GARDENING TO BECOME
VERY POPULAR VOCATION
There is a determined effort in the i
states to utilize all vacant city prop-'
erty for gardens and the movement is!
universal. The shortago of all food-,
stuffs, especially wheat, makes the i
matter of furnishing supplies to the j
allies and the people of this country a :
cerious one. All Europe, neutral as |
well as warring countries, has been |
placed upon food rations to eke out
supplies until the new crop is harvest
ed. This year there will be practically I
no wheat carried over and the govern
ment's estimate upon the winter wheat ,
; crop forecasts a yield of only 430,000,
! 000 bushels as against 804,000,000 car
ried over from the 1915 and raised last j
year. This spring’s crop must neces-!
sarily be much greater than last in
order to supply the export demand and
home consumption. It is a case of
emergency and other crops must be
grown to meet the deficiency. I
The governor of Iowa has called for
I enlistment of boys from 13 to 18 to I
work the city and town gardens and :
other states are also urging the people '
to cultivate all vacant ground.
The National City Bank of New
York, the largest bank in the United ;
States, has sent out a bulletin letter j
to all of its correspondents urging the ;
necessity of prompt and concentrated
action iii the garden movement. Many
of the banks are arranging for garden
plots for their clerks and the large in
dustrial employers are doing likewise.
An organized effort along this line will
do a vast amount of good and the re
sult will do much to help the food situ
ation.
