(News aisd Courier Special.) Florence April 1.-J. N. I'arrott, a successful funner of Elim, in tho lower part of tho county, gives quito an Interesting account of "How he makes a garden that pays, ' and, in asmuch as lt 1s BO interesting, the story is here retold. Mr. Parrott Is not only a fanner and a gardener, but lie ia also a poet, as will be noted at tho end of the news item: I had. growing in my garden, on St. Valentine's Day, collards, Onions and turnip tops timi make dishes daily Ut for kings. In fact, thoi'e ls not a day In the year that passes without a supply of fresh vegetables for family use. In order to grow such crops, I start by sowing Wake field cabbage and-prize taker onion sued in October, and now have both transplanted and nourishing, even after the recent disastrous freeze. The young plants of -those and beets will stand as much cold and exposure through the winter .as will oats or barley. My peas the Alaska -are up and mowing, ,as are also my beets and kale. l?liss triumph potatoes both white and red- are coining up nicely and will need some covering or straw or leaves during the next cold snap. Strawberries also survive and are blooming and bearing unaffected by the weather. To continue: I plant heans, corn, tomatoes and okra about the lirst of March, and make monthly plantings of corn and beans for a succession, thus securing a full supply for the table for seven months, and a sur plus for canning. In April I plant tollards, with which horses, cows and hogs are freely fed until the first freeze in the fall, when for family use they succeed cabbage and are then superior to the latter as a table dish. They in fact have now become "Palmetto cabbage," though grown I from seed of Georgia collards. , This land has been used as a gar , den sixty years, and with the use of ?stall and poultry manure increases I in fertility with age, the use of com j merdai fertilizers for vegetables luv - i ing been entirely abandoned. As a ! sample of one of the thousands of tho ' gardens of "one-horse fanners" it shows the great advantage of using I home-raised manure and seed, and ; working in accordance with the laws i of nature. 1 use seed of last year's second crop of beans, potatoes, to matoes and sugar corn, which are better than seed of the first crop. In fact. 1 have beans of the third crop to plant next month of the kind advertised by seedmen as "A Thou sand to One," which would amount o more than a million from ono Ivan the same season. What en couragement for all to take advant- I age of and make the most of our op I portunities. Then, indeed, will com. ing gen rat ions rise up to bless tho men with the hoe and behind the plow. This ?arden produces an abund ance for a family of seven, all the year, and ls worth at least $20 to each, making $1 10 from one-quarter ' acre annually. (?reen truck ls In the garden and po tatoes on the way. Peas are also growing and there*3 greens for every day; , We'll have squashes and tomatoes and cabbages when they head, ' And onions by the bushel and beets both white and red. There'll be beans from off the hunches and beans upon the pole; We will have them hot for dinner and at supper eat them cold; And lettuce, young and tender, and also sugar corn, 'io keep us all rejoicing tTiat in Dixie we were horn.

RE IMPROVED. 4? ?*. ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? The rural schools of South Caro lina have been greatly Improved tu . recent years, but there is yet au enormous amount ol' work to be done i before the schools' in the country will compare at all favorably with ! tho town and city ?schools. A large' per cent of the population of our Stute ls rural and agricultural; therefore, ii every boy and girl is to be given an equal chance for an ed ucation it is very important that our people build up a, good system of country schools. Tho efficiency of a country school depends larg, ly upon tho effort put forth in a rural community by its trustees and teachers. !l they show that they ari' interested and will take the leadership in Improving their schools they will not fall to get co operation from patrons. I urge every country teacher and trustee In South Carolina to ask himself the question, What can I do to make my school better? Find out how you can make it hotter and go to wor) with a determination to impro\e con ditions. Success will always attend an earnest effort. During the recent session of the Legislature a bill was passed appro priating $20,000 for the purpose of increasing the average length of the Behool term and to improve the o 111 - cieMcy of Hie publie schools lu this State. The State Superintendent of Education. J. io. Swearingen, will gladly send a copy of this act, to gether with regulations, to any one who will write him for same. Every rural school should run longer than three or four months, so If your's doesn't run at least one hundred days, don't fall to take ad vantage of this law. It provides that any school whose terni ls less than one hundred.days can secure $2 from the state Superintendent of Educa tion for every $1 that the patrons may raise. If any school which pays $::o a month will raise $10, the State will supply $20. and thus lengthen the term by one month. Of course, any greater amount raised by the school will secure a correspondingly greater addition to the school term. The statp Board of Education has recently set aside $2,000 of tho li brary fund to be used by the School Improvement Association for prizes. This amount was offered last year, and ninety-one schools entered the contest. lt is estimated that the $200,ooo worth of material Improve ment resulted from this contest. If your school did not apply last year, don't fail to make an effort to win a prize this year. Regulations regard ing prizes can be secured by writing Miss Theodosia Dargan, President of School Improvement Associ?t ion,Dal zell. S. C. I will be glad to furnish any trus tees or teachers in tho State with any information I cnn that will as sist them Mn improving the condi tions of their schools. Mary T. Nance.
