Two shipments have already been
made and others will be made in
day or two. The association has
ordered a full supply Of boxes for
the season, which are expected to ar
rive soon, when the shipments will be
made regularly.
1t is understood that many acres of
land have been put in vegetables.
Eight bushels of bean seed were
planted this year and twice that
amount will be planted next season.
This is only the "beginment" of
truck growing in this section and it
will increase every year until the
ground will be torn up for miles
around and this whole section will
become vegetable garden. The far
mers have become interested in the
business, have organized, and the
good work promises to go ahead with
unabated zeal and energy.
II Another year it is expected thst the
assocition will be doubled in member
ship, the acreage increased seventy.
five per cent, when carloads Of vege-
tables will leave our depots every day.
