CULTIVATE THE SOIL
HOME AND SCHOOL GARDENS AS
CARRIED ON ELSEWHERE.

An observer of the tendencies Of the
times cannot fail to be impressed with the
strength Of the desire to cultivate the SOIL
This seems to affect all ages and condf-
TONS Men and women, as well as children
who have been accustomed to the tene-
ments and the pavements of the city are
eager to grow things wherever oppor-
tunity offers. The moderately well-to-do
seek places in the country where they may
find by experience the meaning OF seed
time and harvest. The value of open space
in the city for the raising Of flowers and
vegetables Is recognized not alone for the
product, but also for the development Of
character. Gardening is practiced by an
ever-increasing number. The great advan-
tage is that 1t has power to keep those who
engage in 1t sane and vigorous. They come
to share the philosophers satisfaction In
the consciousness that though the garden
is neither long nor wide it is both high and
deep.
Work along the lines of home and school
gardening is coming to be distinction of
certain American cities. In fact. a florist
said recently that with the park systems
cities are now classified according as inter-
est in gardens, Fairgrounds and open spaces
Is promoted by the general public and
made a distinct feature in the municipal
economy.
In Charlotte under the auspices OF the
clubwomen home gardening Is promoted. a
special committee having the Work In
charge Among the list Of donors Of prizes
to be distributed for improved back yaros,
flower beds, school gardens, for artistic
bouquets, cut and arranged from ones own
flower garden, there appear. besides florist
companies and business men In general,
ministers and teachers and practically every
club In the city. such as the Woman's
Cub. Sunshine Club, Monday Musical Cen
fury Club, Home Reading Circle. Contribu-
tors Club and others. In fact 1t appears
to be q general public sentiment. The
newspapers publish card bulletins with
directions for the care of the garden, the
preparation Of soil. how to prepare seed
boxes, attend to flower beds and special
suggestions as to the treatment Of rub
bish, kitchen waste slops wood and coal
ashes, barns, clothes lines. foundations and
lawns. 1t would seem that the public con-
science Of Charlotte would no longer toler-
ate an unsightly spot within the city.
Community Interest.
Other cities throughout the country have
taken hold Of the garden movement with a
general interest which enthusiasts along
the same lines in Washington find matter
of envy. Nsch. they say, has been done
here, but there is no great general commu-
nifty interest in the subject.
Cleveland. Ohio, has done some striking
work in this line. In the seventh annual
report of the Home Gardening Association.

the following:
