FEWER FLOWERS,
MORE VEGETABLES

With the idea being fostered in
Lordsburg that to raise vegetables
this year will be like running ? gold
mine, it is probable that there will
be fewer flowers in our gardens and
more vegetables.
This idea of making every garden
yield potatoes, cabbage and the rest
Of it, if done throughout the entire
country, will add about 10 or 20
percent to the annual yield of these
crops; and next fall there should be
a plenty.
