HOME-GROWING OF VEGETABLES
The Price Tribunal, in its report on the inquiry into the high prices of vegetables says that it cannot urge too strongly that people should be encouraged to grow their own vegetables. "It seems clear," the tribunal states, "that such action on the part of householders generally would not injure the market gardeners, and as a war measure, the tribunal considers that the Government should take steps through the Press and the radio to urge people to plant to the limits of the capacity of their home gardens all kinds of vegetables for their own use. Such propaganda should be supplemented by appropriate instruction on the growing of vegetables by the officers of the Department of Agriculture. In this connection the tribunal understands that good work is being done by and through the Department of Agriculture, with a view to encouraging the production within New Zealand of the best classes of suitable vegetables."
