FAfNER An Advocate
Of LARGER MARKETS
w. T. Palmer Would Allow
Newcomers Spaces Free
for Awhile
CHARGE AFTER THEY
ARE ESTABLISHED

w I. Palmer. Of near Newark, who
has attended Wilmington street markets
Tor twenty-five years. favors a larger
market. with all the farmers possible IN
it. He would give spaces free until
The occupants are firmly established,
snd then charge a rental. Mr. Palmer,
N discussing market conditions says (.
There has been lots Of writing and
,alking recently about conditions and
prices in Wilmington markets. While
heading the conclusions Of a COM
nittee appointed to inves igate the con-
sitions I saw their proposal to better
conditions by having free and larger
market with less restrictions on the
farmers. This committee has acted very
wisely all through their investiga-
lions. More market room is, in my
pinlon, a wise plan. There should also
G less restrictions with regards 20 real
armers getting all their foodstuffs into
he markets.
But feel sure the free market would
e a mistake as no farmer stands on
he price now charged. 10 is worth
louble the amount to know where he IS
% sell his goods ! remember when the
market was free my father had 10 go ON
Tuesday to get his place for Wednesday,
nd on Friday TO get his place for Sat
irday. Now. # I understand 10 cor
.ectly. a free market would cause many
'armers to stop coming as there would
fe too many newcomers. All the farm
srs are Handicapped for help and so have
'nly a short time TO so TO market
Il would suggest having larger mar
ct and give the newcomers their spaces
rec until they set established and then
,harge them the same as the others I
im a farmer and have attended Will
nington markets for twenty-five years.
think I understand the conditions I'm
he county and city both and accord
ng 90 my judgment there cannot be
much done that win reduce prices until
fter the war and labor IS forced back
o the country again. There is no use
slking about one man doing two mems
york, yet that Is the situation of the
armer today
Il know some farmers in the market
ct unfairly, but as things arc today
10 farmer can get as large an amount
# produce to market as in past years,
or at a very low price.
1T is wise TO get all farmers possible
attend our markets as things are
n an alarming condition now and
till are not at their worst. AS con-
itions are growing worse In the coun-
ry naturally they viii be worse in the
ity.
My sympathy Is TO the consumer
nd the customers I have dealt with
II the time I have attended the VII.
ning on markets. I have tried "a
justice but have to share tn,
hargas Of being unjust, unreasonable
tlshonest and without conscience be
ause a few farmers have made fools o
themselves by boasting Of tneir oppor-
unity 90 get unreasonable prices"
