Asked Dr. Barnes if he had anything good to tell home gardeners, gaid he had, and he told me about the Southland tomato. This new tomato was produc ed by the U. S.

So for this tomato is suitable for home gardens only, as it has a rather prominent bloom scar. This doesn’t hurt it for home use, but does for com mercial purposes. It is also tolerant to late blight and other leaf spotless diseases, accord- int to Dr. Barnes. Seeds men have it for the first time this year. The station has no seed for distribution. And about that root knot— was there no remedy for that, I asked him. He said there was. Soil treatment on a small scale for a garden was entirely practical and effective. Cqun- ty Agent Alford told me that same day that he had so treat ed part of his garden against, root knot. And that was t'j\’ only part he made anything on last year. Seed stores have the material for thus treating soil and directions come on the can. Prosperity News ST. LUKES lay, ary 17, 1949, from 9 uAtil 12.

Auditor Newberry County The New Year meeting of the Dogwood Garden Club was held last Monday afternoon with Mrs. Joe Spotts. Mrs. H. L. Newman shared the pleas ures of the meeting with the membefs. New Year symbols, snow scenes and snow men ■ were used as decorations. Miniature snow men were given as fa vors. Mrs. W!. E. Hancock, vice president, opened the meeting with “A Prayer for th e New Year.” Mrs. H. L. Sheaiy, pro gram leader, chose for her sub ject, “Corsages and Corsage Making from Your Own Gar den.” She displayed corsage materials and a lovely corsage of African violets to explain her subject more effectively.

Eight Bedenbaugh. of those clubs have adopted club projects in addition to the individual ones of the mem bers. They consist of beautifi cation of schoolgrounds, plant ing of a flower bed on the campus, and developing small parks near the schools. The finest patch of collards I ever saw was growing in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Westbury near Grover down in Dorchester, when I was there the other day. They sell in the home demonstration club market at St. George. But the largest of those fine heading collards wer e truly hotel size. It would take a small washpot to cook one in and a multitude of folks to eat it. Floods had fallen there dur ing the ‘ previous days. Even the well was full of water. You could easily reach it with a dipper. I have spoken before of the beautiful Edisto River. The other day I saw it in flood, and it was beautiful then too. Always clear, it still was. It must come from the Sand hills entirely. For I have nev er seen it even murky. It was dark, fast moving, silent water, and abouds with fish. Swamps keep the beaten paths back at many places, and in its deep est recesses it still harbors the alligator. A few years ago I saw ads in papers for their hides, and many were slaugh tered, I am told.
