The plan is to have the land pre-
pared and to charge gardeners SO a
plot for its preparation. This is
estimated to be actual cost, although
cost to an individual would be much
more II he had the work done him
self. There is no ceiling on plowing
and possessors of plows, teams and
the "know-how" are now advertising
to plow land at $40 an acre. The
cost OF So plot is to be charged to
discourage fair weather gardeners. y
