GARDENING FOR CONSUMPTIVES.
There has recently been inaugurated near High Wycombe a scheme for the open-air employment of consumptive convalescents. Earl Carrington. President of the Board of Agriculture, has placed at the disposal of a newly-formed association a site of twenty-eight acres to bo held at a rental of £2B a year. The ground is already ploughed, so that growing vegetables and a scheme of market gardening can be begun at once. rhe capital will be £5OO. in £1 shares, bearing no interest: nearly all the shares are taken up.
