Sat, Motor Trucks Widen Vegetable Markets "Motor trucks are reducing the risks in growing perishable products in bouth Carolina for out-of-state markets," says E. W. King, large scale producer of vegetables in Charleston county. Mr. King devotes around 250 acres to truck farming and gets from most of his land at least two crops a year. In harvesting his products, he sometimes employs 75 to 100 persons, ;inost of them coming out from Charleston to work for him when needed. He has been a coastal farmer all his life and used to he a large-scale cotton grower, producing Sea Island mostly, but he now grows no cotton of any kind. He produces perishable stuff for longdistance markets only. "Formerly, we had to depend almost wholly on the far Northern markets, such as (Philadelphia, New York and Boston," says Mr. (King. "It was difficult to dispose of other than first grade studf in those markets. "Now trucks come to us from intermediary points in North (Carolina and Virginia. The transportation time and cost are reduced and much second and third grade produce finds market in those areas." Fresh vegetables are carried by motor trucks from the Charleston area as far north as Baltimore. Mr. King, like other big growers of vegetables, still ships produce via steamers and railroads to far northern markets. "But an increasing proportion of our production is sold, "delivered and paid for here on the farm,1' says he. "I am holding on to my land and I propose to keep it and work it," says Mr. King, who glories in farming, as did his forbears. "Prices have" been pretty low,, but I don't think land values have been depressed around here. Nature is not making any more land of this sort and there . is increasing consumption of the kinds of ^products for which our rich soil and climate are best suited." EGGS MAY GO HIGHER Conditions Favor Profits? Next Fall and Winter, Says Clark a Clemsph College, July 25.?That farmers with eggs to sell during the coming fall and winter will be in a favoxable..situation,. ia. the. opinion of 0. M. Clark, extension farm management economist, basing his statement on the smaller number of fall and winter?pullets?likely?to?be?hr-production and the probable low level of feed prices. .Discussing the present status and outlook regarding, production and sale of eggs, Mr. Clark says: **The receipts of eggs at the principal markets were heavier' during June than had been expected and the consumption aeman,a w?? owing considering the price, Since the first of July, however, receipts have been considerably below thog# for the corresponding period of last year and below the five-year average. High quality eggs have been at an increased premium. "Itn spite of the prevailing low prices of eggs they are higher relatively than the prices of grains and the outlook is favorable for fall and winter prices especially if there is an improvement in the general business situation to improve the consumption demand. ThC early season hatchings were only about half those of last year. The hatchings increased relatively as the season advanced but'they were still below the ' c:r responding periods of 1930." , When a big bus skidded on route No. 10, near Marion, N.

Veraes prom Job Meant a Payment for Dinner? The little houses on Camac street, where live the artists and even some ordinary mortals, become used to engaging and peculiar visitors. In one of these house six worthy souls were making high wassail. Came a knock on the door. The host shouted "Come In!" The ! door opened and a lank, seedy man strolled Inside.

"The militarists of each power yell out challenges to one another, but they are weak challenges after all, for the militarists know in their hearts that they haven't got the people behind them any more. - -These absurd challenges remind ma of Henry Peck.

Why not?' laughed the nearbeer drinkers round him. r "'Because If he did,' shrieked Peck, I'd tell my wife on him.'"
