GREEN FINGERS
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Happy indeed are those fortu-
nate people who live close to the
land where they can watch and
tend growing things. And doubly
fortunate are those with green
fingers" who have a kinship with
the elements of nature, those at
whose touch the earth blossoms
forth.
Ny grandmother was one OF
these. Give her a plot of ground
no bigger than a pocket handker-
chief and she started a garden.
1t was a haphazard sort of affair,
for flowers bordered the vege-
tables and wherever there was a
spare inch of earth, she started
something growing. She was a
spendthrift of time and hospital
ity but a miser when 1t came to
buying anything she could grow.
Her garden was also her Joy and
her comfort for she used to say
IL you had a quick temper and an
impatient disposition, there was
no cure like garden-you could
watch all of life in 1t and you
learned to wait patiently for the
fruit of your handiwork.
This year we are again urged
to go back to the land, to plant
and tend and harvest from our
own soil the fruit of the earth SO
that we may all be well fed. They
did not call them Victory gardens
In pioneer days, nor In our grand
parents times. They were just
part of the family task of earning
living back in the days when
people lived as families, each
member, adult or child, contribut-
ing his OF her share to the COM
mon welfare. All we are being
asked to do now is Just what those
before US did as a matter of
course.
We must tend our gardens care
fully this year. Butt our gar
dens, both of the soil and of life,
we take care to plant the right
seeds. We must watch over them,
watering with care, not washing
out the young plants with floods
of emotion nor letting them damp
out under the dank chill of indif-
ference. We must weed out the
false growths, the tares that
choke, the hateful smothering
things that suck the nourishment
from the growing foods.
In our gardens let us study the
immutable laws of nature fulfill
ing the destiny of life itself. Let
