SELLING THE SURPLUS VEGETABLES ? . v I have been growing and marketing j vegetables, etc., in small quantities. for a cood manv rears and have learn ed a few things that have proved valuable to me and may be useful to some other farm woman. In the first place, I find that it pays to have special customers- I often sell onions for $i a bushel when the merchants pay only 60 cents. The telephone is a great -help in this. I 'phone to probable customers that I have certain i things, state my price, and arrange de- } tails of deliver}*. When I go or send to ' ! town I know exactly what to take It is far pleasanter than peddling things j about and more dignified. It is so much | more comfortable to feel that we are | conferring the favor, as we are when we i I . sell fine vegetables. I make a very special point of having everything I sell the very best cless. I have quite a large asparagus bed and sell a good deal evry spring, but only the finest stalks. We use lots. But I don't sell anything else. The smaller stalks I use in soup, omelets, etc. So with potatoes and onions, I find many ; KK IN <?> IKE AND HOME ECONOMICS >> ? <s> E DEPARTMENT <$> ED BY <r> * T\ c* r* A*. igcnr rrosperuy, :>. ^ oinics Prosperity, S. C. uses for the small ones that nothing be lost. But. 1 want evry sale I make to be a quality advertisement. I always try to make things attractive. 1 like to put a cluster of narcissus or violets in with my asparagus, or onions, or spinach, or a bunch of parsley. sometimes, or sprigs of mint with a leg of lamb. I have even made a quarter of beef beautiful with a string c f re 1 peppers. What we need most in the South, 1 think, is a keener sense of honor in trade. 1 am Southern through and through, but it is not to be denied that some of us think that "trade"' is not very honorable, anyhow, and that it doesn't much matter if we do get the best of the transaction. This, it see?ns to me. is a mistake. .Instead of "doing others before they do us" let us adopt the motto, "The best produce in the best condition. to tno best customers." We shall find it pleasanter and more profitable.-Mrs. J- T. Camp, in The Progressive Farmer. BABY WEEK TO BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY Many communities in South Carolina will observe baby week. Plans fcr conducting it are furnished by the children's bureau, United States department of labor, and this bureau has asked the cooperation of the State Federation of Women's clubs, particularly the health department of the federation, and the extension department of Winthrop college. All are actively engaged in furthering this campaign, feeling that "baby health is South Carolina's wealth"?to transpose the Texas slogan. "The inquiries coming in prove the interest which this week of health ob servance is arousing," writes Miss Mary E. Frayser, head of Winthrop's extension work in home economics. "It can not fail to create an interst in child welfare and disseminate knowledge concerning the child.' The following bulletin is issued by the children's bureau at Washington: -jru t to*? rnmmnnitipc rrmoH X WW v CU V. *>/?*-/ x, w-^-~ fiirg some preparation for baby week, according to the inquiries received by the children's bureau of the United States department of labor. This num ber does not include those of whose interest in the campaign word has come to the bureau indirectly. "The letters about baby week are still coming in from every State in the union and from every type community, such as a Colorado settlement 40 miles from a railroad, a club of women on one of the government reclamation projects, a Montana coal mining town with a large foreign population, a Southern mill village, and a club of farm women in a Middle Western State. "Texas -has its own baby week slogan ?'Baby health is Texas wealth'?and Mississippi has started a competition to secure a slogan for that State. North Dakota reports plans for a Statewide essay contest in the public schools. I" a few State campaigns the State Federa* tion of Women's clubs, the State university extension department, the State health officials and those who are especialy intersted in education are all cooperating in the baby week campaign. "Many large cities are going to have a baby week. Definite plans are under way in Albany, Baltimore. Boston. Milwaukee, Clevland. Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Richmond, San Francisco, Washington and other cities. New York had a successful baby week in 1914 and will probably hold another this year in the late spring. "In its suggestions for baby week observance the children's bureau lays special emphasis on the opportunity it affords for extending permanent work for infant welfare, such as infant welfare stations, visiting nursing, special nursing and instructions for prospective mothers, city inspection of milk, special ... ?i- r - - - i i' i * worK. ior prevention or uiinaness ana little mothers' classes and home nursing instruction for school girls in the upper grades.*' For Sale?303 acrcs of land near Whitmire, known as Alfred Denson estate.
