GARDEN CLUB TO FIGHT H. C. L.

Evansville, Indiana, "March 2. A blow has been struck at the high cost of living by the local Garden club. This organization hopes to interest both school children and adults in the cultivation of land inside the city limits. The gardens will be divided into three classes. One of them will be the school experimental garden, /vacant lots near city schools, and school teachers will have charge of the children working these. The second class of gardens will be those in back yards under the supervision of assistant supervisors. The third class will be made up of adults who have no vacant land of their own. The Garden club had appealed to owners of vacant lots tor their use, and many have been donated. The club even agrees to plow and harrow the land and lend it free of charge. .
