Slogans That Have Counted.

One of the big factors in arousing the people of the United States to the great patriotic service they could perform through war gardening was through the slogans sounded from time to time, writes Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the National War Garden commission, in an article In the Garden Magazine. "Every garden a munition plant,” is the slogan on the design drawn by James Montgomery Flagg. "Can vegetables and fruit and can the kaiser, too,” is the slogan of another striking poster. “Grow food F. O. B. the kitchen door,” is one of the forceful slogans coined and used by the commission. ’"Hohenrakes versus Hohenzollerns” is another of the phrases which has hit the reader between the eyes. "Get into the garden trenches;” "The hoe is the machine gun of the garden;” “Food must follow the flag” are slogans that have done their bit "Keep the home soil turning” is a clever paraphrase of the title of a famous song. Other successful phrases used by the commission are: “Speed up and spade up;” "Tune up the spading fork.”
