FRIDAY, MAY 7, 132fi, THE FRANKLIN PRESS PAGE TWO FARMERS PLANNING TO SHIP VEGETABLES THIS SUMMER Franklin, N, C, M'.y 6, 1920. Dear Farmers:' A good 'number of farmers along the Tallulah Railway in this county seem to be interested in growing truck crops for shipment to South Georgia and Florida, during late sum mer. To avoid glutting certain mar kets and to avoid ' competition of neighbor against neighbor it will be necessary to have cooperatve produc tion as well as cooperative market ing. In other works, the farmers should plant the same varieties of vegetables, and' should make plant ings on same dates, in oracr inai vegetables may be ready to ship at the same time. In older to reach the large towns and to avoid the cities that are often glutted, it will be nec essary to ship iced cars containing several kinds of vegetables. This is necessary because a small town can not use a ' solid car of one kind of vegetable, but can use a car of several kinds of vegetables before the spoil. From what I can learn, most of the farmers are planning to plant beans and not many other vegetables.- Thif would be' a great mistake, because there would not be enough of the oth er vegetables to make mixed carloads Since the bean beetle came, we can not ship beans to Florida.. Large; cit' Its that can use a car of 6ne kind of vegetable, are eenerally a poor mar- w ' F.vnress ihioments to smal' towns are badly wilted and damaged! en arrival, and do not bring as good a price as when shipped in iced cars, ir carload lots. So, let me urge you to plant some of the vegetables listed below instead of planting so many beans. We plan to try to ship three cars of vegetables each week during .the last week of July, during the month of August, and during the first week of September. To do this, we will need eighteen carloads. To ptow eighteen carloads, it will take at least fifty acres planted to vegetables, un der average conditions. In order that . we may know what to ' ekpect and what to look for markets for, please fill in the blank below, putting in the acres or fraction of acres of the veg etables that you expect to grow and Mail it to me at once.

V, If enough farmers are interested to 'grow the required acreage and vari eties there should be a meeting of those interested for the purpose of organizing a Vegetable Growers' As sociation and agieeing upon the va rieties to be grown. Such an organi zation could order cooperatively such supplies as seeds, fertilizers, ' spra niaterials and crates. . Assuring you that I am ready to assist in planning this work and helping to make it a success, I am, Very truly yours, JOHN V. AJtRENDALE, 1 ' County Agent.
