Dre TO the scarcity CT rainfall the
sci Is very hard and dry, so the boys
have 10 work very hard watering their
plants. The plants that were planted
forr weeks ago are all growing and
sorlc of them can be eaten already.
Some Of the seeds that were planted
two weeks ago have sprouted, but
some Of thea, like the celery. are not
sprcuting yet
The boys take water every day
from the tank and because OF the little
rain one of the tanks is empty and an
other tank has been opened to get
water.
think the plants would grow well
from this time because the boys are
putting horse manure as fertilizer on
their beds.
The fence, which was in construc-
ton for a long time, has been COM
pleted and the vegetables are free
from the chickens.
The Chinese grass Is a very bad
pest and the boys have to clear the
ground up good before they can plant
anything because II kills the plants.

fitted by work and those who will
