WHEN MORNING CO: 



Dear Folks: 



Of more importance than ever before is the need of carefuj 

 planning which lies before us. There will come no aid nor even 

 satisfaction from sitting back and groaning over hard times, 

 parched fields and dry springs. More than ever before we need 

 to look ahead, and looking ahead, to do so hopefully. 



We need not forget that there has been a past. In fact, our 

 best plans, the ones surest to bring fruit, will be those weighed in 

 the scales of past experience. There will be those, who through 

 experimentation this past year, obtained successful results from 

 drought control and will want to expand their gardens under arti- 

 ficial water supply. All will feel an urge to weigh each purchase 

 carefully; to see that the best fertilizers, the ones giving the 

 biggest returns per dollar spent, are used; to see that the best 

 tools are provided for the most thorough ground preparation and 

 cultivation, moisture conservation; to obtain the best in seeds, 

 high in viability, the ones that will give uniform crops that will 



attract contented customers in largest volume at times when they most need and want fresh, 



crisp vegetables and fruits. 



To those who plan this carefully, the darkness will brighten soon. It will be good to 

 see fresh, crisp gardens again, to walk among them in the dew. The twilight will break 

 through when we least expect it, but he who has carefully planned will be ready for it and 

 will profit greatest by it. Beauty will be easy to see then. The land will be fresher, purer.

 reasons why seeds do not always turn out as de- 

 sired such as sowing too deep or too shallow, in too 

 wet weather, cold weather or too dry soil, or too 

 wet soil, insects which do not only destroy the 

 seeds, but often the young plants, about the time 

 they appear at the surface of the ground. For 

 these causes we cannot guarantee seeds or the crop.
