Quality Sugaryams ;
Sell Like Hotcakes
* v* LI
Bennettsville, Jan. 30.?J. 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.

JEWIStj CONTRIBUTIONS TO
UNI JED STATES ARE REVIEWED
Out of Scotland's uymua and tjie
pulsing undertones of our negro spiritual*
the Jew created some of America's
finest modern music.
"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.
Gilbert Seldes, author, used this
body of facts to write a new chapter
of the achievements of Immigrant people
In "Americans All?Immigrants

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.
Her neighbors told her that if the
year were, dry she would not need to
poison her cotton and if the year were
wet, the rain would wash off. the poison
and thq boli weevil would get her
cotton any way. * jg
She Insured her home even though"
she didn't expect that it would burn
that niaht and she decided tp poison ;
her cotton for the same reason. 8he
produced ten heavy bales of cotton on
twelve acres while her neighbors
made abont one-third hale per acre.
Insure against the boll weevil by
three applications of the molassespoison
mixture Just after chopping and -4
before squaring. The cost, Including
labor, is about $1J6 per acre.
