A Vegetable Garden
for Ev$71.37 lome
N this year of supreme
effort Britain and her
armies must have ample
supplies of food, and
Canada is the great
source upon which they
rely. 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.

TELEPHONE LISTNER3 BEWARE
Listening to telephone con.ver-
sations on party lines is going to
be an unprofitable amusement in
the future. Hon. L B. Lucas in-
troduced in the Legislature, on
1Tueeday last amendments to the
Ontario Telephone Act that will
put a penalty upon such offenses.
The attorney -general etated that
for the present the penalty would:
be placed upon those who listened
to conversation not intended for
them and repeated it. The pro-
vision is also made to cover tel-
ephone operators who repeat
things heard over th.e,E line. The
bal introduced provides for an inn -
portant arrangement between Do-
nein'on and provinae in respect to
telephone connections.

IMPORTANCE OF SECURING
VIGOROUS POTATO SEED STOCK
(Experiehental Farm Note.)
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 -

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. .
