SMALL GROWER
I MAKES MONEY
Story Told of Large Returns
By Man at Chadbourn
NAME NOT LEARNED
Story May be Greatly Exaggerated
as Average Per Orate
Shows
The IBeiaM has failed to get any informal
ion from one or two leading
strawberry growers to whom letters
were addressed, asking a statement of
their acreage; the number of crates
marketed, kind or kinds of fertilizers
used, and the net returns received
from the crop this year. Some have
not replied in any way. One man
wrote that he did not have time to g'et
up the data and write it out for the
paper. This was attempted for the
purpose of showing what the growers
had done this year and thus encourage
others to plant ai.d grow strawberries.
In the meantime The Herald man
has gathered up such information as
he can get and will publish this from
time to time during the next few
weeks.
Some times it is a fact that successful
growers of some crop will call
at The Herald oflice and will answer
all such questions as the oflice wishes
to ask about their experience and success
in the particular crop that is up
for attention.
W. H. Doyle, of the Green Sea section,
lying near the North Carolina
State line, was in a few days ago and
the experience he has had with a
small berry crop was obtained from
him. He commenced planting berries
in October or November. 1921, when
he put out about one-fourth of one
acre. He continued to draw plants
from this small patch and kept planting
until in June, 1922, when he ceased
planting, he had out one and onefourth
acres in the fruit. He has had
net returns from his shipments this
year from the one and one-fourth
acres the total sum of $542 . This is
doing extremely well with a small
acreage like this, most of them young
plants. He says that plants do not
bear so well after the second or third
year as the fruit becomes knotty and
of course, would not sell so well as
the juicy and tender product of the
younger plants.
Aside from the above The Herald
has gathered in a story that comes
from Chadbourn, N. C. The name of
the planter could not be learned. The
informant of the paper heard his
name and heard this man confirm the
story while standing in one of the
stores at Chadbourn some time last
week or the week before. This man
had fourteen acres planted in the berries
this year, and grew them in the
cluster for pi (some of our members
of the Horry County Strawberry
Growers' Association may know what
that means, for we confess that we do
notl; that this man gathered from
this acreage a total of 1.380 crates,
which he shipped off or sold to the
buyers at Chadbourn, and for his crop
he had, up to that time, realized the
total sum of $19,000.00 to use the
whole numbers. There was a shipment
or two which had not been reported
on at the time this conversation
took place. He also said that he
had about ninety crates yet to pick
and ship to the markets. An effort is
being made to get a written confirmation
from this planter who claims this
big success in growing berries this
year. If it is obtained it will he
printed later.

