Regulations 

 Following are the regulations governing distribution of these 

 tickets : 



1. Tickets are to be given only after completion satisfactorily 

 of a half day's work under supervision on at least one-twentieth 

 acre. 



2. Once a week or not more than twice, according to need, a car 

 ticket to return home and one to come again to the garden are to 

 be given, on above conditions, during the first ten weeks (up to the 

 latter part of July) and during the following ten weeks once a 

 week, only on condition that satisfactory work has been done up to 

 that time and that the child has paid his own fare at least once a 

 week during the first ten weeks. 



3. In order to receive car tickets children are required to work 

 in their gardens at least two half days or one whole day per week 

 during the first ten weeks unless excused. During the second ten 

 weeks one-half day of work per week may be accepted if that is all 

 that is needed. 



Repayment of Expenses 



4. Only those may receive car tickets or harvest crops from 

 their gardens during the second ten weeks who shall have paid by 

 August I their share of the estimated expenses for the season for 

 fertilizer, plowing and seeds furnished.* provided crops of sufficient 

 value can be raised. 



Children shall pay for fertilizer and plowing only on land in 

 excess of one-third square rod, but in no case more than $2 for one- 

 twentieth of an acre nor more than one-half of the value of the 

 produce, of which careful record must be kept, but all children 

 provided with seeds are expected to pay pro rata in advance for 

 seeds furnished, at wholesale price. 



*In 1919 one-half the estimated share of the expenses is to be paid in advance.
