“God expects to stand without fear for what I think, to speak against what I think is a mistake, but there is no need to worry, whether in small personal matters or in global affairs, for fear,” Ruth wrote once. Boner adheres to a dung rule to live. In the movie “The Hand in the Glove”, Bonner replaces the killing of PL Storrs, the perpetrator in a rural garden: “I knew that storrs was especially proud of the botanical garden, and moved aside and passed a gap in a YEW Endege to give it, but only saw tomatoes, beans, beans, slow beans and late dirt For fat. Think, “Recently, live and grow, and now not good for anything until it wanders.” “The key to ambiguity comes when you find gloves wearing a murderer, hidden inside the” soft large watermelon “.
In 1938, the year “The Hand in the Glove” was published, Whittaker Chambers, a Communist who knew Ruth Stout while he was working in Daily (Which she contributed, and in which her political protests were stolen), some important papers were stolen from the federal government. In 1948, when Chambers witnessed a non -American activities committee in the House of Representatives, he revealed the presence of papers; It was later turned out to have hidden them inside a squash on his farm, in Maryland (a hiding method that is not different from hiding gloves in watermelon). Actor Richard Nixon, an anti -Crusader communism, gave a famous speech on the so -called pumpkin leaves, and the papers appeared prominently in the Alger Hiss trial. These events were distinguished by the beginning of an era McCarthy.
Ruth Stout, who noticed the former communism, noted the Makarthy Committee. Perhaps this was because of the influence of her brother, and now not only a famous writer but also a famous patriot. During World War II, Rex, as a “lying investigator”, led the War Council for the Book and presented a series of radio titles, and exposed German and Soviet propaganda. (“Like Nero Wolfe, Stout is a fallacy detector,” New Yorker He wrote. The FBI file extends to hundreds of pages, and documents everything from its closest political activities to his death. C. Edgar Hoover He hated it, especially after Rex published Nero Wolfe in 1965, in essence, an accusation list extended to FBI Ruth’s light notifications in the FBI files only in the years 1927-1938. After that, the office appears to have lost interest in it. She is no longer red, in her fifties, she was invented as a preferred green thumb in America.
“Organic Gardening”, with this name, came to the United States during World War II, along with the Al -Nasr Garden movement. In 1942, Ji Rodale, founder of the Handy Foundation, began publishing a so -called magazine Agriculture and organic gardening. Rodal supported, for example, piles of compost. “The organic method in the United States may be likened to the war,” Rodal said in 1949. Rodal said in 1949. She encouraged gardening without filling, although she was asked whether she had invented the deep mulch, she said: “Of course, I do not think that; God has invented it simply by making a decision to drop the leaves from the trees once a year.”
But it is likely that Stote will learn what he called gardening without work from reading it or while working on socialist farms or during its trips in Russia, in the twenties. (The Soviet Union has entered itself, so far from the adoption of the OVSINSKYI system, the aggressive use of the mechanical plow that, along with forced assembly, has contributed to the widespread famine). By the 1940s, berries were growing almost all that she ate and Russian, and nourishing their independent tools as well. I did all this by doing a very little work. Edit the worker! She had no benefit to fertilizer piles in Rodal: “I am against them. It is very unnecessary. Why did everything be crowded somewhere and then transferred it to where you need it?” Straw, old mail, newspapers, ash, food waste, whatever: I threw everything in its garden, which looked correct chaos. Despite the appearances, its way resulted in great results. One of the fifty-one lighters of blue blue-which extended to dehydration for four months. About her only expense was paying a farmer next to the straw that grown in Marj.
In 1953, his wife and wife published a book entitled “Living The Good Life: How To Live Synely and Simply in a troubled world”, describing their methods at home. A year later, Strot, and seventy, published her first book, “How to have a green thumb without a painful return: a new way for the diverse gardens.” It exploded that year, and also published an article in a magazine entitled “Thirt Away for Things Fish and atmosphere.
The following year, I published an article in Popular garden “Let’s plant the iris,” is a fairly backward profile for her brother. At High Meadow, Rex Stout has grown one hundred and eighty -six species of the iris on three acres. “At the height of the season, a crushing color forest,” she wrote. “It extends along the way from the long and cold elegance of Mrs. Mohr to the burning Bragadocio. Fall. She mentioned that her brother kept a record in his iris, a loose papers notebook with a page for each variety. I tell her,“ Every year, with the start of buds in Fatah, I start entering entries. VW for “Al -Hakam: Wonderful. I knew that it had grown better vegetables.
Here is the Ruth Strot method. Start with a piece of grass. Do not even care about delivering the grass. Cover the grass with eight inches of straw or straw. Do not skimp, perfectly, do not pay for it: you can get a spoiled straw from local farms, or you can bother it. Then, throughout the year, throw everything organic over it. Food waste, cardboard, newspapers, grass scraps, dead leaves, sticks, trunks. anything. All that. always. When the time comes to cultivate, pushing the straw aside, throwing some seeds on the soil under it, and covering them again. You will need to nullify your plants and choose your vegetables when ready. But that’s all. Your garden will be very ugly. You may hear from your neighbors. (Stote neighbors did not mind that her garden was not fun to look at, but she preferred to put a bare garden completely, so they kept their distance, anyway.)
Ruth Stout method is not really Roth Stot. It is only, in the 1950s, it was necessary to call it something other than the Russian. In the McCarthy era, no one wanted in the garden like communism.
During a second movement back, in the 1960s and early 1970s, Ruth Stout books gained worship. She has become the grandmother and a metaphorical grandfather of a generation of hippies and societies. In 1964, Stot appeared as a contestant in the TV competition program “I got a secret.” Her secret was that she had shattered a salon with Carrie Nation in 1901. Except for that, her secret was not really. Her secret was that she was socialist, communist and radical radicalism. (For the sake of approaching, the political part of his life was never a secret; in 1981, at the age of seventy -eight, he appeared himself in the movie “Reds”.
In the 1970s, it became a source of inspiration for the repetition of women. In 1972, Ms. The magazine wanted to touch it. She once said: “You have endured me to show women.” No profile appeared.
With their age, Ruth Wrix Stout found it difficult to travel to see each other, to make it over dozens of miles separating the hollow poverty from the high meadow. It is still the exchange of seeds.
Ruth wrote in 1972, when she was eight -eight years old, he was eight -year -old, and she was eighty -six. But there was an exception: “Nero and Archie never endured me.” Basically, she was writing to talk about gardens, and expected, “This beautiful fertilizer promised you here.” In the end, he always returned to shit. But she remained, as she was always, Freithink. When she was almost ninety, I sent a postcard to the CBS that read, “I plan to kill President Nixon. I am ready to spend the rest of my life in prison to do so. My question is: After I kill Nixon and go to prison, who will take care of AgNeW?” The FBI has sent two agents to her home; Soon they realized that “a woman approximately ninety years old had no immediate plans to kill the president.”
