LOCAL PRODUCE

Following the publication of the
Ardmore Has 1t" edition by the
Ardmoreite, letter was received in
this office from an estimable lady
who signs herself THE Farmers
Friend"
She complained in the letter that
while merchants insisted that home
people do their trading at home,
local grocers bought fresh produce
from foreign concerns, while local
produce went to rot and while
home produce men tried in vain to
sell their stuff.
This was serious complaint in
deed and one that deserved con-
Sideration so the Ardmoreite sent
a staff man around to the various
grocers 10 find out the why and
wherefores.
rs il fact the Ardmoreite man
inquired, that YOU grocers discri-
inmate against home produce?"
Absolutely no" they replied.
we prefer home produce and buy
il when ever possible. Some times
we have to turn down local produce
because we are overstocked, but
not day passes but we stock up as
faS as possible on the truck brought
in from Carter county farms"
What sort OF prices do you pay
home produce men" was asked the
grocers
I'VE pay them on basis OF
wholesale market prices, in order
that We can make the same margin
Of profit on home stuff that we
would on foreign stuff
One grocer pointed to his win
dow, Everything there is home
grown except the celery and let
tuce" he declared There are egg
plant. peas, beans, tomatoes, onions
squash, corn and greens-all Local
market stuff"
Then ne went on to explain that
one OF the unjust angles OF the
business was that farmers woulC
hiring their stuff to town in III,
morning peddle it all day and ex
pcct a real price for what was lef
over in the late afternoon.
II was further pointed out tina
the city requires no license for ped
ding. in fact the city as well as th,
grocerS encourage peddling from
house to house, in order that farm
ers and produce men may reap jus
as much as possible from thei
stuff.
The Ardmoreite has insisted be
fore that what is needed here is ;
marketing system for home produce
men. The Chamber OF Commsrc,
is already working upon some sucl
plan. We understand. No on,
thing could be OF more benefit thar
to have ready market here fo
everything the farmers bring in

produce season would probably b,

Examinations Better Than Reward

Governor Robertson has offered n
standing reward for arrest and conv.c.

crooked work for their own benefit,
generally resulting in wreclting the
banks.
We doubt If this reward will have
any effect in so far as 1t means ar
rests and convictions of bank officials.
II will serve, however, 10 emphasize
the root of the evil. This lies in the
state law which provides an INSULT.
