has received a popular application.
For years the humblest citizens of
many of the counties of the State
maintained in their small and uncon-
sidered garden spots the secret Of
wealth and knew it not. They have
learned better now. Trucking, once
a luxury, later a diversion, has grown
to mammoth proportions NO soil
and no climate are better adapted TO
the early fruits and vegetables, while
geography seems to have chosen the
trucking farms of North Carolina as
the favored spots in the way of sea-
sons. Florida is earlier, but her CROPS
do not interfere with those of this
State. At the time when the first
Florida crops fail. those of the Caro-
linians are in full fruitage. They fit
into season at the time when sales
are easy and prices good. They come
late enough to avoid any great dan
ger of destruction. They grow In
climate that mysteriously gives to the
growing things the touch and taste
of natures excellence.
Of late years almost the entire East
ern section of the State has learned
the value of the trucking industry
The people have come to study their
lands intelligently, to raise their crops
in accordance with semitic principles
The result has been a marvellous in
crease of wealth in the counties which
are fitted to trucking and a wonderful
increase in the value of lands that iii
many instances, were not Ions since
considered to be practically worthless
throughout the entire Eastern section
the raising of berries, matermelOns, let
tuce, early cabb1ges and truck of all
description is carried on in the early
months of the spring by both large
AID small growers with great profit
In some cases small gardens even
pay their owners a return Of several
hundred dollars for few weeks cul-
tivation. The secret. of course. lies
in getting the perfect shipments to
the market at the right time. When
this result is obtained the prices are
such as to constitute what is really
a wonderful return for labor. But
like ANYTHING else that wins q large
return at apparent small effort ana
capital. intelligent treatment is at the
bottom of success.
AS an illustration of the vast guam
titles Of berries and truck which are
being yearly shipped from an ever in
creasing territory. perhaps the figures
for last year from tho little town OF
Chadbourne a place of not more than
six hundred inhabitants, may best
serve 10 illustrate the progress of
what is in reality an industry yet in
infancy. From this little town, the
centre of y small trucking area, there
were made in one year the following
shipments at the returns given:
54S,700 crates strawberries. $l,o9141S
I126,57O packages beans. etc. 116,570
sc. 900 packages lettuce 10000
|11,443 crates strawberries 22,S86
1000 bbls. Irish potatoes. 225,025
90,916 pkgs. Of catalogues. 1880

he received word calling him away.
The stranger told one Of the boys
and tried TO borrow some money.
OF course he couldn't do il. Then
he offered to sell his watch. II
was a bright new one, "of solid
gold" worth fully one hundred
dollars-but the owner just had to
have q few dollars. Finally the
lad who desired TO 20 said to his
chum. LET me have your watch
and FIVE dollars and I'll put up
mine for security for a few days till
I can write you and send you the
