Rowley ROOTED IN AAAERICAN FREE ENTERPRISE Who Hoed It Off? When Dad wanted a job done well, he'd usually look for Ned. It seemed that Ned could see order where there wasn't any. Where someone else might stand and wonder where to begin, he would just start anywhere, putting things where they belonged. Before long, everything was neatly in place. I guess that's why Ned was assigned to hoe the garden while Dad was in town. Following a thorough watering, the garden had become a fence-to-fence carpet of weeds. Ned went right to work, and when Dad came home, the garden was a garden again, with neat rows of cabbage, peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables. . Dad complimented Ned on the good job. Then something down in one of the rows attracted his attention. One pepper plant, although still in place, was drooping. droop-ing. When he took hold of it, the plant came right out of the ground-without any roots. It was cut off clean. 'Ned," Dad called, "come look at this. Some old cutworm must have gotten ahold of this pepper plant and chewed it right off." "I never hoed it off," Ned promptly assured us. Well, Ned had to live down a lot of teas ing about the pepper plant he cut off with the hoe and put back in the ground, hoping hop-ing it would look alive. But that didn't stop him from doing his job well whenever there was another garden to weed or a barn to clean. You know, Jack Wallis and the other folks at the Vernal Express kinda remind me of Ned. In one way. They always try to do a good job. But with all the deadline rush last week, someone forgot to finish telling you what I said about Grandma and my gladiolus bulbs. There were a few typographical errors to boot. However, I soon found that I needn't worry about anyone saying they didn't hoe it off. When I called it to Jack's attention, atten-tion, he was genuinely apologetic. He told me to use space in my next ad to make corrections at the paper's expense. And that's just what I'm going to do. So you can read the rest about Grandma Grand-ma and then get busy making your garden look like Ned had planted it. It's people like Jack Wallis and his crew that make living and gardening in this old Basin more enjoyable than it might otherwise be. And even though he doesn't live here anymore, thinking of my little brother Ned helps make it that way, too. . .. . ... .. . . " A t"-' ' - v I-" ' ' I 7 .

In the next paragraph, "then fingers" should have been thin fingers." After that, the last two paragraphs were left out and should have read: "I guess it must have been the excitement showing on my face that sent the tears on their crooked pathway down through the wrinkles. The wrinkles got wet again a few months later as she watched me proudly reaching up to touch the top of a large red gladiolus spike. I guess I didn't understand grandmas then. But it seemed that Grandma always understood. And I can never see a gladiolus bulb or flower without thinking of her." Errors in the Cauliflower article are: In the second paragraph, second word "trestment" should read "treatment'' and five words from the end of the same paragraph the word should be "thuricide" rather than "thuridice." In the part advertising raspberries and strawberries the last line should read "BEFORE IT GETS TOO WARM."
