E. Sehil letter, extvn sinn horticulturist, who says that undoubtedly many have the impression that unless they sell vegetables it is useless to compete, hut thut classes one and four give little credit fo: cash sales. "The gardener who makes the best use of his plot, regardless of aUe will be given first consideration," says Mr. Kchilletter. "Past experience has shown that those who sell little or nothing may compete against each other and those who sell large amount^ may also have u class in which more credit will be given for cash sales, we have arranged the classes as follows: Class 1, for those who sell nothing up to $100 worth.

Boy Clubsters ] Earn And Learn (jettison College, Feb. 14 - The f>,266 lirmonstcations conducted by > 4,h4ti member a' of boys' 4-H ugricul* tural clubs in South Carolina in 1020 > constituted a most important phase ' of earning and learning in progress- ^ ive agriculture under the direction ' of the Extension Service. A total of ' 2,6f>l records turned in by club mem- J hers to the office of B. O, Williams, state boys' club agent, showed a total J value of $186,781.01), of which $01,M)8.<)4 waa profit. This profit of practically .r>0 per cent is in itseW an excellent accomplishment, hut more important still i* the training of head, hand, heart, j and health constituting the 4-H pur' pose of club work, and thus enabling ! the boys besides making some money j to learn modern methods of agriculj lure, cooperation through organized 1 group activities, and incidentally to lake part in various forms of delight \ ful recreation. With the season for organizing 4-H i lul>s for lOiiO at hand, In Williams and his assistant, Dan I^ewis, expect " thousands of other farm boys to join the procession within the next 60 days.

IP; Marion, Feb. HO; Oconee, feb. 2 ft; and Greenville, Feb. 20, leinonKtiatioiib having already been j icld in MoCormiek, Greenwood, Kdgefield and Cherokee. Thousands of tuna of top noil, the moat valuu'ble part of a man's laud because it contains the plant food, me washed away each year through lack of proper protection, says Mr. McAlister, who believes that the familiar puint advertisement slogan. "Save the surface and you save all," might well be applied to the surface of the soil over a large part of South Carolina. Much terracing work that has been done consists of poorly located ami poorly constructed terraces, which^are not only ineffective, but sometimes actually do more harm that good by acting as gutters to collect the water and form gulleys. The terracing demonstrations being conducted will result, Mr, McAlister hopes, in well-placed object lessons, which farmers may observe and gather ideas regarding proper methods of laying off and constructing terraces.

Storehouse of History ORGANIZED lOO years ago in Petersburg, Virginia, a city rich in historic interest and destined to play a deciding part in events of future years, the Petersburg Railroad was the worthy pioneer of that notable group of railroads, serving the famed coastal plains of the Southeast, that were brought together to form the Atlantic Coast Lind Railroad Company. No part of America has more of historic interest than the sections served by the Coast Line. Here is a land that " fairly recks with history". Gentlemen of France, Grandees of Spain; Lords and adventurers of Merrie England; pirates and buccaneers; Indian fighters,baronial planters, noted statesmen; the persistent, will-o'-the-wisp forces of Sumter and Marion; the ragged, hungry, undaunted Armies of the Confederacy. All these I have lived and loved and fought and died and left their imprint here. In this section the first English colonies in l America were started; France and Spain made futile bids for this great empire. Here are cities and towns that date back to the dawn of our country's history. Many have known the hardships of occupation by hostile ! * armies. Hardly a cross-roads hamlet but has witnessed stirring and important events, or has sent its sons to play leading parts in the affairs of their times. Here the tyranny of George the Third first met with outspoken and organized resistance. Here scores of bloody battles have been fought. These shores have been pillaged by Blackbeard and Gasparilla and other pirates of their day. Into these ports swift blockade runners came, daring the fire of Union fleets* to bring food and munitions to Lee's tattered forces. Richmond, Norfolk, Petersburg, Newbern, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Augusta, Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick, Montgomery, St. Augustine, Tampa, Bradenton. Each name brings up pictures of tHe stirring events that all of these have seen. And there are scores of other places where much history has been made. Not the least important event of an eventful century has been the welding of more than 100 v. railroads into the Atlantic Coast Line System, serving the six southeastern states and making a reality of that "Great Highway of the Union" which the founders of the Petersburg Railroad envisaged one hundred years ago. , ATLANTIC COAST LINE The Standard Railroad of the South Y {This is the second of a series of advertisements by the ^-Atlantic Coast JCine Railroad, commemorating the |pi||l |f centennial of its earlieSt constituent company ? the 'Petersburg Railroad Company} ,1t| ? r . .. - l_LllllllUim_LUl- II __ .11 _ II.
