RAISE VEGETABLES
Home and School Garden
Association Planned Pri
marily for Children
Steps have been taken toward the or
franization of the Birmingham home and
school garden association. Ten thousand
membership cards have been printed and
will be circulated throughout the city this
meek.
Primarily It is intended to reach the
young people of the city, though it in no
sense confines membership to children.
The membership card calls for a pledge
to plant trees, vines, shrubs, flowers or
vegetables, and to carefully care for the
same, and to make report to the associa
tion of the work done. The first step in
organization is to organize the various
school centers. These centers will send
delegates to the general governing body.
Meetings are to be held in the council
chamber at the city hall. An executive
committee has been named consisting of
K. A. Smith, A. L. Reese, J. D. Williams,
G. G. Weathersbee and C. A. Brown.
Commissioner Ward is president of the
general association, with rvhirh all local
associations will be affiliated.
An expert estimates that there is a pos
sible one and a half million dollars in
vegetables not now being raised in Bir
mingham which could be raised with the
aid of the children of the city and on
vacant lots, yards, and acreage property.

THE “GRAND CANON”
—Photo by Birmingham View Co.
A scene from one of the pages of
the new “Birmingham, the Beautiful"
booklet, which .Secretary W. C. Rad
cliffe is preparing. The booklet, it was
announced yesterday, would be ready
for distribution by January 3.
About 60,000 of these booklets will
be printed. It will be essentially a Bir
mingham product as the printing, bind
ing. photography and engraving will
be done in this city.
It was decided several weeks ago by
the Chamber of Commerce to make an
active bid for some of the “tourist
trade" which is the crux of winter bus
iness for many of seaboard southern
cities and th© scenic booklet is the re
sult.
The booklet is made up of views of
the streets, buildings and residential
sections of Birmingham. There are also
several views of the beauties of the
environs of the Magic City. The scene
above is looking east on First avenue
from the Chamber of Commerce build •
ing and shows the “Grand Canyon," as
Secretary Radcliffe has called that
part of First avenue with its tower
ing high buildings.
The booklets will be distributed by
the “Dixie Dines,” who shared with the
Chamber of Commerce the expense of
preparing this illustrated magazine of
the charming spots of this city. Every
railroad office in the large northern !
cities will have a supply of the book- !
lets on hand and large benefits are j
anticipated for Birmingham through
this country-wide advertisement.
