This garden contest is q great
work. Those here who have not taken
part, are Interested in seeing the
others. and many need only little
more announcement to draw them
into the ranks, IS may be seen when

Association. In less than week
nearly so children had either enlarged

or begun gardens for the first time.
Experience in our school garden has
already shown these children that

can sell what they do not wish to.
