Watts, Hugh Fred, George Fraser and H. C. Weaver. Capt. Stulz announced that the De- partment of Agriculture has approved the plan of the club to relinquish fur- ther use of the gardening plot in Poto- mac Park which the club has used in previous vears and to transfer its activi ties to Benning tract, sixty acres lo- cated just soutwest of Benning bridge. We think we will be able to give each gardener considerably more ground this vear than has been possible previously because of the increased size {of the ground at our disposal,” said | Capt. ulz, “and we also are expecting to take in a few new members. At present the number is nearly 500 and we can accommodate as many as 600 on this tract.” As soon as the ground is in condition and weather permits, the club members will start their digging activities. The members of the board of directors will meet at Capt. Stulz’s home some time within the next two weeks to assign { various members to the necessary com- | mittees to carry out the work syste- matically. i S !
