Some oue has eet!znated that Cana-
dian war gardens last year added to
the wealth of the state upwards of
$30,00(1,000. American gardens aro
credited with producing food last year,
worth, in the aggregate, $350,000,000.

the soil. The Seute have a saying
that if you are good to the soil the

The cultivation of vacant lots and
backyards has `risen from a pastime
to a work of national neeessay, It
is no longer a hobby. Everyone who

not let us continue the principle of do-

a year ago. This has proven to be
the one serious defect of Democracy in
its struggle against an organized and
unscruplous Autocracy.
Failure to Feed the Soldiers
Too marry people in this land of
comparative plenty assume that we
cannot starve, forgetting that just as
grave a tragedy can happen if we fall
to feed the soldiers at the front.
Home-grown vegetables eliminate
unnecessary transportation with its
attending waste of fuel and labor. It
also releases other and much-needed
food for export to the Allies. Anoth-
er misconception which needs constant
correction is that if the war should
suddenly cease prices would immedi-
ately fall, Leading authorities agree
that prices will be high for a long
period after the war,

Let .Every One Do Something
The home garden offers a special
opportunity for women. Their mob-
ilization is a war necessity. It is true
that women are not so strong as men
but they do not need to be in order to
cultivate a garden. And it has been
proven that in endurance of hard-
ships and fatigue woman is man's
equal.
See that a oil i suitable the soil s su for cul-
tivation and do not take on more than
you can successfully loop after. A
lot 25 feet by 100 feet will furnish an
abundance of fresh vegetables for an
average family and this is all any one
person otherwise employed is physi-
cally capable of working. Plant this
abl —the fewer the
in standard yoga es
bettor—such as potatoes, beans, peas,
carrots, beets, parsnips, lettuce and
onions.
What and When to Plant
I do not advise the planting of tur-
nips or corn in small plots. Even
potatoes require considerable space
vs but they are so essentially the "blue
_.. ribbon" vegetable that a garden seems
incomplete without them. Unless you
are a professional gardener don't
waste your time on fancy vegetables
such as asparagus, or on strawberries,
or even on tomatoes. There is little
nutrition in them at best, and while
occupying valuable space, require
much time and labor.
A word about when to plant. A
safe general plan will be to plant
when the earth is firm to the step—not
spongy. The week of May 24th is
early enough in most Canadian lo-
calities, and even a later date will
yield plenty of vegetables in a climate
where vegetation matures quickly.
Who is the Waster?
My heart goes out in strong WM-
pathy toward the men and women who
strive earnestly to do the best with
their opportunities and I pity from the
bottom of my heart those who, though
cluing their best, are nagged all the
time. Also from the bottom of my
heart I despise the man, who out of
abundance refuses to do that which
will brighten tho life of the mother
of his cleilclren, the woman he promis-
ed to love and cherish.
A constant cry has gone over our
laud ag to woman's extravagance, Is
it woman's extravagance orifi it men's
contrariness? I saev meat, bread and
some good fruit that with a little care
could have been used, go into a neigh-
bor's garbage can for her chickens.
"My husband won't eat fixed -over
dishes," she said.
Who was the extravagant one in,
this home'?
It is not more wornan's duty to be
saving than it is man's duty to hold
up her hands while she saves. Upon
the women of our land are going to
fall the duty and the burden of this
terrible war, Upon the men should
fall the work of seeing that she has
what she needs to help her meet duty
and burden. In this way only can we
make higher and better homes,
