day rallied, recovering part of the

Moderate hedging in connection
with the largest receipts of the sea-

liquidation of September contracts

SALISBURY, Md, Aug. 19.-

money this year, a survey under the
direction of the Salisbury Chamber
of Commerce concludes.
Analyzing crop conditions and
markets, the report said ANY one
who is familiar with production and
markets will tell you" that the un-
usual character of the season put
more dollars into faramers' pockets
Although the Irish potato acreage
was $500 acres less than last year.
the yield was So per cent higher.
while the sweet potato market has
been so good that in some instances
the crop is being dug before ma
turity to take advantage of the 81
a bushel market, the report said.
Other factors contributing to the
improved rural economic outlook
were listed in the report as:
The largest cucumber season on
record; shipments started eight
months ago and are continuing
A drought in New Jersey helped
the bean crop in this section and at
one time the market hit a high Of
So buShel.
Cantaloupe production was only
about half the normal amount, but
this fact led to higher prices and
resulted in good profits.
Tomatoes ran into a demoralized
market, with several packers re-
ported to have on hand supply Of
last years crop. The prospect Of
improvement, however, is regarded
as good and green wrapped tomatoes
are bringing good price in dull
market.
Because of the hot summerm, de-
mands for watermelon have sky
rocketed. and the yield has been
above average.
