Washington.-The war gardeners Of
the United States answered Pershing's
call to Keep the Food Coming"
There are, according to figures being
tabulated by the national war garden
commission, 100000 war gardens in
the United States. These figures are
incomplete and the estimates were
made ON reports received up to June
Is. This number indicates an increase

Their estimates will be made by the
commission both on the number of gar
dens and the estimated crop value.
Taking these early figures into
consideration" said Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the commission, in
making public the preliminary survey,
together with the increased canning
demonstration work being done by the
United States department of agricul-

Big Prizes Are Offered.
The report points to the early plant

possible by weather generally favor
able throughout the country. To en-
courage saving the garden crop the
national war garden commission, which
planted 4O0-acre demonstration war
garden at Camp Dix, N. j., is offering
$4,000 in prizes for the best canned
vegetables grown in war gardens, with
the slogan Back up the cannon by
use Of the Gamer"
In nearly every section of the coun-
try there has been an appreciable and
encouraging increase in the number of
war gardens this year, the commission
announced. This has ranged anywhere
from 10 to go per cent. In the Eastern
portions there was failure to note
a gain on the early returns.
