' Hundreds Of Gardens Are Expected To Be Planted Throughout Haywood. Next week, from Monday 23rd, and lasting through 28th, haa been designated as "Victory Gar den Week" in Haywood county, by the county farm agents, agri cultural leaders and vocational teachers throughout the county in co-operation with the state and na tional movement. The week will mark the begin ning of a campaign to encourage every family in the county to con tribute to the war effort of the county by producing their own vegetable and fruit supplies. The leaders point out the fact that because of the advancing prices for food, the shortage of containers, and the increasing war demands, more food must be pro duced at home.
