City Lot Farming.
From the Portland (Ore.) Jou

From the Portland (Ore.) Journal
Several large American cities have
adopted to a considerable extent the
plan of city lot farming brought into
prominence years ago by the late May
or Pingree OF Detroit. This is a good
method OF helping people to help
themselves, to do useful work and be-
come self-sustaining and more indie
pendent. Philadelphia is one Of the
cities where this plan has been carried
out under an organization called the
Vacant Lots Cultivation Association. It
gets consent OF as many vacant lot
owners as possible to use the ground,
free of rent, and turns them over to
needy families. requiring pay, when it
can be earned, only for seed and uten-
sile furnished. This work not only
benefits many poor people. but in most
cases really improves the land used,
and makes 1t more valuable. Barren
wastes or dumping grounds for nouous
refuse have become well titled, agreea-
BILE potato patches or. gardens. These
are cared for In many cases by women
and children. or some kinds of cripples
and the produce is nearly clear gain.

are already afoot here to make the

outlined by members of the Arctic

Englishman, whose recent explora.
lions in the antartic, during which he
succeeded in pushing nearer to the
south pole than had any previous ex-
plorer, made him a figure of world
wide prominence.
Members of the Arctic club hope
that President Taft may himself be
present as the nations representative
to welcome DR.. Cook.
Such an honor would be no more
than fitting" one of them declared to-
day. in view of the fact that the ex-
plorer has placed the Stars and
Stripes on the apex of the world and
added perhaps $4,000 square miles to
the nations territory.
Among the explorers who are ex-
pected to take prominent part in the
welcome to DR.. Cook are the Duke
Of the Abruzzi, DR.. Fritjof Nansen,
Captain Road Amundsen, General A.
w. Greedy, Rear Admiral George Mel
vile. Anthony Fiala of this city and
Captain Joseph E. Bernier.
No Date Of Arrival.
No definite date has vet been set
for DR.. Cooks arrival here. Captain
Bradley S. Osbon, secretary of the
Arctic club, said tonight that the ex-
plorer is not expected for several
weeks.
He is due in Copenhagen in three
days." says Captain Osbon, and II
he came straight home would arrive

TENDER. but his friends believe that
he may make several stops on the way
home.
For one thing, the geographers and
scientists of Copenhagen will tender
him welcome. He may go to Chris
tiania to meet Captain Amundsen, the
discoverer Of the northwest passage:
It is likely that he will visit Belgium
where he has been decorated for his
to science and it is scarcely
conceivable that the British geograph-
cal societies would allow him to pass
hem by on his way home without an
invitation to London"
