WHAT PEOPLE SAY |

A. B. Pearson-If the white man in
this valley would settle down to business
he could make big thing out of gar
dening. The Cinnamon are doing it,
and | see no reason why Americans can
not They apply themselves to the
business, and have a big trade They
raise practically all the early vegetables,
and find ready sale for it all. This
could be done by the native born if they
would settle down to it and become a
permanent fixture here. The trouble
with most people here is that in estab-
fishing home they are always looking
for buyer with view of speculation.
A good garden would bring more than
the profits of a sale if managed properly.
| hope to see the matter looked after
more closely by our people in the future.
