Tumbledown Farm .9 Acres (give or take an acre or two)

Dear Mr. President, While you are considering ways to create jobs by stimulating small business (both the creation of new businesses and new hiring by existing small businesses), please do not forget the sector of the economy that will produce the biggest bang in hiring (or working and producing, which isn't necessarily the same thing) for the smallest buck. I think you could more or less wipe out unemployment with a small investment in small farms.

EXCERPT: "MANURE is the most important factor in French gardening. The most suitable material is that from stables where the horses are bedded with straw. This, known as "long manure," should be brought into the garden in very fresh condition. There should be no peat, sawdust, shavings, or rubbish mixed with it."
