Vegetables sold from my garden from January 1 to October 1 amounted 10 |l,14H.f>0," were the words printed on a sign overhanging the beautiful individual fuim exhibit of Mrs. I). K.

A correspondent interviewed Miss Annie (Iriffin, a daugiiter of Mrs. <11:ff in, at the fair Friday and learned that during this unusually dry year st.> ahd hei mother and father and t a others in the family, by hard v. h. had rniuJt the following the p.?st year beside- the garden produ ; which sold for $l,14H.f)0: Five ha!-.- of cotton, barrels of flour, l?>o 1 hi - hi !> of sweet potatoes, over luo gallon- of sugar cane syrup, 21 h. >g? averaging about )2f> pounds, p.e ty of coin, with still some from ia> \eai in the crib, over 100 bushel-. ..f {leu*, threshed out 10 bushel.-, of oats and had lots left in the sheaf, i.ii-t 1 lotu of peavine hay and had ph nt> of feedstulfs to take care of the hogs, two mules and a cow.

There is no danger of this happy .family being otherwise than contented and that there will be plenty of everything to cat is clearly shown by the unusually large and attractive display of canned goods, vegetables, mi at and other products. (Iriffin stated that the majority of sales were made through tho Newberry community market and were grown from the garden. They consisted of over $20() worth of lettuce, ovct SHOO worth of cabbage, salads, spinach, railishi - and beans, with a few other vegetables.

NViitten for The Chronicle Copyright, 1926 On the North 8es If you happen to have near at hand u map of England place your finger on Parkaton t^uay, and come with me on a journey ucros* the North Sea, said to be the roughest and most dangerous body of water in the world. Numerous memorial ?hutch windows and headstones in Harwich cemeteries on which arc giavcn the names of missing seamen bear mute but eloquent testimony to this treacherous sea in which legions! of men have found watery graves. 1 he east coast of England was settled by sturdy Norsemen of the Eric and Red type, and in the blood of their descendants still runs strong a luvol of the sea and the spirit of ad&fifev"' W ith them the mechanical wonders of man may have robbed the sea of much of its terrible und mysteriou' power, but the day of romance and adventure on its waves is not yet pasf. It was near the midnight hour when my train drew up at the dock alongside the trim steel boat on which 1 was to make the journey across the Noith Sea to E?bjerg, pronounced "Eb.sjerg,") Denmark. A motley collection of passengers pushed ami shoved through the customs house door, dividing themselves by instinct into native groups and each group was speaking a different language. The passenger list was made up of Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, long bearded Russians dressed in blue blouses wearing red caps, bound for Riga by way of Denmark and the Baltic Sea, swarthy-skinned Armenians and dark-complexioned Poles, with here and there a Nordic or an American who stood out like a white spot against a background of brown. In ll'.ss than half an hour after the arrival of the train the .passengers had been assigned to their quartern, I signals were shot back from bridge to engine loom, winches began to rattle coiling hawsers hke giant blacksnakcr, and the little boat was sliding into the stream. Crossing the Sailor's Graveyard She was a stout, sea-going .little ship, but so small thut her gross tonnage would not equal the weight of the machinery that operated the anchor and rudder chains of the ship on which I crossed the Atlantic. When I went to my stateroom that nightshe was pitching and rolling like a cork in a mill-race. Shortly after, the breakfast hour next morning the blanket of mist that hung over the sea lifted and sunbeams began to filter through patches of pear-shaped cloud. 1 was looking for trouble, but hesitated to ask how the barometer stood. I wo days before a violent hurricane had driven to cover a gang of workmen who were salvaging the.* old German warship, Hindonburg, which had lain at the bottom of the sea since the battle of Jutland. We were passing near the spot wheiS the famous battle was fought. Occasionally, as the ship veered to the right or left, a wave would break over her bow, but she was riding the long s wee Is as gracefully as a sea gull. Over at the right, 150 miles distant, were the harbor, entrances to Hamburg and Bremen, two of the largest .ports in the world, and the horizon was lined with black smoke "from the funnels of creeping tramp steamers. It was Sunday but there were no services aboard. Groups of women on the hurricane deck were knitting and gossiping. Men were grouped around the tables in the lounge, drinking ale, beer or whiskies and talking in a dozen different languages. Seamen stretched out lazily on covered hatchways while the lookout on the bridge paced back and forth with the monotony of a caged lion. And the little >hip ploughed its way silently through the white-capped waves. At sundown next evening a tiny light flickered far away to the north. It was the lighthouse at the channel mouth to Esbjerg harbor, our port of destination. - I know you are disappointed?and so am I. but agreeably so. VVe had I crossed the dangerous North Sea without so much as n thrill. A seaman told me that it was one of the smoothest journeys of the summer reason. On ;he? previous trip the little ship's decks were awash all"f*e way over By nine o'clock that, ni^ht .he ship had docked, passengers ware >cuivying down the gangway and in a few minutes the customs house was a seething mass of humanity, pushing and showing through rooms and conidoi* in a desperate effort II.I I II r?ach the long counter where officials were ripping open trunks ana bags and piling lingerie upon every available space on the big room floor. The City That Hutter and Kgga Built Ksbjer^is one.of the newest cities of tj>e old world. It is one of Denmark's largest seaports. Only 8f> years old, it boasts a population of 3P.000 and DO per cent of its population is engaged in shipping and fishing. Its water-front is fringed wltn a motley collection of fishing craft and so hazardous is this calling on the treacherous waters of the North S'ea that idatives still observe the custom of collecting on the shore when a fishing fleet goes down to the sea on an extended cruise. Hut through this little port passes a large volume of the hutter, eggs and "bacon Denmark shij>? to the western world markets. Danish butter even finds its way to the fashionable restaurants and eating places in New York where it commands a fancy price. The J lane's system of co-operative marketing is jio perfect that he is able to pay the high American tariff and undersell by two cents a pound the best American butter on American markets. He finds a market for his bocon in England and France where he undersells the New Xealander and Australian by a substantial margin. Hut I will tell you more about the Dune's system of producing and marketing in a" later article. From here 1 ant going to the country where I will live among the farmers and small town people and follow the butter, for which Denmark is fumous, from the cow to the consumer. Admitting Visitors FVee Denmark is glad for the outside world to come and see what it is doing for agriculture, and visitors from America are received with open arms. It is one of the few European nations that admits visitors free. Viseas are required but the usual fee of $10 is not charged. I found the customs officials very polite and attentive. Americans in Denmark are almost as scarce a> democrats in a republican cabinet and I fancy the Dane is making a bid for American tourists. So far as I have been able to observe on short acquaintance the Dane is very much like the American. The city of Esbjerg is more American tharT European in physical appearance. Advertisements of many American made goods, including popular priced automobiles, plaster the public places a? every turn. The store windows at" typically American. The men are so polite they bow like Chesterfields and pull their hats to each other across the street. The first discordant note I have heaid was at a flour mill. Gloom was spread all over the proprietor's features. The trouble was (heap American wheat. The American manufacturer was shipping flour across the Atlantic and underselling the Dane in his own countiy." He was crying for a protective tariff and his government would not give it.to him. Sixty-five per cent of the members of the Danish Rigsdag or congress are farmers. The Jewish population^of the world j is estimated at IK,080,000. The United! States, with 4,400,000 leads all other ; countries, and New York City, with i 2,000,000 Jews, is the largest Jewish i city in the world. : | NOTICE TO SKATERS Notice is hereby given that the J practice of allowing roller skating on ' the streets of Camden is prohibited in 1 the future.
