Olive Barber's Letter What started out as a few isolated cases of lily growing, in our area, has developed into an epidemic. It is a disease which flouts the behaviour pattern of other diseases. For instance, if you have pneumonia, well, you never worry about your feet get ting congested just because your lungs are. And you never gel a stye on your ear; or have ap pendicitis any where out in your appendix. But once you get Infected with the lily bulb virus, it not on!y unseats your reason, puts a crick in your back and blisters on your hands and spots before your eyes, but it will -break out in your window boxes, your lawn, backyard and even take over the corn patch. Trees are being cut down to provide more terri tory for the spread of the dis ease. This last iff, to me, the most ridiculous of all- Why a man might, with as much sense, shave his head so he'd have more room for ingrown toe-nails- Of course a psychiatrist could place these bulb besotted right where they belong in a class with the psychopaths. Yet I doubt if he would since, likely, he too has a lily bulb neurosis. No longer do people inquire after each other s families when they meet. Instead, it Is, "How are your bulbs coming along?" They do not even ask if the other fellow is raising lillles. They take that for granted. And a matron meeting last year's bride doesn t make delicate in quiry as to her "expectations." No, the stork business is of minor Importance. They are less con cerned over potential presidents and butter-and-egg men than they are over potential lillles. So the conversation is of bulb beds, not bassinettes; lily fer tilizers, not baby formulas. The lillies of the field which "toil not, neither do they spin" don't need to. With the masses working in their behalf, what call has a lily to sweat. Nor need they fear their kind will become extinct-. No lily bulblet Is allowed to fall on barren or stony ground- Each one is saved, guarded, fed a balanced diet and then urged to produce as many little blessed events as it can manage. So far, I have escaped Illy bulb infection. Yet take that field to the north of the house well drained, open to the sun.
