HAVE A PORCH
CELERY GARDEN
i moil) p,>f' hi>
There is no "phase of vegetation
more easily and conveniently developed
or more gratlfyingly conducive
to the pleasure and happiness of the
homemaker, both from the standpoint
of beautification and excellent food
product as the porch celery box.
For this'purpose secure a box 4 feet
long, 2 feet wide and 20 inches dtfep';
place on the bottom a strata of any'
kind of soil 4 inches in depth as a
base. Cover this with a layer of
barnyard fertilizer 4 inches in depth,
above this a strata of dark, sandy
loam 4 inches in depth.
Lay the top surface off in rows \
inches apart and 1 inch deep. Let
Hiis stand 12 hours before planting
the seed. Meanwhile the seed are
soaking in sweet milk for 24 hours
for the purpose of rapid germination
and the production of stocky plants,
each of which is induced by the protein
of the milk.
When the time for soaking is ox*1

and stir in a sufficincy of soil anions
them to have each bearing an accumulation
of coating of soil.
Plant them sparingly in the little
rows already laid olT, cover seed in
the furrows, press all the soil surface
down compactly. Kep the box
well watered as soon as the soil drys
out.
When the plants are three inches
high, thin them out, leaving the permanent
growth four inches apart in
the rows. The plants which are
withdrawn may be transplanted in
the garden or disposed of to other
home makers.
Tacks or wire nails are driven
around the edges of the box to hold
the cheesecloth covering confined.
Cheesecloth is recommended as a pro4
: ? 1 - A - i *1 *
icciMMi iiucause 11 anniits tne sunlight
to the plants. As soon as frost is
over it may he removed entirely.
Keep the soil well broken between
the rows with an old fork, which is
a good substitute ;is a cultivator. Apply
liquid fertilizer, using1 poultryhouse
excrement, or occasionally a
little nitrate of soda. This forces the
plant very dapidly.
If self-blanching celery seed are
used, the little plants will begin to
bleach when they are about six inches
high. However, if any other varieties
are used for planting, pine needles
may be placed between the rows and
against the 12 inches of box left
above the surface of the soil. Place
these needles after the plants have
attained a growth of six inches and
the bleaching process will begin very
quickly.
When the lateral spires have attained
the length of 10 or 12 inches,
cut them carefully from the plant
and use. In a few weeks the plant
reproduces these. The blossom stem
should be carefully cut from the
I crown of the tap root and used by
preventing the blooming of the plant,
it continues to produce new, crisp
spires for consecutive years, thus
economizing the household expenditures
and increasing the iovx of tlm
home maker.
During those consecutive years of
the growth of these plants from the
original planting, the soil life is
maintained by the application of
liquid fertilizer frequently between
the rows oT plants.

SAY IT WITH A SMILE
It may not be necessary actually
to use a "voice with a smile" in answering
routine calls over the telephone
or in furnishing scientific information
on any of the department's
innumerable activities. On the other
hand, when one stops to consider that
the telephone furnishes one of the
main points of contact between the
department and the outside world?
that many persons, from congressmen
to Kuckyard gardeners, know the department
only through their experiences
in telephoning for necessary information,
making that brief teleph
one talk a source of satisfaction
and not of irritation, becomes a matter
of lovalty and pride.
The department is a reservoir of
scientific information upon which any
person in the United States has the
right to draw, by telephone, by letter,
or by personal call. A telephone
"visitor" to the department is surely
entitled to all the courtesy that would
be shown to any other visitor. Ir
the majority of offices it is the business
of a clerk or an assistant to answer
the telephone call. If the officc
called is not concerned with the business
of the telephone visitor, a little
thought and pains will help the inquirer
to find the right office and save
time, not only for the one calling but
for the department operator and foi
all the offices that mignt otherwise be
rung up in a frantic hunt for infor
m ofiftn.

THE HORRY HERALD, CON\*
YOU SHOULD NOT
OVERPRODUCE
-
Arthur Balfour, noted British
statesman and deputy president of
the British Chamber of Commerce,
in a recent discussion of England's
economic problems, made a statement
which might well be applied lo the
conditions which yur cotton farmers
"Hli Mr- Bul"
f#ifiWra 11
i M.un may be hungry for food and
tlothes and yet be unable to get
either. Hunger does not buy. What
buys is capacity to pay. And this
hungry world cannot buy simply because
it is ;.i beggar."
The world is hungry for cotton
goods, but cannot buy because it has
not the capacity to pay the price that
makes production profitable. If all
the people in the world could buy and
pay for all the clothes they need to
keep themselves warm, the entire
South with every acre planted in cotton
could not meet the demand. But
the world is a beggar and must dress
in beggars' rags. Only a certain few
can purchase the required amount of
clothing and food considered necessary
to maintain strength and health.
Therefore, when the statistician comes
forward with a statement showing in
cold figures depleted stocks of clothes
and empty cotton warehouses, just
think in Cartoonist Goldberg's terms,
"They don't mean anything."
Farm and Ranch reiterates its belief
that more and better cotton per
acre, but a greatly reduced acreage,
will bring more money to farmers
than a large acreage indifferently
planted and cultivated. Cotton should
be made a real money crop and the
only way to accomplish that desired
end is to produce a better staple on
a smaller acreage, planting surplus
acreage in other crops. Producing as
many commodities for home consumption
as conditions will permit should
be the aim of every farmer in the
Southwest.?Farm & Ranch, Texas.

