Why should anyone worry? To
worry shortens life. Like anger. 1t

Remember, also, that no other coun-
try in the world leads in more than
three, and that Germany, Austria Hun

none.
Nobody is entitled to any special
credit for believing in the country that
is so tremendously richer than any

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1917-11-09

Louis w. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, is greatly elated by
crop reports received from small garden
plots he turned over free of charge to
families along the roads right of way
last summer. r- y~.c svsass,s>q ,-4f.
III Several hundred families planted vege-
tables on the company's property for
eighteen hundred miles, from st. Paul to
The Pacific coast, and the returns show
they were we'll repaid for their trouble.
Mr.. Hill estimates that if the entire pro-
duction of these plots was put into one
it would require two freight
trains of 100 cars each to haul the yege-
tables to market. 70.
81 But the planting was not done with any
such purpose in view, nor did Mr.. Hill
expect his railway would get an ounce of
haul from his philanthropic movement.
n All of these families enjoyed the green
vegetables they raised during the summer
months and many of them put into their
cellars enough potatoes, parsnips, beans,
canned, tomatoes, canned pumpkin and
other preserved vegetables to last during
the winter months. "'s~'
7, The results of the gardening of a single
family furnish q good example of what
was accomplished in each instance. Mrs.
~. McCann, u West Sycamore st., St.
Paul, has seven children. Her husband
works sin the Great. Northern railway
shops, adioining their home. The Mccain
family was allowed the use of plot of
ground 2OOx2OO feet. Here is what Mrs.
Mccain and her family did:
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1917-11-09

From five cents worth of pumpkin
seeds they raised fifty good pumpkins,
enough SO that the McCann children are
going to have pumpkin pie all winter
long. ~. -
From five cents worth of squash seeds
IS squash were raised. Hi
From Is cents worth of beet seeds they
secured three and one-half bushels of
From ten cents worth of parsnip seeds
they got one and one half bushels of par
ships.
B From two dozen tomato plants four
bushels of tomatoes were produced.
They planted about four bushels of po-
tatoes, but the ground was not well
adapted to potato growing and they only
gathered twenty five bushels. AZ
However, next year, with the soil pre-
pared, Mrs. Mccain says 100 bushels will
be raised easily.
Mr.. Hill is so gratifed with the results
that he is preparing to transform every
available foot of tillable soil along the
Great Northern railway into family gar
den plots next spring. &1i a's:-> VI.
II hope every railway in the United
States will do the same," he said, "forit
will mean so much toward helping Uncle
Sam win this world war. just think 5of
the thousands of train loads of garden
truck that can be turned into the mouths
right here at home in this way! It GER
tainly is food project of great magnitude
when taken in the aggregated. >
