Home Preparedness
No. 4---What a Million
Door Yards Can Do
BY Carl Vrooman

(Asslstant Secretary of Agricultural
lMcmber of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission)
Washington, April Without go
ing beyond their own dooryards mil
lions of American women can render
real service to the nation This service
is as real as thar rendered by the sol
dier on the field of battle. 1t is to
plant and care for the little plot of
land that lies hack of the house-to
make a home garden.
One million dooryard gardens plant
ed in our suburbs and cities this spring
would mean a national saving of pos
sibly $50000,000, a sum as large as
that which President Mckinley was
given by congress for the prosecution
of the Spanish American war. Grow
ing vegetables for home consumption
in these gardens would relieve the
railroads of the necessity of carrying
millions of pounds of bulky freight
thus releasing thousands of ears and
engines for hauling men and munitions.
Our experts have calculated that an
average American family uses about 90
bushels Of potatoes a year, 1t does not
take but fraction of an acre to pro-
duce this quantity of this important

crop is 200 bushels in a season, and it
rs not uncommon for potatoes to run
TO 400 or more bushels per acre.
Radishes, lettuce, early bcets, beans.
peas, tomatoes, spinach and numerous
easily cultivated vegetables can be
raised in the back yard provided the
soil is fertile and intelligence is en-
ploycd in the process. There is no rea-
son in the world why 100000 back
yard gardens should not be planted
this spring, planted as soon as the
ground is warm enough, and supply
100000 families with good, cheap, nu-
tritious foods all this summer, war or
no war;
The hitherto wasted resources of our
dooryard land should be utilized at
once. 1t is no more work for woman
TO tend a vegetable garden than it is
to tend a flower garden or a house
plant. At present it is more patriotic
to subordinate flowers to food.

with all other ills as mere illusion.
Maurice Maeterlinck has gone
deeply into the subject, but his
conclusions are possibly a little
too shadowy, a little too poetic
for the practical mind to follow.
The nearest approach to them
perhaps is found in the hack
neyed saying: I've live in the
hearts we leave behind"
And James Flicker, the young
English poet who died two years'
ago, had his own views on the sub
ject which he expressed eXquis-
itely:
And life stood still q moment;
mists came swinging
Blindly before US. Suddenly We
passed
The boundaries Of Joy. Our hearts
we're ringing
True to the trembling world. We
stood at last
Beyond the golden gate,
Masters of time and fate,
And knew the tune that sun and
stars were singing.
For like two travellers on a hill
who stay
viewing the smoke that dims the
busy plain,
So, far away (sweet words are
Far away'D
We saw our life; and all its
crooked lane,
Dim cities and dark walls,
Fell as world that falls,
And left us radiant in the Wind
of Day."

body and his heavenly city. accord
ing to the vision of st. John; the
Hindu his Nirvana; the Indian his
Happy Hunting Grounds.
Every religion and every sect
must hold some part of the truth.
Nv own belief is that when the
final revelation does come we shall
find the "Great Adventure" to be
no more of an adventure than the
