DIVERSITY CROPS

Washington, D. C. Dec. 2l- Daughters of Southern farmers, who have been members of the United States Depastmet of Agri- cultures garden and canning clubs have been able to give their fathers practi al demonstrations of the value of crop diyersificat- 50n during the present bad cotton year. The actual products which the girls have put up are proving an invaluable asset Tn many farm homes W ere the cotton crop has not brought the customary return and many farmers are now sub- stituting whole acres of onions and tomatoes in place of cotton after seeing the success which the young women have made with these crops.
 A conference of the women agents from 15 southern states 7sin progress in the United States Department of Agriculture's Office of Farmers, Cooperative Demonstration work in the South Fifteen women agents are present each representing a State in add ition to the members of the office who have charge of the work These agents supervise the work of 369 county agents who direct he work of 33, 450 girls.
 Data of some of the state reports given here is merely an indicat- ion of the general interest that is being taken more and more throughout the whole South in he club-movement work.
 Tennessee Girl DiverSifes Crops
 3adge Farrar has proved the possibilities of growing crops all tha year round in her State By raising and selling vegetables throughout the year she made a aet profit of $l3l 6, while the second best -,.. who also did good work t,u did not diversity made $96 20 profit. The girl with the secoGd average grew only beans and tomatoes during &he fall and summer. Miss Far rar however, having grown the crops put in onions during the winter which she sold at a good DrOfit early in FebrAray. She then proceeded to plant cabbage sTtich brought her an income turing April aud May, while peas were her main crop in June. This brought her back to the to- vnato ands bean season and roun ded out year of profitable veg ,atable growing.
 Another yonng woman found peach orchard into which hogs had been turned. She took her .sanrer with her and established herself in the orchard to save what was left from the hogs. and made $60 in one week from her ,eork. Similar instances have demonstrated the possibilities of saving waste in that section and heae has been a more general interest exhibited not only by rhe farmers daughters but by many of their wives.

JuC IidJ O1lby Oi U w hACI N7 IfAI o A~ " can a few for home use, and per nit the rest to go to waste, except in localities where commercial canners are prepared to buy the fruit from pay to day as it ripsns. i During the past year two coun- ties of Southern Mississippi decid- ed to specialize in canning figs. l One girl canded 800 pints which she sold for them 35c to 4Oc a pint. The girls in these sections are now leaving tomatoe for other less fortunate districts where figs will not grow anl are planting six fig trees on their tente-acre formerly planted to the other crop. The demand for this pro- duet from figIess sections is far beyond nhe supply.
 Four years ago there but two c ountries in M. ssissippi where organized garden and club work waa carried on for the girls; the next year there were twelve countries; the neXttwenty-three, and during the past year thers t hirty-five countries organized.
 Pimentoes have proved par ticuIar boon to certain countries in South Carolina as have figs in Mississippi. Certain clups which had been specializing on tomatoes decided that there was possidIi- ties in pimentoes, which are not so generally grown and which are canned in practically no other parts of this eauntry, the main canueb product nere being i'm orted from Spain and Mexico. Since the product of these yoEug women has been put on the mar ket, requests have come from 45 States for information regarding the canning and culture of this valuable food product which the American people in general do not yet understand.
 The total profit in all the South Carolina club girls for the past year was over BPS, 900. Every agent who assists the girls is a college graduate who has re- ceived special domestic-science training. Home demonstration work IS feature, the motto be- ing Do one thing at a time. " There was, for instance. a home made fire-lesS-cooker campaign which lasted for three dsys in on section and resulted in hun dred homemade cookers being put into use. A fly-trap campaign is to be next in order, and after that a butter-making cambaign.
 The Value of a Name in
 South Caroli a.
 Two sisters in North Carolina have established such a reputat- ion for their canned fruits and vegetables that they cannot fill the demand. The rules of the agent in charge of the North Carolina work make it necessary that the name and address of every club member go on every can she puts on the market Give me a can of Mabel Norris tomatoes, or Give me a can of Agness Norris peaches, v request the housewife of the grocer in the sectioL where these two sis, ters sell their products. These young women no longer but up their product in glass, but tins, their uame on the outside being guarantees for the of the product.
 The North Carolina girls are being taught to be business wom- en as well as to put up superior products. The State Laeders, when they first interested the girls in the work, attempted to find markets for them, and each girl is taught to get out among the housewives and dealers of their neighbOrhOOd. and make

The effect OF worry upon the In
ternal glands has not been fully
studied. Enough Is known, however,
to assure the physician that 1t affects
the secretions of these glands very
seriously through the sympathetic
nerves. It thus becomes an important
in producing exophthalmic goiter
and a train of other ills that can only
be defined when the real functions
of the glands in question are more
adequately studied.

