throughout Oregon by which unem

through the cooperation of Ihe re
lief council of the state with the
Oregon State college extension ser
vice.
A state subsistanee garden com
mittee has been appointed by Paul
V. Maris, director of agricultural
extension and secretary of the re
lief council, and it has just issued
10,(MM) copies of a new leaflet which
contains planting plans and other
information for guiding Ihe inexper-
!enced gardener in producing a
score or more different vegetables
on a plot 60 by 100 feet.
Each county agent in the 28
counties maintaining them is pre
pared to give local assistance and
advice in adapting the recommenda
tions contained in this new leaflet
to the particular conditions prevail
ing in each county.
While Iree seed and free fertili
zer in some instances, are being
provided under the terms of money
granted by the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation, strict rules have
been issued lo prevent the abuse of
this privilege through issuing seed
to other thun duly registered un
employed persons.
“R. F. C. funds arc made avail
able for seeds and fertilizers with
the expectation that local agencies,
public and private, will cooperate in
such matters as making suitable
garden tracts, tools and equipment
available, and providing irrigation
j water when possible,” says Direc-
. tor Maris. ‘‘Only persons ‘willing
I and able’ to grow gardens are en
couraged to do so. As unemployed
| persons receiving relief are nol
' able to purchase adequate quantities
' of vegetables, subsistanee gardens
■ will not compete to any consider-
i able extent with farmers and truck
gardeners who have produced for
i sale.”
