Hennigh. Mr. and Mre. Lloyd Leister and To feed Pennsylvania with Penn-| sylvapla crops is the purpose of a | campaign which has been undertaken | by the Food Supply Department of the Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety. Every agricultural district in the State has been asked to produce, In 1918, enough farm, garden, dairy and meat products, poultry, eggs and orchard frult to feed itself, A food survey is now In progress to determine the maximum home- growing capacity of each county. This survey will show which counties are capable of feeding themselves and contributing to the food supply of other neighboring counties. It will also list the counties which are un- able to raise sufficient food for home consumption, By stimulating the home-growing, home-feeding movement, far-reaching conservation of resources will follow. One benefit should be a big saving to communities by the elimigation of costs in the handling and shipping of farm produce and in incidental trans. portation and commissions. With the State curbmarket system in full swing next season distribution of all leeal products will be comparatively easy. Food chairmen have been given an outline of the Committee's plan which may save millions of dollars to econ- sumers and at the same time make the State self-supporting In many food staples. Instructions to the chairmen make this argument: “It ig imperative that the food pro duction of 1918 follow those definite lines which will enable us to help solve the world's food crisis and win the war. This means a large depend. ence upon and use of farm ang garden produce with a saving of meats and staples. It means that each distriet must produce those supplies which it of food may not interfere with the movement of troops and supplies and the cost of food may not include un- misgion charges. “The organization of food produe- complished by guess work.
