Many forces and different organizations are helping in me garuon campaign, Dut tne unit ed Status ttapArtmoiit of agriculture and the agricultural colleges are car rying the biggest end of the work of organization and instruction. Thore are approximately 3,000,000 additional fam ilies iu citios and towns up to 25,000 population. In the entire United States there are .about 21,000,000 families, uut a portion of these in the large con gested centers of tho population can not have gardens. A home garden for every possible family is the aim. The work is well under way, already hav ing been organized in January of this year a campaign of food production. Caution The department is emphasizing eco namio production of food through these gardens and, therefore, points out tho following important cautions: (a) No home garden should be rais ed excopt by labor of the family for 'Uio uso of ,t ho family; in other words, a home garden with hired labor is not advocated- Tho hired labor should be released to engage in general fanning to add to tho rood stores ot the nation. (b) Garden seed, especially of cer tain important standard crops, such as veaus and peas, must bo conserved and not wasted, (c) OloiMi soil, sunlight, and air are necessary for good gardens. It is a waste of seed and labor to plant on land not suited or where shaded a large part of tho dnv. (d) In small back yard gardens, plant only those crops which produce large quantities ou limited area, sucn as trmg beans, tomatoes, uma beans, beets, or onions. Corn, peas, potatoes and other such crops require more spneo than is needed for the other crops. Organization The United States department of ag riculture, in cooperation with state ag ricultural collages, has oue of the most extcasave organizations ever possess ed by any country to put this cam paign into .oft'ect." The horticulturists employed in the dej-artment of agri culture have charge of the depart ment's cajin'aigu. Tliey represent both the bureau of plant industry and states relations service. In almost ev erv state there is a home garden spe cialist representing the extension ser vice of tho eollege and the department. (in some state two or three men are employed.) In addition to these spe cial men, the department of agricul ture, in cooperation with the state ag ricultural college, has very large force of men and women at work in the field, who will assist in the homo garden can-.paigu as a part of their great r&mpaign for food production There aro at present 2(50 county ag ricultural agents and their assistants, trained in agriculture, who are active ly engaged in the food production eam Ts.ign. including its home gardening phase.

Time is one of the most important essentials and should be conserved. The Automobile is one of the main essentials for it con serves time. It is good business, and essential, that every farmer and business man should own a light car for it conserves time. , ,... The high price of hay and grain makes the price of horse drawn vehicles almost prohibitive. The low priced light automobile is as necessary to the farmer as the plow or binder. It saves time which is money. . The Chevrolet Model Four Ninety is the logical car for nine men out of ten to own, for the reason that the first cost is low (the lowest priced electrically equip ped car in the world) and can be operated at less ex pense than any car built When you own a Chevrolet you conserve time, Money, Hay and Grain, and you are in accord with, the Gov-. ernment's request. Should you spend double the amount of money you would get no more satisfaction or service than you get in the Chevrolet Four Ninety, selling at $765. f. o. b.
