WHAT ONE CLEVELAND FACTORY ACHIEVED IN ITS WAR GARDEN. This is not a Kansas Ranch, as might be suspected from the broad acreage devoted to the raising of farm produce. It is the war garden of the Otis Steel Company's employes, on vacant land near the company's big manufacturing plant, in Cleveland. This is one of the gardens in wliich Mayor Davis and Chairman Schneider take much pride. It is typical of the factory gardens in one of America's greatest industrial centers. Such gardens have been made throughout the manufacturing district of Cleveland and other cities and their contribution to the nation's food supply is of tremendous volume. This garden in- cludes thrifty crops of such vegetables as cabbage, corn, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, celerv, beets, cucum- bers and kolilrabi.
