There is a great movement all over
the country to plant seeds this year.
Everywhere people are urging each
other to put in every available acre.
cities are blowing up their vacant lots
even their back streets. railroads are
allowing the farmers to rlow up their
rights Of way. lawns are being turned
under, indeed the whole country is ris-
ing to meet the need Of food. In the
cities and on the smaller plots Of land
vegetables will be grown. These areas
arc too small to be devoted to grain
production. Potatoes bccts. carrots. all
the common garden vegetables, will be
produced in amounts never before
