THE PRIZE STORY.

brief, but we'll told and worth Its space
In the general story of the contest. Her
subject, "My First Year at Gardening"
"This year was the first year / ever at
tempted to have garden, and 1t came
up to my expectation very well.
I'm my garden had planted onions,
cucumbers, carrots and psrsnips. I had
some of the largest and best cucumbers
In the neighborhood. Ny onions were
very good ones also. But my carrots
we're not so good, and as for parsnips,
/ don't care for them, 80 don't know
how they taste, but they looked fine.
~ hoed and watered and weeded
almost every day until they were grow
ing 80 good that they didn't have to be
hoed and weeded any more. But / had
to keep them watered good, for 1t was
very hot and dry almost all the summer,
as you will remember.
81 used to time myself and see how
we'll could hoe and weed 1t in short
time. For I'd think that my rod OF land,
even though 1t was so small, was helping
Uncle Sam feed the poor starving little
Belgium children, who have not even
clothes that they can call their own.
81 enjoyed my garden very much and
hope that shall be able to be in the
garden club every year.
81 like to have garden, and I like to let
"Uncle Sam see that am farmerette.
