ARDEN BOARD ACANT LOT DRIVE Charles Lathrep Pack, head of the National War Garden Commis- ston, and (at left) P. 8. Ridsdale, secretary and director of the garden WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb, 18.— One of the patriotic organizations! which is doing a vastly important/ work in helping to win the war, is the National War Garden Commis-| ion. It is based on the belief that “food will win the war.” It aims to) warden idea. Cultivate your back yards and the yacant lots and make them work for Unele Sam, in the message which the commiasion sounds to the people in every city, town and hamlet thruout the United States. | Recognizing early in the war that food was the vital factor in the con flict, Charles Lathrop Pack, a wealthy banker and lumberman of Lakewood, N. J., and president of the American Forestry Association, reached the conclusion that the best way to secure the immense amount ot fopd which would be needed for) our people, army and allies, was by | putting to work much the {dle} Jand lying near every kitchen door in the centers of population. Here both the labor and the land were at hand. Farmers were complaining of shortage of labor because many of their sons and helpers were going to the cities. But in the inhabited com- | munities there was no dearth of | “hands” to do the tilling. Largely thru the initiative and the inspiration given to the movernent by the’ National War Garden Com- | mission, it 1s doubtful if there is a city or town in the United States | which is not prepared to help feed spread thru the nation the home| | x———_—____ ——_—___—-%! ] | HOW MUCH CAME FROM | WAR GARDENS The nation-wide food survey | locaged nearly 2,000,000 gardens, | aggregating 1,150,000 | city and town land under culti vation. As these gardens were tilled | intensively, and the products had relatively high value, being | figured in terms of retail prices | which would have been paid for food purchased elsewhere, it is estimated that their yield was valued at $260 000,000, or $17.50 per family. The glass-jar manufacturers sold about 119,000,000 canning jars thin year, and a survey of the household canning In 20 typ’ towns thruout the coun try showed that housewives used but one new jar to over | 3% old jars already on hand On this basis the house ves of the country put up nearly 600,000,000 quart jars of veg: etables and fruits, which is be- Neved to be three times as much acres of otherwise as was ever packed before. om ha ie itself this spring and summer. There were a iarge number of “war gar dens” last season, a total thruout the entire country of something like 3,000,000 with a food productive value of more than $300,000,000. Members of the commission are con. fident that this number will be doubled at least this year.
