# GHERAW CHRONICLE JOE LINDSAY, Editor An organization of truck farmers should be started in Cheraw now. Enough truck farming is being done In and around Cheraw this year, to "warrant an association. In order to do anything toward marketing truck with any degree of success an organization is necessary. We believe if an association is perperfected it will encourage farmers to plant vegetables and there is no reason why Cheraw should not be a wonderful market for these products. Some one really interested has to take the lead and call others together to get started. Mr. Truck Farmer, get busy and start something. A citizen who l:::s the welfare of our town at heart his called to our attention the poor support being accorded the High School Ball Team. It is noticed this year that although the school has a good ball team the attendance at the games played here so far has been very popr. Not only have fans on the street failed the boys but the school children, who should show school loyalty by turning out almost in a body, have been conspicious by their absence. Nq,w school loyalty properly fostered and encouraged in children cer* tainly means town loyalty later and the parents of our school children should make every effort to allow this spirit to grow by letting the Youngsters attend the games and root for the team. And the fans on the street will get interested and get their money's worth if they attend the game remembering that the "Home Kids" are playing to win for the Old Home Town and are beine Daid with ever.v yell of "well done" that comes from you back in the stand.. Come on, pay the kids what you owe 'em. CirJc league Will Hold Fall Flower Show "We want to have the best "Flower Show" in Cheraw this fall that we've ever had before The Civic League offers $10.00 for the best Chrysanthemum and $5.00 for the best Dahlia and it is time to plant the Chrysanthemums now and the Dahlias a little later. There will be prizes and blue rib' bons for all flowers and potted plants also for the best collection of wild flowers correctly labeled. Mr. C'aston offers a prize of $5.00 t for the best Chrysanthemum raised by a school girl or boy. There will be plants at school house on Friday for those who would like to have them.

Dirty poltroons with a surplus of greed, suck up our earnings and rob us of feed Hence I am muttering, under my breath, Lord, it's a shame, to be govereed to death. o?

This was due, of course, e to the slump in the price of cotton,; Fvprv nno hi* 1 e: and to the fact that poultry and eggs j j el along with all else that is consumed! needed at Some time. 1, j maintained their former high value.

It also marks an early opening of the spring and summer buying an d seems to indicate that even more Ford cars and trucks will be sold in 1 922 than in 1921, which was a banner year. Orders for Ford cars and truck s have already exceeded the supply in | many parts of the country and pure hasers are finding it necessary to accept deferred delivery. The Ford fac tory at Detroit is getting into capacity production as fast as possible, with t he hope of preventing a similar shortage when the spring-summer rush be gins.