VELVET BEANS !
AS HOG FEED
Clemson College.?Feeding trials
conducted l>y the Animal Industry
Division of Clemson College indicate
that velvet beans do not make a satisfactory
feed for fattening hogs of
light weight, says E. G. Godbey, Assistant
Animal Husbandman.
In a recent 08-day dry-lot feeding
test, 80 pigs averaging 70 pounds in
weight were divided into 8 lots and
fed the following rations: Lot No.
1 (check lot), yellow corn and tankage;
lot No. 2, velvet bean feed; Lot]
No. 3, velvet bean feed and yellow
corn meal; fx>t No. 4. soaked velvet
beans; Lot No. 5, soaked velvet beans
and shelled yellow corn; Lot No. 6
'dry velvet beans; Lot No. 7, dry velvet
beans and shelled yellow corn; Lot
"No. 8, velvet bean feed and yellow
'corn meal and tankage.
The average daily gain per pig and
cost of 100 pounds of gain were respectively:
for lot 1, 1.47 lbs. and $8.00;
Lot 2. .013 lbs. and $115.20; Lot
S, .4 lbs.,, and $11.42; Lot 4, .30 lbs.,
and $9.44; Lot 5, .41 lbs., and $9.75;
Lot f>, .23 lbs., and $10.04; Lot 7, .35
and $10.44: Lot 8. .53 lbs., nnd
$11.72.
The prices per ton of feeds in the
test were: Corn $40. corn meal $45,
tankage $75, velvet beans $20, velvet
bean feed $22.
Lot 2, on velvet bean feed, was
t"ken olT feed at the end of 42 days.
Kone of the lots in which velvet beans
made a part or entire ration gave a
satisfactory result from the stand*
point of rapidity or economy of gains.
The lack of palatability seems to
he the greatest limiting factor. The
hogs receiving velvet beans ate approximately
one-half as much per lot
&s was consumed by the check lot on
corn and tankage.
Attention is called to the fact that.
|V?ocp v?oes averaged aoproximatelv 70
pounds at the beginning of this test
and that the results are applicable tc
thnf mnvnvimate this weight.
There is little doubt that larger hogs
M have given more satisfactory
results.
BEK ON HIS HEAD HIT BY
DRIVER, AUTO HITS PILLAR
A bee wrecked the plans of Michael ]
H. Jacobs, 27, No. 1186 East Fifteenth
street, Brooklyn, who started
out in his automobile with five relatives
and friends.
The bee lighted on his head as he
was steering his car through Metropolitan
avenue, at One Hundred and
Twenty-Sixth street, Richmond Hill.
In his eagerness to swat the bee,
Jacobs lost control of the steering
wheel and the car struck a pillar of
the Long Island Railroad tracks.
Jacobs received a cut on the forehead.
His mother-in-law, Mrs. Fannie
Robbins, 55, of No. 1162 East
Fifteenth street, and Louis Lannoholz,
35, of No. 938 Eastern Parkway,
were cut and bruised and taken to the
Mary Immaculate Hospital.
o
U. S. COTTON TOO
HIGH IN EUROPE
Galveston, Tex.?Arriving here direct
from Vienna, Austria, where he
is European representative of Harris,
Irby & Yoss, American cotton exporters,
Lee Pick gave an interesting account
of the spinning industry in
Austria and Central Europe. The
Austrian spinning industry, Mr. Pick
stated, by running full time and using
American cotton exclusively,
would consume about 180,000 to 220,000
bales of cotton per year, but, owing
to the high price of American
cotton and the comparatively low
price of East Indian cotton, most of
the mills are using principally East
Indian staple. In November and
December, he stated, there was a
severe slump in the price of longstaple
Egyptian cotton, which, at one
fimn caI;I uvon vvifli lnnir.cfvnlo
American cotton, and nearly all mills
cornered a year's supply in Egypt.
"Taking Central Europe as a
whole," Mr. Pick stated, "including
Germany, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia,
Austria and the few mills in Hungary
and Jugoslavia, the consumption of
American cotton has been considerably
curtailed by working short time only
and the low prices of cotton grown
by foreign growers. The textile industry
in Russia, which is purchasing
its cotton independent from the Soviet
government, but with the consent of
the authorities at the present time,
is reviving quickly and the average
consumption of American cotton during
the last three months was about
10,000 bales. However, representatives
of the Russfan spinners' combine,
with headquarters in Moscow,
and a thoroughly equipped branch office
at Bremen, believed that if political
developments do not interfere in
the near future Russia will be able
to buy from 18,000 to 20,000 bales
monthly. So far nearly all the sales
to Russia were made cash on delivery
at Russian ports, principally Riga and
Reval, while about 10 per cent of th#5
purchases were made on credit, the
American exporters are reluctant tol

o
DISCUSSES CO-OPS
Mr. Editor:
Please allow me space in your paper
to express my opinion and ask a few
questions of the co-ops. But before
I go into detail let me say that I
do not belong: to the co-ops and have
no axe to grind but have been observing
farmers' organizations all my life
and never have seen any that proved
a success.
The man who has been most successful
with the farm while his neighbor
was talking organization and
fighting the speculator was plowing
and raising hog and hominy and he
always won.
Now let's look and see who starts
these organizations. A lawyer who
knows as much about a farm as a
cat does about a fiddle. Then he will
go around and make a few speeches
and get some of the silk-coated fellows
who own a piece of land out
from town four or five miles, which
possibly they don't see but once a
month, and never plowed a furrow in
their lives and would almost turn the
wolf in at the door before they would
meet the glaring eye of old Sol, and
they have the thing started. The
next thing they look for is the man
they can out-talk, for this bunch is
well read and have plenty of time to
talk to everybody who comes to town
and have a memory as long as a railroad
iron. So they get out and furnish
what thev claim is free air, but
before you join them you have to pay
for it.
Now this man who starts this is
heir to the office with the biggest salary,
and if the salary is not strong
enough he will get astride of his
sheep and ride into politics and once
in a good paying proposition the
members of his flock can paddle their
own canoe. It is true the membership
fees are small, so the poorest
can get in as well as the rich to float
down this great stream of prosperity
and they all load up and there they
go. Everything is lovely till the
gang plank is pulled in and then they
find themselves on the snags. The
very ones who indorsed this thing
and got the poor farmers into it now

