The Beginning Of
Refrigeration
(A. C. L. Railway Bulletin)
One day almost sixty years ago
the traffic manager of the Wil
mington & Weldon Railroad, later
a part of the Atlantic Coast Line,
received a visit from the owner of
a farm at a small station about 15
miles from Wilmington. This gen
tleman had been experimenting in
growing strawberries and had
found that he could produce un
usually fine berries early in • the
spring. Since the local market for
strawberries was quite limited he
had made some shipments to the
eastern markets, but refrigerator
cars were unknown at that

. H
this plan was abandoned. It is
W'orth noting, however, that the
idea of using such “chests” was
later successfully worked out and
hundreds Of thousands of crates of
sarly Florida strawberries are mar
keted each year in the “pony ex-
oress” containers, not much dif
ferent from the early chests that
were tried out on the Wilmington
& Weldon.
The next plan was to construct
“small baggage transfer cars sim
ilar to those used * * * in handling
baggage across the North River
Ferries” at Jersey City. (This, re
member, was 60 years ago.) Small
trucks were provided so the con
tainers could be easily handled.
These cars had “Chambers for re
icing from the top, drain pipes,
thermometers, and other necessary
equipment.” Each “car” held about
fifty 32 quart crates of berries.
“When loaded they were placed on
flat cars and carried by the night
passenger train.”
So far as is known this was the
first attempt to provide refrigera
tion for perishable railroad traffic
in the Southeast. The plan had-
a far reaching effect. “The stim
ulus given to strawberry culture
on the Weldon Road, and the be
lief that the climate, soil and
northern cities’ market conditions
would justify the cultivation of
miscellaneous perishable crops, in
cited farmers along the entire line
to commence the production of
crops.” Agents of the Atlantic
Coast Line aided in “educating the
farmers in all the details of grow
ing, harvesting, packing, shipping
and marketing. These efforts were
crowned very rapidly with success.”
Thus the way was paved for the
commercial production of fresh
fruits and vegetables in the South
east. Later, of course, the mod
em refrigerator car was developed
and enabled nationwide distribu
tion of these commodities. In con
trast with the few crates of straw
berries whose successful marketing
was made possible by the first ef
forts at refrigeration, shipments
of perishables produced along the
rails of the Atlantic Coast Line are
now counted in thousands of cars,
’ll fact, from Virginia to Florida
the sections served by the Coast
Line have come to be known as the
Nation’s Garden because of the
great quantities of fruits and vege-
ables they furnish for less favored
parts of the country.
Today the Atlantic Coast Line is
as keenly alert to the desirability
if co-operating witl^ growers to
provide proper transportation for
heir crops as was its constituent
’ine whoy! early efforts first made
possible the establishment of a
new and profitable form of agri
culture.

If you have a garden don’t
throw away coffee grounds, ban
ana skins, and similar material.
These things have fertilizing value
and may be added to the compost
heap. Add cull vegetables and
weeds. The basis of the compost
heap may be sod or leaves. Ani
mal manure should be added if
available. In addition to waste
matter, the compost heap will be
helped by bone meal, superphos
phate, or phosphate rock. Addition
of lime or wood ashes will hasten
the decomposition.

Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many
children’s diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen
sive medical treatments, without reali
zing that worms arc the cause of their
troubles. Yet, the symptoms are the
same as in children, loss of appetite

