Truck Growers association is being
rapidly completed, with shipping
points in the four principal business
eenters in the county, thus making
the shipments easy for the individ-
ual. The big problem before the
organization is grading. and packing,

veloped in this direction makes the
problem look easier. We held two
truck meetings recently, which were
well attended in spite of the rain
storms, and some good work was ac-
complished with the grading Of Gu
