Hybrid Corn Company Lloyd Colbert Phone 3430 Weeping Vater Miss Marlene Wetenkamp Plan Summer Vacation For Child Mothers know youngsters sel dom find the summer vacation quite as entrancing as they ex pected it to be. After spending three-quarters of the year in organized school routine, an aimless period of unplanned freedom is bound to pall on them. Now's the time to interest them in a worthwhile program which will give them a sense of per sonal accomplishment, teach them self-discioline and awaken an interest in an exciting hobby . . .gardening. With a little help from Mother and Dad to get them started, raising a garden of their own can be a most re warding summer experience. If you have a dollar and cents child, who approaches life from a strictly practical standpoint, he'll want to plant a vegetable garden. One fifteen cent packet of vegetable seed can produce over five dollars worth of vege tables. Raising a garden for fun and having it turn into a money making proposition can open up a whole new world to a child in the intrinsic value of physical endeavor. For the child who responds estheticlly to the world around him, a flower garden is the an swer. The delicate colors of the flowers he raises, the perfect forms and the fragrant scents, will heighten his appreciation of the beauty of Nature. These first experiences in his own flower garden will remain with him all of his life.
