NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Farming
In New York City, except In some of
the outlying areas of Quocus and
Brooklyn Boroughs, has long been a

the handicap of inodorn improve

been strikingly revealed In the re
port of the Mayor's Committee on
food gardens, shoeing Umt nearly
12.000 small gardens and l.G.'iD
acres In large plots produced this
seuson a crop of vegetables estimated
to be worth Jii75.u0.
