Camden Rotary Club Notes At the regular Thursday meeting of Rotary Presdient Moultrie announced tho annual meeting of Rotary Roy Scout commltteo which waB hold at tho office of Henry Savage, also the club's attention to and cooperation was naked by Prealdent Burns for tho ColUna1 outertainmout, a aerloa of playa and lectures to bo given in Camden and sponsored by tho lucul Kiwauia olub. Hotarians visiting last Thursday woro; Fruuk Farmer, of Columbia; William N. Northrup, of RoIbo, Idaho, father of Mm. John Wall. Tho program was In charge of Roland (io.odalo and his guostmpeaker was the over popular Milton Smith of tho Ktrkwood. Mr. Smith proceeded to tell of hla four yearn of experience in Camden as owner-manager of the Kirkwood Hotel and tho outlook for the coming tourist and resort business. At the outset, Milton warned the club that he came here, with malice aforethought, to propagandise and mainly to give a painted history of the Kirkwood Hotel by reason of the fact that his Interests lAy principally there. He talked of the vogue of the days when the Kirkwood first opened in Camden and of the very large business done In 11>16 and he kindly mentioned in a most complimentary way of tho atmosphere and culture which abounds hero an.d for which Camden and Camden only is noted. t Mr. Smith then told of the travel to Camden by railroad, at which time the guests remained for an Indefinite period, until about 1918 when the automobile came into being and roads became improved and highways paved, then the development of Florida resorts, all of which tended to mako a wide change in tourist travel and consequent short stays of guests in Camden as well as at all other midsouth winter resorts. Mr. Smith said it was his intention to improve both the equipment and staff of this famous hotel to a place of first class, he repeated, he came to propagandize and the meat of hlB seemingly serious talk was, does Camden desire to remain a resort town and offered a suggestion that the Chamber of Commerce or some civic body appoint a committee to make some specific plan for the future looking to a continuance of this very profitable Camden asset. Milton Smith Is always one of the club's most pleasing speakers and popular guests. He never fails to make a hit with the members of the Camden Rotary club. President Moultrie Burns presided nnd the program next week wiy be given by Frank Hultz, president of the Southern Aviation school. Garden Notes The many fine old gardens throughout the country are such not entirely because of the plants selected but more because of the original preparation of the soil and its regular maintenance since. In this preparation and maintenance of gardens deep digging is as important as fertilization, cultivation and moisture. It provides a deep broad root run, porous and moist, which will often compensate the plant for lack of food and water from above. Deep digging not only gives to the roots the chance of hunting food but also furnishes drainage. It protects from too much moisture yet permits storage of moisture at a level from which the roots can draw it in time of drought. In loosening hard compact soils, such as -our familiar red clay, deep digging makes available to the plant many rich food elements. All lumps must be broken up Into small particles so that air and mols- i ture may be admitted. Cinders, sand and rotten compost or woodsearth mixed with pulverized clay prevent Its becomnig compact again. Lime makes clay porous and workable, and makes possible its penetration by air and water which dissolve the plant foods found In clay. Sandy soil, being so porous that , practically all plant foods "leach" out, ; needs the addition of clay or digging deep enough to bring the sub-layer of clay to the surface. Both clay and sand need the addition of humus. This supplies food and at the same time its decaying fibers thicken the sand, this helping it to hold moisture and minerals until the plant can absorb them. Humus separates clay and binds sand. Peat, woodsearth, rotted manure, leaves, straw, garden refuse and anything that hAs once had life and can be disintegrated, supplies the needed humus. Tho greatest mistake a gardener j can make is to 'plant without proper preparation of the soil. The next greatest is thinking that Just any soil will do for just any plant.'
