T,u> Camden Chronicle; ,Mohko K'vo^ho space lit yoXir paper to a few remarks about the trucking Industry in this section of the ^uiilcy. Homo ixN.pl,. think thnt because we can't xot our produce on the market hh early Ms the Florida and (Jw>Vg|? growers truck growing Jh uot profitable in tills part of the country, on the contrary I will show why it .-an lie made oven more profitable bore than In 1" loi Ulu. hi the 11 rst place wo have tho advantage <if thorn in freight rates find also in tho length of tlino It takes to get a tar of vegetables to tho North ern markets. It will ??iy tak?' about one half as much tlmo deliver a ear from here as from tho trucking sec t'on of Florida and tho freight will le little uiorc than half as much. and at tho same timo our stntr will arrive in much hotter condition Mian that which, has heon gathered so long! Then we come on the market just at tho close of the Florida season and a little' be fore the North Carolina and Virginia, season opens and sometimes uot better] prices than either as was the case last season with tomatoes which ad vanced from $2.50 to $3.50 per crate at the beginning of our season. Add to this the fact that our sandy loam soils ? are particularly adapted to the grow j lug of vegetables and you can readily jsee that when we take hold of this In dustry with the same determination and effort to make it a success that ? wo put Into king cotton we will have a crop Vhat heats king cotton as a mo-, jney crop even at Its best and instead | of haying something to sell only a Ht ' tie while in the fall and winter we j will be getting money out of the soil ?more than half the year and at a time when we need money most to pay the exjKmse of making the cotton crop, i : and other expenses which must Is* kept up on borrowed money and paid | out of the cotton crop, which under our system of fertilizing and cultiva tion will little more than pay its own expenses even at 12 cents a pound. ' i Another good thing about tills bus iness Is that most of these crops are off in time to make a crop of corn, peas, peanuts, potatoes, etc.. making two crops on the same land and at tho : same time improving the land and , leaving it in better condition for next f years crop. T,et. me say here that I am speaking from personal experience and observation and a close study of this business for two years and know that we can make money growing veg etables if we go at it in the right man ner. I will give a few figures show ing what I have accomplished on a small scale growing and shipping veg etables. and this without any previous experience on my part. Cucumbers made at the rate of 300 bushels to the acre and averaged $1.50 per bushel ; tomatoes about 100 crates the acre at from $1.00 to $3.50 j>er crate: okra 100 bushels to the acre at $2.00 to $3.00 per bushel ; earlrr^rn 40 crates at $1.25 to $2.00. This represents ac* tual yields on light sandy soils in 1914, the driest spring In years, and prices obtained at Charlotte through commission men. The northern mar Dr. I. H. Alexander Dr. R. E.

Wo have all agreed to plant the same varieties ??f seed in order to have a uniform product and thereby get hotter prices and any one wishing to Join i^s will be welcome to any Information ^that I can give In regard to cultivating, packing, etc. We are using tin* following kin/Is of seed : Sparks lOarllaua tomatoes t*> he planted In hotbeds as soon as pos sible and set tn the field about April IfHh ; Adams ICarly corn to ho planted, tenth to Hfteontli of March; Cukes to he iilanted to tenth of April : <New Model Okra.

I would 1m> glad to hear from everyone who Is think ing of planting any kind of vegetables for the market as to how much they expect to plant ol' each different kind, so that 1 will know how to figure on buying crates and baskets and can also have some Idea of how many crate# of each we may exi>ect drtlly.

O., Fob. 22. ? Today the farewell address* of Washington will be read before the United States Sen ate as It has been for years. Senators pause In the whirljiglg of political leg lslatton to listen to the parting words of the father of his country. The ad dress will be read by a United States senator appointed by the vice Presi dent. Thoge who keep up with con gressional legislation notice with regret the decadence of ability In the house and senate from what it used to be. There are no Websters, Calhouns and Clays there, only a profusion of second hand intellects to grapple with the problems of today. England, France and RussUt should hold down tbeir heads in sname that they cannot whip (Jermany. They should throw up the s]>onge and quit. ^ Very little farm work is done so far owing to the wet.
