TOMATO MART
DROP DISCUSSED'
Planting of Flats Held
Largely Responsible By
Davis Wade
Special to The Herald.)
SAN BENITO, June 5.—Breaking'
of the tomato market is blamed
more on the fact that many grow
ers planted early flat varieties in
an effort to catch the early market
after their globe varieties were cut;
back by the cold than on the re
cent rainy spell by Davis Wade of
Wade Newton, Valley shippers
with headquarters here.
Originally the growers planted
heavily to the standard globe vari
eties, Mr. Wade said. *nien when
the globes were hurt by the cold
they replanted with varieties* which
were early but flat. The trade pro
tested against the early varieties
because the buying public does not
like them. They are thin and not
as easily sliced as the round toma
toes. The flats do not carry as well
as the globes and there is more loss
in transportation.
If the globe varieties had been
retained and rains hJd not inter
fered. good prices would have been
realized for tomatoes all season,
Mr Wade said.
Tomatoes are coming in freely
from Mississippi and East Texas,
and there seems to be an oversup
ply. he stated. Inferior quality early
in the season when the rot was
developing, hurt the market, but
with the present oversupply the
grading is closer and prices may
strengthen.
About, a cent a pound is being
paid in East Texas for tomatoes and
a cent and a half in the Valley.
“If It should rain more we would
not hang onto the deal," Mr. Wade
aaid. The crop now being harvested
is from new growth and is of good
quality. There are said to be quite
a few tomatoes left.