INTERESTED IN THE CORNER.

Dear Editor and All Social Corner Friends: With best wishes to the Ed itor and the many friends have made in The Corner, I extend a cordial greeting on this our fifth anniversary. Hope to see a full representation of all the members today, both old and new. Surely we ought to thank The Bulletin company for the many kind deeds they have done for us in the past five years. It is a pleasure for me to send in few lines of thanks, if noth- ing more.
 I am much interested in The Corner and read all the letters every week. Have found some old friends and sev- era1 new ones. Long may the Editor and Social Corner live and prosper,
 Many thanks to all who sent me let ters and cards while was sick. They were gladly received and much appre- ciated. -.-- rs
 Maine Lover and Aunt Mehitable: Hope you are much improved and will be able to be out soon. Interested Reader: It is rather late, but I want to thank you for the very pretty calendar. It was very kind of you to remember me.

SALUTATIONS FROM THE MERRY
 FARMER BOY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: It has been a long time since I have written The Corner, but although absent have read with much interest the different letters. One of the sisters spoke not long ago about having a So- cial Corner Recipe Book. I think it would be fine. as the recipes are all such good ones. I have quite a large box nearly full of clippings from The Corner now.
 : Samantha: Your story was fine. Did you ever read Helen's Babies? It is full of youngsters pranke.
 Hetty Marie: I know where you live now, and hope you are we'll.
 M. Roena: I think your bungalow is very pretty and cosy. You must enjoy it so much.
 Chore Gdrl: Do you attend the model school? I think I know who you are.
 Peggy Anne: Yes, I enjoyed the dance. Did you? I was past your place Tuesday, March 2d, but didn't see you, although I think I saw Wee Peggy. If had been. more acquainted would have called, as I was just driv- ing about to pass away the time.

THE coRNER's FIFTH ANNiVER-
 SARY.

When the Social Corner was four years old it had it's first birthday party and today it rounds out it's fifth year with a fair prospect of some day eel ebrating its 25th.
 The interest in The Corner is best indicated by the half-hundred new pen names added to the list during 1914, and the multiplication of inter esting themes discussed by the writ CTS.
 The formation of Social Corner Club No. 1, evidences strengthening social ties and widening of the good work by union and cooperation; and there is no doubt the get-together spirit will result in the gathering of the few where the organization of an off1cered dignified society is not possible.
 It became necessary. in order to let as many contributors be heard as pos sible in this edition to reduce the length of most of the letters hence we hope the work of abbreviation by the editor will be excused.
 It should be borne in mind there are only 21 lines in the 23rd Psalm; yet HotAIHS III dHc!eHl UT Hlouern Hterd- ture has comforted and blessed SC many souls, or is so often repeated by man.
 The Bulletin managers have been very much gratifed by the live inter est all the writers have taken and her eby expresses its hearty thanks to every one who has contributed to the interest of and success of the depart ment,

WHERE MILK WHITE BIRCHES
 GREW.

[ was born in old New England, In the wooden nutmeg state, In the country, where at breakfast Each had upon his plate A smoking yellow Johnny cake, With other good things, too. In a valley near the Quinebaug, Where the milk white birches grew. The messy stone walls covered OCT With brier and creeping vine, Where the juicy huckleberr1eS grew So shiny, black and fine, The odor of the sweet fern I we'll remember, too, It always seemed so plenty Where the milk white birches grew
 The sweet pond lilies grew upon The margin of the streams, Near messy hooks so shady Oft I see them in my dreams;- The red schooIhouse, the grapevine
 swing, The oxen with their load, And the milk white birches growing Beside the country read. I dwell upon Lake Fries shore, The scenery is sublime, With beauty spots that would no doubt Inspire the poets rhyme. The country's nice and level, Yet 'twuld fill me with delight, To see,a stony hillside Covered OCT with birches white.

