 Truck and Fruit Growers Met.
 The Cove Truck & Fruit Growers Association met at the town hall last Saturday. Joe Hathaway, the presi- dent called the meeting to order and gave a nice little talk to the members present as to raising truck for the market and urging every farmer to become a member of the association. N. w. Elliott, the secretary stated that now was the time for each mem Der to state the number of acres of truck they expected to plant. in about 30 minutes more than 50 acres were promised. There were about 25 farmers present. Some were undecid- ed what and how much to plant. We have over 100 farmers when we get them all lined up that expect to plant truck and berries. We expect to hold these meetings every Saturday after noon to tell the farmer what to plant and when to plant and how to plant. Our secretary will be able soon to give prices on seeds, baskets, boxes, crates, and as soon as you decide what you will need see the secretary and tell him so he can order what you want. We expect to buy the best seed in the market at wholesale and sell to the farmer at cost Also to raise the best truck in Polk county and we want the | best cash price for it on track at Cove. The board of directors will get l busy now in few days to order sup i plies and have them here in ample time as the truck is ready for the market. We want every farmer to line up and raise all the truck and berries he can handle. We can ham, dle all the stuff that Polk county can raise at good profit for the farmer. The man who starts now is going to win, for this county is adapted for truck and berries, for fine flavor and | fine quality. We advise you to plant Radishes, Onions, Beans, Peas, New Potatoes, Cabbage, Tomatoes, Cucum- bers, Sweet Potatoes, Cantloupes and more sorghum. All this stuff does we'll in Polk county If you failed last year don't give up, but if at first you don't succeed, try, try again
