MESS GROWING
OWN FOODS HERE
Fertile River Flats Used in
Self-Help Plan for Needy
Families.
Out on the flats along the Anacostia
River in Ruining unemployed men and
needy families are preparing to grow
their own diets in just the proper
proportions to carry them through most
of the Summer.
They are growing their family gar
den truck on land furnished by the
Government, with seeds supplied by the
Garden Committee of the District Em
ployment Committee, and with tools and
advice also free and plentiful.
There are approximately 133 plots of
ground, each containing 5.000 square
feet of rich truck growing ground, and
most of these are already beginning to
show signs of the life that is expected
to be transformed into energy to keep
the unemployed active in their search
for employment and their families in
health.
Foods Planned Carefully.
Each plot is divided scientifically into
14 divisions, with each division allotted
to a particular kind of garden truck, so
that each family will have the sort of
provender that will do it the most good
There is a goodly portion set aside
for sweet potatoes, which, according to
the supervisor of the gardens, is mighty
fine food for the workingman. Then
there is another good sized plot for corn,
also recommended for energy produc
tion. Other vegetables included In the
list are black-eyed peas, onions, pole
beans, tomatoes, bush beans, cabbage,
carrots, Swiss chard, radishes, turnips,
beets and Summer squash.
When a crop has been harvested, ac
cording to the plan, its place will be
taken either bv a second crop of the
same vegetable or by some other ap
proved vegetable.
Headed by Mrs. Frederick H. Brcoke.
the committee in charge of the gardens
is furnishing plots to men sent it by
the Associated Charities, the Catholic
Charities and the Salvation Army.
These men are required to do all the
work on their plots and give attention
to the growing plants. If they do not,
the plots are taken from them and
given to some one more deserving.
Enough for Three Families.
It is estimated by the committee that
each plot will artuallv produce enough
garden truck to feed three families, and
the plantings have been worked out
scientifically to provide the gardeners
with vegetables which will mature at
such intervals as to allow harvesting
throughout the Summer.
The expert advice on growing is sup
plied by the Department of Agriculture
through W. R. Beatty. A competent
supervisor is on the grounds at all
times to see that the rules are followed,
that the plots are properly attended to,
and to give advice on planting.
Practically all of the plots now cleared
and marked oil for cultivation have
been taken, but more will be available
for deserving men who seek them, the
committee states.
