Produce and Prices

While there has been no great guam
tity OF produce sent to Wilmington
market the past week prices on some
farm produce has dropped a little. In
the Jersey Market, on Walnut Street,
wholesale prices were as follows:
Sweet potatoes. 9Oc-s1 a basket;
white potatoes, $1-$1.25; cabbage, 75c-
soc; eggplant. 5Oc-$1; tomatoes, ST.
$3.50; peppers, 1890.
There have been very few water
melons this year. Because of the wet
weather those grown had a Door flavor.
The late omato crop is nearly all
gathered. 1t is the smallest ever grown
in this region in proportion to the num-
Der of plants set out. Never have the
farmers been so unfortunate as this
veal. Some will not meet expenses.
notwithstanding high prices.
Jere English quit buying tomatoes
for Justice & Co.. at Lower Canal
Bridge on September 18th, for shipment
to Baltimore This years
shipment was only $1,000 baskets. The
prices for early tomatoes put in cans
was from 25 to IS cents a basket; for
late tomatoes from 2S cents to Slip a
basket.
As high as $IG0 a basket was paid

More wheat was grown this year
than for several years, but the con-
tinued rainy season has spoiled most of
the crop which could not be put in
barns or stacks nor threshed because
Of labor shortage. The labor gentry
now want to work eight hours a day,
cash at closing time, and only two or
three DAYS a week, as they can earn
enough in two or three days to live
the remainder of the week with no am
bitiou to save. live better and become a
capitalist by having money invested to
earn something.
Much fruit was damaged by the rains.
especially peaches. which promised a
bumper crop. Much fruit also went to
waste because farmers could not get
help to gather and market it. Farmers
on large arms have to get the women
folks to help with the stock and in the
fields.
Help on the farms is worse this year
than during the war. During the war
thousands worked and saved because
they believed it their patriotic duty.
Now they are released and thousands
are living and blowing in what they
saved.
Every fellow wants big prices for his
labor and he sells but want to
pay the old prices for what he buys.
New Jersey crop statistics tell us that
potatoes this year are only 6S per cent
up to scratch, apples Sc, peaches 6S and
omatoe 40.
Campbell Soup Company, of Camden,
has had a boat and buyer at Biddles
landing paying from so cents to 81 a
basket for tomatoes. Thai Company
has not been a buyer of Salem county
tomatoes for years and has been of lit
tie benefit to farmers in this region
because they nave been the meanest
people to deal with of all packers of
tomatoes. As a ~onsequenc most to-
matoes grown nave been sent to Balti-
more.
