.The dry weather has continued 
Into early fall (October) and some 
farmers have lost almost their entire 
feed crops. I found the dry weather 
_a heavy tax on my strength, as wa- 
ter for the plants had to be drawn, 
with pulley and bucket, from a deep 
well, and then be caried some _ dis- 
tance. I would like to install , before 
next spring, a big tank to catch rain- 
water from the roof; but the bureau- 
crats have the say about such pro- 
duction and distribution. We can 
only pray and labor that the “gim- 
mes” may not be able, this coming 
November, to saddle the present 
bureaucracy on us for another four 
years.

HARDY ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
HARDY SEDUMS. All Sedums I 
call hardy can survive 15 below zero 
without protection . Some of them 
are hardy in the sub-Arctic. Most 
are fine for rock garden plants. Last 
year my Semrervivums made almost 
no increase. This year most are 
hatching “chicks” and when my 
backlog of orders left over from last 
year, are filled, I hope ’ll have a 
number of varieties of hardy Semps 
to offer. This is a rock garden plant 
par excellence. Most of the dwarf 
plants listed under other heads, and 
many of the wildlings, are also good 
for rock gardens. 
I have a few plants of Alum Root 
to spare. This is a fine rock garden 
plant and also good as a pot plant.

Any of the above plants, 5c each
