correspondence from there says thai;
a number of others will come into
the association before the growing
season opens.
The object of theassociation is
10 encourage The raising of molc
OF everything consumed and TO ed,
ucate the producer into more in
tensi;e system of farming. The prin-
clpai crops will be tomatoes, corn.
peas, beans and sweet potatoes. The
building of the cannery will prevent
any waste in case of an over-pro-
duction; all that part OF the crop
grown in excess of the local con
sumption will be canned in this plant,
packed and shipped to the wholesal-
er for distribution.
The organization OF truck grow
ers association is step in tn
right direction. There is enough
waste land-land in odd spOts. oid
barn yards, hog pens, etc. around
the average farm that could be
made into a system of revenue suf-
'icient 10 support the family on said
farm. Besides this there are acres
