(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.1
To meet the demands of thousands
of southern girls who have been sue
cessful ir raising 'tenth-acre Of to-.
matoes. and, who want to Ego on" the
representatives of the department and
the state colleges in charge of the can
ming clubs in the Is southern states
have worked out what might be called
progressive, four-year practical gar,
den and canning course for girls. The.
purpose Of this course is to start the.
girls with one crop and from year to
year add new annual crops, encourage
them to run winter and glass-frame
gardens, and. finally. in the course Of
their work to lead them to plant peren-
nial small and orchard fruits. It is
hoped that under this system the girls
will gain knowledge of how to handle
a wide variety of garden vegetables
and trees. and that the member, by
the time she gets ready to go to high
school or college. will have a garden
OF perennial fruits that readily can be
cared for by other members Of Her
family.

charge that every girl shan1d first
master this plant and learn how to
utilize or sell Its products before, she
takes up other vegetables and fruits.
In sections where tomatoes suffer from
blight and wilt, however. 1t is come
times necessary to substitute another
garden CROP.
The Hsecond-year girls continue to
grow tomatoes on one-haR OF their
garden space and devote the other
half Of the space to one other crop.
preferably beans, peas. peppers. okra,
beets or onions The girls also are
encouraged to start winter gardens in
the late summer and fall on one-fourth
to one-half of the tenth-acre plots. Let
tuce, spinach and kale are the crops
recommended.
The first year Of girls club work
crops, continuing the two that have
been grown the second year and add
ing cucumbers. eggplant, fig toma-
toes. satisfy, parsnips, or horseradish.

ANNOUNCING OUR GREATEST
SPECIAL EDITION.

The Hustler this week begins
preparation for its 1915 Resort
and Good Roads EditiOn-tO be
the greatest that has ever come
from its presses.
An expert special clifton man
has been SecCred to assist i'm its
production and is now ON the
ground, mapping out the cam
paign.
The size of the product will be
materially changed. Instead of
large, loose sheets, the pages
will be the size of the Saturday
Evening Post and stapIed tOgeth-
er. thus making it easier to han
die and enhancing it's value as a
souvenir and as an encyclopedia
of the climatic, scenic, hygienic,
commercial, Industrial, educa-
tiOnal and agricultural resources
of HenderSOnville and Henderson
cOunty-the resort paradise of
the Southern Appalachian High
lands.

pOrtunities of this section will
be stressed and the value of the
edition to capitalists and pros
pectiye investors will at least
equal its value to tourists and
pleasure seekers.
We expect to print from 5000
to 5000 copies, depending upon
the support given by our local
live wires. and to mail enough
copies locally to "COVer Hender-
son like the dew" also to send
seVer1l thousand copies to a.
select list of Southern "wOrth-
whiIes," not forgetting the North
and West.
This edition should be worth
100000 to our town and county.

plated.

In each case those in charge Of the
work select the additional vegetables
with reference to local agricul-
conditions, market demand and suit
ability for canning. Many garden COM
binations other than those suggested
are possible, For instance, if the COM
munity is interested in canning soup
mixtures and creole sauce, they must
secure from their gardens tomatoes,
peppers, okra and onions. In fruit
growing sections the girls are advised,
when conditions are right, to substi-
fute from five to ten fruit trees for
one of the vegetable crops. The mem
her then becomes responsible for the
pfuning. spraying. and general care of
these trees.
81. The development of crops of peren-
inial vegetables and fruits is insisted
-on at the end of the third year, and in
many cases the work is begun at the
end of the second year. The peren-
malls are substituted for some of the
annual vegetables. and the girls are
given credit for the condition of their
bushes or trees which are not yet
bearing and therefore do not yield a
product that can be counted in the
Gaming score.
q 1E Is hoped that as result Ct this
planting of perennial fruits and vege-
tables several thousands of the girls.
before many years, will have at the
end Of their Junior garden, permanent
gardens containing some such profit
able combinations as the following:
Strawberries, asparagus and cher
ries.
Raspberr:es, rhubarb and plums.
/, Goosaberries, .currants and peaches.
Strawberries, asparagus and ounces.
Strawberries, r1iubarb and pears.
Dewberries, rhubarb and pears.
Dewberries, figs and pecans.
Currants, asparagus and grapes.
Blackberries. figs and scuppernOngs.
Strawberries. figs and oranges.
Asparagus, strawberries and kum-
quats.
To enable them to use the products
Of these permanent gardens, the
agents give the girls special instruc-
tion in making preserves, jelly, mar
malades. pickles, etc.

LECTURE ON BIRDS.

Mr..C. M. Parker. state Secretary of
the Audubon Society delivered a lee
ture Friday evening in the school au-
6ltorium. The lecture was beautifully
illustrated with lantern slides show
ing pictures of nearly all Americans
birds, their nests, and natural environ
ment.
Before and after the lecture, short
programs were given by the pupils Of
Misses Matte Stansel and Gussie Dot
son.
The speaker stated that, just as it is
our duty to properly relate ourselves
to the kingdom of Man, of Nature, and
of God, so is it the duty of the people
Of a state to properly relate them
selves to it's natural resources-to cut
the forests wisely, preserve the fer
tiIity of the soil, and conserve the wild
life. The audience was told that birds
are of economic value since they de-
stroy insects that would curtail the
yield of the corps, and that where. nest
|, ing places for birds are placed in a
Vineyard it is not necessary to spray
tie vines. The study of ornithology,
dselared the speaker, awakens oul
f1ler instinct and br0adens our SYM
pathies. The listeners were urged to
tCkrn to recognize the different kinds
OF birds by sight. to- learn their calls
and feeding and nesting habits.

MISS MILHOLLAND
SINGS IN RECITAL
Soprano. With Artistic Taste
and Graceful Manner. Heard
at AcOlian Hall.

Vida Milholland. soprano, gave a sons
recital In Aeolian Hall last night. The
programme was arranged in the long IA
m'liar way, with italian airs first, then
German and other songs Of northern
Europe. and finally songs In English.
Miss Milholland had n large and friendly
audience and offered come qualities
worthy Of consideration. Her selection
OF songs wa not always judicious. as
notably was the case with Brahms's
Der Schmied." q number calling for
power and aggressiveness far beyond her
reach. Martins "Piastir d. Amour too
was sung In a key too low for her voice.
The singer has II voice Of very light
tinibre and OF no great power. II has
been well placed and her tone produce
ton In this particular was good. The
scale has been well edualizcd and there
are no serious defects in tho emission
of high tones. hut Miss Milholiand has
II fault which brings with II unfor-
tunate results. Her voice IL so small
that abe IL continually searching for
larger tone. and hence che forces Il much
Of the time. This forcing hardens the
quality. puts n sharp edge on the voice
and makes color almos unattainable.
In style and Interpretation Miss Mil
holland has much to commend. She has
grace ~ manne intelligence and taste.
Furthermore. she showed last evening
both temperament and fancy. and N
some songs there was infectious gayety
"a well as archness. Her range Of ex-
pvessiou is limited by the character and
strength of her voice. but within Il she
does much that Is artistic and pleasing.
