of seed company's enticing offerings.
He generally figures on buying about $l42

Brother suggests that father solve the difficulty
by having double or triple decker garden with
layers of earth on stills, la the hunks on trans
port. And, while father seriously considers the
proposition, the family has hearty laugh on him.
At last as the time for planting creeps nearer
and nearer father, upon the urgent request OF the
family and with his common sense finally on the
