marketing official Of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration,
announced. Government purchas-
es will be made only when neces-
sary to stabilize the price of IS
cents a basket, or SO a ton, for
growers, Mr.. Derickson explained.
Tomatoes purchased will be used
for relief purposes. Effect of gov
eminent buying will be to take out
of commercial markets any surplus
of canned tomatoes which would
force down the price. Gamers, to
place bids with the government,
must show they bought from farm
ers a sufficient amount of fresh to-
matoes at $50 a ton to make up
contents of canned stock in gov
ernment contracts. The govern
ment hopes the commercial price
will be higher than that figure,
Mr.. Derickson said Canned stock
bought by the Surplus Commodit-
les Corporation will be paid for at
so cents per dozen for No. cans,
less normal commercial discounts
and costs of labels. Fresh stock
will not be bought by the corpora
ton. Tomato acreage this year in
Delaware was estimated at $4,000
acres, Mr.. Derickson added. Many
growers feel the crop will not be
so large in this section as antici-
pated, however" he continued. The
A. A. A. estimated 2,191,700 tons
were available for canning this
year, or nearly 10 per cent above
the recent five-year average. Prices
to growers the past two seasons
averaged S1285 ton.

using the ship for short flights up and down

In spite of these azSa>%

all went smoothly
