The pious, hard-driven, WORKOUT, out
| thankful Puritans who sat down at
their tables one November, a few cen
turtles ago, and made the first Thanks
giving Day, never knew to what
lengths they were to drive the In
! genuity of their poor descendants.
But it wasn't their fault after all, that
the preparer Of the Thanksgiving feast
today has to attend just as much to
the turkeys surroundings as to the
turkey itself. It was good enough for
them to have a well-stocked larder
from which could come the turkey, the
celery, the pumpkin pie, the cranber-
ries and all the other goodies which
history puts down to their credit
Even the comparatively recent New
Englanders were content with all
these as long as they looked tempting
and tasted good. But today, even the
important fowl itself is hardly more
important than the ribbons, the can
dies, the favors, the adornments OF
all kinds, which must appear on the
Thanksgiving table.
Don't bother about having too
much to eat" an up-to-date daughter
was heard to say to her New England
mother the other day. IT want plenty
of room for the ribbons and the candy
boxes"
It's the same way with other daugh-
tiers of an esthetic turn Of mind, rath-
er than a practical one, and 1t locks
as If their ambitions to make things
look pretty may be realized this year,
for there is a goodly array Of Thanks
giving favors and table decorations Of
all kinds.
OF course the turkey reigns su-
preme, even If 1t is in paper, and is
seen in all sizes, all kinds, roasted to
a beautiful dark brown as the cook
book says, or standing important and
majestic with it's big fan-shaped feath-
er tail high in the air. In most cases
the favor turkey is meant for candy,
but certain new china turkeys are
mustard cups.

ones In papier mache or tissue paper
which are candy boxes. Fruits and
vegetables Of all kinds seem to be
suggestive Of the season Of feasting,
and many good limitations are found
among the candy box collections.
Goblinesque little men are made of
paper fruits and fixed up to have a
very ~grotesque appearance, and funny
little figures are made of peanuts, and
mounted on cards. Nuts are tied up
in ribbons and are found to be prize
packages for the receiver, for in them
are neatly packed little stick-pins,
whistles, etc., all carefully concealed
within the paper shells.
The place cards allow Of a great
many new designs, and an especially
new feature among these Is some
small mirrors. The chrysanthemum
is the leading flower among the paper
bowers, and those in yellow or orange
seem to be the most desired shades.
Other limitations which are especially
"life-like" are the painted piece of the
pumpkin pie, the tin of Boston baked
beans, the plum pudding and the ear
of corn.

missed from the name, most of theye tracts are
located adjacent to rivers or lakes or ponds,
so that they can be flooded in the late au-
tumn and kept under water until spring. The
berries grow on a vine which nestles close
to the ground in a perfect tangle, and save for
keeping out the weeds and battling with the
insect pests, which are numerous, the cranber-
ries do not require very much cultivation or
attention until harvest time approaches in the
autumn. Then the cranberry grower must look
forward to a period of anxiety, a careful ser
ious scrutiny of the weather. He must
keep close watch on the weather, for If a frost
comes ere the crop Is harvested 1t will work
sad havoc unless the grower has been fore
warned and flooded his bog or built great bon
fires to keep up the temperature.
In years gone by the harvesting of cranber'
ries was done solely by the hand picking meth

Now almost all cranberries are picked by the
aid Of machines, and because It Is tiresoms
work manipulating these machines 1t has come
about that most Of the women and children
have been forced out Of the industry and the
task Is largely In the hands Of men, the more
skillful of whom receive from SO to SIS per day.
The picking machine most extensively used
has the appearance Of a huge wooden SCOOP,
the bottom of which Is made up of a row Of
metal bars, tipped with sharp prongs and set
close together. In. operation this scoop is
showed with some considerable force into the
tangle of cranberry vines and then is drawn up
ward and backward with the result that the
vines which have been caught slip between the
metal bars but leave the berries, which are too
large to pass through the openings, as do the
vines, and In consequence are stripped from

Netherlands also appointed different
dates for public thanksgiving, from
time to time, and in some historical
works there is record of a dispute as
to which of these colonies deserved
the credit for having first inaugurated
the day. Most of the best founded
historians, however, give the credit TO
the New England states.
The Dutch governors OF New Meth
erlands appointed occasional days OF
thanksgiving in 1914, 1645. 1855 and
1904, and the English governors fol-
lowed their example in 1855 and 1850,
and the Protestant Episcopal church
in the United States in its prayer
book, ratified in 1889, recommends for
Thanksgiving day the first Thursday
in November, unless some other day
be appointed by the civil authorities.
There were also occasional recommen-
dations by other religious bodies, but
no regular annual recommendation by
the governor of New York before 1877.
The struggle Of the colonies for In
dependence marks the beginning OF
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1910-11-23

general observances OF days Of thanks
giving in this country. The congress
of TIT, the one which prepared the
articles Of confederation for adoption
by the colonies, adopted a resolution
setting apart the eighteenth day OF
December, TIT. to be observed as a
day Of solemn thanksgiving and
praise throughout the United States.
Washington, during his administra-
ton, issued two thanksgiving procla-
nations, one in 1889 and the other in
1895, just after the suppression Of
the Whisky rebellion" which had
threatened the peace Of the country,
and President Madison issued one
upon the declaration Of peace in
1915. However, in the early years
of the nation the rule was for the CO.
lonial custom to be followed and the
proclamation made emanated from
the governors. The western states,
largely people from New England or
New York, early followed the lead Of
these portions OF the country. AS we
have seen, the annual recommends

their stems and remain in the scoop, whence
they are transferred to the tray which each pick
er has close at hand. An expert picker with a
machine will do the work of from half a dozen
to a dozen hand pickers.
The cranberries as picked on the boys are
placed In huge wooden boxes and transferred
to a nearby frame building, where they are
passed through a machine known as a 'separa.
tor" which takes out all the leaves, twigs and
other foreign matter. Then they are sorted for
the elimination Of any bad or worm-eaten Der
ries and finally are placed in barrels, which are
hauled away to railroad yards to be loaded into
cars to the tune Of from 220 to 240 barrels
to the car, refrigerator cars being used exclu-
siyely. Up to the present time cranberries have
been sold In bulk, but this year sees an innova-
ton in the appearance of evaporated cranberrtes,
for which are claimed all the advantages Of evap-
Grated peaches or apples, and in the Introduction

Bearing cranberry bogs Of the most desir.
able kind cost from $500 to $1,000 per acre,
but in a bumper year a grower may get his
money back the first year, and during the worst
year the industry has known in a decade most OF
the growers made from 10 to 10 per cent on
their investment, and that, too, in spite OF the
fact that cranberries. were so plentiful that they
brought only 50 a barrel, whereas SIS to 81 a bar
rel is accounted an average price, and there have
been years when a famine of cranberries sent
the price up to SO per barrel. g..
