FARMING dTJESSE LEE
IS PRODUCTIVE OF
EXCELLENT RESULTS
Sewardites will be interested in
learning that the Jesse Lee Horn:
farming venture this summer was
marked with success and good re
nd ts. According to an account
in the “Kueuit”\ a mimeographed
publication of the Jesse Lee Home
ihe ground was broken for part
of the garden by May 1, and plant
ing started in earnest. Radishes,
onions, turnips, cabbage, beets,
hard, carrots, lettuce and kohl
rabi, were planted as well as
about nine-tenths of an acre of
potatoes.
The seed potatoes were secured
from Matanuska. They were late
in arriving and delayed the plant
ing somew'hat. The Jesse Lee
Home also planted mangel wur
zels, a large rooted variety of the
common beet for feeding to stock.
Field crops included about an
acre of oats and peas, which were
later cut and put into the silu,
making several tons of green feed.
A half acre of .barley was also put
into the silo- Besides the above
fodder there was about a third of
an acre of kale which is to be fe£
to the cows and chickens.
The garden yield for this year
was extra good and about 30,000
radishes were pulled. The cook
’ ery department was furnished
with all the lettuce they could use
several thousand green onions
and all the greens the children
cared for. Two hundred quarts of
vegetables were canned and the
; cellars were stored with about a
half ton of turnips, about 500
| pounds of rutabagas, 400 pounds
' of beets and 300 pounds of cab
bage.
The Jesse Lee poultry has done
very well this year. They have 85
hens and about 70 young chicks
rhich ?/ere raised this summer.
The Home has also began rais
ing rabbits this summer. They
have four at present, three of
which are pedigreed fur rabbits
of the Chinchilla breed.
The remainder of the livestock
includes eight milch cows, which
furnished the Home with all the
milk that was needed thruout the
summer, and a great quantity of
butter- There are also 19 pigs in
cluded in the livestock, consisting
of three brood sows^ one herd sire
and 12 young pigs which are
being fattened.
Last but not forgotten are the
goats. There are seven milking
now and three to freshen this
winter Then there are foil- kids.
The peats furnish much of Lie
needed rich milk for the under
nourished children at the Jesse
Lee Home.
