THE HOME GARDEN.
The Story Of tho BOY and His Littl:
P1vt of Ground

The Story Of tho BOY and His Littls
P1ot of Ground
At the age of five every boy is by
instinct gardener II guided by op-
portunity, example and intelligent d.
rection he will dig, plant and develop
an interest in growing things; lacking
these the call of mother nature leads
to mud pies. Given a square yard of
mellow, ground, tiny hoe and q hand
full of beans, a healthy five year-old
boy will have combination that ex.
cells anything vet designed In mature
study"
From five to ten the world begins to
dawn. He looks up and out; he sees
and initiates, but does not reason. He
should play without hindrance. II the
square yard of ground be enlarged to
rod, the handful OF beans to collec-
ton Of seeds (the kinds for sale In the
grocery stores are best as these have
brilliantly colored pictures on the pack
ages and the boy learns thereby what
manner Of thing he is to expect), this
square rod will be the play ground to
a surprising extent.
He may not plant the kinds you ex-
pect or want him to plant, as his view
point is different from yours. It Is I'M
wise to insist on any given plan. Let
this garden be his own. If 1t has been
entirely to carrots or cabbage let it re-
main carrots and cabbage, for they are
more to him than your choice variety
1t is unwise to expect careful pains

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH MOTHER EARTH.

In the course of ten years. this means
one and one-half million dollars. Aver.
aging the profit on this amount at
twenty per cent, 1t means nat in ten
years time three hundred thousand
dollars profits are taken from the town.
Now, on the other hand, should the
farmer, instead of sending away his
money to the foreign place for goods
he requires, give all his trade to the
home town, its business would be i'm.
mediately doubled, and with twice the
employment for the people. Year af.
ter year, the profits made by the mer.
chants would be retained in the town
would seek investment in starting new
industries, and at the end Of the ten.
year period, instead Of q town Of one
thousand, there would be a lively city
Of from two to three thousand, and
every acre of farm land within the
trade radius Of the town would be en-.
HANGED in value from ten to twenty
dollars.
ENRICHING THE BIG CITIES.
It can be plainly figured out that the
individual farmer who would divert
half his trade to Chicago, New York or
some other foreign city. In the course
of ten years would send away three
thousand dollars. II it were possible
that he could save ten per cent on this
amount, in ten years time he would
save three hundred dollars. His .nly
compensation would be a dead home
town, poor schools, a poor home mar.
ket, and no increase In the value of his
real-estate holdings.
On the other hand, by giving his
patronage to the home town, even
though he must pay the merchant ten
per cent more than the foreign house,
the result would be like this: On &C.
count of increase in farm values, one
and sixty acres Of land worth
ten dollars more per acre, sixteen hun.
dred dollars; or, thirteen hundred dol
lars better off in ten years than If he
gave half his patronage to the foreign
concern. His home town is q lively
one, all public improvements, all mod.
ern conveniences, high schools, to
which he could send his children
cheaply, good churches, good roads.
and everything that can add to the com.
fort and happiness Of its residents,
and those who reside near It. Not.
withstanding, that the farmers land is
enhanced in value, his taxation will be
but little greater, as the business inter-

is THE SAVING A REAL ONE?
While the country household. in
looking over one Of the big catalogues
and sending an order for $50 worth Of
goods, may be able to figure out an
immediate saving Of FIVE or six dollars
even after they have paid the freight,
there is no question as to the final out.

ity. The home town will suffer, the
home market will fail to increase. IL
1t does not decrease. as will also the
value of the farm lands. Undoubtedly
the catalogue houses can sell goods
cheaper than the average country
store, for they do a cash business
you send on your cash with yorr
order. There IL no risk in the cata-
lOgue or mail order house business.
Possibly IL you arranged to do business
on the same basis with your country
merchant-cash down with your pur-
chase-yo could get almost rs favor
able prices. But the country merchant
Is supposed to extend credit to every
one; he has bad bills which lie never
collects and consequently must make
2 greater percentage OF profit on the
things he sells.
Every community which is imbued
with the spirit Of building up it's own
industries and of supporting its home
town with local pride, is sure to be the
most prosperous; there can be no gain
saying this fact.

