Hastings, of the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce, and the Southeastern Fair, in discussing the matter of food supply for the South in 1919. "Uncle Sam, through the United States Department of Agriculture," said Mr. Hastings, "estimated the ' alue of the vegetables produced last[ year in home gardens of the UnitedI States at three hundred and fifty all-; lion of dollars. This means that much actually saved by the garden makers from their store bills. "Whenever there is lack of food or money to buy food, no matter whether it be due to world-wide food scarcity, boll weevil damage or other cause, the first worfl 'Uncle Sam' passes out to the sufferer is to make a food big home garden. Why? Because the right kind of a home garden is the QU1CK6SI, CIlCclpt?i5L ctliu aucok ouutw v* food supply there is. "The great trouble here in the South is that our people don't take the heme garden seriously enough, or give it the attention that its importance as a food producer and money-saver justifies. It is mostly made with a 'lick and a promise' and the cultivation and replanting it gets during -the growing season is mostly of the unfulfilled promise kind. ' "With the present and certain-to-becontinued high food prices on the one hand, and the very great uncertainty as to the price that cotton or other cash crops will sell for next fall. It Is a time above all others to play safe. "This is no time to gambit on ootton. None of us can tell within 15 cents a pound what it will tell for next fall. The farmer who makes few or no store debts for food, producing his own and family needs on home acres, is safe regardless of cotton [ prices, and he is the only one who is Bafe. "The right kind of a home garden maintained all through the season and given a square deal in the way of cultivation, Is the greatest storo-biltcut, ter on record.
