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!

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.
