As Ye Hoe so Shall Ye Reap 



or some other wanderer in the great 

 voids that lie between the bank vault 

 and the blue one overhead. The diffi- 

 culty is that it has taken me so long 

 to dig up supplies enough to last until 

 day after tomorrow that I am having 

 to file a very strenuous plea for an 

 extension of the time limit in order 

 that I may enjoy for a reasonable 

 period the harvest sweets of human 

 existence. And so if this little book 

 has any message at all for those now 

 headed down the trail it must be just 

 this: 



Hoe! But in working this garden 

 into which you and I and all of us 

 were born do not put off too long the 

 planting and cultivation of a few roses 

 as well as rhubarb; spireas as well as 

 spinach. I know you will produce 

 more beans if you give up all your 

 ground to them than if a little space is 

 devoted to dahlias, and that it may 

 look foolish to erect a martin house 

 instead of building another chicken
