FARM UP To
THE WATER DEPT.
Farm Work Depends Upon
Starting Construction of New
City Reservoir

Whether the city will again cuIti-
waite the city farm at Kinsey Corners
this year depends upon the decision
OF the water department in starting
construction of the reservoir to be
erected for a municipal water supply
at that point The corn raised on the
farm last yea is still being used at
the city stables to feed the 1orses
there.
city farm, which originated in the
desire to economize on food at the
beginning OF the war. has been high
ly satisfactory. There were several
acres placed under cultivation at the
Kinsey orner point and the city poor
farm was also set out in corn. The
latter tract will again be worked but
oats and grass will be substituted this
year for the corn, as last years crop
there was unsatisfactory. The grass
and oats can be used by the COW at
the almshouse.
Alderman Anderson. chairman of
the committee on streets and sewers,
said last night that the action taken
on the reservoir would determine
what would be done toward farming
the land. He said that he would on
fer shortly with the department and
IL they were not going TO use the
tract this summer he would go ahead
with its cultivation. While the reser-
voir operation might not take in all
of the tract, he said. IL would take
in the larger and better part OF II.
The planting was first done under
the supervision OF the agricultural
committee of the old Home Defense
League, when it was originated.
