The tomato shipping from New Jersey

one Of the best the growers have had in

canal before the season is over. Most OF
the farmers in New Jersey are ship

the canneries, instead Of Grating them,
as the market is very dull.
As compared with the same time last
year, farmers in the vicinity Of Swedes-
boro have lost $4,000 in shipments. A
year ago nearly 10000 crates we're ship

OF July % the price was 25 cents. This
is the lowest price that Swedesboro to-
majors have brought in many years and
is at point where the farmers cannot
afford to crate.

wharf, saving the cost Of the crate. at
least, and shipping to Baltimore. For
the same week last year l37 ,l3s crates
had been shipped for which the growers
received Sll0000 This week. with
l09,l24 crates shipped, the farmers re-
eeiyed $4,000
A number of records have been broken
this season in the tomato shipping. Dur
ing the first week Of the season this
year over 60 boats loaded with about
100000 baskets of tomatoes. passed

four days earlier than usual. Last week,
