Plant Your Garden.

Perhaps there is no better way to
meet the food conservation plea, and
Get some real fun out Of it, than to
plant home garden.

that the Woman's Ten Thousand Club,
the largest organization of women in

vegetables that are shipped into the
valley. There is no excuse for the
apathy toward the home garden plan.
No more fertile soil can be found
than that in the back yard of every
