I fuckers Of The
County Organize

At meeting which was largely at
tended and held in the court house
here last Thursday afternoon the
!Bamberg County Truck Growers as
sociation was formally organized and
launched into a reality. With the
havoc wrought by the boil weevil our
progressive farmers realize that in
the stability of organization and CO.
operation alone lies the secret of sue
cess and the future salvation of this
community; they understand that
other crops htan cotton, now de-
thrOned as king, must be raised !;
they know that various kinds of truck
can be successfully grown right here !;
but successfully and printable are
two distinct qualifications, and the
profit is what counts; and everybody
feels that in organizing to create a
market and protect the planters and
growers the key to the situation has
been obtained and the problem will
be solved. To be successful in any
endeavor every enterprise must of
necessity first be organized; if that
is properly done on progressive ba-
sis half the battle is won. And any
Bamberg county farmer who cherish
'es prosperity in the future should by
all means and in all haste become a
member Of the Bamberg County
Truck Growers association. The
cost is Insignificant; the bigger the
association the better for it's mem
bers; there is all to be gained;
nothing to any appreciable extent can
possibly be lost. Fruit growers in
other states never blossomed into
bountiful prosperity and blissful in
dependence until just such organiza-
tions were formed. Truck growers in
this and other states produced much
harvest for the market, but their
profits never mounted into the fabu-
lous sums which they now reach until
they became organized And so it
has been with the history Of every
other large farming industry every
where except king cotton, and cotton
alone as money crop has completely
gone to the bow vows. A great step
forward has been taken; the right
men are behind it, and in this pioneer
movement this community is going to
be successful.
At the meeting a suitable set of
bylaws successfully tried in other
sections was adopted. some money
was placed in the tressurer's hands,
and everything proper was done to
start the organization to functioning.
The following named prominent farm
ers and business men of the county
compose the board of directors: B.
F. Free, w A. Klauber and G.. E.
Bamberg, of Bamberg. C. w. Fogle,
of Denmark, H. B. Grimes, of Lees,
.B. p. Hartzog and w. B. Chitty, of
sOlar, and NJ w. Rentz and J. M.
Kirkland, Of Ehrhardt. These di-
rectors elected as officers the follow
ing: President, w. A. Klauber, vice
president, w. B. Chitty, secretary
and treasurer, H. N. Folk, of Bam-
berg.
Another meeting of the association
will be held here in the court house
on Monday, January End, 1922, at
which many matters of Importance
will be taken UP and discussed, and
1t is believed much benefit will accrue
therefrom. Everybody who expects
to plant any truck and who is not all
ready a member is urged for his own
good, for the good. of the associa-
tion and for the good of the communi
ty to become one then or before. A.
M. Brabham, of this city, presided at
the organization meeting as tempo
rary chairman,
