The show has never lost its

Hundreds Use Land
For Hobbies While

By james BirchfieId

Part-time farming Is becoming
increasingly significant in the
Washington area.
Each year. hundreds of families.
grown tired of city restrictions. are
moving to the outer suburbs.
Part time farmers range from the
executive with a thousand acres
devoted to beef or dairy cattle, or
thoroughbred horses. to the man
with a few acres who hopes to
hold down the family food budget
with vegetable garden, a pig or
two and a family COW.
The real part-time farm is a
family affair 1t may be stretch
ing a point to call the man with
a large farm of several hundred
acres a part time farmer. for
while he may live in the country
and spend part of his time man.
aging his estate. usually the op-
Grafton is large enough to en-
ploy a farm foreman or manager
and other help.
For the smaller operator, coun-
try living is a way of life. He
swaps many city conveniences for
more freedom and a hobby that
helps out on the family income.
Advantages and Hondicops
A family with a few acres in the
country has the advantages Of
family-grown fruits and vege-
tables, plenty of space for the
children and animals to help in the
education of growing boys and
girls.
While there are these advan-
tages to country living, there also
are disadvantages that should be
considered before a family moves
to the country. No person who
does not have fondness for ami
mails and a liking for agronomy
or horticulture will be likely to
make a success of part-time farm
ing. And it has to be a family
affair.
The right location is impor-
tant-the distance from town and
the means of committing should
be considered. 1t is important,
too. that the soil be right for the
project in mind. Too many peo-
pie fall in love with little place
in the country. only to find too
late that it's better suited to rails
ing water lilies than crops.
Some Leon to Pleasures
Part-time farming may take
many forms. Some there are who
lean less to cultivation than to
the pleasures of country life. It
takes only a few acres down in
grass to keep hunter or two for
riding to the hounds. And a
couple of thoroughbred brood
mares kept about the place may
bring in a tidy sum each year
from the yearling sales.

Planting time for woody shrubs
and trees is short: get them into
the ground as rapidly as pos

to become well-rooted before sum-

All planting holes should be
literally supplied with decayed
