GARDENING AS CARRIED
ON IN WASHINGTON
Three Hundred Gardens in Shadow
of Washington Monument
Paw S84 Each.

One OF the most striking eX-
amples of what may be accomplish
ed in food production is that OF
the Potomac Park home gardens
located in the District of Columbia
almost within the shadow of the
Washington Monument. This year
there were 300 gardens, supervised
by the United States department
of agriculture. each 40 feet by 100
feet in size, and occupying in all
approximately 35 acres.
According to reports recently re-
ceived from the gardeners, and bas-
ed on actual records, these gardens
gave an average return of $84 a
garden, or over $25,000 for the 300
gardens. This means that no less
than 800 families living in the Dis
trict of Columbia not only have
supplied their tables with fresh
vegetables throughout the sum
mer, but now have on hand con-
siderable supply OF food for winter
1900 people have enjoyed outdoor
exercise and healthfnl recreation.
This is but one instance where
the city home garden has resulted
both in the production of large
quantities of food and in prOvid-
ing the people with outdoor life
exercise. The need for home gard
ems will be as great in 1920 as during
the past season. Now is the time
to perfect organizations and secure
land on which to plant gardens
next year.

HIGH DENSITY
COTTON PRESS
PROSPECTSCOOD
Promoters Big Enterprise
Report Encouraging In-
terest is Being Manifest
ed By Business Men.

CanvaSsers for stock subscriptions
for the 100000 high density cotton
compress which will be erected in Pen
sacola, found business booming yes
terday and are optimistic over future
successes. Immediately after sufficient
stock is subscribed the organiza tion
will be perfected and building plans
made.
Prospects for securing a high dens-
ity cotton compress at Pensacola look
bright at the present time but it must
be understood that it is necessary for
the business men of the city to give
their entire cooperation and to come
forward with stock subscriptions" said
E. c.. Carter, one of the promoters of
the movement last night
The biggest asset of Pensacola is
her harbor and nothing will do more
to increase the amount of business
handled than a high density cotton
compress. The shippers of the city
have expressed themselves as being
very favorable to this proposition and
understand the necessity of having it
here if this port is to be used as it
should and they say one reason a larger
amount of cotton is not now passing
through this port is that we do not
have a high density cotton compress; !;
that American ships will not take cot
ton unless it has gone through this
process, as will no other ship only at
an increase in freight which makes it
prohibitive.
The information given out by the
shippers is that there will be no great
difficulty in securing ships. provided
we can secure the cargo and there is
no reason why this ports facilities
should not be in use. while those of
other ports are over-crowded in handl-
ing cotton.
The establishment of this plant here
would mean not only the labor in
handling the cotton and operating the
plant. but it would also mean a large
amount of work along the water front
in handling ships in loading the cot
ton, and a large amount of business to
those furnishing fuel and other sup
plies needed on a ship, and besides
the commerce which would be stimu-
lated and the good resultinfi to the
city. 1t is a well known fact to those
who are acquainted with this line of
business that a high density cotton
compress located at a port has paid
large dividends to the stockholders and
no one need have any fear that the
money which they invest in this in
dustry will not receive proper returns
from the investment.
1T would therefore seem that the
business men of Pensacola would read
lily come forward because of the good
resulting to the city from an estab-
lishment of a high density cotton COM
press here and for the reason that they
will receive large returns. larger pos
sibly, than they would receive from
any other investment which they would
make
