Show "Dig, Brother" Takes on Neiv Meaning The government has asked all patriotic Southerners, and all Americans, Am-ericans, to revise the old nursery rythme to read: "Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow, With onions, peas, and carrots, And tomatoes in a row?" No one hoes if anything will grow, but weed can at least try. If you are racking your brain for something to do next summer, you needn't worry, just rake your ground. Here is how to go 'about planting plant-ing a Victory Garden to aid the fighting fronts. First procure a shovel and a hoe. The latter is really unnecessary unnec-essary because the weeds come up in spite of everything. Spade the ground, smooth it, and then plant the seeds in fur-vows. fur-vows. This is really silly, too, for the seeds can just be sprinkled on the ground and someone is sure to trample them under, if the neighbor's chickens don't get at them first. The first green that pops up should be immediately disposed of, for it is probably a weed. When the weeds crowd out the plants, and you can't tell one from another, your Victory garden gar-den is in its prime. With diligent care, a real plot of ground can be cultivated into a garden that you and your Uncle Sam can be well proud of. If your intentions are thusly, youd better try a different way than the above, because you would be getting nowhere fast. |
