Everyone with. a few square feet of ground, can contribute to victory by growing vegetables. Four Patriotic Reasons for Growing Vegetables i. It saves money that you would otherwise spend far i, ee, vegetables. 2. It helps to lower the "High cost of living." '3. It helps to enlarge the urgently needed surplus of i produce for export. , 4.. Growing your own vegetables saves labor of others . whose effort is needed for other vital war work. The Department of Agriculture will help you The Ontario Department of Agriculture appeals to Horticultural Societies to devote at least one evening meeting to the subject of vegetable growing; manu- facturers, labor unions, lodges, school boards, etc., are invited to actively encourage home gardening. Let the Slogan for 1917 be, "A vegetable garden for every home." Organizations are requested to arrange for instructive talks by practical gardeners on the subject of vegetable growing. In cases where it is impossible to secure suitable local speakers, the Department of Agriculture will, on request, send a Suitable man. The demand for speakers will be great The number of available experts being limited, the Department urgently requests that arrangement' for meetings be made at once; if local speakers cannot be secured, send applications promptly. The Department suggests the formation of local organizations to stimulate the work by offering prizes for best vegetable gardens. It is prepared to assist in any possible way any organization that may be conducting a campaign for vegetable productiou on vacant lots. It will do so by sending speakers, or by supplying expert advice in the field. To any one interested, the Department of Agriculture will send literature giving instructions about implements necessary and methods of preparing the ground and cultivating the crop. A plan of a vegetable garden indicating suitable crops to grow, best varieties and their arrangement in the garden, will be sent free of charge to any address.

Experiments conducted at the Dominion Experimental Station, Keniville, N. 8., with eight lotst of Garnet Chili potatoes securedi from different growers in 191i show a variation in yield of from 36 bushels to 240 bushels per acre, or a difference of 281 bushels per acre in yield when grown under uniforne conditinos. Seed from these oight lots planted In 1916 yielded front 88 bushels to 212 bush els per acr6, a difference of 144 bushels per acre. The respective positions of the different lots were changed very little in the second year, but the lowest yield- ing ones increase somewhat and the highest yield was not so great. Seed from fifteen others of this variety was planted in 196 and the lowest yield obtained was 1E8 bush els and the highest 278 bushels per acre a difference in favor of the best over the ipoorest of 120 bush- els per acre. Ten lots of pure stock of Green Mountain from. different growers ranging from 180% bushels per acre to 313 bushels per acre, a differ- ence of 132% bushels. Seventeen lots of Irish Cobbler ranging' frernt 93 buthe's per acre as the poorest to 235 bushel& the best. a ail- feeenee in favor of the 14est.yit• Id - Peg ts,tirtelieeoi 142 btv011. would show that there may beast great a difference between potat- oes oof the same variety as there, is beween potatoes of different vac ieties, and (that it is wise tio secure stock from farms which have ha&1t. high -yielding crops. 13ecause the Green Mountain has failed in giv- ing a crop on a certain farm ist not proof teat this var'ety will met yield well there; it array have beenik due' to lofty vitality in the seed attack. Such reversionsc in yield nea-y have been due to disease, ar adeerse Emil or climate conditions which affected the crop at soma time, and it anay be better to dise clue' the stock entirely than to try to bring it up to its former -vibe ,ality by selection. .
