Asuggestion that the Virgin

forth into the tomato produc-
ing field is opening the door
to further losses and added
overhead, for it isDvident that
the red tape and details Incl
dent to such a corporation, be-
ing quasi-government, will cut
into production efficiency and
at the same time add heavily
to expenses.
BEFORE gong INTO heavy to-
mato production, great care
and thorough surveys should
be made, a market assured,
and capable and skilled work
ers employed. On the other
hand, small farmers could
more effectively produce
quantities necessary for local
consumption. This, perhaps,
might be the best way out. It
could cut down imports al the

QUANTITY TOMATO PRODUCTION

QUANTITY TOMATO PRODUCTION
EVERY NOW AND again some ambitious person, and
this includes Representative Crawford, comes up with the
idea that ST. Crox should grow and process tomatoes for er-
port to the United States. A look at the facts should help to
clarity the great difficulties which must be overcome, and the
resulting inadvisability of such production and expectation.
Such q brief review iS.not to be interpreted as peSsimism. 1t is
rather an attempt to set things in their proper perspective,
and to warn Of the danger of pnnging into an enterprise so
fraught with speculation.
TO local weather conditions, the growing
Of tomatoes must be confined to the months in which rain
fall is highest, and these run from about September to Jan
uary. The tomato requires from 80 to l2O days to mature
enough for export, but the fruit Tor berry, we shall not argue
as to its botanical Classification ripens rapidly, and SO the
picking, packing and shipping must be carefully timed. Any
miscalculation as to this shipping will result in great loss, and
this has been the experience of those who have made the ven
ture. But there is another side. The fruit, shipped out on slow
~freighters, reaches the northern market just about the time
that Florida and California are also flooding these markets,
and SO the local effort is swamped and lost. By the time the
shipment reaches New York, or any other northern port,
freight charges have eaten deeply into profits.
BUTWHAT OF the processing of tomatoes? At least two
ambitious attempts have been made, and these ran into, al
most nSurmountable difficulties. The first attempt quickly
failed, and the equipment was left as the spectators pulled
up stakes and sailed away. The second attempt, gone into with
great planning and enthusiasm came through the Farm Sc
cuity Administration, an agency, which to all ntents and
purposes, was supposed to be equipped to handle such mat
tiers. However, that, too, failed, and the record stands as two
down, none up. Factors beyond the control Of the Farm Sc
cuity Administration and its personnel had eventually to be
faced. First there was the small farmer who had to be reckon
ed with. The venture, new to him, presented q great problem.
He could not understand quantity production, and 50 thought
thatto grow tomatoes at between $50 and 500 a hundred
was a pure waste Of time, when he could receive ten cents a

the temporary Craftsmanship of a
Red Cross nursery group. Assist
ing her are Mrs. L. Dunlap of Jack

have small children. The nurses
were organizing to be ready in

upon for their services.
The nursery group will meet Dec
