In towns and citiel; vegetable gardens are being stressed. Food products of all kinds are very liable to be rationed and a quantity of vegetables in your cellar next year may help your food .problems consider- ably. For any family who wishes to put in vegetables but has • not en- ough ground to do so the Clinton Lions Club will supply plott near the town at a very low cost -contact either Lion Fred Ford or Lion Dick Jacob. Feeding of Hens and Pigs Consider the very important pro- blem of feeding hens and pigs in war- time, especiallyhens, with Canada's commitments for export of eggs, and meat rationing, the, egg supply will not start to meet demands. Waste from the average kitchen will go a long way in feeding a few hens and roosters The roosters and eggs will supply your neat rations and certainly help the food problem.
