BEnER MARKETS
^ Association Formed By Grower
Section's
Co-operating with the Office of Mar- c
kets at Washington, Clemson College I
Is working out some practical and ef- g
flcient marketing Schemes. Some of g
the farming enterprises of South Car- >
ollna have been uncrating at a loss and
it is up to all concerned to consider f
and determine upon some plan of ac- c
tion that will solve the problems of . g
marketing the state's products. Al- t
though the marketing situation hus t

work lias nevertheless been decided u
upon and begun. One of the market- c
ing schemes now under way is that c
adopted recently by the asparagus ^
growers In the vicinity of Ridge e
Spring, Trenton, Williston. Elko and r
Blackville. \
On July 19 about twenty of the as- 11
paragus growers met in an Informal *
way at Columbia with W. W. Long,
director of extension at Clemson. The p
meeting was in the nature of a round- t
table discussion, and the growers took t
It as an opportunity to exchange their i
Ideas and experiences. It developed 1
that, with a very few exceptions, the i
growors were operating at a loss. The t
consensus was that the growers' sys- j
T ot marketing was wrong. They s
were unanimous in the belief that they t
ought to get together upon some united j
end concerted scheme of sorting, grad- {
ing. packing and selling their product. t
The growers next invited the mar- f
ket agent at Clemson College and C. 1
B. Basset of the Office of Markets and
Rural Organization, U. S. department <

The International Institute of Agriculture
is one of the incst remarkable 1
examples extant of co-operative effort *
among the nations in humanitarian '
and scientific work. Since the present (
war began its activities have proceed- 1
ed almost as in times of peace, though (
it is to be feared that the entrance of '
Italy into the conflict will prove a for- '
midable handicap, as the institute has 1
its headquarters in Home. As if to *
emphasize its superiority to the pres- *
ent political situation, ttia institute '
has published a pamphlet, doted Rome. *

description of this great international "
enterprise, and making no allusion to 1
the war. *
Kaiser Believes in Divining Rods.
The use of the divining rod by the
German armies for discovering water,
a? is reported, is probably due to the
kaiser, whose faith in the power of
the "magic hazel twi?r" is imniifit
After watching many experiments by i i
German '.'diviners,' he expressed con- 1 (
viction of the utility or the practice
for the discovery not only of water ! ?
but of metals. Some years ago he i ]
sent a special "diviner" to German J i
Southwest Africa to prospect for wa- t
ter and gold, and the modern Dous- 1
terswlve! claimed the discovery of t
Are You Operating a Mosquito Farm? r
Do you know that are probably .
a breeder of mosquitos? Many a man .
keeps a regular mosquito farm and .
does not know it. Are you one of this
kind? You are, if on your premises
you have open water barrels, empty
tin cans, open water tanks, marshy or
low ground that holds the water after '
rain. Of course, if you like being bit- '
ten by mosquitos and like to run the 1
risk of having them carry to you some . 1
taint of disease, why you will not | 1
do anything to destroy the mosquito- l
breeding places. If the people of ey- '
ery community would get together on J
the mosquito question, the "domeatlo" 1
mosquito could be eliminated. . 11

v., fiinucu ana packed uniformly,
iluch emphasis was laid on the necesdty
of adopting standard grades and a
itandard pack and upon rigid sorting,
grading, packing and Inspection.
Mr. Itasset pointed out the value of
orniing an asparagus Growers' Assoiation,
adopting rules and methods
attsfaetory to all concerned, and put'
ing the management of the associaion
in the hands of the best availible
manager. This manager was to
lave competent inspectors to see that ,
ill asparagus coming into and going
>ut of the association quarters was up
o the standard. The inspectors were
o see that all cars were carefully loadid
and routed in accordance with the
nanager's Instructions. The manager
ivas to keep in touch with all markets
ind prices, and to sell to the best mar
cets.
j
With these suggestions in mind, the
rrowers formed a temporary organtzaion.
A meeting for further organizaion
was then held at Trenton and rep 1
esentativas from Ridge Spring, '
rrenton, Williston. Elko and Blaek
giile were present. J. N. Knight wan
dtoscn as chairman and B. R. Tillman,
Fr., as secretary and by-laws were
idopted. Eight representative direo- j
ors were selected who will meet in
Fanuary to perfect the organization,
iraft articles of incorporation and ,
leflnitely decide upon a manager, inspectors
and officers for the associ-l
ttion.
The success of this association will
lepend not only on procuring a capa
ile manager but also upon the con
erted support of every member.

