A RANDOM
THOUGHT...
By J. Troy Hickman
(Note: This week 1 loan my
space to my wife, who hits some-
thing she wants to say about
flowers and related things.
-J. T. 11.)
TIIK SOCIETY OF
THE (iUKEN THUMB
Itv Catherine K. Iliekmuii
A friend of mine kepi a neigh-
bor's cat for a little while a few
years ago and in gratitude the
neighbor brought her a bulb that
grew into a tall white lily with
red stripes. So many people ad-
mired it that my friend started
giving the new bulbs away, as
fast as the plant made them.
I got one. Since then I have
given one to a friend in Austin.
Today at least fifteen growers
enjoy having this lovely lily.
Among people who love to grow
plants, there is an informal and
unorganized Society Of The Green
Thumb, whose members are able
lo recognize each other and en-
joy the interest that unites them.
A drive in any town will show
well-kept yards with flowers, and
also yards without much that is
pretty in them. Pretty yards lend
to be contagious. If my neighbor
has an attractive yard, it makes
me want to improve my own.
When I compliment a neighbor
about some pretty plant in her
yard, nearly every time she will
offer me a start of it. Of course,
in return I offer a start of any-
thing I have that she wants. And
if still another neighbor admires
my plants, 1 am eager to give
her a start from them. This prac-
tice multiplies the beauty of a
town, is fun to l>e part of, and
helps one make new friends. In
addition, a yard with beautiful
things in it is a pleasant sight
to every person who passes by,
friend or stranger.
We have an attractive fern
which was given us by a friend
who got his plant from a sister.
One day I went lo see the sister's
fern. It is pretty and vigorous
and looks none the worse for hav-
ing losl so many of its children
to others.
An acquaintance in Austin, one
whom we have known for many
years, has become an expert in
certain types of lilies. Being a
retired man and a scholar, he
has studied his subject well. lie
is always working with new va-
rieties, enters all the shows, and
has come to be known by flower
lovers over the city. Countless
persons have had their flower-
interests stimulated by visits to
his greenhouse and his exhibits
in the shows. He has given starts
of his bulbs lo more people than
he can remember. With him the
interest is a hobby which is one
of the centers of his life. For
years he has sent seed to a leper
colony, and has given thousands
of plants and bulbs to the prison
farm at Huntsville.
My husband and I have lived
in more than a dozen places dur-
ing our years together. In all but
three of them, we have been able
lo have flowers. When we move
from one parsonage to another,
1 usually bring along some sprigs
of the best things in our former
yards lo the new one. Nearly
every plant of our own which we
have now has been given us by
some friend or group, so that
when we move we carry along
these reminders of former friend-
ships My flower garden is more
meaningful to me because it helps
me remember so many persons
and places who have shared with
us. A few of the things came from
strangers from afar, and others
from friends near by.
Once we moved into a brand
new parsonage. It was our lot
there to plan and start I he yard
plants. The space had been a
sandy vacant lot with lots of red
anl hills and scrubby mesquite
clumps 'flic Women's Society of
the church came up with a chirk
In he spent on the new place, 1

Japan Is Largest
Farm Export
Customer
The United States Department
of Agriculture has recently an-
nounced that a record one and
one-tenth billion dollars worth of
U. S. Farm Products were pur-
chased by Japan during the 1970
fiscal year. Japan thus becomes
the first billion dollar off-share
buyer for American farmers.
Gilbert Raemsch, Chairman of
the Bastrop County ASC Coin-
mil lee, reports an approximate
breakdown of these farm com-
modity exports lo Japan as fol-
lows:
Feed Grains — $260,(MM).000
Soy Beans — $251,000,000
Wheat — $136,000,000
Cotton — $100,000,000
Tobacco — $50,000,000
All other commodities
— $300,0(H),000
Secretary of Agriculture, CI If-
ford M. Hardin, calls the Ameri-
can-Japanese trade story as un-
precedented in American History,
and points out that American
Farm Commodity Surpluses are
gradually dwindling as a result of
increased exports.

Nation to observe
Day of Bread, Oct. 6
Bread, man's very staff of
existence for 1(),(MM) years, will
receive recognition October 6, as
Americans observe the second
annual "Day of Bread." Jt
Established in 1969, by a joint
Congressional resolution, a Day
of Bread is to be observed an-
nually each October. The pur-
pose is to recognize the essential
role that wheat and wheat-pro-
ducts play in our lives.
Of all food products, bread has
universal acceptance as the one
most basic. "Bread' gains great-
er meaning throughout the world
as governments concern them-
selves with the increasing prob-
lems of feeding Ihc hungry and
undernourished, both in this coun-
try and abroad.
One of the methods of solving
this "hunger" problem is through
nutrition education. Tltc annual
Day of Bread observance is part
of that educational program.
In the United States, diseases
such as pellagra and beriberi
wi re virtually eliminated follow-
ing the enrichment of bread, bo-
[gun in 1911.
The bread enrichment program
[was piompted !i> an alarming
{incidence ol nutritional deficiency
!
'diseases found throughout the
country in the 1930's. Bread and
flour were selected to widen the
distribution of the "enrichment"
ingredients, including essential B
vitamins and food iron.
Today, bread is as much the
staff of life as it was 10,000 years
ago when man first learned to
make it. The average American
gels more of the nutrition he
needs at less cost from bread
than any other food. The pio-
tein, vilamins, and minerals in
bread form a protective power
that is basic to good nutrition.
A Day of Bread has been ob-
served in West Germany for 20
years. II spread to other coun-
tries of the Continent, to the
Americas, ami the Far East. List
year, President Nixon, the Gov-
ernors of .'{5 states, and the May-
ors of scores of cities, proclaim-
ed the first Day of Bread in
America.
This year, the principal "Day
of Bread" observance in ihe
United States will come on Tues-
day, October 6. In Texas, local
observances are licing coordinat-
ed by the Texas Bakers' Associa-
tion in conjunction with whole-
sale bakers, retail bakers, ami
local loud stores.
Lions To Sell
(llcaniii" Aids

The Bastrop Lions Club will
conduct an allout drive on Octo-
ber 13, 1970, to sell quality blind-
made products lo residents and

ticles are all manufactured by

The Lion Club's earnings from
this sale will be used for the
Lion's Crippled Children's Camp
and eyeglasses.
The entire membership of the
Lions Club has been organized
to supply friends and neighbors
with this quality merchandise
delivered right lo their homes,
lively household can use some
type of household cleaning aid
and every item sold helps some

held by the Bastrop Lions Club
in previous years have been most
successful and Lion Maynard ex-
pressed his confidence in another
successful sale this year.
