GARDENS OF LONDON
Attempts TO Grow Plants in SIums o.
Metropolis Elicit Praise of
American Expert.

A very interesting report on Eng
ush school gardens has recently been
issued by the United States depart
ment of agricultural as bulletin 2O4.
1t was written by Miss Susan B. Sipe,
a collaboration of the bureau Of plant
industry and teacher Of botany and
nature study in one of the normal
schools in the city of Washington.
This report Is based upon invest1ga-
lions made by the author during a Eu-
rOpean trip. The local reader cannot
but wish that some of the unfortunate
children mentioned could be brought
to California, where there is at last
a small plat of earth for every child
in the state. 1t is stated regarding a
school in Whitechapel London)
where no unoccupied ground sur
rounds: Each pupil has a small
space assigned to her in the roof gar
den, boxes, scarcely more than a foot
square, but eve so, more than she has
at home"
The writer regrets that lack OF
space forbids the reproduction of
much of value and interest to be found
in this report, but advises every one

study or school gardening to get this
most valuable bulletin. When we read
Of the futile attempts to grow plants
In the London slums one marvels that
our own school gardens, where man
and nature have both ~conspired to rem
der conditions unusually favorable,
are not overrun with a riOtOus pro-
fusion of leaf and blossom. On the
window stills in the hall were some in
teresting though pathetic attempts OF
the East Side children to grow plants
at home. The children were asked to
bring pots and soil from home in which
to plant seeds and bulbs. The re-
spouse proved the scarcity of such
things in their homes. The teachers
then procured the material. Seeds
were given them and when vacation
came the plants were taken home to
be cared for. In one pot were a half
dozen varieties of weeds, the original
plant having been choked out of exis-
tence, but the ~child-owner Of the pot
though them so beautiful Stunted
and sickly merigolds and nasturtiums
gave ample proof of the blighting eff
feet of London smoke"
Notwithstanding the hard conditions
under which they labor this school
gardening is on a much broader,
grander and more comprehensive
scale than anything we attempt. No
doubt there is far greater need Of 1t.
An exhibition was held in July in one
of the Whitechapel districts and there
we're collections of wild flowers from
two country schools; paintings Of wild
flowers and nature studies by many
of the schools in London; collections
Of flowers and shrubs suitable for
growing in London parks and gar
dens; a model back yard and garden
on a reduced scale, showing what
might be lone in an ordinary London
back yard at little expense; a model
recreation ground "a feet square, con-
structed to illustrate the many health
giving opportunities which might be
introduced into public Fairgrounds
under good management and good
planning, and many other valuable
features. 1t is said the exhibit was
visited by 8 10000 people, 25 schools
sent in exhibitions, and altogether 1t
vas a great affair.

Years Of experience and careful
study have brought to light many
facts In regard to the life and habits
Of the boil weevil. By taking advan-

done to lessen the damage Of this
pest
Read carefully all available bulle-

insect and verify the statements In
these publications for yourself. Make
observations as to which fields are
most seriously damaged by the boil
weevil, and try to determine the cause
for any difference upon fields in the

Horses in Pasture.

where there is no clover. Cornstalks
or laxative food will relieve the COM

grain, consisting Of clean, we1l-saved
oats, with very little hay. and ever

SHUTTLE FACTORY RUNNING
AT FULL CAPACITY

When Price & Norris, the shuttle
factory owners, decided to establish
mill at this place they knew that
there was a great deal of dogwood in
this vicinity. At the beginning of
operations they had difficulty in OBJ
tanning timber to operate with. al
though the price being paid was
greatly in excess of any previous fig
IRE. Recently, however, the timber
has been coming in at great rate
until now the yards are completely
filed and overlooking and the saws
are kept busy converting the dogwood
into shuttles. These shuttles are
shipped to the spinners of Europe and
find ready market. There has been
found no wood that will answer for
this purpose as well as American dog
wood.

Guild, that America wished to termi-
nate the treaty had been received at
the state department.
Officials decline 20 publish the text
of the note, but admit that the con-
tents are well outlined in news dis
patches from ST. Petersburg. Hence
it is inferred that Russia made no re-
spouse to accept KnoX's invitation to
embark upon negotiations for a new
treaty.
1t may, be stated on good authority
that Russia does not intend to be
hurried in this matter, but on the 9th
er hand does not expect to conclude a
new convention before the existing
treaty expires, December 81, 1913.

TuRNIPs FORM A BIG
ASSET IN THIS SECTION.

Mr.. Brown Granthorn, who lives
near Moselle, is an enthusiastic
raiser of turnips, and so far this sea-
son, has grown a very successful
and profitable crop. He brought to
town this morning a load of turnips
that contained some specimens
weighing four pounds and splendidly
topped. Mr.. Granthorn ceased making
cotton three years ago and since that
time he has devoted his time and
attention to raising garden truck,
sweet potatoes, turnips and such
things. Besides the truck interests
he has successfully raised poultry,
which has found ready sale and left
him neat profit. The large turnips
mentioned are of the Purple Top var.
iety, very attractive and extremely
appetizing.

The legislature convenes on the
End day of January, but there will be
an influx of lawmakers several days
prior to that date, and there prom

the various elective offices.
Other candidates for the speaker
ship who have been more or less
prominently mentioned are Coy
Rencher, of Kemper, and S. Joe
Owen, of Union. While each has a
good following, it is claimed in be-

elected on the first ballot in event
his opponents do not withdraw be-

The fight for president pro tenn

manner completely destroyed the
house and contents of George Drey-
fus, a negro drayman, at $3.50 this
morning. The building is located at
Atlanta and Eighth streets, and owing
to the great distance the fire
men were compelled to lay the hose,
the fire was beyond control before
water could be thrown on the flames.
The connection had to be- made on
