Stevenson, Director National Home Gardeners' Association Editor's Note: This column is to be conducted continuously during the gar- dening season as an aid to amateur gardeners. The "hints" and careful in- structions to be found in these articles are based upon expert investigation of the particular needs of the home gard- ener. If you have a garden you will want to be a constant reader of the "Hints for the Garden' column. Refer it to your neighbor gardener. THE HOME GARDEN Permanent Feature in every Family) The question of home gardening does not concern a few, it concerns the large majority of the people of the United States. During the year 1918 there was more than a half a bil- lion dollars worth of food produced in home gardens in this country. In and around Chicago alone there are morg than a quarter of a million home gardeners. These people are home food producers and are anxious to get all the food they can from their ground with the least expenditure of money, time, labor and space. © The need for producing more food, particularly the fresh fruits and veg- etables, which can be grown in all home gardens is greater now than ever before. Many good farms in the State of Illinois and all over the country are being abandoned. This decreases food production, but the de- mand for food steadily increases as our population increases, not to men- tion the increased demands for food made upon us by Europe. Most people have taken up gard- ening as a recreation after working hours, and have not the time to make ® study of it. What they need and want is concise, practical and up to date information that will make their work in the garden bring forth the greatest return. This general need of the people has led to the formation of the National Home Gardeners' association. The purpose of the association is to show people how they can raise fruits and vegetables profitably in their own yards and make their sur- roundings attractive. The plan of work of the association is, 1. To issue a monthly publication on home gard- ending which will contain the most (The REMOVAL SALE Big redtction in all furniture on hand before mov- ing to our new Fireproof Warehouse + Wilmef Phones: Bineler i omy fonts -- URN SEE IT TODAY The HAYNES 50 JANS-LAMKE MOTOR CO. 1013-1017 Davis St. Phones: Evanston 4250--6020 FRANKLIN Sales and Service The car everyone would like to own Gage Motor Sales Co.

'This publication will be the means of communication of the members with the organization. 2. To offer individual help by answering questions of members by mail. 3. To furnish free plans to modest home owners on the laying out of the yard. 4. To furnish the latest and best methods of conserving food produced in the garden. This complete garden service, in- cluding the monthly publication, is|j offered to all for one dollar a year. It is not always the lack of ex- perience which makes gardeners un- successful. Experienced gardeners who lack the proper information make repeated failures. A case. in point is thai of an experienced mark- et gardener of 30 years standing who lost his entire crop of potatoes be- cause He did not understand how or when to spray them for the blight. The asscciation will help all garden- ers to avoid such unnecessary losses. Our aim is to keep people well in- formed and abreast of the times on the subject of gardening. The association has the services of many of the foremost leaders in gard- ening in this country. Their years of observation and experience is made available in a practical form so that everybody can benefit from it. This is a civic crganization, operat- ed not for profit. Its entire income goes to promote its work. The Weekly Talk will have in this column weekly articles on gard- ening furnished by the National Home Gardeners' association, 306 South HAYNES MODEL 50--$2095 EVANSTON JANS-LAMKE MOTOR CO. 1013-1017 Davis St. Phones: Evanston 4250--6020 North Shore Baths NORTH SHORE HOTEL BUILDING Reducing Treatments a Specialty PHONE EVANSTON 6424 Automobile Owners A complete set of plans with work sheet with each lumber order for a private garage.
