HOME GARDENS FOR DOMESTIC ECONOMY URGED AMERICANS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 21. Maintenance of home gardens to meet the continued need for food Is being urged by the department . of agriculture in a natfon-wide campaign now well under way. Federal garden experts said today that the interest was as great as last year when the patriotism of war acted as an incentive. Pamphlets and other publications pointing out the necessity of continuing last year's war gardens are being widely spread by the department. Officials of the department today pointed out that the need for home productions of vegetables continues, because, while there are fewer American soldiers overseas there are more hungry civilians now than before In other countries who look to the United States to furnish them with food. Moreover, it was said, the railroads of the country still will be overburdened and the state, county or town that feeds or assists in the fedding of itself will aid greatly in reconstruction

abroe' and readjustment at home. Malignance of the gardens will also py an important part In domestic ATOiomy. A garden this year, the expeAs say, will reduce materially food bill; Insure the freshness and quality of . the vegetable supply, and convert uiuised land and spart time into food. ' - Gardeners who last year were discouraged beta use of failures are being urged to avake another try as it is felt that the !erience gained by the failure should result in a successful garden this yeiir. Reports no far received by the department Indicate that many thousands of home gardeners who went "oV ne 100 BOil" la8t year in the production of vegetables for home tables afcady have started their "victory gardis." The demand for garden land in and around cities Is greater even than last year, the repoitw indicated. Retail Stores Entv&ed In Savings Stumps Drive WASHINGTON, March. 21.