taking effort and constant care from

not compel it.
He can be taught by example all o.
the needs Of plant growth but his hoe
ing and wedding may be superficial
II you ask him he will allow you to dis
in his garden to loosen the soil deeper
than his strength permits. It is wise
to. do this for there must be carrots
and cabbage to harvest or there will
be no play ground here next year.
If the boy of five has been allowed
the run of a garden, if at eight he has
garden of his own, at ten he will love
gardening and will have absorbed ar

and when its great golden blossoms
appear there is q still greater wonder

Boys OF twelve and fourteen may de.
sert the garden for the ball field or the
fishing rod, and it Is well they should,
for the serious time Of life is coming
soon and play days should be as many
and long as school and home duties
will permit. But a garden for boy at
this age may be greater factor in his
training for life than at any other, for
by this time the "root Of all evil" has
entered his soul; he has learned that
money is essential in order to procure
the many things boy must have, and
the garden, which to this time has
been recreation field, a place of won.
derful possibilities in the way of good
things to eat and pumpkins for jack-o'-
lanterns, may be a most fertile field
of revenue.
Whatever the crop the proceeds
should be wholly his. own, II he has
produced the crop wholly by his own
efforts. There is but one way that he
can learn the value of money and that
Is by earning 1t. The wise use of
money must also be learned but that
is outside the sphere Of gardening.

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.
ENORMOUS STRUCTURES TO BIZ
ERECTED BY MONTGOMERY
WARD AND COMPANY AND
OTHERS.

Catalogue Houses are Benefit OF
Detriment to the Farmer and the
Country Generally.
Chicago Is to have the greatest build
Ing the world ever constructed for com.
mercial purposes. 1t will have floor
space Of SO acres-a good sized farm.
It is to be 10 stories high, including the
basement, and were it to be all
stretched out on one floor it would
cover 13 Of the big city blocks in the
windy city. It will be 900 feet in length
and 270 feet wide and will be built Of
steel and concrete. The cost will be
$500, 900. The present building oc-
cupied by Montgomery Ward and Com
pany Is a huge affair, but Is stated to
be entirely inadequate to the needs Of
this enormous mail order house, and
30 this new pile Is to be constructed
1t seems to be the time OF big COM
merical houses in the great centers Of
the country. Another big firm is to
erect a building on Chicago avenue,
which will contain a million square
feet-200 feet by 800 feet; Sears, Roe
buck and Company is big Chicago
business rival of the Montgomery Ward
firm, and has just also been incorpor-
ated to do business in New York, with
q capitalization Of $40,000,000, paying
the State incorporation tax of $4,000.
TO BE PROUD OF.
These are fine projects, and at first
thought may make one proud of Amer
lean business institutions, but what is
the real effect of the success of these
gigantic commercial houses upon the
country's prosperity? How does their
business affect the country merchant,
the country banker, the country town
itself and in fact the country people
who are the patrons of the great mail
order houses What creates the village,
the town, the thriving city? What
keeps 1t live and busting center ra-
Their than dead congregation of few
houses with one or two miserable
stores? 1t is the patronage and sup
port, is 1t not, Of the surrounding coun-
try homes. Towns are bui. up only
when they have support from an agri-
cultural territory, If agriculture is the
surrounding industry, which is the
case in nine out of ten instances. But |
conversely, the richness Of the soil
alone does not make the most valuable |
farms.
THE MARKET FOR PRODUCTS. |
There must be good market for the
farm product; IL the farm is adjacent
to q live growing town supporting ac-
tive and well-to-do-people, the market
for the farmers products will be ac-
tive and the prices good. II the town
be dead one, he will have to turn
elsewhere to dispose of his products,
and perhaps incur heavy transporta-
ton charges In their shipment. This
fact Is set forth Enthusiastically in the
last census figures which show that in
q small area of to United States, the
regions where factories abound,-a dis
trict comprising but little over 10 per
cent. Of the United States-the value
of the farm lands Is over half that of
all Of the arabic land In the entire
country. The farms in these regions
are located close to the factories,
which afford q profitable home market |
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-07-20

greatest good for the greatest number,
the farms Of each agricultural area
surrounding town should support
that town to their uttermost.
KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME.
Every dollar that the farmer spends
In the town indirectly comes back to
him In the way Of benefits. The town
grows, 1t supports better stores, more
churches, better schools to which he
can send his children, furnishes bet.
ter near-at-hand markets for his prod.
ucts. and finally increases the very
value Of his farm land. AS a good il.
lustration, the Dry Goods Reporter as.
sumes that such an agricultural town
has q population of 1000, it's support
coming from the country tributary to
1t. The life of the town Is its retail
trade. If 1t secures the entire purchas
ing business of the farmers, 1t must Of
necessity grow rapidly. But Mont
gomery Ward and Co., Sears. Roebuck
and Co., and others of the enormous
mail order houses send out their great
four or five pound catalogues describ
ing everything under the sun. Suppose
that instead Of spending his 5000 a
year In his home town, each farmer in
the community diverts SO per cent of
his trade from his town and sends $500
a year to the catalogue houses; It'll
means that half Of the business Of the
town Is gone. On the basis of one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty square
miles of territory to support the town,
1t can be estimated that there are five
hundred farmers in the district. Three
hundred dollars year in trade from
each of the farmers means that one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
annually Is taken from the home town.
