I?** FIND IODINE CONTENT IS HEAVY IN ALL SECTIONS AM«ly»ca of VeceUbl«H Show AIL Countie* Produce Foodstuffs Rich in Elemedi Necessary to Health.—Cconuission GItm Fifurts. Results of analyses of South Caro lina vegetables and fruits for their iodine and other mineral content*, which arc being transmitted to the natural resources commission in Col umbia by the Research laboratory in Charleston, show that high iodine content necessary for the relief of the goiter-scourged regions exists in a wide variety of vegetables and fruits in every section* of the State. In order that the figures may be under stood, it is only necessary to recall that Dr. William Weston has pointed out that a four-ounce South Carolina Irish potato contains sufficient iodine for one day to relieve and prevent goiter, and that the technical labora tory figures for South Carolina Irish potatoes, averaging a large number of samples from different counties, are 211 parts per billion, while Horry cab bage goes up to 644, and in another comer of the State, up in Greenville, cabbage runs even higher than* the average for Irish potatoes; Richland peaches run to 285; turnip tops in Union go to 518 and in Greenville to r>51. South Carolina asparagus ranges from 117 to 185 as against 17 for California, and South Carolira lettuce goes to 754. Laurens onions go to 186; Kershaw peanut* run high and ripe peas in Edgefield reach 192. Unaffected Hy Looking. The tests show that the iodine con tent is not affected hy cooking or pickling. Cucumbers are very high in iodine content, when grown in South Carolina soil, and the dill pick les made from these cucumbers show the same resetion. Pecans grown in Fairfield have hoen tested; hlueber- f ries from Horry; broccoli grown in Chartesor goes above 1.600; beets, carrots, collards. Isujrens oats, Hamp ton sweet peppers. Williamsburg cu cumbers, Richland dill pickles, Dor chester squash running to 752; sweet potatoes in the State average 100; beets averaging nearly 800. and but ter going five times as high as the highest analysis for butter from the goiter regions. It may he noted that | Oregon peaches show 11 as against the 285 shown by Richland peaches. South Carolina tomatoes are run ning from 84 to 273 as against Cali fornia’s analysis of 17 by Doctor Mc- Clerdon, professor of physiological chemistry, University of Minnesota. In the meantime, in a publication entitled “Build Wisconsin,” recently sponsored by the agricultural com mittee of the Wisconsin Bankers' as sociation, 26 community building ad vertisements are suggested to be run in local newspapers, and in the sug gested advertisement for September 16th occur* this sentence, which will perhaps be news to most people in- South Carolina: “With the exception of chickens, all annmals also require iodine to prevent goiter ard hairless pigs.” An average of the figures for 13 towns in Minnesota shows 71 per cent, of the high school girls affected with goiter, the percentage in St. Paul of high school girl* affected being 73. The average for high school girls in Houghton County, Michigan is 71. In Touch With Authorities. Doctor Weston is in close personal touch with the medical authorities of the country with regard to this high iodine content of South Carolina vege table* and fruits, and through the natural resources commission tl)e mes sage is being carried to the goiter- stricken areas. The commission held a spechl meeting in its office in* the J^tarte House Tuesday, Apr*il 23. to further perfect and develop its plans and extend the scope of its work. The wide interest which has been aroused amorg the people who will demand South Carolina food products is al ready being reflected hy the press of those sections and of the entire coun try. latest reports from the Charleston laboratory, received by the natural resources (ommittion* Saturday, show ed the following figure* for South Carolina asparagus grown in Aiken.

Ten Aeparaguii grower* in South Caro lina, like other grower*, ate having their misfortune*, although they are receiving very uitiafactory price*. The ur usually cool weather in Cali fornia April 6th teduced shipments from that State very sharply, the average daily movement for the en tire dountry dn»pped from 63 car; April 4th to 40 cats April 9th. How ever, the extremely warm weather in the E%st at about the earn* time started movement from New Jersey, and presert indication* are that the movement from South Carolina will close around May 1st, or about ten days earlier than usual. The South Carolina shipping season usually ends as soon as the New Jersey movement becomes heavy. The movement from South Carolina Monday. Tuesday ami Wednesday. April 8, 9 ard 10, totaled 75 carloads, the heaviest movement on record from the State during any three day period, but during the same three days last week, because of cool, rairy weather, only 31 cars rolled. The movement from the State to April 17th this sea son totals 303 cars, the season’s movement will probably fall below the «mrly estimates of 500 can. The average net return of the South Carolina growers for this season, has been around S3.50-M per dozen-bunch crate. With another two weeks move ment at such an average, they* would have a very satisfactory return per acre for the season, although the unfavorable weather has caused much of the “grass” to fall below its usual xjuality. Jobbing sales in the larger ISafcftern markets Wednesday, April 17th, were as follows: Colossal, $4.50- $6; fancy $3.50-15.25; choice, $2.75- $3 .25 for branded stock, with some California fancy stock selling slightly higher. The Carolina “grass” as a role is selling at the same level or alightly higher than the California ^ItOCK. -*1 Tile green pe* movement from South CaroKra 4s well under way, emrlots starting from Lake City i last Break. Nineteen cars tnm the