Along Azalea Row
By B. Miller
Your reporter has been out, I
and buzzing about—a B in the i
gardens!
An azalea to the J. C. Wrights
for one of the finest vegetable!
gardens in the vicinity. Arnold
Toynbee, the gentleman w h o
wrote “The Study of History”,
would certainly approve of Mr.
Wright! He would certainly rate
him as one of our most advanced
citizens for the ingenious way
in which he has explointed his
environment.
What did he do? Well, on Mr.
Wright’s field is a mound made
by the bulldozer when the land
was cleared. As is so often c ^s-
tomary here, in clearing the land,
a bulldozer takes the wild growth
—top soil with it and scrapes
it all into a mound where it is
left.
This is where clever Mr.
Wright made his vegetable gar-
den. Right on the mound, which
by now has become a wonderfully
fertile natural compost pile.
Mr. Wright doesn’t carry the
compost materials to his gar
den. No indited! He just makes
his whole vegetable garden on
the compost pile!

Bill Crissey says that if you
want to be sure your carrots will
germinate in our dry August
weather, dig the trench deeper
than needed. Pour it full of watei
and let it stand over night. Mean
while soak the carrot seed in
water over night and in the morn
ing dry them on paper toweling.
Then plant them the proper
depth, with the fertilizer you
prefer, cover with the mo’st soil
and pat down with a layer of
dry earth.
Carrots, which do not germi
nate well in dry weather, will
grow with such a start ps this
and produce well for the winter
garden.
Oleanders are growing in the
Floyd Bolton garden and are ex
pected to bloom this week. Look
to your laurels Florida!
My Neighbor's Roses
The roses red upon my neighbor s
vine
Arc owned by him, but they are
aiso mine;
His was the cost, and his the
labor, too,
But mine as well as his the joy,
their loveliness to view.
They bloom for me, and are for
me as fair
As for the man who gives them
all his care.
Thus I am rich, because a good
man gre.v
A rose clad vine for all his neigh
bors to view!
I know from this that others
plant for me,
And what they own, my joy may
also be;
So why be selfish, when so much
that’s fine
Is grown for you, upon a neigh
bor’s vine?—Abraham Gruber

Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hansen
and sons, Larry and Peter, of
Fresno, Califi., are vacationing
here. Mr. Hansen and Larry went
out for a day of fishing on Ma
rion Wilson’s “Lavenia.” Harry,
just 14, put it down in his mem-
ory book as the most exciting
time he ever had. They sighted
whales cavorting, and spouting
frequently about a half mile away
from the boat and when they
were about 12 miles off-shore.
For approximately 14 hours the
power was off in this area Satur
day night and Sundav morning.
When consulted, Fred Stack, REA
head, said that three transform
ers blew out in Denmark, due
probably to overloading.
Thursday bridge club was en
tertained by Mrs. Mary Dobbema
last week. Mrs. Catherine Marsh
won first prize and Mrs. Veinice
Masterson, second.
Returning from a long visit
with family and friends in Seat
tle were Mr. and Mrs. R. A.
Ransdell and son, George. Mr.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sackett of
Laguna Beach, Calif., stayed at
the Ransdell home in the Ham
let during the Ransdell absence.
Mr. Sackett ran the service sta
tion at Sixes for Ransdell. Mrs.
Sackett is Mrs. Ransdell’s aunt.
The Sacketts like this wooded
seashore so well and the mild
climate that they are thinking of
settling here soon.
