Show "GARDEN SASS." The national war garden commission commis-sion report that $525,000,000 worth of food was produced on back yard lots last year. This means a reduction in the cost of food which the families cultivating these gardens would otherwise have purchased. Not only that, but the vegetables raised in these gardens came to the table frefher and of better bet-ter quality than vegetables purchased at a market or store could possibly have done. Many people who made gardens lat year because the government requested re-quested it found it pleasure enough in the garden work and profit enough in the results to encourage them. in keeping up the garden habit. We welcome the Back-Yard Garden as a permanent national institution. |
