LITTLE PROSPECT OF
PROFIT To FARMERS
Despite Unusually Large Returns
of the Land, Prices Received
Are Distressingly Low.
Special Correspondence of Every Evening

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Laurel, August 18.
Farmers in this section are facing very
poor prospect for a profitable season.
Strawberries and biackberries sold well
and the comparatively few farmers who
raised them extensively had good returns
Apples did not sell well, being found in
the market at 40 TO 90 cents per 5-8
bushel basket. Peaches are selling at
81 90 to sI.25 per half bushel basket, but
very few are grown at present IN this
section. The heaviest loss yet has been
on the cucumber crop, which IS n ow over.
With the exception of the first few ship
ments, which sold around The s2 mark,
the crop was marketed at distinct loss
to the grower.
Cantaloupes are arriving in large
quantities, but with the crop less than half
over, many fields not yet being ripe enough
TO ship, the price has steadily declined from
about 81 20 so cents per carrier yesterday.
With high prices of carriers. fertilizer and
labor, the indications seem to be that
many farmers will lose heavily on 'lopes.
BY far the greatest disappointment this
year, however is In the prospect for
proftahly marketing a large crop of
tomatoes. The acreage IN this crop -
probably the largest ever grown in this
community, due TO the extremely high
prices at which they have been sold for
the past few years. II was thought a few
weeks ago there would not be more than
half a crop but, due TO the frequent rain
and the warm weather Of the past month,
tomatoes have made remarkable growth
and heavy yield of fine quality is now
coming on, with no good market A few
offers have been made to some Of the
growers Of Is cents per SIS tomato basket
but farmers say they cannot even pick
them for that price, and will be com
