FARMING In
THE SOUTH
GOOD PROFIT IN TRUCKING.
Observation-Disclosures

The first important essential in Sc
lecting farm for market gafdenial
or Tor truck farming is that of land
The pi actical gardener does no;
look 50 mGcl 10 fertility as he does
20 drainage, location and the posi-
bilities OF improvement.
Given a soil that is reasonably fer
lie and plenty of manure, labor and
intelligence, and he can soon improve
il and make it an ideal garden spot.
Every time load is hauled 10 mar.
Eel the team brings back load OF
manure from the city.
Horse manure is better adapted for
garden crops than other manures, as
its mechanical effect upon the soil
loosens il and makes it better adapt
ed for small and tender crops.
AT all times OF the year whC-l the
teams are not employed on the farm
they are kept busy hauling manure
from the city TO the compost heaps
on the land.
The most skillful gardeners are
using such plant foods as nitrate Of
soda, sulphate of ammonia or some
other chemical food to make the
plants glow faster or mature earlier
Great skill must be exercised in
using these chemical plant foods and
the conditiC,3 must be right when
they are applied.
When manure furnishes the fertil-

aare and handling are important
.a1s tol he gardner to look after.
The most practical method is to
haul in heaps convenient to where il
IS TO be used and pie in fat heaps
and well tranired down so that it
viii be well we down every time
It rains.
Some gardne.s haul water and wet
the manure heaps down when there
is danger of them fire fanging or
burning.
Market gardeners apply all the way
from 20 to 100 lo7ds of manure to
The acre, according 20 kinds of crops
that are to be grown and to the condi-
ton OF the soil Many find it profit
able to keep q few hogs to work over
the coarse manure and get it in con
dition to spread evenly
The market gardener should be
close to the city markets and keep
well posted on the market conditions
from day to day and be ready to
take advantage of the favorable mar
ket conditions.
The truck farmer should be in
some community where large
amount of truck is grown and where
buyers are attracted by the quality
and quantity produced.
1t seldom pays a man to go into a
country and go into the truck farm

Ing business unless he has enough
OF his own crops SO that he may
ship in carload lots TO the city deal
ers.
The man who has charge of the
produce must be an expert, for in
marketing produce much depends
upon the manner in which It is sput
up and the condition that 1t is in
when II reaches the buyers.
The most important secret OF sue
cess in marketing produce might be
told In a few words Cater TO the
demands of the market; produce just
such vegetables as the demands OF
the market call for and offer them at
Just the times that the people want
them
Tn more favorable the combination
of these conditions the more certain
you will be of success.
Start in on small scale and try to
fill want already existing, rather
than go into the business heavily and
compete with the experts who have
an Established trade.
Don't try to educate peoples indi-
vidual tastes, but plan your crops
so that they will meet the demands
of the most critical buyers.
In packing your vegetables strive
to have uniform quality in all pack
ages and lunches. Have all of the
vegetables in one package as near
alike as careful selection can make
them.
Have everything clean and attrac-
tive and we'll graded. Careful sorting
and packing are just as necessary as
skillful growing.
Retail dealers like to do business
with men who can be depended upon
TO keep their engagements and sup
ply them with the right kind of vege-
tables regardless of the weather and
other conditions.
II is not the purpose of this article
to explain what some skilled gardener
has accomplished in growing some
special crop, for it would read too
much like fiction
However, these great yields are not
made by amateurs or city farmers
who have had no experience previous
~ in the business.
Among the special crops that are
adapted for the truck farmer to grow
may be mentioned cabbages, celery,
onions, melons, asparagus, tomatoes,
early potatoes, cahliflower, turnips,
cucumbers, and so on.

high. ~ inches in diameter contained
41.12S cubic inches and weighed 1850
pounds. lt took about ten tons Of
milk to produce 1t. and 1t was pressed
into shape by specially constructed
press in a Lowville cheese factory,
where it was bought by the Chicago
firm through the cold storage company.
The company has shipped quite a
number Of cheeses weighing as much
as 200 pounds. but this was the lar
gest one il ever tackled. 1t has a tank
which is large enough to paraffin a

was paraffined outside the tank by

over it. After the air tight liquid had
cooled the cheese was incased in a
