Celebrating Newspaper Editor and Nature-lover W. Earl Hall
"It's the best time of the year for gardeners:
the season is before us, and the garden offers limitless possibilities."
April 7, 1897
Today is the birthday of W. Earl Hall, the Editor and publisher of the Mason City Globe-Gazette.
He's remembered for loving weather-lore.
Earl wrote,
“Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.
I hope you have some sunny days this spring.
It’s the best time of the year for gardeners: the season is before us, and the garden offers limitless possibilities.
