GOOD WORK DONE BY
MEMPHIS CLUBWOMEN
Backyard Garden Movement Has Be.
gun Solution of High Cost
of Living.

The back yard garden movement IL
Memphis, Tenn, was started by the ed.
ucation committee of the Nineteenth Con-
fury Club, under its chairman. Dr. Lilliar
w. johnson. Acting under the advice OF
DR.. P. p. ClaNton, the committee raised
$500 by SO subscriptions and employed
an expert horticulturist. They secured
the expert through DR.. Seaman A. Knapp
and began the work under the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The work was begun February !, 1911
Only one school was selected that year
The children were organized into a gar
den club, which met Monday afternoon
after school. The club numbered over
100 and 50 gardens were cultivated.
Besides the instruction given at the
Monday Club. a bulletin was published
each Sunday in one of the leading pa
pers of the city, the Commercial Appeal,
which gave directions for the work Thus
not the club alone but any one interested
in cultivating their back yard had the
benefit of the experts advice.

Made Excellent show.

The gardens fourished and the showing
made by the children of their vegetables
at their June exhibit was excellent.
The records kept by the children
showed that some of them had raised
as much as $50 worth of vegetables on
lots that had been only dump heaps be-
fore.
The Board Of Education became 50
much interested in the work that they
took it over the next year and made the
expert agricultural supervisor 70. the
public schools, and a course in agricul-
tUre was introduced into the high school
AT present twenty-siX of the schools
have the garden work, and great many
Of the vacant lots of the city are being
used by the children.
Last fall four of the graduates of the
Memphis high school went to agricultural
colleges.
Thus have the clubwomen Of Memphis
started forward to the land" move
ment in their city and begun a solution
Of the problem of the high cost Of living.

and Atlantic Commission.
The success of the project depends
on the report the Commission will
make to the next session of the Leg
islature.
Mr., Moore has written to the chair
man and various members of the
Commission asking that the Atlanta
committee be given a hearing. Tues
days meeting was not expected to
develop anything definite regarding
the Improvement. 1t was thought it
would result in a discussion of the
Improvement, in general way, in
order that the members may become
familiar with each others ideas, so
that the intentions of the city and the
Chamber can be presented intelli-
gently to the Commission
Captain Robert NJ. Clayton, City
Chief Of Construction and one of the
members of the committee, has pre-
pared sketches of the track elevations
and new viaducts which will be nee
essary il the Improvement is carried
out.
These sketches will be shown to the
w. and A. Commission when it grants
the hearing. If the Commission looks
with favor upon-the scheme. and sig
miles it's willingness to entertain a
proposition, it is likely general
meeting of those interested will be
called.
The city's committee is composed
of W. A. Wimhish, John w. Grant,
Robert NJ. Clayton, Alderman John S.
