OF INTEI ?NE OF STATE'S SUCCESSFUL NEW INDUSTRIES. Nothing has proved more conclu sively the resourcefulness of the women of South Carolina than theii unprecedented initiative in the busi ness world during the strenuous years ?f 1921 and 1922. They have not nly pursued the various old lines of work with energy and determination, felt are constantly developing suc cessfully new fields of endeavor. They are in the promotion of the flower industry of the State, appeal ing to the aesthetic side of our na tture while going about the prosaic Easiness of helping to make a living. The ladies of Pauline Home Dem onstration club call themselves "The Dahlia Club." During the past year Shis club sold approximately $550.00 north of flowers. Most of these were aold through the Home Demonstra tion club market in Spartanburg, This market is known as the "Square .Deal Market," This total sum includ ed the money from the sales of not ?aly the blossoms, but cuts, roots, tc. Quoting from a recent letter from Mrs. Ada Lancaster, one of the ?ight women who compose this club, *he says "Dahlias were the most pop alar flower, then chrysanthemums, followed by daffodils this spring. We would never have sold this amount without our club market. You see it fcv amounted to a nice little sum for aach of us, the largest sale being $140 and the smallest $10." Mrs. J. P. Harris of Lancaster County is known as the "flower lady" which attractive title has been ac quired through her identification the vearious flowers with which afe is always surrounded. In a recent letter to the State Marketing Agent, 3&b describes in an enthusiastic man aer, her method of cultivation of inreet peas. As she cleared 5300 on wen rows, fifty feet long, I am in clined to believe that her method of cultivation is the proper one. Her -totai receipts for flowers during 1921 amounted to $750. Mrs. Harris has i$te hearty cooperation of her hus aand in this enterprise. She writes Sitae he wants to experiment with .sireet peas planted in the cotton ield5. He proposes to let them climb 'cfte stalk and then have them turn inder as legume. Mrs. Lila Moore Stanton of McColl "* i. _ ii- . n l ; B&s.gone into me iiurist uusiuess un a rather iarge scale and is "making food" in the expressive slang of the da.?. She conducts this business with out the help of skilled gardeners, only die- neighborhood ladies with an oc stsioncd man as a helper. During the rear 1921 she took in something over *6.1 00.00. All expenses including the interest on the original investment >f $10,000 ax-e to be deducted. She se vft-j flmmtinii* fnr nnr stat.p to save a Horticultural Society in order that there may be more interest in flowers as a cultivated study. She ias organized five clubs, four of which are in Marlboro County and una in Dillon. The last named club is working: on the beautification of *he Dillon cemetery. Ttese are merely some specific ex ample? of what has been accomplish ed. They dimly forecast the ever widening influence of home demon stration work in the years to come. Mrs. Alma C.

Cabbage, collards, Kohl-raibi, and tomatoes. Prepare a good seed bed as in spring. More attention must be given to these seed beds to insure a plentiful supply of mois ture during dry season. Then, too, the hot sun at this time of year evaporates the soil moisture more rapidly than in spring. Q. When should these plants be transplanted? A. Cabbacre and collards last of August or first of September, to matoes any time during August. Q. What are the best varieties to plant at this time of year? A. Caibbage, Succession; collards, Georgia; tomato, Stone; Kohl-rabi, Early White Vienna. Q. How often should okra be harvested? A. No pods should be allowed to ripen seed until fall, as this tends to check production. The pods should be harvested irrespective of size while they are still soft and be fore seeds are half grown. If gath ered in this manner the plant wan continue to bear until frost. Q. What succession crops can be planted this month? \ A. Swe>et corn, Stowell's Ever green; and all kinds of bush beans. Q. What can 'be planted in the corn field at this time for winter use? A. Pumpkins, best varieties are King of tlfe Mamoth, a very large round variety, and the Cashaw or CrooV^ck variety. Pumpkins are a fine vegetable and are equally good for stock. Q. What can be planted in va cant places left by early vege_ tables? A. Cowpeas for fall use. Cowpeas also add nitrogen to the soil when the roots are left in the soil. Q. What general work should be carried onin the garden this month? A. Continued cultivation of the mid-summer and fall vegetables. Provide water if the season is very j dry. Keep down all "weeds, for' large amounts of water are evapor. ated through the leaves of weeds, and if no weeds are allowed to' I ripen this year there will be less to J : fight next year. It is well to keep j I the fence row around the garden J ! free from weeds, if only for the i : better appearance of the garden, j ; Keep watch .on insects and diseases ! and commence spraying as soon as discovered. Q. What should be done with ! cold frames and hot bed sash? A. They should be cleaned and stacked under covering until used in early winter. Mrs. Alma C.
