Victory Garden Work To
Produce Needed Foods
The recent freeze Kai limited pro*
duction of early vegetables in this
section. Rains in east and south
Texas have prevented planting. All
these conditions discourage some
persons and as a result garden spots
may be neglected.
Here are facts which indicate that
food shortages will result unless
gardeners carry on in 1944. 1. Near*
ly 50 per cent of 1944 Commercial
canned vegetables and 70 per cent
of canned fruits have been reserved
lor government use.
2. Less labor is availaBle for com-
mercial growers to produce food it,
ems.
5. Greater food needs of allied
countries, and 4. Home grown food
