HEAVY SHIPMENTS
Thousands of Barrels Green Truck

A Grent Industry Employing Thou
sands. of Hands ana PRODUCING
from Four TO SIX million Dollars
Annually.

The steamship lines to New York,
Boston and Providence are handling
thousands of barrels OF green truck
daily. The market is active Just now
for spinach, at 81 to S2.25 barrel. and
the demand Will be good for Norfolk
May. J.
The trucking business OF this port is
valued at ebcut 100000 to $4,000, 900
annually. 1t is practically a new indus
try, started not over fifteen years ago.
AT first one steamer was sufficient to
handle all of the truck shipped from
this port North. Now, in a busy sea-
son. it requires ALL of the ships of all
the lines to keep the wharves clear of
these products, consigned 10 merchants
North.
The United Sthtes census reports are
authority for the statement that the
most productive lands in the known
world, making more dollars per acre.
are the truck farmer of Norfolk's
trucking section. There are truckers in
this vicinity who have grown rich by
the returns of a single Year. 1t is said
that the business requires untirinG en-
erSy, thorough knowledge OF character
of soil and crop as we'll as reliable sell
ing agents North.
a representative of the Virginian-
Pilot talked 10 one of the leading truck
ers of Tanners Creek District. who
says that the prospect for good crops
this season is excellent. He said. how
ever. nothing is certain in truck farm
ing except fertilizlng bills.
Frequently we lose thousands of dol
lars in night by cold snap or an
early frost"
When your crop Is heavy it is nine
to one that your neighbor has IL crop
equally as good; In fact, that all of the
crops of the section are good. Buyers
North know the condition OF the fields
and down prices co.
There Is interest and excitement in
truck farming" said he. ut is a beau
tiful business for the man who has
money. The poor man may rot be able
to grow rich quickly; but IL he Is in
dustrious he can make more than a
good living
