Show Farm Leader Urges More M Home Gardens A Victory Garden on every farm is the order of the day in Cache County. Growing fruits and vegetables vege-tables at home will relieve overburdened over-burdened hauling facilities, release more commercial vegetables for fighting men and factory workers, and insure healthy, inexpensive foods for America's farm families, says Alphonzo Christensen, chairman chair-man of the Cache County USDA War Board. "Every pound of fresh or stored vegetables, and every quart of canned garden produce raised on the farm means a saving of farm truck and auto tires, tin and containers con-tainers used for commercial canning, can-ning, and general transportation facilities needed for the war effort," ef-fort," Mr. Christensen said. "Just as important as increasing dairy, hog, and poultry production is the growing of most of the vegetables for home use." Farm families in the county who have not already planted gardens to care for their family needs can still seed most of the important vegetables. Wherever possible, 4-H Clubs and Future Farmers are asked to boost Food for Freedom gardens. Cooperation of every one will be necessary if Utah is to reach its 1942 garden ' goal of 18,100 farm gardens, or if the national na-tional goal of six million farm gardens is to be realized. Smith-Hughes instructors, local club leaders, county Extension Service workers, and other gardeners garden-ers will be glad to give individual assistance in planning late gardens, gar-dens, the committeeman said. "A good farm garden actually will increase a family's income I from 575 to $200 by raising the home supply of vegetables, berries and fruits at home. A supply of fresh, canned and stored vegetables for year-round living is equally important to the war-time health of the family when man power is so important," ' Mr. Christensen further stated. |
