If we add the truck grown on city and town lots to the "garden sass" grown on farms we fird a total just about equal to that of the national corn crop. Not all of these vegetables were sold, of course, but perhaps as great a proportion of them as of the corn produced found their way to a direct eash market, So far as that is concerned, the poult®y products for the last census year--1919,.--were more than a billion dollars in value, and the dairy preducts nearly a billion and a half.

They numbered 16 in the troop and wers enthusiastic lads, who took up the work with a desire to make good and succeeded in the effort. A charter was granted them. They built a cabin in Casey's weods near the Des Plaines river that same summer and there took their first lessons in the requirements of . a scout in camp life and wood lore.
