We find that South Carolina vege tables are rich in this food eletnent — not only vegetables that are grown in the lower part of the State, but Anderson, York, Lancaster, Spartanburg, Greenville and Edge- field are rich in it. “If we can establish the fact, and make it known 1 , that South Carolina asparagus contains sufficient iodine to prevent goiter, think of the de mand for this product in cans. Prote c t Against Goiter. “Four ounces, daily, of South Caro lina Irish potatoes will protect an in dividual against goiter—it will pro tect him in Switzerland, in ^Minneap olis, in Duluth, in St. Paul—or where- ever men suffer from this disease," Dr. Weston said. He told of having addressed a group of doctors and surgeons in Detroit on the subject of iodine content of South Carolina foods and of the great inter est displayed—an interest that kept Dr. Weston up all night asking him questions in regard to the findings of the food analysis commission. The United States public health service is to send a man to check up on I>r. Rem ington^ findings and establishments ip Battle Creek, Mich., are displaying interest in the work. “Last yet'. South Carolina pro- dueled thousands of bushels of Irish potatoes at a great loss. The A. and P. chain store system operates some 22,000 stores in the United States. They figure they could use some f>0,- 000 carloads of potatoes anmjally. Qnce the world knows that South Carolina potatoes are rich in iodine, it will demand that product—think what it would mean to our agricul tural groups—ard to all of us—were it possible for every barrel of potatoes grown to be sold at a r(»a«oni'ble profit instead of being allowed to rot in the field because the price offered would not pay the freight to marked.” Dr. Wston said. “How nan we let the people know what the analysis of our f<x>ds show? People know today as never before how important a part in their health and well-being proper nutrition plays. “W’e doctors can get the rews •cross to the medical profession through our meetings of medical asso ciations; the press can he of great ser vice; our boards of health will assist; railroads will co-operate and fertili- xer manufacturing concerns .will join in, I believe. Comparative Fgures. “Our competitors in supplying food products are Oregon and California. Let us tfive you some comparative figures, as to iodine content, of vege tables grown in these States, all of the figures being per billion parts. Iodine Parts. S. C. Calif. Ore. Beets . 233 8 — Carrots _ 135 8.5 Lettuce _ 754 0 11.1 Peaches . 192 0 Ripe peas _ 197-500 8.4 Spir.aeh 339-431 26 19 Tomatoes _ . 273 17 _ _ _ _ Asparagus -_400 17 "‘We havi proved these figures scientifically. Our work is not com plete. but we have gone far enough to know something of what we hive. “It is up to us to make South Caro lina wealthy; enable our people to pay their debts; stop this breaking of banks,” Dr. Weston said ir conclusion. Ah to Iodized Salts. When iodized salt-; were mentioned Dr. Weston said their use should be forbidden in South Carolina. Ben F. Taylar told of prospects for canning asparagus in thrrState and discussion was entered into as mark ing such goods with a South Caro linn label, so that the buyer might know what he was getting. Large concerns, Dr. Weston said, had told him that they would be unable to supply the demand fbr South Carolina products were they advertised a* havirg in 'them sufficient iodine to pi event Lgwt»r. The project, T. C. Williams said, means more for the happiness, wealth and health of the people than any yet broached. 4 This thing is here,” Dr. Westor ’said. “Why should we not step out and make our State prosperous. We can’t make a living agricultuially here now. If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, it is a fine time to ive the State.” He suggested that an organization be formed, a trade mark secured and the product brought to the attention of goiter ridden sec tions. • Dr. James A. Hay re, State health ir,.and Dr. F. H. McLeod, of both thought the matter one iMertance to the State and r, a# Hartarttfe, said Dr. Weston’s message had “given a great deal of hope to some of us.” Various suggestons for providing money for continuing the work of the analysis commission were made, W. J. Roddey, of Columbia suggested a tax on all State branded products. Governor Richards said there was no necessity for South Carolina to make and car*' the food products re ferred to—that it had been established that the vegetables grown contained the iodine desired and that now was the time to get business men- interest ed. He believed the legislature ready to cooperate cordially in any plan looking to the rehabiliation of agri culture. Dr. Weston said the information was before the meeting—that it was “up to you to capture for South Caro lina the Irish potato market of the United States and make Charleston the first port of the South by means of dairy and canned products.” Pythian Officers Installed.

