uring that there will be trailers COM
ing in from the shipping sections af-
ter the market hours are over and
that they will be able to buy the ber-
ries then at their own price. In most
instances they get away with this, be-
cause when the early out-of-town and
regular trade is finished buying and
has left the market the receiver has
no other recourse but to sell to these
buyers who are looking for bargains.
This happens quite frequently. How
ever, such a condition would not exist
if the berries were shipped by train,
with fixed selling time on the dock
and street. Both the grower and
shipper would realize better prices"
"There is still time, this receiver
said, for growers and shippers in
Maryland and Delaware to salvage
what is left of their strawberry crops
by diverting some of their shipments
to the railroads. In this way they
should be able to obtain enough for
their stock to pay the cost of pro-
duction and net them a little profit
too. Right now berries are selling
at shipping points at as low as &c
quart, which price does not give
the grower any margin of profit"
