Speaking of strawberries, says the Wilmington Star, “one ofv Pender county's lucky growers has already added, nearly 61,300 to his farm in come from one acre, hut just what his acre record will be for the sea son is yet a matter of conjecture, for he is siill gathering strawberries and selling plan's from that same valu able acre of land.’’ This is truly a remarkable record t&vi' Ts > y \ , HANDICAPPED F'rom the Birmingham-Age Herald. ‘•Nice little farm you have here.” “You ought to see the mortgage on it,” growled the gloomy agriculturist. ‘Cheer up. You’ll pay off that mortgage some day.” “Don’t believe I ever will.

Bowen, eted mor/ mony from one acre of berries than a cotton planter in thu cotton belt could get out of twenty bales of land In a normal season. Up to the middle of last week he has sold 214 crates of bei'ries at an average of 66.60 a crate, his receipts from shipments being 61.297. There was a time when strawberry Shipments enriched Florence. Money frbrii harries came in ut a time when there was little Cash here and it look ed like a prospect had been opened up for a great tuture business among the planters. It was not long, how ever, before the planting of straw- bwNdes was stopped, possibly it was because of one bad year, and the plant- ers..a 11 turned to cOt-on again. Cot ton ~is the one article on the farm that goes in the ground every year, regardless of price and quantity on hand; it is the one thing that]is not affett^d by a so called bad year. Even the boll weevil has not proved : a great reducer of acreage. Although It has practically destroyed production, with the practical certainty of gathering no crop acres and acres continue to be placed in cotton. It the farmers as a whole stick to other crops with the same tenacity they stick to cot ton there would be greater prosperi ty for them. ter is read by thousands who would not take the trouble to wade through a lengthy one that mere personal says the Wilmington paper, has pock- abuse and vituperation weaken rath- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR er than strengthen an argument and cannot he printed; and that anony mous communications sent in for publication represent only a waste of their writer's time, because they de serve uo consideration, and get none.’ ” “The requirement that the real names of writers be published along with their communications is already enforced by numerous newspapers throughout the country. “When a contunicatiou scut to The Piedmont is delayed in publication, it is usually for the reason that it is so badly written that it has to be rewrit- ttn in this office. Many people who exercise much care 1C writing to in dividuals are extremely careless in preparing letters for publication, and so impose an unnecessary burden up on this newspaper. Plainly readable and correctly prepared communica tions are the exception, rather than the rule." 1 1 the wave follows a wire it does not radiate, and no outsider can pick up the; message being transmitted.

Some of these let ters were splendidly written and bore upon interesting and important sub jects. It was with regret that they were declined. The policy of the paper, however, would no: permit of their publication under the mere sig nature of “pro bono publico” and the like. Newspapers throughout the country have adopted a similar pol icy with respect to publishing letters niv’er pen names. The Greenville Piedmont has recently had experi ences similar to ours and thus tells the story to its readers: “F’or many years it has been our in variable rule that, when communica tions are sent to this newspaper for publication, the real name of the an thor must be published also. Often The Piedmont receives interesting and timely letters to which the real name of the writer Is not attached. These are returned where the writ er’s address Is given, or, when that information is not given, are destroy ed. “The New Orleans Times-Plcayune has just adopted a similar rule, and, in addition to stating forcibly the rea- j son for It, gives some sound advice j to those who write letters to news- j, papers for publication: “ ‘The change was decided upon for , reasons which will as 'we hope find gene*J l acceptance and endorsement. Expressions of Individual views are welcomed as interesting human docu- ments and are wJdel.- read. But they loye much of thetc force and weight when the identities of their writers are concealed by lien names. Tho man or woman wild desires td ad* dress the newspaper-reading public should not hesitate to send out the i message over his or her own signa- i ture. We realize that some writers of worthwhile letters do hesitate but j we feel that the general rule is sound ; and cannot in fairness make excep- i tions to fit special cases. “ ‘Worthwhile letters on worth while topics are welcomed as heart- Bible Thought For Today A SAFE RETREAT:—Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may ._'to**4nu*ny resort-; thou hast given eommiindiueitt to navr mer-tat thou could he’ used to carry speech an.* could be guided over wires.

The phonograph and the “movie” : are considerefl two of the greatest | inventions of, the age because they , provide entertainment and iustruc- | lion for large numbers of citizens. j Even greater accomplishments are promisee by experts for the radio phone, which was practically un known before the world war.

James Clark Maxwell of Edinburgh and London started it in 18(14. He proved mathematical:.! that disturb ances In the ether caused by light and heat and those caused by elec- ' tricity were the same. In other i words, a ray of sunlight was sinspiy j a number of electro magnetic waves, | traveling through space with such a ! large number of vibrations a second 1 that you can sec them. Radiant heat, j likewise, is a number of electro-mag- | nctlc waves. The difference between the two is-; in the length of the wires A light wave is about one ;:r:y-thousandth of an inch long; a heat wave is abotu one ten-thousandth of an inch. Wireless is the same, except tha« ! the wave is from 100 feet to 15 miles long. Man has discovered that he can create an electro-magnetic dis turbance in the ether (or space) with an electric current, anc control the length of the wave by making and breaking the 'electric connection. After devising a system of sending out waves of a prescribed length, man found that he could signal across rpace p> great distance by means or an Instrument toliwti could bo “tuned" to pick up waves of a ’certain length, say 200 feet, 500 feet or 2,0»;o feet, regardless of other waves In the ether.
