The harrowing, plowing and all nec
essary preparation for the cultivation
: were carried on by t Xi association, and
about one-sixth of nn acre was turned
over to each family. The families
spread the fertilizer, planted the seed,

ered their mature produce. They took
to their homes what was necessary for
(their tables and sold the surplus, In
isnring fresh vegetables for home con
sumption and a snug income.
The association plans to carry on this
work the coming summer, and they are
overwhelmed by the new applications
received daily .from those anxious to
raise crops. ,
Owners of vacant lots In Kansas

bor oa the owner's part can get some
Information as to how It hut h tnn
by communicating with the home gar
'deoing committee of . the City club.
The committee, which obtained such
Ijcood results last yenr, now is prepar
ing. for Its spring campaign, which Is
'to( be opened with a general cleanup
of tracts that can be cultivated by
volunteer labor.
"It's Just as easy," Mr. Winsborough
said, "to grow vegetables on a vacant
lot as It is to grow tin cans and ashes,
and we will leave it to the owner to
say which crop makes the best appear
ance and enhances most the value of
his land."
Selection of vegetables which it will
be worth while to grow under condi
tions unfavorable as to soil requires
study and patience. Experience in
gardening under such conditions has
proved the following vegetables to be
profitable in the order here given: '
First, the round red radishes, which
should be sown in a row not more
than fifteen feet long at one time or
there will be more than can well be
disposed of.
Next, the loose leaf lettuces, notably
the Hanson variety. Make sowings a
month- apart to obtain succession. To
matoes are profitable next in order.
Set out tomato plants if it Is possible
to get them. They can be easily raised
In a hotbed, rrune them when a good
Icrop is set so they will ripen.