State April l*h, but this stock is finding the Eastern mar kets fairly well supplied with peas from other sections. Jobbing sales Mor<iay of last week were mostly $1.75-$2 for bu«hel hampers, with considerable stock from this State re ported as being only of ordinary quali ty and sellmg at $1*$125 per hamper. The acreage of green pea* in South Carolir a this season is estimated at 2,400 acres as compared with 3,100 last year. The string bean movement ig ex pected to get under way shortly after May 1st, from an acreage of 500 a*» compared to 800 last year. Useful Little Animal Victim of Ignorance The shrew is « tiny animal which Is to be found In many parts of the world, but not in any great numbers anywhere for the reason that It Is, like the snake, greatly misjudged and is killed on sight by persons who are familiar with the superstitions sur rounding It. This diminutive animal devours insects of all kinds and in this respect it is of great benefit to farmers in particular and mankind in general. In a book published in 1658 it is mentioned that the common shrew *‘is a ravening beast . . . it beareth a cruel mind, desiring to hurt everything; there is no creature that It loveth. They are fraudulent and take their prey by deceit and a lot more.” It was believed that the shrew poi soned cattle. In some English coun try districts it is still thought that if one passes over the foot of a man or touches a foot of a beast lameness is brought on. The cure for this is a cruel one. A shrew is captured, a hole Is bored In an ash tree, and the live animal Is pushed In. The entrance of the hole is sealed. When it is supposed that the shrew’s body is decayed suf ficiently, the bole Is opened, a twig inserted, and if this is passed over the lame part the man or beast is sup posed to recover. It Is difficult to be lieve that such ancient supersti tions are still observed In some of tbe distant country districts. —■ ewe Mias Willie Cave, of Olar, is spend ing the week with her sister, Mia.

This dealer smid— "Thousands* are finding best gasoline i This prophecy is the grand center of the Old Testament The bond servant of Jehovah with great wisdom glori ously executes the divine purpose at tbe cost of great suffering. I. Tbs Servant's Triumph (52:13-15). By the servant here is meant the coming Messiah (42:1). 1. His wisdom (v. 13). “He will deal prudently/’ for his name Is “Counsellor” (9:6). He was filled with the spirit of wisdom and understanding (11:2). 2. He shall be exalted (v. 13). He was to be extolled and magnified because he was the “Mighty God (9:6), even Immanuel.” Because of Oirist’s devotion to His task of re demption, God has highly exalted Him and given Him a name which Is above every name (Phil. 2:9). 3. The appearance of the Servan: (v. 14)» Because of His marred “visage,” He wholly disappointed the expecta tion of the carnal minds'who looked for ontward signs of royafty and woridy greatness. Jesus, as Jeho vah’s servant, was tortured and beat en by men as He went about doing the business committed to him. 4. The issue of His ministry (v. 15). “He shall sprinkle many nations.” This reveals Him as the great High Priest sprinkling the nations with His blood, cleansing them from their sins. Just as the people were aston ished with the silence of Jesus In the midst of His shameful treatment, so shall the kings and great men of the earth be dumb before Him when the suffering Servant shall be exalted. II. The Servant Despised and Re jected (38:1JI). L The unbelief of the Jews (v. 1). (1) They disbelieved the words of the prophets. (2) They did not recognise the hand of the l.ord la the miracles and wonders which He wrought. 2. The origin of the Servant (v. 2). He sprang out of the stomp of Judaism. Tbe sad condition of the people at that time la expressed by “dry com.” 3. The Man of Sorrow* (v. 8). He was afflicted and rejected. III. The Vicarious Suffering of the Servant (33:4-0). 1. Hla griefs and sorrows were onri (v. 4). This awful suffering was looked upon by the world as occa sioned by aln—“we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God. and afflicted.” 2. He was beaten for os (v. 6). That which was nor due was meted out to Him. Observe the words, “wounded," “brulaed,” “despised.” “stripes**—how awful they picture Hla treatment, and yet “our” shows that Ills suffering was vicarious. 3. The reason for (v. 6). All humanity, Jews and Gentiles, had gone astray. God laid upon Him tbe Iniquity of us all. IV. The Death of the Servant (53:7-9). L The strange silence (v. 7). He opened not Hla mouth. He went as a iamb to the slaughter. “He answered them never % word, inso much that the governor marveled greatlj*' (Matt 27:14). 2. Unconcern of multitude (v. 8). They failed to discern the fact that He suffered in their stead. 3. Burled with the wicked and the rich (v. 9). The prophecy was fulfilled in His crucifixion between two thieves and burial in Joseph’s tomb. V. The Servant's Ultimata Victory (vv. 10-12). 1. His sufferings expressed the di vine will (v. 10). The Lord Himself laid this burden upon Him, and through His suffer ings the law was vindicated and re demption was accomplished. 2. A spiritual progeny resulted from His death, (v. 10). The fuodamental law of the uni verse, which Is life out of death, found supreme expression In His death on the cross (John 12:24). 3. Through death shall come to realization His fondest hope (v. 11) He shall see the travail of His soul and shall be satisfied. 4. The divine reward (v. 12). The divine Conqueror shall share the spoils of victory- Ha Baras Oar Sicknassas When the even was comet they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils; and He cast' out the spirits with Hla word, and healed all that were sick; that It might be fulfilled which was spoken by Eaalaa the prophet, saying.
