S120 dollars for the first year to S105

the balance decreased under his prompt
monthly payments. In addition, he is
paying annual city taxes Of $56.l6. The

BrOOkIyn'S Potato Crop Might
Be Worth S4,5O0,OO0

Now. to make it easy figuring, sup
pose we say that there are $500 acres
in vacant lots in Brooklyn Borough.
Suppose those vacant lots had been
planted in potatoes last season, the yield
at 400 bushels to the acre would have
produced 100000 bushels of potatoes.
And when you stop to think that the
total yield of potatoes in the United
States last season was 2S5, 437 900 bush
els, you must admit that the vacant lots
in Brooklyn could have been much bet
ter employed than in merely forming
basis for the assessors and the tax col
lectors to get money from the owners.
for these 100000 bushels of potatoes
could have been sold, at the lowest rate
of $3.50 a barrel, for $4,500,000.
That's pretty steep" you say?
Well, there are the figures. Or
course, prices and yields were steep last
season. But you must remember also
that we have been calculating on an
exceedingly low estimate Of the num-
Der of acres of vacant lots. But there
are second crops-spinach, for instance
that yield largely. One of New York
City's farmers made $4,000 in spinach
last season after clearing up $4,000 on
potatoes on the same land.
Suppose, however, we are even more
conservative and base the possible
gains on the low estimate of 100000
vacant lots. In Minneapolis they
raised crops valued at $4,000 on 1000
vacant lots. A Minneapolis lot is twice
the size of local lot If, therefore, Just
the ordinary vegetable crops were raised
on the vacant lots across the East
River it stands to reason that the value
of the crops there would be about fifty
times the value of the crops in Mime
apolis-that is, S2,500,000.

This club proposed TO have citizens raise
vegetables on the vacant lots OF the
city. The first year they had one gar
den, the second year there were gardens
on 325 vacant lots, and the lots in Min
neapolis are 40x120 feet. The great
est part of the space was given up to
vegetables, but a small strip in front
was reserved for flowers, so that instead
of the vacant lots being covered with
weeds, as nearly all vacant lots are. they
were blooming gardens. Twenty-Five
thousand packages Of nasturtium seed
were distributed the second year and
there were three miles of gardens. The
third year more than 1000 vacant lots
were utilized, besides 279 home gardens.
During this year every one Of the men
and women who were working these
charity gardens became of his OF her
own accord paying member Of the
Garden Club, paying fees of $3.50 and
getting in return the use of a vacant
lot, ploughed and narrowed, seed and
the help of a professional agricultural
instructor. One-fourth of the entire
area of Minneapolis was utilized in gar
dens, and the total value of the crops
raised in one year was $4,000, with a
cost Of S6,154.