Taking the country as a whole,
fire insurance rates were lower in
1929 than ever before, according to
statements of all fire insurance
companies filed in their respective
states. Fire damage to insur^l
property was also lower than in
1928.
Average rate of lire insuranae
premium in 1929 was 39 cents per
$100, compared with an average
rate from 1900 to 1929, inclusive, of
$1.02 per $100. Fire insurance is
rendering an ever increasing ser
vice to the public at constantly
lower rates..
:———
Noah is proof -that we had a
floating population back in the
Bible times. V
Placing a radio station seems
utterly 'different from planting
corn or cotton, but the two have
one point in common. The right
kind of soil is important to the
corn or cotton crop, and the right
kind of soil is important to the
mest effective operation of the
radio station. This fact came out
when a representative of a large
concern manufacturing radio
transmitting apparatus visited the
United States Department of Agri
culture and asked to examine soil-
survey reports and maps as a guide
to the placement of radio stations
in the Middle West and Southwest.
This use of the soil-survey records
was new to the soil specialists of
the department. .
The radio expert explained that
engirreecs have found that radio
transmission is better over' soils
which are retentive of moisture
than over drier soils. They believe
this is because the drier soils ab
sorb the radio waves to a greater
degree than do the moist soils. He
said that the soil maps and the
detailed descriptions of the struc
ture, the texture, and the arrange
ment of the layers of soils which
are included in the department’s
soil-survey reports have already
proved useful in locating stations.
Soil-survey reports are in de
mand by settlers in search of pro
ductive lands, by farmers seeking
to make the • best use of their
fields, by engineers in building
roads, by bank and mortgage con
cerns in estimating the loan value
of farms. These uses are familiar,
but it will be news to most soil
surveyors that their work also lo
cates the spots on the earth which
provide the best sounding boards
for radio transmission. ’
I. Plotting the Death of Jesus (vv.
1-5).
Christ witli divine insight predicted
not only the fact of His death, but its
time mid manner., The Jewish author
ities in secret conclave were plotting
to-silence His voice by putting him to
death. In spite of themselves they
were moving in the line of God’s de
cree.
II. Mary of Bethany Anoints Jesus
(vv. <M3).
1. The meaning of the act (vv. 0/7).
This anointing occurred when Jesus
was at meat in Simon’s house. Mary
had the keenest apprehension of all
the disciples. By sitting at His feet
in loving fellowship, she obtained a
grasp of truth which none of the
other disciples had. She saw that His
body was to he broken and tin* His
precious life was to go out. She en
tered into fellowship with His suffer
ing'; and the joy of His resurrection.
2. The indignation of the disciples
(vv. 8, 9).
The action of the disciples is in
strange contrast with Mary’s love.
8. Mary defended by Christ (vv. 10-
13).
Jesus could "not allow His most ap
preciative disciple to lie under this
censure, so He came to her rescue. As
a result of Christ’s defense. Judas is
so stinglngly rebuked that he hastens
away to betray his Lord.
HI. Jesus Betrayed (vv. 14-50).
1. The bargain of betrayal (vv. 14-
18).
Satan so completely had the mas
tery over Judas that he sold his Lord
for the price of a slave (Ex. 21:32).
2. The betrayal announced (vv. 20-
25).
While they wore eating the Pass-
over Jesus made this announcement.
Who knows hut that the reason for
the announcement at this time was to
give Judas an opportunity to repent?
The sorrowful quest : on in verse 22
indicates that the disciples did not
seem to suspect ope another, hut di
rected personal attention to them
selves.
IV. The Disciples Earned (vv. 81-
3o)* •
This took place as they walked irom
the upper room to the garden of (leth-
semane. Jesus plainly told them, “All
ye shall be offended because of me
this night,” quoting Zechariah 13:7 as
proof. Though He told th<»m of the
darkness \yhich was gathering, yet He
gave them a glimpse of the coming
light, lie said, “After I am risen again
I will go before you into Galilee.”
V. Jesus Praying (vv. 36-4(1).
1. The place—the Garden of Geth-
semane (v. 86).
Gethsenmne means oil press. It was
a place some three-fourths of a mile
east of Jerusalem, where oil was
crushed out of the olives.
2. His companions (v. 37).
Pol or, James and John. The same
disciples who had been with Him on
the Mount of Transfiguration are per-
nritted' to go with Him into tire deep
shadow of the Garden. They slept,
while He prayed.
3. Jesus sorrowing even unto death
(vv. 87, 3S).
The cans© of His suffering was not
primarily physical, but spiritual. The
physical is not to he minimized, hut
the burden of sin—tho world’s sin—
was pressing heavily upon Him. He
was being made sin for us (IT Cor.
5:21).
4. The prayer itself (v. 39).
“O my Father, if it he possible, let
this cup pass from me.” What was
this cup? It was not pea ye r tfl*be de
livered from the cross. The idea that
He desired to escape from the cross
and thus stop short of His redemptive
work is not to be entertained. Re
demption through the sacrifice of
Himself was the supreme purpose of
His coming into the world. The holi
ness and perfection of His nature
moved Him to shrink from the moun
tain of sin which was resting upon
Him. Though the cup was bitter. He
bowed in submission to the Father’s
will.
