Mr. V►', J Clark, who has been very THE SEAPORTH NEWS An Open Letter— To the Mayor and Councillors of Seaforth Have your citizens organized to increase food production? If they have not yet done so, We, the Organization of Resource 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 desirable. If you already have an unofficial or semi-official organization to stimulate food production. so much the better. That will give yon the basis for a comprehensive mural l ittee. 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 Gee -neral Committee should be formed. representing every impor- tent interest of the community. TK, work should be done by sub- coer hitt' es. The following list is ,ht%;eiently comprehensive for the <ta e:` places. You should adapt it ; .;er awn community. (a) A suy-committee on Finance. The C gen nation of Resources Com- mittee is willing to help local bronc ►es 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 Pack -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, repreeeetatives of organized labour,. rr'er r^ .^I'^.u11fl. etc.. Labour is the key t3 the :'Sed production problem. All boy, girl. part-time and vacation labour s-eild be enlisted. Make sure -that .

Ti is iehttir 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 fibrae are much needed. (f) A sub -committee on Schools, to en- list all school -chit L en of sufficient age to work either in home gardens, community gardens, school gardens, or on farms. (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- gl.nen.tly. 4.
