Atlanta, Ga. ? (Special) ? "Tho; greatest obstacle to permanent farm \ prosperity in the south is the 'store bill* made f~r food and grain that; could and should be grown on every j southern farm," says H. G. Hastings, j president of the Southeastern Fair j Association and of the Georgia Cham- j ber of Commerce, in an interview on agricultural conditions in this terri "A real garden," says Mr. Hastings, "properly prepared and planted, and kept planted throughout the season,1 will help more to decrease store bills j than anything else the farmer can do. j "There are lots of what I term 'one planting* gardens made, gardens with , a few struggling rows of beans, a few. j dozen cabbages and tomato plants,! < with some watermelon off to one cor- j ner, but that's not real gardening any. ^ more than a youngster's first drawing 2 of a cat or a dog on his slate, is fine ^ art. Our southern folks generally f don't take the garden seriously, when 1 aa a matter of fact the right kind of 3 a garden, containing a full line of a vegetables and kept busy all season, is reasonably sure of famishing at < least half the living of the family. \ s "I have never seen a 'one crop* sec- i tion, regardless of what particular one 1 crop was grown, that did not have a 1 poverty-stricken look, with poor school c buildings, churches and homes. ; * "1 have never seen a diversified * section that did not have the signs of * .nMi'fw ptirtlrJncr rtfit all nvor it * I pil/nyUULJ DtlCJVlMf, vuv - w w v. .V. , j "And on practically every farm in c these prosperous diversified sections * the hsme garden has an honored r place. . n "I haven't a thing in the world t j aarainst the supply and general mer- j j chants, but if all of our people would 5 j ta^e the home garden seriously, half \ ; of them would have to go rut of busi- j j ness for lack of trade.

CAMERA MO l>DEIi HAIL OF FIRE In i(on*t?int Peril of Their Life as Th* v Photograph European War. i J The historian who sits in liis com j fotable study chair and compiles the ! story of the present war in Europe ! will have a new competitor?the mo I tion picture man. And no matter hov. I * tV?n m a n j a^iliv ailj QliU U1U *u M-" j of words may write, what he puis i upon paper will seem weak and fu j tile compared with the vivid, auth n ! tic, flesh-blood records of the official | photographers of the Battle of the j Somme. I The dangers through which these I camera nvn have passed, and the i *?ool. nonchalant recklessness with j which they have faced death in a doz i en forms a.t once, will in itself form j one of the most thrilling chapters in the history of the war. The camera man cannot lag behin-I j in safety; he must be in the trenohos when the shells are falling; he must 1 take his camara out in "no manTi land' between th*> lines when a . barge is made. For six days before the advance in ? the Somme battle the camera men j were in the first line of trenches. They j sought out the points of greatest dan ger. To get their pictures their cam- } eras had to be above the level of the parapet, so that, when a shell came over, a picture of the explosion could ? be taken wherever it might land. j ] One man found a <spot somewhat; protected by a pile of sandbags; j < when he returned to it with his cam- j i Jk- ^ J era tne sauuuags gone?io uaeir i place was a nasty piping hole, made | by a German shell. So the photo grapher calmly clambered down into', the hole, and from there was fortu-1 nate enough to secure a wonderful : picture of the explosion of a British , mine in the German trenches. On the first day of the attack, a j . machine gun bullet cut in half one [ leg of the tripod of this photograph-; er's camera. He tied it up with a.; string and went on. He followed the j< line of attack through barbed wire ( entanglements, taking pictures as he j went. He made for a mine crater, i fhinlrirtfr tViot it offnrH o little ' I shelter from the hail , of fire wftich ' snrrc-'.nded him?only to find that the i jGp~rr':ns were there first. Another man was caught by a j fierce barrage fire and could not get: back to his "base for two days. His orderly was 1- t, and three times the , , photographer crawled down through ; the shells to th? front line in an en , ueavor to find him. j The marvelous pictures which these SEVEN. men have taken are are taking form j ] o ? r? t s\ f fii/i r\ (Tt r?i j 1 u O r TCxr-fx i*A<l i\ * a pai i ui l*4Vx uui'.iui ?? exi i the British Governm nt.
