THAT OLD PLANTATION BELL"

Have yon eyer been a-hoeing when
tie SUI was way up high
When you friMed and you sizEled
and you thought that you would fry,
When your tired limbs were trembling a
the landscape stewed and whirled,
When the rows that you we're hoeing
seemed to reach around the world2
Then you understand the meaning of
"dinnelaion smell, +"
For you've heard the angel.music
of an old plantation bell
have been to courtly operas and
have listened there enchanted
BY the frenzy Of the music with
my hungary soul bacchanted:
When the writhing tones were colling
like a fantasy alive
Like the glowing Of the Phoenix
when the ashes would revive
But tits nothing, man, It's nothing to
that soulrestoring spell
That upon person by that
old plantation bell.
How often in the city with its restless
throw and flow
Have longed to hear that music
that | one time used to know.
am sick of all this shammipg, and
the fake also the steak.
Just think of all those waffles that
Aunt Liza used to make.
Bat better day is coming. Ii in heaven
| ever dwell,
| want the lord to call me with
that old plantation bell.

| hardly know Of any better way
to explain to you the help that the
Truck Growers Association can be
to the farmers of this community
than to draw for you a mental pic
ture of two ships, one canoe
that you have been sailing in, the
other ship, The Truck Growers
Association that we expect you to
sail in.
You started out when you were
very young to sail across the sea
OF life in a canoe that was pulled
by a paddle that we will call cot
ton. You expect to reach the har
Dor of success before you passed
the meridian Of life but you have
failed. Your engine has broken
down, the ship has gone to peaces
old age has overtaken you before
you made port; so you have given
up and said the world was against
you, The storms have been
ferce; the voyage has been long.
rough and rocky, because you
tried to make the trip alone.
You have been sailing without
wireless or telephone, compass or
chart. You haven't known but
very little about your engine (cot-
tom and ship. The sun, stars
and moon have'been your guide
the moon the most Of the time.
This is an age of progress so let
me draw for you a picture of an.
other ship that we shall call A.
mite-Wilkinson Counties Truck
Growers Association. This ship
will make the same voyage that
you set out years ago to make.
We expect to make port in much
less time than it has ever been
made. We have a captain pres
ldent) and a staff of officers (Di
rectors) and in a few days they
will muster a large crew to mand
the ship. The ship has been built
double bottom and waiter tight,
1t will be equipped with charts,
compass, teleghone, wireless and
all OF the available literature on
navigation. The ship will keep
in touch with the weather bureau
(markets) so that the storms and
rough seas may be lodged. The
officers won't be satisfied with one
engine to pull the ship but will
put in several which we shall
name as follows: Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, beans, peas, fruit,
tomatoes, and cucumbers. If one
engine breaks down we will make
the voyage just the same. You
couldn't do that with your engine
(cotton).
When member joins the crew
he will take his choice of the en-.
glnes to operate. Some will oper-
ate two or more. Some engins
will be so big that several hund-
red men will be required to oper-
ate them. The crew will be in
structed on how to care for the
engins and run them to the great
est degree of efficiency.
The ship will not be able to
muster a full crew in the home
port but will get part Of tis crew
in near by ports. II you want to
join the crew and make the trip
sign up at once and pay your
membership dues and you will
be ready for the voyage. The
state rooms haven't been furnish
ed so there will be no room for
passengers, just a working crew.
You may get sea sick when you
meet the first storm but the cap
tain can't excuse you from the
crew, for you have signed up for
the voyage and agreed to perform
certain duties, so for the ship to
make the trip on time you will
