Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Chestertown, Md, Aug pa number
of tomato growers in the vicinity of
Buck Neck wharf, who contracted with
a Havre de Grace firm to grow tomatoes
during the present season, are very much
concerned over the failure of the firm to
finish its plant in that city in time for
the big drive on tomatoes which is now on.
The firm contracted for $50 acres in
the vicinity of Buck Neck, and on Satur-
day there were 5000 baskets of the fruit
on the wharf awaiting the word OF the
firm to ship A number OF the growers
went to Havre dc Grace, on Friday,
to confer with MIR Stockham, the head
of the firm in reference to the supply of
baskets, as well as to secure information
with regard to future shipments. The
heavy shipping time is on, and the growers
are unable to secure baskets from the
contractor and the contractor is unable
to take the tomatoes because the cannery
is not finished 1t is probable that the
growers will seek the open market in the
sale of their crop, but they have no as
urance that they will secure the contract
price 30 cents per basket at this time.
