I'D like TO call attention to the

status Of men on strike. We hold they

are merely suspended.

Succeeding With Asparagus
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Congressman James + Byrnes, who
made short speech at the annual
meeting of the South Carolina Aspar-
agus Growers association in Ridge
Springs recently, said that this or
gahisation was "tl1e greatest forward
step in agriculture in the lower part
'of the state within his recollection" !"
The Williston Way believes that in
this judgment Mr.. Byrnes is probably
well within the mark; not because this
association has promoted good feeling
among it's members and not because
it is now nearing the million dollar
mark in the value Of it's annual out
put, but because cit is demonstrating
that cooperative marketing, properly
manager. is not only practicable but
the only feasible thing for the farm
er."
It is only latterly that the 'aspara-
gus growers have gotten their asso-
citation on sound basis, For long
time, says the Williston Way, it was
an association in name cniy SO far as
the actual selling Of the crop was
corcertied. But about year ago II
set up real organization "and to-
day." says the Way, "after having

During the past season IT was stat

OF Ridge Springs, 116 refrigerated
cars of asparagus were shipped ou,
by the association members and with
express shipments nearly 10000
crates OF Dixie asparagus went to the

to secure reduction in refrigeration

contending, and after a thorough sur

One of the most valuahi,. lesson.
the members of the South Carolina
Asparagus Growers association hav,.
learned is in grading and packing
their crop. Chief Inspector W. Ii.
Wooley stated at the recent annual
meeting that fully two-thirds of the
members are now putting out pract-
cally perfect asparagus and told Of
one grower who offered him a dollar
If a single sprig of the wrong size
could be found in one of his packages.
The inspector, much to his surprise
failed to earn the dollar.
With such spirit it is not surpris-

confidently predict that the asparagus

Its infancy and that it has a bright
future before il

Motor Guide
Shows Nations Beauties

Washington, Oct. 27.-Although it
is not generally known that Uncle
Sam is in the buide book business,
one Of the most interesting guides
to motorist routes throughout the
"Golden West" is that recently pub
lished by the u. S. Geological Survey.
The great variety of mountain seem
cry to be found in Colorado and the
panoramas of the plateaus and des-
erts of Utah, is the theme of the lat
est addition to the series which the
Geological Survey has been publish
ing at intervals since 1915. Specifi-
cally, the route described follows that
Of the Denver and Rio Grande West
ern railroad from Denver to Salt Lake
City.
The guide book, which may be OBJ
tanned at the department for one dol
lar, not only treats of the scenery, re-
sources and the human activities Of
the region traversed, but explains the
forms of the mountain plains and can
yQns along the route, how they have
been developed by the ancient terres-
trial forces. 1t describes the rock
strata which unde-ly the country and
which have controlled the forms Of
the landscape. Many Of the beds Of
these rocks are most interesting, for
they contain the remains Of strange
animals, now extinct, that roamed the
country ages ago.
The skeletons Of great monsters
have been unearthed in many places
o;ong the route, and even their tracks,
preserved In sandstone, have been
found.
The rocks also contain the metal
liferous ores that have made Colorado
and Utah famous the world over and
have added untold millions of dollars
to the countrys wealth. The guide
book gives interesting expositions Of
these rocks and precious minerals, de-
scribed by mineralogists and geolo-
gists. The history of the mining dis
tricts passed along the route forms
one Of the most fascinating and ad-
vcnturpus chapters in the country's
own history. The most interesting Of

The Lowly Ps.aus in Trouble

The peanut war kas gone int. court,
thanks to the Sherman act, according
to The Nations business. If interna-
tional unpleasantnessss would follow
the example of the improgl;o over
peanuts and resort 10 the tribunal of
justice, it would be a happier world.
The affair Of the peanuts has not
been without its bitter feelings, and
has not involved matters of small con-
sequence. When peanuts come from
the ground, they need cleaning and
shelling. In course Of time the grow
ers have organized q cooperative as
sociation. The concerns making bus
mess of cleaning and shelling peanuts
have formed trade association.
Between the two organizations
there has been something of a feud.
The growers alleged that the clean
ers and shelters depressed prices, to
the loss Of the former and the gain of
the latter. The growers even under
took to have their peanuts cleaned
and shelled by concern which was
not in the membership of the trade
association. ,f
A query that bobs up in the mind
of the casual observer is, where did
the cleaners and shellers' association
expect their members to get business
when the growers had been reduced
to bankruptcy and switched to some
other crop like mushrooms or chick
ems, upon which peanut machines can.
