Vegelalles for Vitality 
.. . for Victory 
There are those who fight in many lands, and those who remain 
at home making the things needed by the fighting men. Chief re- 
quirement for those abroad and at home is FOOD. 
You have been urged by your Government to cut down on your 
requirements of meat and use more VEGETABLES. It is a fact that 
we cam all do a better job if we are well fed therefore, the culti- 
vation of food is extremely important, and VEGETABLES move into 
the front ranks. 
V for VEGETABLES for VICTORY is our slogan this year. The 
farmer knows the important part he is called upon to play—to raise 
more and better crops—but he is somewhat handicapped by the 
shortage of help. Therefore, it is up to individuals living in cities, 
suburban and rural districts to transform any unused plots of 
ground into vegetable gardens. So let's roll up our sleeves and 
start digging. 
To make a garden, there are several important procedures: 
1—Select your soil for a garden plot with natural fertilizer and 
improve same with commercial fertilizer and add organic 
matter. 
2—Plow or spade deeply so fertilizer is worked well into soil. 
3—Pulverize the soil ready for planting with cultivator, rake or 
harrow. 
4—Purchase and plant seeds. You get only tested and certified 
seeds at ABEL’S SEED HOUSE, and free information on gar- 
den problems. 
5—Cultivate to keep soil in condition for air and moisture and 
free from weeds. 
6—Use the correct Insecticide to protect plants and vegetables 
{rom being destroyed by insects. 
THEN ... HARVEST THE CROP 
Every farmer knows “IT IS THE CROP THAT COUNTS” and 
ABEL'S SEEDS, with the proper cooperation, will produce a ‘‘bumper’' 
crop. Consult us regarding your planting problems. 
Let's all get out and dig in the soil this spring for recreation 
and profit, if not in your own back yard, then help your neighbor 
or a farmer, for Food will help to Win the War and your contribu- 
tion in this way will make the V more vital in VEGETABLES and 
VIGTOR Ys
