NUMBER EIGHT THE 4 ' 3 hi I. . 1 1 ! in MOVEMENT STARTS FOR ORGANIZING TRUCK GROWERS Preliminary Meeting At More head City. All of Southeast Section to be Included A meeting is to be held in More head City tonight, Thursday, which is one of the first steps in a movement that looks to the organization of the truck growers of Carteret county. In fact this is part of a general scheme to organize the truck growing business in all of southeastern North Carolina. There will be a county as sociation with as many locals as are needed. The meeting tonight is to discuss and formulate plans for or ganization. Representatives of the State Department of Agriculture will be present. County Agent Over street and several others from Beau fort expect to attend the meeting. The movement now unuerway is to organize the truck products of east ern Carolina by districts so that the sale of these products from these dis tricts will be facilitated and put on an economical basis by providing steady business in paying volume for national distribution throughout the entire year and, at the same time, to eliminate uneconomical seasonal competition between the production from different districts within the same territory. The territory included in this scheme is bounded by a line com mencing on the coast at Beaufort, and running thence to Bayboro, to New Bern, to Kinston, to Goldsboro, to Smithfield, to Fayetteville, to Laurinburg, to the South Carolina line and thence down the coast and northward along the coast to Beau fort There will most likely be formed eight local cooperative associations, following the method of organization of the Wilmington Truck Growers Cooperative Association, with one central organization made up of lo cals. Each organization will operate under a charter and by-laws. They will sell their produce the first year through the same distributor and will enroll their members under the same form of contract. The various con tracts between the proposed associa tions and the distributors will be the game employed by the Wilmington Association. The organized territory will be di vided into districts. Any fruit or vegetable which is produced in suf ficient volume in any area to be prof itably handled under contract, either by itself or together with other pro ducts marketed at the same time, will be included in the contract. Crops produced in the district in insufficient volume to be handled profitably un der contract will be handled as far as possible along with the contract crops in the same manner as is now being employed by the Wilmington Association. The service cluge made by the distributor for selling non-contract crops from any district will be the same charge as is made for handling the same crop in dis tricts where the crop is on a contract basis, wherever possible. Ultimately all organization should be formed into a Federation with a view to organized buying and selling for the entire group from one central headquarters. For the present, how ever, each association is to be a strictly independent unit, identified with the others only in the employ ment of a common distributor. It is expected that such associa tions will be formed at Chadbourn, Clarkton, Wilmington, Wallace, War saw, New Bern, Mt. Olive, Beiufort and Kinston. Marketing Association Formed at New Bern Following the plan mapped out at the general meeting for organizing the trucking industries of the east along marketing lines a group of farmers from Craven and nearby counties met at New Bern Wednes day, February 4th, to discuss coop erative marketing and the idea of Mr. G. R. Foulke, representing the North Carolina Division of Markets, discussed the principles of coopera tive marketing and its application to the development of the trucking in ( Continued on page four) est MATTERS OF INTEREST Editor of the News: In your last week's issue giving an account of a special meeting of the county commissioners you blate they sold $150,000 of bonds at piivate sale to pay only the deficit in the coun ty expenses no new work to be done out of this money.

These buildings were one county. These buildings were one so that the plastering is all discolor- ed and falling off in places. Most' of the roois leak and some have al- ready had to be repaired.
