THE STATES LFMERIcKs
Newberry Observer Crisieises "Youns
Man" Who is Not Man.

The Newberry Observer says:
"The young man of The State, who
fills the first column on the editorial
page with bright paragraphs, has
been tackling the style Of poetry
called Timerick's' Of late. Here is
a specimen of his Mondays effort:
There was a young man from Sim
Fein land
Who was offered an ulster in Green
Land, ,
But the insult he spurned !
And to ice-blecks was turned;
Which with pride they will show you
in Greenland
"Not to speak Of the lame feet, the
association of the ideas of Green
land and the emerald isle,' which
we presume was intended, is rather
farfetched and not sufficiently obvi-
Gus to the ordinary perception to be
justified by any rules Of poetic IL
cense. And the bringing in of
Greenland at the close of two
verses in the same stanza cannot be
justified either, we think"
The "young man" who writes these
paragraphs is not a young man at
all, nor an old man either. "He" is
a woman who lives in Charleston and
who, according to those that should
know, is now the leading poet or
poetess in the South. She has been a
contributor to a number Of the lead
ing periodicals.
Some of The States paragraphs,
however, are written by men, but
neither of them is exactly young, be-
ing over fifty.

Thin, sleazy ones will go INTO holes

below the carefully reiI forced finger

rents at the base OF the fingers are
provoking things to mend. So
choose silk gloves OF excellent, heavy

YOU wash them, and anyway a loose
glove wears better than tight one in
which strained threads subjected to
friction soon wear thin. =.

cannot be dispensed with If one would

they cater TO no special vanity so 1t

But gloves do not set off pretty

"BORN ON FARM"

Milton H. Smith was another Of
the many successful Americans
whose biography begins with the
phrase, "born and reared on farm"
This was almost universal with Amer
leans of Mr.. Smiths age and olser
The proportion of rural population
was much larger when he was young
than it is now, but the fact still OBJ
tains that the farms of America pro-
duce the greater portion of the coun-
try's successful men.
This has been due, probably, in
part to the sound physical constitu-
ton that farm life gives to the young
but more to the wholesomene moral
environment and lessons of thrift
and industry that it imparts. The
farm boy develops slowly and whole
somely without the many allurements
of the city to divert his attention
from the serious purposes of life or
to confuse his differtiation between

THE SPRING GARDEN

The war garden may be no longer
necessary, but the impetus given
during war times to the raising of
vegetables had other uses besides
emergency service, and it were great
ly to be regretted if the love of
working the soil, which was thus
aroused, were allowed to weaken and
die out with the passing need. The
practical knowledge and skill &C
quired by those who turned ugly back
yards and vacant lots into fertile
food supplies, even on small scale
are too valuable to be suffered to lie
idle and rust with disuse. The
pleasure of going into ones own
fresh vegetables is one worth working
for itself, aside from other consider
ations. And one of the greatest of
these latter is the gain in health
which work in the open air brings
with it past the power Of any tonic
to bestow.
AS this is the time for beginning
gardens, a word or two may be timely
in reminding the plant and flower
loving part of the public not to go
back in the good work, but to let the
war garden continue to develop into
the peace garden, and where the love
of beauty is stronger than the de-
sire for utility, to let the flower gar.
den supersede the vegetable plot.
Gardening of any kind is an excel
lent taste to inculcate in the young,
and the school children proceed what
they could do in this line when facili-
ties were afforded them to cultivate
the soil and raise vegetables and
flowers themselves. 1t is an occupa-
ton which can work off childish
energy and restlessness with much
more profit than other ways more or
less mischievous which are bound to
suggest themselves where this energy
some years ago, ought to be urged

Not Get Rich Quick Scheme for I'm
-Provinf Poor Land Says Specialist

There is no "get rich quick"
scheme for improving poor land in
lareg areas, says J. c. McAmis, spec
ialist in agronomy, Division of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee.
Many Tennessee farmers write him
askig for information as to the quick
est method for improving poor land
and his first suggestion to them is:
"Grow clover" He, of course sug-
gests others, but this is the method
that has given satisfaction to hun
dreds of Tennessee farmers who
have tried it.
In preparing poor land for clover
Mr.. McAmis recommends the use OF
two to three tons Of finely ground
limestone, orr one ton of burned lime
to the acre. on soil that is well pre-
pared in June or July and kept free
from plain growth, both crops and
weeds until the first good rain in Au-
gust after which Red clover should
be sown at the rate of ten pounds
per acre. If the land is to be left
seeded longer than two years, grass
should be sown with the clover. II
the soil is too poor even with lime
and 200 to 800 pounds of acid phos'
phate to grow Red clover satisfactor-
ily rye may be sown with the clover
to insure a growing crop on the
land.
Another method is the use of soy
beans and cowpeas, but these crops
and to certain ertene the same thing
is true of clover, must be turned I'M
der, or fed and the manure returned
to the land. The turning under
method is quicker, but usually not as
economical as the feeding system
Of course if one could have an un.
limited supply of stable manure and
men reinforce this by using 200 ia
800 pounds of acid phosphate to the
acre. the land can be made to grow
a good crop Immediately. For pota-
toes however, the manure should be
applied the fall before they are
planted, or better to young stand
of colver which is to be turned be-
fore the potatoes are planted.

of ground, however poor the home
to which it is attached, which can
not be made to have its baroness

is bound to have its effect on home
