Seeder’s Digest 
As you know, there is a growing tendency 
to shorten things. Remember the old horse- 
blanket ‘folding money’? The smaller bills 
much better. 
Remember mustaches of the Gay Nineties 
and a decade or two after? Those luxuriant 
stream-lined handle bar models? I still won- 
der how they were grown to such colossal size 
long before we heard the praises of “Full 
Meal” PLANTABBS. 
Other examples are shorter and fewer phone 
calls. Joy rides, if any are shorter. Time is al- 
ways short—and ration points, too. 
The short way is the hard way. Ever hear 
this one? About the man who wrote a five- 
page letter to a friend, and finished with this 
apology: “‘Please excuse this long letter. I'm 
too busy to write a short one.” And he wasn’t 
trying to be funny. Mull this over. Try writing 
with fewer words. 
Now if we could have shorter radio com- 
mercial announcements—but why bring that 
up? It doesn’t get us anywhere. Still too much 
blah-blah. Makes me sick. 
This little home-made catalogue well de- 
serves the title) THE SEEDER’S DIGEST. 
Not only have we condensed descriptions, but 
have pruned the number of kinds, retaining 
the improved varieties best for the home 
atone eg te nearby markets. “I hope you like 
it.’—J

Weed ‘em and Reap 
Don’t ever tet the weeds get big. 
{isn't it, how we think we're doing something 
great when slaughtering big weeds, but don’t 
feel. half that glow of satisfaction if we 
kill ‘em off when small and when it is so much 
easier done. But the fime to get the weeds is 
before they take their toll from the soil’s fer- 
tility. Frequent raking, hoeing and cultivating 
is the way to get the weeds just as sprouting. 
“Irritating the Garden” 
Funny, 
One summer evening a caller at a Boulder 
home asked the little girl who came to the 
door: “Is your father home?” “Yes,” replied 
the little miss, “he’s in the back yard irritat- 
ing the garden.” 
Many do just that—squirt water on gar- 
dens a few minutes only, which does little 
more than “irritate” the garden. 
Tiny plants do need just a little light sprin- 
kling at a time and often. But when plants are 
larger they want a good thorough soaking once 
in a while, then should be left alone a few 
days, maybe a week. Is far better to give a 
good watering. then cultivate as soon as 
the ground is dry enough, than to keep “irri- 
tating” the garden with daily light sprinkling, 
which brings the feeding roots to the surface 
instead of keeping them at work lower down.
