What IS to becrme OF the 5000 home
gardens that aourished In the District
OF Columbia last summer, covering an
area OF 500 acres and making a net re-
turn estimated q: s401.t2 an acre. or
considerably more than a quarter OF a
million dollarsf
For the need OF little moro than
$500. or approximately tho net return
from one acre. the future OF this work
Is about to be seriously handicapped.
when It hac been hoped to make tho
summer Of 1918 eclipse that OF tho
previous year by a large margin. The
danger Of backsliding lies in the FALL
ure Of the District Of Columbia to pay
a small share OF the salary and ex-
penses Of q demonstration agent deeig-
mated by tho Department OF Agriculture
to aid and direct tho Warrington gar
denera
This agent Is Henry NJ conoIly. who
begun his duties April 8 last, strongly
