EARLY PRODUCE
MOVES SLOWLY
Rains Hold Up Vegetable
Shipments; Production
Over Country Heavy
Especial to The Herald)

SAN BENITO, Nov. although
valley vegetables are earlier than in
most years. no considerable owe
ment is expected 10 take place for
some time due TO the d-isorganized
market and the fact that many
northern communities are still be-
ing supplied with home products,
according 10 Davis Wade Of the
produce firm OF Wade and Newton
which has packing sheds at virtual
ly all the important Valley shipping
points.
Mr. Wade said that not only are
the Valley vegetables SO early that
they are entering competition with
late crops elsewhere, but that there
has not been enough cold weather
in the North as yet 10 damage home
grown crops. Real winter weather Is
expected to kill those crops and
stimulate the market for Valley
products. Most OF those cars which
have moved out OF the Valley were
in the nature of an experiment 10
feel out the market.
Acreage Larger
Although original acreages are
much larger than those OF last
year for most crops. rains have
damaged all vegetables consider
ably. MIR Wade says. Rains damaged
beans about 81 per cent. he esti-
mates. cabbage 80 per cent, fall
potatoes so per cent and tomatoes
! almost 100 per cent. He says hat
this probably Will be a blessing in
disguise since there is an overpro-
duction OF vegetables everywhere.
Early paintings OF beans suffered
the most and later paintings may
improve in yield and quality. Car
rots were held back in size by rains
and other crops suffered similarly.
A tendency 10 get away from
cotton as the principal crop on
farms in the south contributed to
overproduction OF vegetables. in the
opinion OF Mr.. Wade. Those farm
ers who cut down their production
OF cotton naturally turned to vege-
tables for a source Of income. he
stated.
In regard to citrus fruits. Mr..
Wade declared that growers should
hold back and insist that the lar
ger azic better fruit be harvested
in oSder that a fair return might
be expected. If they continue TO
clean their orchard. picking all
sizes. they will push down the prices
OF the larger sizes, he said.
To complicate the situation. Flor
ida has twice as much grapefruit as
last year and so per cent as many
oranges, while California is coming
along with a % per cent increase
N oranges.
Low price Of other fruits are
given as another reason why the
citrus fruit returns are not the very
\ highest this year.
