GARDENING INTEREST GROWS
$50 st. Louis Men and Women to
Study In Garden Project.

Men and women in north st. Louis
county apparently are becoming con-
WINGED that the farm vegetable gar
den is about the most valuable spot
on the farm and that it returns a
greater income for the time and
money invested than any other area
Of land. Miss HELEN M. Gillette,
home demonstration agent, bases the
foregoing statement on the fact that
nearly $50 gardeners plan to study
vegetable growing under her dirac-
ton this spring.
The garden project consists of four
lessons which will be given on the
local leader training plan from Febru-
airy through May. Topics will include
study Of soils, seeds and the value
Of fertilization; the planting and care
of the garden with attention to weed,
disease and insect control; canning
vegetables, together with causes of
spoilage and standards used in stor-
age of canned foods: vegetable bud
get for the family; and harvesting and
storing the garden crop.

not only brings better income, but
distributes labor to better advantage
than grain farming. Only about one
third of his farm is plowed and put
