CHANGE FOR TRUCK FARMERS
Fine 0Derind for Splendid and Growing
Business at Greenwood.

There has never been an opportunity
offered to gardeners and truck farmers
like the one which is now before them
in the country adjacent to Greenwood.
A ready market can be found in this
for every product of a truck gar
den. There are sOme small farmers
operating this business Oh a very small
scale now, but they are absolutely nm
able to begin to supply the demand in
the town of Greenwood alone. MGR
chants complain daily because they are
unable to supply their customers with
vegetables. Housckcepers have a con-
tinual complaint because they cannot
get Vegetables for their tables. The
soil near here produces anything that
grows anywhere. The seasons are very
mild and vegetables can be brought
carly. The Yazoo Delta.
