Farmers and business men of the county met last night to dis cuss the organization of a far mer’s market, which would in clude a packing plant for fruit and vegetables grown in the county. Dr. E. A. Proctor, Fruit and Vegetable Marketing Specialist frcm N. C. State University, was guest speaker. The speaker pointed out that the tomato and bean program in the county has great possibi lities here. Larger farm income may be realized if farmers of the county will grow the crops and cooperate with the agricul tural agences, he said. After hearings the State and County Agricultural officals, Mr. Thomas F. Byrd offered a resolution that a temporary or ganization be set up to get plans under way for the market and packing plant. Rev. John Powers was elected as temporary chairman, with Albert Sutton as secretary. It was voted to organize a THE YANCEY RECORD \ ancey County Cooperative, with organization plans to be under the direction of informed State Agricultural representa tives. It was hoped that 125 members will join in the initial organ’za tion. Other meetings will be call ed at a later date, and it is an ticipated that more farmers will attend and join. It was pointed out that this could be a great opportunity for Yancey County farmers to im prove the : r economy. Madison County, it was said, marketed more than one and one half million dollars in toma toes last year. Approx mately 90 acres of land has been designated by farmers to grow tomatoes in the county and others are expected to sign up for crops. Although many plant beds have been damaged by cold, plants will be available, it was pointed out. The Extension De partment has ordered thousands of tomato plants which may be purchased by farmers at $7 per thousand. The plants were order ed from Georgia and are avail able now. -(hi I<n < r '<-t Spring Cleaning Spring is the time for evalua tion-for taking stock of things from yourself to your home.
