A Victory Gardener’s Handbook on Insects and Diseases.pdf

September 7, 2009 · Filed Under Gardening  · Tags: , , , , , ,

Taken from Necessity of pest control by the Victory gardener: Control of the insects and diseases that affect vegetable crops is essential for the success of the many millions of farm, suburban, city and community gardens that are being planted at this time.

The production of vegetables in these gardens during the wartime emergency is of extreme importance. Not only will it aid greatly in relieving the food shortage and in solving the food transportation and food distribution problem, but it will release labor for other employment and will result in a substantial saving of critical materials, such as tin and steel, that would otherwise be needed for the commercial canning of many of these food products.
