SPONSORS SEEK
MORE LAND FOR
RELIEF GARDENS
Owners Urged to Donate
Unused Plots Prior
to April |.

Appeal for additional offers Of
ground for the use Of the Indian
apohs relief gardens has been made
by Mrs. Perry O'Neal, in charge OF
the community gardens center.
More garden space will be needed
this year than was available last
year. according to Mrs. O'Neale. In
comparison with last years gardens,
which numbered 1000, she expects
applications for 10000 garden plots
this year Many of last years gar
deners already have applied for
ground, while many new applicants
have added their names to the lists,
Mrs. ONeal said.
Seed will be distributed by the
commission on unemployment relief
April l. Because of the short tins
remaining, Mrs O'Neal is appealing
to all owners of ground available
for gardens to offer it before that
time
Seven thousand pickles, four
bushels of potatoes, four bushels of
green peppers, and enough vegetable
from which 400 quarts we're canned
for winter use, we're raised last year
by one man on a plot of ground
about 50X150 feet. In addition to
this, he was able to raise all the
fresh vegetables needed for family
of seven.
The average market value of the
gardens raised last year under the
direction of the garden center
amounted to sos per family. This
average is expected to be raised this
year, with experience gained from
last summers efforts.
Included in the list of persons
who have offered space for gardens
are the following:
Thomas L. Sullivan, Mayor Sui
livans father, who has given eight
lots for gardens; G. V. Nelson,
eight lots; Y. W. c. A., eight lots;
Julian G. Ralston, seven lots; Will
liam M. Taylor, five lots; Grafton
Johnson. Greenwood, forty-three
lots; W. ]. Holiday estate, ten
acres; George @. Bruce and Tuttle
Bros, ten acres, and the Indian
apolis park board, twenty acres.
Some of the large tracts offered
last year have been offered again
this year, including the offer of
H. R. Banner, 100 lots in Mars Hill;
indianapolis Water Company, fif-
teen lots, and Butler university,
eighty acres.
These big tracts will be divided
into plots 5Ox1OO feet, the prepara-
ton of the plots and the blowing
of the ground to be done by CWA
labor this year.
Persons who had gardens in one
of these large tracts last year may
have the same garden space this
year, if they apply for the space
soon enough, Mrs. O'Neal said.

This bill which now goes to
the senate authorizes accept
ance Of foreign silver at a 10
to % per cent premium in ex-
change for American farm
SURPRISES. Silver thus ac-
copied would be used as back
ing for additional currency.
In contrast to the house action,
Mr.. Roosevelt's silver plans appear
unchanged since his monetary mes
sage to congress in January. He
recalled then that he had issued
Dec. 81 a proclamation for coinage
of newly mined silver and an in
crease in treasury reserves Of silver
bullion.
This proclamation conformed
with the London conference silver
agreement signed by sixty-six ma
lions including all principal silver
producing and silver using countries.
Mr.. Roosevelt is convinced the
London conference agreement, if
made effective by necessary rati-
fications will lead to "a marked in
crease in the use and value of sill
yer" He considers the London
agreement a step toward interna-
tional monetary agreement which
is his ultimate objective.
Presidents Message Definite
But Mr.. Roosevelt does not in
tend to be stampeded into any new
silver programs. His monetary
message was definite in that re-
spect, as follows:
Governments can we'll, as they
have in the past, employ silver as
basis for currency, and l look Tor
greatly increased use. l am, how
ever, withholding any recommended
tions to congress looking to further
extension of the monetary use OF
silver because 1 believe that we
should gain more knowledge OF the
results of the London agreement
p and our own monetary measures.
The London agreement, if and
when ratified, will pledge all ma
tions for four years to refrain from
melting or debasing silver coins,
provide for replacement of small
value paper currency with silver,
and forbid further legislation de-
preciating the world value of silver.
Silver producers would agree to alb
sorb specified quantities of their
domestic production and countries
possessing large silver boards would |
be restricted in the quantities they
might sell.
PostpOnement Move Alleged
Ratification by all signatories is
to be effective April l, but, failing
that, it may be continued in effect
by such signatories as have ratified.
All silver producers except Peru
have ratified or taken steps to that
end.
Canada and Mexico have begun
but have not completed ratification.
Pending developments under this
agreement the administration hopes
to stalemate the silver issue.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
Dem, MontD, bitterly complains
that Professor James Harvey
Rogers, administration monetary
adviser, is being sent to China
largely to postpone the silver show
down. Mr.. Rogers will leave this
week to study the effect of silver
prices on Characterization trade.
Six weeks is the minimum for the
round trip and two months III
China. would not be excessive. Mr..
Rogers probably will be back by the
fourth of July. Perhaps Mr..
Wheeler is right.

BAT
At .312 CLIP

A glance at batting averages
goes far toward understanding
why George Washington Uni
versity's baseball team has been
enjoying a successful season.
AS a team the Colonials are
pounding the ball at a .312 clip,
led by Marshall Melpolder,
newly installed regular left
fielder whose mark is 500 for
IL attempts.
Everett Russell, star third
baseman, has made the most
hits for the Buff and Blue, col
lecting 13 in 80 trips plate
ward for an average Of .406.
Bill Albert, right fielder, is
next in line with a record of
.345, while every other regular
is hitting 300 or better.
The Colonials, who have won
their last five games, play two
games this week, meeting Wash
ington College in a return game
at ChestertoWn, Md. on Friday,
and Penn State College here on
Saturday.
Following are the batting
averages.
