CONVALESCENT SOLDIERS
RAISE VEGETABLES
Some Become So Attached to Soil
They VIII Take Farms on Re-
turn to United States.

Vegetable gardens for convalescent
soldiers at American Army hospitals
in France have proved SO successful
that the American Red Cross has sent
representative to this country to Sc
cure ten expert market gardeners to
direct such activities at all American
hospitals in France.
To convalescent soldiers these gar
dens offer useful and interesting occu-
patton, and have been OF great prActf-
cal service, according to reports from
France. In many cases Of shell shock
the doctors have agreed that farm
work is one of the best restor4tives.
Other patients, however, greatly en-
Joy the outdoor activities, and many
have become SO attached to the soil
that they have announced their linton.
ton of obtaining farms on their re-
turn to the United States.
The gardens, moreover, provide
quantities of fresh green vegetables
to the diet kitchens. and especially
mon in France but very popular with
the patients.
pital No. 6, for example, produced
more than two tons Of green vegeta-
b1es in less than three months. As q
result the hospital tables were well
stocked with radishes, potatoes, beans
and lettuce. Included is a large plant
ing of green corn, which will enable
our boys to enjoy corn on the cob, q
vegetable practically unobtainable in
French markets.
In connection with one of these
farms the Red Cross, with cows lent
by the French government, will estab-
fish model experimental dairy, which
in addition to gardening and cattle
raising will give convalescents useful
recreational employment Tho manure
from the dairy, it is pointed out, will
be very valuable to the garden, which.
cultivation during the entire year.

Launches e5 Ships in Day.

The most spectacular achievement in
the history of shipbuilding, in this or
any other country, was the launching
from American ship yards on indie
pendence day of ninety-five steel, wood
and composite vessels. totaling 474,464
dead-w weight tons: thus in one day there
were launched 1SS,809 more lightweight
tons Than was the output of seagoing
tonnage (of over ], 500 lightweight tons)
in the best pre-war year of American
ehipbuf1dfng.
Another worlds record was made by
American shipyards for the month Of
July. There were launched in that
month 126 steel. wood and composite
vessels. totaling 634. AL lightweight
tonz THIS total more than doubles, the
launching totals of any month in the
history OF British shipyards. Prior to
this year British shipyards launched
more ssyessea8 hIn1ally than all the
CthSf1 h tk8HorlG -: p -,
Thus an unpr ecedented pace OF cons
struction marks the rapidly increasing
output of tonnage from American ship
yards All records for fast shipbuilding
are now held by them. Before the war
from nine months to a year were re-
Quired to build a 3,500-ton steel sea-
going vessel. and from a year and a half
to two years to complete vessel Of
n 900 tons and over.
