Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1918 farm and garden operations de-
pends prosperity or our "going broke" ."
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres ). to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground.
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!

HOME GARDENS
CUT STORE BILLS
President Georgia Chamber OF Com
merce Shows How Millions were
Saved Last Year

Atlanta. Georgia.-(Special.) )-"More
money was saved in 1917 through the
medium of the home garden than ever
before, the United States Department
of Agriculture estimating that there
were fully one million new gardens
made last year." says H. G. Hastings.
President of the Southeastern Fair and
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
in an interview reviewing the 1917
farming operations in the South.
Thousands upon thousands of our
people in the South,' said Mr.. Hast
ings. "for the first time in their lives
learned to appreciate the money saw
ing power of the home garden, proper
ly planned, prepared for, planted and
kept planted during the entire sea-
SON."
"Up to the present it has been very
hard to get our people to consider the
home garden seriously as real sub
stantial factor in food production with
the consequent saving of money that
went for food supplies at the store.
Unless we are much mistaken the
home garden will from now on be
taken as seriously as any other part
of the farm work.
"a quarter to a half acre devoted
to variety Of vegetables liked by the
family can be kept going nearly the
whole year in the South and give its
owner as much as the product Of two
or three acres of cotton, even at pres
ent prices, will buy at the store. The
right kind of a garden means an
abundance of healthful food during
spring, summer and fall and an abund-
ance either canned or dried for win
ter use"
Let no one be fooled by the lies
spread abroad that the Government
is going to seize home, canned goods
on closet shelves in the farm or
home. These lies are started by Ger
man agents for the express purpose Of
discouraging our people in increased
food production and saving Few can
go to the firing line, but all can join
in and have a part in home produc-
tion of food
1--WE have never seen permanent
ly prosperous farm section either in
the United States or in foreign coun-
tries that was not a diversified Sec
ton, and in every diversified section
the home garden has an honored and
valued place. The home garden is q
store bill cutter Of the first rank"
