fact that the production of vegetables by American Victory Gardeners was a powerful 
factor in alleviating the tremendous demand for food in a Wartime Nation. The 
Department of Agriculture estimates a credit fully one-third of the nation’s food 
supply as being produced in Victory Gardens. 

However, the picture for 1944 instead of being better, appears quite discouraging. 
A recent. Gallup poll has shown that there are fully two million less Victory Gardens 
urban areas this year, and that interest in this important pctriotic duty is definitely 
agging. 
_ The public must realize that the reason rationing has been lifted from so many 
important items of food is because they have co-operated in its production, and if your 
Victory Garden is not maintained with the same vigor and determination as last year, 
plus the added know-how gained from last year’s experience, it can be expected that 
the privilege we enjoy today can be very easily removed.

Just the matter of localized drought conditions or excessive rainfall in various parts 
of the country can mean the difference in the success and failure of a crop that may 
cause a dire scarcity. 
We classify Victory Gardening as an important duty upon the American citizenry of 
almost equal importance as the purchase of War Bonds, and the cautious use and 
preservation of our natural resources. 
As we go to press on “’D” Day we wish to add our wishes to all of yours for a speedy 
cnd victorious culmination of the War.
