G. /ins National Calf Contest] iillilpf, rnmm « PELZER, Jan. 2.—“In order to have $500.00 extra this year we turned to gardening,” said Mrs. JU Talmadge Darby, an Anderson county farm woman, reporting her garden contest activities for 1931 to ,A. E. Schilletter, extension horti culturist; “and the net result in money value was over $500.00 to Jl=1 say nothing of a better balanced, 33 ^healthier diet for a family of four.” I says Mr. Schilletter. This remark able result from an ‘ acre of good land given close intelligent atten tion! Selecting an acre of fertile well drained soil, further enriched with plenty of compost and commercial fertilizer and well prepared, the Darbys began planting in early February and continued at ten-day intervals through the year, guided by the Extension Service garden letters. The result in Mrs. Darby’s own words was “an abundance of vegetables to eat, sell, can, and divide with neighbors. . . and we and our neighbors have been healthier and happier.” Sales of 15 garden products total ed $470.80 during the year, lima beans, snap beans, turnip greens, tomatoes, potatoes, and peas being the chief revenue producers. Pro ducts canned, 335 pints, were val ued at $40.00; servings to family of four, $50.00; stored, $30.00; un gathered at time of report, $50,00; gifts to neighbors, $10.00. These totaled $620.80, to which Mrs. Dar by adds $50.00 for “doctor bill sav ed,” making a grand total of $670.- 80 to be credited to that one-acre garden. Expenses in full ran to $87.45, the largest items being seed and fert ilizer and exxpenses of car for de livery. Simple subtraction leaves a net return of $583.35; or if you are skeptical of that $50.00 snatch ed from the doctor, you still have $533.35 to cover general overhead and pay the Darbys for their gard en labor. That gardening was not all the Darbys did is shown in the list of farm products reported—six bales of cotton on*six acres, 300 bushels of sweet potatoes, 200 bushels of oats, 150 bushels of corn, 50 bushels of peas, 50 bushels of cane seed, 115 gallons of syrup, and $100 worth of strawberries. Fine enough! But O Boy, that garden! iXt Children will enjoy their meals and take more interest in eating 'what they are given if they have their own set of dishes and table implements. The knife, fork, and spoon should be easy to grasp and use, the tumbler for water should fit small hands, and the pitcher for milk should be sturdy, easy to pour from, and not too heavy to hold. Very young children soon learn to feed themselves without mishaps if given the right articles to handle. At first it may her necessary to guard the floor and furniture against spilling, but af ter a few accidents the child will be piite independent. A straight line is always the shortest route between two points, and a detour is the roughest dist ance between two points.
