Do Your Bit as a
 Victory Gardener.

''The home garden of Ameri- ca has become an institution of worldwide importancd," says the War Gardening manuel, publish ed by the National War Garden commission, Washington, D. c.
 Why more home gardens must be planted this year is explained in the following paragraph:
 "The winter of 1917-18 brought the mostserious traffic congestion the United States has ever seen. This condition has no meaning more significant than that the gardens of this year must do even more than those of 1917 in free ing the overburdened railroads from the need of transportating food products. With food short age threatening the allied nations and with railroad congestion as an added factor, the war garden results of the coming season must be several times greater even than the vast yield of last year. !"
 The food administration is look ing to Arizona to increase it's acreage in Victory Gardens this year.
