Cumberland Ranks High In Vegetables Is Great Peach and Berry Shipping County—Leads State in Some Products Among First II in U. S.

Few residents of fertile Cumberland County realize the Importance of the county in the production of fruits and vegetables. The rank the county in shipment* of various fruits and vegetables is published In a circular entitled. 'Fhcts and Figures About the Distribution of New Jersey Fruits and Vegetables for the Season of 1926.'’ by the New Jersey Bureau of Marketa. According to the clrcclar. Cumberland County shipped the equlval nt of 1609 cars of produce by ral out of the 17.755 for the entire State. The county n the ah' ment of mixed vegetables. havl < a total of 2171. a* compared with the State total of 446<. Gloucester County ranked second with 1157. Cumberland 'ounty also led In the shipment >f onions with 233 out of 254 ears for the entire Stale. The other product* in shipments of which ’umberland led are strawberries, lettuce, cabbage, bean*, carrots, turnips and spinach, the commodities being ranked according to their Importance, t umberland County stood second In the shipment of apple* and asparagus and second to Atlantic County In the shipment of cucumbers, peaches and popper* It Is also interesting lo note that the county ranks with Gloucester among the Unit eleven in import ance as vegetable counties throughout the country.

This Farmer Wants Help In Marketing Thinks Farmers Are Producing Too Much Now For Profitable Seles More Per Acre—Less Acres

Farm Editor:

1 And your farm page interesting in many respect*, but don't you think marketing Is one of the fanner's biggest protdwn*? You talk a lot on your pwge about producing more but the day of “making two blades of grass grow where one grew before" Is done for. It is that exblade of grass whit* la rutnthe fanner's markets. The college* make the same mistake. hat the average farmer needs lodsy Is help In martcellng more he does about production. In line* the fanner Is producing more today than he can sell Farm price* are largely regulatnl by supply and demand. The larger the supply In proportion to the demand, the; lower will be farm prices. Therefore. as a farmer who la trying make a living from the soil, would suggest that yon advote better marketing Instead of increased production. OVER I'RODUCnON We were Indeed pleased to receive the above letter, although

he matter of

production has been favored on the farm page rather than mar. keilng. "Over Production.” aa out friend chooses to designate himself. is very reasonable In Ms su gg os lions. The only criticism we would make Is that did not reason far enough. the situation, marketing of farm produce and production of farm produce are so closely related SIiM It is hard to tell where one begins and the other loaves off If a farmer produces market dze. clean potatoes and sella tho.' for a good price, yet his neigh! or cannot dispose of his underuse, scabby potatoes. Is the latter * marketing trouble a production trouble? M is a ry rare thing to find any kind market Hooded with Orel grade produce, but they are most always flooded with low grwd? preducc which should never have left the farm. High grade produce sells best on any market. •Any commodity has to be mighty scarce for common stuff to be orth shipping. High grade produce la usually obtained by the good production methods. Talk of marketing is a help and sounds good, but efficient production methods will get you farther at least. In South Jersey. We would like to suggest to "Ov;r Prodtrotlon” that he talk this matter over with Lewis Conover, of Green Creek. Lew made the remark one day that when his potato crop Is small and scabby ashamed to try to market

This fanmer

So closely related are marketing and production that it Is of thne to consider one without the other. Then. too. It la time that the day for making "two bladiw <if

Farmih-mseifes say this. The Bilik market Is glutted with milk trora low producing coks which are losing money for their owner* Our potato mwrket la hurt b- the acres which are losing money for their owners. Who will deny that a farmer who now produce* 1,000 bushels of potatoes on 10 acres would not make more proflt by producing 900 buiijeb on three acres? That la the principle we advocate — whether it concerns poultry, cows, apples or potatoes—more per acre, less per farm. The *00 bushel* off three acres are very likely to be of a must higher grade than the 1.000 bushels off ten acres. The cost of seed and labor are apt to be lent in the case of the three acres. Lois, but not least, the market would receive 900 bushels of high grade produce as compared to 1.000 bushels of produce of a lower grade. But we realize that the matter la a large problem and that no one person has a monoply on Ideas lor Increasing farm prollie. Lei u* bear what you think
