HOW ABOUT
YOUR LOT?

Are you going to raise vegetables in
your back yard?
Your neighbors are, and YOU certainly
don't want them to be more patriotic
and energetic than you.
All over the country people are cuI-
tivating their back yards and vacan.
lots They are growing potatoes. on
ions. carrots. turnips and like food
stuffs.
They are taking the advice of ex-
perts who warn them that war means
a shortage of food and are preparing.
Mayor Smalley urges the people of
Hammond to do the same. Land with
in the city limit will be titled free of
charged by city teams. Notify d. c. At
ianson, president of the Hammond
Home Gardening association and your
back yard or vacant lot will be plowed.
All you have to do is to buy seed and
and fertilizer and devote your leisure
time.
The association met at the Chamber
of Commerce Saturday night 1t defin-
itely settled the question of cultivating
lands outside the city limits The pur-
pose Of the organization is to encour-
age home gardening and not intrude
into the farmers territory
Different organiza tions. schools and
improvement organizations are to take
up the work.
Figures were given on the cost of
fertilizer. For an average lot 50x125
one hundred pounds of fertilizer would
be sufficient. 1t costs S125.
Chief of Police Austgen has notified
his patrolmen TO watch the gardens and
TO protect them from stray dogs and
chickens. also to- keep children from
running them.
