One Of the first places where the people
of the United States are going to feel the
effect of this nations entry into the war
is in increased food costs.
This is inevitable. No matter who you
are or where you live, you are going to feel
it-unless you do something about it right
away. What can you do, and how shall
you do ito Every man and woman who
has room in his yard or who can get the
use of vacant lot near his home TO start
garden should think and act right now.
You, to whom this idea is new will be
surprised to know that the yield from even
small plot of ground will produce enough
vegetables to feed family of five all sum-
mer. Figure this out in dollars and cents
and you will be surprised at the amount of
money small garden will save you in a
single season. Invest the cost of neces-
sary seeds and the small amount of labor
required and you will be delighted at the
additional goodness you will enjoy in
fresh garden truck picked right out of
your own patch. Try this plan, beginning
now--this month is planting time, and you
will find that you will be distinctly bene-
fitted physically-yes, and mentally, too
by the wholesome outdoor work of potter
ing around in the ground among growing
things. .. I'd.
