PRODUCE THIS YEAR
Continued from Page u

(COuIluuSQ ITOm rage ID
this reason the figures compiled are
said to cover at least so per cent of
this traffic. This may be used as an
accurate foundation to estimate a
total for the entire Peninsula.
During the months of May, June,
July, August and September, 1890
trucks were weighed at the Della
ware stations. This was an average
of 3,46O per month, or allowing &c
days each month as shipping days,
an average of 1873 per day. The
heaviest truck movement was during
the month of August which totaled
5,343. More than half of this num-
ber carried cantaloupes. May was
next with 4,709 trucks recorded and
of that number 3,571 carried straw
berries. June followed with 1882
strawberries, beans, cabbage, mixed
loads and seafoods making up the
greater part of the commodities. July
was fourth with 2,452, cucumbers
totaling 715 truck loads, cantaloupes
made their appearance with 356 and
tomatoes with 202. September was
the lowest with LIP, potatoes total
ing 400; watermelons 276;; and
mixed loads 242.
The quantity of the commodities
ranged in the following order;
strawberries 4,193 truck loads with
3,571 shipped in May and 610 in
June. Cantaloupes followed with
3,O6O truck loads and of this number
1852 moved in August. The mixed
loads, totaling 1921 and composed
of practically all of the commodities
including poultry products and sea-
foods combined with vegetables and
fruits, were we'll distributed. On
seafoods alone 1929 truck loads were
shipped. Beans, 1907 truck loads
with practically half of this number
being shipped in June and the next
largest period being August. Po-
tatoes moved throughout the five
months but did not reach any sub
stantial figure until September when
400 truck loads were checked, COM
pleting a total of 7S0 for the five
months period. There were 733 truck
loads of cucumbers with us shipped
in July and 571 truck loads Of
peaches with 541 shipped in August
Tomatoes totaled AL moving during
July and August. The poultry ship
ments reached S66 truck loads being
heaviest during May and June, while
there were 1853 truck loads of cab
bage with $40 shipped during the
month of June.
Various other fruits and vege-
tables completed the list of SO COM
modities leaving the Peninsula.
In the compilation of destinations
Philadelphia led by a material mar
gin. The total for that city was
1881 while the New York City mar
kets received 5,6SS. Next in line
Newark, N. j., was the destination
for 1,O63. Baltimore followed with
469 and Chester, Pa, with ZIG. At
Iantic City received 1873 and Wash
ington 125. The remaining destina-
tions each received from one to 81
truck loads.
In all, there were 11S destinations
off the Peninsula supplied by truck
with Del-Mar-Va commodities. They
extended from Washington and Bal
timore to Montreal, Canada, through
out various points in New England
and northern New York and Penn
sylvania. A majority were in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York
States.

RI the Associated Press.
Congressional farm leaders are await
ing an expression from President Hoo
yer before tackling the unsolVed agri-
cultural problem of the Coolidge ad-
ministration.

Capitol to hear what Mr.. Hoover has
IN offer and to let him lead the, way In
the formulation of a new program IL >m
the ashes of the dead McNary-A augen
eoualization-fee legislation.
The leaders do not intend to be die
tated to. but they are making IL clear
that they are willing TO cooperate with
the new party chieftain on TINS ooml-
nant issue and TO have him snare Wlth
themselves the responsibility for Its SET
Element.
Awaiting a signal from the new occu-
pant /of the White House. those IN
charge of farm relief legislation at the
Capitol are almost marking ame pre-
paratory to the assembling OF the ag-
ricultmal committee of the House ana
Senate late this month in advance OF
the converting of the special session.
1t is confidently believed that the
measure introduced last December by
Senator McNary. Republican. OF oregon,
fine chairman of the Senate agricul-
tural committee. will be the basis for
the Hoover legislative remedy. McNary
is the co-author of the twice-vetoed
McNary- Haugen bill. The new bill
provides for the establishment OF sta
Utilization corporations, working under
a Federal farm board. as the agencies
for collection. storage and ultimate dis
tribution of surplus crops. Through the
