Speaking of food production. Here’s 
one: The other night at the meeting 
of the Manchester board of selectmen 
the discussion of the advisibility of 
ploughing up Tuck’s Point was under 
way. One of the selectmen thought 
the point was so far away from police 
protection that by the time the har- 
vest was ripe most of the crop would 
have been stolen. “Well, we get the 
increased production anyway,” volun- 
teered Selectman Wheaton.

Some of the amateur gardeners 
who thought they were “farming it” 
when they raised strawberries will 
find out what farming is when they 
start raising potatoes. Eh, Joe?

The other night up in Salem when 
the retail meat and provision men got 
together to discuss conditions’ con- 
fronting them under rising prices, 
the New England representative of 
Libby, McNeill & Libby declared the 
present war was going to be worth 
thousands of dollars to the people of 
New England—after it was over. He 
said too many men were driving 
$6000 automobiles who ought to be 
driving a horse. ‘He urged the men 
to assist in the home gardening pro- 
paganda and warned them of the 
grave danger to New England if 
transportation were interrupted. He 
said 22 million pounds of meat are 
eaten in New England in a_ week. 
Only enough beef is raised a year in 
New England to feed all the people 
for one day and only enough pork to 
last a week. Enough chickens and 
eggs are raised in a year to supply the 
people for 30 days. We would be as 
bad off as England—or worse—if any- 
thing happened to the railroads sup- 
plying us, he said. And that’s bad 
enough! Yes, guess we’d better fol- 
low “Uncle Jim’? Hoare’s example and 
plant a garden.

don’t believe it. After spending four 
hours out in a boat and nearly freez- 
ing last Saturday morning two young 
men from the BREEZE office are of the 
opinion that the only things left in 
Manchester harbor are those “dog- 
gone old grubbies.” Of course you 
can still buy them!
