ticularly with food problems. 
This sub-committee on Food Pro-

staple food-stuffs by farmers, and to 
assist in locating and making available 
supplies of fertilizer, seed, labor, ete. 
II. To encourage the output from 
boys’ and girls’ gardens: to increase 
their interest in corn and_ potato 
growing, and in poultry and swine 
raising. 
III. To encourage the planting of 
gardens by wage-earners, where con- 
ditions are favorable. 
IV. To encourage the saving of 
surplus garden products and fruits by 
home-canning. To encourage more 
economical purchase of food-stuffs, 
and to urge the prevention of waste. 
t V. To encourage better distribu-

of all organizations which can under- 
take definite portions of the work.

ments as possible. Plow ahead as a 
steamer does, rough or smooth, rain 
or shine, to carry your cargo, make 
your port, is the point—Babcock.
