home to tlie jieople of our towns and villages wdio have 
gardens or land eapable of being used for that purpose. 
In Ibe eountry the farmers and fruit growers are short 
of helj) and arc w orking to the limit of their strength. In 
our towns and cities there are thousands of people who 
after olliee hours can raise enough vegetables and fruit, 
not only for their own use but for that of many otber 
families as well. Let everyone of us wdio can do so re¬
