Greatest Quantity

II every able-bodied civilian
above the age of 8 were to spend
an average of half an hour in the
garden, the greatest quantity of
homegrown food this country has
ever seen would be produced.
In addition to the worthwhile
contribution to the nations mar

help cut the family food bill, thus
checking the trend toward infla-
ton. Work in the open air pro-
vides wholesome exercise and
recreation for those who have
little time for outdoor activities.
Also, transportation and refrig-

90 YOU'RE going to be a backyard
farmer.
This series of backyard gardening
articles is designed to make your partner
ship with Dame Nature profitable. A
gardener can sidestep food rationing by
producing food which isn't in tin cans and
therefore not rationed. There can be fun,
an actual pocketbook reward, pride in
patriotism and better home nutrition and

In Detroit, weather records of 65 years
give an amateur some guidance in plan
ming a garden calendar.
In those 65 years the average date OF
the last frost in the spring has been April

frost after July Is has been October 13.
That's fair guide to the length of the
safe gardening period. Farther north in
the state the frost-free dates are closer
together.

want Before planting time this series will
