LITTLE GARDENS
help WITH FOOD
Many Citizens of Southern States
Respond to Cry for More
Vegetables.
BACK YARDS Are UTILIZED
Report Of Specialist Of Tennessee Is
Received by United States Depart
ment Of AgricuIture-Plan of
Organization.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Thousands of city people in the
southern states responded this year to
the campaign for more home gardens,
and it was largely with the products
produced in these city gardens that
the South was able to feed itself.
An example of the success Of the
garden work in the South is given in
the report Of G. J. Miles, city garden
specialist of Tennessee, recently re-
ceived by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Through the eff
forts of Mr.. Miles, cooperating with
all interested agencies, "a cities and
towns in Tennessee were systematical-
ly organized in garden work. In these
"a cities there were 59S,550 gardens,
covering total of 4,192 acres. In
the city of Memphis alone there were
1882 gardens, covering an area of
1923 acres. According to the report,
Knoxville had 10000 gardens, Nash
vile 5000, and Chattanooga 5000.
at was the purpose of this work."
says Mr.. Miles in his report on the
methods of organization and conduct
ing the work, ITO encourage the utili
cation of back yards and vacant lots
for growing garden vegetables and to
contine operations to cities and towns
of the state over $500 population.
Plan Described.
sour first effort was to effect ain or
ganization in as many of the towns
and cities of the state as possible. The
general plan of organization follows:
A mass melting was called, to which
existing organizations, such as parent
teachers, council of defense, and bust
ness mems organizations, We're espe-
cially invited. At this meeting q GEN.
trail chairman was named to have gen.
eral supervision of the work of the
town or city. Associated with this
chairman is committee composed of
one or more persons from each ward,
school district, or natural division Of
the town.
"The immediate work of this COM
mittee was to take garden census,
listing the back yards and vacant
lots suitable for gardening, the per-
sons who contemplated gardening, and
particularly those who desired more
space than they had at their command.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1919-03-28

These latter at once were put in touch
with owners of vacant lots, and in
most cases were permitted to garden
these vacant spaces free of rent.
I'm some instances, notably in Mem
phis and Chattanooga, this committee
listed the plowmen, and were able TO
reduce the rate of blowing from S. an
hour to $1.50 or So per hour. Grow
ers of plants were also listed and
plants procured in large quantities
were furnished at a reasonable rate.
Problems Solved.
'"Twenty-four cities and towns were
organized in this manner this year. 1t
has been my purpose to visit each Of
these organizations once a month and
spend day and night or more with
them. At night the committees, to-
gether with any others interested,
were called together for a conference.
At this conference garden problems
and plans for the month were dis
cussed and plans for the month were
discussed. On the day following prac-
teal demonstrations were conducted
In the gardens. In addition to my
monthly visits, newspaper articles
treating garden problems have been
supplied the city and town press, and
much use has been made of the United
States department of agriculture and
division of extension bulletins on gar
dening."

gressive spirit, and each individual in
the community is helped. Even the.
boys and girls take an added interest
in the farm and especially in the dairy
herd.
A North Dakota association held a
cattle show at which cows, bulls, and
young stock were exhibited. The show
was held in connection with three
day chautauqua, and it was estimated
that 5000 people visited the show and
the chautauqua. Great interest CEN
tered about the boys stock judging
contest, which was one of the features
of the occasion. The educational
value of such work can hardly be over
estimated.
In Michigan the work of "a bull as
ISOLATION led to an annual five days
agricultural school in winter and an
annual summer picnic. AT the picnics
small cash prizes were given for the
best heifers exhibited. This associa-
ton consists of % members who in
vested $25 each, for which they have
already had the use of good pure-bred,
bulls for six years. q

BUREAUS AVERT FIRE LOSSES
At Least Half Million Dollars Worth
Of Foodstuffs Saved to Farm
ers in California.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Fire damage in California this year
is only 40 per cent of that of previous
years, fire underwriters state, due to
the work Of fire companies initiated
by the farm bureaus. To avert a
threatened loss Of foodstuffs through
fire, the bureaus organized local rural
fire companies in 366 farm-bureau
centers of the state. OF these, 257
companies purchased automobile trail
'ers, containing fire-fighting equipment
for grain and grass fires, and 1891
farmers enlisted in rural fire COM
panies which covered territory of
1902 square miles. The loss in Cali
fornia from grain and grass fires was
$75O,OOO year before sabotage and
prO-Germanism increased the fire risks,
and it is probable that at least half a
million dollars worth of foodstuffs has
been saved by these rural fire. COM
panies.

