free-for-all fight which ensued, but no

Produce Flown To
Market Center By
Holland Farmers

WASHINGTON, April 29.-CP-
Air transportation of garden pro-
duce in the Netherlands has be-
come SO popular that 1,550,000
pounds of flowers, vegetables and
fruits were flown to market last
year.
Ever-increasing competition in
the horticultural and agricultural
field makes it necessary for Hol-
lands farmers to seek new outlets
for their products, according to re-
ports received by the department Of
commerce from the American vice
consul at Rotterdam.
Air service has made possible
transportation of perishable goods
to markets that were inaccessible
before the regular commercial air
lines were established.
Strawberries picked in the West
land district in the morning can
be bought in London markets in
the afternoon for consumption at
dinner. Since prices are influenced
greatly by the condition in which
the produce arrives at its market,
air transportation of fruit and
vegetables is expected to expand in
