Carolina Aftteftibly Convened Tuesday Expectations Are That Session Will Be Short as Few Vacancies / Are to Be Filled. * Realizing that additional mon^y •vrops for this immediate^ section to supplement those already K I0 ' vn are imperalive if the farmers are to be saved from financial ruin, a moveiment is on foot here to encourage the jfrow- ing of strawberries and provide a market therefor. That this delightful fruit can be ^rown at a profit here has already been demonstrated, but ihe lack of a market discouraged growers, individual express shipments being necessary on account of the small acreage. The plan as told to a representative of The People-Sentinel is to in terest as many one-and two-horse farmers as possible and enable then to set out a half to an acTC of Jand m strawberiy plant*. If a sufficient number can be pledged to do this, a market can readily 1h» provided at Barnwell and additional revenue de rived from the farms. , . It is generally conceded that cotton production is too uncertain with the boll weevil and wide price fluctuations, the government being largely respon sible for the last named condition with Us Memal and unwarranted predic tions. Up in Chatham, N. C., straw* berry culture has proved most profit able and a local farmer states that the value of the crop is in excess of the •combftied receipts in this section from asparagus, “cucumbers and watermel ons. Asparagus having proven highly profitable as the result of cooperative marketing, additonal acreage in tihs important crop will also be encour aged. Terry Richardson ,who is one of the promoters of the movement,/is very enthusiastic, betiipvrng with many others that the growing of straw- beiries will prove finite profitable. He is making an activp campaign for the necessary acreage and stated Tuesday that already apprOximte^y. 100 acres have been pledged. He is very- anxious that the total acreage be not less than 100, and even moro if possible. The merchants of Barnwell heartily endorse the movement, as evidenced by the fiont page of this i$sue. The farmers, therefore, may rest assured that if tho strawberries are planted, in' sufficient quantity a market will be provided here. - * . If inteiested farmers have not al ready done so, they should see Mr. Richardson at once in order that they may he properly listed. Let’s make a concerted effort to place this dounty in the forefront of prosperity, where it rightfully be longs by virtue of soil, climate and Other natural advantages! * The General Assembly op South Carolina convened in Columbia at noon Tuesday, and it was expected that the legislators would be able to proceed with their work, without de lay. * This is. the holdover year, so there is no organization to take place except in thci case of vacancies, which are few. /_ / " The governor is lending every effort to make the session short—to pre vent the long dra>vn out assembly of last year.
