HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton New Era, 1918-4-25, Page 5l T H E CLINTON NEW ERA,. Ij n Open fetter --- o the Mayor and Council of Clinton Rave 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 eft orts--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 desirable. 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 Committee should be formed, representing every impor- tant interest of the community. 2. The work should be done by sub- committees. The following list is sufficiently comprehensive for the largest places. You should adapt it to your own community. (a) A sub -committee on yinance. The Organization of Resources Com- mittee is willing to` help local 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. (c) A sub -committee on Vacant Lot and Back -Yard Gardening to include re- presentatives from horticultural so - cities, school teachers', etc. (d) A sub -committee on Farm 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 sufllicient labour is ready to meet any demands made by your farming community. This labour should be placed on farms locally through the Agricultural Representatives or the Government Employment Bureaux. (e) 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. (f) ,A sub -committee on Schools, to en- list all school -children of sufficient age to work either in home gardens, community gardens, school gardens, or on farIns. (g) 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. h TO THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN If you have not yet decided to plant a 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 ist 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. Send for copy now.

The poen was printed in the Pentiction Herald. published in Pentiction, B. C., the home town of the young soldier:— Let them that know not say he hath not rear. Let them commend his valor, and opine That hero's spirit is a standfast gear, Inflexible to terrors of the line. Let them examine each heroic act; Exclaim, "such deeds canot with fear be wrought." No man fears not: 1 know it for a fact For fear and death are human nature's lot. There was a trench, —E'er Plummer tired the Hun From Wytch eate,— OI' goodly stench.
