the trait to the sunny south. Jani

of your; young . rearfers and the1
older ones also, who have not had
the opportunity to ramble around!
may be interested a little in what
I may .say. Just at present, Feb
23, I am In my, sister's home at
Seward, Neb., one hundred miles
est and north of Omaha, Neb.,
listening In orer the radio to the
Henry Fields Seed, company .of
.Shenandoah, Iowa, who hate put
' on a 430-hour continuous radio
program, which started .yesterday
at noon. Now listen. This is a
musical ' and rocal program with
announcements between numbers.
Also announcing congratulations
by wire! upon the different num
bers rendered, also rotes wired for
favorite numbers, which so far
hare" exceeded 200,000 telegrams
which have been received from
every atate in; the Unios?and all
classes of musical Instruments are
represented, and I must say the
program la certainly interesting.
Now don't misunderstand me. The
program has been continuous, no
let up last night. Now, you Web-,
footers'; can yon equal this radio
service. Mr. Fields owns his own
station. I am still lojral 'to ur
old coast state, but I can .also say
a word of praise to the state of
Nebraska and Its good? people.

an average of $148, the Hamp

extra good. We are on the air

everything from the Rocky Moun

from the Mexican border to Can

What kind of a vegetable gar
den do -yon want? That Is the
main item to decide before order
ing seeds. Most people have their
particular likes and dislikes and
if they followed sterotyped advice
to grow a balanced vegetable gar
den there will be portions of the
crop not particularly wanted.
Sometimes ' a gardener overruns
himself with summer squash or
string beans. The idea is to pick
the vegetables you like best and
grow onry these if your space is
limited. ?
A salad and greens garden is a
favorite with many suburban
dwellers. ; ' They . can buv the root
