GAIN in 1945 our Government asks 
that we produce as much food as we 
did in 1944. Every one who had a 
garden in 1944 will surely want to have 
as big or bigger garden in 1945. A 
vegetable garden will pay big dividends 
in food and _ health. Home-grown 
vegetables, fresh, canned or dried, as- 
sure the homeowner of larger supplies 
of needed foods, and reduce the drain 
on commercial stocks needed for mili- 
tary purposes. By growing those 
vegetables which yield. the largest 
amounts of calcium, iron and vitamins 
A and C, you get the highest health- 
pbuilding foods. The leafy-green vegeta- 
bles, carrots and other yellow vegetables 
and tomatoes count most in this regard. 
Moreover, they are easily grown. Then 
there is the health-building exercise in 
the garden that is of equal value to the 
vital health foods produced.
