They have seen celery acreages Jump 12V4 per cent in four years, and have seen celery farm values skyrocket from to $16,646,000 in a single year. Noise. Celery Makes During the past few years groups of the 446,400 growers in the three states have main put their heads together on packaging problems. The most recent program was that of the Muskegon Cooperative Celery Growers association, in Michigan. They decided on a trim, decorated can in an cardboard container, which appeared on the market several months ago. As an example of what can be accomplished by modernized merchandising methods, agricultural experts point to the growth f 150 per cent in the shipments of Florida limes during three years in which the fruit was available to the public in small attractive packages. Tomatoes In Full Dress, Innumerable devices for getting tomatoes before the public in a dozen different forms have been brought forth recently, and during the past 11 years' there has been an Increase of tomato production by more than 500,000,000 pounds a year, One dramaUc example of how a neat package can act as a hypodermic on sluggish sales was demonstrated recently in Birmingham, Alabama, under the watchful scrutiny of the 12 main tomato growing states' 2,300,000 farmers. Following an Ideal growing season of plentiful rain. Birmingham found its markets overflowing with tomatoes, a highly perishable product The situation required quick action and growers turned for a solution to an agency which had'been employed' by farmers elsewhere when faced with a surplus. Reports indicated that a similar situation had faced California peach growers and showed how the producers there had taken the dilemma by the horns and turned what might have been one of their most ruinous years into a profitable one. In January, 1936, warehouses were bulging with a carry-ove- r of 6,469,000 esses of peaches a figure 72 per cent greater than that of the previous year. Canners were offera ton ing farmer only $14 for the oncoming crop, which was less than the cost of production. Grecers te the Knew.

They turned to the retail stores to take advantage, if possible, of their mass buying and mass distribution systems. - A stabilization committee was set up and it immediately conferred with the National Association of Food Chains a group representing 37,000 grocery stores, with a plan for staging a nation-wid- e canned peach sale. The association agreed and swung into action the vast dis paraffin-seale- Just completed, widely extended the Maine potato market and returned the highest prices in the country to the growers. Of considerable Importance Is the success of the Campaign to the 2,500,000 farmers in the 21 states in which potatoes are a principal crop. The lowly spud provides nearly $200,000,000 a year in incomes from the more than 300,000,000 bushels produced each year. Faced with a bumper crop and the need of developing a larger and better market for Maine potatoes, the Maine development commission a year ago agreed to aid In a solution of the problem.. The commission was aroused by the reports of a survey which showed that the per capita consumption of potatoes dropped from 42 bushels to 2.8 bushels between 1905 and 1935, due, in part, to reducing diets. They also found that Maine potatoes were confined to markets in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. . Spuds Go High-Ha- t. , Groups and individual growers appeared before the Maine legislature in the spring of 1937 and worked out a plan whereby they volunteered to pay a one-cetax on every barrel of potatoes shipped. tribution facilities of the chains. As a result of this unprecedented marketing campaign, the canned was reduced by peach carry-ove- r June of that year from 6,469,000 to 1,343,000 cases lower than the previous year's stock for the same date' and the growers received $30 a ton double the original offer from the canners for the new crop. The Alabama tomato growers also found the solution of their difficulties in the modern methods of distribution. One firm, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea company, met the Alabama situation by marketing the surplus product in small cellophane-toppe- d cartons, each containing four tomatoes.
