A MONEY CROP
r. q. M'GREGoR, EXPERT, TALKS

R. B. McGregor, manager OF the
Satsuma orchards in Glynn county, is
of the opinion that the dewberry

soil is well adapted to its production.
Discussing the matter yesterday, he
said:
Another paying crop that should
receive the attention of Glynn county
farmers is the dewberry
In North Carolina the soil in many
of the large dewberry fields is a
coarse sand Fertilizers are applied
literally to plantations on such soils.
In another section clay loans and
other soils are used for dewberry
fields, and if they are fertile, less
plant food need be added.
"As the dewberry has very deep
root, it is able to get moisture from
a considerable depth and is, there

berries should not be set on wet soil
The plants are usually set during the
winter and early spring, and they
should be set as soon as possible aft

in futures on foodstuffs was proposed
today by Senator Thomas, democrat,
OF Colorado, as an amendment to the
administration espionage bill.
Senator Thomas said he had re-
ceived scores of demands that gam
bling in necessities of life be stopped
by congress. He cited the recent
soaring of May and July wheat fu-
lures in the Chicago market to show
the need of immediate action to stop
food gambling"
Opposing the amendment, Senator
Overman, of North Carolina, in charge
OF the bill plead against "loading
down" the espionage measure with
irrelevant" amendments. Although,
he said, the Thomas amendment aD-
pealed to him in many respects, il
should be considered later with the
food control bill
A similar plea was made by Sen
ator Lewis, Of Illinois, who said, how
