An especial consideration If a man is at
tempting to operate a truck patch single
handed. More important yet, the trucker who
is able to lay out some money on his prop
erty will have some sort Of a drainage and IT.
rigating system which will carry off surplus
water in the case Of torrential showers and
will, on the other hand, enable him to water
his gardens" when a rain famine comes. He
will have more or less pretentious green
houses that will enable him to raise early
vegetables and to give his garden stuff an
early start under glass. And he may even
have facilities for raising some products in
shade or partial shade. And SO there might
be continued almost indefinitely the enumera-
ton of the innovations that have bettered
modern trucking conditions, all the way up to
the facilities on those large truck farms
where we find miniature or narrow gauge
railways traversing the trucking area and af-
fording the means of transferring the vege-
tables, berries, etc., in one handling from the
pickers to the boats or railroad cars that are
to convey them to market.
A notable characteristic of modern methods
OF trucking is the extent to which specializa-
ton is being practiced. We still have. of
course, farms by the thousand where every
thing from onions to pumpkins are raised. but
we also find, to an increasing extent, progress
sive men who are devoting their whole invest
ment and energy to one product and endeayor-
ing to secure that extra quality which special
lzation produces and which always means
higher prices when the ultimate consumers
learn of It's presence. This explains the '1et.
tuce farms where nothing but lettuce is cul.
tivated and the celery farms In Michigan
and elsewhere that concentrate on this capri
cious product and the watermelon patches"
OF the southland SO on through a long list.
AS a sequel to this era of specialization has
come the practice of many truckers to dispose
OF their products direct to the consumers OF
course this means added profits, for not only
does it cut out the middleman's margin but in
many instances the trucker finds discriminat-
Ing city folks willing to pay him more than
the prevailing retail price in order to obtain
products Of exceptional quality and which they
can depend upon being fresh. Some truckers

these fashionable hotels do not demand y
rates" because they buy in quantity. Ihey
are SO glad to be assured Of dependaOie Vese'
tables of the highest grade that they pay as
much as the same stuff would bring at feraA
in the same city.
An interesting 'side line" that has developed
in connection with twentieth century trucking
is the canning and preserving industry. we
see this tendency exemplifed in two ways.
First, there is a disposition on the part OF
the big canning firms that put up" tomatoes,
corn, etc, to raise their own vegetables ana
IN not a few instances in late years the can
ming factories have been moved ito the fields"
to be near the source of supply. Secondly,
and more significant, Is the disposition OF
truckers to put up in glass or tins their sur
plus products and to market them direct. The
farmers wife and daughters, from time out OF
mind, have been stocking the home larder
for winter use in this manner, but latterly
they have taken to picking and preserving
for the great outside public as well. In many
instances where the responsibilities have be-
come too much for the women folk on the
truck farm outside help is called in-school
girls eager to earn vacation money; summer
jboarders who are willing thus to pay their
way; and factory folk from the neighborfng
towns who are out of work temporarily, oW-
ing to the summer shut downs"
Time was when the average farmers wife
was wont to declare that 1t did not pay to
can or preserve for the market, however much
pride she might take in such work for the
household and however much qualification she
might feel when her jams and stewed fruits
took the prizes at the county fair. All this
stigma Of unproftableness has passed. how
ever. When the public viii pay twenty to

GARDEN TROUBLES

This Is the season when gardens grow. Gentle
reader, have you a garden? No? Oh, you live
in a city fiat where there wouldn't be room to
stand a garden up e~dgeways? Well, move out
of it right now and go where you can have a
garden. If you can't have one any other way,
make one. Everybody makes garden In the
spring. That Is why there is such a demand In
the spring for medicine that will correct bad
blood. Nobody ever planted bad blood In his
garden, but before the novice Is done with It
he will discover that bad blood is about the most
successful crop he can raise. II nature attended
to her business instead Of hanging around walt
ing for the man to do most everything himself,
gardening would be more attractive and popular.
But nature simply will not do a lick until a per-
sson gets the ground ready and lays it off in plats
and drills and rows and beds and things and
buys the seeds and plants them.
= After all that has been accomplished at great
labor and expense nature takes hold and shoves
the sprouts up out of the soil: but no more, for
when the plants have got a start once they Will
grow themselves. But they won't take care OF
themselves, and nature doesn't, so the man is
compelled to look after them. He has to look
after them all the time, too, because If he isn't
there to work just as hard from then to the
finish, as he did from the beginning to then,
the kind Of a garden he will have will cause his
wife and children to giggle at him and prompt
his neighbors to give him the horse ha-ha. Be
sides, there are the weeds and the bugs and the
rain and the drought and the chickens and the
dogs and the cats and the pigs and the boil
weevil and the pip and the scale and the codling
moth, and like as not somebody leaves the gate
open and the cows get in and Well, by thun-
deri it's no wonder all our troubles get their
start in q garden.-William ]. hampton. In Judge.

ted that the methods. now in vogue for keeping
celery are defective for commercial purposes.
Truckers arc working to solve the problem, how
ever. and ultimately will succeed. So, likewise,
they are striving for economies in other direc-
lions. For example, means have lately been
discovered for utilizing the greenhouses or fore
ing houses for vegetable raising all through the
summer instead Of allowing them to stand idle
throughout the interval. Some crops are found
to do better under glass even in midsummer.
Finally it may be noted that even the potato
has taken standing as a truck crop in late years
and thousands of acres are annually planted in
early varieties of, potatoes which are harvested
as soon as they attain suitable size and rushed
to market.

any experience comes to expect the inevitable
bad years" and to view them with some COM
placency, and even the grain grower does not
look for the same ratio Of profit from every
harvest. However, the truckers, particularly
those operating small farms or patches" are
wont to count upon each years productive
ness at a maximum and are co~rrespondingly
disappointed when dame nature does not ar
range things to their liking.
One explanation, too, of the emphatic COM
plants that are heard with reference to truck
ing conditions in an unfavorable year is found
In the number of newcomers in the feld-men
and women who prior to their present venture
had never had experience in farming of any
kind. The tales told in recent years Of the
profits and delights Of trucking, the ease with
which the products can be disposed OF, and the
comparatively small outlay required for a five
or ten-acre intensive farm" have combined
to lure into the field many people who. woe
to them, had no fund of experience to draw
upon. Particularly has this been the case
near our large cities where many small truck
farms have been started by city folks, either
as the "side line" of some city occupation or
with a view to obtaining an anchorage that
would later permit migration to the country.
AS in poultry raising and other supposedly
get rich quick" vacations there have been a
number of more or less bitter Establishments
Of late years in tn field of trucking, but, by
and large, the industry has developed ire
mendously. It has come to be appreciated by
many of the uninitiated that in truck garden
ing no more than in any other field can re
wards be obtained without hard work and that
here, as elsewhere. some experience is neces-
sary and that q man must expect to pay for
such experience If he has not acquired it at
the expense Of some body else before he struck
out for himself. Moreover, the uptodate
trucker has come to realize that he must de-
wise means to circumvent nature when she
frowns just as the fruit growers have dis
covered expedients for lodging frosts and
other menaces.
home to many people, engaged in or contem-
plating trucking is that a little capital is Of
immense advantage just as 1t is in every other
walk OF life. To be sure, the trucker who
leases his holdings or buys "on time at favor

to successful trucking.
