Many disappointments are to be
found in farming, as in every other
kind of calling. It is the average that
? r
counts, running over a pcnuu vi
years.

The spoken word is great hut the
written word is greater. There is no j
limit to what may be done with eith- j
er.
o
The limit lias never been reached ir |
human progress and never \\ i:t be. '
There is no limit to what can be done
except the limits that nature ha
placed on mafn. Any thing can be done
within the limits of the powers of hu-j
man brain and muscle.

It takes good judgment and plent\
of thought to be able to decide all of j
the problems that beset us through I
this life. There is no better solvent j
than hard down thinking on them . J

Some of those who had their irish j
potatoes injured by the frost of week !
before last say that they believe they j
may gain by the operation, for accord
ing to what they say, the crop will be |
apt to turn more and larger potatoes!
than it would if the plants had not
been set back. According to this the
frosts only hurt the tops and caused
the plants to put on new growth aftei
xeceovering from the cold.

Ruination and failure usually follow
the use of careless and extravagant
methods and practices in any
business . Many a merchant has miscalculated
his chances for success
when going into debt .
o
EATING FOR PEP.
Some years ago we knew ol' a man
who was threatened with attack by
serious disease, and he consulted specialists
on his trouble. They treated
him and gave him instruction. The
most important pari of their advice, j
according to them, was that he return
home and mix with his diet every day'
a certain amount of green vegetables
fresh from the garden . Early Spring
greens, mustard, young onions, early
cabbage, celery, radishes and young
turnips were to be used every day ac-j
cordingly as he might be able to obtain
them. He did this and the trouble
has disappeared through many years
that have slipped by since then.
The editor of this paper is no doctor
and makes no utter-'pi to use here the ;
hard words employed by doctors and
expert dietists, and will simply say j
that there are elements in the youngj
vegetables, such as cannot he obtained
by the human system from the;
white bread and cakes, the wnitc rice,
and grits, white bacon and even othe;
forms of meat that are so largely con
sumed by the people
There is not a doubt but what the
frequent lack .of pep that is felt by
some people, let us call it plain laziness
if you will, is due to a lack of
those things in the daily diet that
will fill the system with the energy
and strong nerve, if they were only
eaten.
We often find the man <>r woman
who will not rat any tfreen vegetable:*,
at all, and they al>*o refuse to take
milk, butter or choose. Krom this
, crowd there is usually recruited the
pellagrins who ome limes help fil!
the lunatic a: y'luvs of the country.
They have lived theii lives so far on
one or two c< rluin t'vngs on their
daily menu and nothing in heaven or
earth would make the in want anything
else, or eat anything else.
One reason why the home garden is
so important, is hccau -o it contributes
to the better health of all the members
of the family, that is, if they will
use the things that are grown in it.
How often it :s, that we find some one
or two members of any family who
will not look at such a simple thing as
greens when they see them on the
table . Thev go on year in and vear
out eating thr same articles and no
other, ami of course their bodies cannot
ho supplied with the element that
they can only get from such,things,
More and more it is. becoming plain
that preserved food, while good in its
way, is oot ^(|ual to that which ha?
been recently alive and growing
; Note the difference in a pb'f1 of string
beaYis taken from a can ,und the same
article of food cooked the same da>
the- po<is are picked from the vines
There is all the difference in th<
*'orld in the way they taste and then
4s a great difference in the amount ol
tfood the body pets from eating them
, Think of these things and profit b\
patronizing the home garden ever.v
day.

