HOME GARDEN HABIT .
TAUGHT BY THE WAR


Secretary e. T. Meredith, OF the
q. s. department of agriculture, in a
letter sent throughout the country
urging that q thrift garden campaign
be made this spring, to help lower the
high cost OF living, makes an interest
ing statement about the nome gardens
of America.
The war taught this generation the
value OF home gardening, the secre-
tary says, and while there are no
statistics on the value Of the food
produced in this way. the experts OF
the department report that from their
observation more was produced in
1919 than in 1917.
The latter was the first war garden
year when probably moro gardens
were made in this country than ever
before or since Patriotic zeal in
spired attempts TO make vegetables
grow in very barren soil, in many
cases. Many disappointments result
ed, and in succeeding years the num-
Der of gardens undoubtedly was re-
duced. but as the secretary pointed
out. the amount of food produced in
creased.
This was due, without doubt to the
increased skill OF the gardeners that
stuck at it. and the improved yield

season.

BIDS ARE WAIVED
 FOR WINTER MAIL

:. Postmaster R. S. Mcdonald has received instructions to issue a call for bids for carrying mail to and from the kantishna district during the coming winter. The department has announced its willingness to pro- vide the district with a monthly service, commencing on the first of

 lar carrier.
