Produce Market Notes

western New York and the Upper
Lakes region.
The onion markets continued dull
with little change in price, partly
because of mild weather most of the
time. The holiday demand seemed
to give much life to the position.
Cabbage continues in moderate
supply and sells slowly at slightly
lower prices compared with quota
tiOns early in the month.
Topped carrots from Long Island,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania show
little change in price at 35 to Csc
per so pounds. Celery supplies in
creased in city markets Thanksgiv-
ing week and prices declined owing
to slow demand.
Apple Trade Slow
Demand for apples was below ex-
pectations in late November owing
mainly to unfavorable weather con-
ditiOns. Receipts from New York
and New England states were mod
crate to light although there was
some increase for the Thanksgiving
markets. Dealers who had been ex-
pecting rising prices were glad to
make sales at previous levels. Vir-
ginia receipts of this variety ranged
$S.25 to $3.50 per half bushel basket
in New York.

= The expected price advance in the
produce market in late November
met interference from mild weather
conditions. Fairly liberal supplies
on hand and light trading brought a
slightly weaker trend for some prod

western lettuce was the only sharp
change. Potatoes, apples, onions and
cabbage were no more than steady.
Celery prices weakened owing to
increased receipts. Sweet potatoes

TOMATO CONTEST
AROUSES INTEREST
OF FARM BUYERS

Into the Offices of real estate
agencies, farm agents. newspapers
and lawyers throughout the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula are pouring steady
streams of inquiries from prospec-
tive farm buyers in many sections
of the country, who have been at
tracted by the nationwide publicity
given the tomato growing contest
between Walter p Chrysler, inter-
nationally famous motor magnate,
and Colonel Albanus Phillips, presi-
dent of the Phillips Packing Com
pany of Cambridge. Md.
Associated Press dispatches, mag
azines and news-magazine stories
and special articles by staff Writers
of metropolitan publications have
served to broadcast this story from
coast to coast, with the result that
land owners in many part of the
nation are requesting information
about the availability of farm tracts
in different sections of the peninsula.
The most important peninsula
farm sale of the last few days was
the purchase of historic and pic
turesque "Blakeford." in Queen
Annes county. by George NJ. Moffett.
president of the Corn Products Re-
fining Company, New York. The old
colonial estate contains over $50
acres and the purchase price was
above the 100000 mark.
Early last summer Mr.. Chrysler
and Col. Phillips entered into a
friendly contest under the terms of
which Mr.. Chrysler agreed to enter
tain the Cambridge soup and vege-
table packer at terrapin dinner If
he failed to produce ten tons of to-
matoes to the acre. Col. Phillips
agreed to provide the diamond back
feast IL Mr.. Chrysler succeeded. Fig
ures compiled recently by the Mary
land Ten Ton Club disclosed that
Mr.. Chrysler grew 9.05 tons to the
acre, missing the goal by the scant
margin OF less than ton.
In the news stories appearing in
throughout the coun-
try, the fact was stressed that the
Del-Mar-va Peninsula is one Of the
largest tomato producing areas In
the world, and this has served to
whet the interest of thousands of /
farm buyers in many |
parts OF the country.

would have sole jurisdiction over all
racing. The commission would con-
sist of three members to be ap.
pointed by the Governor, not more
than two of them of the same po-
litical party. The Governor would
! designate the chairman and the
secretary. One would hold office for
two years. one for four years and
one for six years and thereafter
their successors would hold office
for six years. Each would have to
give bond in the sum of 100000, the
cost of which would be paid by the
commission as part Of its expenses.
The members of the board would
receive 81 a year and no employee
of the commission could be paid
more than $4,000 annually. The
board would issue all licenses for
the holding of horse races and des-
igRate the days on which racing
could be held. No track less than
one mile could secure a license. The
bill further specifies that mo one
person, corporation or association
shall be given a license to conduct
racing for more than 20 days in one
year and no person, corporation, or
association shall be licensed to hold
more than two meetings in any one
year nor shall more than two meet
ings for racing with an aggregate
of 20 days be held in any one year
on any one track within the State
of Delaware"
Racing under the act would be
limited to horses. In other words,
it would not permit dog racing.
Races would be run under the rules
of the Jockey Club of New York
which rules govern practically all
the legitimate race tracks in the
country. No race could be author
lied for a purse Of less than 500
and no employee of any group IL
censed to conduct races could be
paid more than $4,000 annually.
Heavy penalties are provided for
violation of any part Of the pro-
posed law.
Estimates of the possible revenue
from one or more race tracks in
Delaware is based on the thousands
of people who pass through this
State every day during the Mary
land racing season from New York.
Philadelphia and other places on
their way to the Maryland tracks.
There are four of them, Havre de
Grace, Laurel. Bowie and PimlicO,
and in the spring and fall when
races are held there special trains
and automobiles carry thousands of
visitors to them.
Some officials Of this State esti-
mate all of this attendance would
patronize a track operated here and
possibly even more. because of its
close proximity to New York. Phila-
Baltimore and Washington.
They are said to be anxious to make
the experiment, at any rate, in or
der to help swell State revenues.
