On and on he chattered, moving:
from one crate of cucumbers to an
other. Words came from his mouth
with staccato persists nee. His hand
was held up, palm straight forward to
his ear. He seemed to be making a
violent effort to catch some sign from
a buyer for a higher bid on the pro
duct.
The auctioneer’s incessant atricula-
tkms, with the exception of the num
bers he spat out, meant nothing,
neither to himself nor to his listeneers.
He sounded more like a Chinese coolie
than a master of the English lan
guage. But to the farmers of Barn
well County his presence meant a
great deal. It meant that they had
• market where they could sell their
encumbers—where they could sit in
the shade of a shed while buyers bar
tered for their product*.
The suction markets at Barnwell
Blarkville have been very toe
il this year, and cucumber grow
hare taken foil advantage of them.

Mr. Bowers declares that tha auction
market enables the growers to get
more money from produce, plays an
important part in establishing the
grade of cukes and the packing, and
encourages farmers to grow a better
quality product Speaking of this last
asset Mr. Bowers said:
“There is no. question but what one
of the biggest problems confronting
our farmers today is growing a better
quality produce so that we can com
pete with any State in selling to East,
ern markets as well as our home mar-
V
kets. I believe that farmers who have
fynougjht ^cucumbers to our auction
markets at Barnwell and Blackville
have been inspired to grow this better
quality product, as they can see with
their own eyes that the number one
cukes are bringing more than lower
grades and jumbos.’’
The Barnwell county markets have
been operated since June 1 and when
the cucumbr season is over it will
beusedi as a market for cantaloupes
which are expected to be moving in
the very near future. The sheds at
Barnwell and Blackvlle were bailt by
the town authorities. Messrs. Boyls-
ton and Bowers, representing the ex
tension service, have helped in the
organization of the markets and are
keeping close tab on their operations.

to another family. Thus in a space
of few weeks many families are aided
in getting back to normel conditions.
In the short time that the project
has been in operation a large number
of homes have been serviced and help
in almost every form has been
given. In some of these homes due
to illness and lack of finances, condi
tions were found to be almost past
helping, but the workers waded in—
scrubbing floors, washing down walls,
made over mattresses, prepared nour-
iehmentft for the ill members of the
family, mended screen doors, this

done along with the thousand and

Washington, D. C —The national
resources committee, working at
tha ordar of President Roosevelt,
in a report will present the inside
•tory of the economic life of the
average American family—e story
based upon information gathered
from more than 1,000,000 families
scattered throughout the nation.
Already preliminary data has
been compiled from the survey un
dertaken to present for the first
time a true picture of the financial
side of the American family life.
It shows how much money ten-
year-old Mary spends for chewing
gipn, what sort of a car father
drives, how far he has to go to
work, and how many times a month
the kids go to the movies.
From this information, directors
of the survey hope to develop sta
tistics of use by the government in
planning functions such as those of
relief problems and means whereby
industry can more accurately gauge
supply and demand for its products.
Families Interviewed.
More than 1,100,000 families in all
parts of the country were inter
viewed to obtain information asked
by the President to show what the
“average families are producing
and consuming and how produc
tion and consumption by them will
affect the manufacturing industries,
labor and agriculture."
From that number the committee
selected 900.000 “representative'’
families in metropolises, large cit
ies, small cities, villages and farm
communities. Complete results of
the survey, begun in February, 1*9*.
are expected to be reported.
