Tomato Market
Is Down In '62
Fewer Pennsylvania tomato
es weie shipped to market last
and prices were down
sbaiply fiom those received by
gioweis in 1961, according to
the Annual Repoit of the Fed
eial-State Market News Serv
ice.
IViaior factor influencing the
decline in puces was the heavy
supply sent to niaiket during
the hist half ot the season
when supplies from competing
aieas ueie also heavy.
John P Capus, market news
repie&entative with the U. S.
ODepaitment of Agriculture’s
Agucultural_ Maiketing Service
in Philadelphia, said the op
posite marketing situation pre
vailed m 1961. At that time
Pennsylvania supplies were
heay lest in the last half of the
season, while those from com
aietmg areas yvere light. Anoth
er conti ibuting factor was
heavy rainfall during the
grow mg season, which lowered
quality and production. As a
lesult of loyvered quality, de
mand failed to strengthen, he
added.
Duiing its main season, July
through August, Pennsylvania
ranked next only to California
and New Jersey as the leader
in supplies of fresh market to
matoes In August it topped all
states in supplies going into
the 10 main Eastern markets
with 397 carlots, 87 more than
New Jersey, yvhile California
had only 48 carlots.
Campus urges tomato growers
Pennsihama tomato growers
to keep fully informed on mar
ket conditions not only in their
immediate aiea but in compet
ing areas as well. By keeping
informed on trends, prices and
the prevailing market situat
ion, growers will be better ab
le to determine whether they
are in a weak or strong mar
keting position. Analysis of
daily market news reports, al
ong with other available up-to
the-minute information, can
lead to effective selling and buy
ing. Capus declared.
The number of cities with
-.competition..of .more .than one
newspaper has dropped from
