RAISED own CORN
How American Boys in France
Got DeIicacy.
Turned From the Trenches to Truck
Farming and Were n Success
fuD on the Field ~
at the Front.

You should have seen the soldiers
raising garden truck for Christmas.
The climate of France was strange to
them. as was the soil, and some of
the vegetables that please the French
palate, according to Sterling Heilig in
IN exchange.
But the American buddies took up
winter trucking with q will.
Nobody eve raised green corn down
there in winter. Nor in summer, very
much, either" answered the buddies.
A few natives used to raise 1t to sell
to Americans Of Parts, but they had
never tried to eat 1t. though they
raised much yellow corn for meal and
fodder. Last summer the %doughboys
in certain hospital truck farm dis
tricts resolved to have the real thing.
At Bordeaux, where they were par
ticularly successful, roasting ears were
furnished to the private car OF Secre-
tary Baker when he made his trip to
France. And it was from the secre-
tary of wars recommendations, they
say that the great Americantruck farm
movement In France quit Red Cross
swaddling clothes and became general
tied from fighting front to resting
rear.
In the south OF France winter is a
J good deal like summer, and they raise
almost anything. Heroes of st. Mi.
hiel were betting that they would have
green corr for Christmas-and the
French natives bet against them.
Most Of the gardeners were onv
~lescents. wounded at St. Mihiel, and
hungry for the fresh green things they
expected to eat presently. Only those
who have been deprived Of green stuff
30 long that they shy at the sight Of
a tin can are able to appreciate the
value Of these real war gardens. For.
the lighting over, eating goes on, and.
when rutabagas that father used to
feed to the cows cost 40 cents a pound.
the food problem is clearly stated to
every man in the army.
The surgeons a the convalescent
heroes Of Chateau Thlerry and st. Mi.
hiel need the garden work as much as
they need the garden truck. Get the
man out. even for half a day. in the
light work Of truck farming. and you
get him out of himself-and away from
sitting around hospitals. listening to
wounds being dressed and troubles
talked over. High British and Aus
tralian neurosis authorities agree. alb
solutely. that working the soil will
work more cures than any other treat
ment.
In the army farming,in France many
zee q f0rerunner Of what will happen
when Uncle Sam gives little govern
ment farms to his veterans on their re-
turn.
I'VE ind that the American truck
farmer" says q worker. after he has
talked q little with French truckers
and has the lay Of the land. turns out
better than the Frenchman-by up-to-
date methods. Side by side. the little
American truck farms In France are
superior to truck farms under French
gardeners in the suburbs OF French
cities. 1t Is absolutely demonstrated"
