Show LOCAL GARDEN CONTEST IS COMPLETED Planned for the purpose of stimulating interest in raising better and larger gardens for family fam-ily use both in the summer and winter months, Kolob stake Relief society has just completed a garden gar-den contest carried on during the past summer. Under the direction of Mrs. Prudence Palfreyman of the stake board, and W. H. Anderson, high school agriculture instructor, visits have been made to the gardens entered during the summer and an accurate check of produce from the garden has been kept. Both directors of the contest are enthusiastic over the results and are planning now to make it a much larger project to include many more and better gardens next year. In connection with the forthcoming forth-coming garden project, a meeting will be held early in the spring to outline types of gardens, ' to give rules of the contest and general instructions in-structions on the possibility of raising a vegetable garden.
