PLANT A 
Home vegetable gardeners have made a tremendous contribution 
of vital importance to the food supplies of America. In World War 
II, backyard plots were credited with the production of 42% of the 
nation’s vegetables despite shortages of tools and fertilizers. This 
represented 7,949,000 tons of produce from 20,000,000 vegetable 
garden plots. 
Each and every home gardeners’ efforts would be even more 
valuable should bombs fall on our large population and transportation 
centers. This would cause the normal distribution of fresh vegetables 
to be instantly disorganized, and every section of our country would 
depend on locally grown vegetables to provide a balanced diet for 
the population. Home grown vegetables, wisely selected as to variety 
and properly cared for, can also Jessen the drain on commercial stocks 
of food in stores. 
An adequate food supply is important to every citizen. Every town, 
city, and suburban family with a plot of sunny, open space of suitable 
soil, or access to a community garden, can make an important con- 
tribution to his personal and his country’s welfare by planning now 
to plant his vegetables early. The scarcities of the last emergency 
should be remembered for a long time to come. Probably only the 
close of the last war prevented a breakdown in the foodstuffs from 
producers and manufacturers to retailers and consumers which may 
have shaken our way of living. 
No one can even estimate how soon we again will need millions of 
gardens. However, many families are realizing now that their family 
protection for the next year can start inexpensively right now with 
the coming of warmer spring days for planting. The American home 
must follow a plan of action which will strengthen the security of 
families. It must include the land and the natural resources useful 
in building a strong population. 
Vegetable gardening requires little effort for the many returns It 
provides. There:is now ample supplies of seed and fertilizer available 
for every citizen who plans to save on his family’s food budget and 
at the same time contribute to his country’s needs. At this critical 
time, everyone who considers the facts upon which the future and 
well being of our nation are contingent, will recognize the wisdom of 
using the land in his own backyard.
