 In awarding the first prize of s10 to M. c. Willis, 1927 Elmwool avenue, .he judges said We regard him 100 per cent because in the first part of the season he cultivated deeply and in the second part of the season he cultivated lightly.

 D. B. Bryantt, 3231 Thompson street, postoffice employe, converted an excavation on vacant lot into a flourishing sunken garden which was awarded second prize. The front of the garden, which gradually sloped down, was fragrant mass of nas- turtiums' flanked by varicolored lines of holding sweet peas.

 Pupils Have Gardens.
 Professor DeVigne stopped to show the judges the gardens cultivated by the pupils at Greenwood, Lykins and Hyde Park schools.
 The big tract of ten acres at Tenth street and Elmwood avenue, donated by J. R. Grove. was mass of waving corn and green vegetables of all va rieties. Throughout the patch when the party arrived were men in their shirt sleeves, women and children, either tending to their crops or getting something for the next meal. The in spection of the sixty-five gardens ill this tract, each one 100 feet by 50 feet. proved the hardest task the judges had, for the owner of each tract had worked hard to beat his neighbor.
 "The value of the crop in this tract is about s4,OO0.'' explained MT. Har- vey. The total crop of the other gar dens, MT. Harvey said, was worth about $1,5OO.
 The judges awarded 60 per cent for table value, 20 per cent for diff culty in tending and 20 per cent for rotation of crops.
