230 East Fourth St., 
Since the Beginning of Time 
Men Have Made Wars— 
But They Also tlad to Make Gardens 
There is a particular need for emphasizing home gardening and 
home food preservation again this year. Our rapid population rise 
over the next 25 years will need 42 percent more food than we now 
use. Higher food goals are being set to meet this challenge. By 
having your own vegetable garden, you can assure your family of a 
source of fresh vegetables in addition to cutting down on your food 
costs. The family market basket, which 1s the average quantity of 
food products bought each year by a family of three, is now at a record 
$750 rate. This means you are now paying 14 percent more for your 
food than before the Korean War. 
Gardening in any year is one of the most useful and satisfying of 
avocations. It is to be regretted that so many American citizens are 
deprived of the opportunity to learn by experience about the soil and 
the plants from which they derive their daily food. It is good to 
think that millions of us have space on farms or in back yards where 
we can cultivate some vegetables and fruits, good for our bodies, 
and some grass and flowers and shade trees which renew our spirits. 
We all recognize that the home is the very center of the American 
way of life. That it should be attractive outside as well as in, goes 
without saying. And when a garden also makes a contribution in 
wholesome food, it adds to the sense of permanence, security and 
justifiable pride in American citizenship. 
No one can predict with certainty the character of the demand 
and the distribution of fruits and vegetables as they may be affected 
by world needs and transportation difficulties. Gardens and pantries 
are very practical storages of food against emergencies. Modern 
techniques of preservation, including home freezers, low-temperature 
locker storage, pressure cookers, improved home canning instructions 
and equipment, and the storage of several kinds of fresh vegetables 
and fruits in cool basements and earth pits, are good ways to Insure 
against possible shortages. Home gardens are important money 
savers, and the advantages increases with the size of the family.
