 Employees of the American Thread company have accepted the oppor tunity offered them to have gardens [ of their own this summer. Wednes- | day it became known that 1S0 out of | the 235 lots available had already been l spoken for. These lots, which meas ire 100x50 feet, are plowed and made i ready for planting by the Thread company, and each lot owner is charged s1 for the work. All seed and necessary articles for farming are the employees at actual cost and this last offer of the company takes in those employees who cultivate the company tracts and those who own property of their own.
 When the gardens were first start ed in 1917 James Smith was appointed supervisor over them, and his know
 
 starting gardens. MT. Smith will su pervise again this season. He will also have charge of the truck garden which is operated by the company for The Films, where some T5 women employees of the company make their homes. A tract of land at Recreation park has been plowed and made ready for use by the children of the employees. Land and seed for these gardens are being furnished free of 1 cha ge by the company and the chil- dren will have the aid. of Charles Bradley in their farming work. These gardens worked by the em- ployes of the company yielded over sS.000 in produce during the season of l 1919. meaning vast amount saved during the year.
