Boy Gardeners’ Example—Mr. C. F. Lawrence, F.R.H.S., horticultural superintendent under the Northamptonshire Education Committee, writing on “Inter-cropping,” says: “In Rushden North End Council School garden the boys often grow some very good crops of radishes over the potato plots before the potatoes are earthed up, sowing the radish seed immediately after planting the potatoes, and in 1913 this class grew four cops on the same land; first radishes and early potatoes as described above, and, later on, tomatoes and turnips, making a net profit of 11s. 4d. from just 14 square yards of land.

The Scholars of the North End Council School (mixed department) put their savings together and raised the splendid sum of £4 17s. 0d. for the Rushden Prisoners of War Fund. There was keen rivalry between the classes as to which should come out on top.
