Clyde( Quick?farmer, milliliter and game warden of the Wilson community iu | Marlboro county?knows that quality sweet potatoes will puy the producer. On a Saturday In early October, when the markets arpuud Benuettsv 1 lie were flooded with all sorts of sweet potatoes, including many of the poorest quality, Mr. Quick placed two bushels of his Sugaryams with a local merchant. On Wednesday of the following week came a request from that same merchant for an additional five bushels. He had put Mr. Quick's sleek, uniform, quality potatoes In competition with the poor grade and they had appealed to customers as chocolate cakes appeal to kiddies! .Krom that day on, as long as his supply lasted, Mr. Quick averaged selling ten to twelve bushels per week. "I had no trouble In disposing of my Sugaryams at a fair price because 1 offered only the best for sale," Mr. Quick explained, "The quality sweet potatoes caught the eye of the housewives whon they went into the store to buy. I imagine tne uumuur uuu grade klnda whetted their appetites too. And, from my own standpoint, I know that the quality yams brought me a premium and created demands for my product." Mr. Quick has been raising and selling sweet potatoes for about five years. He is a small farmer, cultivatI lng twenty-one acres of his own land and renting forty acres in addition.

"This Is but one example of the ability of the Jewish cltisen,'', Commissioner of Education John WV Studebaker said today In reviewing a new study on America's debt to Its immigrant .peoples. - "This .review of Jewish contributions shows, that since the day Luis de Torres, the Jewish member of Oolumbus' crew who Is said to have been the first white man to set foot on American soil, the Jews have been enriching the stream of American life. Today, more than four million Jews are contributing to Americas progress in sclsnce, art, music, abjtfculture and public service. "There is not one episode or crisis in our national history in which the Jews have not played a part," Commissioner Studebaker said. "Jews, not Jewels, provided the funds for the first voyage of Columbus. Research has exploded the legend concerning Isabelltf and her gems. The money was advanced freel yand generously by Luis Santangel and other men of Jewish birth. "Here," said Commissioner Studebaker, "we see the Jew helping to discover America. The history of the Jew In America ' began with a tale of suffering. Two ! hundred eighty-five years ago the first boat-load of Jewish- refugees sought safety here. They came as exiles from persecution. Driven from South America by the Portuguese, who had won Pernambuco from the Netherlanders, they hoped at least to find a home in the colony of New Amsterdam. They were admitted under protest. But within a few years after their landing in America, it is reported, the Jews helped to raise Newport to a place of Importance in the commercial world. In Georgia, and Charleston, South Carollna.-the^plafited colonies which are still in existence. During the conflict between the colonies and the mother country, the majority of Jews in colonial America stood with the patriots They furnished soldiers and officers for the army. Hamy Solomon, a Polish-Jewish refugee, is credited with having saved the day for Washington with his financial contributions. A rabbi, Dr. Gershom Mendes Seixas of the J Shearith Israel Congregation of New York, was among the clergymen who administered the oath of office to George Washington when he was first Inaugurated as president. Research reveals that UMah Levy, who fathered the law for the abolition of corporal punishment in the United States Navy, was one of the outstand- J ing naval commanders In the War of 1812. ! From the beginning of their colonial life, the Jews have been 'Vitally concerned with the progress and development of distributive occupations and commerce. From small shops started by Jewish immigrants there arose many of (he great American department stores. The names of Straus, Gimel, Altaian and Stern are evidence of the rise of obscure Jewish merchants. Nathan Straus, merchant, is internationally known for his charitable works. He established free milk centers for the poor of 126 American ' cities in the course of a personal ( (crusade that resulted in legislatlonj frequiring the pasteurisation of milk! ! in this country. Samuel G-ompers, a ' cigar maker, conceived and carried lout the principle of unionism. Joseph Goldborger, a worker In the United States Public Health Service, discovered the cause of pellagra, a disease that reached epidemic proportions in the southeastern areas of the United , States. Jews fought on both sides in Jhe Civil War. The conflict that separated the families of other groups in the United States also saw Jew shoulder j arms against" Many who had | come from the lands of oppression lu Central Kurope struggled- for the emancipation of slave*. A study reveals that 8,000 Jew# seryed this Bine aud the Gray. p %lore 'than 260,000 American Jews saw service In 1017 and 1018 in the World war. s ' a American Jews have contributed puch to the development of art, science and agriculture In the United fljkates. Jewish-sponsored agricultural Acllooto are educating Jewish youths In scientific farming methods. They have done muoh to develop a distinctive school of Amerloan muslo; and . Oscar Ilammersteln, German-Jewish refugee, shook the lethargy out of the American opera and started It on a successful career. Mauy Jews are prominently connected with the motion ploture Industry In the United States. In the field of science we notice such names as Dr. Simon Flexner, of Rockefeller Foundation fame. Pr. Harry Plots is said to have Isolated ^ie germ of typhus and prepgfed a serum to combat It Dr. Sasimlr Funk improved the theory of vitamins and made it the basis of modern dietetics. Jewish Influence on American literature has made Itself felt within the past two decades. Suoh names as Edna Ferber, Waldo Frank and Sidney Klngaley are prominent In the modern school.

INSURE AQAIN8T BOLL WEEVIL Last year a farmer died Juat before h|e two-horse prop of cotton was to ' j be planted. Hie widow went for ad- ' vice to neighboring farmers who were outstanding cotton growers. She followed their advice in e^grytblidT except In poisoning her (otton against the boll weevil.
