enures Order For (odine Vegetables to John K. Aull, Executive decretory, S. C. Natural gesource* Commission yf^?undny's State: 0tr D. Hos*, of Bamberg and tepsrk. who moved to &>uth Caro2 ftom Dover, Delaware, to anjLfoithe growing and shipping of fa vegetables, has returned from (dp to the north 'bringing buck till him orders for next season for , yield from 500 acres planted in' ^cumbers, three hundred acres of ^pers, nine million toanato plants, jOOOO esses of canned string beans, (0,000 esses of canned lima . beans. jjr Ross told ?the office oi the South Carolina natural resources commisjion that the orders fop the 100,000 of canned goods means the jjUblishmcnt by him at some point in this state not yet definitely defined of ? canning factory with l capacity of 2,000 to 2,500 cases ftr day. During the past season, Mr. Rossk pipped from Denmark and Bamberg t&oo.ooo tomato iplants, 62 carloads 0f cuoombers, 24 carloads of puixed vegetables, and 23 trpekloads and three carloads of asparagus. Jn addition to the 9,000,000 tomato plants for which he has received orders, he expects to ship some 6,000,000 more, bringing the total to 15,000,000 South Carolina tomato plants, Uich will go to New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. The 500 acres 0f cucumbers and 300 acres of peppers, for which he has received orders, have been sold at a specific pejee, which he says will give a satifcetory profit to the growers with ikm he contracts. It is his inten-teat this time to process the cuepfers and peppers and ship them |irine. It is his plan to make this g adjunct of the proposed canning ktory. Under the method of proUsing, the pickled cucumbers and peppers would be shipped in 50-galIon kegs. Mr. Ross will continue and increase his operations in IBamberg county tnd adjacent territory in the growing and shipping of fresh vegetables, in addition to the acreage for the proposed canning factory. The markets which he has secured for his vegetables and' canned goods range from Georgia to (Chicago and include Cleveland, (Detroit, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and .Washington. He is in receipt of -a letter from a large distributor in (California asking for the distribution from that point of South Carolina iodine products packed by him. Mr. Ross said that those whom he lad approached in (the northern mar- | tets with regard to the 'purchase of uppers, cucumbers and tomato plants vere enthusiastic to-such degree thai hey proffered the advance of both eed and fertilizer for the growing f these crops. With regard to the omato plants, there is no suggestion hat the fruit from these plants raaured in the soil of another state vould contain the South Carolina ioline content. These plants are ea >ecially desirable on account of their >turdiness and the favorable time at *'hich they may be transplanted. The ^ager demand which he found for South Carolina fresh fruits and ^vegetables and canned products, he said was "because of their high iodine content. Mr. Ross has been in the canmiilg and vegetable business all bis life. It is recalled that during the World War he reconditioned for the United States government at his cannery at Camden, Dela., 18,000,000 pounds of hm which had been shipped from Sydney, Australia. Mr. Ross talked interestingly oi the course of the tomato plants shipduring the past season to Nev Jersey. They were planted in Nev krsev soil nnd the fruit was taker 'nta Maryland and packed at Cam ^ dge, ('risficld and Hebron in tha state. There was an Immense amount o: ;buck snipped this year from Den k&rk and Bamberg. Among the ship fc*- in addition to (Mr. Ross, R.

In a letter of September 24, Mr. George E. Prince, Chief of the Division of Marketing for South Carolina, advises as follows: "We of course do not recommend selling sweet potatoes until later in the season, but if your growers are ready to ship at this time, we will haVe to do th^' best possible." Indications are th#t sweet potatoes will bring a good pi^ice after Christmas. The sweet potato crop in the United States this year is eleven and one-half million bushels short of last year's crop, therefore we advise that farmers having sweet potatoes for sale get information from us on ht>w to grade these potatoes and take good care of their No. 1's. However, farmers who desire to ship right away will please notify us and ^ if there is a sufflcroU* quantity we will arrange to ship a car. Henry V. Green, County Agent. Georgians Lynch Negro.
