consequently every ontario farmer whose land is suitable has ft- iivv for this same reason every householder who has a garden or a piece of vacant land is being urged to grow vcgetablei because the more vegetables that are grown and eaten in ontario the less wheat and meat there will be consumed and that helng ao the ofltario wheat crop- should then be sufficient to feed our own peoples an4iea
