Read The Want Ads Growers Looking To Local Supply Recent Unfavorable Weath er Conditions In Georgia Has Focused Attention Of Northern Truck Far-j mers On This Area According to telegrams, Georgia tomato plant growers who sup ply most of the plants for can neries in eastern states, are being hit hard this year by continuous rains. The newspapers have also paid much attention to the serious early farming conditions in Geor i gia. Some of the canneries de pending on Georgia have tele graphed asking of the prospects [ here. I The Georgia plant lands are clay. One 7-inch rain last week is said to have packed these lands so hard that it will b^ impossible for the seed that have been plant ed to break through. It is also said that the continuous rains have been planted to break through. It is also said that the continuous rains have prevented all but a small part of the acre- J !age from being pianted. State-1 I ments in the press from Georgia j farmers the ' later part of last 'week was to the effect that it would be two weeks after the rains cease before the lands be came dry enough to work. At the time these statements were made the rains were still con tinuing with no prespects of re lief. On the river road between Southport and Wilmington the 12 acres put in tomato seed on March 6th are now coming up fast and looking fine. Another 12 acres is| being seeded this week and 12, more will be planted the first of next week. About 70 workers will be need ed to, pull plants and load the trucks for the New Jersey people. With the planting being done slowly these pickers will be able to take care of each field as the plants mature. The process is to pull enough plants each day to load a truck by 3 p. m. The truck leaves 'immediately for Shiloh, N. J., and workers in the | fields there can take over with 'planting by 7 a. m., the n<jxt day. j 15 hours are required for the jtrtfck runs from Southport to i New Jersey. Plants from Georgia I are in transit more than twice that long. SMITH-DOUGLAS The Finest General Crop Fertilizer For Use On Brunswick County Land!!
