What Newberry County Wu?uu Did
on Farui Thu Year.
N ewberry, Nov. 21-?" Vegetables

were the words printed on a sign overhanging
the beautiful individual
fuim exhibit of Mrs. I). K. (iriffin,
winner of the first prize, this week at
tin- Newberry county fair, which opi

about In u miles below Newberry on

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

..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.
All the above was grown on d0
acres of land Wuh two mules and five
people to woik, with not more than
$2of hired labor. Two of the chil<in
n were in attendance at school a
part of the time.
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.

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.
