of actual food production The aver
age city man on a salary supports a
family in idleness, for the most part.
On a farm everyone contributes to the
labor that gets the living from the
soil These idle city children should
be producing food on the land that is
going to waste. Vegetables compose
2 per cent of our diet, and each COM
munity should raise enough garden
product to meet its own needs. The
city of Columbus, Ohio, last year, pro-
ldoced 100000 worth of garden stuff;
Kansas City, Kan, farm gardens
yielded $4,000 worth of produce.
"Tne agricultural college is helping
in this work by organizing garden
clubs among the children. Last year
we had an enrolment in these clubs
of 1000 children. The average profit
for child in gardening is about 50
for a square rod of land, or $500 for
an acre.
1.-THE college plans to start the chill
dren in the towns in gardening as low
as the first grade. The school issues
an account book for the children,
which contains lessons in gardening,
and instructions on varieties of vege-
tables and other information that will
help them to succeed We want o1der
people in all the communities to or
ganize the children into clubs, thru
which the books can be brought to
them and also that Intelligent dlrec-
ton can be given their efforts
Mr. Williams also recommended
that older people engaged in garden
ing should obtain from the college the
new garden bulletin.
Take Children for Visit.
w. A S. Bird spoke on the need of
an exchange of ideas among practical
gardeners. II wish,'' he said, that
some of the people who have auto
mobiles could take the children who
are studying gardening to visit some
of the successful truck gardens near
town. 1 know a man, Harry Good
rich, who lives on Topeka avenue, and
has a small back yard garden, who
gets better results on his land than
any person 1 have ever known. He
understands grating plants. and he
has a world of ideas on all subjects
relating to gardening. I wish the
children who want to garden could
visit his place and learn some things
from him.
The latter part of the forenoon was
spent in a round table discussion of
the best methods of keeping vegeta-
bles and fruits during the winter,
without cold storage costs. and other
subjects of interest in gardening.
The dues for entrance into the as
ISOLATION are so cents for the active
membership. and also a provision is
made for 81 sustaining membership.
The permanent date for the annual
meetings of the society is set for the
last week in February

Why "Behemoth" Survives.

The books of the New Testament
were originally In Greek; those of the
Old Testament, Of course, in Hebrew.
When the first "authorized version"
of the Bible was framed, early in tho,
seventeenth century, the scholars who
undertook the work of translation
were puzzled to identify some of the
Scriptural beasts. The crocodile was
unknown in Europe at that period,
and, not having even heard of the
hippopotamus, they let the Hebrew
word "behemoth" stand.

Many Formations Of sponoes.

Sponges are animals with power to
eat and digest. They begin their life
as tiny eel-like creatures and have
short, free life in the sea, after which
they fasten themselves to rock and
begin to develop. They grow into all
directions like fingers, and are called
mermaid's gloves. There are fanlike
sponges, treelike sponges and cupllke
sponges. There are sponges that form
u carpet over the rocks, and sponges
called by the fishermen "sea nests" be-
cause they look like birds nests.
