Vegetables 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 can 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 betier crops—but he is somewhat handicapped by the 
shoriage of help. Therefore, it is up to individuals living in cities, 
suburban and rural districis 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 ihe 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 
from being destroyed by insects.

Dear Friends and Gardeners: 
There probably is not one phase of business 
which has not by this time been affected by the 
war, and farming in particular has had enormous 
strains put upon it. With many farmers, food- 
producers either in the armed forces or in defense 
factories. This means that all planters must be surer 
than ever that every seed they plant will be cleaned 
and tested and suited to soil and climate condi- 
fioris, “ouch as ;ABEL’S*SEEDS: “Tried “out“on sour
