Freedom From Fear

 By 1920, for the first time in the

nation’s history, a majority of Americans were city dwellers. In the fol-

lowing decade, some six million more American farmers quit the land

and moved to the city.

Yet the urbanization of early twentieth-century America can be ex-

aggerated. More than one in five working Americans still toiled on the

land in the 1920s. Forty-four percent of the population was still counted

as rural in 1930. Well over half the states of the Union remained pre-

ponderantly rural in population, economy, political representation, and

ways of life.

In many respects, those country ways of life remained untouched by

modernity. The fitty million Americans who dwelt in what F. Scott Fitz-

gerald called “that vast obscurity beyond the city” still moved between

birth and death to the ancient rhythms of sun and season. More than

forty-five million of them had no indoor plumbing in 1930, and almost

none had electricity. p. 16 Kennedy

https://www.fulcrum.org/epubs/kk91fp06v?locale=en#page=36

After the armistice of November 1918, however, world agricultural

production returned to its familiar prewar patterns. American farmers

found themselves with huge surpluses on their hands. Prices plum-

meted. Cotton slumped from a wartime high of thirty-five cents per

pound to sixteen cents in 1920. Corn sank from $1.50 per bushel to

fifty-two cents. Wool slid from nearly sixty cents per pound to less than

twenty cents. Although prices improved somewhat after 1921, they did

not fully recover until war resumed in 1939. Farmers suffocated under

their own mountainous surpluses and under the weight of the debts

they had assumed to expand and to mechanize. Foreclosures increased,

and more and more freeholders became tenants. ‘The depopulation of

the countryside proceeded ever more rapidly.

Corfield v. Coryell

First. That the act of the legislature of New Jersey of the 9th of June 1820, under which this vessel, found engaged in taking oysters in Maurice river cove by means of dredges, was seized, condemned, and sold, is repugnant to the constitution of the United States in the following particulars: 1. To the eighth section of the first article, which grants to congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes. 2. To the second section of the fourth article, which declares, that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states. 3. To the second section of the third article, which declares, that the judicial power of the United States should extend to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction.

And at my post, I have sat every night."

And he answered and said,

Courage in Eudemian Ethics

 Although, therefore, it is fine even to attain a knowledge of the various fine things, [20] all the same nevertheless in the case of goodness it is not the knowledge of its essential nature that is most valuable but the ascertainment of the sources that produce it. For our aim is not to know what courage is but to be courageous, not to know what justice is but to be just, in the same way as we want to be healthy rather than to ascertain what health is, and to be in good condition of body rather than to ascertain what good bodily condition is.

Propolis

 If a small animal—like a mouse or any other creature—accidentally enters a beehive, drawn by the sweet scent of honey, the bees react with extreme aggression. They do not stop attacking until the intruder is killed, stinging it repeatedly.

However, once the animal is dead, a new problem arises: the body may be too large for the bees to carry out of the hive.
This is when the bees display their remarkable instinct and intelligence in the face of danger. Rather than allowing the body to decay—spreading bacteria and foul odors—they engage in a fascinating natural process: embalming the intruder using a substance called propolis.
Propolis is a resin-like material that bees collect from tree sap and other botanical sources. It has powerful properties:
Antibacterial and antifungal
Moisture-resistant
Odor-blocking and accelerates tissue dehydration
The bees coat the dead animal in layers of propolis and wax, effectively sealing it off from the rest of the hive. Over time, the body dries out and becomes nothing more than a preserved skeleton, causing no harm to the internal environment of the hive.
Through this act, bees demonstrate a natural form of sanitation engineering—using biology and instinct to maintain a clean, disease-free home.

When two men are together, one of them may see some opportunity [kerdos] which the other has not caught sight of; if a man is alone he is less full of resource, and his wit [noos] is weaker."

Gardening advice

 You guys, it’s taken me six years of failed gardening to achieve this

🤩 Wherever you are, don’t give up! Here is my fertilizing process:
- Top the beds once in early spring and once again in early fall with good compost mixed with blood meal and bone meal
- Plant each start with a scant handful of worm castings
- Water with diluted fish emulsion every three weeks
- Side dress established pepper plants with a fertilizer called “Big A$$ Peppers” 😂 It’s a 4-6-4 NPK, as they need lots of P to make those blossoms nice and big
- Other tips include sprinkling flower and herb seeds all around the edges of your beds or plot in February, even if it’s not warm enough for them, it’s good to get the seeds in the ground! And of course, buck the rules of spacing - fill up your beds! You’ll never need mulch and your garden will look lush 🌷
Thanks to all for such good advice over the years!
