 PROSPECTS

 persons employed a whole year in cultivating 

 2 7-10 acres of land, and only working five hours 

 a day, would produce sufficient vegetables and 

 fruit for at least 500 individuals." But this can 

 be done only by intensive methods. 



A. R. Sennett in a recent publication entitled 

 "Garden Cities in Theory and Practice" shows 

 that it requires at least two acres of farm land, 

 as at present cultivated, to feed each one of the 

 people of America with grain and vegetable

Again, he estimates that it requires from two 

 to three acres of cultivated pasture land to feed

 or animal food ; or three acres to feed each per-

 ordinary wasteful methods of culture and pas- 

 turage. 



The difference between such methods of pas- 

 turage and what has been accomplished by using
