j|| ?frr Dillon ifrralb ;j iOBSCBUTlOX - ?2.SO Per Yr. j Dillon, S. C., June 2, 1921 All autoiats look alike to the locom: motive engineer. There are some men in Dillon who ??n boast that they don't owe a man a cent; but great nations are nevei | that way. American rice growers are having a tough time. If Amercans ate more rice, Which would be good for th' and add to the variety of their meals. the rice market would be several hundred per cent better. Chirping about the "beautiful spring days" is all right in ita way, but there has been a sort of sprin weather all winter and nobody chirp ed except to complafn it wasn't much like winter. Interest amounting to more than $373,000 was due and payable May 15 to South Carolina holders of Liberty bonds of the second issue, but we are wondering how many South Carolinians have transferred their bonds since the last interest payii\? period in September 10 20. Mr. Kdison recently promulgated ^ a list of brain-teasing questions which his press agents claimed wore necessary to (est the mental ability of college men wishing positions in ?m laboratory. The scheme was a w 'very successful publicity stunt, and it got across, as they say, because every Torn, Dick and Harry in the ^ country was interested in knowing how smart?or ignorant?he was, according to the alleged Edison J standard. Mr. Edison himself cannot be a very cultured man, seeing that W ho has bragged much that he sleeps only four hours a day and spends 'he hgi remainder of the time in his laboratory. He has had no time to swallow the contents of an encyclopedia. Mr. i> Edison's success rests on concentration; on being a specialist. His series of questions demanded a knowledge j on every conceivable topic, which is tilt reverse of what made Edison sucf cessful. Edison is the greatest mastei on earth in mechanics, chemistry and allied arts and sciences; but we'll bet he can't explain the Einstein theory well enough to make us un8 derstand it. It ill PEACHES PAY BKi DIVIDENDS. tL J*. A few weeks ago we had some thing to say about the peach industry in the sand hills of Moore countv IS'. C., and advised our farmer friends ^owning sandy lands on the east of Pee Dee to visit this magig land and get some first hand information 011 the raising of peaches. Two well-known farmers visited Mcore county and were so well pleased with what they saw that they have made up their minds to go into the peach industry on a small scale. The Hamlet Messenger, published within a few miles of this great peach growing section, says Moore county, formerly one of the poorest counties in the state, is now one of the richest. Fifteen years ago lands in Moore county had no value. They were not worth the taxes. Since that time the Deach industry has added fivt? mil linn dollars to the wealth of this county. "The length of time that a peach tree will bear in the Sandhills has not yet been determined," says The Messenger. "The oldest orchard in the section is 26 years old. It contains fifteen acres. Last year it yield ed 6,500 crates of peaches. Thest trees have been dehorned only once "There is one orchard 17 years old containing thirteen acres, whlct lias yielded in the last four year8 21, 600 crates. "One of the largest and most successful orchards in the district which this year bids fair to exceed ??.ny yield in its history, is 17 yean old. "The owners of the 26 year old orchard, just referred to, are of th< opinion that it will be good for at least 10 years longer. "Last year a majority of the peaches were sold for $3.00 per crate F.. O. B. freight cars. This year the Sandhill Fruit Growers' Association expect to sell the earlier peaches for $2.25 per crate and the late peaches ?Belles and Elbertas, the two varieties which predominate in this district?for $3,00 per crate F. O. B the shipping stations The average car contains 480 crates. Figured on a basis of 700 car loads, the estimate this year, this will mean a gross return of practically $1,000,000.00. "From a 16 acre orchard ? 26 years old? the crop sold last year for $19,600.00 F. O. B. the railway station. "The erop from the Highland Terrace Orchard last year?$8 acres wm , ; i / * THE DILLON H M Isold for $45,620.00 from which a net profit of $20,416.00 was realized. "Peachland, Inc., a 100 acre orchard, which came into bearing for 3 the first time last year, and the first crop is always light, made a net profit of $18,000.00. "The gross sale last year from the Evans Orchard at Hoffman, which |contains 100 acres and which came jiuto bearing for the first time, was ! $36,000.00. "The Carolina Fruit Company, in < the fall of 1906, purchased 140 acres of land and planted 90 acres in peaches in 1907. By July, 1912, the ] company had expended in cash ex- ?] actly $14,087.00, having for it a 90 acre orchard in full bearing, a good Youse, barn and water tower, two young mules, wagons and machinery, j and a first class pack house, cleared 20 more acres and planted 10 of them in peach trees. In 1913 the net nmftt on operation of the company wasj. $8,122.30, and a 45 per cent dividend , was declared to the stockholders. Since 1913 this company has paid cosh dividends to its stockholders of 285 per cent." ] This a wonderful story The Messenger tells in simple language of great industry that has made the sandhills of North Carolina blossom 1 like a green bay tree. It is a story that reads like a Page from a book o! f'ction. Dut what the Yankee has done in North Carolina can be duplicated or * probably surpassed right here in Dillon county. On the east side of Pee Dee ar? thousands of acres of sandy land with a richer quality of soil perhaps than , the lands of Moore or Koke counties. There should be a difference of about fen degrees in temperature in Dillon's favor, thus making the Dillon count} crop of peaches from ten. days to t\v< weeks earlier. This is a hig advantage iu putting fruit and truck on th? market. There are, however, other factors 1 to be taken into- consideration besid the quality of soil, temperatures, ac eessibility to railroads, etc. Peaches and other perishables can1 not be marketed to the best advantage in limited quantities. The industry must be of such proportions that shipments can be made in car load lots, and it would be well for our friends on the east side of Pee Dee to form an association among themselves and see that each mem tier plants a sufficient number of trees of the same quality to guarantee shipments in car load lots. EDITORIALS MADE INTO NURSERY RHYMES. If We'd Had Advertising in the Time of Mother Huhbard, Like that of Today, Some Jolly Jingles Might Never Have Been Written. Has advertising made any difference in life and manners? asks Richard A. Foley, the Philadelphia adver- . tising agent, in the New York American. Of course it has. The public, generally has been lectured about it and told a great ( deal about it, and perhaps sometimes it makes dry reading, but let us see if we cannot get another angle on the subject. Suppose for example, that advertising had been a real economic force in the era when the Mother Goose jingles were written?what a difference it would have made in those delightful rhymes of childhood , days. For example, if in those days there 1 had been advertising. Mother Hubbard's "cupboard would scarcely have Deen Dare, because her housekeeping , would have been made easy by ad, vertlsing. No doubt this is the way the jingle would have read: 1 Old Mother Hubbard She went to the cupboard . To get her poor dog a bone. , When she got there She found seven kinds of trade marked cereals, advertised prunes, rais' ings, oranges, cakes and cookies, i tinned sardines, salmon, jams, jellies and canned soup. That's the way she prepared for her own. Then there was the famous Jack I Spratt, the gentleman with the prima I donna appetite?advertising would j , have revised that jingle about like this: Jack Spratt he ate no fat, His wife would eat no lean; - But they kept well Ped, t Through the adg they read. And they ate their platters clean. "Dickery, Dlckery, Dock," has made us all think of mince, whenever ! we see a hall clock: ' The old woman who lived in a shoe would have found equal comfort: There was an old woman Who lived in a shoe; She had so many children She didn't know what to do. She got a fireless cooker ? And a washing machine < And electric ironer? I Now they're fed up and clean. i Then contrast Little Mis8 Muffet? < who can imagine a child today eating | any such foolishness as "curds and ] whey". Here's the way it would probably run: 1 Little Miss Muffett < Sat on a tuffet 1 Not eating curds and whey. Instead, she ate cookies 1 And read little bookies She saw advertised yesterday?
