TRUCK FARMING.
A Suggestion to Form an Asso-
Ciation for This Purpose.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRoNIcLE:
Through the columns of our old
reliable county paper wish to say
afew words to my brother farmers
in regard to truck farming, or more
es pecially to raising tomatoes and
cabbage. There is a strong effort
being made by the traffic depart
ment of the Nashville, Chattanoo-
ga and st. Louis Railway to inter
est our farmers in this line Of
farming, and | wish to say to you
that the field does seem very at
tractive and inviting.
w. III. and A. ID. Knox, who are
representing the department
OF said road, are sending out circu-
lar letters. to the farmers of, this
section in which, the profits to be
reaped from this line of agricult-
ore are represented as being enor-
NOUS. These gentlemen have been
down in the Humboldt section in
vestigating the various questions
In regard to the cultivation and
marketing of these two crops, the
prices paid, profits thereon, etc.
let me quote you few extracts
fl ON said letter for your informa-
tion and benefit:
"R. B. Bledsoe, postoffice Hum
boldt, Tenn, had two acres of cab
bage off Of which he sold 900 crates
for 81, 100. The expense Of grow
ing and marketing this cabbage,
including Mr.. Bledsoe's own labor
at fair price was $159.50, leaving
q net profit of $940.50, or 20

FARMERS UNION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Will you please allow me space
to ask all the unions to write few
lines through The CHNoNIoLE,
which is a good paper. Give us a
few items of your locals, Let us
get more in touch as brother farm
ers. Lets hear from you.
Our union at Cross Roads is now
in shape to do business. We have
fifteen members of good, moral, /,
sound Judgment. Lets go to work
now andincrease our membership.
Yours truly,

"S. I'll. Bass. Gibson, had one
acre in cabbage and cleared $l65.
~. 2. Morris, Gibson, had three
and one-half acres in cabbage and
cleared 500.
81. Z. Cook, Gibson, had one acre
of cabbage on which he cleared
S40O."
These gentlemen state that they
firmly believe that our county can
do as we'll on this line as Gibson
County. This letter is full Of hope
and encouragement, and holds ont
big inducements to our farmers.
If any of the readers of this article
have not received one of these cir
cular letters you can secure one by
addressing a postal request to ell
ther of these gentlemen at Nash
vile. They will gladly aid the
farmers in any way possible along
this line.
They suggest that we form an as
sociation for the purpose Of rails
ing and marketing these products,
with a membership sufficient to
ship carload daily during the sea-
son. In my humble judgment the
suggestion is a good one, and if
carried out will redown to our ma
terial advancement and to the bet
terment of our financial condition
as a people.
These gentlemen suggest that
we call a meeting at Camden at
! some date not too far in the future
and discuss this matter better.
They will attend if notified.
[ would like to know what the
sentiment of the people is in this
regard, and if it is sufficient to jus
tify it the meeting will be called.
Yours truly,
