In character they are stubborn and

them an opportunity to utilize their

manner enlisted 1,6S0.OO0 garden sol

used and by children in many cases
who would not have been otherwise
employed. This food was in most
cases consumed while fresh, where
produced, without cost OF transrolta-
ton or handling and without deterlora-
ton ON the market. Considering these
facts, the real results are of greater
value than the figures would Indicate
More Gardens This Year.
Reports from more than 0ne-half
Of the towns and cities that were not
organized under the federal plan in
1918 indicate they will be part of
the United States garden army in 1919.
Many cities and towns had gardens,
but the superintendent of schools for
various reasons did not have the chill
dren to organize along the lines of the
federal garden army plan. However,
it should be added that these COM
munities did great amount of work
toward increasing food production In
their localities.
The garden work Is one Of the first
educational movements in the state and
nation that has been enthusiastically
supported by school authorities in pub
lie, parOchlal and private schools. All
these school systems joined in many
localities and employed the same gar
den supervisor and garden teachers.
The garden division Of the bureau
Of education was greatly increased
last September by the employment OF
assistant regional directors for all the
