Local Cabbage Growers
Perfect Plans for Year
Last Years Business Finished at Directors Meet
ing-Chief of the Marketing Division is
Giving Organization Timely Aid

The Directors of the Cabbage Grow
ers association met Saturday and dis
cussed the various phases of the asso-
citation is detail. They decided to
pay 25 cents more for last years cab
bage, making a total of so cents per
hundred. They believe the future of
the business is bright The expense
OF getting started, making adjust
ments and few mistakes made the
price of cabbage low for the past
year, but since these adjustments
and these mistakes are overcome the
directors believe that the price of
cabbage will climb each year.
Mr.. George R. Ross, chief of the
Marketing Division was in town last
week and conferred with Mr.. J. H.
Betty, whom the marketing division
has put on the road as salesman. Mr.
Ross is very much pleased with Mr..
Betty's report and decided to con-
tinue the work. Mr.. Betty has al
ready sold ali of last years kraut
which is being moved rapidly. Mr.
Ross asked Mr.. Betty to return to
the market and sell this years kraut
so that we could proceed on sound
basis. In this substantial way the
Marketing Division has come to the
rescue of this new industry and is
giving it help that should put it on
its feet and cause it to become a pro-
fitable industry, not only for the
county but for the state. The Direc-
tors in their meeting expressed their
appreciation for the work that Mr..
Ross is doing for them and while
the price of cabbage this year was
not large they believe the industry
is going to grow.
Mr.. Betty stated again and again
that he had cut this kraut in COM
parison with all other brands on the
market and that he has never found
one that is nearly SO good. The job
bers are pleased with it and state
that next year it will be impossible
for US to supply the demand.
Mr.. Betty has covered the ter
ritory within radius of 125 miles
of Boone and practically every store
within that radius will have Watauga
kraut for sale this year, not large
quantities but enough for the trade
to become acquainted. There is sold
each year within that radius more
than ten times as much kraut as vas
made in Watauga last year. If the
local association can get charge of
the greater part of that business it
will mean the building of large
industry in this section of the State.
The directors decided in their meet
ing to allow each individual farmer
to do at least part of the hauling
if he would do so in accordance with
the principals of the association.
1t seems that the only trouble "a
head of the organization is the same
that confronts the school, church,
and every other organization of indi-
viduals-that is a lack of coopera-
ton. This is testing time for our
farmers. Success depends upon wheth
er or not they are willing to sub
merge their own individuality and
become a part of one large enter
prise.

An attack will be launched at the
special session which is to be re-
sumed next Wednesday, the subject
of a conservative motion of censure
being withdrawal by the attorney
