BARNWELL AND BLACKVILLE TRUCK AUCTION MARKETS The auction markets at Barnwell and Blackville completed the season on the whole very satisfactorily to the cucumber , grower*. Records show that there were 17,404 bushels sold over the auction block at Barnwell for $15,762.76 or an average of 91c per bushel. At Blackville there were 15,- 453 bushels sold for 914,296.47, or an average of 99c per bushel. The aver age price, therefore received by farm ers at these markets was 95c per bushel for the entire season. These prices indicate better returns to grower* than have been paid by other types of markets. Furthermore such a system of selling no doubt has caused grower* with good quality pro duce to receive premium pricea. and will encourage the production of bet ter quality produce. Many grower* seeing fine cucumber* grown from the seed or land suited to cucumber*, fer tilised properly, realise the necessity for good returns, and stated from t me to time—“I know what 1 sm go ing to do nest year.** As a rule farm ers who grew good cukes were well ast tfted with the aurtioa markets. 1938 should see these markets fur ther improved by making changes and getting more and more buyer*.

This was the opinion of Attorney General John M. Daniel aa aet forth in a letter to Harry D. Calhoun, of Bamberg, who had written, be said, in behalf of an old darkey who had posed the question, “Gan you spit on your bait?” Daniel wrote that the fisherman. If wishing to apit on his bait, “should not use his mouth flow so as to inter fere with or harm other fishermen or growing crops. “Being rather familiar with some of the old-time colored men. and hav ing casually observed their mouth ca pacity. I feel it is proper to call at- tentma to the above limitations ns otherwise tome might overshoot the boit and use their untaxed, non-crime privilege to the great humiliation and embarraasoMnt of others." The law requires a II 10 annual license from fishermen using manu factured equipment having been made for a duplicate is sue thereof, all persons are called up on to show cause (if any they have) at the office of ttae Association in Barnwell, S.
