SPRING GARDEN FEVER
?About this time of the year, every
year, my neighbor, Albert Skeets.j
catches the live-at-home fever. He
makes up his mind that he is going
to stop wasting his money buying
vegetables and other truck from the
farmers who always ask twice as
much as turnip-greens and onions are
worth.
?Neighbor Albert always has to
start from scratch every spring in
a-new when he resume* his garden
Ing. l^ast year, he bought 3 rolls of
garden wire: 2 hoes: 1 rake: 24 new
fence posts: 1 wheelbarrow: 1
spade: 1 maddoek: 1 plant setter-out:
2 garden plows?1 for himself and 1
for his wife: 2 lengths of garden
hose: 3 insect sprays: 5" gallons Insect
killer in the fluid, and $9 worth
of garden seed and plants. Total
outlay, $65.
?This spring Albert will have to buy
practically the same lot of tools and
stuff. He burnt up his fence posts
during the terrible cold snap we had
in January. Somebody stole his wire
and garden tools. Ho can't even And
the 18-tooth rake. He thinks he loant
some of them out: that's the same
as having them stolen. He believes
he knows who got his wheel-barrow,
but ho can't prove it. Anyway he's
full of pep and energy and has already
bought his equipment and is
ready for the fight.
?If Albert does like he did last year
he'll slow down his garden work before
May 20th. He will hire a colored
boy every now and then to do a little
plowing and scratching around in his
garden. He can't stand hot sunshine
at all, so ho ?*ya, about June 1st. He
wHl probably have 3 messes of beans
and 2 gallons of turnip sallot and
possibly a half bushel of Irish potatoes.
That's plenty for him to brag
about at the office for months and
months: "By Gratmy?( lire at home,
Boys: off the sweat of my own brow.
Man, those beets and eschallots and
English peas and okra and $elerr and
% ' "
other vegetables we are having out
of MY own garden are wonderful."
As a matter of fact, for the $65 hd
haa spent for tools, seeds and so
forth, pluB some personal and hired
labor, he gets about 75 cents worth
of truck out of his home garden.
There are thousands upon thousands
of Alberts all over this country.
