TROPICAL GARDENS Editor, The Citizen: Whoever wrote that editorial “Value of Mulch,” in the March Sst issue of The Citizen, would not, in my opinion, make a failure of a harvest from Mother Earth, the soil. whence we also came.

There are two kinds of fer- tilizer—the natural, as the God given rain water is bet- ter drinking water than our man given, so are our natural ‘fer- tilizers better than the artificial in every way. True, science, chem- ically, has made plants grow and produce without ysojir abut «their method would not be practical. for vou and me. Your editorial has prompted me to wry ree things God given,; and the artificial, man given.
