Applications for the use of lots in

Flowing on 254 Of the lots avail
able will be commenced at once by

the users.
Fully 1900 packages of seeds were
distributed TO applicants yesterday
tee and before the week is over it is
expected that 1000 packages will
have been given out. Many Of the
children have already hOed up their
patches and are planning to plant

The necessity OF adults as well as
children interesting themselves in
the contest is being urged by prom
inent South Be2ders, who realize the
possibility of a food shortage. 1t is
pointed out that there are approx
mately $4,000 workers in South
Bend who have from two to five
leisure hours day. If each worker
spent an hour daily on his or her
backyard garden enough vegetables
could be raised to supply 5000 South
Benders for n year. The juvenile
lot gardeners could supply enough
vegetables for $500 more. All of
which would help in solving the
city's food problem.
