Watermlons and ,6?eds
Uced for Mahy Purposes
In its studies of the control of
. , watermelon diseases the United States
Department of Agriculture has found
that there are numerous uses for
watermelons outside of their consumption
as a popular fruit. Housewives
have long been familiar with
pickles and preserves made from
( watermelon rind. In China and other
oriental countries watermelon seed is
used as a table delicacy. Seedsmen in
this country not only ship seed for
this purpose, hut also find a market
for their product in the Chinese districts
of New York and San Francisco.
This liking for the seed is evidently
not restricted to the Orient, for
some years ago a well-known explorer
reported an African tribe that sharpened
the teeth in order to hotter strip
the hulls from watermelon seeds.
Within recent years a firm in Alabama
has undertaken to manufacture vinegar
from the juice, and from Russia
come reports that during the past few
years of hardship concentrated watermelon
juice has been used in place of
sugar to sweeten coffee.
The production of watermelon sec??
is an industry by itself. In a single
county in Florida approximately 7,000
acres of watermelons are grown annually
for seed purposes. This one section
supplies a great proportion of the
watermelon seed planted in the United
States, and on occasion also ships to
foreign platners. In recent years shipments
of seed for planting have been
made to Tarsus, Asia Minor, to China
and other far-distant points.
During past years profits in our
southern watermelon industry have
been severely cut, due to the effect of
several destructive diseases. Anthracnose,
a fungous disease of the foliage
and fruit, means reduced yield and
pock-marked melons that rot in the
field and in the freight car. Stem-end
rot is a trouble that occurs in transit
only, and originates with infection of
the melon by the causal organism at
the cut stem. Anthracnose is controlled
by spraying the vines; stem-end rot
by the practice of field sanitation and
stem treatment. Plans are being made
by the Department of Agriculture to
assist growers, distributors and ear?
riers in the proper application of disease-control
measures during the conijq
ing season.
Starving in Palaces
ht
^ The terrible plight of Vienna, the
l*y widespread starvation among the peoa
pie, has attracted the sympathy of
ia' the whole world. But there is one
n" respect in which the Vienna workman
'3" is better off than his fellows any0
where else in the world?and that is
3,1 in housing. Rent restrictions have
u" placed truly palatial quarters within
83 reach of even the poorest, as the following
notes from the correspondent .
a" of the Berlin Vossiseho Zeitting show: ,
?* "The town of Vienna is snendinel
annually at the present time one and ,
one half billion crowns (one and a
er half million dollars) for public wel"e*
fare. It supports the largest infirma?f
ries nnd the largest lunatic asylums in
he the world. Fifty crowns per head
are needed to provide the old men and
as women, who can no longer live but
are not yet able to die, with bare ne) ?
cessities. The nourishment which is
>1- granted would not be sufficient to keep
re, a w? rking man on his legs. This
9t, amount is barely sufficient for the vegin,
etating existence of the 12,000 inhabi'o
Units of the Vienna charitable institutions.
Anyone who has a wife and
e- three children to keep, needs 250,000
N. crowns (fwo hundred and fifty dolre
lars) a year to keep up a standard of
rs, life equal to that of the Workhouse.
>n, The director of the largest hospital in
a.; Vienna is paid 212,000 crowns ($212)
nd a year."
"Dowries are no longer asked after
~ in Vienna. A million is nothing at
all. Moderate smokers need the in?
terest of such a fortune for cigarettes."
"It is almost more difficult to get
rul nn apartment in Vienna than in Berlin
jje in spite of the number of inhabitants
ia having decreased by more than 200,ny
000. This need of apartments can only
be explained that the rent has disc's
appeared. Formerly the workman had
ia3 to spend the fourth or fifth pnrt of
m I his wages for any old corner. He
I IS 1 H 1 *
a- I,vt:u worse man any ciass 01 people
in middle Europe. Besides the family
id- their grown-up and married children,
an ordinary apartment of two
rooms would be occupied by lodgers,
who in many cases would change during
the night inshifts. The regulations
for the protection of the tenant
at have had the result that such an
-tf apartment costs about a thousand
" crowns ($1) a year. This must be
compared with the wages per hour of
a skilled workman inthe city, which
|g r.mount to two hundred crowns (about
2f> cents.) It is certain that under
such conditions nobody will take in
?r lodgers, and people who were satisfied
it- until now with any kind of a refuge
now aim at having their own home,
m "At the same time the old houses
of Vienna are always becoming more
rotten and dilapidated; for the proprietors
are all ruined,
tur The following belongs to the stories
?n which might be true:
"Shortly before the outbreak of
war a Vienna merchant quarreled
with a Swiss customs official. He was
I even imprudent enough to give the of
1 ficial a box on the ear. This box on
the ear hafi now brought him in quite
a large sum of money. He had at
that time to leave behind a thousand
francs as bail, in order to be allowed
to leave. A short while ago he decided
to give himself up to the Swiss justice
^ and he was condemned to pay fifty
francs. After paying his traveling
r" and other expenses there still remained
160,000 crowns over."