ANOTHER CASE
NOW RECALLED
Only Reasonable Explanation
is That Work is Done by
Human Agency
Fair Bluff, N\ C.?Quite a bit of
interest has been created in town ami
the nearby country by freakish pictures
that have recently made their
appearance on two or three tombstones
in the Fair Bluff cemetery.
The tombstone in question are of
snow white marble, on one of them,
erected in 1911 over the grave of a
well known lady, there is the very
distinct outlines of a woman's head
and body on side fronting over the
grave. The most conspicious feature j
is the hair. The facit'l features are,
dim and vague but the hair surround1
ing the head is as perfect and natural
as in any photograph.
It is done up in colonial style and !
with the other features it appears to j
I be imbedded in the stone with a thin I
veil of stone covering it aw! partly!

same family plot over a grave of a
brother of tVe lady who?died in 11)08,1
there is a period reproduction of :i i
saddle of the style that is known a
a Texas saddle, deep seated .and with;
the high horn and flanks common j
with, this variety. Kven the heavy i
straps and heavy leather stirrups are
there. Coincident with the presence
of the saddle on the stone it is interesting
to note that the young man
buried in that particular ,u rave was a i
bit wild and that he spent some time j
in the West at the stock yards.
The foregoing dispatch, which appeared
in the news and Observer of
Kaleigh, North Carolina, having been
sent into that newspaper by some cor
respondent in Kair Bluff,, North Caro
lina, caused some interest in Conway
as there is prominent people here
who have deceased relatives at Fair
Bluff.
The Herald has taken steps . to
have this matter investigated to
find out if the likeness referred to are
actually appearing on (these tombstones
in accordance with the reports
which are now being widely circulated
throughout this section of South
Carolina and throughout the counties
of Robeson and Columbus.
It is stated on good authority by
persons whose word cannot ue doubted
that a similar occurrence has taken
place and that this lis located on
some tombstones in Dillon county,
1 iot I lillrvn u n/l T nf fn 1
UV/IIIV II VI II AS III \J I I (UIU 1AHVU?
South Carolina. The story is told
that some years a^o one of the
tombstones in a country cemetery
there appeared the head and shoulders
of a lady and an infant in her
arms above the grave where a lady
had been buried. This likeness u; on
the granite was illuminated at first
to a great extent and it could be seen
for some distance away > from the
graveyard. In later years this likeness
has become dim but it is there
sufficiently clear 10 be seen and appears
to be inlaid within the surface
of the stone so that it would be hard
for any scientist to explain how any
artist could have transferred such a
picture to the stone and especially
to have illuminated it. The Herald
has had this story concerning; the
likeness in Dillon County frofi on
who has gone arid looked at the likeness
on the tombstone and there i
net a doubt but what the drawingappears
there, and while the Herald
informant, \has to depend ut>on
| stories told by ethers as to when
this took place : n<1 as to the brilliancy
of the illumination referred to
when the phenomenon first appearel,
1 neither can he tel! how many years
it has been since the death of tlvilady
took place nor how lonp* ai't'*r
that bejfore the likeness apnea'od.
I Of course it is hard to believe that
anything of this kind could happen
in nature. Thero is no way whereby
a photograph even can be produced
j inlaid as an ornament within tl*jstone,
or (so it would appear.
The onlv reasonable oxnlanatiin of
: the mattor w.uid ho ilia1 some person
possessed or some secret process
of transferring pictures into stone,

that arc harl to explain, biu itnnv

they should have been, and so will

If wo allow six pounds of sugar to J

less than the average per capita con

Dr. W. H. Mills, specialist in rural
organizations.
While we are casting* about for
crops to substitute cotton, let us not
forget sorghum and sugar c-ane for
syrup. Every county in the state
now grows some of one or the other;
almost every county could double its
acreage and then not produce enough
to satisfy the demands of its population
for syrup. Sugar is necessary

