Of Juniors and how a farm got
its name.
When Mr.. and Mrs. H. w.
Frederick and their 12-year-old
son. Howard. jr., moved out to
Loudoun County little better than
a year ago, they came to live on
a 600-acre, rolling farm named
Green Pastures.
Now anybody will agree that
Green Pastures is a pretty name.
1t indicates all that q farm
should be. You see, in fancy,
the rolling pastures, green and
luxurian, scretching out as far
as the eye can reach. You think
Of rich grass, and green woods,
Of fat cattle and sleek horses.
A good name, all right, but
perhaps not appropriate in this
case. as events will disclose.
When the Fredericks took
over, Lewis Legge, better known
as Junior, was the farm man
ager. Mr.. Legge, a man in his
early sos, is just the sort of a
person a young boy will take to,
and young Howard Frederick
took up with Junior right away.
Everywhere Junior went,
young Howard was there, too.
And every evening he gave his
parents a complete fill-in on the
days activities.
Young Howard was learning
new things. He was learning
about the things that happen on
farm, and about cows and cat
tie. And most Of this new
learning came through Junior
Legge.
So, in the evenings 1t was al
ways Junior says this" or
Junior says that" His reports
to his parents always included
the things that Junior had told
him.
This went on for a time, until
the Fredericks decided they had
a good name for the farm. The
old sign on the stone gate post
came down, and up went new
one. It reads
Junior Says Farm"

It's a good thing my shotgun
won't work. If it would shoot,
there is a good chance I would
have more beef on hand than ]
could get in the deep freeze.
And my freezer is a 32-cubic-foot
one.
AS matters stand now, I still
have my beef on the hoof, and
no corn in the garden to go into
the freezer.
I don't know how they knew
about it, but just when the
garden corn was getting about
ready to pick, the cows came
through the fence and ate il
all off.
Every time I would fix the
fence, they would come along
and break it down again. And
when I stepped up the electric
ity, it just made them &C
through a little faster.
It looks like I'm going to have
to decide on beef or corn. And
the way I feel now it won't be

the fertilizer OF of the foliage
to avoid burning the grass

Now is the season for applying
fertilizer to the strawberry bed
SO that the plants will form a
good set of fruit buds. Keep the
bed free Of grass and weeds that
will compete with the straw
berries for food and moisture.
Last call for planting Ma
donna lilies and oriental poppieS.
Both are worthwhile flowers in
the well-drained flower border.
The planting Of evergreens
should not be delayed, since they
need to be well established be-
fore freezing weather. Enrich
