YOU can help make sure there's enough food to hasten our Victory . . . and enough to keep your own family well fed. Here's how: 1. PRODUCE FOOD, where and when you can. Farmers are urged to meet farm goals. City fami lies are urged to plan a bigger Victory Garden, to help out cn a farm or in a food process ing plant if possible. 2. CONSERVE FOOD.
