178 THE WAR GARDEN VICTORIOUS 
Lumberman , the Christian Endeavor World , the Forecast , 
and the People's Home Journal , and many others were 
among the publications that carried war-garden stories. 
The Literary Digest printed 
a summary of the work ac- 
complished and showed 
what Daylight Saving had 
done to further the efforts 
of the war gardener. 
The manufacturer of 
plows or soda fountains, as 
well as the editor of a general- 
interest magazine, realized the value of home food pro- 
duction to his employes; and through their house- 
organs the heads of many industrial and business con- 
cerns spread the gospel 
of “Food F. O. B. the 
Kitchen Door.” Trade 
publications of all kinds 
throughout the country 
carried garden lessons 
and inspirational articles 
urging their workers to 
produce food and thus 
help themselves and their 
country at the same time. 
Some of them reproduced the Commission’s posters in 
their magazines and used other material furnished them. 
The work of cooperation with newspapers and peri- 
odicals was conducted by Russell T. Edwards, under 
the direction of Secretary Ridsdale.
