that the service should be stopped

rATHERBOB ME ETs THE FAIRIES

"Nourishing, perhaps" said Faith
erbob.
Eyes, that was it. He said 1t meant
that people would get fat and be
healthy if they eat plenty of beets He
said they had lots of sugar in them;
have they?"
Eyes, indeed; more than any other
vegetable, l believe"
"He said you planted the first crop
late in March or early in April, and
then you must plant some more in
July to put up for the winter. He
said that beets could not grow well in
sour soil What did he mean by
sour soil, Fatherbob?"
Sour soil is the kind that has no
food in it for the seeds and plants.
1t means the same as poor soil. Peo-
pie us many different things to sweet
en- the ground They use leaf mould
| and manure, and a good many people
buy stuff made just to feed the ground
with. 1t is called fertilizer"
|
"Oh, / know" cried Dolly, quite
pleased to be able to understand this
long word; "the fairies have told me
about that"
What else did they tell you about
beets?"
"Well, the fairy said the seeds
should be soaked in warm water for
about eight hours. He said the seeds
we're really little pods with a lot OF
seeds in them. That makes them come
up very thin, and you have to pull up
some of them to make room for the
others. You can use those you pull
up for greens. He said they must be
kept free from weeds; oh, Fatherbob
did | tell you about the weed Imp"
Eyes, you did. loked the story very
much, but now l think it is time for
