MUNITIONS.

To the Editor. Sir,—ln jour column under "Labor and Arms" appears the following:—"The soldiers are optimistic to a man and declare that once the lad 3 in the shops realise the need they will work until they drop so that we shall not go short of munitions." Munitions does not only mean ammunition, but food also. Cannot a committee be formed wherever there is a schol and cannot some piece of church ground, gravel reserve or other waste land be brought into cultivation producing carrots, pumpkins, potatoes or something that can be used for food? And cannot someone in each locality get the workers who have a weekly halfholiday to forego it by giving their kbor in cultivating It? The farmers won't strike, because it might result in overproduction, and result in lower prices for their produce. This suggestion, I think, could be adopted, and would only be a man's part that might go some way to equal the help that our mothers, wives and sisters are so splendidly working for, viz., providing munitions.—l am, etc., CHAS.
