Winner of 6th place in the 1936 Home Demonstration Better Garden contest for central district is Mrs. Howell Collins, of Hilda, who receives a donation of $5.00 from Chilean Ni trate Educational Bureau, Inc. Mrs. Collins plants a variety of vegetables and is teaching her family to eat them. One member who dis liked greens of all kinds and refused to eat them, now is reported as liking them. This year Mrs. Collins planted lettuce and radishes for the first time. From her year-old garden she is able to serve two vegetables besides pota toes at least once a day. If these vegetables are not gathered fresh daily she goes into the pantry where she finds a variety of home canned products from which she makes a se lection for a well balanced meal. “The general health of my family is better,” says Mrs. Collins, “because of a supply of fresh vegetables.” Besides supplying the table with vegetables the garden also furnshes a surplus for market. Mrs. Collins is a regular member of the Market Club and her sales of farm products for 1936 amounted to $75.59. No money has to go for vegetables in the Col lins family. It is spent w r ith the local merchants for sugar, coffee, house hold articles and clothing. - As her gardening guide Mrs. Col lins uses the Extension Horticulturist monthly letters which give informa tion on suitable varieties of vegetables to plant, when to plant them and in structions on cultivation. The garden project on the Collins farm is a joint one between husband and wife. When the garden needb working it gets worked; when vegeta bles are ready for tne can or market, they reach their destination. Coopera tion between members of the family brings results.

Powell, Hugh Quattlebaum, S. Quattlebaum, J. Shipes, Zelma Hightower, A. V. Collum, Jr., Clytte Washington, Jan. 27.—A Southern legislator demanded new crop control legislation today when the house agri culture committee began a hearing on a proposed $500,000,000 loan fund to help tenants buy farms. Representative Fulmer, (Democrat) of South Carolina, who fathered the invalidated AAA, said he had asked the department of agriculture to dtaft a new control bill. It would contain, he said, “the best features of the old AAA.” At the initial hearing on the Bank- head-Jones tenancy bill several com mittee members urged that agricul ture should be placed on a “stable basis.” Producers should be guaran teed “parity prices” with industry, before long-time, low-interest loans were made available to tenants, they held. This statement was based on the ground that as farmers are struggling to continue to own their farm lands, and in that 40,000 land owners are losing their farms annually and going into tenant farming, certainly, any amount that is placed in a farm ten ant bill at this time would be just that much money wasted. A New England Republican—Rep. resentative Tobey, of New Hampshire, suggested the tenancy bill would be “love’s labor lost f we don’t do some thing to guarantee farmers a price on which they could live and meet their obligations.” Fulmer asked: “How can we expect tenant farm ers and sharecroppers to pay for farms when many of the best farm ers in the South are having trouble keeping from losing their land?” The existing soil conservation Act and the new AAA would not keep ag ricultural production ^n line w<th demand, he said. He asserted the South was faced with the prospect of a cotton crop this year that would drop the price to seven cents a pound. Chairman Jones (Democrat) of Texas, said, however, the committee had no plans now for a new crop con trol bill. ST. MATTHEWS DEFEATS BARNWELL BASKETEERS The Barnwell High School basket ball teams dropped a doubleheader to the St. Matthews teams here on Fri day afternoon when the invading lass ies took a 27 to 11 victory from the local girls, and the visiting boys snow ed the local boys under with a 30 to 2 count. In the opening tilt the girls were defeated by the stellar play of Zim merman, visiting forward, who made some brilliant shots for goals. The boys were completely overshadowed by the play of the visiting center, a six footer, who scored 24 of his team’s 30 points. Barnwell’s lone tally in the nightcap was scored by Patterson, local center. To date the boys have not won a single encounter while the girls have taken three while dropping two. Five demonstrations on sweet pota toes were conducted by Barnwell Coun ty farmers dluring 1936 in cooperation with H. G. Boylston, county agent, and H. A. Bowers, assistant agent. Three of these demonstrations were with Louisiana Porto Rico’s, one with native Porto Rican variety, and one with a mixture of the Louisiana and native Porto Rican variety. Accord ing to Mr. Boylston, the extremely dry weather in the summer prevented additional demonstrations. Mr. Boylston says that the sweet potito erop can be made a profitable cash crop in this county provided quality seed are used and proper methods of harvesting, grading, pack ing and storage are employed. Very few farmers in Barnwell County grew enough potatoes to sell and up until last spring the native Porto Rican and the ordinary sweet potato were the only two varieties grown. Last year, however, nine farmers obtained 19 bushels of certified Porto Rican sweet potato seed from a carload brought into South Carolina by the extension service from Louisiana for the pur pose of improving sweet potatoes grown in this State. Records of the five demonstrations show that the Louisiana Porto Rican variety gave a yield of 25 bushels more per acre of U. S. No. 1 potatoes than the native Porto Rican variety. “This difference clearly illusrates that the variety of potatoes producing medium size, uniform in shape, and smooth sweet potatoes is much better than the variety producing a large quantity of large and irregular pota toes,” Mr. Boyleston said. “Again the net profit per acre of the Louisia na Porto Rican variety potatoes was $73.68, while the net profit per acre of the native Porto Rican was $35.33, a dfference of $38.35 per acre. It can readily be seen, therefore, that it is more profitable to grow the Louisiana Porto Rican sweet potato on account of the high yield of U. S. No. 1 pota toes.” In addition to the production demon strations, a hill selection seed stock demonstration from vine cuttings of Louisiana Porto Rico was held at the farm of H. L . Blume at Blackville. The purpose of this demonstration was to stress the importance of selecting seed potatoes from hills bearing the largest number of U. S. No. 1 pota toes. According to Mr. Boylston, there will be approximately 150 bush els of seed potatoes from hill selec tion for sale for the coming season. The five farmers conducting sweet potato production demonstrations were as follows: Mrs. C. H. Mathis, B. F. Owens, J. R. Lott, M. W. Wise and H. L. Blume.

Blackville Beats Denmark. Blackville, Feb. 1.—The Blackville basketeers defeated the Denmark high school team in both games of a double-header here Friday night.

The Barnwell People-Sentinel holds that “ ‘Queenie’ is not a very Demo cratic name for the mascot of the Party—it smacks too much of royal ty.” The People-Sentinel’s concern is exagerated. The latest informotion is that there is no danger of the prolif eration of this Mississippian breed in South Carolina.—News and Courier. C. B.
