Norfolk, August 2:?The German merchant submarine Deutschland passed out the Virginia Capes at 9:30 o'clock tonight, apparently unobserved by the allied warships waiting for her, and so far as known here is now safely upon her homeward voyage. Ma imtAmawl inmMont mnrkpH t.hp departure of the giant submersible. She was accompanied only by her tug and a newspaper dispatch boat when she began an eighteen-mile dash from lower Chesapeake Bay to the Capes. After proceeding slowly most of the way down, she increased her power at 6:30 and reached the Capes just after dusk. None of the allied cruisers were visible as she passed through. Whether she submerged before reaching the three-mile limit is unknown. The two accompanying boats only know that she disappeared unharmed and that to all appearances she had a clear field ahead to a point where she could submerge in safety. In Re Winter Gardens. The recent storm and continued rains have practically destroyed the gardens of our county. As soon as the land is dry enough to plow it will be well to start fall and winter gardens. Tomato vines which are not too badly injured mav be reviv- j ed by putting one teaspoonful nitrate of soda about one foot from the plant and mixing thoroughly with the soil. As soon as possible cultivate around the plant with a hoe. Small tomato plants or limbs cut from the vine and set the latter part of July or first of August should produce a crop which will ripen before frost. The fruit that fails to ripe before frost can be kept far into the winter if wrapped in paper and laid away in a dark cool place. Plant Irish potatoes?lay off rows I two and one-half feet apart using plenty of leaf mold and well rotted compost as fertilizer. Look Out Mountain has been tested and foilnd i i. 11 to be a variety especially aciapteu for planting in mid-summer or as a second crop. These may be left in ground all winter and used as needed. (Severals dealer are advertising this variety in "The State"). Small potatoes from the spring crop may also be used. Snap Beans?Green Pod Stringless and Refugee are probably two of the best varieties for home use and for quick crops. Peas?(garden)?may be planted in late summer and when early varieties are used they will mature before frost. Beet, Radish, Squash and Spinach ?May be planted and with favorable seasons, will be ready for use before cold weather. Turnip, Kale, Onion and Salsify?Should also be planted. These j are more hardy and should be left I in crarden all or orreater Dart of cold months. A good garden helps reduce the cost of living. It produces more real profit per acre than any other portion of the farm. Our winters are mild and with a little time and effort we may have gardens which will give vegetables during the winter months a3 well as the summer months. Amanda Edwards, Co Agt Home Dem Work.

(Concluded from p*|i 4) not knowing how they shall be provided for. | Next Saturday, the 5th, the State campaign party will reach Kingstree, and since there is so little for the farm- J era to do, or that they can do, I expect to see a large crowd attending the meeting. For this reason I want you to arrange to come to that meeting, and I wish you to ask Congressmen Whaley and Lever to come with you, for there will be an opportunity for you all to get first-hand information from the best representative men from the several communities in the county relative to the situation, and if Congress does not o/?f kafnro vnn trf t back to Washington. it will certainly do so upon your return, and the deliverance of the message that our people shall send. In the meantime, weigh all of the sugfestions which are now coming to you y mail and by wire, and, using your judgment as to the best and quickest route to relief,act as seems best to you, and Williamsburg will ever feel grateful. ? It would be wrong to close this letter without thanking you for the interest and the efforts you have already shown. Yours very truly, E C Epps. Washington, D C, July 29. Hon E C Epps, Kingstree, S C. My dear Senator Epps:?I received your letter and wired you back as follows: "Not necessary to come to Washington. Writing you fully today." I have gone over the situation very carefully with the Secretary of War, and he has today transmitted a recommendation to Chairman Hay of the Military committee, a copy of which I enclose herewith. You will note that he recommends an appropriation of $540,000 for North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. He agrees with me as to the work that should be done, as you will note by his recommendation. I do not know just when I can get into your county, as I am going to speak in Dillon Monday and come i back to Washington immediately. The j committee bill will be reported put by | the Military committee Monday, as I j have been assured by Chairman Hay, and of course I cannot do anything that day, but I shall be there and ready to co-operate in tne passing 01 w>e ibw uh Wednesday, and will do everything that I possibly can to relieve our people. Unfortunately Major Youngblake, relying on the report of Mr Fitzsimmons, reported adversely on governmental aid for our country, but the Secretary's recommendation included South Carolina, and I am very glad to say that we convinced him that we had suffered to the extent that we required help. You can use Mr Hay's letter for any purpose you wish, as it is not confidential. With kindest regards and best wishes, I am, I Yours very truly, J W &AGSDALE.
