productios if they have not yet done so wc tile ornitniation of resources committee earnestly ask you to call them together in a mas mcctinff and lay before them the necessity of immediate and vigorouw efforts 4he 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 ho that ontarios 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 thd 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 growt 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 aery desirable if you already have an unofficial or semiofficial organization to stimulate food production so much the better that will give you the basis for a comprehensive committee a plan that has been adopted in many places is here outlined von should e f te adapt it to the needs of your own community 1 a general committee should be formed representing every impor tant interest of the community 2 the work should be done by sub committees the following list is sufficiently comprehensive for the largest places you should adapt ii to your own community a a subcommittee on finance tho organization of resources com mittee is willing to help local branches 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 provincewide publicity by securing pledges sending out circu lar letters arranging for addresses in churches schools motionpicture houses etc and by supplying local papers with news items c a subcommittee on vacant lot and backyard gardening to include re presentatives from horticultural so- cities school tenchers etc d a subcommittee on farm labour composed of employers of labour representatives of organized labour war veterans etc labour ia the key to the food production problem ah boy girl parttime and vacation labour should be enlisted make sure that sufficient labour is ready to meet any demands made by your farming community this labour should be 3 4 placed on farms locally through the agricultural representatives or the government employment btnreaux a farm lands subcommittee 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 fibre are much needed a subcommitteo on schools to en list all schoolchildren of sufficient age to work either in home gardens community gardens school gardens or on farms a subcommittee of women on con servation to deal with the problems of foodsaving in the homes the more broadly representative it is of womens activities the better exist ing womens organizations should not be interfered with but since con servation is one of the greatest prob lems there should be a womens committee in each community to deal with this problem alone an executive committee should be appointed to include the chairman of the general committee and the chairmen of the subcommitfees this committee should meet fre quently a secretary to the committee should be chosen for bis knowledge of the situation who would be free to de vote considerable time to the work c lack of food threatens the battle- line and we mast deal with the situation j to the indrvtdual citizen if you have not yet decided to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to do so now you will not regret it there is sth lots of time potatoes and beans may be planted up to june 1st and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat for good practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a
