Saturday's Koek Hill Herold, John T. Roddny, who In ever wuleav orlng to devise some scheme thut will lx? of prnctlini Iwiu'ilt lo.jiwli Hill ami surrounding community, In at pros ent working qu h plan to organize what might be aptly toriued a "Sure Haie Produce Company." Tho foiu'tloii of t lu> proposed company would Ia? to buy all prodtwe brought Into Koek Hill !?) farmers of tln> surrounding country. Mr. lloilUoy baa already Interested ft number of prominent business men who will take stock ftiul ho will l>e glad to discuss I Ik* proixwltlon with an other* who might l>e interested. The plan pro|s?sed hy Mr. ltmldey I* ladleved to Ih? the aolutlon of the marketing problem, Tho formation of such a company guarantor to farm ers that anything thoy bring 111 would bo bought. Tho company would keep tn close tomb with commission mer chants ami dealer* throughout the country and would pay tho ?, highest possible price for tho produce. The concern would lw managed hy ft man thoroughly familiar with fills line of business, in order that tho surplus could be aold to neighboring cities ami towns. The farmer could Hell hi* pro duce to the merchant or to tho house wives direct, if ho desired, but In case he had ft sur|flus left name could be disposed of to tho company. In this way he would have to carry no sur plus products home. lie could sell direct to the company In bulk and save himself the trouble of addling, but this would be entirely optional. speaking of the plan with a Herald man Mr Itoddcy stated that the main object sought would be to assure a market for all produce at all times, thus encouraging tho farmers to grow more produce. When It Is found that there Is a ready market the farmers will be ready to co-operate with the produce business and in a few years there would be built up a profitable business in this section as the firm would have little trouble in disposing of fresh produce to neighboring cities. Each yea r there Is shipped into H?s?k Hill for consumption nearly a , half million dollars worth of produce that could be raised and supplied from York county. Tj.ils is sent to sections where the land is higher and labor is higher than 'In York county, not to speak of the difference In climatic con ditions and on top of this should be added freight and commissions to mid dlemen. These last Items alone mean a considerable increase in price. "" It is to overcome this state of af fairs that Mr. Itoddey proposes to form this company. of course, he would not expect to have all produce used in the county supplied by the county from the start, but by assuring a mar ket h?' believes the business could be built up year by -year -until- in live or ten years only a nominal sum would leave the county each year for pro duce that could be grown right here at home. "During the past few weeks 1 hftvei learned that farmers brought in pro-] duce and could not dispose of all of it." said Mr, Itoddcy; "Consequently these farmers will be slow to raise produce for sale here. Before we can expect them to raise produce we must provhlr a market for their surplus supply. When we do this we will have solved the marketing problem, also the problem of diversified farm ing. When we provide n rendy mar ket farmers will see that they can make more money growing produce than in growing cotton and this will help us to wean them away from the old crop system. 1 believe that we can easily organize such a company lu liock HUJ. an.) I believe t-hftt 1! wiU mean much for the future growth ahd development of this section." declared Mr. Uoddey.' The promised firm would Imy anything a farmer has to sell, whether it l>e a dozen eggs, or forty dozen eggs; one cow or twenty cows, a load of hay or ten loads of hay. It would cover everything be raises oft the farm." Four Kasley men had a narrow es cape from death when a car left a* bridge and went into the water, ilruce Fennell, the driver; DC- W\ F. Flow ers.