A SUCCESSFUL POTATO
GROW ICR'S METHODS
Lately I had a letter from Mr.
George Hartman of Jefferson county,
Ky., one of the state's most successful
potato growers, of whose work I
have written before. In this letter
Mr. Hartman said:
"I have grown twenty-four crops of
potatoes in the last twelve years and
have never had a failure. I think
this has been largely due to planting
selected seed potatoes. My potato
growing methods are as follows:
"I select my seed in the spring,
cut them and put them in cold storage
for second-crop planting. When
the potatoes have got a start I go
through the fields and weed out all
the weak looking plants. I apply
about two-thirds of the manure to
plow under in the spring and the remainder
for top dressing. The first
crop is planted from the 15th of
March to the 10th of April. I plant
from 15 to 20 bushels to the acre,
according to size. I plant 12 inches
in the rows and 20 inches between the
rows. When the potatoes are sprouted
an inch long, 1 run the cultivator
through the rows and then harrow
them. When three inches high I
give them a deep cultivation. A
week later I cultivate them again.
Before the plant begins to bloom I
hill them up. About the 10th of June
I begin to dig for market and continue
until the potatoes are all dug,
so the ground is ready for second
crop. 1 take the tractor and disk the
ground to hold the moisture, and on
the 15th of July it is plowed and
second crop planted. The Bull Moose
potatoes are planted about the 15th
to 25th of July and the Cobblers later
for second crop.
"I do not plow down all the manure
because I get better results by
f nn ti'i f l-\ *\n ttf T if rPl-? /%
iw|/ in 111^ wiiii |jdi hi u. 1 i n:
second crop potatoes are not cultivated
as deep nor as often as the
first crop. I also raise a lot of sweet
potatoes, cabbage, onions, and onion
sets but potatoes are my main crop.
"I purchased my place in ID 10. At
tlv.it time the tract consisted of ten
acres of poor land. I had to put all
the improvements on the land, going
into debt for most of their cost. 1
rented twenty-five acres of additional
land adjoining me for cash rent. In
, 11)11 another twenty acres adjoining
me was put up for sale, and I pur!
chased this, paying $11,1)00 for it. In
r 1017 I paid my last debts. Every
I foot of my place is now in a very
, high state of cultivation, and I have
since been able to buy a two-ton truck,
. a seven passenger automobile, a trac,
tor and a motor cultivator."

MACHINE VS. HORSE
In the ISbenezer school recently
there was a debate on the interesting
query, stated as follows:
"Resolved, That the automobile is
of more value to man than the horse."
Follow inn: is the argument made by
one of the pupils:
"In compliance with intelligence
we must all admit that the automobile
and the horse arc of incalculable
service in many phased jo f the industries
of man. We need both; we
do without neither without iocurrijmr
and sustaining a lamentable loss,.
We are not engaged in this debate to
sustain one at the expeiyse of the
abandonment of the other. In accordance
with the progress of our age
the service of both are inevitable.
"We are to establish the \acts or
the falsity of the resolve in question.
Therefore I throw myself in the contest
to aid in the establishment of its
falsity. Speaking for the negative I
shall as it is ever mv keynote, say
that the automobile can he used to
accomplish only a few of the tasks
that a horse can do; the horse can
do any and everything an automobile
can do or be used for. A horse can
be used for tilling the soil, which is
the source of every industry in the
world. And even life depends upon
it. The horse can carry the load, endure
the heat and burden of the day;
he gallops up hill and down through
the valley with the soldier, even up
to the firing front, where an automobile
can be used only for traveling on
good roads. Now I repeat it, is not
the horse more valuable than the automobile?
The facts once and forever
establish the superiority of the
horse. Now my opponents may say
that the car travels faster. Well, I
say so too; but what else can it do?
1 say emphatically it can do nothing
else.
"Is there a farmer in this section
of the county who could cultivate his
crops without the horse? I say most
assuredly no. And my opponents
must and will say the same. They
might say that they could use a mule,
but that doesn't help matters any,
as a mule belongs to the horse family.
"Automobiles are fine when properly
used. Hut are they always used
properly and wisely? I)o all the people
demonstrate wisdom by using
cars? As you know, they do not.
They cost folks money that they
could give to the poor, the needy, the
church, the school, the state and the
rPUr??? ??? /% /I ni \?nn Lr 1 n 1 \

and cost money and thousands of lives
each year. They also encourage people
to go out seeking pleasure, which
nine times out of ten result in degradation
and ruin, when they ought to
he at home at work. They cause people
to travel on Sunday and theretore
profane the Sabbath day. They
cause people to forget the real things
of life by seeking selfish pleasure and
greediness, which casts one down.
Should we not decide now that the
faithful old horse at home on the

After Mr. Brown had raked his
yard he took the accumulated rubbish
into the street to burn. A
number of neighbors' children came
flocking about the bonfire, among
them a little girl whom Mr. Brown
ditl not remejnber having seen before.
Wishing to make the stranger feel a',
ease, he beamed upon her and said
heartily: Hello, isn't this a new
face.
A deep red suffused her freckles.
No, she stammered, it aint new. It'<
