CHORTLY after the beginning of
- the war the good housewives Of
the thriving suburban village de-
cided that they had reached the limit
of their patience with the farmers IN
the surrounding counties. These
good men forgot that the housewife
in the small community likes farm
produce as well as her sister in the
large cities -- hence they shipped
their crops directly to the commits
sion merchants and entirely ignored
their neighbors in the small villages,
The women of this community
proudly acknowledged that they
could raise sufficient greens and
produce to make it unnecessary to
buy these commodities in the open
market
When one Of the members Of the
Garden Club was asked how the idea
originated, she explained to me that
the farmers in the vicinity were at
tracted by the city prices and very
grudgingly allowed them only very
small portion of the produce. This
was endured for one season only and
then they started their gardens and
the garden club.
On plots that the average person
devotes to a lawn, these folk grew
potatoes that would compare favora-
bly with the Idaho finest for baking
and cooking. Tomatoes as big as a
small head Of cabbage, carrots,
Swiss chard, Chinese cabbage, shoe
peg corn, lima beans, string beans,
beets. onions and celery were among
the vegetables displayed.
Ever-bearing raspberries and
strawberries and a Jamaica tomato,
with more than fifty varieties of
flowers, filled the large hall at one of
their exhibitions.
The housewives Of the community
are splendid cooks and they know
that the readers of this paper would
be anxious to have some of their
recipes, which l have spent one aft
ernoon in gathering.
