Teacher Has Her Own Farm.

Miss Anna Nedobtyty, teacher at the Franklin school, has demonstrated her ability as a practical farmer by raising asparagus on her "five-acre country home near Davis Crossing on the White Bear road. ; - . After 25 years of teaching in the St Paul public schools Miss Nedobyty determined to try her hand at vegetable gardening. _ .» She first decided on- the bee industry, but after investigating gave if up because of the amount of time it takes to care for the bees. She then spent a summer on a berry farm to learn how to raise berries. That was abandoned because of occasional-failure of crops. After consulting with experts on farm products she-decided on asparagus, because a Crop is certain regardless of frost, late spring or dry summer. *Then, too, it is easy to take care of, the cutting being all over with by June and nothing is left to do but keep down the weeds until about the middle of August Miss Nedobyty will soon make the first cutting, and she declares she will have a good yield. 1 ..I'- ■ Two years ago a modern two-story six-room house waa erected, and since that time Miss Nedobyty has lived there each year from April until De. cember 1. When school is in session She comes in each morning and returns each evening, the farm being 30 minutes’ ride from the downtown district—St. Paul Aoneer Press.
