20 CENT OFFER
FOR TOMATOES
That's All Jersey Gamers
viii Pay For Early
Yield
EXPECT LATE
CROP TO BE BIG

sWEDEsBORO. n. j., July 2s.-
There was a considerable stir among
tomato growers yesterday. when
several agents offered to take the re-
mainder OF the early crop for the
canneries. These buyers watch the
markets closely. and when It was
found that on Saturday only from
40 to 60 cents a basket was paid.
and that for good stock, It was be-
lieved time TO move.
The buyers sent out a call for
boats and there were nearly a dozen
at the wharves when the market
opened. The buyers want to pay only
90 cents. however, and only a few
growers were willing to sell, because,
through the grading system estab-
lished this season, tomatoes have
been bringing better prices The
can-house buyers were offered what
Is termed "slop" by some. but they
did not want that. In the grading sys-
tenn there are quantities Of tomatoes
that are given back to the farmer
as unstable, and he is compelled.
'tNA'A an a~A'fAiANNf To Nhhf lNtefs
But there is a big rush just now,
because tomatoes are ripening rap
idly, and these buyers believe they
will be able 10 get the balance Of
the crop at their own figures. One
grower said that at 90 cents a bas-
ket II did not pay him to pick to-
matoes, haul them here and then
wait hours for a chance TO unload.
At the same time the crop would 20
to waste unless sold.
In the face Of what looks like an
enormous yield OF the late crop. or
canhouse variety, many growers feel
that now IS the time to sell at fair
figure, as there is a belief that the
late crop will he so big that the
price may be even lower than at
the present figure.
Walter stanton, one of the big
buyers for canneries says that he ex-
poets 20 operate twenty boats from
this place this season. The Folger
Bros. at Bridgeport. will have plenty
Of boats there for the Baltimore fac
tories. az well as at the wharves
in Bridgeton. There will be buyers
and boats at the wharf at Mount
Royal far canning stock. and unless
there is combination among buy
ers not TO pay more than a certain
price there Will be some lively bid
ding at times.
Growers all over this section have
made money on the early crop. and
some Will continue to send away only
the best. and what money yet comes
from the crop is like finding it,"
This is the first season that the grad
ing system was ever used here. II
cost the supply Co. about $4,000 10
install the plant, but all the stock
holders declare that il was a good
expenditure. In seasons to come it is
believed that the grading will be ex-
tended TO other sections. as the ex-
pertinent here has uproved so satis-
