"There is no place that 1 more ol ? garden spot than the South" Mated the speaker, '"and there is no plaet where the garden is given less attention*" Mr. Thompson went on to tell of the importance of the garden in the live at home" policy which should be pursued by every person, who has a snn.ll plot of land where he can raise vegetal-ten tor his own family. Hul letin Nu. I 17 on 'Home Vegetable gjUfdi n in th* South" he recommended as giving valuable information for per? sons wishing to have a vegetable gar? den.

Mr. Thompson answered a number of .questions and gave some valuable In? formation concerning the importance of the garden and how various vege? tables could be successfully grown. In reference to the sweet potato he stated that it could never be sold suc? cessfully in the north and west until the st 1.1 hern farmers learned to grade them and to take care in handling them no ns not to brutes them. They . must be shipped In barrels or hamp? ers and could not otherwiso be sold successfully. "Sell on the home mar? ket hrst," he advised, before "you ship to foreign markets." He stated that pamphlets could be obtained gronYtn?e>4^c|strtmeat. of, agriculture^ mnrnet and feeding purposes the' r Nanut was probably as good a crop . I any other. It was excellent for lfiec,lnV*MgVaml ottfcY 'animal* v^txJpjqA p( tftw D.vs^es!,. ,At..t,n9lsa.mt' time peanuts could he grown after oats, in eorn row middles and otVier places where the land would not be . otherwise used and the crop was au j exceedingly cheap one, as little fer-. tilizer and Work was needed. Ho es kally emphasized the value of planting some of the land formerly . glveg to cotton at leant one or two acres on every farm, to peanuts. He j advised the?planting of the Virginia* i inch or the Little Spanish varieties, which did especially well in this sec? tion. At the conclusion of Prof. Thomp? son's talk. Prof. W, H. Barton of Clemson College made a short talk on subjects of especial importance. He stressed the necessity of having hu? mus in the soil and emphasized the value to the farmer and consumer o.' getting closed together to eliminate the middle man. In this connection he paid a tribute to the Chamber of Commerce, saying that nowhere else had he found any other organisation which had realised Ibii fact moro or which had done more to bring the . irmer and tbe dtlsen of the town Into closed relationship to each other, ami show in i: 11?? i i mutual dependeno* Ofl CSV h other.
