Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Gardeners Patriotic Clubs

Editor Republican:
 l notice with interest the suggestions of the secretary of agriculture to grow vegetables on city lots and to blow up lawns for that purpose. So far as lawns are concerned. it would not be necessary around Phoenix and other cities Of the Salt River valley for there are hundreds of acres of vacant lots around Phoenix that are idle. nothing on them but weeds mesquite and sage brush
 Any effort by citizens of the city to plant and grow vegetables, independent of any organization would be little less than failure for the reason that those employed Tn banks, stores, manufactur- Ing and other industries, with few ex- ceptons, have had no practical exper- lence ln the growing of vegetables; and fewer still have had the experience of gardening by irrigation.
 We all know of the great success of the agricultural departments boys and girls clubs, (mark the word clubs. Tn other words organizati0ns), in rais- ing corn, cane and cotton; where Johnny showed his daddy how to grow 100 bushels of corn to the acre instead Of 20 bushels. Well, it reminds me of bringing up father"
 To come to the point of organization already mentioned. In a few weeks. there will be hundreds of bows and girls between 10 and IS years of age out of school, who could be enrolled in Gardeners Patriotic Club" These boys and girls, and parents if you please, working under the supervision of an experienced truck grower could grow hundreds of tons of vegetables. It would be necessary to have several organizations to take in all of the city and the adjoining many acres The city could be divided into districts and men with teams hired to do the blowing and putting the land into good physi- cal condition for planting. After this no team would be needed, but those in the district could club together and buy or hire a horse and cultivator with full set of attachments. One horse and cul- tlVator would be sufficient to work 5 acres or more, doing away with nearly all hand hoeing, which Johnny does not have any desire to do The horse of course would not be used where the patch was too small. The irrigating and ditches would have to be arranged and worked out similar to the farmers irrigating ditches.
 If not violating any city ordinance this work could be under the direction and supervision of an executive com- mittee or board of three appointed by the mayoE The committee to consist oftWo residents of the city and one living outside the city limits. The said board to obtain the support of the county supervisors and Water Users Association as matters under their jur- lsdiction would have to be dealt with.
 The poultry business could be handled systematically by bows and

Plea for Economy

In spite of the probability that the which we have entered will not be long, it would be the height of folly disregard the dictates prudence and base calculations that idea
 It is somewhat difficult for the average to understand the relationship between per- sonal and finances Because the government is abstraction not easy to see that the wastefulness of the individual reacts on the nation
 Nevertheless, it is a fact that the foundation of national wealth is personal thrift That nation can best sustain strain whose people are econ- ]. nomical in their habits
 It is the saving habits of people that pour wealth into the financial reservoirs of the country At this time when because all the world is at war; there is world wide shortage of food and prices all things

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 12-Amazing flights took place today in prices for wheat and corn. Demand for cash wheat was so urgent and especially from export and milling interests, that May de- livery rose II cents above yesterdays finish, far surpassing all top records. The market closed excited at to 915 net advance, with May s21712 to s2.1S and July at $1.S9 to $1.S9A. Corn gained 5 A. to TAG oats, to 2AcA27s, and provisions 1855 to 32c
 Persistent buying and a lack of of ferings characterized the wheat mar ket except during brief period at the outset when rains in the southwest temporarily eased down new crop de- liyeries. Later, however, the attention of traders centered almost wholly on indications of sharp competition be- tween seaboard interests and represen- tatives of domestic flour manufactur- CTS. In this connection, it was said eX- port business was being done on a much larger scale than current esti- mates would imply. Rumors that for eign governments were purchasing, re- ceived special notice, whereas reports of peace moves, including word of sup posed overtures by Bulgaria for sep arate terms, seemed to be completely ignored.
 Highest prices of the day in the wheat pit were reached in the last 15 minutes. In the final transactions the market reacted little, but nervous ness was hardly any. if at all abated Bulls contended that world scarcity of breadstuffs was now recognized by all
 Corn sympathized with the wheat strength, but a first was the leader in the upward movement of prices. Oats derived firmness from other cereals.
 Provisions swung upward, influenced chiefly by the rise in corn Close Wheat: May, S2.17h; July, slS9 Corn: May. S1.34A July. S1. 1.222