WHAT MADE STANDARD OIL. MAN’S STRANGE NATURE. . Pan oi the Livestock Show activi ties in Chicago included judging the healthiest boy and girl in the UnitcY States. Thelma Svarstad, a South Dakota girl, who won the femajc champion ship, is seventeen years old, blonde, strong, weighs 122 pounds, is 5 feet 2 inches tall, drinks plenty of milk, no tea or coffee, and expects to be a teacher. The boy champion is William To bias, of Michigan, fifteen years old, who weighs 1J0 pounds, is 5 feet 6 inches tall, likes boxing, admires Jack Dempsey, also drinks lots of milk. Milk dealers, please notice this in your advertisements. From a livestock—and many other —points of view, these arc fine Amer ican children. But somewhere in America there is a little baby shivering in its moth er's arms, delicate, with a thin little body, a big head, wide anxious eyes, that some day will do things the healthiest boy and girl will never do. Write that down for your comfort, if you have a child that isn't so ro bust. f - • Henry Ford’s offhand statement, “No successful boy ever saved money,” was not meant literally. He meant that it was better to spend for information than merely to save a few dollars. Thomas A. Edison, his intimate friend, “never had * any money until he got so much that he couldn’t spend it.” The other “world’s richest man,” John D. Rockefeller, is surely “a suc cessful boy,” and did save money. He advises young and old to save now, as he hands each one a ten-cent piece with a smile worth a good deal of money. Mr. Rockefeller will tell you, “Save money, not chiefly for the money you save, but because saving teaches self control, and that’s the be ginning of wisdom.” Ford has high respect for John D. Rockefeller. He said to this w’riter, “I never saw John D. Rockefeller but once. But when I saw that face I knew what made Standard Oil’* FOR SATISFACTORY RESULTS ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel. Walk Around World Nathan and Zundcl Rubin, recently in New York and now walking to ward Mexico, are making a tl»e-world hike for a $15,000 prize of Cored by the Lithuanian government. Strange is the nature of man. In New York a young man confesses to. strangling a fifteen-year-old girl whom he loved. He savs she wanted to kiss him. That is his excuse. At Brunswick. Ga., Walter Raw lins, in prison, saw his wife, whose complaint had jailed him for wife beating. He seized a carving knife, dashed from the prison, overtook his wife, stabbed her several times. His excuse is: ”T loved my wife so tkat I would rather see her dead than with some body else.” The fair Jessica Brown, a Stage beauty, once married to Lord North- esk, yesterday married Mr. Cornelius. Lord Northesk, as her retired hus band, came to America led by his am bition to be the fifth husband of Peggy Hopkins Joyce. .And so h goes. P. A. Baxley, of Blackville, Barn well County, who \yon the first dis trict prize of $300 in the lower dis trict of the cotton contest, gives a striking example of what can be done under adverse conditions when there is sufficient determination to attack and overcome obstacles. Mr. Baxley’s cotton was produced under probably as heavy boll weevil infestation as has ever occurred in the State, but by a judicious and consistent use ofjjpis on the infestation in Mr. Baxley’s field was kept down to a minimum and a remarkably heavy setting of bolls wag obtained and these bolls were safely protected beyond the point of boll weevil damage. Unfortunately, just at the time many of the bolls were cracked, the September storms came on and caused a heavy loss of lint through rotting. Men of the exten*- sion service who visited Mr. Baxley’s field constantly throughout the season are of the opinion that Mr. Baxley lost nearly a bale of cotor.' per acre through this rotting. In spite of this loss, Mr. Baxley picked 3,710 pounds of lint on his five acres with an average staple length of 1 1-16 inch. This cotton was of the Coker-Cleveland No. 5 variety. In fertilizing his cotton, Mr. Baxley used 9,000 pounds of the 12-4-4 mix ture and a side application of 1,000 pounds of sulphate of ammonia. His total of all costs was $403.26. The total value of seed and lint was $743.83, leaving him a profit on the five acres of $340.57. Mr. Baxley makes the following in teresting statement in- regard to his field: “Cotton was planted in 3 feet 9 inch rows and chopped to one stalk aver aging about 12 irches on drill. The cotton was chopped as soon as up good and all sulphate applied by hand. Cultivating was done mostly with scrapers, just often enough to keep down- grass. All cultivating was done deep. After siding, the middles were run out round points. The weather was very wet and caused the weevil to increase very fast in such large cotton and making it hard to fight the weevil. However, I feel that I got good results from the use of poison, all applied at night while con ditions were good. The cotton was blown so badly the latter part of July that I could not get into the field to apply further poison*. I believe two more applications would have paid. So much rain just as the cotton reach ed maturity caused a great deal of the cotton just ciacked to rot and many lower bolls to rot. This, I feel, cut my yield considerably. This cotton was planted or. a rocky coil with clay subsoil. Cotton has been planted on this piece of land for the past three years; preceeding this, cantaloupes and peavir.o hay was planted for about five years.” • Bank No. 314.
