The tomato crop of this year, memorable
in many ways, is nearing its end. 1t is
most likely from its lessons the contract
system is doomed. If men mean what
they say the Gamer as well as the grower
will next year resort simply to the open
market, in which case the grower may
expect the prices to be gagged according
to the demand and condition in which
they may be offered on the market. AS
the producer, buyer or Gamer all feel
they have interests to serve and risks to
run, the new system will afford an all
round chance, and with large produc-
tion next year which is likely to happen
from the experience of the two past
years, there will be interesting times.
