yard Gardening idea

Urging all residents to take advan-

gardening this summer, Mayor Price
said:
There are a great number OF lots
at present being cultivated in the city
and this cultivation Is a very good
thing. Il shows a spirit Of thrift and
progress on the part Of the people
Something ought to be done 20 reduce
the present high cost of foodstufs and
this suggestion is a very good one.
Personally 1 think that It would
be we'll for the people living in the
city 10 cultivate whatever vacant spots
they can. In a conversation with q
farmer the other day ! was told that
the outlook for the potato and vege
table crop for the fall was far from
good Most of the southern vegetables
were killed by frost. The result
will be that the food supply for this
section OF tho country will have to b.
raised in the northern States and the
outlook for bigger and cheaper CROP
is not promising"
