ONE soYs @WINTER cARpEN.~

Boy Scouts are planning to make
their gardens 100 per cent efficient,
by not allowing single pea or potato
to go to waste. Mr.. Benson Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. strongly urges all amateur gar
deners to do the same.
"A little boy, who learned canning
from our department, wrote me that
he had raised four gardens from one
little piece Of ground" he says. "His
spring crop, he said, was one garden,
his summer crop a second, and his
fall crop a third. His fourth was q
winter garden He said the latter had
q rows, and Is hills to a row. Each
hill, he added, was a one-Quart Jar
filed with preserved vegetables which
his other three gardens had produced.
In his winter garden he had 'one
row Of corn on the cob, two rows Of
corn off the cob and one row each Of
carrots, spinach, caulifower, cabbage
and other vegetables.
Canning will be just as important

HolU Much the
Little Heroes
Need Our HeLp!

1t Is less theatrical to give a bowl Of
soup to a hungry, frightened little
child than to stanch the wound of q
fallen soldier in the fighting line, but
the American Red Cross has underta-
ken to care for the suffering civilians
In war-torn Europe as well as to nurse
the wounded fighters. These little ones
are just as heroic, in their way, as
any man who charges the German
guns. And the children are often
wounded, too.
Here Is an extract from q letter
written by Mrs. Marian Bonsan Davis,
who was for six months volunteer
worker in France, among those nom
combatants who are almost hourly In
danger from German guns and bombs
Because 80 many bombs fall ON the
town Of Nancy, and because the place
Is sometimes bombarded, the children
all know that on a certain signal they
must run into the cellar Of the nearest
house marked with the great red cross.
There. perhaps, they will have protec-
ton.
There are children in the hospitals,
victims Of the bombs. There Is one
little girl, both legs taken off by
German bomb, hugging tight her dolly,
with never a smile on her grave face.
There are two little boys who also
suffered amputations because of the
bombs. They begged to be allowed
IN 1in in hn toI ri tho
wounded soldiers, and when the SOL
diers heard Of the request they smiled
and said "bien!" Ut Is well) And
now the little fellows are inordinately
proud Of the mutilations that permit
them to lie In the ward of crippled SOL
diers, the equals in rank Of the heroes
Of battle.
"Then there are the little ones in the
refugee colonies. If you have helped
with your money, with service, to car
ry the world-burden, you can look into
their eyes; otherwise you turn your
head when they gaze at you with
child wisdom.
"These little ones are very like 9th
er children except in one thing-no
horrible thing can ever surprise them.
Their baby eyes have looked upon the
unspeakable. They have gazed on vio-
lence and wrath in their most pefvert-
ed forms, have seen their grandpar-
ents hunted and driven, their mothers
hunted down. They are too young to
know that these things are not a COM
mon part Of life. And they are so
much older than you in knowledge Of
violence and suffering and terror, yet
because you are so big. and seem to
them wise, they look up to you In child
appeal.
"When you have seen that from
these little ones, you have touched the
war; and when you have touched the
war. there is only one kind Of relief
possible to you-and that is to help.
There is a very definite. practical way
to help-the American Red Cross. Ev-
cry cent you give will 60 further than
you ever would believe that a cent
could 60. A cent will give a bowl Of
soup to hungry. frightened child"

Conducted by National Council Of the

SCOUTS TO AID RED CROSS
cleo by National Council OF
Boy Scouts of America.)

DR.. Ernest P. Bicknell, director gen.
eral Of the American Red Cross, and q
member of the executive board Of the
Boy Scouts Of America, has been in
conference with other officials at the
Boy Scout headquarters, working out
definitely the plans proposed for the
cooperation Of the 25S,OO0 scouts and
scout officials with the Red Cross in
its war work.
Doctor Bicknell Is enthusiastic about
the prospect of efficient aid by the Boy
Scouts Of America in various branches
of Red Cross work. In the first place
every boy scout receives, in his regu-
lar scout training, instruction and prac-
tice In first aid and life-savinR, and
many scouts have gained such high pro-
ficiency In first aid that they have OBJ
tained the Merit Badge, which the
scout movement offers.
The second factor making for efa-
cient cooperation with a great relief
organization like the Red Cross, Is that
the boy scouts, wherever located. in
big cities or In hamlets, are organized
In definite groups and are under re-
sponsible adult leadership. This lead
ership cap be reached quickly with the
information as to ways to help. togeth-
er with instructions, from the national
headquarters Of the movement. Thus
1t is that more than quarter Of q mill
lion men and boys with special train
ing become partners Of the National
Red Cross In the work 1t has to do to
meet its tremendous and steadily in
creasing responsibilities In war time.
Service Of local groups Of this kind
can be given more effectively In Good
GRAFTON with the local chapters Of the
American Red Cross. And local scout
leaders everywhere have been advised
to Immediately acQuaint themselves
with the local Red Cross need.

WHERE CHERRIES ARE GROWN
Most Important Regions for Sweet
Variety Are Pacific Coast States
Sour Is Unknown.
(By H. p. GOULDO

The most important sweet-cherry
producing regions are in the Pacific
coast states, where the sour cherry Is
almost unknown. East of the Rocky
mountains the commercial production
Of sweet cherries is confined very large
ly to the Hudson River valley, western
New York and western Michigan. In
the two latter sections the climate is
much modified by the influence of the
Great Lakes. While sweet-cherry trees
are more or less widely distributed
throughout large portion of the coun-
try the number of trees aside from

So short are the food stocks in Euro pc
that if the war were to end this sum mer
it would be year or more before the
shortage could be made up and condi-
tons brought back to those where de-
mands for American food supplys were
normal. In other words, the farmers and
food producers of the United States, so
far as can be discerned here, may reason
ably expect heavy demand for foodstuffs
for export this year whether the war goes
on or not. They may expect it next year
even if peace comes. And if the war goes
on indefinitely, there will be demand for
more than this country can produce.
