VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
FOR MORE GARDENS.
Industrial Congress Seeks to Lower
High Cost Of Living.

'noustriaI Conoress seeks 10 Lower
High Cost Of Living.
More vigorously than ever the Tex
as Industrial Congress in 1917 will
urge the individual both In town and
country to raise a garden. The high
cost Of living demands and makes 1t
necessity that every citizen do his
part toward raising feedstuff for his
family and conserving that already
grown.
In bringing the garden idea to every
home the State Federation OF Wo.
mems Clubs will assist the congress
by making It part OF their years
program. The work will be taken up
through its lot improvement commit
tees in cities and its rural life COM
mittees in the country. Along with
the idea OF civic beauty. already EN-.
phasized by the federation. the eco
nomic value OF growing vegetables
will be stressed. Lots on which flow
ers were grown this year will likely
bear vegetables next year.
Speaking Of the garden idea, Mrs.
Fred Fleming. president OF the FEEDER.
alton Of Women's Clubs. says: 1--WE
are glad to cooperate and do our best
to assist in any movement that Is for
the general good. This appeals to me
as being in line with our work. II
has a distinctly practical value. In
fact 1t only means that we will have
TO broaden line OF work we have
already been doing.
Il am glad to endorse the plan and
In my January letter will bring Il "a
the attention Of our club members
In fact one Of our chairmen has al
ready suggested that where flowers
we're grown on vacant lots this year
she will urge that vegetables be rails
ed next year. Throughout variou,
committees we can and will agitat,
the question In town and city so thai
the idea win be brought to the atten
tion of practically every home"
Two main ideas in the garden cam
paign OF the Industrial congress fol
1917 will be the all.year round gar
den and the most intensified garden
ing on each plot. Through CORE
