mittees for carrying out the same Chair

pointed as follows: Mr. Charles F. Nesbit,
ways and means; DR.. B. r. Galloway, seeds
and fertilizers; Professor l.. c. Corbett,
on securing land and superintendent Miss
Susan b. Sipe, the press.
While the association closes its first sea-
son in debt. it is believed the successful
work of the year justifes its continuance.
Eighty gardens of one-eighth acre each
were cultivated at an expense to the as
ISOLATION of little more than SIS per garden.
The entire expense was borne by the as
ISOLATION last year. but it is hoped as the
work progresses that more of the RESPONSE
blity can be placed on the gardeners them
selves.
The heaviest work. it is stated, falls upon
the ways and means committee. The chair
man, Mr.. Nesbit, 140S New York avenue,
will acknowledge all subscriptions to this
work. Owners of vacant lots, desiring to
aid by allowing the of the ground,
