These gardens are q practical
demonstration Of what can be done in
the islands towards raising our own
food said J. NJ. Westgate, head of
the station. II have recommended
many times that the owners OF large
tracts Of land and especially where
labor Is employed, give their men n5'
eral tracts without cost and allow them
to cultivate the land.
There is lots of land and the me Q
win be glad to cultivate 1t for whR
they can get out of It. Among our II
men working the land at the station
that are Portuguese, Japanese, Porto
Ricans and one white man, J. H.
Cowan, who took over q plot largely
for experimental purposes, he being
employed right here In the station.
The men who work after hours
often bring their families with them.
There Is one Japanese whose family
has done much toward making his
garden q success. After o'clock each
afternoon they can generally be found

Mr.. Westgate urges especially that
the plantations use this method Of
meeting the present food shortage.
