So says A. E. Schtlletter, Clemson’s extension horticulturist, citing the ap peal made last week by Resident Roosevelt for more gardens and ample plantings. President Roosevelt sound ed an alarm that the eesentM foods might not be produced this ypar for civilian and military needs. Mr. Schilletter calls attention to the fact that truck farming activitirs have been so delayed by the unfavorable situation that there may be a real shortage of commercial vegetable crops. ’That would mean greater need for those who can do so to produce their own vegetables in home gardens. It certainly seems a case of better be safe than sorry—and hungry for fresh vegetables.

It is immaculate in cleanliness with Ua waxed floors, clean, walls and attractive furnishings and is lighted with fluorescent lamps; It is to be hoped that OMny people will take advantage of the open house program for Sunday and visit the Center.
