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.

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.

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.

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. Him
self took our Infirmities, and bare
our alckne«ea.—Matthew 8:16, 17.
