THIS GARDENER ISN'T
VERY FOND OF DOGS

Washington, June Next to war.
dogs seem to be about the most ter
rible thing in the world according to
the hundreds of letters that are COM
ing to the National Emergency Food
Garden commission which lis conduct
ing nation wide campaign for more
food gardens and Is just completing
nation wide survey on what the coun-
try is realizing doing in food conserva-
ton.
In these letters all sorts of answers
to the dog question II it be a question.
are made. One Of the latest Is from c,
S. Harrison of York. Nebr.. who sends
a tabulated account of what can be
done with the dog. Harrison says let
war tax" He is for ten dollar tax on
dogs He Of course would save the
trained sheep dog. The document tells
Of the damage done by dogs to children.
horses, gardens and also what good
gloves dog skin will make.
national dog law is advocated by
the Nebraska who says: "A ten cent
dog In town Is often allowed to rob
people Of one hundred dollars worth Of
sleep in a single night while he barks
at a cat Sleep is one Of the best as
sets we have. A man might as well
break into neighbours house and rob
him of five or ten dollars a night than
to allow that worse than worthless dog
to rob him Of sleep. This should be a
national matter. State laws are not
strong enough"
Many have written the commission
asking il to start campaign against
cats and hundreds of suggestions are
being sent in as to how to police the
food gardens. The Boy Scouts have
been organized for this purpose In
many towns.
