aite contribution to the war er

laskan who becomes garden
luscious will also be doing his
Dcletbook a service since it is
toost inevitable that the price

L. T. Oldroyd, Director of the
itension Service of the Univer

irden tract 100 by 100 feet will
ippiy vegetables for use during
tsummer, for canning purposes

Inuy of 5 or 6 people. A goodly
■pply of vegetables may be ex

Iri if it is well cared for and
eperly fertilized.
Ifeeause potatoes are so bu’ky

shtal increase of tenfold. Local
produced seed potatoes will
rc the most satisfactory results

made throughout Alaska

*reare plenty of seed potatoes
Rilable to meet any demands.
Mr. Oldroyd suggests thu^
vegetables should be pre
ved by canning during the
tamer and stored away for
inter use. Such vegetables as
itahagas, cabbage, parsnips,
arots, beets and turnips can be
tptmost of the winter if stored
