When Mother was appointed leader of the.lMerry Maidens' Gar- den Club she asked me if I would like to join. Since I like flowers, I thought it would be fun to belorug to a club of girls and have my own garden. But a garden brings its woes as well as joys and I'll never forget what a time I Thad planting my first petunias and tomatoes in flats. Mother was sick in bed and I near- ly ruined my vocal organs asking her how to pulverize the soil press re s F F seeds into it, dampen them, cover them with wet paper and place them under the stove. Keeping the soil damp, the heat soon germinat- ed the seeds and I was showing my friends my plants which I had growing in the south windows. Hav- ing beginner's luck, I was able to give my friends some too. In, the meantime my brothers and I" picked the stones off my garden and Grandpa, who had a wonder- fully straight eye, helped me make the rows. Planting the seeds ac- cording to directions, my hopes . were high for my luscious vege- tables which were to be just like the ones to be seen in the seed catalogue. Soon my dreams had a terrible fall for Dad sowed fertiliz- er over the ground with the seed drill and somehow by accident the oats sowed also. Dad said it was the best oat field he had on the farm. What a job we had removing them, not to .mention my nice straight rows which became zigzag and some of the smaller seeds were hopelessly lost and had to be re- planted. Still I had a good garden and the green peas were the most delicious I have ever tasted, One day a friend had so much enjoy- ment from eating my- green peas, which he said they were just like the ones he had as a farm boy, that I considered all my garden aches -worthwhile.

The meekest little calf sees red when he's faced with a pail—bucks and bawls like a wild steer. No wonder farm boys dislike playing foster mother to a stubborn calf. It is one of the few tasks that are just as difficult and disagreeable as they, were in 'grandpa's day. A mechanical calf weaver may remain a dream of weary farm boys, but modern power machinery has already revolutionized most other farm jobs. This equipinent saves much of the muscle work that farming:used to require, and steals hours from the clock that can be invested in other projects or spent. with the family. It reduces the weather hazard, cuts production costs—helps to make farming a more stable and profitable business. No wonder so many farm boys are sticking with the land rather than seeking their fortunes in the city. They are dis- covering first-hand that the farm offers opportunities for profit and a satisfying way of life that few jobs in tri wn can, match. Yes, modern John Deere power equipment is doing. a lot to keep our ambitious boysand girls on the farm where their leadership can help to realize our dream of a more productive agriculture,, a stronger America, and a better world.
