Club Girls at Winthrop. Rock Hill, S. C., June 13, 1922. Dear Editor: The State Home Demonstration Short Course is now in session with an attendance of about 400 women and girls from all parts of the state. The 200 girls have been asked to write letters to their homefolks tell ing of their impressions of Win thro p * and their experiences here. These letters have been collected and read, and the best one from girls in your county is enclosed for use in the next issue of your paper. We feel sure the people will be interested in seeing letters from their girls who have the privilege of being here. The letter sent with the above from a Williamsburg girl follows: Vflnthrop College, June 12, 1922. Dear Homefolks, We have been asked to write to you and tell you the many different things that we are doing here. i came here to learn different things about demonstration work ar.d I tell you I am learning just lots about cooking and be ing a hostess, and many other things. The first thing we do .V in the morning is to go to the cook" ing laboratory and there we have a lesson on being a hostess; next we go to the sew'ng laboratory and have a lesson on health education. At twelve o'clock we have chapel exercises, they generally have a few ladies and gentlemen to make talks. Next we have dinner and after dinner we go to the gymnasium and there we play games and we're practicing for a drill also. After we leave the gymnasium we go to the chemistry lecture room, there we judge beans, tomatoes, jam and clothing. At six o'clock we have supper, and there's always somewhere to go after supper. Friday night Dr. Johnson gave a party for the club girts. Saturday night we went to community singing and after that they had a moving picture. Sunday we didn't do anything but go to church Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon "re went - out on the campus, and it certainly is a pretty place. There arc flowers on it which are very pretty. I would advise all of the girls from Williamsburg county to come to Winthrop College. I just know you would like it. I will clos.j hoping to see every girl from around home and in my club and tell them what a nice time that I had at Winthrop. Sincerely, RUTH FERRY, Trio, Williamsburg county, S. C.

Nothing has proved more conclusively the resourcefulness of the women of South Carolina than their unprecedented initiative in the business world during the strenuous years of 1921 andl922. They have not only pursued the various old lines of work with energy and determination, but are constantly developing successfully new fields of endeavor. They are in the promotion of the flower industry of the state, appealing to the aesthetic side of our nature while going about the prosaic business of helping to make a living. The ladies of the Pauline Home Demonstration ciud can nieiu:>ci "The Dahlia Club." During the past year this club sold approximately $550 worth of flowers. Most of these were sold through the home demonstration club market in Spartanburg. This market is known as the "Square Deal Market." This total sum included the money from the sales of not only the "blossoms, but cuts, roots, etc. Quoting from a recent letter from Mrs. Ada Lancaster, one of the eight women who compose this club, she says, "Dahlias were the most popular flower, then the chrysanthemum, followed by the daffodil this spring. We would never have sold this amount -without our club market. You see it has amounted to a nice little sum for each of us, the largest sale being $140 and the smallest $10." Mrs. J. P. Harris of Lancaster county is known ?s the "flower lady," which attractive title has been acquired through her identification with the various flowers with which she is always surrounded. In a recent letter to the State Marketing agent, she described in an enthusiastic manner, her method of cultivation of sweet peas. As she cleared $300 on seven rows, fifty feet long, I-am inclined to believe that her method of cultivation is the proper one. Her total receipts for flowers during 1921 amounted to $750. Mrs. Harris has the hearty cooperation of her husband in this enterprise. She writes that he wants to experiment with sweet peas planted in the cotton fields. He proposes to let them climb the stalks and then have them turned under as a legume. Mrs. Lila Moore Stanton of McColl, has gone into the florist business on a rather large scale and is "making good" in the expressive slang of the line to Get a I I OR CLOCK! he Correct Time | 0 Barn.

She conducts this business without the help of skilled gardeners, only neighborhood ladies with an occasional man as helper. During the year 1921 she took in something over $6,100. All expenses including interest on the original investment of $10,000 are to be deducted. She is very ambitious for our state to have a Horticultural Society in order that there may be more interest in flowers as a cultivated study. She has organized five clubs, four of which are in Marlboro county and one in Dillon. The last named club is working on the beautification of the Dillon cemetery. These are merely some specific examples of what has been accomplished. They dimly forecast the everwidening influence of home demonstration work in the years to come.
