toward my typewriter and wanted
to know what / was going to tell
people along the RID. this week.
When l confessed to having a
blank yet open mind she said,
why don't you tell them about
the time you and Dale decided to
get rich raising vegetables for the
market or as you put it so elegant,
truck farming"
1t is said that person can
completely forget an unpleasant
experience; when soul shaking
something, happens the mind can
draw curtain over the happen
ing and it is wiped away as if
nothing ever happened.
That is something you read
about and if you will sit down
here with cooling drink in your
hand | will tell you about the
time we decided to raise truck for
those unfortunate people who liv-
ed IN town and couldn't plant ten
cents worth of seeds, expend a
hundred dollars worth of effort
and come up with exactly 'narn to
nothing as we did.
1t all came about this way:
had always sold garden sass along
with my butter and eggs l carried
into town each week. Of course, l
always picked out the very best of
the lettuce, cucumbers and to-
matoes along with squash and
other things dear to the hearts of
twon folks; my piggy bank al
way grew and waxed fat and
many is the time we dipped into
1T for money to buy the necessary
things of life.
Honestly, if the wife of farm
er didn't have butter and egg
money many is the time the phone
and light bill wouldn't be paid,
or a tooth fixed or as was the
case last week, our saddle horse
got shod for the horse show in
Liberty.
Our first venture was raising
cucumberS -. we made a bumper
crop. believe every seed grew
two vines and every vine produc-
ed as many cucumbers as there
was space to hang on.
Now l have been friends with
cucumbers all my life from
the very first one on the vines,
allowed to get big enough to slice
and eat after it had been soaked
IN vinegar for an hour or so.
Mama picked jars and jars of
the delicious things in every form
known to her sweet. sour
. +. dill chunk whole,
sliced, Clipped, chopped, rings,
mustard, seven-day, twenty-one-
day,and the hardly-fit-to-eat way,
where you pack a jar full of raw
cucumbers, add a spoon of salt, a
hot pepper or two, fill the lar
with cold vinegar, seal and call it
pickle.
Next week will tell of the care
we gave those cucumber vines
and the results.
Sweetly be,
Rose Budd.
