Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 84, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 April 1917 — Are You the Owner of A Lot Not Working? [ARTICLE]

Are You the Owner of A Lot Not Working?

Rensselaer is doing her share towards the production of largely increased yield of foodstuffs that can be raised in gardens. There are comparatively few lots here that are not being plowed and planted, and scarcely any gardens. But in this extremity when new and higher prices are quoted nearly every day for the things people must eat to live, there should not be a single vacant lot in the city that is not beinr made to add to the yield. There are still some lots in the city that have not been worked and we suggest the owners of these lots, if they do not intend planting them in vegetables themselves, give other persons a chance. We will very gladly assist in the matter by telling our readers where these lots may be secured if the owners will report to the office their willingness to lease them, either for cash or on the shares. Several have already made inquiries at this office asking where they can find lots to put out gardens. If you have a lot and will rent it for gardening purposes report the fact to this office. ‘
