Trouble With Their Late
Planting.


nearby growers. The ground already
was moist enough for growing pur-
poses and in some sections, 1t was
stated, growers were experiencing
difficulty with late planting on ac-
count Of the moisture.
Inclement weather had its effect
upon late morning buyers, according
to dealers. although early morning
selling was about normal. Recent
cooler weather was a means OF boost
ing business, it is stated, and further
increases are expected with a 1urtner
drop in temperature.
Dealers had ample supplies OF all
foodstuffs to meet demands. Some
species Of fruits and vegetables are
gradually getting scarce, but new
varieties will take their places,
enabling consumers to obtain fresh
fruits and vegetables during most OF
the Winter season.
