The People-Sen/tinel wishes to con gratulate the farmers of Bamberg County on their progressivenesa in growing asparagus for market and to eommen 1 The Bamberg Herald for its efforts in encouraging its production, but a few statements appearing in that paper last week are rather extrava gant and should rot go unchallenged if for no other reason than to keep the record straight. For instance. The Herald says: "While the season did rot officially open until Monday of last week (March 25th) in most asparagus sec tions, Bamberg has been shipping con- fiderabL* gras* for three weeks or more." We wish to call The Herald’s attention to the fact that a Barnwell farmer made the first shipment from this point March 2rd and it is under stood that shipments were made from Elko and Willifton a day or two lie- fore that dati\ although we are not aure about this. Since that time many exprvs* shipments have l»een made, 1 ut the season does not open "officially” until shipments ate made in carlots. This was rot done until March 2f. th, when carloads were ship ped from Barnwell, Elko and Willis- ton. The Herald further ravs: ‘‘Nearly all of the grass grown here is of the green variety which is a better seller than the white or light colored varie ties.” the inference being that other lections grow pn inferior variety. As • matter of fact, asparagus is white or green depending upon the stage at which it is cut. While in r.o way questioning the Yeracity of our esteemed contempor ary. it -s hard to believe that un graded Bamberg County "grass” commands a premium over the graded •nd government-inspected asparagus from other sections. If such is the case, it is probably the first time »uch a thing has happened in the truck-growing industry. All of this is written not with any desire to detract from the accomplish ments of Bamberg County’s fanners . (fop after all they are old Barnwell County farmers under a new name) but merely to correct an erroneous im pression that might be made upon those who are unacquainted with the growing of asparagus, to the detri ment of other "grass”-producing •actions. 1,600 Available for Farm Prizes By Albert T.

In discussing the appointment of so-called "Hoovercrats” to help dis pense G. O. P. patronage in South Carolina, Editor Koester of the Dor chester County Record makes the fol lowing pertinent comment: "Just what is a Hoovercrat? That calls for more talk. It reminds the writer of e black Negro who worked for him and who got angry with a bright mulatto who also worked for him. The Negro exclaimed to the mulatto: ‘I know what I is and Mr. Koester knows what he is, but what is you?' So, what is a Hoovercrat? "Pondering for an answer to the question as to what is a Hoovercrat, the writer decided that a Hoovercrat in the'political world is just what a mule is in the animal world, in that He has no pride of ancestry and no hope of posterity. That is about accurate a description of a Hoovercrat as can be given. If you have a better, send V r 1 ^ \\ " ' CO Fair, and warmer. .
