AGAIN GREETINGS 
We have been debating for sometime whether to send a list with our 
{report this year or whether it would be better to let things go. 
The country had been scheduled to go to the dogs if the administra- 
tion‘changed and certain to go there if did not change. Playing safety 
first, we at least refrained from planting any type of evergreen. Some- 
how the country always succeeds in surviving these shocks, here we are 
again as always. Good old Wisconsin probably is listed as not belong- 
ing to to the Union but Democrat, Republican or Progressive, you will 
find our state in the front ranks doing its share to hasten victory. 
Speaking of Progressives, brings to mind J. R. Hopkins. Was a time 
when he was progressive but since becoming editor of the “Midwest 
Reporter” he has not only become conservative but downright destruc- 
tive. Guess maybe all editors get that way. His latest error has been 
in calling my combination cultivator sprayer and refreshment machine 
a “Fulton’s Folly”. 
You too can have such a machine. A small waterpump can be run by 
the motor on your cultivator. It will spray one, two or three rows at a 
time while cultivating. Be sure and build a sunshade over the machine 
and ‘hang a bucket up in the shade. Visitors cannot resist the tempta- 
tion to ask what the bucket is for. We always'tell them it holds ice 
and bottled goods, when available. While we cut Glads for these visit- 
ors they step across the road and take care of the bucket. Try it, Hop. 
You can spray trees with this thing if you care to do so. 
If you don’t know what we are talking about, you are not a memb- 
er of the Midwest Group. Send your Buck to L. E. May, 142 Garden 
Avenue, LaPorte, Indiana. Receive four “Midwest Reporters” during 
the year and belong to the greatest bunch of Glad Fans there are any- 
where. Some experts also, if you exclude yours truly. If feeling liberal 
hearted, you can send additional Bucks. 
The “Reporter” is fine. Lots of good information /hidden among its 
pages. Of course you will alwayd find some things therein that may be 
slightly misleading or only tell part of the story. We note in particular 
the illustration of the Tyler Hill Kid at work. What a lovable, kind 
*hearted chap he must be. A nice soft blanket on an easy riding hay 
“Burner for his wife to ride upon. Trying to convince the. public he 
doesn’t make her work. We question anyones ability to win all the 
ribbons, not to mention getting the blooms to the shows, without hav- 
ing considerable efficient and willing help. We’ll bet Mrs. Fortnam has 
plenty of blisters and callouses on her hands. Drinks if we are wrong; 
at the next Midwest show. Any drink other than malteds or sodas, we
