Increased Egg Production.

ket until May 1 ha' already been deni

is going into the markets in volume
never before known, and despite
slumps in prices the producers have
received more mon " for their spring
eggs than ever before in the history

The Food Admi ~istration, through
every agency at it's command, is en-
couraging the planting of gardens. NO
market gardens pc ~ticularly, but gar
dens for the home use. In order to re-
lieve the transports ton system OF the

asks the people of Tennessee to gro"
at home as many food products as pos
sible, This serves double purpose

Local Organizations.
Onlv through efficient local organt'
cations can the Food Administration
hone to function as it should in every
section of the state. The state food
administrator must depend largely for
the enforcement of regulations upon
the county administrators. In turn
the county administrators are finding
that in order to adequately police their
counties and reach all of the homes
they must have good community Or
carnations. It is recommended that
wherever possible the school house
be made the unit OF organlza
ton, having as the head some ener'
getic and patriotic man or woman who
will personally see that every 1000
message goes into every home in that
community. These communities shout
not only be organized for food conser-
walton and food production, but for
everv war activity. These community
organizations are made to function IN
all Red Cross drives, Y. M. c. A. cam
paigns, Liberty loan, saving stamps,
fuel conservation and other war move
ments.
