Victory Gardens 
$F 85 
Top-ranking Government Agencies, such as the U. S. Department of Agriculture, National Advisory 
Garden Committee, U. S. Office of Education, U. S. Office of Civilian Defense, are urging all civilians who 
can possibly do so, to have a VICTORY GARDEN this year. The following reasons, among many, speak for 
themselves; action is up to you— 
Not enough farmers and their helpers are left on 
the farms of the United States to produce as much 
food as will be needed in 1943. Civilian meeds 
MUST take second place, for we are at war. 
Very few of the fresh vegetables you eat are pro- 
duced nearby, so most of them require transpor- 
tation over great distances to reach the market 
you patronize. 
There are not enough transportation facilities, 
(freight, express or truck, ) to move the food as in 
peace-time. Your gas and tire ration books will 
not permit you to run all over the countryside to 
buy fresh vegetables at will.

The fact that money is now very plentiful does 
not eyen guarantee that you can exchange money 
for all the food you want for the duration of the 
war. 
When vegetables are not for sale, you MUST raise 
them, to have them.