Exceedingly 41 'Umble"
About Hit Country
The New York Times Book Review
of January 22d, has a review by Richard
Le Gallienne of "Dry America,"
by one Mike Monahan.
We do not know whether Mr. Monahan
is kin to Mr. Finnagin, but we do
know that he is off again.
What strikes us is that Mike i9
awfully humble about his country
which he calls "There Benighted
States."
In his opinion we are all badly henpecked.
"A nation may be ruled by
its women, but it can only be defended
I y its men." How fortunate that we
will have Mike to defend us even if
we are not worth defending.
Michael says: "Congress is composed
mainly of women and epieenes,
with a scattering of men."
He attributes the success of prohibition
to feminism and parsos, these
latter forming a narrow, ignorant,
chapel theocracy, as Mr. Le Gnllienne
says in his review. It seems that he
also thinks that these chapelites have
dosigns on the Church of Rome. Really
we cannot plead guilty to it for if
there is any Romanist church that has
not been able to get enough wine for
its mass we do not know where it is
located.
Mr. Monahnn says that in California
"women have suffrage and the
men have prohibition." Also, fortunately,
the men have the women.
Mr. Monahan emphasizes the opinion,
which he attributes to Europe,
"that we are culturally, in a very
primitive and backward state," adding
that "we are a mediocre people.
* * * In plainer words, we lack true
culture and sanity of mind which cannot
exist without it. These things are
the gift of the classic tradition, which
is without loot in our land."
The spectacle of uncultured Americans
pussyfooting to Europe to
spread prohibition makes Mike crawl
under the chair from which place of
vantage he declaims:
"And what a nerve, if you please!
Or shall we not rather call it the
sublimation of pure gall and impudence
? A people that has about
reached the Fourth Reader stage of
culture, without genius or art. tradition
or achievement in the higher
realms of the mind to undertake to
son e by Salvation Army methods the
most variously gifted and highly civilized
nation of Europe?the home of
art, the capital of civilization, the
nursery of all the rarer forms of human
genius! Are we-licensed by our
superabundant dollars to thrust our
ignorance and fanaticism, unasked,
upon the amiable French people quite
competent as they are to take care of
themselves? Can you imagine a proposition
more gorgeously absurd?one
that more colosally certifies the national
cheek? It is really quite too
deliriously hyperbolical. The country
that rejoices in the literary art
nf Harold Bell Wright as its most
successful exhibit in kind that is virtually
without living representation
in the first rank of any art or science
to give lessos to France with her
unfailing heritage of genius! Yankee
Puritanism to conduct a Dry-orbe-Damned
campaign among the polite
and temperate French, who as
Anatole France well says, "have the
virtue of moderation in their bones.'"
Coming right down to brass tacks
this kind of abuse of the United States
indicates the unAmerican nature of
the anti-prohibition campaign. Of
course, in the case of Michael, it may
bo that his remarks are due to the
inability to digest home brew, but
this is not so of the majority of the
anti-prohibitionists. They are against
prohibition because they are against
America. They think Plymouth Rock
should have landed on the Pilgrims,
instead of the Pilgrims landing on
Plymouth Rock. Jamestown and all
that proceeded from it, is, in their
opinion, n blot on history. They will
never be satisfied until they drown everything
that is really American in
America under floods of "liberal" immigration;
until all that smacks of
Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Lee and Frances Willard is driven
out of American life.
February Garden Reminders
If the seed corn has not been tested,
now is the time. The rag doll
system is simple and efficient. It is
much better to spend a little time
now weeding out the ears low in
germination than to spend several
clays in the busy season this summer
leplanting corn.
Beware of the seed catalogue with
the impossible claims. There never
was a strawberry plant that woulu
produce two hundred berries or
pumpkins that hid the corn, as the
pictures in some unreliable catalogs
indicate.
It is time to be thinking about the
hot bed for starting the tomato, cabbage
and sweet potato plants. In
the south, tobacco seed will be planted
in the cold frames. The hot bed
should be built on dry ground with a
southern exposure so that it will get
all the sunlight possible. The

Working Toward a
College Education
(From Southern Ruraliat.)
Nellie C. Smith, of the Coleraine
Girls' Home Demonstration Club of
Union county. South Carolina, is an
enthusiastic club member, because
she doves the work end has been very j
successful in all she has undertaken.'
Nellie was one of the first girls to
join the club at its organization in
the fall of 1919. and s0\ce that time
she has been a mo9t loyal follower of
the 4-H sign. The organization of
the girls of this community marked
the beginning of great progress both
in the homos and in the school. Prior i
to this time Home Demonstration
work had not been introduced into
the community, and there were few
interests outside the immediate section.
In joining the club Nellie says:
"I joined because I thought I
could learn something which would'
be of much importance, and at the |
same time I could be earning some!
money to help pay my way through !
college."
With these high aspirations, it is
no wonder that Nellie has made a
success of her club work.
