LOCAL CITIZENS URGED to GIVE TOVR THE RED CROSS! help is NEEDED, TO-- v . AGAIN PLANT VICTORY GARDENS Meeting Planned To Give Details of Project "Patriotism alone should compel everyone to make an effort to produce their own food and victory gardens, was a statement made this week by Odeal C. Kirk and C. L. Bello, members of a committee from the Magna Lions Club, sponsors and advocates of local victory gardens. The two men further stated: The question often comes up the value of these small garden plots. Many people state that these plots are mostly a waste of seed and effort, and that the of money spent for fresh vegetables at .the market is much less that that spent for seed, and so on to produce the vegetables." No matter what the cost of home food i production, the fact that the food situation is critical justeffort on the ifies an part of every civilian to produce his own vegetable supply. A meeting will be held relative to the Victory Gardens for local people, announces Arvil Stark, Salt Lake County Chair-ma- It may be true that the amount of food produced in any single small garden is not large, but when these are totaled for the 181 million gardens in the United States last year, the quantities are stupendous. Over eight million tons of vegetables were produced in victory gardens last year. The estimated value of this produce was over one billion dollars, and there is no way of estimating the value on a ration point basis, but it is sure that point values on canned vegetables would have been almost doubled had no victory gardens been planned last year. The amount of this produce and staggers the imagination, would fill a train of boxcars that would reach from New York City to San Francisco. Forty-tw- o per eent of all the fresh vegetables produced in the United States came from victory gardens. In addition to the economic value and the patriotic contributions from victory gardens, they have a definite stimulating and health gardener- - himself.
