A report on the marketing of farm products in October was made by R.P. Harris, agricultural teacher in the High school, to the county commissioner at their meeting in Hillsboro last week.
The amount of money taken in during the month, for the products collected by the cooperative truck on the six routes in Orange county, was $2,402.
Gas and oil for the truck cost $21.60. The fees collected from the farmers whose products were sold—small commissions of a cent a dozen on eggs and a proportionate sum for other things—came to $67.72.
The quantities collected and marketed during the month were: fruit, 46 bushels; eggs, 969 dozen; cured meats, 142 pounds; butter, 276 pounds; vegetables, 420 pounds; and poultry, 4,762 pounds.
The vegetables are listed in three divisions because of the different units of weight and measure employed in marketing them.
