FALL GARDENS AND CANNING

With the signing of the armistice last fall belief became gen.
eral that food prices gradually would turn back to their normal
or pre-war basis.
Instead, in all lines, they have continued to soat-meats,
vegetables and canned goods. There seems no indication of a
drop in prices. 1t may be that conditions under which prices
are being raised are artificial, but artificial or real, the fact
remains, You can escape the consequences only by raising at
home more of what you are to consume. Now is the time to
start your late summer and fall garden. Go to it if you want
toothsome and wholesome vegetables, better than you can buy
at any price, because they are fresh and tender, and cheaper than
the commonest that your huckster hawks, This season, so bad
for field crops generally, is ideal now to start the late garden,

There are many other tasty and nutritious vegetables that

THE E PROBLEM

Mankind has always been confronted by the problem of food
and is likely to be. 1t is the great problem. Sometimes it is
more acute than at others, and this seems to be one of the
times. Five or six great packing houses, each owning millions,
by joining together, are said to have come into control of the
major part of the food products of the country, and they are
extending their activities to other countries. The ultimate con-
sumer, who must eat in order to live, is iii a poor way; he is
being ground to pieces between the upper and neither milstones.
The minimum price of wheat is fixed at $40, and the big fell
lows who have the wheat stored in great elevators are complain
ing that they should be receiving S. the bushel. There is plenty
OF wheat in the world, but the consumer cannot get to it.
Australia and Argentina have the surplus of four years pro-
duction on hand. These countries could not dispose of their
wheat, because there were no ships to carry i, away. They
would like to sell this wheat at so cents the bushel if it could
be sent overseas, which it cannot, for lack of bottoms.
Meat is the standard food Of Americans, but meat, thanks
to the trust, has gone beyond the reach of the average family
and may not be had. When they seek frumentaceous or fari-
naceous food they find that their government has fixed the price.
beyond reason for the home product and raised up tariff barriers
against its importation from other countries. We cannot expect to
be miracuousy fed as were the Hebrews during the exodus
In the big cities, where population is congeSted, the food ques-
ton is not merely serious, it is tragic. Where people have access
to the land it can be met by proper effort. Peas and beans and
meats can be raised in abundance, and these are ample to sustain
life. Daniel and his companions refused meat and wine from
the kings table, preterring their accustomed pulse, which was
legumes Of all kinds, And in addition to these we can have
roasting ears, which are ~palatable and nourishing. A person can
make a good meal off of big roasting ear, and shake the empty
cob in the face of the meat trust in triumph and defiance. A
small patch of ground properly titled will produce food enough
to supply a family, and with an abundance Of fruits people
can live independent of the predatory packers and other food
exploters. That they will learn to do this is inevitable; neces-
shy will scourge them to it.
We cannot look to the air for mama, We must look to
the ground for our food, and we need not look in vain. The
American people, when put to it. can do almost anything they
undertake and they will cut the claws of the predatory packers,
