CITIZENS LINE up
FOR WAR GARDENS
Urgent Need of More Food
Products Cited by Dr..
H. F. Knapp.

Citizens associations in every part
of the District of Columbia are lining
up in the war garden campaign. and
! indica tions at present are that the
number of back yard and vacant lot
gardens in the District during the
coming gardening season will be far
in excess of the number cultivated last
year.
Plans for the utilization of every
Cleveland Park were discussed at a
meeting last night of the Cleveland
Park School and Community Associa-
ton in John Eaton School. when DR.. H.
F. Knapp of the Department of Agri-
culture spoke on the vitality urgent
need of producing every possible pound
of food as close as possible to the
point of consumption.
Urgent Need of More Food.
DR.. Knapp declared that more food
must be produced this year than ever
before. or famine conditions will con-
front the world. He urged immediate
indiv idual action SO that every family
would raise it's own foodstuffs. and not
weaken the country's defenSeS by
drawing upon national reserves. He
recomme nded home gardening as bet
ter exercise than golf, and as a very
effective form of patriotic endeavor.
Miss Josephine Burk, principal Of
John Eaton School. related how her
pupils had blazed the way for their
elders in gardening projects. and out
lined the enlarged scope of efforts in
this direction which are planned for
the coming year.
Call for Volunteers.
Volunteers in the army of the pillow
and hoe were called for at a meeting
munity Association, and plans were
made for a mass meeting of residents
of the eastern part of the city, to be
held April 5 in Eastern High School.
Speakers with a thorough knowledge of
conditions are to address the meeting,
and garden experts will tell the au-
|dience how to plant and cultivate war
gardens to obtain best results.
Names of persons in need of farm

nounced yesterday that farmers must
be prepared to pay higher wages this
year than ever before.
The bureau in a statement issued last

make application at once to the bu-
reau.
The bureau pointed out that the lure
of high wages in cities and towns has
drawn thousa nds from the farms, but
that large percentage of these work
ers would return if assured of better
wages than they formerly received.
