Farmers To See
Demonstrations
May Learn New Grading
Methods as Train Visits
This Section
FIRST MARKETING TRAIN

Atlantic County farmers will have
an opportunity to learn new grad
ing methods when demonstration
marketing train of farm products
will run through this section of the
county the latter part of this, or
the early part of next month, ac-
cording to advice received from the
State Department of Agriculture.
The train will start from Mullica
Hill July Is, and will give demon
strations, running over the Reading
and Central Railroad in this, Cape
May. Cumberland, Gloucester and
Monmouth counties. One day stops
will be made in towns in the heart
of the States great vegetable and
fruit producing sections.
This. the first marketing train
ever to be run. will aid, State De-
partment officials believe, in carry
ing out the plans for standardizing
New jerseys marketing methods.
By paying close attention to grad
ing. packing and containers, State
farmers can do much to hold east
ern markets in the face of strenu-
Gus competition from sections
where some of these lessons have
been learned.
The exhibits and demonstrations
aboard the marketing train will be
of the products in which the var
ious sections of the State special
ize. They will include peaches, ap-
pies, potatoes. both white and
sweet. tomatoes, cucumbers, canta-
loupes and peppers. Because of
the Importance OF poultry industry
in those sections, space will be de-
voted to egg grades and standards.
1t is expected that many growers
and shippers will visit the train
during the day, when representa-
tives of the Department of Agri-
culture will demonstrate and dis.
cuss grading methods. Each even
ing there will be informal talks on
the train by growers and agricul-
tural leaders of the State.
