and minstrels, everybody is busy;
the game of marbles is not play
ed any more, and the mourners’
bench in front of Mr. Watkins’
store looks almost deserted.
There is still no depression in the
auto business, according to a state
ment made public by the Southern
Automotive Journal of Atlanta.
Last month witnessed an increase in
the number of registration automo

number of cars one sees on the
highways, this must be correct.
COLORED PEOPLE’S 4-H CLUB
NEWS
The gardens of adults and Juniors
are growing off nicely, if a great
many were started late. Some have
plenty vegetables already for home
use, and are selling to others. Let
me warn you, both girls and women,
to eat all the vegetables needed, and
can all you can. You will need
them when vegetables are scarce
and the prices high.
On making my garden inspection,
I found one of my 10 year old club
boys with a garden. I counted seven
different varieties of vegetables in
it, besides flowers. I asked why he
had a garden. He replied, “You
said all 4-H Club members had to
have a garden to be called a club
member. I am one, so I planted a
garden.” I advised him to sell what
he raised on his garden, and I would
buy from him if he would save the
proceeds to help buy his books for
the next school term. Now, boys, if
you can’t plant an acre of corn,
plant something, if only a garden.
Have something you can call your
own.
* * #
Now, 4-H Club boys and girls,
schools are all closed. Let us begin
to prepare for our short course, and
put forth every effort to build us a
club house in Jackson county. Be
the power behind the throne, and
I’ll assure you that we will build it.
I need your "help to put the project
over. Don’t think we can’t, and
you want just say we can, and we
will.
* * *
To all who are in the year-round
garden contest, the first inspection
of your gardens will be made soon
by the judges. ..Please keep your
records of plantings, and the vege
tables gathered, and the number fed
from your gardens at each meal, the
amount sold, and canned. To win a
prize, you must keep a record.
