Mr Itoss :< very mucii pleased with Mr. ilet.ty s report and decided to continue th. work. Mr. Bfetty has already sold all of last year's kraut which i lu ng moved -..nidiy. Mr. ito>> asked Air. Deity to return to the market and sell this year's kraut so that \\ < could ;>i jcc. i on sound basis. In tins substantia' way the .Marketing Division has come to the rescue of this new industry and is giving it h< p that should put ?t on its f?*et and cause it to become a pro Citable industry, not only for the county liu* for tin state. The Director* in their meeting expressed their appreciation for the work thai Mr. ItoEs is doing for tliem and while the pi ice of Cabbage this year was not large the\ S? ;lieve the industry is going to grow. Mr. Betty stated again and again that he had cut this kraut in comparison with all other brands on the market and that he has never found one that is nearly so good. The jobbers are pleased with it and state that next year it will be impossible for us to supply the demand. Mr. Betty has covered the territory within a radius ?>f 125 miles of Boone ami practically every store within that radius will have Watauga kraut for sale this year, not large quantities but enough for the trade io become acquainted. There is sold each year within that radius more than ten times as much kraut a? vas made in Watauga last year. If the local association can get charge of he greater part of that business it wib mean uic building of a large ndustry in this a ction of t.h?- State. The directors di vided in their meet :.g to allow each individual farmer ; to do at ieasi a part of the hauling if he would do so in accordance with . prinicpals < i the- association. 1 It seems that the only trouble ai head of the organisation is the same -nai coniroms ui< scnooi, enurcn, anil every other organization of individuals?that is a lack of cooperation.
