a thorough knowledge of student

? Itttle plot of l.inil should be urged and
helped to use it for that purpose.
During the past winter many of oui
people, white and colored) have been
pretty close to the starvation point.
I Many families have been kept from

will not be so acute, but it is foolish
II obelieve that there wilP^ not be
I considerable poverty and distress.
Anvone who realizes that there will
; be a carry-over of some 8,000,000 bales
of cotton and that the cotton growing
areas of the world are steadily
; increasing must know thi^t cotton
i will Jbring a low price unless some
absolute!" unl'orscen and improbable
factor enters in. Neither is there
any good reason to expect a high
price for tobacco.

Among these the Vegetable garden
holds a prominent place.
In a recent editorial in one of our
i papers it was stated that on the bas";
in one of our counties estimated thai

" i nearly two-thirds of the money they

1 It has been brought to my attention
t that in some cases the landowner
t will not allow the tenants to plant a
garden-?Hiich stupidity and seltish*
ness seem almost unbelievable. The
1 only explanation is that the owner
f stipulates that rent shall be paid in
