CLINTON SCHOOL
CHILDREN To BE
WAR GARDENERS
Third And Fourth Graders
Will Help 'Strafe
TheiHun'
BARBER TO AID TOTS
In MAKING GARDENS
Fundamentals OF Crop Rails
ing Included In The
Curriculum

Perhaps the greatest example OF
true patriotism in Knox county is the
number of war gardens which will be
raided by the little tots of the third
and fourth grades of Clinton town.
ship school on the Columbus road
Some time ago. G.. NJ. Barber of the
Martinsburg road, who teaches the
third and fourth grades, came to II
realization of the fact that if the war
is to be won by the allies, each indi-
vidual must do his share. According.
ly, the next morning at school, he put
the proposition OF a war garden up to
his pupils, saying that he would be
only too willing to help them out in
every way possible. The kiddies
were delighted with the idea and
unanimously agreed to do their share
in 'strallng the Hun
Having decided definitely to raise
gardens, the children took immediate
action. 1t was still too cold to SOW
any seed, so 4 lesson in the funda-
mentals of gardening was included in
the regular curriculum of the day.
Each day, Mr.. Barber drills into his
pupils the rudiments of raising Il gar.
den--how the seed of the different
vegetables should be sown, how far
apart rows should be. the nursing"
Of the young plant etc.
Ui, al hoS 81
small plot of ground either at his or
her home or some place else, and
with the aid OF Mr.. Barber, will soon
start actual work on it. Wednesday,
the children made u report to Mr..
Barber as to the size of their lots and
the nature OF the loan so that he
might tell each pupil what his or her
plot could produce with the most ef-
fectiveness and success. In this way,
u great deal OF time, money. energy
and ineifectiveness may be saved.
1t is Mr.. Barber's idea to get the
most and best produce out of the
least possible land. He therefore
plans to have his young agriculturists
rotate their crops. For instance, sup.
pose one child grows crop of on
ions. AS soon as some of these on
ions have grown to full size and are
gathered, a crop of tomatoes will be
started in the place where the onions
had previously been. By this meth
od, the growing tomato will reap the
benefit of whatever element the on
ion plant may have left in the soil.
Although Mr.. Barber has volunteer
ed, and will help the children with
their gardens, the actual work will be
done entirely by the gardeners them
selves. Merely with an idea of adding
q touch of beauty to their work, some
OF the children are planning TO form
Il background for their gardens. The
actual work on these gardens will be-
gin as soon as the weather permits
probably about next week.
TOO much praise and credit cannot

who are undertaking this work, es-

work right.
