» y Seed Catalogue Allue Disappointing Group Leaves Here for California Army Camp Something should be done about those seed catalogues. No matter how many good resolu tions you may have made, no matter what sales resistance you may have built up, you just can’t resist the insidious allure of the seed catalogue. Last year the garden was a bust and this year seems to be on its way to be worse. Just when we had decided to let the main garden go and confine our efforts to a row of onions and a patch of radishes, along q>mes the seed catalogue and who, I ask you, can withstand the blan dishments bf the seed catalogue. It always comes when there is still snow on the ground, but Spring is in the offing and it heralds ths news that this vill be a far setter year for the garden than ever be fore. The Old Man There is the Gn The Hill the colored picture of the giant gladiolus with spikes and blooms of white and red and orange pink and the Ponderosa Gigantic tomato with a single stalk loaded with at least a bushel of lucious, red toma- toes. All the corn one eat in eighty days and there are colored pic- tures of beautiful flowers, snap- dragons, carnations, Canterbury Bells and Sweet Williams—who, I ask you, can withstand the blandishments of the ssed cata- logue. Yes, we bought 'em all and as a result our garden was again planted from end to end with all kinds of seeds. As usual the results are discouraging. The corn that we should be eating by now is only about eight inches high. The Ponderosa Giganticus toma to has nary a blossom on as yet. Everything is drying up. I try squirting water around on the garden and flowers, but it doesn’t seem to do much good. If you water it, the seeds rot and if you don’t it dries up. Besides I have to get up early, very early, for then is the only time there is pressure enough to do any good. At other times there is only a trickle that, oozes dejec tedly from the nozzle of the hose. It is a nip and tuck race be tween me and the robins to get enough strawberries for a short cake. A mole has rooted up the gladiolus, the giant sweet pea has turned out to be the dwarfest dwarf of its kind and the rest of the flowers don’t look anything like the pictures in the seed cata- TREHARNE — Mr. and Mrs. Harry Weaver and children at tended the Car-Vu Wednesday and Friday evening.

But there is one thing I can say for our garden—we have the largest and most varied assortment of weeds in any gar den hereabouts. In spite of dili gent hoeing, the weeds have pros pered amazingly. But after all the seed cata- logue may have its mission to mankind. We may be inclined to underrate its importance. It is a kind of morale upper lifter for when one has about given up faith in nature along comes the seed catalogue, a harbinger of good will and encouragement. No one who has his roots in the soil can withstand its creed of better things to come. However, unwilling we may feel about it, we must give the seed catalogue its rightful p’ace in the ultimate scheme of things. THE EAGLE, St. Paul Rodeo Is Attraction From Camp Sun.
