FOOD PRODUCTION 



March 1918 



HE year 1918 may or may not see an end to the lamentable 

 contest in Europe. But, whatever happens, every indication 

 points to the necessity for increased food-production. The 

 inevitable scetfcity of meat should be met as far as possible 

 by developing the food resources of the soil. While it is the duty of the 

 farmer to augment the cereal crops, it is no less the duty of every one 

 possessing a garden to get as much food out of it as possible — every 

 square yard should be made to yield its quota. Peas and Beans arc 

 deserving of greater consideration than was generally deemed necessary 

 last year. Should you be face to face with a meadess day a dish of 

 cither of these legumes might be found no bad substitute. Their nutritive 

 value is in excess of that of beef. Don't omit a fair proportion of Beet, 

 Parsnip, Onion and root crops generally. 



Avoid waste cither by purchzise in excess of your requirements or 

 by unnecessarily thick seeding. Remember seeds were never so scarce. 

 We have, however, covered your requirements — i.e., provided you send in 

 your order in good time. Don't wjiit the advent of sowing time. There 

 arc many new claimants in the field. It will be "first come first 

 served." If our catalogue has failed to reach you please drop us a postcard.
