BACKYARD GARDENING PAYS
Cleveland Has Tried Plan for Five
Years to Its Profit, and Many other
Cities Have Taken Up the Idea.

"a vegetable garden forevery home,
is the new slogan in Ontario, and Il
is a slogan worth while. The provin,
cial government has launched sys-
tematic campaign for backyard agri.
culture, and it proposes to show every
householder how he may, by domestic
farming, combat the increasing cost Of
living and the growing scarcity Of food
stuils, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
one Of the aims of the Ontario gov
ernment Is. of course, so TO increase
the available food supply at home as
to enable the contribution Of still more
to the hard d-pressed motherland. But
the plan must be broader in Its results
Backyard gardening pays. Cleveland
has tried ii, these five years past tc
its profit, and scores Of other cities
have taken up the idea. The earth is
the source of wealth. The man who
cnltivates a plot Of ground contributes
TO the welfare Of all mankind.
The new Canadian movement owes
Its origin 10 the stress of war. II is
the kind Of movement which perpetu-
ates itself. The man. the woman or
the child who once knows the delight
OF growing things is always the better
for Ii. and so Is his community. This
country can follow with profit the ex.
ample in intensive cultivation which
Ontario is TO furnish.

to make dust-proof place in which people
