Iia\e twenty bushels ot' soy beans ? at Ashworth's store at; $o.oi> lK'r bushel. They axe going still higher. The "Merfill Boys" of i.itiie Live." got busy, ami have sold over half "f their t?00 busels of potatoes to Sotun Carolina farmers tor. seed, at a price considerable above table stock pricc i. What Shall We Grow This Year? This question is being asked in a collective ami qualitative sense. What should the County as a whole make a special effort on. If the. season proves to We early, white potatoes will prove the best cash crop. Here the acclimated cob bler ami beauty will be recommend ed. These sfiauld be sold the last ol August and in September. We lost money by holding this year. If the season is late do not. expect much better prices than this year. The "Merrill Boys" kept record of cost, and they made their pota toes for twenty-four cents pin bushel. I-\,r .those who wish to truck across the Mour.-tain. mid-summer cabbage will bring good prices if marketed before October. The same for ex pressing to other points South. C ab baw from this section will not stand shipping in bulk to distant markets. Late cabbages are a good crop, but 1 would not advise an increase in acreage unless we hail marketing methods m" getting them to the near by towns. Sr.ap be.a'ns are always good sellers if the beetle will let us gro.w them at a reasonable cost. Will pay someone to devote -much time to a eonsjder i able acreage, and let other truck crops go-by. They can be produced with proper dusting, and there will be bitter litis: guns this year. Late tomatoes, and by this I mean after the 'middle of September, "an be soid in small lots or car lots at a ?good price. This means that you must get wilt resistant seed, and spray or dust for blight. The Buncombe and Henderson County men let their vines die just as competition wa ending, and had they held out t fros: ihey would have netted i.K>un $2.00 per bushel instead of ceiu>. Other crops that can be . sold mixed cars at fair prices inciuiii large sweet corn, like evergreen, pep ? pers. rhubarb, beets, turnips am" apples. There is an exceptional good- mar!-: et for head lettuce and celery in Aujj ust and September. Some lettuce e:< peris beliove this Countj c?i2i n ?\v on l * this lettuce by planting same north side of our steeper bluffs or mountain.-. Would be glad to have' a number try it. As for celery, no count rv can beat us for i]uaLt\. It hard to handle in the warm- months without iced cars, and tha? ^ large production. Outsiders are in-| sistirv that 1 try to develop this crop j in the County. It takes money and j equipment, but we might grow j enough for home use and our near-] by towns. Chickens for Meat Plaits are now made for chickens, by the c..r load m at this County this summer or fall. Mr. Lewis of the State Marketing De partment. will assist in getting a buyer and a chicken car. The I. oun ties that tried it last year are very much pleased, and by that I mean the prices paid' pleased the farmers. So raise all the eating stock you please and you can count on a market. " Those .yet having stocker cattle for sale, or wish to sell a car of fed cattle, will do well to get in touch with Mr. G. L.
