PINGREE'S POTATO PATCHES
How the Unemployed In Detroit Helped
Themselves Through an Opportunity
10 Till the Soil.

trOlC agricultural cOmmlCCee on Inc
cultivation Of idle lands In the city
limits by the poor and unemployed
shows some interesting results. This
plan of assisting poor people origt-
mated with Mayor III. S. Pingree, and
was first tried in 1894, after much op-
position and ridicule. Its object was
to assist people with families who were
in poor circumstances, "by permitting
and encouraging them to cultivate idle
land lying within or near the city
limits gratuitously offered for that pur-
pose by charitable persons"
The committee cites that there are
in Detroit great number of working
men with large families who are not
able to secure continuous employment
and whose wages are not sufficient to
support their families, and in cOnse.
quence are driven to ask aid from the
organized charities during the whole
or a portion of the winter months. To
assist such persons to be self.depend-
emit, and also such other sble-bOdied
persons who were, for various reasons,
objects of charity, was the purpose of
the plan.
1t is stated that there are lying idle
within the city of Detroit over 5000
acres of land, portions of which, if cul-
tivated in small pieces by the classes
mentioned, would more than suffice to
make them comfortable and independ-
emit of charity. 8.
In 1894 about 430 acres were secured
and psrceled out to 975 families, the
necessary funds-$3, 6OO-to carry out
the plan being raised by subscription.
Although operations did not begin
until the middle of June and the Guilt
Vators had to contend with drought,
crops to the value of from $4,000 to
$4,000 were harvested.
The plan having proved so success
full the common council readily SpprO-
priated s., 900 to carry ont the work in
1895, and the agricultural committee,
headed by Mayor Pingree, was early
In the field. About 455 acres were Sc.
cured, which was staked off into 1,546
parcels, the lots lying in various parts
of the city, principally in those por-
tions where the workers lived. The
committee turned the land over to the
cultivators, ploWed, narrowed and
staked off into parcels of from one
quarter to one-hslf acre each. The
planting was done under the direction
of foremen, with seed largely furnished
by the committee, and two mounted
policemen watched over the small
farms, which were unfenced. Com
psrstively little trespaSsing was re-
ported.
The lots were given out mainly to
such deserving heads of families as
were recommended by the city poor
commission, 1858 of the 1876 appli-
cants being on the commissions books.
1t ia stated by the committee that no
difficulty was experienced in getting
people to take lots, it being even
necessary, for want of sufficient land,
to refuse a number of applicants.
This experience seems to clearly indi-
cate that it is an error to conclude that
the poor and destitute in general will
decline to embrace opportunities to

Besides this, large quantities of other
small vegetables were raised of which
no account was made, and the commit
tee, from thirtySlots which had been
cultivated as a reserve to replace such
cultiVators as might be forced to va
cate their tracts by reason of building
operations, raised considerable quanti-
ties of potatoes and turnips. This lat
Ter product was divided between the
poor commission and such cultiVatOrs
whose crops had turned out poorly.
The committee concludes that the
most conservative estimate Of the re-
turns to the workers would reach q
value of $4,000. But, 1t is contendpd,
If the return amounted to only half this
sum it was we'll worth the sum ex-
pended, "for In every case 1t went to
the support Of our most needy people,
who, by their own labor, provided that
by which perhaps they might other
wise have been obliged to receive from
direct charity"
Following the lead of Detroit, mum.
Der of other cities, during the past
summer, carried out similar projects,
notably New York, Boston, Buffalo,
Omaha, Brooklyn and Minneapolis.
The committee, in conclusion, expresses
the belief that the true way of helping
people is not by direct giving, which
creates paupers, but by giving such
people as are poor and deserving an
opportunity to help themselves. 1t
might have gone further and said that
all any people Eeeded was an opportun-
ity, and these potato patch experiments
are only slight hints of what could be
accomplished by labor through easy
access to the soil. Less than 500 acres
Of idle city land produces $50, 900 worth
of food products. Put to a similar
use the 5000 acres of idle lands In De-
troit would produce values to the
amount of 100000. This is a large
sum, and under the present system Of
land-holding represents pure waste.
The actual loss to the community Is
much greater than this amount, how
ever, as a greater part of this idle land
Is much too valuable to be put to agri-
cultural uses. The great land values,
built up under the present system, act
as check to industry. Many who
might be able to build and employ
labor are now barred by reason Of the
large sum necessary to secure the site.
And what 10 true In Detroit Is true of
every other city,
But this Is large subject, and one l
do not care to enlarge upon at this
time. My only purpose was to give to
the readers of the Journal the results
of most interesting and practical
plan to help the poor, carried forward
by q man who certainly sees something
below the surface of things. Mayor
