FLORIDA LEADS IN ALL
TOMATO SHIPMENTS

Washington, Sept. 4-Beginning
early in the year and continuing un-
til in the fall. tomatoes are shipped
commercially from over half of the
states of the Union. There is prob
ably no other perishable vegetable

January. The northern states, such
as New York and Ohio, finish out
the season in October, and by the
time the movement is over, approxi-
mately 10000 acres are moved for
