A plea to plant mere vegetables to make up for the loss of fruit due to the recent cold wave, was sent out yesterday to the Victory gardeners of the country by the National War Garden Commission. _ “With 'probable losses in fruit for canning, ’ said President Pack of the commission, “Victory gardeners must look ahead to next winter and plant more vegetables so the supply of food for canning may be increased.” The statement also called attention to the opening today in the more Northern states of the Victory garden drive and stated reports to the commission show more acreage is being cultivated by communities ,and business concerns for employes this year than ever before. Dr. and Mrs. J. M. D. Davisdson left today for their home in Macomb, HI., after a visit here with the family of Attorney and Mrs George A. Williams. ' . . _____ . .' . ’
