TO EMPHASIZE MARKETING.
Production, Preparation, and Distribution for Profitable Selling
Get Attention Farmers' Week.
Clemson College, Aug. 16.
Profitable selling of farm products will be the keynote of the program of the marketing division of Farmers' Week here August 29-September 3 according to Geo. E. Prince, chief of the division.
Mr. Prince will be aided by his assistants, L. H. Lewis and C. A. Owens; Miss Jane Ketchen, market specialist of Winthrop College; Messrs. Derrick, and Slocum, of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics; T. B. Young, manager of Carolina Cooperatives Consolidated, and others.
"How to Determine What Crops to Grow" will be discussed by Mr. Prince so as to drive home the truth that production at a profit hinges on demand, and that knowing what will sell is the first step in knowing what to produce.
