l6N65 feet. After we had Dlowed and

looking. we were given a smaller plot.
about 30Nl6 feet. in reward for our
hard work. In this plot we planted
corn and buttnrbeans.
AS soon as the plants appeared above
the ground we Immediately hilled thc,l
and dug all the weeds and wireErass
from between the rows to keep them
from spreading.
Our snaps were the first to become
ripe. and off of the four rows each.
which werc sixteen feet long, we re-
ceired forty quarts. Several weeks
later our l,ack-eye peas and butter
beans became ripe, and up TO the
present time VIC have gathered sixtAeu
quarts of black-eye peas Off of eight
rows. each sixteen feet long, and ten
quarts of buttcrbcans. From the ten
rows OF corn which we planted, we
received sixteen dozen ears, and sold
theii mt 25 cents dozen.
We have taken in, to date, S14, and
have several quarts of snaps and peas
10 oc picked.
On the whole, our garden was a
success. anG we had pleasure out OF
rur work. AS We'll as making a ut
