Our Greatest Need.

It seems to the writer that what
the farmers Of I'll America need
most to learr Is :. far greater regard,
love and RI pest for the soil. They
should know that, at this stage of
our coun rs development, nothing
is of a. much importance as soil I'M
provement, not, alone the mainte-
nance of soil fertility, but actual
soil improvement, the steady better
ment of soil conditions to meet the
needs of our increasing consuming
population, their increasing needs
and those of our producers as civil
lization progresses. AS the world
grows older more wants will arise
that must be provided for. This will
call for greater production from the
same labor expended and greater
profit must come to the producers
in payment for the greater amount
of ability required of him, for the
laborer il worthy of his hire. y

LAND OF GARDENS.
The Farmer Should Have Some
thing From His Garden or
Orchard Every Day
in the Year.

We Lave so many times in the
last two or three years urged our
readers to have good garden, to
make it an an-the-year-round gar
den, to grow small fruits, to have
at least small orchard, that we.
feel as if anything we can say on
the subject must be largely repeti-
tion. This shall not prevent u.s..
however, from saying it again: If,
you do not grow a supply of fruits
and vegetables on your farm 80 that
you need never go to the table with
out finding some food from garden
or orchard, you are not living up to-
the opportunities which your farm
offers you. We might add that if
you have these fruits and vegetables
and do not eat some of them every
day, you are wonderfully unapprec-
iative of the blessings of a kind
Providence.
|. 1t is so easy to have these things,
they are worth so much, from the
standpoint of dollars and cents and
from that of health, they add so
much tothe joy ofliving,that we can
not understand how any farmer can
be content to do without them.
Most farms have some fruit trees
on them, and on most farms there is
some pretense at gardenmaking; but
in the great majority of cases both
orchard ard garden have been re-
garded as small affairs and given
little attention. 1t is only in re-.
cent years that most southern farm
ers have come to realize that it pays
to plant fruit trees each year, and
that when they have been planted
il is absolutely necessary. if fruit is
to be had from them, to care for
them-to, cultivate, fertilize, prune.
and spray. Farmers generally are
just beginning to realize, too, that
grapes and berries and all the long
list of small fruits they can grow

thing to be ashamed of, is a very
new thing. The trucking and mark
ct gardening industry, while it has
been a great thing in some sections,
is as yet poorly developed in most
of the South, although the demand
for frst.class fruits and vegetables
is almost everywhere unsatisfed:
With this new understanding of
the possibilities of home gardening
in adding to the pleasures of home
life, and of the profits of market
gardening, the South is bound to
become a land noted for its gardens
just as it is now notorious for its
lack of them. The time has come
to substitute real gardens,-fertile
tracts, we'll enclosed, well cared for,
providing something good to eat
every day in the year,-for the sum-
mer patch of beans and roasting
ears and the winter patch of collards
or turnips. Progressive Farmer.

hustling Westerners. He was much
attracted by the opportunities of
growing lettuce and other truck"
but he was a cotton farmer and is
still hesitating. How many Others
are still hesitating, while resource
full, shrewd people from other Sec
tions are going into it and making
fortunes. The situation reminds me
of hunting picture. One man had
crossed a branch and was shooting
birds on the other side hundred
yards away. The other man with
his dog was looking for good
place to cross. The dog was whin-
ing and would almost get down into
the water, then he would pull up
and run back and forth on the bank.
Finally the man started off and ran
up stream several hundred yards till
he found jam of logs to cross on.
The frsS man had had no such
trouble. When his dog had pointed
on the other side he had waded the
stream, which was but shallow
stream after all.

LETTUCE CULTURE.
Rev. Mr.. Shannonhouse Tells
How to Have This, Delicious
Vegetable During the
Winter Months.

The following timely and very
interesting article on the growing
of lettuce was written by Rev. R
G.. Shannonh house, rector of the
Episcopal church and published in
Mondays News and Courier:
At this season of the year, as ]
I mentioned in a former article, there
are thousands of well-to-do people
in South Carolina who have nc
fresh vegetables to eat, except col,
lards, unless Of course, they buy
them at the stores. And yet they
long for something green" and
refreshing, more refreshing than
collards and hog jowl.
One of the green things that they
might be eating from their OWL
garden this month, indeed, every
month from October until May, is
lettuce. 1t is pre-eminently a win
ter vegetable, which will grow ont
side through the worst kind OF
weather. a neighbor says that he
used it from his own garden all
through last winter without any
protection whatever. In my own
garden there is a considerable plot Of
it unprotected, which was sown last
October and November, and looks
very healthy and green now, after
surviving very hard freezes. But
it has not grown to any consider.
able size and shows no signs OF
heading yet. So I am more than
ever of the notion that, while it may
head yet in warm weather, it would
have headed long ago in a cold
frame, or under canvas or cloth
over. A little farther south, or in
The low country, it may head in the
open from this time on without hav.
ing been sheltered at all, but the
uplander can hardly make it.
