VEGETABLES FOR VICTORY. 
It is vitally necessary for every American who can | 
have a garden to plant vegetables as a contribution to 
our war effort. Fresh vegetables are not only food but 
essential to good health. Home canning of all surplus 
is recommended. Consider what vegetables you can use 
fresh from the garden, how much you will be able to 
preserve in cans and what you can store for winter use. | 
Plant an ample supply and plan for a succession of | 
plantings through the season. 
With curtailment of many fresh vegetables shipped | 
in from long distances local market growers should plan — 
for maximum production with the fertilizer and labor 
available. 
There is a definite shortage of many varieties of vege- 
table seed but if care is used in purchasing and plant- 
ing there should be enough for all. There must be a 
great increase in local vegetable production but plant- 
ings should not be increased beyond the amount that 
can receive proper cultivation and harvesting.
