SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 17.
School children of Spokane earned
a gross profit of $10,248 and a net
profit of C. 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.
