TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 91 
Food Crops.—Extensive new operations in the raising of 
food supplies for the animals were carried out. Owing to the 
high cost of all kinds of food for animals, it was determined to 
use all the space that could be spared for the cultivation of crops. 
The major portion of the Elk Range, part of the Wild Horse 
Range, the field formerly known as the ball ground, and in- 
creased areas at the Nursery were planted and kept under in- 
tensive cultivation throughout the season. It is very gratifying 
to be able to report that very good results were obtained, in spite 
of the fact that new sod ground had to be used, that the innu- 
merable wild squirrels and rabbits of the Park committed seri- 
ous depredations, and that the season was very unfavorable. 
We raised during the year the following products:

This was accomplished without increasing the force, by re- 
ducing non-essential work to the limit, and obtaining a certain 
amount of volunteer work from various employees. The forest- 
ry force and the park cleaners, often augmented the force usually 
employed at this work, without too seriously neglecting their 
own. Only the most necessary work was undertaken in the prun- 
ing and trimming of trees adjacent to walks, roads, or other 
places where visitors or installations were endangered. Of 
course, this neglect can be endured only for a limited time, for
