RECLAIM WASTE TOWN LANDS
The question of using idle city
lands for food production is just
now engaging the attention OF the
people of England, as it has al
ready done those OF Germany, and
efforts are Icing made to conserve
this potential source cf' wealth.
1t is estimated that in the city of
London alone there are $4,000 "a
cres of idle land, capable of pro-
ducing annually $500 worth of
foodstuffs per acre an amazing to
tai of $7,000,0O0 yearly.
In connection with the present
high cost of living this item OF
news should carry potent lesson
for every town and city in our own
country
The subject is full of possibilities
for Extra.
Almost any family can cultivate
from a quarter to half an acre OF
ground, ard a quarter or hall
acre will produce vegetables and
small fruits fer most any family 70
the entire year.
Let us have revival of garden
ing interest in this town this year
Let's every one of us who have a
few square feet or yards of sol
see to it that that soil produces
this summer all of which it is ca
pable. If we have no surplus ground

The new process differs from
other processes because the vege-
tlaEleS are not cooked. They are
sliced very thin, i'm fact to a
thickness little more than sheet

a low temperature
No change dn their flavor is
noticeable and all have the fla

The evaporation is so great
that sliced POTATOES can be re-
druced from z pounds to 1 pound
AOnicmls 13 to 1, Cabbage IS TO-
L, Spinach IA to L, CARROTS, tur-
nips and similar roots 10 to 1.

persons, and hundred pound bar
