1. The School Gardens which were most successful last year will 
be continued with an effort to encourage home gardens. 
2. The work of the Village Improvement Society has been taken 
over by the Garden Club. Prizes have been offered to those who 
make the greatest improvement in their gardens and yards during 
the present season. 
3. An Exhibition will be held in September to give the children 
of the School Gardens and the Potato Clubs of the Farm Bureau as 
well as the children who have home gardens an opportunity to exhibit 
their products. It will essentially be an exhibition of vegetables 
although some flowers will be shown. 
4. A Unit of the Women's Land Army will be estabhshed for 
twenty or more farmerettes. 
The Club is unanimous in its interest in this new project. The 
Committee is rapidly developing plans to suit the demands of our 
region. The finances are assured. There will be an Advisory Board 
of the members of the Farm Bureau, Grangers, etc., to give us a con- 
necting link with the farmers. The hope is that the farmer will have 
confidence in the work of the women and increase rather than diminish 
his crops. 
RuMSON Garden Club, New Jersey. Most of our time and 
money is pledged to the promotion of school children's gardening, 
both in the form of community and home gardens. We hope to have 
several hundred school children busy with war gardens this summer. 
We feel that this work among the children is most important. 
If we can teach them a love of thrift, and work, for the good of the 
community; a love of country and home and nature, we think our 
summer's work will not have been a failure. 
The Rumson Garden Club is also assisting in financing and 
managing a large unit of Women Farm Workers, which will be 
situated at Spring Lake, New Jersey. A very large house and farm 
has been donated, a home mother and farm demonstrator engaged, 
and we hope to house and find work for at least forty women. Every- 
thing is in order to begin work the middle of April, and we are working 
hard to secure the co-operation of the farmers in employing women.
