praising the brave general and say

about his having slept in yon clump

Private Brooks was killed in the

Do YOul. Part!

Farmers in this county are determined
to edo their part" in our nations "all-out'
effort to win the war. At least, that is the
impression we get from talking with them
and from observing their actions.
Today food is recognized as one of the
most important tools of war. Although the
Importance of raising sufficient food and
and feed for family and livestock has been
stressed for years by farm organizations,
government agencies and farm leaders, the
problem is still significant one.
Tremendous strides have been made in
North Carolina. In 1899 North Carolina
farm families produced sixty-three million
dollars of their food needs, or $213 worth
per family, which is about one-half of the
needs In the same year about 278,276 farm
families had gardens, valued at an average
of $50 per family.
However, there were 31,149 families
that did not have gardens and many of
those with gardens were not producing en-
ough.
This year, under the Victory Garden
program, it is proposed that every farm
family raise food for the family and feed
for livestock. Raise enough so that more
canned food can be left to be shipped to
the war fronts and to the Allies to help win
the war.
The Victory Garden program is based
on patriotism, economic needs and health.
Because Of the advanced prices of food,
shortage of containers and increasing war
needs, more food must be produced at home.
Our goal is a 'Victory Garden for Every
Farm Family in This County" Be sure to
do your part Raise Victory Garden
