Fruits, Vegetables
= In Any Big City
Come Many Miles

Nearly one-third Of the more than
10000 carloads Of fresh fruits and
vegetables sold last year on the Chi
cago market-a typical American big
city, with year-around demand for
fresh products-traveled more than
1000 miles and arrived in near-per-
feet condition. the United States De-
partment of Agriculture reports af-
ter a survey of transit and storage
diseases. Much OF this success is due
to shipping and storage tests by the
Department.
Ten per cent of the fruits and veg
etables Travelled more than $500
miles to the Chicago market. An
other 10 per cent was shipped 1900
miles; 25 per cent, 1000 miles; and
90 per cent, including that trucked
in from Illinois and nearby states.
less than 500 miles.
Even though Chicago is centrally
located, the vegetables In a simple
combination salad may have travel
ed more than 5000 miles. Tomatoes
from Florida, lettuce from Califor-
mia, and onions from the Rio Grande
valley. all arrive In good condition
as a result OF better knowledge OF
packing and refrigeration.
Most fresh fruits and vegetables
are now available throughout the
year In most large cities and In
many smaller ones. Even strawber-
ries and watermelons, once available
for only a short period each year,
may be purchased In quantities for
s to months each year.
Milford chronicle., 1937-08-27
PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Demand in the produce markets Ii
generally slow to moderate. Many oi
the large cities report draggy con-
ditions, caused largely by heavy re-
ceipts by motor truck from nearby
\ producing sections. In some markets
the local supplies are crowding out
most of the usual carlot shipments
and the carlot movement became
light in late August because low
| prices caused distant shippers TO
hesitate.
Shipments of fruits and vegetables
were less than 10000 carloads the
/ second week of August, according to
reports of the Bureau of Agricultur-
al Economics. They were about per
cent less than for the week before
and one-third less than a year ago.
Seasonal decreases of melons and
cantaloupes account for part of the
light total movement.
Potato output was only about l.
900 cars, a drop of one-third from
the same week last year. Moderate
gains occurred for celery, sweet po-
tatoes, grapes. peaches, plums, and
lemons. Carlot movement was fair
ly steady for cabbage. lettuce, on
ions, tomatoes, grapefruit. pears, and
apples. Price trend is comparatively
steady for many products. A few
lines show recoveries as the supply
decreases, but for the majority the
changes are still slightly downward.
Potatoes Fairly Steady
A few further declines occurred In
eastern potato markets but midwes-
tern markets have been doing a lit
tie better since the middle of the
month. Weeks potato shipments
were only 1900 cars. drop of about
one-third from the same week last
year. Despite temporary recoveries
in some markets, Chicago dealers
seem to expect generally low prices
for potatoes during the fall season,
especially during the heavy harvest
ing period in the late states, and
they take a cautious attitude toward
the market. New York dealers have
been talking of buying northern
Maine potatoes as low as 75c to 81
per barrel but actual price levels
will be influenced greatly by wea-
ther between now and digging time.
Most eastern markets report mod
crate supplies. slow demand. and
fairly steady prices. Baltimore mar
kets weakened and there were de-
clines of sc or more at some other
points. Chicago advanced about &c
on western red stock. New Jersey
potatoes were steady at soc to S5c at
country shipping points.
Onion Supplies Moderate
The leading eastern markets re-
ported moderate supplies OF onions.
with slow demand and barely steady
prices. Shipments continue at fair
