Letter to Joe and Lowell from Arthur Mizner
"Burghill May 19-38
Hello Joe and Lowell thot I would try a few lines
this am. as it raining here and has more or less for two
days, have been extra busy all the spring. have more
or less garden planted 1/2 acre sweet corn up large
enough to cultivate, and same amt. of potatoes
and two rowes of telephone peas on poultry fencing
acros the garden, a foot high and going right up
to the top. and more or less of other garden plants
planted the tomato seed you gave me and are
doing fine. about ready to set out.
I managed to set out 2000. strawberries plants
this season. a big 1/2 acre, and the are doeing
fine this damp weather. so there will be something
doeing around this ranch next Strawberry time,
I planted about everything Good Friday in
April. and if that means anything, ought to be in
the money soo, we had two of the hardest
freezes here last Thur. and Fri. nite. I about ever
saw in my time around here, but did no
damage to my gardens or fruit trees. cant quite
understand it, unless it is that I live
right, The County agent says there will be no
peaches in the County, and I have several
bu. right now on the trees, and a fair outlook
for other Fruits, haveing a heck of a time trying
to spray. this kind of weather. Sprayed about
everything monday this week. and comenced about
rain in the eve and rained most of the time
since. I had to fix the front porch with a new
sill and part new flooring. and have opened up
a new gravel pit out in the grove. next to the
north line, have fixed up the drive all the way
to the barn. like new. and am fixing up the lot down
at the cemetery now. and will be in the market for
orders soon.
had a letter from California from the folks.
They are not so well Father just about gets around
with two canes, but are comfortifully well
other ways. am playing the Bug some. I
