Raise Your Own Food
By Emma Conley, Member OF the
Woman's Service Committee OF
the University of Wisconsin

The President has said that there
is one way that every one-man'
woman and chilean be of service
to his country and at the same time
serve himself. The greatest need IN
this country today is an abundanat
supplv of nutritious cheap food, and
Il will be one of the most pressing
needs during the coming summer, fall
and winter.
America at peace faced an abnor-
NAL increase in prices of all common
foods. Today there are no cheap
foods. The cost of living has been
steadily increasing during the last de
cade or two. The only solution to the
problem, even in times of peace, is for
consumers to become producers.
Until the preceding winter, vege-
tables were usually considered cheap
foods as compared with meat, fish,
and other animal foods. Vegetables
have been so cheap that people no
longer raised them but purchased
them from the stores and could Sc
cure a fresh supply practically all the
year round. During the past winter
the price of vegetables increased from
Is to 115 per cent and they are now
as expensive as meat and other AMI
nal foods. The chances are that

TO use fertilizer. If vegetables have
been raised on the lot the previous
season, scatter well rotted manure
over the surface and then pillow or
spade the ground at least six inches
deep, then harrow or rake until the
soil is fine, as near like dust as pos
sible, and level. A fine soil is abso-
lutely essential to good results. In
spading strike the inverted soil with
the fork or spade. This will help
break it up.
Allow the ground to stand after it
has been spaded until after a rain, or
until the soil warns up. 1t is a mis-
take to plant seeds too early.
Fertilizer.
Well ,rotted barnyard manure
makes the best fertilizer. Well rot
ted leaves may also be used. A small
amount of wood ashes or commercial
fertilizer may be used if manure is
not obtainable. Sand or coal ashes
may be spaded into soil having close
texture to separate the particles.
Plan.
Follow a definite plan. Plant the
vegetables in straight rows using a
line. Leave sufficient room between
the rows for proper cultivation, but
do not waste room. Smaller vege-
tables may be planted close together
and early maturing vegetables may
often be planted between the rows Of
later varieties.
