CAMUEX. SOUTH CAHOIJXA Chronicle l ltlDW, JINK 28, 1012. \ l. Mlll.lt IO. KERSHAW LAND SUITED FOR TRUCK GROWING HO\K>lttNT on FOOT TO <JKT K.lltMKKK INTKHKHTKH IN La.| TKtJC'K I.NDCHTKY. rt, Messrs. Mathls and Zelgler have shipped a l"1'^ quantity, or beans, tqunshes and cucu ruber h to North em markets during the past ten days. Their crop was two weeks lato and naturally the prices* were low. but In spite of this, they made money. They expect to plant truck on a large ?cale next year, unci hope to Interest others In it also, ho uh to ship in car load lota. .. Tin* railroads will be naked to grant low freight rate# and North ern produce men will be asked to conn* here to buy the truck. It is said truck can be, made to pay handsome dividends here, as the land Is especially adapted for it, and vegetables can bo shipped Just as soon as those of Charleston and 'lie other coast counties. Que grower this year sold several hun dred acres of Irish potutoes in Charleston county at $300 an acre. The purchaser had to gather, crate ship and sell them. * Potatoes will grow here just as well a? In Charleston and the people In Caih? den were eating them out of their own gardens, while they were being shipped out of Charleston and Heau fort counties by the train load. The profit off of beans Is not so high as that of potatoes. It Is more ex pensive to gather them and some times. if a ready market Is not found, they spoil. Cucumbers will grow here as well as the coast counties, and can be gathered as early. Lettuce and radishes and beets also bring good money. During the past few years, truck ing lias nof been confined to coast i 'counties, but many acres have been planted in Florence county and near Lake City, as well as Blaekvllle in; Barnwell county. On a small gov ernment farm near McBee, in the sand hill land, wonderful resu'tls, were obtained in planting vegeta bles, especially tomatooes. | Another advantage In truck plant ing here, we have a through con--' ' Inection with New York by the Sea-' [board and c&n place truck ou the; New York markets a groat deal ' [earlier?than many other truck grow ing towns. Then too, we have the Cooast Line and Southern railways to ship by. We quote the following from the Southern Field, a publication that has been a strong factor in the up building of t he South : With the statement that the best yield he has ever made on | his place near Brooklyn, Fla., on the (J. S. k F. Hy., was a net pro-j fit of $ :{ o o an acre from a field of strawberries shipped to New* York,! ja truck grower in Northern Florida j [gives soome interesting facts and i figures regarding this industry, j "With 120 acres of the light, san Idy soil so productive of the finest I puck crops, run on a rotation of1 (cotton, corn, truck and cowpeas.l this grower reports a profit during! the past five years of $150 per acre, from those fields on which he had truck crops. The cotton produced, around a bale and a quarter and I the corn nearly 60 bushels to the ere, while the oowpeas were turn d under to make the land in good ihape for the truck the next sea ?n- , "One hundred and fifty crates of erries, 250 crates of tomatoes and On to 4 ? ) o crates of cucumbers froi n acre are secured, packed and la- , eled and rushed to Valdoosta, Ga., 'hence they are sent to New York h refrigerator cars over the ? fast reighi service of the Southern, and '3.511 per crate for the berries and. l.oo and $2.50 for the tomatoes i re average prices paid. "Lands in this vicinity vary great b' in price, owing to improvements V>t on them. The 120 acres men tioned above are tile-drained for the ?lost part and have been built up 0 the highest fertility. Their own-, jr estimates them to be worth $1, |00 an acre, but would not sell, he (tates, at this price. Lands of sim lar nature in this sectioon can be 'ad from $25 upward and in a few ears will equal these for productiv T. An Acre of Irish Potatoes. ( "The Irish potato is an exceeding profitable crop in the Southeast, M when grown in connection with [Other crops on the same land will ake the largest net returns.

An effort Is now being made to have Congress make the necessary appropriation. In case of failure to hold a national encampment, (Jen.
