GARDENS ARE JUDGED
FOR SECOND time.
Most of the Contestants Are Keeping
Up Their Enthusiasm With
Good Results.

of judges. The children are keep
ing up their enthusiasm for garden
ing, and very few have deliberately
neglected the care of the plot OF
ground allotted them. Many of the
older scout boys are making cOnsid-
cradle money from the sale of their
garden produce, and numberless fam
lilies are enjoying fresh vegetables as
result of the children's efforts.
There are very few places where any
ground has been wasted, and all the
foodstuffs raised have been put to
excellent use.
Lettuce and radishes and a few
other very early vegetables have al
ready been cleared from several
gardens, and the work of replanting
has been begun. Cabbage, late to-
matoes and turnips are some of the
variety of later vegetables being put
in for a second crop.
A prize Is in store for the boy or
girl who brings to F. r. Mason &
Sons hardware store the first quart
of green peas, and it will be but a
very short time now before the earli-
est variety will be ready for table
use. The prize offered is one that
any gardener would be proud to own,
and consists of hoe, a rake and q
spading fork. No doubt the young
sters will fairly sit and wait for the
little green pods to fill out, in order
to be s.ie first on the spot with a
sample of the fruit of their labors.
The judges in the contest are sat
isfied that the garden movement Is
one of the best things which has ever
