L- - -y The People wishes to call the nt- - tention of its readers to an arLc-e in this issue relative to the co-ope rative marketing of truck product^. It is the opinion of those in position i to know that it will be a losing prep osition to plant truck next yea>- un less adequate marketing facilities are provided in advance. In fact, it is declared to be more of a gam ble than planting cotton under bell weevil conditions. It would seem that it is high time for the business people Of this ae't- ion to combine with the farmers in an effort to provide suitable mark et! for the products of the far n. The prosperity of practically every ped son in Barnwell County depends Opon the prosperity of the farm.'>, and it seems like financial anicide to ait idly by and awate develop ments. If the farmer ia to grow cropa other than cotton, a mn'-kit must be provided for them, or not year will find this section in mu 'h worse condition than it is now. , We doubt seriously if the av-vage linn tenant is going to make a frtfcreas of tricking. It it a br*i. h of agriculture that requires roomy, experience and resourcefulness, is it reasonable, therefore, to expert that the shiftless negro sfci>t-oA>p??r twill succeed? The lime has pa-u.d ♦ whan —a land-owner ean give fr** share-croopper a few sack v of M il ixer and tell him £o mnkr a rr-'O cotton, but an abundance of •■urn, oats, and oth r small grain cun grown In this »ect:on. But c*en thaaa products imi t have a ntaixet if the farm is to pay even a aiar.ll return. Qol. Har^y P. Calhoun, ■ pneael. it of the Home Bank of BsmWell, w. * working along the right line* in e».- rouraging the farmer* to plant an other crop, but it is understood d ;,i the plan met with some opposit,ii:i from a few of his brother banker*. The People agn*ea with him that the farmers should be encouraged *n making n crop next year, but wa believe that another step should taken and maikets provided for iKcm* crops. # We would ha glad to hear ir.> n aome of our reader* in refren.v* to this very important matter.

We wish to thank the WiIli*ton people for their kindness in coming to Calvary to help us or rather aln w us something of the B. Y. IVU. work. We enjoyed their program very’ mu« h and hope to organize a B. Y. P. l\ of our own and to meet with great success. We are interested in the work and think we can have one if we only try with the Williston fo'ks’ aid. Mr. Belton Peacock preached at Calvary last Sunday. Only a few folks were present on account of the .bad weather. Miss Lorretta Porter of the Edtsto section spent last week-end with her j?rand parents Mr. and Mrs. L. K Givens. We are glad to see a new coneivtv bridge^being constructed across the Edisto river on the road from Wil liston to Springfield.

Everybody knows what this ijnelon is, but few people know the difference it makes as to where the seed are grown. Colorado grown seed maxes a more pro lific yield and a far more uniforih jtoclon. Matures 10 to 15 days earlier than native grown seed. This is what proved in Flor ida and Georgia. This is the first I have been able to get. Could not get any last year. I have now a limited amount at $1.50 per pound. . EXCEL MELONS. saved no Excel Melon Seed, but am in position to order from wholesale grow ers, both South and West, And believe that I can get as good seed as can be bought. I have none to offer, but will take orders to secure when requested. CLECKLEY SWEET. The only melon for home use. Only have a few of these seed, which I am of fering at $2.00 per pouno. v WONDER WATERMELON. Only a few of these seen of my own saving from melons 50 to 75 pounds. This melon is just jthe shape of the old Cob Gem or Eden Melon with a rattlesnake colored rind. It is a heavier yielder, a fine shipper, but must not be shipped before it is ripe enougn. Must be fully rire when shipped or else does not carry well. Price $2.00 per pound. EDEN GEM ROCKY FORD CANTA LOUPE. The best and most profitable solid netted cantaloupe for market purposes grown. My seed were grown at Rocky Ford, Colo., kpecially fur A- -44. - Mathis. I was there during September •«nd personally saw to the selection in cutting and cate in drying I am just a little short on ( ash with eriser, $1.25 per of the same, my supply, pound. HONEY DEW CANTALOUPE. * I hardly know how to describe this mel on. It is a perfect watermelon rind, while the flesh is that of a real cantaloupe. It is .very sweet and profitable as a market product when weather conditions suit the harvest. It is subject to spoil or go bad with too much rain at gathering season, but a real money-maker when climatic and other conditions are favorable. ... These seed are $1.25 per pound. EARLIEST OF ALL WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. * \ • This variety introduced from Rocky Ford, Colo., , where over 90 per cent, of the cucumber seed planted in the United States is grown, is not only the earliest but also . as well shaped and colored as any of the later sorts. Yields a much heavier crop early in the season and continues to boar as long as any. The fruit averages 7 to B inches long as slicers, and square -ended, very deep green in color, and hold their color well on the market. The flesh is ertsp, white and'of excellent quality. This variety also “Dills” well and is a good sort to grow for pickles. As a money maker for market growers jt is recom mended above all others. '■ I have a full supply to begin with, but sold out entirely last Spring. Prices le*s than 100 pounds, $1.00 per pound, cash with order. Special discount on sack lots. 2,000 BU. FULGHUM OATS. \ Pure from any other oa*s. Was full ripe when cut. Just a very small j er cent, of wheat in some of my oats and quite some Hairy Vetch in part of them.

I was so weak I couldn’t raise my head to get a drink of water. 1 took . . . medicine, yet I didn’t get any better. I was conslipated and very weak, getting worse and worse.
