" 600 were enrolled in 1919 in the
United States school garden army.
With the new year the problems that
confront educators are to increase this
army, to make the garden work more
permanent and to increase its educa-
tional value. The motto of the garden
army-"A Garden for Every Child,
Every Child in a Garden"-can only be
realized when gardening becomes a
definite part of school work.
City children will form habits of in
dustry and regularity by utilizing
their energies on the back yards and

gardening requires only a United
amount of school time, but it should

Lake City has a price of 1914 cents a

Every other city Of the 81 reporting

In 1914 the average price per quart
Of milk was only s cents. BY 1918 it
had risen to an average Of IA cents
now it is near 16 cents. This repre-
sents an increase of nearly 100 per

That the farmer is not profiteering
is indicated by the fact that the costs
of all foOdstuffs and other elements en-
tering into the production of milk have
risen more than the milk price.
Out of 25 principal cities in the

Farmer Gets Half of Average Milk Price

+ 4 COSTS the average housewife in
! the United States 15.9 cents quart
for milk. This is the figure based on
returns for April of 81 of the principal
cities of the United States in every
state in the Union, compiled by the
department of agriculture.
For the milk which costs the house
wife 16 cents approximately the
farmers of the United States get from
4 cents up to 13 cents-an average of
81 cents.
Thus, of every dollar spent for milk
in the United States, the dairy farmer
gets only so cents. The other so cents
covers the costs which come between
farmer and cOnsumer-freight, distri-
button and profits of the middleman.
The range Of prices in April to the
farmer who produces milk varied
Z throughout the United States.
In New England the farmer got from
8 to 10 cents quart; in the east north
central states they got from to 8
7 cents In the west north central states
from to cents; in the south Allan
tic states from to Is cents; in the
east south central region from to
cents; in the west south central states
from 6 to IL cents; in the mountain
states from 6 to cents, and in the
Pacific states from 4 to 9 cents per
quart.
