!. M. Meekins
Sells Spuds Over
The Market Price
Quality and "Pack" Bring
Willing Purchasers
for His Crop

Federal Judge l. M. Meeklns,
we'll known here socially and pro
fessionally, has the ability of SELL
ing his potatoes at so cents more
per barrel than the market price
at Elizabeth City, says an item
of more than passing interest and
value, in The Elizabeth City In
dependent. Why he can dispose
of a normal crop of 10000 bar
rels a year is told in the item
quoted here:)
How come Farmer Ike Meek
ms. better known as Federal
Judge Isaac M. Meekins, to get
SO cents a barrel more for his
Irish potatoes than other grow
ers got?
Last week when local commission
men were paying the growers
$3.50 a barrel for their potatoes,
Judge Meekins was selling his
potatoes f. o. b. Elizabeth City
: at $3.50. When local commits
sion men upped the price to
1925, Judge Meekins sold his
potatoes at 1915. Judge Meek
ms is one of the largest growers
in Pasquotank and Camden
counties. Under normal condi-
tions he would have produced
10000 barrels of potatoes this
year. Drought conditions this
year reduced his crop to a yield
of 5000 to 10000 barrels.
81 grade my potatoes closely
and add an extra peck to every
barrel" said Judge Meekins when
asked how he managed to get soc
a barrel more than his neighbors.
81 believe that extra peck l put
in every barrel of my potatoes
brings the biggest money; it makes
a full package which appeals to
the buyer"
But that isn't all there is to it.
Judge Meekins is a big grower;
he puts up a better package than
most local growers and is in posi-
ton to deal direct with big buy
ers. Local commission men have
the market generally sewed up
and will not sell potatoes to buy
ers who go direct to the growers;
the result of which is that the
buyers stay away from the grow
ers and deal with the commission
men. The fact that the commits
sion men refused to sell potatoes
to the buyers who dealt direct
with Judge Meekins didn't cut
any ice; the Judge had all the po-
tatoes his buyers wanted and they
could snap their fingers in the
faces of the commission men. An
organization of potato growers in
this county could do exactly what
Judge Meekins did, besides saving
enormous sums on the purchase
of seed potatoes and fertilizers.
