COMMODITIES
CORPORATION
HAS AN OFFICE
Set Up In The Peninsula Elk
change Building Under
Charge S. ID. Clarke

The Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation has set up an office in
the Peninsula Exchange Building, Po-
comoke City, telephone 1856, in charge
of Mr.. Saxon D. Clarke. They will
purchase cars in barrels or bags, pro-
viding they will grade U. S. No. 1.
The price will be net to the grower
less the inspection fee of $3.50. Farm
ers in Somerset and Worcester Coun-
ties who wish to sell through this
agency should get in touch with the
office at Pocomoke.
The increase in acreage in the nine
teen early states amounts to % per
cent over 1886. In North Carolina
acreage increased to $4,000 in 1887,
a gain of "a per cent over the 1928
so acreage. Production is estimated
to be AZ per cent above the 1928-1932
average and 10S per cent higher than
in 1886.
This situation, coupled with increas-
ed production in the other early states,
has caused rapid decline in price
during the last few weeks. Conse-
quently, farmers, congressman and 9th
ers have asked the Division of Mar
keting and Marketing Agreements to
institute purchase program for po-
tatoes in order to remove a portion
of the surplus and thereby tend to i'm
prove market conditions.
The Corporation feels that it can
render service to all growers by pur-
chasing surplus potatoes both at ship
ping points and on terminal markets.
The surplus potatoes purchased will
be distributed through relief channels
to immediate persons unable to pur-
chase potatoes in adequate amounts.
By so diverting potatoes to this use,
they will no longer burden the nor
NAL channels of trade.
Experience has shown that by pur-
chasing even limited number of cars
of commodity in given area, it is
possible to affect the market price for
all of the production in the area in
which the buying takes place. AS a
result, all growers of the commodity
are benefited.
