ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE. THURSDAY. JULY 26. 1917. 17 Gardens That Will Produce Half-Million Dollars' Worth of Food Planted Here, It Is Estimated FIRST PRIZE IN GARDEN CONTEST GOES TO NUNDAO Oliadi and Ah wagaCoIonies Gain Second and Third.

Dr. Williams said, was due in great ANNUAL INDUSTRY CONTEST Results at State Industrial School Are Determined by Judges Much Interest Taken Boys in Work, "Which Gives Clew to Abilities lL7fl.M -TD HPH That the amateur gardener wag In earnest has been proved, according to the report made at a meeting: of the Monroe 'County Home Defense Committee yesterday by Dr. Italpli II. Williams, chairman of the Subcommittee on Foods and Markets. Dr.

Williams said that, as closely as he could estimate, 1113 gardens had been planted in Rochester and its suburbs. These range in size from the average backyard plot to the vacant lot of several acres. Dr. Wililams said -that a close idea of the value of the product had been obtained by asking a large number of gardeners to place a value on their crops at harvest. These values ranged from $40 to $75.

Fixing the average at $50 a garden, a total value of the garden products in the city and suburbs of upwards of a half million dollars -would be obtained. This presupposes fair weather for the rest of growing season. The estimates are based on retail prices. As the product will be consumed at the point of production, the usual transportation and handling charges and profits are eliminated, and these may justly be included in the value of the product.

Instead of being a campaign to educate people in the rudi ments of planting and caring for gardens, as the committee at first thought it would be, it has proved to be almost wholly a campaign of production by ex perienced growers. The chairman said that interest is well sustained and, so far as the committee is able to learn, the garden movement will be even more popular next year than it has been this. Referring to the food conservation campaign carried on by a subcommittee of the Foods and Markets Committee, of which Louis P. Willsea is chairman, the chairman reported that canning demonstrations are held twice a week at Convention Hall, at which the average attendance Is 254; that demonstrations are neld dally at Mechanics Institute; that demonstrations have been started at the Baden 8treet Settlement and at the Italian Settlement In Lelws street, and that other extension work in food conservation la contemplated.

Demonstrations also are being iheld regularly In public school building. No One Hurt Light Company were sent to cut off the wires in the manholes. The explosion affected telephone wires on the cable tEat ran through the manhole. Tire completely destroyed a gospel tent owned by J. D.

53 Clinton XL VTlien night fell over the great fields of Industry yesterday hundreds of tired and wme very happy fboys there were rady for their cots. It was the close of garden day for inmates of the State Agricultural and Industrial' School, and in the late afternoon and evening prizewinners were announced. Doubtlesa there were boys who went to bed' sadly disappointed that their garden didn't via the prizes, but they may have the consolation of knowing that bo many garden were first-class that it was difficult 'for the judges to decide among them. The gardens in Nundao colony "won the first prize. This is a high honor, for with thirty-one colonies competing, the contest is keen.

The second prize went to Ohadi, and the third to Ahwaga. News of the decisions was telephoned from one cottage to another. When the word came to Nundao that the boys there were first among the eight hundred of the school a great shout went up. Chaplain Loses to Boys. Rev.

J. J. Ganey, Catholic chaplain of the school, had much to do with this colony's success. lie told the boys of Nundao that if they won first prize he would give then fu, but that if they didn't, they were to give him two chick ens. ne result created mucn merriment among officers and pupils alike.

The boys enjoyed expressing their sympathy with Father Ganey over the loss of the chickens, when he Tode to the colony before supper and handed them an envelope bearing hia congratulations and containing five one-dollar bills. It is remarkable that, -while the membership of the colony isn't the same as it was last year, the boys who then were 'there were winners of the first prize on garden day. The year before the colony won second prize. No little pride was felt by Mr. and' Mrs.

Michael Mahcr, its supervisor and matron. First prize for the best individual garden iu Nundao' was awarded to Stephen llzzo. The judges gave the second prize to John Mouriski, and the third to Bales-laws Bekasinski. make the gardens and care for them is wholly optional -with the boys. It is not part of the regular work.

They five to the gardens only time that is their own for recreation. There are eight hundred boys in the school and each has a garden. Each colony is allowed twenty-five square rods for its garden plots one to a boy. The children are permitted to plant what they want and care for it as they like. They can use the land allotted to them either as a square or triangle or in any other shape they fancy.