Plant early cabbage in tho richest!
part of the pardon, havii.j^ previously j
worked into the soil ail the rotted ma- j
nure that can be spared and ihen addcd
high-grade commercial fertilizer j
at the rate of 10 pounds to every 100
feet of row . The fertilizer should be
well mixed with the top 4 inches of
soil over a space the full width of the
vow, which is generally 3 feet.
Do not plant cabbage on land where i
it was grown last year, especially if
any of the heads were diseased or I.
showed any kind of trouble. It is al- j
ways a good plan to rotate crops, even
in the small home garden. Cabbage
is subject to several diseases, but fortunately
these do not do much harm in
small gardens. Insects, however, play
havoc with the crop from the time it
is planted, (^utworms are g enerally
waiting in the soil during early spring
to cut off the stems of the cabbage
plants just at the surface of the
ground.
Protect the Plants From Cutworms, j
The l>est remedy, or rather preven- j
tative, is to place bands or tubes of!
stiff paper around the stems of the
plants as they are being set in the
garden. Thin cardboard makes id"al
plant protectors . By cutting the card]
board into strips about inches wide,)
sections can be cut off anil rolled
around a lead pencil to form a tube.
The protectors should extend an inch
below the surface and at least 2 inch-1
es abobve . After the stems of the i
cabbage plants have become toughen- i
ed and begin to grow rapidly the pro- !
tectors can be taken off.
Cabbage worms, the eggs for which
are laid by the light-yellow butt?rflies
that are often seen flying ab ut
| the cabbage plants, do a great amount!
I of damage . Du<t:ng the foliage and
the heads with air-slaked lime, to I
(which a little Paris green ha-? been!
added, or spraying them with arsen-j
ate of lead. 1 ounce ? o a rivlon of wa ,
ter, are both effective. There is no
danger as the heads grow from tho inside
and the outer leaves, to which
> the poison is applied, are all removed.

would formulate promptly such proposals
regarding reparations "'as

the matter to the atteu?on of thoi

In some sections of this state we ^
have had trouble with the pecan
hulls becoming diseased and seriously
effecting the crop of nuts. When
the pecan trees are comparatively
small, say 10 to 20 feet tall, this
disease may be controlled by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture, but in
no case that I know of has it proved
to be profitable when the t'^^s are
very large, for you then cannot cover
tho foliage and twips effectively
with I lie spray, If your pecan trees
are very thick, so as to prevent the.
sun from pene' ??t i?v?branches,
it mipht he well <or you
t<> thin out the limbs so as to admit
ample sunlight and a free*", circulation
of air. |
What is the best way to keep
Lookout Mountain potatoes until
planting '.time, in July??C. F. T,.,
Florence, S. C.
If your potatoes are in good (lition
new t.hev will keep perfectly if
placed in bags ./or bins in a coo! dark
room. It is best to arrange the baps
so as to have a free circulation of
air around them. If the eyes jbegin
to grow it would be well to remove
the potatoes from the baps and
spread them out over the'floor where
they will pet more lipht.
What is the best spray for the
control of the leaf disease of thetomato??W.
F. C., R. 1, Greenville,.
S. C.
Bordeaux mixture, the first spray
to be applied before the plants are
removed from the plant bed, the
second spray about three weeks later,
and the spraying should be continued
every two or three weeks
durinp the fruiting season. In order
to pet the best results from
spraying I would advise you to train
your tomatoes to stakes or frames
so that the spray imuy be applied
to all parts of the plants.
VC4.II ^uu UUVIM! lilt" *sriill \J9 (M>
to prevent rose blight? ? E. C. A.,
Manning, S. C.
It your rose hush is. blighted there
is nothing you can do tr? save it. ns
the trouble is no -doubt in the root.
If' the older leaves are turning yellow
and the terminal leaves are still
fresh and green, the trouble is no
doubt due to the leaf disease, which
may be cot trolled by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture, the first spray
to .be applied when the plants are
dormant, say about the middle of
February, the second as | oon as the
leaf buds begin to gnfold, and the
third just before the bloom buds hegin
to open.
Are pponir*'- suited te this climate?
? T. A. !>., Kingstree, S. C.
Peonies grow well ii ' his state,
but I would advise you to plant them
on a northern expo, ure, so they v. iil
nooni longer where partly shaded.
Pernios shou'd be planted any time
between the middle of November
; and the first of March, the fall planting
being preferable.
