Dr. Hayne-says: “On a recent automobile trip made in South Carolina visiting many towns and cities throughout the state such as in the Piedmont section, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson and Central; in the central part pf the state, New berry, Columbia, Orangeburg and Sumter; in the Pee Dee section, Harts- ville, ^nnettsville and Darlington, and on the coast, Beaufort, Charles ton, Walterboro and Georgetown, in quiry was made as to the reaction of the people in regard to the recent con firmation of the beliefs of Dr. William Weston that the fruits and vegretables of South Carolina had an extremely high iodine content. I found that a spirit of hopefulness had taken the place of gloom which had been so prevalent throughout the state on sim ilar trips in the last three years. “The people living belt of the United States, an ar^ which comprises such cities as Chicago, St. Paul, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City and St. Louis and has a population of over thirty million, will undoubtedly create a Come in and look through our|“")‘*‘/" ^ m. , J wu ^Ihna s fruits and vegetables in any line of Young Men S and Boys j quantity that can be grown, andjwill Suits.

In that area goiter is so prevalent among the high school girls and boys that H is common talk among the every day people of that section of the coun try how to prevent their children from having goiter. Many plans have been factories. To my mind the question absolves itself into obtaining capital for canneries and the maintenance of cold storage plants. “In a recent address made in Wash ington there was this reaction. I heard from many of the Southern states, particularly North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. The letter from Dr. C. W. Garrison, state health officer of Arkansas, is typical of the attitude. Be says, ‘Now look what you’ve gone and done with your blamed iodine investigation.’ Dr. Gar rison’s letter to me was in reply to a letter to him from the Arkansas Cooperative Extension work by T. Roy Reid, assistant director. Another re action was from Dr. Walter M. Simp son, surgeon at the Miami Valley hos pital of Dayton, Ohio: ‘I must take this opportunity to congratulate you on your paper. It was one of the im portant surprises of the meeting, and anything new is always interesting to me.’ A letter was also received from Dr. Laughinghouse, state health of ficer of North Carolina, which states that he expects to submit to his de partment of agriculture, to the gov ernor and the state board of health plans for making a similar survey in North Carolina, which he hopes may add impetus to the work being done in South Carolina. “It is the feeling of the writer that the advertising must be done, as is now being done, through news articles in the press. In other states than South Carolina, as well as in this state, a campaign which is being splendidly conducted that we must also carry on a campaign in South Carolina to have the farmers realize that they must change their method of farming, in other words, must grow the fruits and vegetables that will be in demand. The scientific world, through Dr. Weston, Dr. Remington and myself, and others, has been thor oughly informed in regard to this re search work, but to the man in the street, the ordinary reader of the newspaper, it must be divested as far as possible of scientific terms so that he may realize that a great discov ery has been made which will benefit him and his family. If he lives in the goiter section he will be benefitted by being able to sell his products and by the creating of a market for his food stuffs. In our work in South Carolina we find that at present the disease which is making most headway is,the one which is due to not eating food which contains the various elements suggested, such as putting iodine into | that are necessary for health. This the water supply of the cities, the re- kind of living produces pellagra, tu- quirement of the use of iodized salt, berculosis, and many other diseases due to dietary deficiency.

