TRUCK FARMERS SEE
BREAK IN MARKET
Have Bountiful Crops, But
Unable to Compete
With West
MEET TODAY TO TRY
TO SOLVE PROBLEM

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-Eager
to discover a practical remedy for the
market conditions which find them
facing heavy losses in the midst of
bumper crops, farmers from Eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware will arrive here today and to-
morrow to confer with national and
State agricultural and economic eX-
perts at a two-Gay series of meetings
to be held on the city farms at By
berry. Hundreds of farmers have al
ready responded to the invitations
sent out by the Philadelphia Vegetable
Growers Association, under whose
auspices the conference is to be held.
Resolutions commencing the purposes
of the conference have been forwarded
by the oranges and others farmers
organizations of many counties. Be
sides the farmers themselves, repre-
sentatives will be present to voice the
interests of the bankers, the middle
men and the consumers.
Seldom before in the history of the
country have truck farmers been con-
fronted with such apparently sure
prospects of ruin through the COM
plete breakdown of their customary
marketing facilities. After raising
one of the most bountiful crops in
years the farmers find the local mar

prices paid for produce in the big cit
les all over the country are almost
as high as ever. the farmers are un-
able IN secure sufficient return for
their products to pay the cost of bring
ing them to the city.
Many interesting solutions have
been advanced with the idea of help
ing the farmer get fair price for his
crops and at the same time aid the
consumer to buy vegetables at mod
crate prices. These will be presented
before the conference by their spon-

 In the arguments the state reviewed the evidence and was emphatic in the Goolsby was a cold blooded and pre- meditsted murder. The defense on the other hand pleaded just as strongly that the killing was the result of an unavoidable accident and that the de- fendant should be acquitted or at the most be punished for manslaughter only.
