FOR MARKET
Well Attended Meeting of Potato
Growers at Business League
This Morning.

There was very well attended
meeting at the Business League this
morning from 8 to II o'clock Of farm
ers and others interested in growing
Irish Potatoes for shipment.
Mr.. E. L. Robinson, Market Agent
Southern Railway was present and
prepared to have Chicago buyer enter
into contract to pay $1.OO per bushel
fob. cars at point Of shipment, but
recommended that the growers raise
the potatoes without entering into
contract, as there is every indication
that the prices will be higher. 1t was
finally decided by those present to
plant without contract.
Mr.. Robinson stated if there was as
many as ten car loads produced, that
buyers would come to Greenwood and
buy the potatoes fob. cars, or he
could make arrangements with the
foremost marketing agency in the
south to sell the potatoes out right
at Greenwood for the growers on a
commission not exceeding 3 per cent.
providing there is 100 acres planted;
furthermore the market agent Of the
Southern Railway will assist growers
to make any arrangements they wish
with regard to selling the potatoes in
event they do not desire to engage
the services Of regular responsible
marketing agency.
It was determined to organize the
Greenwood Potato Growers Associa-
tion, and Mr.. J. R. O'Neal, Demon
stration Agent Of LeAore County, is
going to visit all prospective growers
and enroll them as members of the
association, and ascertain acreage
they will plant.
After the potatoes have been plant
ed a meeting Of those enrolled as
members will be called and at this
meeting responsible officers will be
chosen to look after the details Of the
business of the Association.
Join the Potato Association.

There is great deal Of interest be-
ing taken in the organization Of the
Battery and the efforts in its behalf
by the Patriotic Committee have
aroused the people to thinking about
what it means. It has brought the
question directly to many Of the peo-
pie, "If war comes, who is to do the
fghting?" The general sentiment
seems to have been that the other
fellow could do it but the verge Of
war, on the United States is now tot
tering, has brought the realization
that if there is to be war everybody
will do the fighting.

organizations would 60 to war before
volunteer organizations and should
war come they will go short while
earlier but all will be called in the
