Fifty Families Granted Places to Grow

Room for More.
So prompt ami numerous have been
the application for ghrdcii plots on ihe
old liurke farm; in the llrohx. now a
part of the Astor estate, since the an
nounceincni was made on behalf of
lite estate that plots might be bad by
lite poor and unemployed tor cultiva?
tion during the summer without
charge, that more than fifty families
have already been granted places on
the farm, and it is expected that be?
fore June all the available ground will
be taken up.
Upon the ground already taken the
applicant!!, who comb mostly from the
thickly populated sections of tin- city,
have begun tu plant various kinds of
vetgfttahlen, ami ibelr gardens show a
creditable amount of skill. It is esll
mated that the balance of Die ground
will accommodate at least fifty fami?
lies'. The work ol apportionment la
being done as rapidly as practicable.
Mr. Helton Hall, of !I3 Enal Sixty
fit st strei t, who announced on behalf
of the Astor est a I e that ihe land
would be available for the use of the
poor, has been daily in receipt of let
t> rs in praise of the scheme, from
persons of all conditions. One letter,
from a woman, is a fair sample of
others. H stated:
j '?Having read of your kind and gen?
erous plan to aid the poor by giving
them a garden plot lo work, and know?
ing SO much of your kindness and In?
terest in the poor, I venture to appeal
to you lor one of the plots, h would
be jiisl lite helping baud wo m ed. We
buve a large family to support; there
are six children and my husband ami
myself, anil it is so very hard to gel
along in the city, where Hie rent:; are
bo high, and a family with children is
not wanted anywhere. I have often
prayed for just such an opportunity
8S you offer, and 1 hope we shall have
a chance to show our gratitude by do?
ing everything in our power to make S