British Emancipation.
The first day of August, 1834, Is
)ften mentioned but erroneously, as
he day on which the slaves in the
Eiritish colonies were set free. They j
lid not get their actual freedom, but
in apprenticeship which was to pre;ode
and prepare for their freedom.
It was enacted that all slaves should
Jecome "apprenticed laborers" to their j
rasters. These slaves weJt of two |
classes. One class received actual i
'roedom In 1838 and the other In 1840.
It was found that on August* 1, 1824.
here were 770,280 slaves in the col>nies
affected hy this emancipation i
ict. All negroes barn after that date
tvere born free. Twenty million pounds
Kuuaig, ^mu.vuu.euu. was ultimately
paid (o the owners of those slaves,
his sum being distributed ratably ae:ording
to the market prflce of slaves
n each colony.
Unable to Appreciate Silence.
Some peopie never learn to appreci
ite the beauty of silence. Perhaps it
s an appreciation that cannot be acluir'd.
Perhaps it conies by nature.
Such people seem to believe that ail
ipparently human relations must express
themselves in speech. They
leep up an incessant chatter and they
ry to make others chatter in return.
They arc among the most fatiguing inluences
in the world. Often they are
ormented with personal curiosity.
They ask searching questions, and If
hoy do not receive spontaneous and
"uH replies they become suspicious or
iurt.
Center of Universe.
A recent speculation is that Cano
pus, in the southern constellation of
\rgo, is the center of the stellar uni- j
zerse. Though second In apparent
brightness to Sirius, it Is really mu?.?i
arger, and is at the inconceivable
iistance of 489 light-years from us.
Its volume is estimated at 2,400,000
lines that of our own sun, while its

IIERM OF MUCH SIGNIFICANCE
Phrase "'South of Panama" Meana
Much More Than Merely a Geographical
Location.
"South of Panama" is a phrase
which has a mighty significance. It
means not merely geographical loca- '
tion. It signifies vast virgin areas of
lowland and upland contrasted with
fallow valleys and lofty plateaus populated
and cultivated through centuries.
It means barren and burned moun
tains and dreary deserts mingled with
forested and watered slopes, grassy |
llanos and pampas and flowering sa
vannas.
It means the mixing of almost for
gotten aboriginal races and surviving
Indian types with the Intellectual and
refined descendants of early Spaniards
and Portuguese and the later sprinkling
of adventuresome Germans,
Italians, English and Americans. (
It means an ancient civilization, fascinating
Incan ruins, old-fashioned
Moorish and Spanish architecture in
the sleeping cities and towns with
strange peoples and conditions harking
back to far centuries, hard by a
new civilization, modern skyscrapers
and boulevards in growing commercial
entrenots and nmhifimio
. V.^>WUU <U|lU.lin WllU
progressive peoples and conditions ;
which rival the best that the old East
and the new West of North America 1
can show.
Food by Proxy. '
Most of us know some particular ,
food or drink, tho desire for which is
stimulated in us by reading about it. i
Hut the writing must be skillful, or if
not skillful, artlessly good. The cruder i
method of the stage produces the sane
effect; all smokers have experienced
the almost overwhelming desire ta ;
smoke which comes upon them when
someone lights a cigarette on the
stage; these strange and rapid restaurant
meals Tf the fashionable theater, '
when a party sits down at a table and
is whirled through six courses in
about five minutes, surrounded by
champagne bottles in ice buckets and
trays of liquors, have an absurdly exciting
effect.
SLIDING SCALE FOR NOBLES
uurauun or i ixies in tnc Land of Ct>rifuel
us Is to Be Definitely Fixed
by Statute. i
The question as to the exact statuB
of China, whether ft is a republic, em- (
pire. kingdom or what, is a complicated
one?but perhaps the president
will resolve our doubts before many
years are past by being proclaimed J
emperor. For the present one does ,
not know what to think on reading of |
the remarkable sliding scale peerage ,
system that is to be submitted to the i
next parliament for approval. This '
limits the duration of titles in any one j
family as follows:
Dukedom; inherited for five generations
8UCC\.. .x!. i:..' sted with
princehood, marqr.isute, earldom, viscounty
and baronetcy.
Princehood: inherited for four gen
erations successively invested with
marquisate, earldom, viscounty and
baronetcy.
Marquisate: inherited for three gen
erations successively invested with
earldom, viscounty and baronetcy.
Earldom; inherited for two generations
successively invested with vis
county and baronetcy.
Viscounty: inherited t>y one lineal
descendant Invested with baronetcy.
Baronetcy; not hereditary.
The foresight In this remarkable
roster is the fact that the president's
family alone is to be perpetually hereditary.
BROUGHT BACK OTHER DAYS
Biscuit Revived Sad Memories in the
Breast of Hobo Who Received
"Handout."
Congressman Henry A. Cooper of
Wisconsin largely smiled the other day
when the conversation in the lobb> of 1
a hotel turned to fond memories. He '
said he was reminded of the sad emc- j
tior.s of a poor old hobo. i
One afternoon the hobo in question
rambled up the garden walk of a suburban
home and obsequiously asked
for bread. Some home-made biscuit
were given him and a few mlnute3
later he was shaking with scbs.
"What seems to be the matter, my
poor man?" asked the tender-hearted
housewife. "Are you thinking of other
days?"
"Yes, lady," answered the hobo,
with another quiver of hio weary
frame.
"Of dear friends and relatives, I
suppose," suggested the housewife,
"and of the home you used to have."
"No, lady," was the startling response
of the tramp. "1 was thinking
of the stones 1 used to have to
break in a quarry at Rockville."?Philadelphia
