LETS HANG A STOCKING 



Dear Folks : 



You usually read this message in the late winter, but it is written 

 just before Christmas, and Christmas is certainly in the air just 

 now. At home the kiddies are thinking of nothing but Santa Claus. 

 They don't expect a big Christmas this year, but they are full of 

 hope that old Santa will not pass them by. 



So, as we plan for their happiness, we wonder if it is possible 

 that Santa would pay us a visit, too. The kiddies have sublime faith 

 in the old fellow but what of ours ? Let's try it. Let's hang a stock- 

 ing. Not just for Christmas eve, but for the whole year through. 

 Not just at the fireplace, but out of doors, in the garden, for the 

 garden will fill that stocking. 



Dig in your garden and those stiff, unused muscles will loosen up. Cultivate it, weed it 

 and see how the old appetite returns. But the greatest thrill of all comes with the harvest of 

 fresh peas, corn, beans and loads of them. Fill the table with steaming, fresh from the gar- 

 den, vegetables and watch the hunger march begin. 



Try it out and your stocking will be filled, for fresh vegetables, renewed health and loads 

 of fun will be your return. It's easy on the pocketbook from the start and will help swell it 

 Ynany times when the harvest comes. 



Cordially yours,

 low, in too wet 

 weather, cold weather, 

 or too dry soil, or too 

 wet soil, insects which 

 do not only destroy the
