Foreign Problems Get Attention
As the new administration settles
down TO working basis. both Presi-
dent Harding and his chief advisers
are giving increasing attention to the
foreign relations
For the moment selections of dipio-
matte representatives abroad, relations
with Mexico. the Rhine situation. the
league of nations and the Panama
Costa Rican controversy are subjects
n the forefront, although there are
no indications that any has reached
! stage forecasting immediate action.
The question of Mexican relations
hinges on the ability OF the new ad.
of President 0bregon TO
establish regime that will win Ameri-
an recognition. There is little evil
ience OF confidence that Q formal
recognition may be possible in the
lear future.

bout 100 hampers could be raised
per acre. A hamper, 7-S of bushel
cost zoe and the picking 25c. From
an acre Of beans the speaker had,
no beans were picked From 700 to
1900 pounds Of fertilizer we're re-
quired per acre.
Mr.. Rhymes said that about 220
crates of tomatoes could be raised per
acre, that they sold at an average
of $1.04. Including labor, boxes and
outside packing. an acre Of tomatoes
cost about 500. Tomatoes cannot
be grown just anywhere; black soil
and black sand that do not remain
cold too late are suitable, and the
same or better land is required for
cabbage. Beans will grow anywhere
and English peas on loan or bot
tom land. Red land is good for carr
rots and beets.
If beans are drug on the mar
ket, and you have to plow them un-
der one year, plant them again the
next for II you plant only what paid
well the preceding year, that crop
is sure to be produced in SO great
volume as to bring prices down. One
acre each in beans. tomatoes, peas,
carrots and beets was good arrange
ment for a I'VE acre tract. Trucking
land was worth $50 to 5000 per acre
at Crystal Springs, and a net profit
OF $50 per acre year In and year out
was about the average. TO raise as
cheaply as possible and to produce
the crop early was one secret. One
Monday tomatoes would bring S1.55
per crate, and the next 5000. A
good truck plot for man and his
family to raise was S or s acres, be-
sides corn. The negroes could raise
truck successfully.

Mr.. w. M. Turnbough related that
from his own ventures in trucking he

Crystal Springs to Wesson in 1906.
He stated that shipping men were
frequently accused of dishonest hand
ling when they were guiltless, that
he had shipped cabbage for farmers
at 75c crate, while few men were
able to get $1.25 from another, and
was able to prove himself guiltless
only by showing the shipping checks.
His brother had hade $4,000 on the
apple crop in Idaho one year and
lost $4,000 the next.
Mr.. Mathis said that he and the
growers shipping with him struggled
along and that in Philadelphia the
farmers pack brought SC more than
the blue ribbon product Of Lotterhos
& Huber. He said he did not stand
for the crook business" as express
ed by the preceding speaker and
said that lack Of confidence between.
man and man was to blame for much
of the difficulty; that often those
who blame don't know what the pro-
duct is worth on the market.
Mr.. Mathis stressed the Importance
Of knowing the nature Of the soil,
securing seed from a reliable seed
house. and putting up good salable
package. When Mr.. Mathis stopped
shipping at Wesson and shipped from
Beauregard he said the farmers real
ized he would handle their business
right and shipped 5 cars to Wesson's
23. He payed q tribute to the head
OF a trucking industry here some
years ago, saying he was a man Of
honor and integrity and had failed
only because he did not know the
business thoroughly. Truck Is 30

made it profitable. Dried peaches
brought the California producers SO

a pound, one year, while the next
year. by cooperative selling, the
growers received SC and the consul
mer paid 16c. The speaker had seen
a commission man in Ft. Valley, Ca,
make $4,000 in one day on peaches
with no other expense than railroad
fare and hotel bill and this profit
should be eliminated The speaker
said that most people inclined to dis
honesty when possible. At Ham
inond, a strawberry grower put green
plums in boxes with a layer of ber-
ries on top. He was fined $500 upon
discovery. The speaker was not class
ing all middlemen as crooks he said.
He advised putting man under bond
and paying him fiat sum for selling
the Lincoln County farmers produce.
He also said unless the farmers were
tied up and obliged to sell through
an organization they would not do