laugh at his calamity and mock when
his fear cometh. Here he is in a deplorable
condition. He has cast his
lot with this lawyer and lost. He has
just found out that the great law of
supply and demand rules the prices
Now he has to go and bow'*to his
creditors and ask them to be ".merciful
to him. In place of getting out
of trouble he has gotten into it and
will have to get out by himself while
the polite lawyer and silk-coated
farmers are studying anothe~ trap to
catch him in.
Now suppose that every pound cf
tobacco had been signed over to the
co-ops and turned over to them. This
country would have been in one of
the biggest messes it has ever been
in. I personally know folks who have
not gotten enough out of their tobacco
to pay for the guano that went under
it to say nothing of their work
and that of their families and wood
for curing. Yet they were offered a
fair price on the independent floor
and refused because they had signed
up with the co-ops. He that does not
provide for his own house is worse
than an infidel.
I will now ask a few questions t.s
I am drawing very near the waste
basket.
1. If it is a good thing why don't
the membership grow faster?
If Hip mpmhpt'c qvo <*11 ooflofinJ
? - ? ^ >> %/ W & M MI v ui i oationuu
why do they always say: "If it stands
I will continue to sell through it?"
3. If the scale of salaries was
wrongly printed in The News why
don't they deny them ? .
4. How can they pay so much
salaries and lease so many houses and
guarantee the expenses not to exceed
one cent per pound ?
5. Why do all the suits filed with
the exception of one or two be in another
State?
6. If the co-ops know the price of
tobacco why did they wait until the
independent houses opened to &et the
price ?
7. Do you know one single case
where the same, tobacco would not
have brought as much money on the
independent floor and you would have
gotten it all at once?
8. If all the tohacco is sold why
do they hold off the final settlement?
9. Why pass such resolutions as
were passed in the Florence meeting,
when those needing financial help to
gather their tobacco had to get it
from the independent warehousemen?
When all these and several more
are answered satisfactorily I will
take the matter under consideration.
One word more to a corresnondent
who said "cash on hand and more to
come is better than cash last fall and
that all gone," and it is this: "One
bird in the hand is worth two in the

what shame is. Some are said to be
without any, no matter what the circumstances
may be in which they find
themselves. When a person is said
to be without shame, they are believed
to be capable of doing anything mean 1
and still are unashamed when the
world finds this out. What is shame?
"Shame" is one of the most terrible
words in the English language. Even
in childhood, before we learn its exact
meanings (for it has several),
the sound of it, shouted or whispered
in scorn or accusation, can take all
the joy out of life.
Imagine a man, a favorite of fortune,
possessed of wealth, a position
of influence and power, and a beloved
wife and child, suddenly born down
by a crushing sense of shame.
That is what happens in the picture.
Webster's Dictionary gives the following
definitions of shame:
1. A painful feeling of degradation
excited by consciousness of guilt or
of anything degrading, unworthy or
immodest.
, 2. The restraining sense of pride,
decency, or natural modesty.
3. That which brings reproach; a
disgrace.
4. A state of ignominy.
In each and every sense David
Fielding, laboring under a strange and
terrible delusion, suffers shame until
far in the interior of Alaska, he finds
the solution of the mystery which has
driven him to desperation.
Ever since man put words on paper,
the power of suggestion over the human
mind has been the basis for
countless stories. .
A great drama was written once |
arouna a man who, being told repeatedly
that he looked ill, actually
became ill. The influence upon a
person of certain jewels, of the odor
of a flower, of a color, has been known
to change the whole life of that person.
This is not fiction; it has been
proved by scientists.
A man is told by an unscrupulous
person that he is a half-cast. The
suggestion preys on his mind. Soon
he believes he sees his features changing
to those of a half-caste. In the
mirror he sees reflected what has
been told him. A haunting shadow
follows him wherever he goes?at
least, he thinks it does. When his
baby is born, he sees in the child's
face the resemblance to the creature
he believes himself to be.
It is an astounding theme and a
weird situation. Around it the authors
have woven a marvelous story of
what happens to a man who becomes
obsessed with a fixed idea.
Not until the suggestion is with

drawn and the man learns the "truth
does the haunting shadow leave-him
and his mind returns to normal.
It is a fascinating and enthralling
tale, and scenically the picture is
c>eautiful. It is one of those impressive
photodramas that stand out from
the general run and 'help establish
new standards of excellence in the
foremost field of entertainment,
The production adds to the fame of
Emmett J. Flynn, the young director
who made the Fox special. "A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's
Court," and it has served to lift to
stardom John Gilbert, the brilliant
young actor who portrays the character
of David Fielding.
Fielding, the youthful head of a big
shipping concern in San Francisco, is
told he is a half-caste. Refusing at
first to believe it, he broods over the
charge until he grows frantic. He
takes his infant child and leaves his
home, going to the wilds of Alaska.
His wife follows with a faithful
secretary. They are attacked by
wolves, and the secretary jumps from
the dog sled to fight the pack. The
dogs run on to Fielding's cabin and
stop. As Fielding gets his wife inside
the cabin is attacked by one of
the wolves, and fights it barehanded.
The climax of the story is a strik- I
ing surprise, clearing up the mystery
of young Fielding's life.
We must remember that what we
do and say is bound to have its influence
on others. The effect of something
we have said may be only
momentary or thhe effects may be as
lasting as life itself. We say something
about another that we only suspect
as being true. The fact is that
it is not true, and yet what we have
said is believed by someone and this
one tells another who believes the
statement, and so it goes.
Some of us fail to take an account
beforehand of what the effects may
be of the things we say. This film
will teach a lesson that should be
studied out and applied to the individual
circumstances of each one who
sees it.
