Music Makes Your Vegetables Grow?

"W.H. "Dad" Fletcher of Brant will appear at an Old Timers' Fiddler Contest in Capitol Theatre in Calgary on Friday evening. Mr. Fletcher is 75 years of age. He has never studied a note of music in his life and has learned to play entirely by ear. The Calgary Herald, Speaking of him says: "At present he is taking a rest by farming at Brant, Alberta where he is more than a success. In addition to his grain farming, Mr. Fletcher makes a specialty of vegetable raising and is rumored that he grows his big cabbages by playing the fiddle to them."
