Nebraska Boys and Girls Make
One Acre Yield Five
Hundred Dollars.
HOME - SCHOOL GARDEN
Lincoln, Jan. 27. (Special.) Some
2,222 Nebraska boys and girls took
part in home-school garden clubs con
ducted by the agricultural extension
service of the University of Nebraska
in co-operation with the United
States Department of Agriculture,
with schools, and with the children's
own parents. This work was carried
on in twenty-five towns in 1916.
As a result of this work 1,25
back yards of the state produced a
garden, and 345 vacant lots that for
merly grew nothing but weeds sup
plied vegetables for the table. One
hundred and seventy persons acted as
local leaders, and 9,371 children and
adults received instruction in garden
ing and canning as a result of the 387
demonstrations held. Also 150 garden
club picnics were held, the total at
tendance being 5,212.
I Receipts Good.
Of (the 2.222 children who started
the work, 1,405, or 63 per cent, had
determination enough to complete the
job, even to the last detail of sub
mitting a written report and a finan
cial report showing profit or loss for
the year. The total receipts from the
kiddies' gardens in twenty-four towns
was $11,745.40, in addition to $1,781.13
Worth of canned products, making a
total income of $13,536.53.
A profit of almost $500 an acre, or
$1.13 per 100 square feet, was the
average profit made by children whose
financial statement showed balances
on the right side of the ledger.
Most of the towns in which garden
club work was carried on offered
school credit, and as a result 1,005
boys and girls received recognition in
the school room for their work. The
workers in charge of the project try
to interest both teachers and parents
in the work, and much of the work
is done in the home. This branch of
extension service work has been de
scribed as the "connecting link" be
tween home and school.
Plans are being made to co-operate
with additional towns desiring to take
up the work this year.
