pHAT the Portland school gardens
again will set the pace tor 1915
is the prediction of Garden Super
visor Weed, who has Just completed
the laying out of the plots for this
season. The actual planting by the
pupils Is the order of the day. The
gardens will follow along in much the
same manner as heretofore, but with
certain changes as improvements in
methods are worked out.
For one thing there will be no prizes
offered. Last year the pupils worked
for the prizes, with many disappointments,-of
course. Prizes, to a certain
extent, destroy the educational value
of the garden work, as they lead the
pupils away from the purpose of gar
dening. The educational value of the
gardens will be impressed upon the
pupils. Much can be learned in na
ture's grand outdoors in a garden.
Gardening shows the nobility of labor,
the processes of plant growth, the
value of the conservation of soil mois
ture, the object of cultivation and In
all ways many things regarding the
A, B. C of agriculture.
Wood I awn is to have no garden this
year. The land upon which this
famous garden has been grown is not
owned by the school district and can
not be rented this year except at a
price the Board would not consider.
Several lots across the road from the
Woodlawn School are being prepared
for a garden next year by being planted
into potatoes this year. But while the
people of the Woodlawn district are
disappointed in not having a garden
this year, other gardens will be bet
ter than last year, so that upon the
whole the gardens of the city will
make evert a better showing than here
tofore. At the Lev ellyn School, the garden
is located Uion school property just
back of the building, and from the
way the principal, Mrs. Allhands, is
taking hold this garden will be a
show place for visitors this year. The
garden is 200x75 feet and will hav-3
both vegetables and flowers. The
Montavilla garden also has been en
larged, the boys' garden club doing the
work of fencing, and the making of
hotbeds. The hotbeds were construct
ed a month ago and the young plants
are coming along nicely. Much of the
garden produce at Montavilla and
Brooklyn will be used in the school
canning, in the Brooklyn district many
of the vacant lots being used by the
boys in commercial gardening. At the
Kenton School hotbeds have been made
on the roof of the boiler-room, so that
the garden Idea can be carried out all
through the school year.
At the Stephens School the Boys'
Corn Club will be continued this year.

to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

next month so I took three more bottles
