Gardens and Health Go Hand

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

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."
Thousands of women have suffered
as Mrs. Williams describes, until f.hcy

>e necessary to keep the garden in
rood condition.
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. More than half of the!
work of growing farm gardens is

FACTS ABOUT I
TOBACCO CROP,
Wilson D. 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. S.?You people in Horry county
are very fortunate in having a man
among vou who is capable of advising
you during these days of the financial
criris?a man whom you should all
he proud of?a man from whom you
can get good common sense business
ideas?a man who can come as near
telling you what is best for you in a
business way as any man you could
find between Conway and Washington
or Conway and Frisco?a man
who is not only well enough informed
to advise you, but financially able
to help you?a man who is not oppressive
in a business way?a man
who seems to be in business not altogether
to make money for himself,
but in part to help Jthers?a man
whose heart seems to be with the
people. I sometimes wonder if his
heart is not with the people the same
us Woodrow Wilson. The man whom
I speak of is Mr. F. A. Burroughs.
