“This is putting the V in Victory Gardening’’—writes our good friend Mr. Ira A. Winey of Thompsontown. 
“Here are six Pumpkins weighing 602 pounds in all from a single vine of Schell’s Hundred Weight Pumpkin 
in my Victory Garden this fall. Here is the weight of each: 117 Ibs.; 115 lbs.; 114 lbs.; 109 lbs.; 78 ]bs.; and 69 lbs., 
that’s putting the Pumpkin in the pie, too.’’-—writes Mr. Winey. 
Congratulations Mr. Winey! You have proved very conclusively that it is possible to grow a ‘‘whale 
of a lot’? more food from a 10-cent investment in seeds than you can buy in a ean for 10 cts. 
The Need of Enormous Food Supplies and Its Seriousness 
The Food Administrator at Washington says—‘‘We will need ‘mountains’ more food in 1943 than 
were produced in the record crops of 1942.” 5 
FRIENDS REMEMBER—you cannot ‘‘make”’ food, nor can all your money buy it if it is not available or if 
needed first for our armed forces, so you see the possible seriousness of your food supply this summer and 
next winter. 
YOUR VICTORY GARDEN should be as large as you can take care of so you can grow sufficient vegetables 
for your entire family for all summer and fall and enough extra to can and store for winter—at least 125 quarts 
of vegetables and fruits for each member of your family will be needed. 
In 1942—30 million pounds of vegetables were dehydrated and shipped abroad. 
In 1943—100 million pounds, more than three times as much, must be supplied. And also millions of cases of 
canned vegetables more than last year must be provided—and first grown. 
MARKET GARDENERS grow all the vegetables your farm will produce—city families will buy all you can 
grow for them, 
FARMERS—you should by all means have a full acre or two of vegetable crops for your own family and for 
canning and storing for winter. Don’t be caught short of food,—it could happen. 
THE SUPPLY OF SEEDS. The seed requirements to produce all the food needed at home and abroad will be