GOOD POINTERS
FOR BEEKEEPER
Not Always Easy to Determine
Whether Cellar Is Giving Sat-
isfactory Results.
THERMOMETER IS NECESSARY
Few Measures Given So That keeper
May Decide Whether Methods
Could Be lmproved-There
Should Be No Moisture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
1t is often difficult for the beekeeper
to know whether his bee cellar is CIV
ing the best results, for he may not
have been able to determine from
reading or observation of other Gel
lars whether it Is satisfactory. Below
are given few measures which the
beekeeper may apply to his apiary
and his cellar, so that he may be able
to decide whether his methods of cell
lar wintering should be improved.
(D During the winter thermOme-
ter inserted in the entrance of the
hive should show temperature Of at
least so degrees Fahrenheit.
(2) There should never be any con-
densed moisture on the covers of the
hives, and certainly never any on the
bottoms.
Keep Cellar Dark.
(3) While the cellar should be kept
dark at all times, If candle is held
Mt the entrance Of hive at the end
of January it should be several Sec
onds before any of the bees break
cluster. Frequently the cellar doors
may be opened in March without dis
turblng the bees.
(4) There should never be many
dead bees on the bottom of the hives.
The live bees should be able to push
them out as they die during the win
ter. The bees thus carried out will be
found OH the cellar floor just below the
entrances. If there are bees all over
the floor, it shows that these bees have
flown from the hives-an indication Of
poor wintering.
(5) The bees should be quiet during
the late winter. Noise at this time
indicates that the bees are disturbed
by an accumulation of feces, caused
by low temperatures or poor food.
(6) IF the bees We're in good condi-
ton in the fall and have been wintered
well, the loss during the winter will
never be more than one-sixth of the to-
tai population of the hive. Such a
loss is excessive, however, and in a
well-wintered colony il may be as low
as hundred bees. This probably de-
ponds to a large extent on the age Of
the bees which go into winter. and If
the temperature Is right, and the stores
good there will be almost no loss of
vigorous bees.
60 The bees should not leave the
hive while they are being carried

PROTECTION FOR LIVE STOCK
To Obtain Best Results Fowls, Hogs
and Cattle Must Be Housed as
Weather Gets Cold.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Poultry, hogs, and dairy cattle, to
give best results, must be housed, es-
pecially at night, as the weather gets
frosty. All buildings used for housing
h animals should be put in good
condition, and where necessary re-
modelled along approved lines. Farm
ers contemplating the construction of
new farm buildings should seek the
advice Of county agents or those who
are prepared to give expert informa-
ton on the construction of farm
buildings.

The educational value of co-Opera-
tive bull association doubtless exceeds
the direct net cash returns. The isola.
ton from neighbors is at once changed
to contact that informs and enlight-
ems, and, as rule, all members of the
association become greatly interested
in the improvement of their herds.
They study live stock pedigrees, indi-
vidual conformation, and production
records. They hold meetings at which
dairy problems of all kinds are dis
cussed. The members come to under

Gates that they are excited by an &C.
emulation of feces
No Spotting.
{S) Before removal from the cell
lar there should be no spotting of the
hives from dysentery. There may be
little spOtting after the bees have
had a free flight outside, but if this
is small in amount it does not indi-
cate serious condition.
Coy When the bees are taken from
the cellar there should be no moldy
combs, for the cellar at the right tenn
perature will be too dry for the growth
of molds.
1O There should be no brood when
the colonies are taken from the cellar.
Brood-rearing in the cellar is proof
that the cellar is too cold or that the
food used by the bees is inferior.
QD Enough brood should be in each
colony at the opening of the main
honey-fow to fill completely II Lang
stroth frames.
Q2) The population of the hive
should not decrease appreciably after
the bees are removed from the cellar.
Such condition, known as spring
dwindling, is an indication of poor win
tering. For three weeks after the
hives are set out no new bees will be
emerging, but the loss of bees during
the time should be so small as not to
be noticeable.

WAY OF SPREADING MANURE
Best Results Where Scattered Over

Adds to Value.

Eight tons of manure spread over
two acres will return a much larger
profit than the same amount placed
on one acre. In experimental tests,
supplementing each ton of yard ma

raised the crop-producing value Of the
mixture from $3.50 per ton to $4.52.
