Title	Home Canning and Drying of Vegetables and Fruits Pamphlet
Subject	Plants and Animals Daily Life Agriculture Military Ohio World War I Canning and preserving
Place	Washington (District of Columbia) Ohio
Description	This pamphlet was distributed by the National War Garden Commission to encourage Americans to grow and preserve their own food during World War I. The pamphlet includes information on canning methods for vegetables and fruits and advice on drying and freezing foods. Inside the back cover is a cartoon with the caption, "Uncle Sam expects every war garden to do its duty." The pamphlet is 15 pages and measures 9" x 6" (22.86 x 15.24 cm). Many Americans planted gardens during World War I (1914-1918) to supplement the food they had available and support the war effort. Charles Lathrop Pack, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, headed the National War Garden Commission and urged all Americans to plant gardens. At the end of the war, the gardens came to be called "victory gardens." During the Second World War (1941-1945), Americans again planted "victory gardens." The gardens were promoted widely by the government and industry, both to support the war effort and due to food shortages and rationing.
