It Is Often Means of Saving
Labor Costs.
Farmer Enabled to Determine Number
of Days Necessary to Produce
an Acre of Any Crop, or for
Care of Animals.

(Prepured by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Keeping a record of farm labor does
not require much time, yet it is often
the means of saving labor costs. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture has found such records of
great value in the cases of many farm
ers whose experience has come TO its
notice. The labor records should
show just how much man labor and
team work is required on each crop
and the season when it is used. They
should show what proportion of the
labor is devoted to work that di-
rectly produces income, and the
amount that is consumed by odd jobs
or indirectly productive tasks.
This will enable the farmer to de-
termine the number of days of man
labor and horse labor necessary to
produce an acre of any crop, or for
the care of any class of animals for
Il year. Thus he may be able to re-
arrange his system of management so
that he can get along with less labor
and, Mt the same time, maintain pro-
ductiOn.
A years labor records show, also,
just how much man power and horse
power is necessary to run the entire
farm at different seasons. and point
out accurately just what are the re-
quirements of the rush seasons. With

PLAN OUTLINED FOR ORGANIZING
CLUBS TO PROMOTE GARDEN WORK

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The United States Department of
Agriculture and the state colleges of
agriculture are frequently asked for
the best method of organizing for gar
den work. Among the most success
full city, town and village Organiza-
tions, those that are organized on
cooperative basis, including all
branches of the local government, the
citizens associations, the merchants
and other business mems associations,
also schools and churches have proven
most effective. In order, however, TO
centraliZe the direction of the work
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture advises that special gar
den committee or governing board be
appointed. Under the direction of
this committee, or board, all matters
pertaining to securing the use of land
the purchase of seeds, fertilizers,
plants and other materials are ham
died and the general supervision of
the garden work maintained.
Formation of Club.
Where the work has not already
been started, the formation of the or
ganizatiOn should be perfected before
the garden season begins, ana all ar
rangements for the use of land and
the purchase of materials cOnsum-
mated before they will be wanted.
Someone, usually public-spirited cit
izen, who can spare time for the work,
should be appointed as director or

of the board. A membership
fee of 80 cents to 81 is frequently paid
by those who plant gardens and who
receive benefit from the organization.
In some cases a special trained gar
den leader has been hired to give in
formation and help to those who need
it. Very often this supervisor has
been employed for a few months only,
but this type of supervision pays, pro-
vided the person, employed under
stands his business. In most cases
prizes have been offered by the mer-
chants and business interests, first,
for the best individual gardens, both
in back yards and on vacant land,
and, second, for the various products
of the gardens. Usually an exhibit
is held at some convenient time during
Ghe latter part of the garden season,
and a contest between the gardeners
is staged. These exhibits and con-
tests have been of wonderful value in
promoting a spirit of rivalry to pro-
duce the best. AS a rule, however,
the gardeners have considered the gar
den products as they came upon their
home tables the greatest reward for
their efforts.
Where a group of gardens is located
on one piece of land it is often neces-
sary to provide special means for
financing the clearing. plOwing and fit
ting the soil and later for policing the
gardens to prevent losses, either from
stray live stock or from theft. The
fees collected from each gardener TO
cover these costs have varied in diff
ferent instances from 81 to So per gar
den, but rarely more than So. ANY
funds that are left in the treasury at
the end of the season can be used for
promoting the garden movement the
following year or returned to the gar
denerS.
Success. in organizing city, town or
village garden work depends upon lead
ership, and the harmonious working
together of all concerned. One of the
most successful garden clubs of which
there is record is governed by board
of nine directors who are elected an

nually by ballot. The directors elect
chairman, secretary and treasurer,
who constitute the officers of the club.
This club has been in existence for
several years and has grown stronger
in its organization each year.
The formation of clubs consisting of
those who plant gardens in their back
yards is a little more difficult and
must include provision for rendering a
distinct service to it's members This
service may consist of the purchase
of manure or fertilizers, blowing the
back yards, and supplying early
plants or seeds. The gardeners must
be made to feel that they are getting
something in return for their partici-
patton in the club and the payment of
dues, otherwise little interest will be
taken in the organization.
Cooperative Spraying.
In few instances the spraying of
crops to control insects and diseases
has been handled in a cooperative
way, using power sprayers which go
over the gardens at such stated inter-
walls as may be necessary for good re-
suits. These power sprayers are
simply driven into the alleys, and
lines of hose discharging the spray
mixture carried into the gardens. In
this way effective spraying can be
secured at less cost than if the gar
deners provided spray equipment to
do the work themselves. There are
numerous other ways in which back

TRY NEW GARDEN VARIETIES
Excellent Plan to Test Out Recently
Introduced Plants in Addition to
Old Ones.

Most gardens are large enough to
enable the gardener to try few new
varieties each spring. This is a good
idea. 1t is hardly safe, nor is it true
generally, that the old, tr1ed varieties
are the best that can be had. There
are many new varieties being intro
duced every year and why not test out
few in addition to the old favoriteS? :?

Reckoned in actual dollars paid to
