TRUCK GROWING.

The movement Of a number o
farmers in Brazos county who me
last Saturday at the court hous,
in Bryan to organize truck
growers association is an impor
tant one, and one that should have
every encouragement by one and
all. Encouragement, they are get.
ting. What they now want and
need is more farmers to join in the
movement with those who have
made this beginning.
II Brazos county farmers will
produce truck in large enough
quantities to load cars, and let the
fact become known in the great
markets, buyers will come here, SO
is said by those in a position to
know, and buy the stuff as it is
loaded into the cars. The same
car can be loaded at two or more
stations in the county, so that
growers near Wellborn and other
stations can help load a car if such
plan should prove to be conyen-
lent.
The Bryan Business league be-
gan the agitation for market gar
dening some months ago, and the
farmers can count on their earnest
help to find a market for their
products, if they will but grow it.
The club have already pledged
themselves to do so.
Let the farmers turn out Satur-
day, Sept :, in large numbers,
organize, elect permanent officers,
proceed about buying their seeds,
and go right ahead with the bust.

an extra early crop of spring truck
products for the markets. If well
done it will pay big.
