By LESTER S. IVINS, Regional Director for Centra! States. , k Washington ? The United States A - school garden army, organized at the W request of President Wilson to stiniuf late food production among, the children of the country, as well as to give them an opportunity to utilize their amovn tima 1t? a nl?iQ?nnt 1 t UUiV ?u ?4 Vkuv. r manner, enlisted 1,680.000 garden soldiers In the United States during the year 1918. This number represents the boys and girls in cities, towns and villages who actually planted, cultivated and harvested crops at their rhome or on grounds under school supervision. Many more than this number started, but only those pupils who did the work satisfactorily were granted the government U. S. S. G. ii* 1 signia as a recognition of their work. The average profit was a little more than $10 per pupil, or $16,800,000 for the entire army. This amount represents both the fresh and canned goods used and sold. The average amount - - -a J 01 rood cannea was uue uuscu ymi cans per pupil. ; ' , This profit was produced on land which would not otherwise have been used and by children in many cases who would not have been otherwise employed. This food was in mos1 cases consumed while fresh, where produced, without cost of transportation or handling and without deterioration on the market Considering these facts, th* real results are of greater value than the figures would indicate. More Gardens This Year. Reports from more than one-hall of the towns and cities that were not organized under the federal plan ir 1918 indicate they will be a part ol the United States garden army in 1919. Many cities and towns had gardens, but the superintendents of schools for various reasons did not have the children to organize along the lines of the r\1n?% XJ rtTtrnirAW icuerai naiucu euuj ^iau. xxuncTd, it should be added that these com rawflties did a "great amount of wort toward increasing food production in their localities. The garden work is one of the firsl educational movements in the state and nation that has been enthusiastically ' ?? ?i 1 ii : i.: t supponeu vy sciiuui auiuunues iu puulie, parochial and private schools. All these school systems joined in manj| localities and employed the same gar | den supervisor and garden teachers The garden division of the bareat / o{ education was greatly increased last September by the employment ol assistant regional directors for all th : states and some spctfal state reprei ^ sentatives for the state conncil of defense in many of the stales. These additional helpers make it possible tc j do more intensive work.
