Tll'ton’w Institutions.
■ No. 2.
The Tifton Cunning and Manufac
turing Company is an institution in
tlie success of which the people of
this entire section of country should
he enthusiastically interested. It has
helped and will continue to help them
solve the heretofore knotty problem
of what to do witli the fruits and veg
etables raised on their farms that can
not be profitably disposed of in the
markets. It will also help to answer
the question what, shall our furincrs
plant in place of cotton, the grow
ing of which has become unprofitable
to them.
The company is offering just as
libaral inducements for the people to
engage in truck farming as possible,
They will sell them seed at tlie very
lowest prices and wait till tlie crop
is marketed for their money. They
allow the fuTnier to sell their first and
best products in tiio markets and take
the remainder at a fair valuation
provided they are delivered in good
condition for canning purposes.
This institution hus been inaugu
rated for the benefit of tlie farmer
and they should make the best possi
ble use of it. Instead of sitting idly
by and saying they can’t laise vegeta
bles at tlie prices offered by the coin
puny they should give the matter a
thorough test. The money arising
from tht/sale of vegetables—in the
spring and summer-cornea at a time
when our farmers need it most to
save them from going in debt, and it
strikes us as the best means to pre
vent their incurring indebtedness
that must be paid in the fall. Our
people are all struggling to establish
themselves upon a cash basis, and
they should treat nothing carelessly
that gives promise of effecting the
desired result.
