CROP
Tomato Production on
West Coast Will Be
Below Normal

The Lower Rio Grande Valley to-
mato crop viii not meet such compe-
tition as was experienced last year,
according To reports from other early
tomato growing sections. The Mex
lean tomato deal will be nearly COM
pleted by the time Valley tomatoes
reach the peak. and the Florida crop
will be reduced so per cent by the
recent unfavorable weather condi-
tions. The California crop II also
reported below normal.
Reports from the principal tomato
sections Of Florida state that a very
decided change has taken place in
the condition Of the tomato crop as
q result Of the continued high winds
the latter part Of April. The plants
were young when the un~favorable
weather started. and were not able
10 recuperate after the severe gales,
which succeeded each other with all
most daily regularity. Much Of the
fruit has been shed. and while the
plants may put on later. the crop
for the early movement will be con-
siderably under normal.
Valley tomato grower report the
crop about normal. several reporting
the best crop on record. The move
ment by carloads got under way last
week. and the peak will be reached
between May Is and juno Il. The
acreage is larger than lest year, and
approximately 1000 cars will be
moved. Over 900 straight Ears were
shipped last season.
Market reports the past week have
not beer optimistic. but improved
weather conditions in the North are
expected 20 create a heavier de-
mand for tomatoes as well as All 9TH
