exiitnplo, hy tho way r htivu hehiivrd iihottt food
durliiK tho lust two yours.
When wo entered tho wnr wc woro tho hpt fed
pooplo on on rlh and hud horn for ciicrutlonx. An
Incldt'iitnl proof of this Is that tho American .sol
dier nHtrtilslifil Europe with u now physical typo,
tho result of favornhlo conditions of life mid ado
finite, food. And this now physical typo proved
Itself a little huskier and hurdler mid deadlier nt
the business of killing than any previous typo of
mini.
Hut when we entered the wur, nt the inpre sub
Kcstlon of the necessity that faced us, the 110.000.
000 of us curbed our appetites, denied ourselves
Roodles, put ourselves on rntlinis and started In
'pon honor to conserve 'food and stuck to It till
the necessity was pnst. It was u most astonishing
spectacle.
Not only thnt. but millions of us voluntarily
started In to- make Burdens and raise food. Many
of these voluntary gardeners hnrdly knew a spnde
from a boo; some probably thought that potatoes
grew in the grocery store. Certainly lots of these
gardeners hud no land. Hut It made no difference.
The American people went to gardening. From
the Atlantic to the Pacific the war gardens of tho
workers stretched In utmost unbroken line. The
cotton mills of the East, the lumber camps of Ore
gon, the mining towns of. Arizona, the great fac
tories of the middle West, tho shipyards of Texas
till snw the upspringwig of Innumerable war gar
dens. The second summer snw the first redoubled.
It's too soon for'u-s to begin to appreciate what
this war rationing and this war gardening has done
In winning the war, feeding the world nnd bene
lltlng the American people. Hut anyone Inter
ested In getting a first glimpse nt what this gar
dening has done for us should get hold of a book
just out, "The Wnr Garden Victorious." by Charles
Lathi op Pack. It Is not for sale, but It Is being
distributed to libraries, and to organizations and
Individuals identified with wnr garden work. Mr.
Pack Is the organizer nnd president of the national
war garden commission and his book Is a record
of war garden activities and successes, dedicated
"to the war gardeners of the United States and
allied countries In admiration of their success In
adding to tho world's supply of fooxl during the
world's war." Mr. Pack fittingly presented the
first copy to an American woman who Is typical of
the spirit that made the war garden victorious
Mi". Thomas IM wards of Olierlin, O, She Is ninety-live
years of age, but she enlisted with tho
war gardeners nt the llrst call nnd showed she
was not too U'ld to learn by changing her life-long
methods and adopting the cold-jmck method of
cunning.
Co-operation Wins Victory.
Some people might .think u book of record nnd
reference on war gardens must necessnrlly bo dull
reading. This me Isn't. It's good reading. Any
real American cut get patriotic thrills out of It
besides learning n lot. Mr. Pack Is not laboring
under the delusion that his national war gulden
commission was tho whole thing. lie knows It was
thr loyal co-operation of the people that inado the
war garden such a splendid success.
Mr. Puck also appreciates what tho press of tho
country did for the movement. He knows thnt all
tho purpose, all the enthusiasm, all of the ability
of those In charge of the commission's activities
might have been tho sweetness of effort wasted on
the desert air of Indifference had not the Ame'rlcnn
press got behind tho movement with nil Its power.
The closing chupter is devoted to an Illuminating
account of tho tremendous enthusiasm with which
tho American dally and periodical press responded
to the opportunity, and how tho publicity material
was prcparetl and distributed.
"Tho printed word, tho most powerful forco
known to civilization, mndo wnr gardens possible.
In no other way could they have been mado to
multiply so rapidly In nil parts of tho lund. From
printer's Ink to pnrsnlps und pursley Is a long
jump; but tho newspapers and magazines mndo
that Jump along with tho others which they made
for Llbprty loan, tho Red Cross, and various other
war-work campaigns. How much of a debt of
grntltudo tho nation owes to It patriotic editors It
probably will never bo nblo to reallzo fully, but It
does know that without their wholehearted sup
port nnd their loynl assistance It would never
huVo been able to arouse the people of tho United
States as n whole to tho strenuous efforts which
they exerted to bnck up tho government mid tho
fighting forces. No noto of appreciation to tho
editors of tho country could he overgeneroiis In Its
prulse or too liberal In Its expression of heartfolt
thanks for their substantial aid,"
War Garden Commission.
