We are still, early August, in our 
usual summer dry spell. Heavy 
thunder showers late in July broke 
the heat wave for a short while, but 
we are again sweltering in 100- 
plus weather. 
This makes plain the great need 
for water for plants at this season. | 
have read that soil six feet deep, rich 
in humus for that depth, will carry 
plants safely through several months 
of drought. Very few of us have 
made our gardens as much as two 
feet deep. Leaves are burned _ in- 
stead of being buried and gardens 
wilt for lack of water. 
To The Readers of The 
Yellow Sheets: 
Let us all do ourselves a big favor 
by doubling the circulation of The 
Yellow Sheets. We can do this by 
each giving a friend a subscription 
to it. It is only 30c and not only will 
we have the pleasure of the gift to 
a friend, we will help Mrs. Cole in 
her struggle to give us an interesting 
magazine. For the greater the circu- 
lation, the greater will be the articles 
of interest, and response to ads pub- 
lished. 
After all it is the subscribers’ mag- 
azine, and it is up to us to help make 
a good little magazine better. | 
am sending a friend’s name and 30c 
with this letter. I hope ever sub- 
scriver will do likewise. 
—Mrs. R. Gable, Haralson, Ga. 
When I read Mrs. Gable’s letter, 
I right straight thanked the Lord, 
for | am sure He directly inspired it, 
used her as his assistant. You know 
we are promised the chance of 
working with the Lord as well as 
for Him. 
And this letter is also a token to 
me that the Lord accepts my offer- 
ing, for The Yellow Sheets is defi- 

nitely a service for the Kingdom of 
God, NOT a money-making busi- 
ness for myself. You know the Old 
Testament gives us many glimpses 
of economic conditions in the King- 
dom of God. Among other points, 
home owning and_ gardening will 
have prominent places. And our 
life here is surely a training for the 
next, for, in the parable of Dives and 
Lazarus, Jesus makes it plain that we 
take our memories with us. 
The Yellow Sheets is intended to 
help, by helping the busy, hard 
working woman, who must closely 
count the pennies, get more soul 
satisfying enjoyment out of her gar- 
den. There is plenty of literature for 
the woman who can hire a yard man 
occasionally, but I know of no other 
intended for the woman who must 
carefully consider if she can afford 
another packet of seed. 
If you approve of this objective 
and want to help, there are several 
ways in which you can. Firstly, as 
Mrs. Gable suggests, use subscrip- 
tions as gifts to your friends. Sec- 
ondly, advertise in it. The paper 
carries no ads for liquor, porno- 
graphic literature, nor anything else 
out of the range of good women; 
but anything of interest to good 
women is welcome and appreciated. 
You may not have anything to 
sell, but | never knew of an honest- 
to-goodness gardener who did not 
like to swap plants. If you have a 
really nice plant to spare and would 
like to swap it for something else, 
please advertise in The Yellow 
Sheets. Then another way, if you 
are a dealer and issue circulars, 
please hire me to mail out some of 
them. My rates will be found in this 
issue. I have a big mailing list of 
garden lovers and other hobbyists. 
And last, but not least, speak a good
