72 THE WAR GARDEN VICTORIOUS 
Sc Western, sent this message: “I assure you that I 
shall do all in my power to have the cooperation of 
all the officials of our roads in an endeavor to increase 
the victory gardens of 1919 over the war gardens of 
1918.” Similar evidences of activity were received 
from many others. 
New posters were furnished the officials by the Com- 
mission to help carry to the railroad men and the public 
all over the United States the call for continuing and 
increasing home food production. These posters were 
placed in stations throughout the country, in the great 
city terminals and in the stations in small towns, under 
a general order issued by W. G. McAdoo, Director 
General of Railroads. The posters thus officially dis- 
played are regarded as one of the most potent factors 
in reaching the American public with the message of 
the world’s food needs which followed the signing of 
the armistice.
