period covered by the Red Cross re-

Of the horror was flashed throughout

National Headquarters responded with
grant OF sl05,0O0 for relief work.
Governor Shoup of Colorado, apprs-

ORGANIZATION NEEDED
FOR TRUCKING INDUSTRY

Clemson College, June 27.-One
first step on the part of truck grow
ers in South Carolina Is organization
says +. l.. Harkey agent in market
ing, who finds that the biggest need
of the increasing number of growers
of truck crops is not better know
ledge of production but Il better
knowledge of grading, handling, and
marketing. Such organization, he
insists, should not be for pricc-fix-
ing or monopoly of products, but for
better service tc all concerned, from
producer to consumer.
Through a growers organization,
and only through such, can we per-
feet our grading and handling. If
the time should ever come when each
grower could market his products in
dependently of his ncighbors, it
would be only after he had spent
some years in an organization and
had become skilled in his methods
and had learned through co-opera-
ton what he could not have learned
otherwise. Since the organization
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture its workers have realiz-
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-06-29

ed the truth of the above statements.
1t has been for several years the
work Of specialists in the Depart
ment of instruct growers in the
better handling and packing of their
products for market. But they have
found that they could make little or
no progress in a community until
a cooperative spirit was developed
and some kind of growers organi-
zation formed. With an organiza-
tion the score Of more grades that
one might find in the cucumber
shipments, for example, could be
eliminated by employing expert
graders who could be instructed by
trained government specialists. All
cucumbcrs would then be uniform
in grade, marketing would be much
easier, and certain loss would be
eliminated.
An example Of cooperation in 4
certain part of South Carolina this
season, as compared with lack Of
cooperation in a certain other part Of
South Carolina will illustrate. In
the Southern part of the state we
have Il truckers organization that
shipped nearly $4,O00,OOO worth of
produce this past season. This pro-
duce included cucumbcrs, cabbage
and Irish potatoes. The organization
has nearly two hundred members,
has graders, inspectors and market
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-06-29

agents, and each member has learned
certain lessons about grading and
handling. He knows what it means
to put up a poor grade and have it
turned down by the inspectors. He
is willing to pay the price of CO.
operation, for he realizes that it has
meant money to him to market his
crop in this manner. When ap-
preached he says that there is no
other way to market produce.
In other sections we have several
hundred truck growers shipping
nearly as much produce as is shipped
by the organization referred to a
above, but having no organiza-
ton. Each grower prefers to ship
independently Of the Others, grading
or not grading his own product as
he sees fit. No uniformity has been
practiccd in handling or in selling.
and produce has not been sold
through established agents or chan
nels. Sometimes the growers have
a market and sometime they do not.
Sometimes they are able to sell grad
ed products and sometimes they are
able to sell products ungraded, and
when sold ungraded they say: "Why
grade? l got as much as the other
fellow and did | not grade" But
when prices are received it is found
that they range from eighteen cents
to three dollars and half for 4
bushel of cucumbers, which cucum-
bers if graded and handled through
an organization would probably have
sold at prices ranging from dollar
and half to three dollars and a
half a saving of thousands of dol
lars to the growers and saving
also the consumers in the markets
who possibly paid as good price
for poor stock as for good stock.
