SUCCESSFUL MARKETING DE
PENDS ON CROPS PLANTED
AT RIGHT TIME AND PRO
DUCTION ON LARGE SCALE
With an idea of getting first hand
information tu producing, harvest
ing .and marketing truck crops as
is being nradioed by the glow
ers in Florida, I spent Christmas
v;?ek mostly in the central pan
studying these three problems.
Florida is essentially a fruit and
truck producing state but if her
main crops had been as seriously

affected by insect pests as our mair
crop has been agected by the boll
weevil, Florida would be experi
menting with cotton and other crops
that have been triel out on no com
mercial scale before. We are in
thut position now—trying to find
some new crop to grow on a large
scale that has made money for grow
ers in other places. We are lucky
in having hit upon peppers and I
think they will continue to be our
leading truck crop.
But there are others that will
grow here profitably if planted at
the right season, cultivated prop
erly, harvested and packed in the
way the trade demands. Lettuce

December, January and February
All plant together and when the
main part of the crop is harvested
the buyers quit lettut e until the
next season come around. The
same thing is true with snap beans,
cabbage, strawberries, and vertically
all the truck crops grown. In other
words they have learned the neces
sity of taking into account the
probable market for the crop before
the planting is done. The main bean
planting time there is in February
and the felow who doesn’t get his
planted until the first of April
might as well be playing in the sand.
The same thing is almost true of
those who plant beans in April here
•for the markets are nearly always
glutted before they will reach it.
But Florida gets very' hungry for
beans, tomatoes, lettuce, etc., in
late summer and early fall because
seasons there are not suitable for
i the growth of these crops in sum
mer.
As I see it the great thing we
need to do if we enter the trucking
game is to carefully time our plant
! ings so as to fill in a little gap be-
I tween the Florida and Virgina
crops. Also to plant in sufficient
acreages to insure quantity ship
ments. Four or five acres of cab
bage planted here and there at dif
| ferent times as we had them last
year will almost surely net the
growers a loss. But with the acre
i age doubled and planted at a se
! lected time and all of one variety
SUNDAY SERVICES AT
METHODIST CHURCH
“The Acid Test" will be the sub
ject of the sermon to be preached
by the pastor of the Methodist
church, Rev. Henry H. Jones, next
Sunday morning. The subject at
the evening hour will be “A Cer
tain Request.” Always feel wel
come at the Methodist church. We
are delighted to have you come to
either Sunday School, Prayer Meet
ing, the regular Sunday preaching
services. We are doubly delighted
to see you at all these service.
We announce with pleasure that
on next Sunday morning week
Bishop James E. Dickey, of Waco,
Tex., will preach at the Methodist
church, and that Dr. Luke G. John
son, our presiding elder, will preacir
that evening. The first quarterly
conference will be held then.
the growers could confidently ex
pect a profit. I saw acres and acres
of strawberries in Flo’ida but I did
not see a berry of any variety ex
cept the Missionary. That gives un
iformity of ripening and also of
quality-—tv>3 very necessary points
in successful marketing.
The general method of marketing
there is for the grower to harvest
and pack his crops in standard con
tainers and deliver them to the
platform at the shipping station
where the buyers examine and bid
on his stuff just as they do here on
our cotton when we have it packed
into a bale and deliver it to the
buying centers. The reason they
have such- a system developed there
is because the farmers have produc
ed crops in sufficient quantities to
justify the buyers in giving their
time and thought to it. We can
have strawberry or any other buy
ers here to buy our stuff and pay
for it on the spot if we will only
produce it in sufficient quantities.
An exception to this plan of mar
keting is found among citrus grow
ers. They have a Citrus Growers
Exchange which handies a large
part of the citrus crops. Under this
method the grower pays his mem
bership dues and joins his fellow,
growers in hiring competent men to
dispose of the crop. The grower
doesn’t even pick the fruit off the
trees. Hia only job is to produce
good marketable fruit and turn it
over to the exchange to harvest and
market. This method insures more
uniform grading and packing and
establishes a certain confidence in
the buyer that is hard for the indi
vidual to build up. This method is
growing very rapidly in favor the
last few years and will soon be ex
tended to many other crops. In
fact W* have some good examples
in our own state in our fruit ex
changes, and the cane growers and
watermelon growers in South Geor
gia handle their crops now largely
in this v.ay and the pecan growers
are planning to organize the coming
February.
After all our success or failure
in any of our efforts at farming
depends on systematic planning in
pitching the crops, timing them to
come in as near as possible when
the market most needs them, and
on the effectiveness of our organiza
tion in getting the crops prepared
for and placed on the market. The
individual as a rule cannot compete
successfully against an organized
group handling the same product,
so I think if we ever get anywhere
in the trucking business we will
have to get together.

Before Baby Comes
THERE are thousands of expectant mothers w]p undergo
much useless suffering for months before, as wel as at the
moment when delivery occurs. These months of sufering, with
nerves and vital organs weakened, leave their effet, upon the
child. An eminent physician found the way to stop cuch of this
unnecessary suffering—the same easy way which tiousands of
mothers have used for three generations.

days after a little extra exertion I couldn t walk a step. I £Jt it coming
