dency Of farmers ito accept them as
! necessary nuisance that must be
tolerated." says the agricultural col

''The most we can see in regard to
a vegetable garden is that it inter-
feres with the work in the busy sea
son. or else it does not bother them
at all because the care is left to the
women Of the family" bulletin
states. "a report recently published
shows that the net income from a
vegetable garden of one-quarter acre
over a three-year period was $l34
per year. or at the rate OF $3.50 per
acre. The total cost of this garden
averaged S4o.50 per year.
More careful and thoughtful at
