Harrisburg. July 7.—One typical Pennsylvania county—Fayette con¬ sumes considerably more than 500 carloads yearly of fruits and vege¬ tables of a type which could be grown at home. Most of the im¬ ports are from outside Pennsylvania
This conclusion is reached by W, R. Whitacre and John F. Ross, farm market analysts of the Greater Penn.sylvania Council, after a sur¬ vey of the county.
They found that approximately 465 carloads of fruits and vegetables of a type which could be grown at home, were received in Unlontown during 1931. out of total fruit and vegetable recepts of slightly more than 1000 carloads.
This did not include carload ship¬ ments reaching Brownsville, Con¬ nellsville and other Fayette county points, or the large and rapidly in¬ creasing shipments received by truck. Truck shipments into Union- town alone were estimated as the equivalent of 416 carloads, a large portion of which also could be grown at home.
No less than 402 carloads of pota¬ toes were received in Uiiiontown during 1931, most of them from stat¬ es ha\ing approximately the same growing .season as southwestern Penn.sylvania. Crops most exten¬ sively grown in the county a.e ex¬ actly those imported mo.st heavily from the outside, it is said.
"The local grower can command a premium for freshness but onlv when his product is equal in grade and pack to his competitors." they reported.
Whitacre and Ross recommended that any plans to expand crop pro¬ duction be carefully worked out, with the aid of Pennsvlvania State College and other experts: that the erpwers carefully consider the pos¬ sibilities of co-operative selling; that of establishing farmo'-'s wholesale ein-b markets: and that they con¬ sider the assembling of loads of well- eraded. well-backed produce to be sont to n liable commi.s,sion iner- rliants.
