"I fertilized with :Homestead Bonne.

Fred Howe Dorchester . Sta., Ont.
seven acres oats this spring. At in,-
terva;s 'in` the field I omitted the fer-
tilizer a drill width. The oats where
the fertilizer was sown,after the first
few days' growth showeld in a mark-
ed degree a more vigorous growth
and aminta:ned this advantage over
the unfertilized portions throughout
the season, ripening a week sooner
and with fuller 'heads of grain."
RIPENING 10 DAYS EARLIER
THOMAS KELLY, Copenhagen, rOuv

"I have used Homestead fertilizer
on both 'corn and -oats, and am well
satis''red';' the corn eared up better

so gave a larger yield both in *aorta

A Vegetable Garden
forEvery Home
f
this year of supreme
ffort Britain and her
rmies must have ampleupplies of food, and
Canada is the great
source upon which they
rely. Everyone with a few
square feet of ground can
contribute to victory by
growing vegetables.
Four Patriotic Reasons
for Growing Vegetables
x. It saves money that you would otherwise spend for
vegetables.
2. It helps to lower the "High cost of living."
3. It helps to enlarge the urgently needed surplus of
produce for export.
4.`Growing your own vegetables saves labor of others
whose effort is needed for other vital war work.
The Department of Agriculture will help you
The Ontario Department of Agriculture appeals to
Horticultural Societies to devote, at least one evening
meeting to the subject of vegetable growing; manu-
facturers, labor unions, lodges, school boards ,a'etc., . are
invited to actively encourage home gardening: ' Let the
slogan for 1917 be, "A vegetable garden for every home."
Organizations are requested to arrange for instructive
talks by practical gardeners on 'the subject of vegetable.
growing. In cases where it is impossible to secure suitable local
speakers, the Department of Agriculture will, on request, send a
suitable man..
The demand for speakers will be great. The number of available
experts being limited, the Department urgently requests'. that
arrangements for meetings be made at once; if local speakers cannot
be secured, send, applications promptly.
The Department suggests the formation of local organizations to
stimulate the work by offering prizes for best vegetable gardens.
Itis prepared to assist in any possible way any organization that
may be conducting a campaign. for vegetable production on vacant
lots. It will do so by sending speakers, or by supplying expert
advice in the field. •
To any one interested, the .Department of Agriculture will send
literature giving instructions about implements necessary and
methods of preparing theaground and cultivating the crop. A plan
of a vegetable garden indicating suitable crops to grow, best
varieties and their arrangement in the garden, will be sent free of
charge to any address.

THERE'S DANGER IN SIGHT—BUT YOU CAN HELP
DO YOU KNOW--
that the rapidly rising price of food stuffs
means that the World's reserve supply is
getting small'?
DO YOU KNOW
that a world-wide famine can only be.
averted by increasing this supply?
Do You KNOW—
that a "'food famine" would be a worse
disaster to the Empire and her Allies than
reverses in the Field ?
You CAN
help thwart Germany's desperate sub-
marine thrust on the high seas.
You CAN—
do this by helping to make every bit of
land in Canada produce—the very last
pound of food stuffs of which it is capable.
AND REMEMBER—
that no man can saythat he has fully done
his part -who having land—be it garden
patch, or farm, or ranch -fails to make it
produce food to its utmost capacity.
