In Washington, the Peoples Gardens
Association, in conjunction with several
charitable organizations, is working out
similar plan to that of the Philadelphia
society. There will be many more gar
dens this spring and summer than last,
and before many seasons we may ex-
pect to see hundreds of large vacant lots
stripped of their weeds and rubbish and
lourishing under the care of some family
or families of city truck gardeners.

How Washington Is Following Lead of
Other Cities in Transforming Its
Unsiehtly Barren Grounds Into
Pretty Little Farms.

Truck farming in the heart of big
city. Sounds pafadoxical, doesn't it? And
yet the pictures accompanying this story
were taken over in a populous quarter
of northeast Washington and illustrate
the successful operation of one of a
number of vegetable gardens being
grown on vacant city lots under the
auspices of the Peoples Gardens Asso-
citation and other bodies organized for
the betterment of our citizens.
These photographs show portions of the
Rosedale gardens on Kraemer street
northeast, grown under the tender care
of ]. K Headings and family. These
gardens captured the first prize offered
by the Peoples Gardens Association last
summer for the best results obtained
from farming vacant lots throughout
the city. There are number of other
gardens of similar nature in Washing
ton and a general movement is under
way to utilize almost all of the vacant
lots in the more crowded sections of the
city for this purpose.
Firemen Were Pioneers.
The Washington pioneers in this form
of truck gardening were the firemen of
1ruck company NO b, on Park ROAD, De-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets.
For five years these firemen gardeners
have been cultivating the strip of land
adjoining their engine house. Their gar
den is not quite one half acre in size.
To say that the neighbors are always
glad when Capt. Warren and his men
have started trucking in the spring
would be putting it mild. 1t is the pride
of Columbia Heights, as has been ex-
pressed in the reports of the Citizens
Association.
Even now the annual spring fever of
desire to get out and commune with
nature has seized these firemen farmers.
Seed catalogues have been pored over
and plans for the varieties of vegetables
to be grown have been made. The bene-
diets of the company are the gardeners,
and the bachelors look on with envy at
their settled mates who reap the reward
of their labor. This farm has enabled
the men to reduce their living expenses
and combat the soaring prices. In the
spring, tender and juicy radishes. mild

House Not Always . Home.
1T seems to me as II we housekeepers
were in search OF a new star. But see
by your announcement that your alliance
exists because you believe that the prob
lens of the home demand serious and
dignified study, IN which attitude of mind
1 feel sure we are all at one. But first
Of all want to express my feeling that
in our struggle for better housekeeping
we must not overlook the fundamental
matter of housekeeping. Any ordinarily
intelligent woman can run a house-that
is, II she puts her mind upon it. Many
and many a woman to-day Is failing to
make home. Sidney Lanier said that
love, music, and a wood fire would make
home anywhere He might have added
with st. Paul, and the greatest Of these
is love- A house to be conducted as a
business must be run by rule. A home
must make exceptions to the rule, and
we who learn the rules and stumble over
the exceptions, whatever we may do
with our houses, are going to fail in
making homes. A perfect home has as
necessary constituents God, who is love;
father and mother, who are, or shoutc
be, God-ideas incarnate; little children,
and then cleanliness, order, kindness,
and harmony. Everything else may go;
II these remain there remains the deep
harbor Of home, safe anchorage for
shipping. great and small.
Need Trained Housekeepers.
what we need Is not only trained
servants; we need much more-level-
beaded women. capable of doing with
their own hands the tasks they require
Of others, that they may be teachers,
guides, directors in their own homes.
This is the real secret of the housekeep-
ing conducted on business principles.
The man at the head of business has
very often gone all through the details
Of that calling in order to be himself the
best Of all his workmen. Very few in
deed are the housekeepers who are will
ing. as the men are willing, to learn
their business from the ground up; who
can make a fire, bake bread, do laundry
work. sweep a room properly. even wash
dishes thoroughly and well You do not

spring onions, and appetizing brittle let
tuce are gathered from the patch. Later
in the season. cabbage, caulif1ower. beans.
tomatoes, and corn with other vegetables
come in season. These not only furnish
the families of the men with food. but
also provide extra spending money.
1t is perhaps one of the greatest pleas
ures for the gardeners to gather to-
gether in the fall and receive their share
of the melon that is to be cut by
Capt Warren. their treasurer. Some of
the dividends distributed were of no
small amount. One spring, parsley and
early onions were agreed upon as the first
crop and the sum netted from the sales
amounted to $50. OF course, there re-
mained a second crop which should
have retyned an equal amount Capt.
Warren said that doubtless If all the
vegetables raised on the plot were con-
verted into cash, at least $500 to s400 could
be made. In addition to the amount sold,
a quantity of vegetables is generously
given to friends and neighbors.
During the five years that the fremen
of Truck No. have labored on their
garden, of less than one-half of an acre,
the District >of Columbia has had demon
strated to it in a practical manner an
important lesson in economics, the utili-
Zation of waste land. AS yet, it seems
