Throwing Away Money

Four hundred and eighty-one tons of food
products were condemned and destroyed last
week by the health department of New York
City This represents foodstuff that spoiled in
transit to the metropolis and was ruled unfit for
human consumption
The food products that originally went into
these shipments were of good quality Two caus-
es are assigned for the loss. (D The shippers did
not know how to pack the foodstuffs. (2) Poor
transit management permitted the stuff to decay
On the road.
Both are preventable causes. knowledge OF
the methods of handling perishables would have
provided the right kind of packing. Experience
with transit management would have assured
the correct routing.
r. The wastage of 100000 pounds of food at a
time when products are scarce and prices abnor-
mally high indicates that the middle man is not
wholly to blame for the High Cost of Living.
The general advance in the prices of food
stuffs presents question with ramifications that
involve not only production and distribution, but
also hundreds of subsidiary causes that so far
have escaped scientific scrutiny.
We believe that the high cost of
living in Richmond could be cut down
materially in every family, if it culti-

Experts made survey for vocational educa-
ton in Richmond last year Their findings have
been published. No attempt was made by these
men and women to solve the problem of cheap
living, but they did discover conditions and pre-
scribe remedies that are of great monetary adj
vantage to the citizens of Richmond.
The report tells our citizens to cultivate their
back yards. Enough vegetables can be grown
there to supply the table of every family in the
city The survey found that the average family
of five in Richmond expends about $S5 year for
fresh vegetables. Storekeepers estimated that a
family of five spends between $91.25 and $146
for fresh and canned vegetables a year.
Multiply these amounts by the number of fam
lilies in Richmond, and you will get an idea OF the
amount of money that could be saved or applied
elsewhere in the lapse of year.
Referring to the amount of space available
for gardens, the report makes the astounding
statement that only 10 per cent of all the homes
in the city lack space ION which to make prac-
tical garden"
Then the survey goes on to say:
Thirty per cent have enough land produce all the
vegetables family during the productive season OF
the garden and sixty per have large enough
produce and canned vegetables and berries for
the entire year. and. many have surplus to
sell There is enough ground that all of those
who are without land could enough for family
garden Vacant lots be rented for 81 each, but US
uay are secured free of charge. When remuneration is
necessary the amount small that would have little
effect in decreasing the profits
Moral-If you do not cultivate your back yard
you are throwing away money.
