When I become a citizen of the Sandhills I propose to induce some benevolent lover of good food to give substantial prizes to the best grower of each of these things and to the best cook of each and to the person who serves each of them most daintily. We can can and glass jar these things and let none be put on the market without the approval of an expert employed by the community.

Another phase of Hoover's food regulatory activity, concerning which there was, and still continues to be, much discussion, is that of his attempt to insure a stimulated production of hogs by a stabilized price which should well reward the grower and yet not lead to such an exorbitant cost to the consumer as would have been a dangerous hardship to our own people and an unfair hold-up of our associates in the war.

Bunch often a foot long, loose, shouldered; berry below medium, round, black, juicy; without pulp, sweet and vinous. Belonging to the Herbemont family; is a strong grower; very productive, and rather tender. May be valuable in well drained soils, and southern climate, as it undoubtedly will make a fine wine.

And later on I found out from Miss Grower, who lives here, Mrs. Bledsoe's history. Eight or nine years ago her husband was sent to prison for forgery, and she was left with four small children, on the verge of a fate too terrible to mention. She was brought to Mr. Bentley's attention, and he started her in life. "And now Mrs. Garvin forms another link to that chain, which goes on growing.

Its lovely pink blossoms appear in spring before its heart-shaped leaves are developed. Very desirable. This is an elegant little tree from Japan. Its foliage is almost fern-like in its delicacy. It is a free grower, and in every respect desirable. Among our larger trees that are well adapted to use about the house, the Elm is the most graceful.

It is a rapid grower, and of the very easiest culture. It comes into bloom in July, and continues to produce great quantities of flowers, shaped like miniature Dahlias, in red, scarlet, pink, yellow, orange, and white, until frost comes. It makes a most gorgeous show. Kochia, more commonly known as "Burning Bush" or "Mexican Fire-Plant," is a charming thing all through the season.

The exception to this advice may be taken in the case of squab broilers for which some local dealers will not pay as fancy a price as may be obtained by dressing and shipping to the hotel trade. The grower of roasters and capons will probably want to market his own product.

Of course, it was only a coincidence and yet, when reason is not helping as much as it ought, one is inclined to take notice of signs and coincidences. "What is the name of the grower of this new flower?" Rawson-Clew asked. Miss Farham told him. "Snooks," he repeated thoughtfully; she imagined he was trying to remember if he had heard the name before.

The actual cash outlay in one instance was: Seed Potatoes $10.00 Commercial Fertilizer 13.00 Spraying for blight and pests 4.00 250 bu. selling at the minimum price $125.00 Less the cash outlay 27.00 Income to the grower from an acre $98.00 A production of 400 bushels costs no more cash outlay per acre, while the income is big wages to the farmer.

"Would the cotton grower ship his cotton north to the New England mills or to Liverpool if he couldn't insure it in transportation? No; he wouldn't dare take the risk. His cotton would remain on his plantation until some venturesome buyer came, paid him cash, and carried it away with him. We should go back to the commercial dark ages." "You have crushed me, Mr. Smith," Helen said with a smile.
