QUIT YOUR "FORDING;" SA
AND GO TO FARMING
I
Wc farm folks are up against a
So.
tough proposition thi3 year, and the fir
sooner we realize it and get busy, the 0*c
better it will be for us. Un
"The Lord helps those who help
themselves," but let's not expect too
much of the Lord, but do everythixig
we can and ask Him to give us good ot<1
seasons, health and a will to work.
Between you and me and the gatepost, m<
I think a lack of the last mentioned ^
- . los
i9 our greatest trouote. ov
many farmers could "affor^ a Ford," ^
most of us have contracted a dislike
for plain, old-fashioned work, and
have developed a case of plain, oldfashioned
laziness?call a spade a
Po
spade, you know, and it's so much
CO
plcasanter to ride around and see
other folks work than to buckle down
to it ourselves?but not near so many mi
Th
of us have kissed work good-bye as
on
thought we had, for I see a summer
of hard work looming up ahead of
us like'a nightmare, and. as they say ^
/Jo
the surest way to avoid being gored
it
is to take the bull by the horns, I '
suggest that- we all get busy, resolve ^
to grow everything we can for our
own food, and for the stock we have to
to feed.
The first thing that we can plant
that will bring quickest results is a
good garden, and right now is the
time to start. If you do not plant
r?
anythnig just now, the garden should
be plowed so that the insect life that 3S
winters undeground will be killed by ea
the cold before planting, which is j>(
not far off. Sugar peas, mustard, vc
lettuce and beet seed can be sown, and
g?i
cabbage plants set now without dan- 0
cL
ger of frost killing them.
To get an idea of how family gar- lf
dens are neglected, just drive around a g(
bit and take a look at what is called je
"the garden" by most farmers. You'll
get an "eyeful" of dead grass and t
weeds knee high, a few collard _
m
stumps and the bean poles left stand- cj
ing since last summer. Whose fault
is it? It's the person's who does the g
ploughing, we' suppose, because noth- .
ing can be planted, or should not be, _
pi
till the garden is ploughed, so we gc
suspect the men are guilty to some ex- ^
tent; A poor little woman told me
si
not long ago, "There ain't nobody
sc
loves vegetables better'n I do, but I
jist caint git Bill to fix me a garden."
Some one ought to fix "Bill", so he'd
have to stand up. at least, long enough
to fix her a "guarden." But 'tisn't al- ,
h<
ways Bill's fault there's no garden, ..
til
sometimes it's "Billette's" fault, for
m
we happen to know some men who h
do all the gardening done by the fam- ^
ily. .
Every farm family shoultj be eating
turnips, rutabagas, mustard, lettuce,
collards, cabbage ana sour-crout?or
.sauer-kraut?either way it tastes best i
to you, at this season 01 the year, but
how many are? Ask why, and they
usually answer, "I just can't have any
luck with things in the winter." Well,
I guess not, if you sit down and wait
for them to fall from heaven like tho
Manna of Eiblical days. Things don't
happen that way these days.
Farming and gardening, both, are
very "earthy" jobs, and sky-gazing
and day-dreaming won't get you far
on the farm. You've got to keep your
eyes and mind on the job. And, too, te
you needn't sit down and wait for the b:
so-called Farmers' Movement?for or le
by farmers?to benefit you to any di
great degree, because it 4'won't be
did", not soon.
If you don't see this in The Dispatch-News,
you can just say the editor
wouldn't print it.
Yours for better farming and farmers,
