What and When to Plant I do not advise the planting of turâ€" nips or corn in small plots. Even | potatoes require considerable space Ibut. they are so essentially the "blue ribbon" vegetable that a garden seems ‘ incomplete without them. Unless you are a professional gardener don‘t waste your time on fancy vegetables such as asparegus, or on strawherrics, or even on tomatoes. There is little 'nulrition in them at best, and while occupying valumable space, require much time and labor. A word about when to plant A safe general plan will be to plant when the earth is firm to the stepâ€"not spongy. The week of May 24th is early enough in most Canadian |oâ€" calities, and even a later date will yield plenty of vegetables in a climas where vegetation matures quick!y. A certain Tommy, relating his exâ€" See that the soil is suitable for cu!â€" tivation and do not take on more than you can successfully look after. _A lot 25 feet by 100 feet will furnish an abundance of fresh vegetables for an average family and this is all any one person otherwise employed is phy=iâ€" cally capable of working. Plant this in standard vegeablesâ€"the fewer the betterâ€"such as potatoes, beans, peas, carrots, beets, parsnips, lettuce and onions. In most towns and cities a cultivaâ€" tion committee exists. It is desirâ€" able that all who can should join such an organization. â€" Failing this, secure a small lot as near your home as posâ€" sible. _ A great responsibility rests upon each one of us with a plot of land at his disposal of helping in this titanic struggle. Let Every One Do Something The home garden offers a special opportunity for women. â€" Their mebâ€" ilization is a war necessity. Jt is true that women are not so strong as mon but they do not need to be in order :o cultivate a garden,. And it has heen proven that in endurance of hardâ€" ships and fatigue wwoman is man‘s equal, Homeâ€"grown vegetables eliminate unnecessary transportation with its attending waste of fuel and labor. It also releases other and muchâ€"needed food for export to the Allies. Anothâ€" er misconception which needs constant correction is that if the war should suddenly cease prices would immediâ€" ately fall. Leading authorities agree that prices will be high for a long period after the war. The cultivation of vacant lots and backyards has risen from a pasiime to a work of national necessity. it is no longer a hobby. Everyone who can is asked to assist this movement to the fullest extent of his or her ability. It may be the only war sor. vice you can render. Do not let this spring pass without seizing the opâ€" portunity to assist a situation that is continually growing more grave. Do not let us continue the principle of doâ€" ing toâ€"day what should have been done a year ago. This has proven to hbe the one serious defect of Democra: y in its struggle against an organized and unscruplous Autocracy.
