With the arrival of HOO student reserve officers at Camp Mcclellan during the week, everything will begin to hum at the training post Monday morning and the next six weeks will be featured by the daily training schedule as administered to the college men from all of the states In the fourth corps area.
 It has been estimated by Anniston business men during the past year of training in AnnistCn that the com ing of the student officers means as much to the business life of Anniston as would an industry employing half that number of men, because business certainly picks up with that number Of extra men in the immediate neighb borhood.
 At the end of the present course at the camp the C. M. T. C. students in more than double that number Gf men will take the place of the re- serve officers and the business activity which follows the presence of large numbers of soldires and animals will have it's effect on the business conditions in Anniston.
 Wholesalers of the city are antici- pating one Of the best years in the history of Camp Mcclellan because
 
 buying supplies of every available kind on local markets.
 Truckers Reap Harvest
 In this connection truck farming has taken on more important aspect and growers of produce, whC have anticipated the needs of the army for the next few months, are. reaping a rich harvest even this early in the season.
 Arrangements have been made by Colonel Matthewson of the camp supply office for segrega ting the sellers of produce at a central point On the reservation every day, the result being that hundreds of wagons laden with home grown produce of every variety are driven into camp every morning and in a short time large amounts of good United States money has found it's way into the pockets of the farmers immediately surrounding the camp.
 Cooperating with the home demonstration agent and the county farm agent here. Calhoun farmers are not only profiting directly by the presence of the soldiers and trainees now stationed on the Mcclellan res ervatit Il, but Anniston has become an enlarged produce market by reason | Of the fact that many foreign peOple are stopping in Anniston now in or der to be closer to the soldiers and trainees, who are spending the sum mer here.
 Curb Market Likely.
 It is believed in many circles that the success which has come and is still coming tC the army plan of selling in the reservation will stimu- late the interest of local people in q curb market plan to such an extent that it will not be many months be- fore central assembly place for all sellers of produce will be fixed up in this city.
 And while the camp activities and the presence of so many extra peo- pie are putting great deal of money into circulation in Anniston and sur rounding territory, the foundry plants and miscellaneous industries of. the city are employing practically every applicant for work that shows up at the plants ;.Ad the pay rolls of the city ore growing larger and larger each week.
