Keep hens this year
GG and poultry prices, the like of which have seldom'
or never been experienced, certainly make it worth
anyone's while to start keeping hens, By doing so
(You have fresh eggs at the most trifling cost. At the same'
time you have the splendid satisfaction of knowing that
you are doing something towards helping Britain! Canada,
and the Allies achieve victory this year..
t
Increased production of food helps not only to Tamil
the high cost of living, but it helps to increase the.
urgently needed surplus of Canada's food for export.i
It saves money otherwise spent for eggs and poultry'
at high prices, and saves the labor of others whose]
effort is needed for more vital war work.
The Ontario Department of Agriculture will give
every possible assistance by affording information about
poultry keeping. Write for free bulletin which tells how
to keep hens (address below).
"A vegetable garden
for every home"
Nothing should be overlooked in this vital year of the
war. The Department earnestly invites everyone to help
increase production by growing vegetables. Even the
smallest plot of ground, when properly cultivated, pro-
duces a surprising amount of vegetables. Experience is
not essential.
On request the Department of Agriculture will send
valuable literature, free of charge, giving complete cliree-.
tions for preparing soil, planting, cultivation, etc. A plan
'of a vegetable gard^n, indicating suitable crop to grow,
best varieties and their arrangement in the garden, will
be sent free to any address.

It is just as important under pres-
ent conditions to have reserves of
food as reserves of cartridges, When
so much is dependent upon a good
crop, the entire community should
concern itself about the .situation
from the beginning of the season.
There are certain common vege-
tables, comprising a large part of
the food supply; such as, potatoes,
beans, onions, etc., which do well in
all parts of the country. They carr:
be grown in a small way, without
machinery, and their production this
year in ample quantities should be•
assured beyond chance or doubt.
