{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 1t 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 c. 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-
~ organized in garden work. In these
"A cities there were 598,550 gardens,
covering total Of 4,192 acres. In
the city Of Memphis alone there were
20912 gardens, covering an area OF
q ,O28 acres. According to the report,
Knoxville had 10000 gardens, Nash
Vile 5000, and Chattanooga 5000.

Fsays Mr.. Miles in his report on the
methods Of organization and conducts
ing the work, ito encourage the utili-
Eation of back yards and vacant lots
for growing garden vegetables and to
confine operations to cities and towns
Of the state over $500 population.
Plan Described.
"Our first effort was to effect an Or
ganization in as many of the towns
and cities of the state as possible. The
general plan Of organization follows:
A mass meeting was called, to which
existing organizations, such as parent
teachers. council Of defense, and BUSH
ness mems organizations, were espe-
cially invited. At this meeting CEN
trail chairman was named to have gem
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.
1.-THE immediate work of this COM
mittee was to take a 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.

When Theodore Roosevelt was about
10 years old his parents took house
overlooking the Hudson River in Dobbs

of pride to the older people Of the pretty
village opposite the Palisades.

also that tho force OF character, cour-

among whom he found himself. lie was
usually to be found with crowd OF boys
on expeditions TO the Saw NH River TO
swim and fish, and on these hikes,
though many were bigger and stronger
than he, none outdid him in endurance.
Roosevelt's particular pal among tho
BOYS was John MacNichol, and the
friendship of the two lasted until yes
