COMPANY FARMING -WHY NOT?
"is it impossible! for groups of peo-
ple in may of our cities, towns and
even villages, to umldetake some form
of "oompauty`.-farmuing`?" This ques-
tion is being , asked in a circular let-
ter just issued by ;the Or'gamiizatijop
of Resources Committee of Ontario,
Tee idea is to ,,enlarge the activities
from community gardening, schemes' to
grafin : production, on farm lands.
Groups of business( mien and others in
urban centres are ",urged to organize
now in tordrer to take over good vacant
land .mtt the : neighborhood :: and get it
rleady-:;f& cultivation so that it may.
produce a 1919 `crop . Company -farm-
ing operations are now being carried
out with a ;great deal tof success .at
St. Cattarararves;, Sarnia, Windsor, Ow-
en Sound, Weston and Oshawa Cit-
izens of every town are atsk'ed to get
together auud talk! it over.
,SUGAR CONSERVATION.''
The Calnra'da Food Board has asked
[private householders of Canada still
further ' to restrict their consumption
of sugar for pers,oda:1 use to 134
pounds per month per person, and to
use a greater proportion otf brown
sugar, The Board also warns against
hoarding, as unfair, unnecessary and
contrary to the law.
The Cuban crop, of sugar has fallen
Mshort by 300i000 toms of the previous
estimates ; the Amterican sugar beet
crop has also Droved •disappointing as
has the Louisiana cane crop. The re-
cent German drive was a further cause
o!: sugar shortage, as a large beet
acreage was civerrunand many sugar.•
1aclo -ie',-destroyed,. Thousands of
tons of sugar, have been sunk, by sub-
marines including a 13,000 ton cargo
recently host -off the. Atlantic Coast.
Coanse!rvaition of .sugar is :imperative,
There is sugar in Canada ,for every-
body in moderation, but none for ex-
travagant use, far wasteful -use or for
illegal hoarding",•
