ti 2IVES, 

Another H.F. Wedding 
Of course I didn’t really have anythjng 
to do with this wedding. I only furnish 
a free rose or peony to any newlywed who 
will send me their wedding picture. And 
that offer goes for Seed Sense readers 
contemplating matrimony. Might as well 
take advantage of the offer. Free things 
are mighty scarce. 
The newlyweds here are Mr, and Mrs. 
John KE. Brown, Jr. (formerly Miss Ella 
Mae Noble, daughter of Mr. and’ Mrs. J. H. 
Noble. They were attended by their cou- 
sins, Private Wm. E. Kitto and Miss Vir- 
ginia Flynn. 
A Good Lesson for Your Child 
Nothing teaches you and I or our chil- 
dren like doing something for ourselves. 
And it seems like most folks who write 
me about how much good my Junior 
Seedsman club is doing, stress the fact 
of how much good training their boys 
and girls get from it. 
Not only do they see and meet a lot 
of different kind of people and learn that 
some are gruff and cross and some are 
nice and kind, but they learn how to 
make change, how to sell, how to keep 
records and best of all, that good man- 
ners and a little effort pay big dividends. 
Of course, the boys and girls don’t haye 
to make investment in the seed—I fur- 
nish all that to them—but they do have 
to learn to take the responsibility of 
taking care of the seed I send them and 
seeing that it is not lost but all sold or 
accounted for. And that’s a good lesson 
for them to learn. 
Anyway, more boys and girls than ever 
are joining the club this year and earning 
money or premiums for themselves while 
they learn a good lesson in life at the 
same time. Of course, seeds are mighty 
easy to sell this year with everyone plant- 
ing victory gardens- and with the Jr. 
Seedsman collection such a bargain, but 
the training and experience is there ney- 
ertheless. Encourage them to try it. 
They’ll be better off for the experience it 
if they will.

The 
lawn is beautiful. Everyone wants to 
know what kind of grass seed we used 
and we’re always giad to tell them about 
you.”’—Mr, and Mrs. J. M. Lee, Spring-

And now’s the time to get that lawn 
seed sowed. If you haven’t got yours 
ordered, get it quick. We have plenty.

“Gentlemen: 
Plenty of Bug Dust 
We still have plenty of Bug Dust put 
up and ready for you. Shortages haven’t 
affected us too much on this yet, but it 
may catch us before the season is over. 
So be sure and add the amount of Bug 
Dust you will need to your Garden Seed 
or Nursery order so you’ll be sure and 
have it when you need it. 3 lbs., $1.00, 
postpaid. 
Still Have Few Dustguns 
I still have a few thousand of our 
smaller size dustgun that sells for 40c¢ 
postpaid, but am clear sold out of the 
large size that sells for $1.00. And I 
don’t believe I can get more. The small 
one is big enough, anyway, for all except 
you who have exceptionally large gar- 
dens. 
Of course, I’ll keep filling your orders 
until I run clear out, so please don’t be 
mad with me if I am foreed later to send 
your money back because we get sold out 
of the small ones, too. I can assure you 
of this, if they become available any- 
where, you can get them at Henry Field’s.

A Conglomeration Garden 
Here’s what one little boy and girl — 
raised from the ic conglomeration packet 
they got from Henry Field. Looks like 
they got a little bit of everything. Any 
other boy and girl can have a conglomer- — 
ation packet for 1c, if he’ll send his penny — 
with his folks’ garden seed order -and — 
make sure it’s his own penny. Hach con-~ 
glomeration packet has a little bit of seed 
you can have a lot of fun sorting it out ~ 
before planting it and seeing what grows. 
These are the children of Mrs. Ray H. 
Johnson of Almena, Kans. who are boost- 
ers of our seed—especially our cabbage 
and tomatoes. 
How to Count Rats! 
Harold Gunderson says in the. Iowa 
State Farm Science Reporter that you 
can count the rats on your place as fol- 
lows: 
There are 1 to 100 rats present, 
rats are never seen, but rats are visible. 
There are 100 to 500 rats if rats are seer 
occasionally at night. There are 500 to 
1,000 if rats are seen every night and 
occasionally during the day. There are 
1,000 to 5,000 if lots are seen at night 
and several every day. 
This is not just dreamed up. This is 
the result of many rat extermination 
campaigns and is reasonably accurate. 
Rats destroy millions of dollars worth 
of property every year and there is no 
way to exterminate them successfully — 
except to keep perpetually after them. 
One of the best and easiest ways we know 
is to use Rat Ruin—harmless to warm- 
blooded tanimals like chickens and dogs, 
ete. on your place but death to rats.
