There arc fourteen large gardens
in the village and the harvest of sev
ere! weeks ago showed a fine crop of
turnips, rutabagas, cabbage, peas,
cauliflower,potatoes and even toma
toes and cucnmhers We never saw
things grow so,not even in ‘Sunny
Kansas’.
All the natives have an abundance
for their winter use,and some have
sold a good deal. We do not see how
the large cellar under the school
house is going to hold the vegetables
even tho severel new houses have
their own cellars.
We arc very proud of our village
lor every o::e has a house.There is
: ot a hut in town.
The harvest has aroused a desire
for still better gardens next year,and
from all prospects they will hardly
have room for their dogs. The me:i
of the village are building a“Plnnt”
hor.se 22 x 22 ft. with windows on
three sides to be used in the spring
for raising their plants, and in the
winter for a work shop, you sec we
are getting a very nice village.
