early to be hiding behind the fence

chased the little stars from the sky.
He didn't have to get up early for

been to bed. You see, Reddy Fox
does q great many things that he
wouldn't like to have seen, SO he
does them in the night when most
of the other little people of the

that often he does not 60 to bed at
all at night. but sleeps in the day
when most honest people are abroad.
He had been roaming about all this
night, and now he had come. to
watch and see what was going on
at Farmer, Browns corncrib, to see
whether or not Farmer Browns Boy
had been setting a trap there for
Sammy jay, as Sammy was so sure
he had.

tuce by the pound we may be quite
inclined to try our best to see what
results we have at lettuce growing.
We are assured that the most
important setp is to find out which
type to grow in our locality. Full
directions will be given on the
package containing the seeds We
now have American-grown lettuce
seeds for our use; in 1865 we had to
get seeds from Europe.
Lettuce, spinach and watercress
have an abundance of vitamin E.
We know that most of the crops
grown in 1943 will be those that are
vital to our health, and it is more
than likely that lettuce will not be
grown on the great scale it has been
in previous years, so that we may
as well realize that we can get our
vitamin G from watercreSs and
Brussels sprouts. Watercress can
be grown in spots where other
plants will not grow. One of the
cheapest rich vegetable sources of
vitamin c is cabbage. While the
lettuce will hold first place with US
as a dainty salad green, we may as
we'll consider substitutes. Latest
information is to the effect that less
lettuce will be planted this year for
home markets, none for shipping.
Evening star., 1942-12-26

OF course, the varieties differ
greatly In adaptation to cultural
conditions. They also differ greatly
in color. tenderness and size. The
lettuce plant Is quite hardy to cold
weather and comes quickly to edible
maturity. It Is not so subject to
disease or insect injury as many of
our other vegetables, but it does
not like dry, hot weather.
Even in a flower garden OF modest
size one can grow enough lettuce for
ones needs for the summer. Where
thinning must be done after the
seeds have produced a healthy
supply Of young plants, these can be
used Is an addition to q vegetable
salad. From one to two yards Of row
per person will yield an abundance
for Is long as = single planting is
usable. This may be a little early
to talk about next summers garden,
though We can help out the vege-
table situation considerably by using
every inch OF our garden space for
the more easily grown vegetables.
