A talk on Gardens" by DR.. Jane
Leslie Kift, showed that women arc
just as busy getting ready for their
flower gardens as they are looking up
the natter of vegetables. Unfortu-
natCly, much money will be wasted
this year in the frantic scramble for
vegetable gardens put in by people
who have never tried any kind o.
planting before. L was brought jut
by the questions at the meeting that
many of the women are going to give
W portion of their flower-bed
patches to vegetables, but most Of
these women have gardened somewhat
every year for several seasons, and
will probably be able to bring their
work to harvest period. The new
gardeners will more likely get dis
couraged before many weeks are out,
and only in a few instances will there
be any profit in the work.

quarter, ending March 81, show that
poultry and beef we're held in con-
siderable quantities, up to April l,
1T least More poultry than has ever
before been known to be in cold stor'
age in Pennsylvania was in the ware
houses at the beginning OF this month,
when there was 7,059,754 pounds, as
compared with 2,365,351 pounds on
the same date in 1916.
The reports as compiled by James
Foust. Dairy and Food Commissioner
show that eggs in storage are at low
ebb, but that butter shows an increase
over the same period year ago. The

not contain any food products at the
beginning of the month and the hold
ings of eggs and meat were scattered
among twenty of the largest concerns

holding poultry.

brought decided drop in the amount
of that food in storage and there were
only 1,163,977 pounds, as compared
with 3,126,675 pounds three months
ago.
Large exports of beef and pork have
reduced these holdings and there are
reported 554,259 pounds of carcasses
of beef and 1,4O2.57O pounds Of parts
CT carcasses. This is an increase OF
almost 100000 pounds, as compared
with the sametime last year, but a

269SO carcasses and 1,S27,SS2 pounds
