STRIKE SITUATION QUIET
AT WATER VALLEY SHOPS

A casual visitor in Water Valley
would never know that strike OF
/. c. Shops Craft was in progress by
the condition of affairs in Water Val

Only a very few men came out
when the strike was called on July l.
More men are on the pay roll Of the

they have all the men they need and

Low PRICES HIT
TRUCKERS ASSN
Growers Hard Hit By Market
Conditions-Acres of To.
matoes, Canteloupes and
Watermelons Unable to be
Moved.

The Water Valley Truck Growers
Association is greatly discouraged
and face disaster in their first years
effort. In the first place planting
was late and the season has not been
at all favorable for the enterprise.
The truckers did fairly well with the
early beans, cabbage, peas and pota-
to crop but they are getting hit in
the neck on canteloupes, tomatoes
and watermelons.
Owing to lateness of production
and present market conditions there
is practically no market except local
consumption.
Acres of fine tomatoes, canteloupes
and watermelons are now ripening
and rotting in the fields-foreign
markets will not more than pay trans
portation charges at present time.
The production is A No. but no
buyers.
This condition is indeed bad for
the truikers, and every effort should
be put forth by the local people to
help the growers in every way pos
sible. A good suggestion is for the
local people to make special effort
to buy as much of the produce as
possible to use. Make a special ef-
fort for each family if possible to can
tomatoes, use melons and canteloupes
extensively for home consumption
and even send some to relatives and
friends living in cities and other points
where the production is limited. We
buy "cold drinks, cigars, etc. every
day--why not melonsH
