SOUTH CAROLINA Improved Practices Would Help Growers Efforts to Standardize Cucumber Deal Have Met With Considerable ; ~~ i * —— Wade H. Ramsey, agricultural agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, writes as follows about the cucumber deal in this section: The South Carolina cucumber deal, centering in Bamberg an3 Barnwell Counties, annually attracts dozens of transient buyers who follow the vari ous fruit and vegetable (deals that be gin during the winter months in Florid'a and continue up the Atlantic seaboard in seasonal sequence. ^.

Af ter several interesting games, the birthday cake was brought out on the lawn and much merriment wa$ created when the candles were blown out by Delightful home- South Carolina cucumber crop is a spectacle not often observed in the other large fruit and vegetable, deals. Cucumbers are transported to the marketing centers in wagons, buggies, trucks, automobiles and carts pulled by oxen. Over a long period of years it has been customary for the farmer to harvest his crop early in the morn ing and pack, it into the 32-quart veneer hampers. Some effort has been made to properly grade the cucum bers at the farm before packing them into the hampers, but, unfortunately for the South Carolina deal, too little attention has been paid to this phase of the operation. When the supply of cucumbers is light the buyers are prone to ignore the quality and corylition of the pack. Until recent years the growers have been encoraged to sell a “farmer’s pack.” After the cucumbers have been harvested and prepared 1 for sell ing, the farmer proceeds to what he considers the best f. o. b. market in the cucumber belt. It is largely a matter of speculation on his part, since the buyers on the various mar kets manipulate the prices at the close of each day in such a way that and Darlington, respectively, yester- ; ma J e ’ ce cream, Dixie cups and cake w jij be encouraged to bring day aftei* a virit to Mr. Perry A.

The prices have remained j firm due to the light movement and many bushels of off-grade ftock have ; been b ught and shipped. When this' stock teaches the ccnsumer it will j undoubtedly reflect prices downward a: the close of the season. During the last two years several Floy^i Arms have opened packing housW in Stuth Carolina for the pur pose of buying, packing and shipping cucumbers. In brief their principle of operation is as follows: The grow ers are asked to bring their cucumbers to the packing house platform just a# they are harvested from the field. Among the produce trade such cucum bers are known as “field run.’’ On the basis of the daily market trend, the packing house operators make a cash offered for each heaping bushel tub basket. In measuring up the tub IT WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE OF an accident that the frantic claims which are appearing in current gaso line advertising were published all at the same time. There HAS been a recent improvement in gasoline. Many of the gasolines sold by well- known companies have been stepped up in anti-kno^ quality. Some are advertised as containing lubricating oil • These new improvements are the source of all the challenges and counter-challenges, claims and counter-claims and the wild state ments that are now being dinned into your ears • This company has, of course, made the utmost use of these new means of giving you more fuel value for your money. But be cause of this we are not going to try to make you think that when you spend a few pennies for a gallon of gasoline you now get the services of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp and skim over the world with no effort or cost • But we will point out one thing. This company, the world's -largest oil organization, asks you to believe no claims. We make none. Everything said about Essolene bears our guarantee • FIRST, Essolene is compounded with a special lubri cating solvent which is not intended to act as a motor lubricant but to clean, keep clean, smooth, and in proper working condition, valve stems, piston rings and piston ring grooves. Essolene contains no ordi nary lubricating oil. SECOND • Essolene's anti-knock value is unsurpassed by any regular priced gasoline.
