CAMDEN GARDEN NOTES

Club.)
Last week most of the services at Explain Capillary Attraction. Solta
the Red Cross were busy with prep- ^ually from conUlnlm?
aratlons for the Horse Rarea. Mrs. tw water and from having ^
Russell, sewing chairman, had Red'»«««• The maintenance of a suitable
Cross caps and arm bands made for
all the workers who served on the
field. The Motor Corps solicited cop-
tributions, the staff assistants sold
programs and the Canteen prepared
and sold sandwiches and soft drinks.
We. want to thank Mr. Brown, of
the Camden Chroni^, for his gener

and especially upon its capillarity
Capillary attraction is a physical prop
erty known by action, if not name, to
everyone, if a sheet of blotting pap
er is held to a drop of ink, the latter
rushes to the paper. That is the re
sult of capillarity. ,It is due to tho
presence of innumerable very small
lubes ifi the paper. There are many
tubes in the soil, and the finer the
soil, the more delicate they .are and
the more efficient thfy become. The
smaller tho diameter of such a tube,
the higher will moisture rise in it,
through the action of this capillary
force. On the other hand, the coars
er the soil, that is. the more inferior
their tilth, the wider will be the cap
illary tubes. If Xhey are too wide,
they cease operations altogether. If

Dear Mrs. vonTresckow;
How are you and the Major? T am
fine and was so glad to find your note
of Dec. 22 waiting on my return from
the hoapital. When I returned
found quite a stack of letters and one
package waiting for me.
Quite often I think of you and many
of my friends thht I made while serv
ing at church and working at the ser
vJce station with Mr. Salmond.
The snow scenes hero in Italy are
very beautiful, especially Mt. Vesuv
lus. When she is blanketed, all of her
lines showing her crater, ridges, and
gullies, seem to come to the surface.
Her white botllng steam blends In
perfectly with the snow.
At night it looks as if someone had
built a fire on top. In the day, if It
like some gigan»
tic chimney sending up huge- gushes
of black smoke, but If it is clear and
fair, she looks ax if she is boiling
over with steam.
One night she reminded me of the
Fourth of July fireworks. She was
actually ’‘blowing her top," and it
looked like rockets ascending and de.
scpnding In the sir.
Please give our friends my regards.

tubes to he always small and active.
Another very important point to
keep in mind; if all the capillary
tubes are open to. the surface, espec
tally during a period of dry weather,
evaporation wilt take place so freely
from them, that the underground
store of moisture may be insufficient
to supply the demand. It is, there
fore. absolutely necessary, by fre
quent stirring, to keep the surface of
the soil in such a state that the cap
illary tubes are broken, a little below
the surface. The constant, shallow
cultivation of the soil during dry
weather, serves to conserve, rather
than to dissipate, the underground
moisture.
Soil is not exactly what it appears
to be to the natural eye, dead, inert
matter. If there is any organic mat
ter in. soil, it will be found to be teem
ing with life, from the small bacter

highest powered microscope, to the

A study of the effect of good hot
school lunches on children in s mral
school area of Pickens county has
been made recently by specialists of
the Sonth Carolina Experiment sta
tion. Some of the findings ‘(rf the
study are set forth in the new Ihtperi-
ment Station circular 66, School
Lunches in Twp Rural cominnnRies.
The study dealt with chHdren in
one school receiving daily hot lunches
at th^ mid-moming receM er the noon
recess and with children in another
school who received fruits, juices,

The hot lunches included vegetables
canned by WPA workers, sorghum and
turnip greens grown at school, dried
beans and peas, sweet potatoes,
cereals, fruits, meat, bread and milk.
"Winter lunches were ’ planned to
provide at least one-thlrd of the aver
age dally requirement of the children
and adults eating them for calories
and protein, and one-half or more of
the estimated need for calcium, iron,
and vitamins,” says Miss Ada ’M.

Although gains in height and weight
were made by children in both schools,
the greatest gains occurred in the
school serving the hot daily lunch.
