Red Cross Establishes Truck
Farms in France.
Supplies Recreation and Employment
to convaIescents and Increases
Food Supply.

Paris.-With view to supplying
recreation and employment to conval.
escents, and incidentally increasing
the food supply, the American Red
Cross has established ten truck farms
IN connection with base hospitals in
France where, under trained superyi-
sion, the cOnvalescents are raising
vegetables for consumption in the hos
pitfalls. The number of farms will be
increased during the year, the Ameri-
can Red Cross supplying seed, imple-
ments and trained supervision, as well
as money for operating expenses.
at one place, where there are three
base hospitals together, farm of 100
acres Is now under cultivation, though
the average farm is about eight acres.
Two of the larger farms are equipped
with tractors. For the most part, how
ever, the work is hand labor, that the
convalescents may profit to the utmost
from the outdoor exercise.
Owing to climate conditions garden
Ing is an all-the-year-round occupation
in France and is carried on in a most
intensive way, with every inch of
ground under cultivation and rows be-
tween rows, as, for instance, cabbages
between rows of potatoes. When
plants are removed in the morning the
ground is worked over during the day
ana by night the soil Is again at work |
on freshly sown seed. No charge is
made the hospitals for the produce,
but accounts are kept and it is expect |
ed to show that the farms more than
pay for the cost of operation.
Through these gardens many French
Poilus will have their first taste of the
great American delicacy, "corn on the
cob" A greater use of variety of
vegetables is made in France than in
America and the Red Cross is supply.
