GET
BUTFEW POTATOES
Have Made Losing Fight
Against Eastern Shore Ex-
changes u Years.
PRICE BOOSTING" FALL RE

Special From 4 Star Correspondent.
| ONLEY, Va, July 1S.-Independent
buyers Of potatoes have moved on from,
the eastern shore counties Of Virginia
and are now operating to some extent
in Worcester and Somerset counties in
Maryland. where the season lasts about
ten days longer.
They have moved on because they have
| realized. after another seasons frantic
work. that the potatoes not controlled
by tho Virginia exchange form a neg
lisible quantity.
When the exhange was organized in
1909 buyers for leading wholesalers in
the important markets did not take it
very seriously. The business OF the
exchange the first year was not very
large. Buyers came to the important
shipping points. deposited money in local
banks and paid the moment potatoes
were delivered.
The fact that one could haul his pota-
toes to the station and come away with
the money for them was particularly
pleasing prospect to the farmer. Sea-
son after season he had shipped his
tubers on consignment to eastern cities.
Generally all the potatoes went about
one time. and any that got west of
Pittsburgh were shipped by the COM
mission houses. Needless to say that
very little money was realized from this
unsystematic selling.

Keeps in Touch With Market

Like the exchange in Virginia. the
Pocomoke establishment keeps in closer
touch with the market in all sections
of the United States than independenf
concerns. 1t has agents in all the big
distributing centers of the country and
gets daily. sometimes hourly. reportHI
of the conditions of those markets. Act
Ing on this information. the exchange
has the advantage of its competitive
buyers. The farmers OF Worcester and
Somerset have realized this long ago.
and they have greater faith in the local
concern.
| they can get advances from the POGO
moke exchange. or they can get their
seed and fertilizer directly from the
exchange. The advances made are de-
crops. This practice has helped many a
farmer, and it has also kept business
| in the hands of the exchange.
But the, advantages the Virginia
farmers have been enjoying gradually
are having their effect on the Mary
| land planters. Some of the Marylanders
are giving evidence of restiveness
Early in June delegation of forty
farmers from Worcester and Somerset
came to olney and urged the Virginia
exchange to extend its operations to
take them in. 1t was too late in the
season for the Virginia exchange to
! do anything.
Visions Of Biz Export Trade.
! Besides. the Virginia organization is
not yet convinced that 1t ought to ex-
tend its territory. Many of the stock
| holders OF the Virginia concern and other
members. as well as some Of the officials,
think 1t would be better to extend the
markets. thereby increasing the demand
and. naturally. the price. than to add
to the supply. Already the Virginia con-
| Germ Is looking beyond the bounds Of the
| United States. This year many carloads
| have been sent to Cuba and the exchange
now has visions Of big business in Gen.
| trail and South America
| While these two organizations are con-
| cerned chiefly about the extension OF their
| fields Of operations and the farmers are
concerned chiefly about what the ex-
changes are going to do, little attention
is being paid to Independent buyers. This
does not mean that they get only a few
barrels from the lower peninsula This
year they have been able to take about
100000 bushels Of Irish cobblers from
Accomac and Northampton counties
alone. It is likely they will get twice that
much from Worcester and Somerset.
But these 100000 bushels are only q
small part Of the whole output 81 the

Buyers Make Concerted Attack.

So when the exchange was organized
and comparatively q small proper
ton Of the farmers Joined 1t then
buyers from these houses that had been
getting Virginia potatoes on consign-
ment were sent to the fields. 1t waa
believed that the cash buying would
put the exchange out of business be-
fore it had fair start.
But the exchange managed to get
through the season and farmers who
had not Joined suddenly realized that
the organization at Onley had been
able to market the crop to greater ad-
vantage than the planter who sold to
the buyers. There was a rush to join
the organization.
The next year the buyers appeared
again in force with large deposits for
local banks and again paid cash, al
ways shaving the price little. hold
ing out as an inducement for the small
difference the immediate payment and
use of the money. They had the same
experiences as the season before with
the difference that the independents
that year had a smaller proportion OF
the whole crop than before. AS the
other fifteen years have passed the
proportion Of independent growers has
grown smaller and smaller.

turned marriage license to

Independent buyers. although keeping a
stin upper lip and talking big, are be-
coming discouraged and every year sees
fewer Of them in tho field. Officials of
the two exchanges and planters generally
believe that within a decade they will
disappear entirely from the eastern shore.

Strictly a Stock Organization.

The Pocomoke exchange differs from
the Virginia exchange in many ways.
In the first place, it is strictly a stock
organization. 1t Is in the business to
make all the money 1t can for itself.
It has no fixed dividend, as the vir-
ginia organization has. After all ex-
penses are met there usually is about
20 per cent rake-on for the stockhold-
ers. 1t sends buyers into the Virginia
territory, and like the men from the
north and west its buyers take every
barrel of potatoes or every package Of
any other produce they can get
In the two Maryland counties it gets
the large proportion of the crop. The
Pocomoke exchange has the advantage
Of being local concern. The planters
know everybody connected with it, and
prefer to deal with local people. all
other things being equal. Also, many
Of the planters are under obligation to
| the Pocomoke concern for their pres
ent prosperous condition. Some years
ago, when farmers In that section were
| having hard struggle and often were
unable to get the money needed for
planting, the Pocomoke exchange
helped them out. On the peninsula
gratitude plays an important part in
business. The farmers remember past
favors. and consequently favor the men
who have helped them.