sAMANTHA's BOYS rRuE.ro LIFE

Dear Social Corner Friends: The fifth birthday of OUT beloved Corner has come. I think my first letter was in the winter of 1912. I was a stranger to all then, but since have met four members and have received cards and letters from several more. have en- Joyed every number of The Corner since I became writer to it.. Twas surprised at one time to find had two cousins and near neighbor among the Sisters, but they have dropped out or changed their names.
 think Samantha's story last Satur- day must have been a true history, for she described the antics of my two boys in a faithful manner, and I can pity her and Josiah, but I have to keep mine. But then, they are awful cunning when they are asleep.
 l think the place for children is at home unless the mother goes to take care of them. and I think Josiah did just right to send them to their mother. I don't think other people want to take care of my children for me to rest unless I am sick. am sorry about Samantha's bonnet. That story is going into my scrapbook.

GOOD WISHES FROM CRIMSON
 RAMBLER.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I wish to express my hearty greetings to all and congratulations to The Bulletin for it's great success in our behalf. I have often heard the compliment paid to The Corner that the interest and fascination for this page claim the first attention of all most all the readers: they always tell about turning first to the Social Cor ner page.
 I think the sisters all agree with me when they stop and consider how many helpful hints, useful recipes and pleasant chats we all enjoy through it's colmuns.
 It is with much pleasure we can recall our party at Lake Waugum- baug on June 27, 1914, a lovely time enjoyed by all present.
 Again at the beautiful home of Aunty No. 1 on July 21, 1914 in Frank lin, right royalty entertained by her and her kind helpers.
 Then again at the spacious home of Aunt Abby on August 19, 1914, where all gave a vote of thanks to her and hers, and three rousing cheers for
 Let the good work go on and let full recipes and bright, friendly letters, to make the page in the future even better. than in the past.
 So wishing the Social Corner much luc' and prosperity in it's sixth year, and thanking all the writers for the many favors conferred on us in the past, I will now close by giving three rousing cheers for all concerned! CRIMSON RAMBLER. -

BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

If you've a gray haired mother
 In the old, home far away, Sit down and write the letter You put off day by day Don't wait until her tired steps
 Reach Heavens pearly gate, But show her that you think oT her
 Before it Is too late. If you've a tender message
 Or a loving word to say, Don't wait till you forget 1t,
 But whispher it to-day. Who knows what bitter memories
 May haunt you if you wait! So make your loved one happy
 Before it is too late. We live but in the present,
 The future is unknown; Tomorrow is a mystery,
 To-day is all our own. The chance that fortune lends to us ' May vanish while we wait, So spend your 1ife's rich treasure 2 Before 1t is too late. The tender words unspoken,
 The letters never sent, The long forgotten messages,
 The wealth of love unSpent,- For these some hearts are breaking,
 For these some loved ones wait; So show them that you care for then
 Before it is too late.

BELONGS TO THE ANTI WASTE
 LEAGUE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: It has been quite a long time since I have contributed anything to the Social Corner, finding 1t much easier and more enjoyable so read what others had written than to write my self.
 Last Saturday The Dictagraph stir red me up quite a little and in conse- quence I send this letter as a contri- button to the fifth anniversary of the Social Corner.
 I belong to the Anti-Waste league. 1 must have joined 1t years ago, for have been practicing it's teachings a long, long time. Why hasn't the Dicta- graph spoken before? am so glad he said just what he did. I have been thinking of many things right along his line and yet never thought of writ ins The Corner about them.
 I had a mother who taught her chil- Sdren to utilize everything possible and waste nothing.
 Who doesn't enjoy a nice cheese souff1e made from the crusts and little dry pieces of bread and few crumbs of cheese? Here Is my recipe for mak- ing it:
 Cheese Souffie-Take an ordinary sized pudding dish, break the bread into little bits, cover bottom of dish thickly with the bread, put on few bits of butter, crumbs of cheese, few or many, as you like, fill your dish in this way. Beat one egg in about pint or milk, a. little salt, pour over bread and bake in moderate oven half or three quarters of an hour This Is one way to make a nice supper dish out of wha: imagine some people might throH away.
 We always keep a jar of rolled treaG crumbs on hand for frying fish and fC. similar purposes.
 We never waste anything along thes' lines, especially when flour is so yer, high in price.