South Caro lina’s agricultural condition is bad. The low price of cotton, the fact that not more than 150 pounds of lint cot ton can usually be raised to the acre, the competition that the trucking in dustries meet in attempting to sell their truck in centers of population, the discrimination against South Car olina in freight rates, all have tended to make a South Carolina farmer the gloomiest of individuals. Farm lands are largely mortgaged to the Federal Larid banks and the price of land has gone down to such an extent that the farmer cannot sell his land for any thing like what it is worth. Now through the discussion of iodine he be gins to see the dawn of a great era of .prosperity for the farmer of South Carolina. The manufacturing indus tries of the state have gone forward by leaps and bounds and the Pied mont section of South Carolina is dot ted with factories so that when one rides from Gastonia to Atlanta one is out pellagra. We had almost accom plished this in 1921 but economic con- dition^ have been so bad since then that we are again menaced by lack of care in selecting the diet, and fre quently the lack of money necessary to purchase a suitable diet. “The state health officer feels con fident that South Carolina is on the threshold of great prosperity. In trav eling over this compact little state and noting its splendid highways and its good railroad facilities, we are con fident it could be made a great food producing state, and that the fertile lands that lie at present uncultivated or else growing unremunerative crops can be converted into a veritable veg etable garden for the rest of the coun try. We have a climate that will allow the growing of crops the year round in most sections of the state and the soil is wonderfully fertile. Although in some places cotton has been planted for 100 years it still produces cotton, showing the apparent inexhaustibiltiy of the soil. “We believe that in the discovery of the tremendous quantity of iodine contained in the fruits and vegetables grown in Souths Carolina we have the silver lining to the present economic i never out of sight of a factory chim- We beHeve that people a de cade from now will look back upon the activities taking place in this state OoMtlpstloa. BtltoUMMSS. n-£>niuci Indlgwiaic oa What Do F: & JEANES 1 Do? I'ney. How to capitalize the discovery {of iodine in the fruits and vegetables of South Carolina is a problem that presents itself to everyone. All over the state people are asking them selves, “How can we profit by this discovery ? ” “In the first place we are creating a demand. The next thing we must think of is how to .meet this demand. It is difficult to chdnge from cotton and com farming to the growing of potatoes, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, watermelons, peaches and other products. Manifestly we must for cooperative associations in each county and study the resources of the county and determine which one of the fruits and yegetables mentioned is best grown in that county. Then we must have facilities for the handling of these products after they are grown. It is obvious that if a large quantity of perishable products are thrown on the market at one time, in spite of the demand for the pro ducts the nvarket will be glutted and a low price will prevail Hence we must have methods of holding‘the pro ducts and gradually putting them up on the market as the demand for them indicates. To do this we mukt have at the present time as the beginning of the golden of prosperity in this state and will render tribute to Dr. William Weston, Dr. Roe Remington, Governor Richard rf, and to thosq who have been instrumental in bringing about a change in the agricultural habits of the state. “One further thought is that no fruits and vegetables grown in South Carolina should be sold without hav ing the attractive label that has been gotteh up by the South Carolina Nat ural Resources commission. This la bel tells to all who handle these pro ducts the story of iodine and wherever these products go South Carolina and the iodine content of its fruits and vegetables will be known.” Potatoes With Cheese and Green ‘ Pepper Hearty enough for a main dish is this recipe: 2 cups sliced cooked pota to, 1 cup white sauce, 1 chopped green pepper, 1-2 cup grated cheese, 1-2 cup bread crumbs.

Makes Statement In Interview While On Trip Around the World. Quoting an interview with J. C. Pen- ney, given while he was on a recent trip around the world, the Bangkok Daily* Mail of Bangkok, Siam, 'says, “that advertising is the biggest aid to business today and that young men starting in business should strive for a career by beginning at the bottom and working up.” “Without advertising, no business can hope to succed in the face of pres ent day competition ani up-to-date methods,” Mr. Penney declared in the interview. “The old axiom that ‘truth in adver tising pays’ is just as potent today as it ever was, in fact even more so. The day when a business could deviate from the straight truth regarding its products or its organization is gone. The public knows too much about what is going on to be deceived by anything less than the plain truth. “If a business man or an organiza tion cannot be fair and truthful re garding its wares or its methods of manufacture and handling them, then than business cannot hope to succeed.” In speaking of young men just en tering business, Mr, Penney said, “Too many young man, after receiving their education, want to step in high posi tions, getting jobs at figures which approach their idea of their usefulness or that enable j^hem to start off in life fairly comfortable. “That is desirable, but not at the beginning of the game. Apprentice ship is the most valuable asset there is in any profession or in any walk in life. Begin at the bottom and work up; that is one of the most certain roads to success. Jumping the ladder has proved to be the ‘longest short cut* there is to the attainment of am bitions.” Mr. Penney started in as a clerk at a salary which today would look like wages for a day. With him it was wages for a month, he dpened up his first store on $600 cash and a note for $1600. Today the business of the J, C. Penney Co., is at the rate of $200,• 000,000 a year. , In his contact with the wealth of affairs which surround a man of his business attainments, he maintains the same attitude which he assumed at the start.
