GARDENS LESSEN COST OF LIVING They Will Return Abundantly In Proportion to Time and Effort Expended. COMMERCIAL PLANTING CUT Big Vegetable Gardeners See No Way of Obtaining Enough Labor te Conduct Usual Operations Make All Plans Early. (Prepared by the United Stat is Depart ment of Agriculture.) One way of reducing the cost of living Is open to every man, woman and child who can get the use of an Idle plot of ground. That way Ilea through the planting and cultivation of a home garden a Thrift garden. War gardens played their part In the great mobilization of resources In wartime Thrift gardens now have their own big Job In helping house holds to feed themselves. The reasons for Thrift gardens are many and various. The same reasons that existed last year and the year be fore still are present. Thrift gardens will produce food where nothing other wise would be produced, they will re duce family food bills, they will return abundantly In proportion to the time and effort devoted to them. But add ed to these reasons is another one pe culiar to this year. Less Commercial Planting. Reports to the United States de partment of agriculture indicate that the plantings by commercial vegetabla gardeners will be materially reduced this year, because the commercial gar deners see no way of obtaining enough labor to conduct their usual opera tions. The commercial gardeners claim that tliey have paid high wages in endeavors to keep up production, but now have reached the point where the returns will not Justify the con tinuance of this expense. At least, that is the report reaching the depart ment of agriculture from seed mer chants, whose operations at this sea- A Typical Home Garden The Sort That Will Bring Health and Profit to the Tillers. son are regarded as a good Indication of what conditions will be a month or two from now. If the reduction of commercial gar dening becomes fact, the obvious re sult will be fewer vegetables and higher prices. The logical remedy lies partly In home gardens. This Is a remedy, moreover, that will work no harm even If the commercial acre age should be up to normal, as any surplus of fresh vegetables may be saved by canning, drying, and other means of conservation and the surplus kept so that It will be useful next fail and winter. Many More Gardens Needed. Thousands of families learned the value of home gardens In wartime. United States department of agricul ture specialists believe It essential that these families Interest be main tained and that other thousands be added to the home-food producers. . "Now Is the time to begin making plans for your 1020 Thrift gardens," these specialists declare. "First, lo cate a piece of suitable land; second, make your plan ; third, get your seeds ; fourth, start work at the earliest pos sible mement." A request to the. United States de partment of agriculture, Washington, D. O., will bring a booklet that will tell how to plan your garden, how much seed to buy, how to get the land In shape for cultivation, how to take every other step In the process of making your back yard or some other vacant lot help feed you. WEEDS ARE VALUABLE ASSET Noxious Plants Cut Down and Turned Under Excellent Fertilizer for Garden. Weeds In the back yard or on that vacant lot next door are an asset to the gardener, for he knows, or should know, that these weeds, cut down and turned under In the garden plot, mean fertilizer for his soil. Turn the rank grass under with the wheel hoe and cultivate ft once to destroy the growth. When manure Is not procur able this green material Is Invaluable.
