It I w eighties this indus-! ft i hundred thousand I (j, id it is estimated -is j jve thousand dollars P Iff The grape industry wasn't the only J industry ruined by prohibition. |tj I There was the mint industry. Pro-1 yt Ihibition killed the mint julep, hence I there was no more demand for mint {r f except in a few homes where they made mint sauce for spring lamb dressing. p Then there was the blow to the egg industry. Men no longer use eggs for (ggnog, since the eggnog departed. "When prohibition caipe the hens had ^ loen doing their best in their free way to keep the egg industry alive and you n could get eggs for eight cents a dozen. P Since prohibition hit the egg industry ? vou have to pay two cents apiece for p pggs. Prohibition took the life out of s< the hens. They do not seem to have ^ |H anything to cackle about since the sa- p H loon left us. ii - A man over in the eastern part of ^ the state used to make roulette wheels y, He was a fine cabinet maker and the wheels he turned out for roulette and ? JjBp other games of chance were mounted e H with ivory and mother of pearl. Pro- P liibition killed that industry also. j ^ H In fact prohibition has killed about e< IgB every industry in Kansas except the HBB * c H raising of wheat and corn and alfalfaJ ^ <.n/i fniit nnd livestock: potatoes and t o I* peas and cabbages and "garden sass"; ! a B j i si -chickens and ducks and geese, and 6 torses and mules. o S It busted up many of our most prom-j ? w Inent gamblers, paralyzed the beer y W gardens and absolutely killed the bar- j fi tenders' union. I I Prohibition has left very little of , tj | Kansas except the growing crops in ti "her fields, the stock in her stock pens, ? ti the dreary round of work, work, work, p I in her factories and stores and other N industries. It has left us little to do in J ? "hours of leisure except just to fall in e love, to get married, send our chil- b <3ren to school, go abroad occasionally, w w join the church when we feel like it, a tun into each other with expensive k tiutomobiles and store our money 11 ttway in dusty bank vaults, instead of ^ giving it to cheerful gentlemen with ii white aprons who used to stand in b front of cut glass bars and say infre- Vi' mientlv. "This one is on the house." ci S Where once the thriving business of | J* a the saloon sent the clamorous odor of ^ ? its prosperity out upon the sidewalk | I tind clear across the street, we find j | nothing but shoe stores, clothing i I -stores, dry goods stores, meat markets | grocery stores, and other sordid ac- li i m f tivities of an unhappy people. y Where once you saw long lines of t\ men on Saturday night going joyfully Vl o: irto rooms, where the doors always g swung in, never out, where there was j tl ^ fcawdust on the floor and a merry & "W '' < rowd standing around the mahogany | "bar, where they were treating all a- c< round and a man could get his salary ? theck cashed and spend it right there w on his boon companions, and then go tl enthusiastically home and break up the furniture and give his wife a black n e-ye; instead of all those manifesta- S tions of a carefree people which characterized the saloon day we now havo p nothing but gloom.

More initiative, push and apital and commercial courage will lace us in the forefront. I have ever seen, in traveling over a good ortion of Virginia, as extensive prearations for all spring crops, corn, otatoes, oats, etc. People are lowing land that has lain idle ever j long. They are looking into the ivine industry. One instance:" A or>lr hnH hifhertn issued to its atrons calendars costing something ke a thousand dollars bought this ear pure-bred hogs and distributed iem instead of calendars. This ras a North Carolina bank, I think. Advertising, publicity work at the ight time and in the right place, lust always find its greatest field of xpression in the pages of the public ress. That is the surest means of eaching the largest number of posible patrons with the most conomic expenditure of time, majrial and money. In certain speial lines, however, has developed in ecent years an inclination to apply ne of the fundamental truths in dvertising, keeping oneself con-' tantly before the public eye, by esorting to the gift of calendars and ther objects in daily use. Whether r not there has ever been a test of lie value of such mediums ol aaertising in comparison with results rom the standing advertisement in le proper sort of newspapers, we 0 not know. But we are quite sure lat when a bank resorts to a circula,on among its patrons of pure-bred ogs instead of calendars, as menloned above, by G. E. Cassels, East ladford, Va., publicity agent of the Torfolk & Western Railway, it is ound to reap at least double relrns. If the calendars are really ffective, they are so because they ring to mind the name of the bank rhenever anybody has business to do 'ith a bank. The gift by a bank of pure-bred hog to a patron not only eeps the bank's name permanently 1 the mind of the patron, but suplies the means, through the inrease from the hog, for an increase 1 the business of the patron of the ank. If the circulation of purered hogs or similar objects as adertisements by banks should beame epidemic in the South, the anks would share the prosperity aereby induced for their patrons.? [anufacturers' Record. Girl'* Canning Club Work. 1? When the boll weevil was working .'s ravages, the founder of the Farler's Co-operative Demonstration fork, our Patron Saint of Agricul ire, Dr. S. A. Knapp, said tnat uiersification of crops and the raising f home supplies would aid very reatly in solving the problem. To lis end Boys' Corn Clubs were oranized. As soon as this work was 'ell started, Dr. Knapp set about oing something for the girls. Acsrdingly in 1910 a limited number f Tomato Clubs were organized in outh Carolina and Virginia. This ork has grown to such an extent lat the prospects are that in 1915 lere will be an enrollment of 50,00 girls under the supervision of early 500 women agents in the 15 outhern States alone. The enrollient for 1914 was 33,173. In our Canning Club Work, we lan to do "one thing at a time, and lat done well." The first year is evoted entirely to the study of the iilture of tomatoes, although girls re encouraged to can and preserve ther fruits and vegetables that grow n the farm. . Our club motto is To Make the Best Better," and rhen girls follow closely the direcons given by the agent, their proucts easily surpass any other on le market. On the Girl's Canning Club Emlem are four H's. They stand for Iqual Training of head, hand, heart nd health. During the canning eascn the club members are taught jme valuable life lessons.

Clemson College.?Nearly thirty ! thousand young fruit trees have been placed with South Carolina farmers this season by C. F. Niven, assistant horticulturist in the extension work of Clemson College. Interest in home orchards is running high and the growth in this line of I work is greater than in any previous 1 year. The Clemson demonstration orchards have now been placed in all except six counties. This information is contained in a nroiiminnrv ronort made bv Prof. Niven. He says: "People in the state are taking great interest in their home orchards. The demand for the orchard work has beer heavier this year than ever before. Besides a number of old orchards that have been worked over and put into bearing condition. I have placed J among the farmers about 20,000' peach trees, 7,000 grapes, 1,000 ap-; pies and some plums. Several farmers in the upper part of the otate have also added cherries to their orchards. "Thpse orchards are beine Jevel oped with the idea principally of. supplying fruit for home ccnsump-1 tion. A few farmers, in the Sand Hill region, have planted for local markets and for canning purposs. "At the present time, demonstra-! tion orchards are being worked in . every county in the statfe except six."
