 Community gardeners should not attempt the project on too small an area of ground. Perhaps the smallest space in which such an effort would pay would be an acre. Two acres would
 better, because the larger the gar den the better the opportunity to use labor saving machinery, and the fur ther out other initial costs are spread An acre will give each of twenty gar den communists the produce from an equivalent of ground 40 by 50 feet in area.
 Tt would perhaps be better this year to specialize on a few of the common est non- -perishable, staple garden crops. Even a single crop, like potatoes might pay community. It would be well not to plant crops which mature in small quantities from day to day because the division of small quantities of produce among many gardeners would often be a task challenging the diplomacy of Solomon.

 Better for the community gardens are crops which mature all at once giving plentiful quantities for division Such suggested crops are potatoes turnips, cabbages, carrots, parsnips beets, late (dry) onions, and soy beans Navy beans are hard to grow, and per haps should not be attempted unles. the practical instruction is given fire quently by the expert who is employed and unless most of the communit. gardeners know something about tn, work"
