Day and night. with the May pea shipping season at Its peak, the work and hurry and bus tle go on unabated. It makes an Interesting sight. The May pea Is the most read- 1 ily perishable product grown on a largo srale In Northeastern Car- 1 olina. When it Is ready. It must be picked. Even a day or two may mean the difference between good quality stock and bad. between high prices and low ? and between a profit and a deficit, so far as the grower Is concerned. Once the peas are picked, they must be put on Ice and shipped with a minimum of delay. Practi cally all the peas shipped from here are consignd In refrigerator cars, loaded 4460 baskets to the car. In this way. they reach the market In perfect condition ? or the ratlrond must make good any deterioration resulting from gence In king, or from other causes within its control. Refrigerator cars are being iced, night and day by the Crystal Ico A Coal Company from a long Icing ' platform on the Norfolk .Southern yards. Just to the rear of N. How ard Smith's produce warehouse. The platform Is built at the level of the top of the cars, and 800- i pound blocks of Ico are carried ; from tho ground to It by means of a heavy chain conveyor. Atop the platform, the Ice is shunted deftly from the conveyor to the top of the car to be Iced. There It Is broken to bits, big or little, according to the type of the car. and Is loaded Into huge bump ers. one at each end. The hump ers on the average refrigerator car holds about five tons of fee. The peas are loaded In the mid dle section of the car. and the cool air keeps them In proper cond - Honing for marketing. It is not exceptional for <10 cars to be load ed in a single 24 hours period, i more than half a million pounds ? of Ice bo | n g used. .The loading and Icing opera tions have been going on day and night this week. In a hectle rush to put this section's May peas on the market while they are still In good condition. After this w??ek. the rash will be over, commission j men say. and they will be able to rest up a few weeks before tack- 1 ling the annual Job of mark"tlnc some hundreds of thousands of barrels of early Irish potatoes.

This would indicate lhat to get H fair and reasonable price not , over 12 000. 100 bales should 1>" grown this year.
