wise you will heed that instinct, and
make your back yard pay dividends in
the shape of peas and beans and toma-
toes and lettuce and radishes and on
ions and other things that taste better
fresh than they do when they have
been bought through the regular course
of commerce
1t is surprising what you can do with
a back yard. Even small plot of
ground can be made to provide good
ly supply of table truck, and really,
the stuff tastes lot better when it is
home grown. And there is the benefit
to your own health from working over
it. One man testifies that twelve by
fourteen garden in his back yard sav-
ed him $50 in grocery bills last summer.
Rather a good investment, that. Almost
enough income from it to pay for heat
ing his house last winter. And all
"velvet," all on the side, all extra.
Of course if you live in fiat, with
all modern conveniences you have no
back yard, back yards not being in the
real estate man s catalog of modern
conveniences. But if you have back
yard, go to it. Get out the shovel and
the hoe and get busy.
