Sunday was certainly lovely day
and little cool after the rains Fri
day, Saturday and Saturday nights
laundering and pouring rain. 1t cut
the farmers out of planting on those
two days and causes that which had
been put in the ground to be up
and doing. We have seen more
corn planted, some up and looking
fine, than e2er before this early IN
the season. Irish potatoes are also
looking fine. The wheat fields are
very beautiful and / hope everyone
realizes the necessity of growing
their own bread stuffs and food
crops Of every kind for man and
beast. | hope we will have good
seasons of rains So we can have hay,
corn and peas, which we were so
short on last year, owing to the
lack of rain.
Our garden is coming on fine and
We have been enjoying garden sass s
two weeks. The prettiest garden
We have seen is that Of a Mr.. Guess
down at North Augusta. | think
ffi!is snap-beans must be ready to
pick and cabbage almost headed
A great many of the vacant lots IN
North Augusta have beautiful gars
dens.
The ladies are busy with their
poultry and there are many little bid
dies peeping in that department too:
Ihope this war is teaching all of us
how to live at home, and be able to
have an abundance to send our boys
