Delaware Food Market
Report
By Anne HOIbertOn
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

Produce displays are taking on
an autumn look as Concord grapes,
sickle pears, coconuts, Brussels
sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and
winter squash begin to come in.
Add all of these newcomers to an
already abundant supply of late
summer fruits and vegetables and
you have quite a supply of good
quality food to choose from. Week
end specials will make your food
dollar go even further since many
of these foods will be featured for
special sales.
The school lunch box continues
to get break. The prices of apples,
peaches and pears are lower than
average now. This is especially
true during weekend sales. Deli
cious apples are selling as low as
10 cents a lb. in some stores, Bart
lett pears at lbs. for rs cents;
and peaches as low as 5 cents a lb.
Don't forget seedless grapes-they
are plentiful, too, and prices are
fairly low.
Broiler-fryers rate top billing on
the market list again this week.
These chickens can be bought in
many different ways-cut up for
frying, cut to broil, cut Southern
style for frying, whole excellent
for roasting) and cut for frying,
but packaged in parts-all legs, or
breast or wings-rnaking it possible
for you to choose just what you
want.
More fresh pork is coming to
market as well as handbook for
specials" on these meats. Beef
also will be on feature sales. Watch
for some lower prices on rib, loin
and round cuts. The best beef sup
ply is in the choice and good
grades.
What's new in foods-Here are
two items of interest:
Vending machines will soon be
dispensing blue plate. specials.
These will be platters of meat and
vegetables, stored frozen, but
served up hot by some miracle of
the pushbutton era.
A new cereal is on the market
now. It's made from corn and. is
crisp, puffed and chocolate favored.
These little chocolate. puffs can be
used for breakfast and they would
make fine munching food for be-
tween meal snacks.

"A New York power executive
told Senate investigators today
his company contributed $93, 600
to the State Federation of
Labor partly to help the fight
against public power.
Earl j. Machold, president of
the Niagara Mohawk Power
Corp, Syracuse, testified before
the Senate Rackets Committee
that the company spent $93, 900
from 1949 through 1857 for
advertisements in the New York
Federationist, an annual publi-
cation produced in the name of
the State Federation of Labor.
Robert F. Kennedy, counsel
for the committee, told Mr..
Machold most of the money
was stolen by Benjamin Lapen-
sohn, the missing promoter,
and Lapensohn's colleagues.
Lapensohn, a former Philadel-
phia Teamsters Union official,
is reported in Bermuda. The
committee calls him fugitive

Circulation Small
The cost of individual ads
ranged from $1,500 to $4,000
Mr.. Machold said. Mr.. Kennedy
said the circulation of The Fed

to 5000 copies per year.
Mr.. Machold acknowledged
thtat the Federation's "tradi-

power was lone of the factors

turn been so widely advertised
or deliberately documentated as
this decline Of 1873.
I have been thum b / n 6
through newspapers published
during previous important bust
ness setbacks-the collapse OF
1929-33, the slump of 1878,
the mild recessions Of 1948-9
and 1854.
Certainly. stories were printed
about drops in production, en-
ployment, sales in those periods.
But the publicity about the
previous slides was picayune in
comparison with the publicity
now being given to the business
statistics.
News about this recession is
prominently publicized every
day. JobleSs figures hit the
front pages, are not buried in
the back sections. Cities in dis
tress are listed in detail. Retail
sales are charted weekly. Pro-
duction decreases are head
lined. So it goes.
We know we are going
through a general business re-
treat, that we have been ex-
periencing one for months,
that it is the responsibility of
Government to do all it can to
cut it short.
Is the wide advertising about
the recession healthy? Is the
publicizing of the facts good
or bad for the economy?
These are hardly superficial
questions. There Is a large
