Home Gardens Cut in
Halt the H. {. L.---Better
Plan For One in 1920.

Home gardens have cut in half the
cost Of providing their owners with
foodstuffs, is the statement made by
several local home gardeners. They
further say that the high cost of green
foodstuffs does not cause them one
worry.
Although complete data showing the
monetary value of the local gardens,
has not been secured as yet, it has
been estimated that one hundred gar
dens, measuring 5Ox100 feet. will pro-
duce during the summer foodstuffs
valued at about four thousand dollars.
One dozen tomato plants should
yield tomatoes valued at SO, while
100-foot row Of corn netted the owner
corn valued at $3.50 and a 100-foot row
of beets produced $500 worth of beets.
A 100-foot row of green beans pro-
duced $3.50 worth Of green beans while
100-foot row of lima beans produced
beans valued at $500. One woman
in the north end canned and stored
so much of her garden produce that
she was able last winter to keep her
grocery bill down to $500 a week,
despite high prices.
