There were 25 exhibits of potatoes, 22 of tomatoes, and 6 of corn. These vege- tables were grown on plots of land containing a hundred square feet, and the exhibits showed that very careful Aand intelligent work had been done by_the children. The 25 children who raised potatoes raised a total dof 1S bushels, making an average yleld equal to 224 bush. els per acre. This is considerably above the average vield of the state of Connecticut for the year 1915 and shows that there are wonderful pos- sibilities in potatoes. The children cared for these garden plots In their spare time during the summer and charged up their time against the crop at 5 cents per hour. They kept account of every item of cost on record blanks furnished by the county agent, and the profit on some of these ten foot square potato gardens was as high as $1.50.
