PLAN UNDER WAY FOR
 A MUNICIPAL FARM

A scheme is being agitated here for the establishment this summer of a municipal farm for the purpose of raising vegetables and root crops for the use of the people of the town. It is pointed out that under the present uncertainty as regards shipping, and the possibility that several of the steamers on this run may be taken over by the government for service on the Atlantic coast, it is going to be increasingly difficult to obtain food stuffs from the States, and that some steps must be taken to make the local production as large as possible if shortage is to be avoided. There are a number of good locations at no great distance from the town that could be cultivated at little cost and would produce enough to supply greater part of the needs of the town. The plans have not been completely worked out as yet, but will be com pleted within day or two. It is be- lieyed that practically everybody in town will be willing to come in on the project and that it can be made complete succeSs.-ValdeZ Prospector