That tho world faced o deficit In food and thnt
there existed unyemergency which could bo met
only by the raising of more food, wus uppurent
during the early mouths of 1017.
rx masspwwas, 9S,o&&ev, cwo
Mr. Pack wishing to do n war work which wns
actually necessary, which wus essentlnlly practical
and which would certainly aid In making the war
successful, conceived the Idea In March, 1017, of
Inspiring the peoplo of the United States to plant
war gardens In order to Increase the supply of
food without the use of land already cultivated, of
labor already engaged In agricultural work, of
tlmo devoted to other necessary occupations, nnd
of transportation facilities which were already
Inadequate to the demands made upon them.
Ho thereupon organized the national war gnrden
commission, it wns not u federal government
body, though It wus indorsed by tho administra
tion, and tho quartermaster general's olllce co
operated with It at soldiers' camps. The commis
sion consisted of Charles Lnthrop Pack, president,
of New Jersey; Luther Htirlmnk, California; P. P.
Claxtwi, United States commissioner of education,
Washington. I). C; Dr. Charles W. Ullot. Massa
chusetts; Pr. Irving Fisher, Yale university, Con
necticut; Fred II. Gaff, Ohio; .lohn Hays Ham
mond, Massachusetts; Fairfax Harrison, Vlrglnln;
Myron T. Ilerrick, Ohio; President John Grler lllb
ben, Princeton university, New Jersey; Kmcroon
McMlllIn, New York; A. W. Shaw, Illinois; Mrs.
John Dickinson Sherman, chairman if the con
servntlon department of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, Illinois; dipt. J. H. White, Mis.
sourl; Hon. James Wilson, former secretary of ag
riculture, Iowa ; Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Carl Vroonmn (for tho year 1017) ; P. S. Hldsdule,
executive secretary, who was also executive secre
tary of the American Forestry association, with
tty conservation department of which the com
mission was iiflllluted, and Norman C. McLoud,
associate secretary. Mrs. Sherman also was ap
pointed by the department of the Interior n special
assistant director, In charge of women's organi
zations, of tho United States school garden army,
with which the commission was In close coopera
tion. "Put the slncker land to work" was the first slo
gan of the commission. Wnr gardens are essen
tially family-power Institutions. Hut big business
caught the spirit of the hour mid capitalized tho
enthusiasm of numbers and the healthy rivalry of
teams by establishing community gardens financed
by It nnd worked by Its employees. Tho rullrouds
went big business one better; the children of tho
nutlon put It ovor both of these; "daylight saving"
gave them nil a chance to tako time by tho fore
lock; while preserving kettles, canning clubs and
dehydration plnnts ull contributed their several
shares In tho saving of tho fruits of the national
endeavor.
Results Are Amazing.
Tho results were nmnztng. The 1017 wnr gnr
dens numbered npproxlmntely 8,500,000, nnd their
food products aro estlmnted at S3!0,000,000. Tho
1018 reports show R,28!j,000 gardens and food prod,
ucts of 525,000,000. Tho llrst season 500,000,000
quarts of vegetables and fruits were entitled; lu
1018 tho number Incrensed to 1,450,000,000 qunrts.
This, of course, Is but a small part of tho story.
It needs such a book as this to show us how many
other thin there are to the story, as, for lnstnnco,
the releasing of many kinds of labor and tho
lessening of railroad congestion. Tho book gives
nn Interesting picture of n mighty host, many mil
lions strong, gaining new strength and revlgornted
health by handling tho hoe, and getting exerclso ns
good as golf and tennis, more profitable than
either and more patriotic than both. Tho gardens
they tilled ranged from u neglected, weed-mastered,
rubbish-Uttered vacant lot to a city park.
