€
At a meeting of several local farm*
ers, held in the Court House Friday
morning, a cucumber marketing asso
ciation was tentatively organized with
L. A. Cave as temporary president
and Perry B. Bush as temporary secre
tary, and a call was issued for another
and larger meeting to be held at the
Court House Saturday afternoon, Sep
tember 28th, at four o’clock, at which
time it is hoped that farmers, both
white and colored, who market their
produce at Barnwell will be in attend
ance.
Quite a substantial acreage was rep
resented at Friday’s meeting, but in
order of the association to get the
best results it is necessary that the
smaller farmers also become members,
as it is this class that will benefit the
most from such an organization. The
larger producers can truck their cukes
to other markets if prices being paid
y buyers here are unsatisfactory, but
most cases the farmer who has only
few crates to sell is forced to accept
whatever is offered.
It is understood that the Atlantic

fully entertained with a piano solo by
Miss Martha Moore and a vccal solo
by Mrs. Ira Fales.
Plans were discussed a* to the ad-
yisability of holding n tonsil and
adenoid clinic at the school building
this fall. In view of the fact :hat past
clinics have proved of such wonderful
benefit to many children and as there
are many more who are in need of this
operation and desire *c have it done
here if -possible, the association de
cided that if there be a sufficient
number of patients, a clinic will be
held. Parents of children who need
this operation are requested to get
in touch ,vith Mrs. Greene
Various othor business matters were
disposed of. New books for the libra
ry will be bought by the faculty with
money made last year from plays, etc.,
and this committee will also purchase

sured that there will be no repetition
of the conditions that were experienc
ed here thi B year.
Such co-operative marketing will en
able the association to offer four
grades of cucumbers to the trade:
No. 1’a, No. 2’s, jumbos and pickles,* ‘
and with buyers assured of gettingk
high quality and even pack, it ia be
lieved that top prices will be obtained

Every farmer, white or black, who
expects to plant from a quarter of an

the meeting here Saturday afternoon.

Dalice has her own garden, and did
all the work this year, except the
first preparation of the plat, which
was done by her father and brothers.
She sold $5.00 worth of vegetables
iy<s spring, canndd alone 2 dozen
jars of fruits and vegetabfes, besides
helping with the family canning.
Dalice helps with the family sewing,
made undergarments according to in
structions received at club meetings,
for younger members of the family, be
sides doing some of her own sewing.
Not only is she conscientious in do
ing the practical and everyday things
but she is also a good student. She is
ready for the 10th grade this year and

All of these improvements are due
