LETTER
e l��eve and Councillors of E�e�
Have your citizens organized to increase -food production?
If they have not yet -done so, We, the Organization of Resources Committee,
earnestly ask you to call them together in a Mass Meeting, and lay before them the
necessity of immediate and vigorous efforts—the food situation is critical.
It may astonish you to learn that in 1917 Ontario did not: grow enough wheat
for its own needs. Consequently every Ontario farmer whose land is suitable, haS
been urged to sow _5 acres more spring wheat this year so that Ontario's demand for
wheat shall not be met at the expense of that portion of the Western crop that should
more rightfully be shipped overseas.
For this same reason every householder who has a garden or a piece of
vacant land is being urged to grow vegetables, because the more vegetables that are
grown and eaten in Ontario the less wheat and meat there will be consumed, and, that
being so, the. Ontario wheat crop should then be sufficient to feed our own people,
and leave more Western wheat and other foods available for, export.
By intelligent effort, in the cultivation of his own back garden, or from the
cultivation of 'a nearby piece of land, the average citizen can „grow, this summer,
enough vegetables to support his family through the next winter. And remember,
if food restrictions are enforced next winter, a supply of vegetables in the cellar
will be very'desrable.
If you` already have an unofficial or semi-official organization to stimulate food
production, so much the better. That will give you the basis for a comprehensive
committee.
A plan that has been adopted in many places is here outlined. You should
adapt it to the needs of your own community.
1. A General Colamittee should be
formed, representing every impor-
tant interest,of:the community.
2. The work ,should.• be -done by sub- (e)
committees.': The following list is
sufficiently comprehensive for the
largest places. You should adapt it
to your own community.
(a) A sub -committee on Finance. The
Organization. -sof Resources Com-
mittee is ,willing to help local (f)
branches financially with publicity,
public meetings :and organization.
,(b) A Publicity Committee to place local
problems properly before the people,
supplementing -,the larger work of
the `"province -wide publicity, by
securing pledges, sending out circu-
lar letters, arranging for addresses
in churches, schools, motion -picture
houses, etc., and by supplying local
papers with news items.
A sub -committee on Vacant Lot and
Back -Yard Gardening to include re-
presentatives from horticultural so
cities, school teachers, etc.
(c)
(d) A sub -committee onFarm Labour,
composed of employers of labour,
representatives of organized labour,
war veterans, etc. Labour is the key
to the food production problem. All
boy, girl, part-time and vacation
labour should be enlisted. Make sure
that sufficient labour is ready to meet
demandsany deands mad by your -farm ng
commurr;ity. .This labour should. be"`
(g)
placed on farms locally through the
Agricultural Representatives or the
Government Employment Bureaux.
A Farm Lands sub -committee, com-
posed of groups of men to cultivate
larger tracts of vacant land in the
vicinity of cities, towns and villages.
Flax.` -growing is profitable and suit-
able—flax seed and fibre are much
needed. r,
A su4orlmittee on Schools, to en-
list all school -children of sufficient
age to work either in home gardens,
community gardens, school gardens,
or on farms.
A sub -committee of women on Con-
servation to deal with the problems
of food -saving in the homes; the
more broadly representative it is of
women's activities the better. Exist-
ing women's organizations should
not be interfered with, but since con-
servation is one of the greatest prob-
lems, there should be a women's
committee in each community to
deal with this problem alone.
• An Executive Committee should be
appointed, to include the chairman
of the general committee and the
chairmen of the sub -committees.
This committee should meet fre-
quently. '
• A Secretary to the committee should
be chosen, for his knowledge of the
situation, who would be 'free. to de-
vote considerable time to the work.
CLack of food threatens the, battle -line and we 'must deal.
" .-', t ith the situation.
TO THE INDIVIDUAL . CITIZEN
If you have not yet decided to planta vegetable garden make up your mind to
do so now: You' will not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may
be planted up to June 1st and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat.
For good, practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable
Garden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Garden for
Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture for
the guidance of citizens who will respond to this call for increased production.
