GET AFTER NEGLECTED LAND
Every Citizen Should Recognize a Duty in Seeing That It Is
 Kept Cleaned Up.

Look not only to your own back yard. but take proprietary interest in any vacant yards or neglected patches of land that are in your neigh borhood. You really ought to have had them cleaned up last autumn. but if you didn't then, in the cause of food conservation and with the hope of an increased crop from the home gardens this summer, have these patches cleared up.
 The department of agriculture sent plea to the people of the land to clean up all plots that were used as war gardens last year in order that the insects that had been harhored in Il dormant state in the underbrush and rubbish might be exterminated and not permitted to multiply and increase Ideally, entomologists tell Us, as soon as the crop has been harvested, the remnants should he promptly cleared away and burned with the insects which they harbor.
 Many persons apparently believe that the action of winter snows and winds would be sufficient to destroy insect life, hut such is not the case.
