MORE VEGETABLES NEEDED
In ARMY CANTONMENTS

The various army cantonments
throughout the country are creating
an unusual demand for various kinds
of vegetables. The thousands Of SOL
diers at each OF these cantonments
equal the population OF good-sized
cities. As these cantonments have
grown up within a very short time
the question Of vegetables, especially
of the more perishable sort, has be-
come rather serious.
In dealing with this situation the
War Department has decided to pur-
chase vegetables from those already
engaged in the business of vegetable
growing so far as possible rather than
to engage in vegetable growing with
hired help and purchased equipment.
Consequently each camp Quartermas-
ter has been instructed to furnish the
growers in the vicinity Of each camp
and cantonment with the Approximate
quantity of vegetables that will be re-
Quired during a given period.
These growers are to be informed
that the government will purchase
vegetables after sending out circular
proposals, and that the award will
be given to the grower or firm that
offers the vegetables at the lowest
price.
1t is believed that this plan will
stimulate during the coming season
the production Of those crops most
desired in the region Of the canton
ments. where otherwise they might
not be plentiful
