Central Western territory. There was
gain of fully 30 per cent over the
war garden activity of last year.
Eastern States Tagging.
"The Eastern states, including New
England, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware, on the
whole showed little increase over last
year. In certain parts of all this ter
ritory there has been a better show
Ing. and particularly has there been
greater activity among manufactur-
Ing concerns in providing land for
their employees; but these gains have
been counteracted to certain extent
by less activity in other places; so that
the amount of food homegrown along
the upper Atlantic coast this year will
be slightly If any greater than last
year. Better cultivation in hundreds
of cases may make up for what is lack
ing in numbers. In New York the park
department alone reports 1900 war
gardens 20 by 40. The total number
Of war gardens in this territory. as
shown by the reports, is S4S,OO0. Of
which $4,000 are in New York, Penn
sylvania. New Jersey and Delaware.
1.-The South has made an excellent
record. certain states in particular
having made notable gains. Including
Texas and Oklahoma, there are a total
Of ], ,246,O war gardens in the South
ern states this year, one-fourth of the
number in the entire United States.
California, Washington and Oregon
show total of 463,OOO war gardens.
That the war gardeners intend to save

shown in the 200 entries received up
to July l for the canning contests that
garden clubs are organizing all over

thing relative to using the potato as
wheat substitute.
The use OF the raw potato and the
cold mashed potato in place of wheat
flour for making griddIe cakes, waf-
files, mullins biscuits and quick breads
was the subject of Miss Osborne's lee
ture and demonstration. Before begin
ming her lecture Miss Osborne told the
women that they must not expect the
nuffins and breads TO look the same
when made OF potatoes, as they did
when made OF wheat flour "They do
not look the same when finished, neith-
er do they taste the same" she said,
"and we couldn't expect them to. We
must not expect bread made of sub
stitutes to look the same as bread
made of white flour"

happen as il is for our clothes to look

same and even a better purpose. Grid

of potatoes and so are the breads"
There was no white flour used in
Miss Osbornes demonstration this aft
