seeds. The advertisement will de-
scribe = great many Of the interesting
things we ara ALI beginning to think
about for the war garden Of 1918.
Watch for this full page I'D which
Will List about everything you can
raise in the war garden and field gar
den. As . war measure we should
plant this year Is we never planted
before. Owing to labor shortage the
farmers are likely to produce less, the
very year we need larger crops. It's
up to the family gardens, cared for
by the whole family to help make up
the shortage. Simply saving will not
win the war. It helps, but we must
produce more. "Plant, plant, plant,
