Ro) Jones Believe* Info'malion DiMemmated a» to Content rf Much Beneht. South Carclnna should take every «t*s» possible to profit from the wide publicity received during recent yeara a* a result of the high iodine content •f it, fruits, vegetable#, milk, butter. che*«c. egg<* and *thcr pioducta, de clared J. Roy Jones, Ci mmivsioner of agriulture, commerce and industries, fallowing a viait to States in the Mid dle W est, where he discussed this subject. At the la-t session of the legislature the work of the natuial resource* commission wa, transferred to th<- department of agriculture. “It in the desire of this department fo keep this very important matter befoie the people of South Car lina and of the who’e country so far a* our facilities will permit,” Commis- AJoner Jone 8 said. In this connecticn Mr. Jones pointed out that the hundreds of thousand- cf wuroen in South Carolina could be of' great value to the agricultujai inter est of the State. “The woWen.’ he said, “are the buyer s { r the home table. If they demand S.-uth Caroli na products the pterchants will sup- | ly them and that wou-d mean much Id the farmers of oui State.” "‘A great ileal of valuab'e informa tion and scientific data was gathered by Uie natural re-ouices commission doling its existence and it i s cur aim to make the nu>4 of thi- material." he said. The work cf th? department of ag riculture has been so heavy since he became commissioner last March that it ha s not beert possible to carry out his plans fir the natural resource? division with his limjfed force, Mr. Jones said. “However!” he ekplained, '“l am mapping out a campaign which will posh to the front the natural ad vantages possessed by the products '■of South Carolina. And in this con- a * nection I wish to enlist the active co operation of every w’oman in the State *r»d of all who aie interested in the further and continued development of our resources.” The work of the natural resources oommiseion which wa s carried on for several years by direct appropria tion of the legislature was placed in the department of agriculture last ariater, and a small appropriation was iadodrd in the department’s budget Tor a director of this division. It is understood to be the plan of Mr. June* to push forward this work with lit regular staff assisting thi f direc tor. A great deal of materia! gathered fr m vaiiou* section* of the State dur ing the past few year* and placed in pamphlet form is now in the office of the agricultural commissioner. He plan* to u*e this to the best advan tage and to urge the people cf South Carolina to join in carrying on the campaign which, he believe*, will !e*ult in increasing the consumption of vegetable*, fiuits, canned good* end all manufactured or packaged M odj| in the State. Improved Business Conditions Noted ( hrirolet Motor Company Report* an Increase in Service and Part* Butineaa. Comboiating the many indica tion* of wide*pie*H imprevement in busine** condition?, M. D. Douglas general putts and service manager of the C hevrJet Motor Company, re- ports that from the lew* print in March up to the present. Chevrolet dealers have experienced an increase of over 26 per cent, in their sen ice and pat t- bu?iness. This i> the first appreciable and sustained rise since the decline began in 1929 and completely leverses *he trend that se* :n at that time. Tru°. the yeiM^ —staUeu t,ut—W.Lh -it _ .-light spurt, but this w-s quickly stop ped - in March when the deva>tating if- febt's of the bank holiday halted busi- ness cf ail kinds. The rise in service sales up tv* the time the NRA provis on? went inb^ effect was accompanied by an increase in employment quite generally leport- ed from th? 9.500 dealers represent ing the company. “Our dealers,” said Mr. Dauglas, “are fully prepared to meet this situ ation. They ate putting forth a special effort in September and Oc tober to supply the demands of Chev rolet owners who are flocking into our dealer establishments for service and parts. “Seveial factor? are^preminent in the improved demand for service. There is, of course, the changed psy chology of the American people. Then, too, hundred* of men have gone back to work. And last, but not least, is the realization cf car owners that it is unsafe and costly to drive car s that are not in good condition. We are ready to meet the demand. Every service station in the country has been geared up to a higher speed with more man power and adequate parts and service stocks.” Advertise in The (toopie Sentinel Priceless Peas V I N soups, with fish, with ipeats, with fowl, alone and mixed with other vegetables, and in salads and souffles, canned peas form a priceless ingredient of every meal.
