chronicles ol ginger farm the wheat is out in head and the spring crop is just nicely through the ground a at least farmers will not be grumbling this year about having to cut oats and barley before they have bad a chance to get their wheat in the barn at any rate right now it doesnt look as if there will be any occasion for grumbling on that score nor are we likely to hear any com plaints about the weather being too ouol these days summer has arrived with a vengeance and as usual most people find that the heat a little too much for comfort i am one of them but f am also trying to be one of the many who dont let the heat get them down but its mighty hard work at limes v must admit but do you know it is even possible to take ad vantage of the humidity sort of make it your slave instead of your master at any rate i found it pos sible one day last week and heres how i did li lt was just before that bad thunder storm we had there was so much humidity in the air that day that our downstair bedroom walls were damp the room looked as if it had just been papered it hadnt but it so happens that it is going to be that is if x ever get around to it with that thought in mind 1 looked at the walls that day and i thought what a grand time this would be to strip the paper off the walls 1 dont believe it would need any wet ting at all welt here goes i said to myself iio time like the present and so i forthwith set to work and in less than two hours i had ttie walls completely stripped and hardly any muddle at all all i had to do was sweep up the paper and burn it yes that is how easily i did the sldewalls but the celling that was a different story the paper couldnt have stuck tighter bad it bean put on with glue but a little cooperative planning helped with that job a friend of mine needed help with some sewing so she came down for the day and while i did her sewing she tackled my unrinlnhed celling and in that way both job were done to our mutual satisfaction tonight i am going out to help with another kind of job and i luive no doubt that if i need any help in return i sluill uot it an 1 nm well aware that this particular ticlulilror is much ivetter at u uood many jobs thnn i nm but thut of course is he- side the xlnt one doesnt help m4l the main thought in mind of inflij telped in return and yet it often does uork out that one does get help luitk at some time or another however the imiwrtant thing is thnt if wo are able to do a job whlcli- a friend or neighbor ma ho afraid to tackle then it u up to us to offer to do that job it it one small way in which vo con help out in these difficult times there is an acute shortuge of help no matter uhlrh way vo turn and we hnve junt lotto lournto flxthmgourselves7 either in the family or with the help of a nelghlior or friend not all per sons are good at the same thing and yet nearly everyone is good nt some thing now is the time to put our wits and our hands to work m thnt we may help ourteelvet und our com munity in any way that we may find possible of course cooperative work like ever thing else requlreste little per sonal sacrifice to bo successful it miiy not be too convenient to help our neighbor paper a room or quilt a comforter just at the time when she needs it done it may be that we hud planned to spend what time we could tipare in the garden well now theres a chance to trade jobs again tulk it over with mrs a offer to help her with her papering and invite her to work with you la your garden there really no limit to what co operation can do which reminds me i believe i wrote in this column some tune ago that i mas rather fed up with so much talk of cooperation i am still fed up with talk of cooperation but i am and always have been very much in favor of cooperation in action when properly carried out in the meantime my chickens sound as if a little cooperation is needed out in the chicken house i provide the feed and they eat it and so they grow if either of us falls down on
