The foundation has been laid Upon a sound Scientific basis. We have & vir* Inal monopoly in the high iodine intent Of our vegetation. We face the future with a high hope based on a scientific fact. Our food product is an absolute Necessity and South Carolina has a virtual monopoly. There are so many ways by which development will take place as a» ^ result of discoveries already made that if we but grasp our opportuni ties we may, without exaggeration, visualize a South Carolina with the burdens of adversity l^ted, and a prosperous and happy citizenship in 4bi^ Etata. - - — . ^ , " . . ' Authorities All Agree The claims for South Carolina foods have been substantiated by_ leading Bcientists throughout the world and their statements printM in the foremost scientific journals. The virtual monopoly, however, which we possess in our Jiroducts grown here for human and animal foods will make it possible to divei^ pify our crops and bring us prosperity^ - — ~ ‘ Competition Necessary —^ ^ We are, today, faced with competition from strongly organized states and sections which are. deeply entrenched. t We cannot hope to meet their competition unless we too unite and as a single aggressiyejimt go forth to tike our place in the markets of the world. 'I*' With our advantage of a virtual monopoly»we j have > theTpowerfid weapon with which to drive the great food and dairying companies into our state, to buy our vegetables, animal feeds and ini^, that they may save their very economic existence. No other state in the Nation pos- sesses sacK an advanfs^. It vrill lie of value 16 us oiJy in proportion to our ability to organise-our resources, our talents, and our money, lor, coinnion'good. It is of the greatest significance that Meade Johnson Compai^, laziest manufacturer of infant foods, has just announced their intention of es tablishing a plant in South Carolina. The Borden Company, the^g^t- 6st purveyor of mill^ products in the United States, has de0d^ to establish a milk drying plant in Newberry, South Carolim. S^ples of ynilk will be collected there from various sections of the state, ^cn sample will be dried and sent every other day for analysis to the souin Carolina Food Research Laboratory, located in Charleston S. o., pa the Borden Laboratory at Bambridge, New York. tion will be determined the most suitoble situations for the buuaing pi, plants. I Fruitsf Vegetables and Milk, Coincident with this work upon milk and foods reputed bythe Borden tind Johnson Cos., there will be conducted at the laboratory a investigation of vegetables grown in the several sections of the SUte, and this study will extend throughout the year in order to awertain - seasonal variations occur in their iodine content. This work will do undertaken at the^ request of some of the other important vegetable com^ panies that conteinpkte moving into South Carolina. ^ The problem of marketing our wares is paramount. Pnnm^iy> Shust create a consumer’s demand for our products. Next, packer^ can- ners, daiiymen and purveyors of milk must beinfonned of our products. Once a demand is established markets will follow. « " - The Progress Movement I ’ . Therefore, we believe that now is the time for citizens Carolina to amite in a great Progress Movement whose object yml furnish the money and manpower necessary to create a natmnal de mand for South Carolina grown products and to car^ ^rwam^ forjtu Our people, the discoveries made - - - - — - Commission..
