Vlr-r'nia has become one of the 1 rgest tnvkihg sections of the U. 9. ' North Csrofiua has like favdr aHe conditions of si U and climate for. tru'k crps. So far however orr' trucking has Wn rather scat 'ering. fw growers mtfking a ree is Ity of truck. One of the great faotors In the de velopmeht of the trucking industry in Virginia. has been the success of its two great organizations of grow ers. Virginia has two of the larg est growers organizations in the United States, the Southern Produce Company of Norfolk.: doing a busi ness of eight million dollars a year, and the Eastern Shore of Virginia Produce Exchange, doing a business or five million dollars a year. There is only one larger organization in the "United States, namely, the Cali fornia Fruit Growers Exchanee. which did a business of $120,000000 q the last 9 years, or over 120,000, 000, for the last year. T,he Eastern Shore of Virginia Produce Exchange, which has fur nished a model for our Carolina Po tato Exchange, has developed , the very best markets for the Irish and Sweet potatoes, strawberries and cab !,ages grown by its members. It has Us Own agnts In srveral of the larg est marTtefs of the country, and 95 per cent of its potatoes are sold by . wire F. O. B. It actually distri butes potatoes as far west as Den .evr and ' its Red Star Brand Is known and dealt iin on the Pacific Coast. AH this is made possible throuh its splendid system of inspec tton, which insures a uniform pack. Buyers all over the United States know wlist they are buvlng when they 'order the RED STAR brand. North Carolina has yet to develop a reputation for Its potatoes. Its sweets are sometime) bought and resold as Vlralnlas oh the Chicago market, because Virginia hi'S the lead on us, in recitation. lst year, the Carolina potato Exchange organized by the Division of Markets, made an excellent bo ginning. For the first time, in the history of the stale Carolina pota toes wi re quoted on New York for SO cents per barrel above VirKinla potatoes. Generally our dlgalng season has been made unduly short because the trade has preferred graded stock from Virginia as soon as It comes on eht markets, rather than th un Knuled stock from North Carolina. Wl'h the uniform pack the Exchanee last year found Its r.eent In North ern , markets held up price and as a resut a. more profitable " sea son with a longer , (M'-'frlng' period t-as maihi pcssibln. This year, the plan Is to establish new branches of the Exchanee In Jarvlsburit, Poplar Branch, and at oilier points In Pas quotank or Camden Counties where no names should be scratch j on th ballot.
