AC the annual SC0ckh0l0erS meeClng
of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Pro-
duce Exchange the following old Off
cial board were reelected:
Benjamin T. Gunter, president; Ed
ward Holland, vice-president; w. A.
Burton, general manager; A. ]. NC
Math, secretary-treasurer; c. R.
Waters, sales manager; c. M. 'Dunton,
assistant sales manager. Carroll Kel-
lam, who has been employed in the
bookkeeping department, was promot-
ed to the sales department and made
assistant to the sales manager.
The report of the auditor showed
that the total sales for 1923 were
$11,eSs, s,So1.23, or $2,,4Ss,s75.97 more
than in 1922. While the sales were
larger the number Of packages hauled
was less, and the profit for the year
was less than in 1922, being SAT, ,969.-
80. Of this amount 65 per cent or
$31,912.s1 was the patronage dividend
and the balance was added to the sur
plus fund. The capital is now $780,
100. Surplus $276,304.37. The total
assets are $374,475.52.
Last week Mr.. Gunter, and Mr..
Burton, were in conference with Sec
retary Hoover, in Washington, D. c.,
to discuss the transportation problem
as it related to the marketing of per-
ishable vegetables and fruits. At the
conference were three other gentle
men, besides Messrs. Gunter and Bur
ton intimately connected with the
marketing of perishable fruits and
produce, one being from Florida, one
from New York state and the third
man being fro = California. The req
sentatives of the Exchange expressed
themselves as being satisfied with the
plans as outlined by Mr.. Hoover.
Mr.. Burton, in a letter addressed tc
the editor of the Peninsula Enterprise
holds out a caution to potato growers
as to over-production, and has the
following to say with regard to it.
"The man who contemplates plant
ing ten acres, or thereabouts, of 20
tatoes should leave off / acre; the one
who contemplates planting twenty
acres, or thereabouts, should leave of
two acres, and so on in like proper
tion up to the very largest planter a.
/. mong us. ! am confident if this plan
could be adopted price levels could
then be maintained throughout oui
entire shipping season that would
more than compensate for any less
ening of tonnage"
Mr.. Burton had also some very in.
teresting subject matter in connection
with transportation conditions. He
states that the National Government
would probably assist in the market
ing of agricultural products, ant
emphasized two very Objectionable
features as follows:
l. That owing to lack Of standards
izstion there is too much wastage il
agricultural products as marketed to
day.
2. That owing to existing condi
tions the marketing process was nee
essarily slow one, and as a conse
quence the carriers were being over
taxed at terminals. Both these MI
Burton thinks could be so remedied b,
the assistance of the National Boar
of Trade.