Nellie's chief interest is in grow- i
ing vegetables, so she joined the gar !
dening and canning club. She con-;
centrated her efforts on the growing j
of tomatoes on her tenth-acre plot. |
This plan might not be advisable in :
some communities, but in this par-;
ticular instance it worked well, be-;
cause Nellie knew where she could 1
best market her tomatoes. During
the growing season the garden re- '
ceived the best attention under the
supervision of the County Home:
Demonstration Agent, Miss Mahala
J. Smith. No detail of care and cul- '
tivation was neglected by this ener-1
getic club girl. As soon as leaf-spot
appeared, spraying was done more1
regularly than before. As a result '
of constant and careful attention a
large crop was harvested. On July 3,;
the first ripe tomatoes were gathered,
and during the next three months
Nellie marketed 1,478 pounds. The
market was a mill village near by,
and the people were anxious to get
fresh vegetables and were willing to
pay a good price for them.
At the first of the season the price
for tomatoes was 50 cents per dozen,
but it soon dropped lower. The av-!
erage pr:ce received during: the sea-j
son was 30 cents per dozen. In this j
connection we must not fail to say i
that Nellie's father was a very interested
and helpful assistant. He it
was who drove to the mill village
every few days to sell the tomatoes.
If they did not bring the price he
expected to get, he refused to sell,
and took them back home to he canned
for winter use. In'-thus way Nellie
stored 80 No & cans r pantry
shelf. All during the summer the
family table was kept well supplied
with the luscious fruit, 381 pounds 1
being used for this purpose.
Nellie carried on another line of
work in connection with her gardening.
The club girls were having reg
ular sewing lessons, and Nellie was
a faithful and efficient seamstress
She made her club apron and cap.
besides several other pieces of clothing.
It would be impossible to enumerate
the many .benefits received
through the club, and the club work.
In a financinl way, Nellie made a net
profit of $123.84. This amount is on
deposit in a Union bank, and has been
put there for the express purpose of j
ht.lt.ino- ,lnf?v oolloo-o ? ...1? '

Nellie goes to college. Another re J
suit of her work is the effect it ha^i
had on the community. Other club
members were informed of this good
club work and it has helped to arouse
the interest of old and young in extension
work with a view to making
the Coleraine community a bettei
place in which to live. At a recent
public gathering and picnic an immense
crowd assembled to learn better
methods of farming and home
making, and to discuss other forms of
community improvement.
Nellie won a scholarship to the
State Home Demonstration Short
Course held at Winthrop College th?
past June, and a happier girl was not
to be found among the 200 girls in
attendance. She took part in everv
form of work and play that was offered,
and took advantage of every
opportunity afforded her by Winthrop
College. Her special cours?
while there was in jelly-making, and
she so mastered this art that on her
return home she gave a splendid
demonstration to the women and
girls of her home club. Nellie likes
Winthrop so well that she hopes to
return in a year or two as a fullfledged
college student.

Philippines Exports
On The Increase
Mhniln, P. I., Dec. 30.?(By Mail).
?For the first time in many months
the balance of trade of the Philippine
Islands during November was in the
favor of the islands. The total trade
for the month amounted to $13,176,000
of which $8,032,311 was for exports
and $5,143,851 was for imports.
According to the bureau of customs
the excess of exports over imports is
due both to the fact that the T'h'lippinea
have bought less than usual and
to a better market for copra, sugar
and hemp, some of the leading products
of the country.

Anniversary of Sinking ,
of Battleship Maine t
Chicago, Feb. 10.?Calling attention
to the anniversary, February t
l.r?, of the sinking of the hattleshin ?
Maine, Oscar E. C'arlstrom, Com- :
mander in (thief of the United Span
ish War Veterans in u written state- <
inent today declared it his belief that
the war with Spain which ensued, '
"laid the foundation for that unity
of action and singleness of purpose i
which enabled America to act with I
such force and consequence in the i
great World War."
"When on February l.r>, 1808," he
writes, "the news was flashed across ;
the United States that the battleship
Maine resting at anchor in the <
harbor of Havana on a friendly mission
had been blown up and had settled
into a watery grave carrying
with her 2(!(> of her crew to a death
hurled upon them without opportunity
for even resistance, the spirit
of ^America flamed into an unquencnable
passion."
Commander Carlstrom then sketch
ed the activities of the army ant'
navy in the Spanish-American War,
telling of Dewey's victory, the Oregon's
trip around the Horn and the
achievements of Schley and Sampson
at sea and Shafter and I?*iwton on
land.
"Three of four months and it was
over," he said. "Many have asked
what it all amounted to? In our i
opinion, first: It bound together the
North nnd the South, the East and
the West dn the unbreakable ties of
comradeship in arms. Second: It
taught the world that the sleeping
young gianf, America, could rise nnd
strike mightily nnd quickly, decisive
blows for liberty and human rights,
unselfishly. Third: It gave to Am
ericji her first place, her first concern
nnd a lending position of re
spect in the Councils of the Nations."
Commander Carlstrom concluded
his statements by reciting the objects
of the Spanish-American Wav
Veterans and issuing an invitation
for all those who are eligible, to join.
