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." ,

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. He nodded affably to
the merrymakers.
"Gentlemen," he said. "I come to !
ask contributions to a sacred purpose
??ny dinner. If you would l>e so
kind?"
He collected tin assortment of dimes
and nickels. Then he put his right
hand Into his hip pocket. The guests
ducked, hut all that came forth was a
small, leather-houiul Bible.
Standing before the hearth he read
aloud a lew verses from Job. Finished,
ho patted the honk fondly and re
marked. "I always carry that hook,
gentlemen,' and strolled out, closing
the door behind him.?I'hlladelphiu

Th^ Challenge
Chairman Herbert S. Houston, of
the international chamber of commerce,
said of world politics at a dinner
at the Century club in New._York^.
"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.
"'No man alive dare call me henpecked,'
he shrieked one night over a
near-beer.
"'No? Why not?' laughed the nearbeer
drinkers round him.
r "'Because If he did,' shrieked Peck,
I'd tell my wife on him.'"
Porto Ricas Violet Troot
In Porto Rico they look for the first
sweet violets of early Spring on trees
Instead of under them. In that country
alone, says the American Forestry
association, are to be found violet
treec Tli'es^ trees tower to sixty
feet, with trunks twelve to fourteen
inches in diameter. They are densely
covered with thousands of vlolet-cov- red
towers.
But thsre are only six known living
apfclmeps, because the wood, being
yery hard, has been |o greatly in demand
for use as tool handles, parts of
wheels, axles, ox yokes and other
! flhVt the
trees hare been sacrificed without
thought of their possible extinction.

Ancieat Indian Canoe
Discovery near Fontana, Wis., of a
12-foot Indian canoe, split lengthwise,
.by William Koeppen, Walworth, proved
to be a historic fin0 dating back to the
days of 183d, when the Pottawatomi
Indians departed from Lake Geneva.
Koeppen was walking along the shore
of the lake when he discovered the
relic. It is believed that recent storms
washed the canoe up from Its resting
place on the lake bottom. It will be
placed on exhibition in the Geneva Y.

Detects Tough Meat Cutt
To tell just how tough or tender a
cut of meat may be, the Department
of Agriculture has devised n simple
tester which Is being used extensively
in research to find out why ment from
one animal is more tender or tougher
than that from another.
A knife blade Is pulled through
small round pellets of the sAmple by
means of a crank, and a scale In the
center of the apparatus records the
amount of pressure required to make
the cut.?Popular Science Magazine.
