K ;! 2 In tiielr gardens during the season of 1917. This I profit was niado by 1,708 children j who continued their work through out the year and of which number 1,131 received diplomas from their supervisors. Tlio greatest amount realized from a single garden was $25 and the leant was $1.50. The figures were made up by the agricul tural couimitluo of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, which Inau gurated tlio campaign and carefully fostered it. Aside from tho easli valuo of the gardening is tho fact that tho child ren had instructive employment and parents also became Interented In gn. I'd onlng. Early in tho season attention' was given to canning and demonstrations wore given in school buildings by supervisors. The one porlral cold pack method recommended by the U. S. Department of Agriculturo was lined in tho demonstration. Inter est was aroused among housewives and many requests came In for npec lal demonstrations. Women's clubs also became Interested. ' It lu im possible to estimate the amount of roduclH put In jars as a result of this campaign, but It l.i certain a largo amount of factory canned pro ducts wore released for government needs. 1!
