TONS OF PRODUCE
AWAIT SHIPMENT
South Jersey Farms Teen
With Products of the
Soil

Though some Of the storms that have
swept over South Jersey have been
destructive Of crops, yet the season IS
proving profitable one to the farn-
ers, who are now overworked in mar
keting their products
The tomato crop has been phenom-
email, though the late frosts threatened
20 eXtcrminate the tomato for this
year. But Jersey farmers are not
easily discouraged. and frost-tinged
plants were quickly superseded by
fresh settings and the crop that now
keeps the farm hands busy is the re-
suit Of this bit of enterprise.
Agents from New York and Philadel-
phia houses who thought they could
corner the South Jersey tomato crop
gave up the job in bewilderment.
While the prices have been tumbling
because of the large yield, better
figures were obtained on the early
products and that has made a good
season.
But the trouble under which the
Salem county farmers constantly work
in the summer season is the lack OF
Transportation facilities. Growers
within q radius OF ten miles Of Salem
ship by water, but the steamboat lire
cannot handle all the stuff, so great Is
the demand, while many complaints
are made OF the tardiness of the rail-
road company Fruit spoils in ship
ment many times IL sent by the rail-
road In hot weather and there would
be more prosperous times for the farm
ers and all other lines of business in
Salem county If there was greater
competition for the men whose lands
lie away from the river and bay, and
who have but one source of freight
shipment to depend upon.
All sorts Of craft aid In the delivery
Of products from Salem. Were ii not
for the steamboat line and the other
water facilities for marketing farm
goods, much OF the fruit and vegetable
output of the farm would rot. because
Of the inability to get it to maket
promptly.
What Is true of a large section OF
Salem county is true of the territory
lying south. There is a demand for
railroad competition. that lower rates
ana more regard for prompt delivery
be obtained for the farmers. The gaso-
line launches have come to the relief
of the farmers lying along the bay
but the inland farmers are dependent
on the railroad alone. This means
that the farmer often loses through
inability to market his fruit and vege-
tables. while 1t means that buyers in
Philadelphia pay more for their food,
the chief profit going into the treas
ury Of the railroad company and the
middleman.
