Fanning Operations TEMTH OF ACRE SUPPLIES NEEDS Gardens and Health Go Hand in Hand But Few Realize This it Seems. Home vcteable gardens will he just as important in stabilizing the food supply in 1021 as they have been at any time durin.tr the past few years, say garden specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Urgent need for increased production of food during the war caused thousands of rural and urban residents to plant gardens, \vhich resulted in establishing the garden habit. This year, specialists say, home gardens will play an important part in thrift and economy. Thousands of acres of uncultivated land in and about many large cities will be utilized this year to furnish employment and recreation to home gardeners who know that by raising their own supply of vegetables they can materially reduce their liv- i ing costs. Enough For Average Family. One-tenth of an acre of fairly good j ground?a square about G5 feet each ! way?will supply the greater part of the vegetables needed by the average family, say garden specialists of the department. The cost of seeds and fertilizers for a garden of this size should not exceed $15 to SIS, and may not cost more than $5 or $10. Experience has shown that not ! more than 100 hours should bo required for planting and caring for a . 1-10 acrc garden. This time is so distributed throughout the season that the work can be easily done by most persons working in factories, stores or offices. It means an average of five or six hours a week for a period , of twenty weeks, or merely enough' time for proper outdoor recreation) and exercise necessary for good health. More time will he required early in the season while the garden is being prepared and planted uu.n during the summer, when not more than two or three hours a week will WEAK, NERVOUS, ALL RUN-DOWN J ? Missouri Lady Suffered Until She Tried Cardui.?Says " Result Was Surprising."?Got Along Fine, Became Normal and Healthy. ? Springfield Mo.?"My back was bo ' weak I could hardly Btand up, and I; would have bearing-down pains and was not well at any time," says Mrs. [ D. V. Williams, wife of a well-known ' farmer on Route 6, this place. "I kept getting headaches and having to go to bed," continues Mrs. Williams describing the troubles from which she obtained relief through the use ol ' Cardui. My husband, having hoard of Cardui, proposed getting it for me. | . "I saw after taking some Cardui ? . . that I was improving. The result was surprising. I felt like a different person. "Later 1 suffered from weakness find weak back, and felt all run-down. 1 did not rest well at night, 1 was so nervous and cross. My husband said he would get me some Cardui, which he did. It strengthened me . . . My doctor said I got along fine. I was in good healthy condition. I cannot f>ay too much for it."

A little time during the mornings, evenings and on holidays spent in tlie rardon is a good investment. A garlen is like a farm, however, in that it produces according to the attention given it. A well-cared-for garden will produce much higher ^yields than [?no which is neglected. The average return in money value from a 1 -10 Eiore plot of ground usually is about ?85 for a season. Plenty of fresh vegetables direct from the garden to the tab'e is of j vastly greater importance than the money value, the cutting out of midd'emen's profits or transportation pvoMemr-. The question of saving and cost, however, may prove a very i ?w>rtant factor before the Hose of another year. Already there is much unemployment of labor and the local or home production of foocU in the garden is the surest*, way of safeguarding the family food supply. It is s."i<l that the farmers of the country could cut themselves off from the rest of the people and live comfortably for an indefinite period, be?':>u?e they can produce practically everything that they need. Gardens furnish an important part of the living of families on farms and the same principles will apply to people who live in cities, towns and vi 11 aires who have access to a small tract of land on which to grow a garden. There is no more healthy exercise than that of working in the soil. The old doctor who advised the dyspeptic to go out on the farm and follow the plowman had the right idea. So simple a?i operation as hoeing or raking the soil brings into play muscles of the body that seldom do any work. Tl.. -.*-1 1 i in* muscuiar exercise, coupled witn the deep breathing of pure out-door air, together with the effect of the sunshine, all tend to promote health. Taking It Easy at First. There is nothing connected with the work of cultivating a garden that has a tendency to injure the health unless overexertion is indulged in. Persons who habitually work indoors should be rather careful when they first be- J gin working in direct sunshine. When J the work is first started the muscles are stiff and weakened from inactivity and it is necessary to go slowly until they get into play. Very few cases of sunstroke or heat prostration among gardeners have been reported. A little precaution in the beginning will ward off probability of heat injury. Garden work begins early in the springtime while the weather is pleasant, and by the time the hot period comes on the gardener will have accustomed himself to outdoor conditions, so that heat will have little effect upon him. Gardens and health go hand in hand, and many reports have been received by the Department of Agriculture of the health-giving results of garden work. Eren on farms where men do the heavy labor of preparing the garden, women find light work in the garden c*' great benefit, for the duties of the farm women often keep her too closely confined in the' house, and the garden affords an op- j portunity to get out into the open air and sunshine.

