Injured Crops At A Time

Maryland
ATTITUDE OF GROWERS.
GAMERS STILL HOPE

II the straw indicates in which de
rection the wind is blowing. the cru
cial point has been reached in the
seasons production and consumption
of tomatoes, and the grower and con-
sumer both face a tomato crisis
Prof. T. B. Symons, Director of the
Extension Service of the University
OF Maryland. has sent out the follow
ing 10 the County Agent for Anne
Arundel, George W. Norris:
"Discouraging reports come from
our tomato-growing regions regarding
the marketing of this important crop.
Prior TO the last two weeks, during
which we have experienced an unusu-
ally wet spell which is likely to great
ly injure the crop, the prospects for
good yield of tomatoes were never
better.s The early tomato crop has
been especially good in quality and
yield. In fact, the unusual supply of
early tomatoes has caused a glut in
the market and precipitated a panic in
the ranks of hte growers and Gamers
regarding the disposal of the regular
and more important canning house
crop. So much so that some Gamers,
believing that tomatoes will be so
plentiful for canning. are repudiating
their contracts with the growers or
are offering considerable to growers
to be relieved of their contracts,
thereby adding fuel to the despair of
the grower that tomatoes may be
bought in the open market this year
at much less than cost of production,
and much below any contract price
agreed upon in early spring.

Cost OF Production More

"The cost of production this year is
undoubtedly as muc or more than
at any time during this abnormal per-
iod due to increased costs of fertili-
zers, labor, baskets and other factors
entering into production
cit is quite natural therefore. that
growers feel that they should receive
as much for their tomatoes this season
as heretofore, and from any ordinary
standpoint they should do so: but
facts are facts, and supply and de-
mand will over govern the exchange
of commodities.
IF the Gamers were party to de-
pressing the market and were c,m-
binod for the purpose of securing the
raw stock at reduced price, then
there would be some Justification for
the drastic action proposed by the
growers in allowing the crop to rot
rather than TO be denied by the can
ners just price for their product. In
the absence of any evidence .or such
deduction and in view OF conditions as
outlined above, then it seems that the
part of wisdom would persuade both
the Gamers and growers to get to-
gether and arrive at a price that will
justify the Gamer to can the tomatoes
in the face OF hopeless market in
order to prevent total loss of the
crop.
Sensible For Grower To Take Less
Certainly it would appear sensible
for the grower to take less than he
has HERETOFORE been receiving and get
cost or at least suffer a small loss
than to consider the total loss of the
cost production of the crop.
Moreover, we must look further
than the present We cannot afford to
lose this industry for the State. 1t is
easy to conjecture what will happen
If the growers sustain a total loss of
the crop this year. Few will ever
grow tomatoes again. The canneries
will be moved to other sections of the
country. Now this is time and con-
dition that should bring the Gamers
and growers closer together than ever
before, as it is self evident that one /:

have made large advances. The
money market is tight, transportation
accommodation is bad. and all factors
entering into canning tomatoes are
discouraging. Moreover. it is reported
that not more than % per cent of the
usual amount of futures have been
sold by Gamers
while the tomato pack for 1919
season was unusually small. yet these
other influences and the large hold
over seem TO have continued to de-
press the market
The growers have planted about
the same acreage this year as last
year, which is about half of the aver
age of 1918.
There was indicated prior to the
recent wet spell an unusually yield OF
tomatoes this season.
due to reluctance of Gamers TO Of
fer reasonable price for contract to-
matoes early in the season and the
general experience that selling on the
open market during the past three or
four years has been profitable to the
growers a smaller per cent of the crop
is contracted for this year than here
tofore And as stated those Gamers
who made contracts are now anxious
to repudiate them on account of the
general market and the indicated sup
ply of tomatoes this season.
