'Parachute Battalion" 'Moonlight in Hawaii'
Long, Miss Maudelia Long, Jimmy j
Long, Mrs. ola Mercer of Kilgore. Gardening For Defense
i and the honorees Mr. and Mrs. Potts
By Tom Team -
The well-fed—the properly fed 1
ing the supply dependable. The veg- !
etable counter with its every-day-in- |
the-year supply of high quality fresh '
vegetables adorns every A1 grocery J
store in the average town.
But what about the thosuands of j
farm families and town families, too. j
whose income is not sufficient to en- <
able them to buy the fresh vegeta- I
bles so essential to their health?
There is just one answer as I see it:
the year 'round home garden.
Such a garden is possible for ev- !
ery family that needs it, if soil is j
available. I have frequently made j
the assertion through the press and
from the speaker's platform that it j
is possible for ANY East Texas fam- i
ily to go into the home garden any j
day in the year, nine years out of
ten, regardless of the weather, in-
sects, and other pests, and get fresh j
vegetables for the table. There is no 1
"catch" to this statement. Nor is it i
a half-truth—it is the Whole Truth,
whether you believe it or not. |
For thirty years I have demon-
strated the tfuth of this statement
in Cherokee County. This gardening
has 15een carried on succesfully und-
er the varying and adverse condi-
tions of weather, insects and other
pests. Only twice in thirty years has
the weather wiped out my garden en-
tirely. Insects and other pests are al-
ways present, but there are effec-
tive ways of dealing with them. Take
this year, for example, we have had
the heavies infestation of insects of
one kind or another that I have seen
in my thirty years of gardening ex-
perience in this county. I have lost
a number of vegetable crops almost
complete, but I still have an abund-
ant supply for my table every day.
You can do the same thing. Not mag-
ic, but right information and a cer-
tain amount of work wilt turn the
trick.
Based on thirty years of actual
gardening experience in Central
East Texas I am prepared to make
the following statement, which is a
summing up of previous statements
made in this article: Any family in
central east Texas with adequate soil
resources can produce a year'round
garden regardless of the weather, in-
sects or other known pests.
Then why do not more families
have such a garden?
1. I believe the first reason is -they
do not believe it can be done, and
that if it could it would cost more
than it would be worth.
2. They do not know how.
3. Even if the information is made
available there are families that do
not want to "go to the trouble" that
it would take to have such a garden.
On the basis of my experience, no
guessing included, I make bold to

say that you can have such a gar-
den; that its value is many times
greater in dollars and cents, not to
mention its other advantages, than
its actual cost in money and labor.
I have in my records all the infor-
mation needed to enable any one able
and willing to work to produce in
every detail just the kind of price-
less garden I have been writing
about in this article. In the interest
of better living standards for those
in need of such gardens, and as a
contribution to National Defense, it
is my plan to make this information
available through our county papers
during the remainder of this year
and through 1942. Watch your paper
