THE MARKET NEWS
SERVICE BEGINS
Field Men are Collecting and Distrib
uting information Regarding
ShiDmentS

Field men Of the Office OF Markets
and Rural Organization have lei
washington to inauguratc the Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture's Market News
Service for pcriShablc crops tn.
year. Branch Offices have been eS
tablishcd in New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chica
go, st. Louis, Minneapolis and Kan
Sas City, to collect and distribute in
formation in regard to marketing con
dltlOnS. Other men are stationed in
the producing sections in Florida Lou
lSlana and Texas, where onions, tOma.
toes and strawberries are already be-
ing shipped in carload lots to the big
markets.
BY collecting in this way informal
ton concerning conditions in produc-
ing districts and marketing ccnters,
the Market News Service Of the de-
partmcnt of agriculture is designed to
aid both shippers of and dealers in
pcrlshablc crops. The information
collected is sent out free by tclcgra Dh
10 all those who are sufficiently inter
eStcd TO pay the telegraph charges
and by mail to those who do not care
10 incur this expense, but have a good
40
of the field men in the marketing and
producing centcrS acts as a diStribu-
tor OF this information and, in add..
ton, it is sent out direct from Wash
ingtOn.
The first reports for this season
were sent out on Monday, March 81.
THESE Will deal with carload ship
ments, receipts and general condi-
lions for the onion, tomato, and straw.
berry crops. Other crops will follow
as the season advances, the service
being designed to include a total OF
l6 altogether. In the opinion Of mar.
ketlng specialists this work, which
was begun last year, has already dem
onstrated its value in preventing the
quitting of markets, in securing more
profitable distribution for perishable
crops, and in avoiding delay and waste
through unnecessary diversions of
carload shipments en- route.
