*Days to first picking in our trials. 
To build up national 
health all our government 
agencies urge an increase in 
consumption of fresh vege- 
tables for 1942. There shou'd 
be no lack of food produc- 
tion—farmers and market 
gardeners can produce 
enough. What is needed is a 
kitchen garden for every 
farm with a well-planned sur- 
plus for canning, and in- 
creased home gardening by 
those who have experience 
and good soil for vegetables. 
Plant all you can use and 
take care of it well, and 
don’t forget to plant some 
flowers too.
