den II We are going to have one,
and it 10 our patriotic duty to see
that our school does al that il pos
sible to make the school garden 4
success. There has never been
q more patriotic need for this kind of
work than At present. We are we'll
aware Of the fact that all Of our
school grounds do not offer . suitable
place for the school garden, but there
is hardly a community in Emmons
county that does not have an enter
prising farmer who is anxious to do
nate suitable plot for this kind of
work. Some of our schools will close
30 early in the season that the COM
mon school garden would hardly be
practical, and in these communities,
through the aid of the school, each
child should be encouraged and helped
to make an individual garden at
home.
More interest is shown in the school
garden than ever before. Mr.. A.
N. Junge, president of Winchester
school board, has already planned a
ten acre garden for the boys and
girls of Linton. His success in this
kind of enterprise :, assured for ev-
cry boy and girl is interested.
For information on the school gar
den apply to the State Public Library
Commission at Bismarck, or write to

War Food Commi: ON, 210 Maryland
