University Professor Urges
Community Gardening in City
Community gardening as a means
of promoting "war gardening" in
Omaha is a plan urged by Prof. G. W.
Hood, head of the truck farming de
partment, University of Nebraska,
who is giving a series of lectures at
the Burgess-Nash company store this
week.'
Prof. Hood estimates that more
than 2,000 acres are available for the
war gardens of Omaha. Cultivation
of an acreage of this size offers enor
mous possibilities, he declares.
"Surveys two years ago show that
an acre in lettuce, beets and radishes
brought $1,600," he .said. "Two
thousand acres cultivated as gardens
would bring in hundreds of thousands
of dollars and would gain a twofold
objective reduce the high cost of
living and serve to relieve the food
shortage."
Prof. Hood spoke at the Burgess
Nash store Friday afternoon and he
will speak again Saturday afternoon.
