Excerpt
Every family in the United States with a yard can help solve the world problem of food. Vacant lots, too, can be used. Even the smallest kind of a garden is a help.
The labor situation is such that many market gardeners will be compelled to cut down their production the coming season and there may be a scarcity of vegetables in many markets unless the office man, the clerk, the mechanic, and persons in all walks of life do something toward production of foods.
It is surprising how large a part of the living for the family can be secured from a garden. A plot of ground 20 feet in width and 50 feet in length will produce all the tomatoes, snap beans, pole beans, beets, onions, cabbage, lettuce, and radishes required by a family of five. Double the size of this plot and you can also grow potatoes and several other crops.
The family can save money. The food will be better than food bought at grocery stores, for many vegetables can be had at their best only when grown at home and eaten absolutely fresh.
