for any call for extra work or contingency.
II was the Boy Scouts who volunteered to clear
the fields for ploughing, gathering and burn
ing great piles Of cornstalks
To prevent waste among backyard war gar
dens whose owners found themselves with
surplus of one vegetable and scarcity OF
others. the Community Farm runs "vege-
table exchange" Here, subject to weight by
pound and the wholesale price daily posted In
this department the individual gardener can
bring his product in whatever quantities ne
has on hand, to exchange with others VINO
come for the same purpose, or to be disposed
of at small profit to housekeepers, who can
take advantage Of this opportunity of saving
if thew will carry home all purchases.
All surplus produce left in this cooperative
market each night is disposed of to dealers
and institutions in the neighborhood at the
same wholesale rate.
Every class of citizen and civic organization
in Scarsdale is represented by the active work
ers.
Unlike some women's war activities, which
q masculine cynic once remarked, make you
long for peace at any price" the Scarsdale
project has the active cooperation OF the lead
ing men Of the region. For instance, the
president of the Community Farm is the VICE
president of the Home Defence League, while
the ce-president Of the committee is the
president of the School Board. Down the list
others include the general manager, mem
Der of the Suffrage Club, who originated the
cooperative farm idea. A subcommittee OF
district managers is great help in keeping IN
touch with all the people in the town.

1 WaAE III
n:ssSS>! munity farm organized early
in the summer by public-spirited women at
Scarsdale, \. y.
1t has proven itself such thoroughly prac-
teal working experiment that next season its
own activities and output will not only be
greatly increased, but the farm plan has
drawn such widespread interest that it is to
be used as a working model for other com
munities throughout the country.
Briefly, the farm grew out of the determine
ton of the women of Scarsdale to make their
town an entirely self-supporting agricultural
section in regard to farm produce. Aroused
by the warning that every wasteful community
that drew on the worlds supply Of foodstuf
unnecessarily endangered the life of others,
these set out to offset such possibility by
every means in their power.
For Scarsdale was not satisfied with BOOM
ing the backyard garden movements and the
multifold advantages of intensive gardening
this year by individual efforts. The idea was
that if the community could succeed as well in
rooling its labor on cooperative plan of truck
gardening it would arouse public-spirited in
terest more than would be possible in any other
way. " course, IL ine HeIHUeIS COuIu H!dHe
their farm pay in addition to the individual CO.
operative share in return for labor. so much
the better.
From the large number of tracts Of land at
once offered by pubic-spirited citizens the
organizers chose a small farm with small
house on it, TO be used for clubroom, lecture
rooms, storage and business Offices.
Although the farm was offered rent free by
the owner, Miss Virginia Butler, it was cal
culated that $4,000 would be needed to finance
the scheme for the season. Although a few
interested citizens offered at once to guarantee,
this sum, the committee preferred more
democratic plan. They asked for subscrp-
tons for two hundred SO shares, to be re-
deemed in produce from the farm at the end
Of the season.
This paid for the service Of a working over
seer, a farmer who plans and directs all the
work, the seeds and fertilizer at wholesale

TURING the fall months the sweet potato
is one of the luxuri that every house
- wife may allow her family The yam, or
juicy variety, is the favorite. This, while bak-
ing, exudes a sticky juice resembling mo-
lasses. The vegetables should be laid in deep
pan in order to prevent the juice from running
over into the bottom of the oven.
One curious characteristic of all varieties of
sweet potatoes is that they are rather dry and
tasteless until hard frost has killed the
tangle of vines covering the ground above the
succulent tubers. Like some human natures,
the sharp touch Of adversely is needed to
bring out their hidden sweetness and true
worth.
There are many ways in which sweet
potatoes may be utilized Many Of these will
prove novelties to Northern housekeepers, but
they will certainly appeal to all palates il
only they are once tried and tasted.
