privates. You may be cleaning your
rifle, and preparing to Stay half q

come up to you and call you q son of

lots of other hard names. He does not

The obligation of every man, woman
and child out Of uniform to help feed
9imself will be greater in 1918 than in
1917. Therefore the home gardening
and canning activities of last year must
be repeated"
This is the message of the United
States Department Of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. ABB
sence Of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
In 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake and watering can.
There must be no Stacking off. Gar
dening Is everybody's business, but In
1918 everyone must attend to that bust
ness.
And now a word of caution. Don't
try to raise more than you can use.
And water systematically all spring
and summer A few square yards
well titled will yield more than half
acre allowed to run to weeds.
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such en-
terprises commonly prove unwise, bur-
densome to all concerned, and not in
frequently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
to say nothing of time and labor-were
wasted last year in such undertakings.
The governments home gardening spe-
cialists believe that best results will be
attained if each family attempts 10

its own table and to afford the surplus

IN 1918

Every family must help feed
itself.
Fresh vegetables must be
used to lessen home consumption
Of staple foods needed by
troops and the allies.
More food must be canned in
homes than ever before.
There must be a war garden
in every back yard fertile and
sunny enough to grow vege-
tables.
Every seed planted must be
made to count in the food supply.
