NATIONAL SERVICE.
- EVERYONE SHOULD HELP. As the war progresses it becomes more and more evident that it will bo essentia! for every man and woman in the Empire to give some practical help, and tiio sooner this help is properly organised the better. The food production of the Empire (and particularly that of the Brito Isles), both for human consumption and the feeding of stock, is of the ntmostqimportance just now. Upon this may binge the whole outcome of the war. WcM, almost everyone can help id one way by growing something useful. Vegetables, such as Artichokes, Swedes, Carrots, Paignins, Onions, Beet, and the best keeping varieties of Pumpkins and Squashes ai ■ easily grown and if properly stored, will keep right through the winter. By using more of these wo will reduce our cost of living, as we need not use so much meat when the wa.r ends to replace the depleted herds of Europe. Wo should increase our herds in New Zealand so as to he ready for this. , , We cannot offer you the cheapest seeds on the market —we do not try to do so. In buying seeds von should have the host procurable. Wo’have been selling seeds since sixty (1850). When you buy Cooper’s Seeds you buy at the same time the result of nearly sixty years’ experience.. This ia why Cooper’s Seeds ot Success are regarded by the trade, horti in New Zealand and Australia, as the standard of quality. Ask your seedsman or merchant for them and ho. sure tha. you get them.
