Ames, July 2-Incomplete reports re-
ce!ved at Iowa State College, Ames. In
dictate that there is at least 800 per cent
increase in garden acreage in Iowa this
yea..
Reports from the volunteer food pro-
ducers army. from the boys and girls
clubs and from many high schools show
that 10000 persons in these groups
alone have gardens this year. This. OF
course, represents only small frac-
ton Of the gardens in the state. or the
total, 1900 are enrolled in the boys
and girls clubs 1900 as volunteer
food producers and $4,000 represent
gardeners from about half the high
schools of the state. Enrolment from
the other half would undoubtedly show
another $4,000.
Indications Of at least 500 per cent
garden acreage increase lie in fact that
Of the boys and girls club members
alone, 5000 of the 1900 are planting
a garden for the first time; practical
~ every one of the 1900 volunteers
are garden beginners and at least $4,000
Of the $4,000 high school students have
never had a garden before. Garden en-
rollment in the club work Is larger this
year than the enrolment IN all thir-
teen club divisions last year

Estimating that each Of the 10000
persons are cultivatins garden Of ten
square rods, which Is conservative,
their gardens would cover $500 acres or
one fourteenth of the total truck gar
den acreage of the state. On this acre.
age could be raised 100000 pounds Of
tomatoes OF 202.500 bushels OF potatoes.
Des Moines authorities estimate a 400
per cent increase in garden acreage in
their city: Sioux City estimates it has
5000 gardens which will produce $780,
900 worth of stuff: 500 gardens are be-
ing cultivated by the school children in
