My, oh my, but the heats been
terrific these last three days. Guess
we are all wishin' for those cold days
back again that we were complain
about week or so ago.
The weather's been too hot to do
much gallivantin' around but Mrs.
Schjeldahl entertained Anna Moss
berg and her daughters Saturday aft
ernoon. Grace left Sunday for her
job in Minneapolis after spending the
past three weeks with her ma and
Eiffel went back to her work at the
hospital after being home for four
days.
Some of the folks went up to Hang
ing Horn lake to the NJ E. camp for
a picnic dinner and to attend the
services on Sunday.
Then l hear Merle Street had quite
trip Sunday. He went out to a
place called Tame Fish Farm which
is near Aitkin. There for a 10c adj
mission he says he saw the prettiest
rock gardens he ever saw. Among
the gardens were pools and the fish
came to the top to eat bread crumbs
that folks threw out to them. Even
the chipmunks came to eat out of
folks hands. Seems like it must be
quite a nice sight-guess I'll have to
look it over myself some of these
Sundays.
Guess 1 made mistake about the
V-8 in last weeks news. It's Chew
rolet. You can't fool me on a Model
ct" or "a" but these fancy new
cars is too streamlined for me to tell
them apart.
Well, Grandma Street is off for a
visit. She's down in Iowa where
she's attending family reunion. On
her return to Minnesota she'll visit
in Osseo and st. Paul before returning
home.
Seems like we're all getting pleas
ant surprises these days and seeing
folks we amt seen for a long time.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Ernest Ny
berg's brother visited her and on
Monday Mrs. Habeck'S sister and nus
band from Redwood Falls came Wis
itin' her.
Hazel Mossberg left for Minneapo-
lis Sunday after being with her folks
for a few days last week.
Eleanor Brink spent Monday with
Anna Mossberg.
Some of the folks here around have
been lookin' for blueberries but amt
had much luck. Seems as tho there
should be some, some places, the way
they are bringin' 'em in to Sturgeon.
Mahlmans came out Sunday from
their home west of town to look for
some and also to call on Habecks.
Would appreciate it if the folks
would call me if they have some
special news, cause we're interested
in all of Windemere, not just part.

be a routine one for delphiniums for
they are quite susceptible to disease.

Window-box plants usually begin
to show signs of wear by midsummer,
mainly because they have used most
the plant food in the SOIL This is
partly due to the smallness of the
supply but mostly to the dryness and
hardness of the earth, even when
regularly watered." Notice that the
soil has shrunk away from the sides
of the box. Thrust long knife in
the crack and slice the soil parallel
with the box. Scratch the surface
and then apply water literally to
wash fine earth into the cracks. Add
pulverized sheep manure and from
then on keep the soil wetter than in
May.

Some spend fortune to enhance
Their gardens with herbaceous plants
Inlaid with rocks.
Some like a garden whose design
Conforms to geometric line;
Trim beds of pinks and columbine
And brilliant phloX.
But all of these combined can't match
The glory of random patch
Of hollyhocks.
