1ment as to prices for tomatoes this year
from the Gamers who have made a COM
bine. AT the Tri-State Packers Associa-
ton in Wilmington last week reports
were received from every canner in New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland and the
stock on hand was considerably less than
last year. while the acreage planted thi
year was reported to be less. Conss
