Agricultural possibilities on small
Long Island farms are to be seen in the
windows of the House & Home Company
in West Thirty-fourth street, where
various vegetables grown on small farms
az Northport, Huntington, Great River
and Setauket are on exhibition. There
are hundreds of five acre farms scat
tered through Suffolk county. and tho
vegetable display reflects the strength
of the back to the land movement on
Long Island.

t1tues. cabbage. bcets. red and Spanish
onio's ca%uliiowcrs, corn. apples and
winter pears. and all grown within ifty
miles Of Manhattan. Some Of the prod.
ucts were raised on the much ridiculed
scrub oak lands. Thc success Of farm
ing on that soil shows the beneficial re-
suits of the Long Island Railroads. sue
