TRUCK PRICES LOW;
CO-OPERATION URGED
In an effort to get some informa
[ tion of truck farming and market
. ing, W. B. Harrill, principal of the
, Glenwood school and booster of co
■ operative farming, made a trip rec
j ently to the eastei'n part of this
State and South Carolina. He re
ported early truck selling at the low
1 j est prices in • many years, due, he
■ says, to increased acreage and very
' favorable weather conditions mak
ing for larger yields.
Having in mind a big increase in
the Irish potato acreage in McDovv
■ ell county, Mr. Harrill was especial
| ly interested in the marketing of
that crop. He found that in sections
where the- farmers had no organiza
tion and sold anywhere in small
quantities, potatoes were selling for
fifty cents a bushel and even lower
at times. On the other hand, he
learned that in communities where
co-operative plans for marketing in
large shipments had been made the
price received was from seventy-five
cents to a dollar a bushel. These ear
shipment farmers were always sure
of a market and a profit, though
small, on this year's big crop.
Having assisted in starting inten
sive growing of potatoes at Glen
wood, Mr. Harrill is keenly interes
ted in the outcome, and hopes that
co-operative methods of marketing
will be the means of getting a fair
price on carload shipments. Eighteen
; ydting men of Glenwood agriculture
I class have planted some acreage. The
( crop looks fine at this time, Mr. Har
rill said, all fields being worked out
1 nicely and almost ready to "lay by".
Every effort will be made to realize
a substantial profit from Glenwood
potatoes.
There has just been started a
movement to build a potato curing
house at Glenwood, which is a fur
i '
ther step toward controlling the
market price.

GROWING SWEET POTATOES
i (By W. L. Smarr)
In McDowell county, the growing
of sweet potatoes offers an opportu
nity to try something different with
a reasonable expectation of securing
satisfactory results. This something
' different has special reference to
the kind and amount of fertilizer,
the distance of the plants in the
' rows, and the distance of the rows.
In a sweet potato growing contest
which was held in South Carolina
during the past year, T. L. Gram
ling, of Orangeburg, made a yield
of 449 bushels of No. l's, at a profit
of $265.00. His rows were 30 inches
apart, and the "slips" were set seven
inches in the drill. He used 1350
pounds of an 8-3-16 fertilizer. As a
general practice it is believed that
many of our farmers make their
, rows 3% or more feet wide, and set
the "slips" some 18 to 20 inches in
the drill, and apply 300 to 600
pounds of an 8-4-4 or 7-5-5 fertili
zer. A practice that is recommended
by our experiment station is to put
the rows 3 to 3% feet apart and set
the plants 12 inches in the drill.
From 600 to 1,000 pounds of a 10
4-8 fertilizer is recommended.
It may be that one will not be able
to buy such a fertilizer on the local
market, but such can be made by
using nitrate of soda and muriate of
potash with some of the fertilizer
which can be purchased in Marion. I
will be glad to help any farmer to
figure out the amount of each to add
to his fertilizer to give the desired
analysis.

baptist forces working
■ During the last two weeks several
meetings have been held looking to
a closer organization of work in the
First Baptist church prior to the
coming of the new pastor, Dr. P-. F.
Bray, and Mrs. Bray, who will be
here next week. Enlistment commit
tees were appointed to visit the
! members in efforts to secure the ful
lest co-operation of everyone in all
phases of church work to the end
that the congregation may be united
beforehand in the laudable purpose
of Making Dr. Bray's pastorate, an
unqualified success. Their reports
Ihave been very encouraging, and
the deacons feel that the church is
; entering a new era of moral and
I spiritual growth.
