Truck and Fruit
Crop Outlook
Realizing that our farmers
and growers generally are
greatly bothered as to planting
truck crops on account of the
high freight and express rates
that" now exist, it seems that a
short article on this as well iu '
other matters may be of gen-
eral interest: In the first place
I will state that since my last
article I have been out among
the trade to some extent and
find business much better than
it was in December and Janu-
ary: In fact, the amount of!
busineess is almost normal in
many of our consuming sections
in the truck crop and fruit cir-
cles especially. And the trade
in general is of the opinion that
the demand will be first rate
at somewhat reduced prices
from last year and the year l>e-
fore: In this limited way, I be-
lieve we are about as safe in
planting truck crops as any oth-
er crops we will raise: Of
course we will not get a fancy

Our city has been needing new
and greatly enlarged quarters

to note this step forward by the
Postoffice department. We un-

Quick Work
II. M. Williams, recorder for
the Modern Order of Praetori-
ans, tells us of the prompt pay
ment of a death claim last week,
The insured, Mrs. Bettie Nelson,
died in Louisiana a short time
[ago and on Thursday evening
Mr. Williams mailed proof to the
Dallas office. Saturday morning
check in payment of claim wis
received and delivered by Mr.
Williams to the beneficiary.
past, but if we can realize the
cost of production and a reas-j
onablc p/ofit, it will decidedly,
beat Ai.'V 4 tton. aa a moneyj
proposition. As to freight and
express rates, the whole coun-
try is up in arm to get a reduc-
tion, and the move for an emerg-
ency lowering of rates on fruit
crops is so strong that
it will probably be successful
but whether these rates are
lowered or not, people with mon-
ey and drawing fair wages are
going to eat fruit and truck aa
(a part of their food if they can
get it: So as I see the situation,
there is about as good prospect
for fruit and truck prices jus any
other kind of farming and es-
pecially is this true if we would
plant as much as possible of
such crops as will make feed
for stock provided there is not .
a maket for them as food.

Mt. Vernon May
Try It Again
O. Marvin Thomas reports that
his firm, Thomas and Cassel, is
doing a fine wholesale business
in Mt. Vernon. He states the
people of that town have their
eyes on oil development here and
should the Morris well be a pro.
ducer it is almost certain that
the well near Mt. Vernon will be
finished.
