There should be a strong DESIRE
and not only a desire, but a move
ment should at once be started 70
create marketing system in this
country for all products OF the SOL
in this section. Lubbock, even win
her rapidly growing population can
not begin 20 consume the produce
that our farmers can raise ana
bring 10 this place during the year,
so il behooves us 20 supply mar
ket for the products, and have
arrangements whereby these pro
ducts can be sold Gny day OF the
wear that they are offered here for
sale by the farmers Arrangements
have during the recent years been
made whereby there IS market
for all the cream that is brought TO
Lubbock, and our poultry houses
have been furnishing a brisk mar
ket for the poultry that is offered
for sale here, then why could there
not be marketing arrangement
made for garden and field products.