Lowriniore Gives Facts and Advice to the Farmers. Shelbyville, Ky. i Editor Herald. ? Before time for j setting tobacco in Horry county 1 ( want to write .iust a few words, stat-! ing as near as I can just what grades | are selling best and amount of :-)ur- j plus on hand. Since last planting* time farm proI ducts, along with everything else, i from a brass pin to an airship, have i dropped so much in value that farmers are up in the air and wondering what is best for them fro plant. The farmers all over the different; tobacco belts in the United States are told they must cut their crop if they ever expect better prices. The farmers in the South are told they must reduce the cotton crop. The farmers! | of the western and central parts of the country are told if they expect j better prices they must reduce their wheat and corn crops. Now, as to what tobacco will sell for this coming July and August is only an opinion, but I have every I reason to believe that good tobacco. in South Carolina will sell for a fair : price and that the inferior grades will sell as low or ever lower than before the war. 1 hear some of the independent! companies say that there are five | hundred million pound of surplus tobacco. I believe there is twice that amount, but it is medium and common grades, for when good grades are on the market it always brings a good price. Now, you farmers remember that all those who grew the i better grades last year got good I prices, and you people in South Caro- j lina got much better prices for your medium and common grades than the! people of other tobacco belts, as you i sold before the dron hit us. Now, when we left South Carolina' and the North Carolina market open-! ed we found one of the most inferior crops that they ever had grown, yet one man out of about every ton had ! a fine grade and got just as much or j more money than the South Carolina! farmer, and they are still selling a I, great deal of tobacco in North Caro- J lina and Virginia, and while tobacco ? is cheaper than it was a few weeks ago. one farmer averages 4 cents and another farmer averages 50 conts. j January 1 Kentucky opened well. I This is my eighth season in the Blue' Grass State and I have never seen j as common a crop of tobacco. One' man comes in with a load of common ! goods. He possibly averages 1, 2, 3j' 4 or 5 cents. His neighbor drives in i with a big load of good tobacco and goes home singing and shouting; his : neighbor goes home crying. The growing of tobacco has been like any other business for the last few years. It has been so that a man could buy most anvthine and sell it a pain i" a very short time for a profit, and ! any fool could make money growing tobacco. That time has passed into history, hut there is .iust as good or; hotter future for the man who has; the right kind of tobacco land and knows how to grow and cure it, as there c\*er was. You will see this coding July and August, if the sea-1 sons are favorable and an unexpected financial panic don't hit the country, J farmer^, averaging "> cents and lower and farmers averaging 25 cents and better, so you see its the grade and not the pounds that count. We are averaging around 13 coats here, but .iust a few farmers get most! of the money. The price of cotton has dropped so | that you Horry county boys feel likej you are ruined, but let me say that ( the most independent farming section' in the United States today is Horry j county and a few of her sister counties. You all get a fair price for your tobacco and you are small farmers, and while some of you are in debt, you are not ruined financially. Now, let's look at Eastern North Carolina for a few minutes. In the fall of 1919 thov got nearly a dollar a pound f<>r thei 1* tobacco. In the spring of 1920 they planted the face of the earth in tobacco, expecting a dollar a pound again, and made debts i accordingly and some of them went in debt $2/00 on ten acres and posI sibly got, $ '00 or $500 for their crop. i Now. these neonle in Eastern North Carolina can't plant a big crop of j tobacco. The crop in my judgment in ton or fifteen counties will he cut fift" per cent. Now, when you pro | up into the old helt of North Carolina, they had better tobacco and got better prices. They will plant tobacco. Kentucky is hit heavy. A few years ago thc-e were very few small farmers in Kentucky, but the last two or three years these farms have been cut up by real estate companies and sold into small farms at $200 to j $f>00 and $(>00 per acre, with no more j than one-fourth cash and small pay-, ments. The average Kentucky farm-j er is geting nothing for his tobacco,) nothing for his corn. His cattle and i hog's havo drooped and he can't soil the mules he raised. Kentucky, in my opinion, will cut her tobacco crop; half in two. Now, in conclusion, let me say aj few words about old Shelbyville. She j is a pretty little town, the count/ seat of Shelby county, on an interurban line, about twenty miles from Louisville. and sells about sixteen miPion pounds of tobacco. It would worry a [lorry county farmers if he should i drive lito Shelbyville and be told that he could not sell his load of tobacco until next week. Tn most markets as large as this they have two sets of buyers, but here we have only one and the sales could go on here from 0 o'clock until 4 eveiv day if not another pound should be brought in. tT, 8. C . MARCH 10, 1921 There are five big warehouses here and it takes all day to sell one house, therefore each house only gets one sale a week, as we do not sell on Saturday. Every bit of floor space in town is full and all driveways in w ^-chouse* rnd tob-xcco wpgons lined j up on each side of the street, with canvass over them and numbered, for a half mile in the tobacco district, teams unhitched, and to make it worse, nine inches of snow and still snowing* We expect to have block sales here until about April 1st. I'm longing to see the season close so I can return home to the Independent Republic of Horry County, where the flowers bloom and the sun always shines. ?W. D. Lowrimore. P.

It was built in 1816 when Washington was arising out of the j ashes after its burning by the British in 1812. Several chiefs executives, including Lincoln, attended the New York. Avenue Presbyterian Church, a red brick structure which stands at the intersection of New York Avenue and H street, onlv a few blocks) from the White House. Lincoln was said to have attended many mid week prayer services at this church unknown to the congregation. He would walk next to the assembly room by way of the alley door, and there in the dark, with the door open just a crack, would silently remain through the service. Washington worshipped at Christ's Church in Alexandria, which still stands as a shrine for the visitor in search of memories of the Father of His Country. Jefferson and John Adams attended Old St. John's Church in Georgetown. The church where President Taft, the only chief executive of the Unita rian faith, worshipped at Fourteenth and L streets, has been razed to make way for a commercial building.
