THE WAR GARDEN VICTORIOUS 
179 
Thus the magazines and the newspapers of the United 
States cooperated in making a success of the war- 
garden movement. Without their help this could not 
have been accomplished. What was brought about 
with their aid shows the 
power of the printed page. 
It spread the message of 
the war garden to the mil- 
lions. It made possible the 
enlistment of a vast army 
of war gardeners and of 
home canners and dryers. 
It brought into action the 
patriotic will of the Ameri- 
can people to do full share 
in the battle for international freedom and world-wide 
democracy. In short it was through the printed page 
that the war garden and home conservation were given 
their proper place among war-time activities.
