GARDENING PAYS
ALL YEAR ROUND
Renter Who Got His Start With a
Garden, Now Owns a Good
Farm

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) AN inter-
esting story of a former South Caro-
lima renter, now a Georgia land owner
and successful farmer, is told by II. u
Hastings. chairman of the Agricultu-
raj Committee and the managing d.
rector of the Georgia Corn Show.
Meeting this farmer on train the
other day, Mr.. Hastings asked him ii
he had sold any cotton yet. He laugh
ed and said:
81 have stored away my crop OF
nineteen bales, insured it and am go
ing to keep it until | get good ana
ready to turn it loose. / am in shape
to hold it three years, ii necessary,
to get what I consider a fair price.
Surprised and gratified to meet a
man who made cotton chiefly as q
surplus cash crop, Mr.. Hastings inqulr-
ed further, and this, in brief, is the
story his farmer friend told him:
Fifteen years ago l was a renter
on a South Carolina plantation. l was
carried, as thousands of others are,
by landlord and supply merchant
| Pretty soon I saw I was paying twice
as much or more for supplies than
could make them for at home.
"The very first thing l did was &c
start home garden Of only one plant
ing. Then l found that for half the
year | had no vegetables at all, excep'
canned stuff l bought at the stores
Next year turned my garden into an
all-the- year-round one, and there was
never month when l didn't have al
the vegetables I needed, raised by my
self. used the best ground ! mac
and put all the farm manure on 1t. Il
paid me handsomely, fully half or my
living.
"That is how I got my start. begaI
to make my own meat, corn, oats ane
other crops. didn't have quite a
much time to sit around the house OF
to talk politics, but l got along ant
TODAY own a good Georgia farm ant
have a bank account. The home gar
den did 1t, and will do the same thlnt
for any one who goes at it right"

Suppose they had hanged him. (He
was sentenced to hang. The Supreme
Court of this state approved of the

the same position that Illinois now
holds--that Of having hanged an inno-
