LITTLETENEMENT FARMER
NEW YOHK, May 21. Hero Is -
little tenement farmer of the alutm

know that turnips grew In the
ground nor that tomatoes were r-""i
laid like eggs till bo learned It frou
a public school teacher. Thoro aro

thousands, like him In New York.
This little farmer was caught by ".he
camera man In Do Witt Clinton yi ..
one of those In which CHTIdrM'. of
tho tenements aro being taught
something about the earth and what
It can produce.
Tho Ignorance of these children In
everything but tho wisdom of the
slums Is appalling. They live 'n

occupying thrco rooms. Thu nre
