TT is the practice of most farmers to
i sell their perishab1e pre- .ce to
commission merchants who, in turn,
ship it to distant cold storage plants.
Growers are forced to accept what
ever prices are offered, as it is impos-
sible for them to hold such products
for higher markets. However, many
progressive farmers throughout the
country-realizing that much larger
profits thereby are possible-are in
Sailing their own electrically-pow-
cred cold storage rooms or buildings.
This is good common sense because
a privately-owned cold storage plant
has many advantages: There is less
shrinkage and spoilage, not only be-

produce and its placement in storage;
higher prices are obtained not only
because of superior quality but also
because products can be held for the
best marketing times; everything

quantities of foodstuffs are concerned

Wade still holds the world official
record of 21A seconds for 2 fur
longs.
