Show I "YOUR VICTORY GARDEN IS IMPORTANT" Victory gardens are more important this year than ever before. Most housewives realize this when they attempt to buy canned vegetables with their ration points. The food supply is critical and will continue to be even though the war with Germany ends before summer. Home vegetable production last year accounted for 40 per cent of the total fresh vegetable supplies sup-plies in the United States. When vegetables are produced by home gardeners, transportation and distribution agencies are freed for vital war effort. A victory garden is a direct contribution contri-bution toward bringing the war to an early end. With less sugar available for canning and higher ration point values on meat, butter and other commodities, a victory garden assures the family of an adequate ade-quate food supply. Make plans now to have the biggest and best victory garden you ever had. Consult your County Extension Exten-sion Agent for more infor- matlon. |
