Mr.. Tom w. Jernigan, than whom we
have no better citizens, bought the MUIR
ply farm near Shady Grove, sold here
at public sale last week by the trustee,
U. 0. Parrish. The farm sold cheap
enough, but it was about to 60 for
song and Mr.. Jernigan stepped in and
helped Mr.. Parrish realize something in
the bounds of reason for it. Mr.. Jerni-
gan was offered profit on the deal soon
after his purchase but declined for the

CROP PRICES POOR ANNE
ARUNDEL FARMERS DISTRESSED
The Markets Glutted With Produce
and Fruits Too Low.

That there will be untold financial
distress among farmers OF Anne Arun-
del county during the coming winter
because of poor prices received for
fruit and vegetables crops is the pre-
diction of the largest truck farmers in
this county
There are three reasons for the low
prices. First, the war; second, over
production. and third, disease of the
trees and plants. Anne Arundel, how
ever. is not the only county that will
suffer for these reasons. and counties
on both the Eastern and Western
Shores will be hard hit
The markets of the cities have been
fairly glutted with produce and fruits
For this reason the commission mer-
chants are offering prices so low that
farmers and truckers have left their
crops in the ground rather than run
the risk of losing money by carrying
them to the markets.
The pea. bean and cabbage crops OF
this year were the largest of recent
years. Becaues of the fact the mar
kets were glutted and the commission
merchants consequently offered ex-
ceptionally low prices. Peas that cost
go cents a bushel to pick sold for but
SO l-2 cents Beans costing 20 cents
to pick sold for but few cents more
IN the markets
In many cases the farmers let the
crops go to ruin rather than sell at
such low prices. The cabbage crop
was fine one, but the market was so
full that the farmers let them decay
The tomato crop h also exceptionally
large Farmers are receiving but ten
cents a basket for the best quality to-
matos. These tomatoes hucksters are
selling on the streets for 80 cents
basket.
Persons living within short dis
lance 'of the truck farms are compell-
ed TO pay such prices because the far
mers refuse TO sell direct TO the con
sumer. The pear and apple crops
will be very poor because OF the blight
that has spread throughout the State
The majority of the trees in Anne
Arundel county are affected. The
leaves turn black and dry up, while
the fruit remains small.
