The wheat crop matures in September,and if you have any wheat the local millswill buy it, or wiW sell the flour for you. Theevaporators and canneries will handle fruitin the same way. The canneries will con-tract in advance for sweet potatoes, toma-toes and buy much of your fruit. There isalways an opportunity for a catch crop ofone kind or another, say peanuts, cowpeas,etc., and here, where we have a fruit-grow-ers association, we can easily produce e-nough of any commodity for entire carloadsof fruit or berries, or mixed carloads oftruck, potatoes, cantaloupes, etc., and buy.
