It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses." |
|

 To the poet
"June rose by May dew impearled" may have been among the possible best
things in the world; but in these strictly utilitarian times we gardeners
and allotment holders may feel that the sight of our vegetable plot coming
along nicely with a variety of crops is not only a distinctly pleasant sight
but a solid insurance premium against that threatened world food shortage
which has now become a reality. |

The Minister of Food has told us that this will be the tightest of the war
years so far as food supplies are concerned, so readers of this Guide, who
are undoubtedly the "wise virgins" of the parable, will be patting
themselves on the back that they did not rest on their spades, but continued
to "Dig for Victory"––not only victory in the fighting war, but victory in
the economic struggle for existence that will be the aftermath of war.
