Nobody knew a thing about it but God and me. The sunlight streaming through the cedar boughs rivaled any stained glass window in the world, and 1 was surrounded by an anthem of birdsong. The sermon was delivered by my conscience, a pastor who pulls no punches. I have always been an enthusiastic gardener. When my boys were small, they tagged me around the garden while 1 worked and 1 taught them the correct names of my many plants. One day I received a regretful little note from a neighbor saying that her children would no longer be organic gardening. She has some sort of a working arrangement with the bugs and they give her no trouble. I asked her how she grew such lovely plants without the aid of chemicals. "I talk to them a lot," she said You should see her roses. They are the undisguised disgust Of all the neighborhood. She sprays not; neither does she dust, And they are good. High on the list of remarks that tend to terminate any tendency on my part toward a tentative friendship is the inevitable one: '+Why don't you sell it and move into town?" Running a close second is "Get rid of that horse before he kills somebody!" But the one that really makes my day is "I like your poems. You should have been a writer."

Ima ie On the "Broken Toe Ranch" specimensot many types, old Chinese near Lakeland Village there lives a In her greenhouse grow dogs-a regis lady who is so very accomplished seedling evergreens and orange a p a r t- in so very many fields that she trees. During the winter she usesit C h i h u a h u never knows a dull moment, to propagate cuttings and start crossbreed. Mrs. Elma Niepoth is skilled in plants from seed. pound Ch all sorts of handicrafts and she fashions innumerable art objects including intricate miniatures; she is more than handy with a hammer and a saw, and she has built, among other things, a greenhouse; she is no mean performer with a+shovel and a spade, and atte$1~ag to the fact are her landscaped grounds and gardens. She is a rockhound and a beachcomber and she has an admirable display of driftwood and stones. She collects bottles and brass bells. She is a horsewoman, and spends hours in the saddle. But first and foremost, she isa gardener, and her specialty is grafting. She started her experiments in this field 20 years ago, with only the knowledge supplied by Mr. Webster in his dictionary; now, she herself could undoubtedly write a book on the subject. For root stock, Mrs. Niepoth uses whatever is available; this is very often wild apple, onto which she grafts varieties such as Gravenstien, McIntosh, Jonathon, and other favorites. She prefers to make her grafts with pencil size wood, and she will use next year the wood which makes its growth this year. Although she has many grafted trees, her special pride is a tree whose varieties include McIntosh, Jonathon, two types of yellow Delicious, two kinds of Gravenstien and a red crab apple. One graft bore fruit attaining weights of one and ,a quarter pounds. On these, Elma applied adhesive tape in such a way that when removed after the apple had ripened, names and designs were imprinted. Mrs. Niepoth grafts other trees also. "One can graft seed fruits to seed fruits and pit fruits to pit fruits," she explained. She has grown trees from seed. A walnut tree planted in 1947 bore for the first time last year, producing a total of 13 nuts. A seed-grown peach tree produced quantities of bloom this year but no fruit as yet. She has tall maples raised from transplanted seedlings. Elma has raised many of her splendid plants from cuttings; these include countless roses, old as well as new varieties, flowering Elma and her husband Harry who have lived in their present home since 1945, are members of the Veterans of World War One Post and Auxiliary of Belfair, and they belong to the Silver Stars Saddle Club. They have a son, William, who is a college professor in California; they have two grandsons. Family pets include a 14 year mix, but little to horses on Niepoth find time.
