WASHINGTON, D c. June 22-The
crop Of vegetables from home gardens

tically all sections Of the country this
year, says the Uuited States Depart

Just issued. Home gardeners, there

belt possible advantage, without

tiles this year" says the statement.
Home gardeners, therefore, should
lay their plans carefully so that they
will be in q position at the appropri-
ate time to make efficient use Of their
garden produce, both by immediate
consumption and by preservation by
Gaming, drying, or in other ways, so
that no good food will be wasted.
/, "a very material saving can be ef-
fected in the food bill in many instan-
ces by having the meals consist more
largely Of the fresh grown vegetables
and less extensively Of the nonparish-
able foods bought from grocery stores.
By following this plan, also, garden
owners will relieve somewhat the de-
mand for the nonparishable foods.
Even with LIBERAL use in the fam
lily diet in fresh state, however there
will be considerable SURPRISES Of veg
etables from the many home gardens.
These should be saved in some way.
