According to these reports.

which is due to begin at the town
Of Dayton one week from today.
1t consists, it was reported, in
appealing to the Federal Court of
Knoxville for an injunction to pre-
vent the State of Tennessee from

the law is unconstitutional.
Neither cambridge Colby, Ciar-

TOMATO HARVEST HEAVIEST IN YEARS
BUT PRICES ARE NOT ENCOURAGING
Those Who Contracted With Cannees Or Sold On Cooperative
Basis Are WinnersGrape Season About Over.Lae Apples
Being Shipped Abroad To Get Early European Fancy

at banks in case he wants a loan
rather than if he free-lanced thu
business and operated independent
ly.
The most serious problem in ru
raj Delaware where the tomatoes
are being harvested is that of labor
Usually at this time there is plenty
of female labor which is necessit!
at tomato plants. But this year, be-
cause every crop is weeks earlier
than common, the tomato packing
plant must bargain for its labor il
competition with grape cutters, anC
apple pickers.
By the middle of this week, it is
predicted that the tomato season
will have witnessed its peak and
that the season will continue about
two weeks more.
Grape Harvest Over
Last week practically witnessed
the close of the grape crop. All week
those having vineyards which had
not been cut worked industriOusly to
get the fruit cut and marketed. The
sales price however was not en-
cOuraging. The average was 55 and
so cents a fifteen pound basket. Why
ThC price should Fol have beCn high
er is a question The crop economists
will endeavor to settle the coming
winter, either about the stoves of
corner grocery So es or in city
marker places.
The grape crop in Michigan and
New York is much smaller than last
year and there is also Il falling off
in the Delaware crop, and yet prices
remain low. Usually there would be
a demand during short crop seasons
that would boost the. prices but that
hasn't been the case this year.
One expert who is watching and
studying the marker this summer
expresses the argument that it is be-
cause grapes came a couple of weeks
early and because the weather re-
much warmer than might be
expected that has caused the apathy
in demand for grapes.
People who maize wine do not, as
a rule, begin their operations until
it begins to get COOL" he said. "The
fact that grapes are here does not
them. If it would get cool 1
believe there would be n much
stronger demand for grapes"
Many Apples Go Abroad

S completed some time next month,

ware apples abroad of any year.
scores of carloads of late apples
ave already gone overseas to Eng |
and and Scotland, where the Della |
yare fruit is now competing with
he foreign crop. Prices over there
ange from four to ten dollars a
arrel and it is the belief of many !
Delaware growers that by getting
heir early "late" apples off abroad
efore the European crops come in
ill enable them to make a little
killing"
Apples that ordinarily are picked

Throughout the greater part OF
rural Delaware the farmers are in
the midst of the heaviest tomato pro-
duction season the state has ever ex-
perienced. Last year there were
more than a million baskets of to-
matoes shipped out of the state by
boat alone. This did not count the
hundreds of thousands of baskets
hauled to the scores of tomato can
neries in the state nor those hauled
out of the state by motor truck.
This year, according to a state
ment made by one of the largest to-
mato canneries, run on the co-Opera-
tive plan in Kent county, the crop
of tomatoes will be so per cent
heavier than last year. Some other
packers consider this statement as a
bit extravagant and believe that the
crop will be heavier than last sea-
son but do not think it will reach
half as much more.
This year is another contract sea-
son for tomatoes. By that 1t is meant
that those who contracted with can
neries earlier in the year for their
output are realizing the best prices.
Last year the Independent tomato
raiser or the man who refused to
make any contracts for tomatoes
with canneries had a big year. To-
matoes last summer at some periods |
sold as high as fifty to seventy-tive
cents a basket. And the greater ma
jority of the farmers contracted at
those prices. Now, these farmers are
getting the price agreed upon. Those
who didn't make contracts will be
lucky in some instances to break
even The price offered last week in
some sections was twelve and half
cents a basket. This condition due
to what amounted in fact to a glut
on the market was reflected in Will
mingtOn when tomatoes were pedd-
led about from door to door and Of
fered at 35 cents a basket.
Yield Is Better
According to advices coming to
the Bureau of Markets at Dover,
some acreages are showing better
yields than in most years, while
others have their hard luck stories.
According to one of the biggest pac-
kers, tomatoes as a whole this year
that is those contracted for by
bring an average of s
five cents a basket more than last
year.
Hundreds of Delaware farmers are
their common sense and in i
telligence by being a part of coop i
erative cannery projects. Under this S
plan the farmer and Gamer agree a
On an operating cost and the farmer S
receives what his product will bring h
n the general market. There is l;
system whereby the tomatoes are "
sold promptly and there can be no Il
question about anything but straight r
rom the shoulder business methods. b
1t is claimed by those who have [
ried this plan that while the farm Il
n never gets a fancy price for his b
OmatOes such as occurs once in W
ew years, that he always does get 81
profit for his labor even though it
'e modest one Many would rather II
ccept a small profit each year than rC
fancy figure one year and a big e;
Oss the next. The conservative far 81
ner knows that with such financial rC
acking as he can show by being eC
member of a cooperative plan he HI