Tho boys at Camp DIk wont over tho top as gar
deners at home before they got their opportunity
to go over tho top as crusaders In tho glorious
cause of human liberty abroad.
Then there Is the social as well ns the domestic
side. Community gardening, for Instmice, Is prac
tically the only method by which nil available
garden space ma be put to work, by which labor
may bo mint etllclently employed, by which econ
omy In purchasing (tower may be best exercised
and by which It Is possible to secure expert super
vision. Hut these things are mutorlul. There Is a
value beyond them, which ono finds recorded hero,
the vnlue of the community spirit us It murks tho
increasing solidarity of society.
A like vnlue Is also recorded In this volume In
Its description of the gardens established by many
large corporations and Industrial and transporta
tion concerns for their employees, resulting In a
feeling of fellowship not previously existing be
tween capital mid lubor.
The Illustrations really illustrate thetext Tho
series of striking posters used In tho publicity
campaign are reproduced In color. There tire 01
full-page Illustrations In hulf tone, many of which
are exceedingly Interesting. The small home gar
den In Marlon, which Is shown herewith, Is not
especially pictorial, but wus selected because It Is
a war garden typical of hundreds of thousands
seen tho country over und, let us hope, long to
be seen.
Victory Garden a Fixture.
Mr. Pack predicts that tho war garden now tho
victory gulden Is a fixture. The food conditions
of the world will make It necessary for many
yenrs, und during that tlmo the vnlue of garden
ing will have become so apparent that the move
ment will continue until It has become a fixed
habit und firmly Iniplnntcd In the lives of the peo
ple. Herein lies tho tremendous Importance of tho
United Stntes school garden nrmy, which already
bus n membership of nearly 4,000,000. For the
mobilization of the school children the logical
agency was the United Staton bureau of education
of the department of the Interior.. P. P. Clnxton,
United Stntes commissioner of education, ap
proached the undertaking with broad vision and
keen foresight characteristic of his administra
tion of educational affairs for tho federal govern
ment. Under bis guidance there came Into being
tho United States school garden army, moblllod
with effective promptness und swung Into nctlon
under the leadership of J. II. Francis as director.
Doctor Francis Is an educator of note who was
drafted Into this Important work by Commissioner
Clnxton, and he brought to bear on the enterprise
perception nnd aggressiveness which achieved re
sults of nuthmnl Importance In comparatively brief
time. President Wilson was keenly Interested In
the United States school garden army. Ills cordial
Indorsement was expressed In a letter to Secretary
Luno which served us the corner stone of the struc-turo-nnd
an Inspiration to tho children of Amerlcu.
From tho beginning tho commission und tho
school gnrden urmy hnvo worked In entire hnr
mony. The commission bus furnished tho urmy Its
publications, nnd has prepared special 1010 print
ings for Its exclusive use. Director Francis In tho
Introduction says tho mighty army of school chil
dren must help to get together tho two factors of
lelsuro time and patriotism and of thousands of
acres of uncultivated lands. Superintendents of
schools must make their schools a vital force in1
giving moro food to tho world nnd In conserving
what Is produced.
Secretary Lime's speclnf mossngo to tho school
gnrden army contains this forceful paragraph:
"Tho boys ami girls who lmvo liberty gurdens In
1010, tho garden nrmy officers who assist In keep
ing tho urmy efficient, nnd the teachers who direct
the work, will render n putrlotlc service to bo com
pared only to that of the men who won tho wur."
Mrs. Sherman says: "In the opinion of the 15,000,
000 members of the General Federation of Wom
en's ClulM there Is no other ono subject that will
give tho physical, mental nnd moral development
tu tho child thnt may come from learning to pro
duco food from tho soil. Wo ulso believe that gar
dening for children Is n purt of Hie school educa
tion of a child; that it ranks in iMportance with
reading, writing mid arithmetic, und thnt tho
schools nro the only agency equipped to handle the
subject In n comprehensive mid adequate manner.
Tho Niftlonnl Council of Women with tit) nntlonnl
organizations Is unnfjmous In Its support of gar
dening for children under school direction."
