The spirit of '18--The world cry, food--Keep the home garden going

The spirit of '18--The world cry, food--Keep the home garden going

McKee, William, 1901-1988

Even before the United States entered the World War I in 1917, American relief organizations were shipping food overseas. On the home front, it was hoped that Americans would adjust their eating habits in such a way as to conserve food that could then be sent abroad. Americans were told to go meatless and wheatless and to eat more corn and fish. Americans were also encouraged to plant victory gardens and to can fruits and vegetables.
