TOMATO MARKET
IS SHOT TO PIECES
Rio Grande and Coast Association
Pessimistic as to Conditions of
Tomato Crop.
The communication printed be
low, dated June 25, is from the Rio
Grande and Coast association, and is
self explanatory.
Editor Herald:
Please publish the following,
taken front the Jacksonville, Texas,
paper of June 21, 1912:
“The to mato deal in the Jackson
ville country seems to be “shat < o
pieces” and a thing of the past for
this season at least. The local sales
men are holding firmly at 50 cents,
but there is absolutely no market.
There is no demand in the market
for the enormous supply. An aver
age of 40 t:o 50 cars daily art* loaded
in this territory, and the major pant
are rolled unsold. Strenvjous efforts
are being made to maintain the pres
ent price pending the heavy supply
of next Monday and Tuesday, which !
will be *:he heaviest of the season.” I
The communication, with i he ex- I
tract from the Jacksonville paper,
was shown to J. S. Duncan of the
Brownsville Growers’ association, by
a representative of the Herald. Mr.
Duncan unhesitatingly declared that
the conditions of the romato market
in the Lower Valley, as set fonth in
the clipping, were not in the least
exaggerated. He is of the opinion
growers, under existing
will find it hard to com
ith growers who are more
