Show Green Tomato Pack Continues More than 50 carloads of packed, pack-ed, green tomatoes have been shipped from the West Cache tomato to-mato growers' cooperatives shed in Amalga and Trenton to eastern east-ern and middle-west markets during dur-ing the past three weeks, Cash Smith, supervisor of operations reported today. ' Despite a frost which killed approximately one-fourth of the vines, operations will continue throughout the coming week If weather permits. Growers are receiving; re-ceiving; $20 per ton as a delivery payment and will receive a higher final payment than the $55 received re-ceived last year, he predicted. The crop has been easier to handle this season because of cooler weather, which spread the harvest period out. A better quality qual-ity product also has been noted he said. ' |