Gardens Disclose Tastes. The tastes of the boys are disclosed In these gardens. No institutional authority hampers Individuality. It is believed that the little garden is many times an index of the character of tie gardener. In some love of flowers is shown, others are wholly utilitarian, containing only vegetables, while the care given each shows the boy's willingness to work and his perse erence, or the absence of those qualities.

The gardens that took prizes yesterday, far a. visited, contained both flowers ami vegetables. All of the thirty-one colonies, to Bay nothing of the individual gar dens, couldn't be visited on one trip. Mr. and Mrs.

Andrew Whalen are in charge of Abndi. which won second prize, and Mr. and Mrs. t'lyses Spink, of Ahwaga, winner of third prize. Stephen Ezzo, whose garden won first prize at Xundao, had in his piece of ground lettuce, carrots, table beets, radishes, tomatoes, spinach, string beans, peas, sweet corn and a border f.

marigolds. The awards are based on general appearance, cultivation and growth. Seeds fr certain vegetables and flowers are furnished by the state. Other kinds are bought by the boys with spending money they have earned or received from home, or they are provided by their Those Who "Were Judges.

High in Air; fumes which accumulated in a manhole at Main street west and Reynolds street "were ignited by cross-circuited wires early last night and caused an explosion that blew the iron cover of the manhole several feet in the air. Although a number of persons were walking on the sidewalk in the vicinity of the manhole, no one was injured. A flame made by the burning gas shot out of the manhole for several minutes. An aJarm was sent in from Main and Madison streets and Battalion-Chief Smith and companies responded.

The conviction of Thomas Perdue, 24 years old, of No. 71 Bronson avenue, in police court on February 24th on a charge of assault, third degree, alleged to have been committed on Mrs. Jennie Finzer, a nurse, of No, 121 Caledonia avenue, was reversed yesterday afternoon by County Judge Stephens. Judge Stephens holds that Perdue used just sufficient force to resist the attack made by the complainant.

It is established, according to Judge Stephens's decision, that the first blow was struck by Mrs. The complaining witness testified that she first struck the. defendant with her hand and then the latter gave her a severe blow in the face, and that she then, with a strap that she concealed in her muff and which she was accustomed to carry, continued the batter against him," writes Judge Stephens. "That thef complainant continued the attack with a strap after she received tbe blow, seems to me to be conclusive eviuence that the force used by the defendant was not excessive; indeed, not even sufficient to protect himself against the attack. This conclusion is unescanable and all consid erations of chivalry must yield to it.

"It is easy to suppose tnat tne ueiena-ant, as he testified, did not know the identity- of his assailant at the time the blow was struck, for he' offered no further violence after recognizing her, although she continued beating him with a strap. "While considerable testimony was received on both sides relating to possible grounds for each of the parties to annoy the other, -we are limited in this review to the application of the legal principles uTmlimhle to the risrht to use force in making or repelling an assault without regard to the sex or station Me of the persons involved." William H. MacLean represented the defendant. He waj? given a sentence of thirty days or a fine of in police court. Sentence was suspended.

The decision of Judge Stephens wipes out the suspension. KAISER, WILLIAM, ENLISTS Has I-To More Sanguine Purpose T.an to Go Berry-picking. Kaiser, William, enlisted yesterday at the Farm tabor Bureau, in No. 44 Elm street, lie is one of the small boys who want to aid their country in increasing the food supply. On the books of the bureau all names are registered alphabetically.

The small boy, who could barely peer over the railing at the beadquar-tera, gave his name as William Kaiser, but the stenographer entered him on the list as "Kaiser, William." The- little chap, who lives in Mead street, desires greatly to go berry-picking. He registered in the morning and said that he thought he was 9 years old. Later in the afternoon he- returned to say that his age, he had discovered, was iO-1-2. He is pretty young for the camps that the bureau is establishing, but his persistency and his name may make it possible for him to be accepted. The first fifty boys will start for So-dos this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Later in the week another camp will be on the way. Several more applications for camps are being considered, and it is hoped that places may be found for the several hundred boys who have signified their desire to go into the fields for the rest of the summer. To Meet in Central Church. The Christian Eudeavor societies of the Firs-t r.aptist and Central. Presbyterian churches will hold a joint meeting oa Sunday evening at 6:15 o'clock in the class room of Class 42 in the Central Church.
