HOI SPELL SPOILS
IONS OF
Fruit and Vegetables Rot on
Ground or on Way to
Markets Here
Ions tt fresh vegetables, ruined bv
the hot, wet weather, have spoiled ou
farm nnd In produco'mnrkct. Wagons
loaded with tomntoes picked vestcrduy
and Saturday urc being hauled from
the produce commission merchants along
Dock street this mornltig to be dumped
out ns wnstc.
Produce merchants say tomatoes
picked today rot over night nnd in mnny
cases have to be thrown away. Wag
oners were kept busy along Dock street
this morning londing up with the rot
ted, water-Ailed tomntoes while dejected
looking denlers watched them. Thc
farmers say the excessive moisture In
ground nnd nir, followed by bursts of
blistering sun, cause the tomatoes to fill
up with water. Thc result is they rot
over night.
Three big truckloads of string beans
were picked on New Jersey farms neaf
by' Saturday afternoon. The trucks
were parked in three farmyards, await
ing this morning's market. When they
arrived nt Dock street the dealers shook
their heads, the farmers turned their
trucks around nnd drove them, loaded,
home ngain. Kvery basket of string
beans was covered witfl thick mould,
nnd every beau In the' baskets wus
mouldy.
Pearlies, for the Fame reason, are be
ing attacked with brown rot on the
trees. One Dock street merchant
showed baskets of ns fine penches as
any one would wish to sec. They were
large, of liue color, firm nnd fresh
picked. Yet upon nearly every peach
was a brown spot thc sizo of a quarter
dollar, rotten, absolutely ruining the
fruit. Haskcts of these were being
hauled away.
There Is one more factor also due
to tho weather that is affecting the
fruit nnd vegetable market. One Head
ing Terminal dealers suid dolefully,
"You can't give thc staff nway. It is
too hot for housewives to stand hot
kitchens, so they are not cooking. They
are going to tho delicatessen stores for
their provisions instead. " Krult and
vegetables lire u glut on. the market,
despite the low prices."

Advisos AgainsVSalo
MAY BE NEEDED IN FUTURE
Retention of Hog Island by the gov
crnment, . covering or reducing thc
carrying charges by leading It to n pri
vate concern with the privilege of re
gaining it at once in nn emergency. i"
recommended by Matthew ('. Rriish.
president of the American International
Shipbuilding Corporation.
Mr. nrush believes the present con
dition of world politics and the possi
bility of the United States ngnln need
ing such an enterprise ns the giant
idilpynrd Justfy thp retention of tne
yard by the government.
The project is .being eonsldered nt
nshlngton from two nngips. One plnn
Is to retain the vord "ler thc Idea
outlined by Mr. Urush and thi othpr
Is to retain it ns n United Stntes army
quartermaster base and transport ter
minnl, Urush In Statement
Mr. IJruMi issued a statement on the
subjpct last night on his return aboard
the transport Cnntlgny. vJiieh made a
successful trial trip. He said:
"Hog Island should certainly be re
tained by the government nt present,
while world conditions are in such
threatening shape, and even with an
other emergency pnwd. 1 think It
would lie unwise tor the government
not to keep nnd mnkc use of the great
plant."
"I have learned with great interest
of the late reports from Washington
that the question of retaining the yard
Is being considered, " he suid. "I am
In a difficult position to comment upon
any possible action to be taken brthc
government because of my ofBclai po
sition. "Samuel M. Vauclain, who I sec
favors thc continued possession of the
plnut by the government, is free to
say what he pleases. However, I ff 1
I can Roy that I believe it would br n
wise investment on the part of the gov
ernment to keep the plant in operation,
iu somo lines nt lenst. It would be n
tremendous asset If the country should
become involved ngnin in the disturb
ing situation In' Europe, nnd It would
be little less of an asset iu time of
peace.
"'In fact, on our trip, up the Dela
ware, Colonel John S. Fair, who wns
aboard ns nldc to Wlllinm R. Williams,
asslstont secretary of wnr, in speaking
of the future of Hog Island, expressed
thc opinion strongly that thc govern
ment should retain the plant for" the use
of thc army. He pointed nut that when
war conditions nrose thc government
was obliged to pay huge rentnls for
warehouses and shops of all kinds.
"He said the government still bus
.$4,500,000,000 In various materials iu
warehouses nnd could effect grent snv
Ing by making use of thc warehouse
possibilities at Irog Island.
Expense Not Largo
"The expense to the government in
keeping the plant in high-class condi
tion would be trivial compared with the
results. While the shipbuilding cor
poration still remains iu control, wc are
taking every precaution to prevent nny
deterioration nnd the government could
do the snmp.
"With a fair amount of care every
part of the immense plant would be
ready to be put into operation almost
Immediately when the demand came.
It would not pay tho gurrrnmvue to use
thp plant for shipbuilding upon n small
scalp, ns it was planned to" do big tilings.
Any nttempt to continue shipbuilding
upon one or two ways would be a fail
ure. Rut there are possiuiliues tor cm
plojment of n great number of men
there in various lines ot work abso
lutely essential to the nrmy and navy,
and the entire plant kept in perfert
condition for unexpected needs. '
"I sincerely hope the reports urc cor
rect that the government is reconsider
ing tlip proposal immediately to dispose
of the plant."
Amazed by Magnitude
Colonel Fnir said this was his first
visit to the plant and he wbh umazed
at its magnitude. He ndded :
"It seems to me thnt the govern
ment should control the future of thc
enterprise by using it ns a military
base. Thc government needs enormous
facilities of which the Hog Island plant
presents "by far tho best possibilities o.
nny plnce I ecr hnve seen."
A searchlight was playing upon a
broom at the masthead when the Can
tigny arrived nt Hog Island at 11
o'clock last night, after an official trial
trip in which she developed a speed of
1(1 :.'!5 nautical miles per hour in three
runs over tho mensured courso in the
Delaware bay at the Rreakwater. Tho
contract called for fifteen knots.
For moro thnn thirty hours nit the
nuxillnry machinery on the vessel,
which was christened by King Albert
of Relglum, wns put through severe
tests, while the huge 0000 -horsepower
cross - compound, double reduction
geared turbine drove the 8000 -deadweight
-ton craft through tho waters of
the Delaware and out into the Atlantic
ocean.
The latest addition to Uncle Sam's
fleet of troop transports, which will be
ussigned to Pacific ocean service, left
Hog Islond Saturday morning bearing
a largo party of army officers, officials
of the shipyard, thc United States Ship
ping Board Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion and a number of guests.
When the fiuul Inspection tours were
completed yesterday, afternoon, and it
was announced tho Cantigny was nil
right, tho members of tho trial crew
were so elated with the showing thnt
they immediately hoisted n new broom
to the top of tho foremast, signifying
a clean sweep.
"The government never really did in
tend to sell Hog Island," said Assistant
Secretary of War Williams after the
trial trip.
