1.-The American farmer is not going

Water makes up a large part of fresh
fruits and vegetables. The answer is
that he must grow his own table food.
He must also study the possibilities Of
substitution. This applies to vegeta-
bles, fruits, poultry, eggs and dairy
products which must be transferred
from commercial channels to home
consumption if they are to come with

Peculiar Condition Created.
specialized farming has created
conditions of which comparatively few
persons are aware. The grain farmer
in many instances buys ever his pota-
toes and green vegetables; the fruit
farmer buys his dairy products; and
even the man who raises milk for
creamery, ~condensary or cheese fac
tory is likely to send his cream or
milk away, feed the skim milk Or whey
to the calves. and not make his own
butter. This year, just as far as pos

satisfactory than seeding larger rea
