Poor Market Marks Utah Vegetable Crops Heavy loss of vegetable crops this year due to poor market conditions and increased freight rates has resulted in the "low est net return" for Utah truck farmers since 1941. Hundreds of tons of veget ables have been completely lost because growers could not meet shipping expenses, according to j John Gerber, manager, Utah urowers cooperative. The following factors were cited as responsible for the setback: set-back: Increased freight rates, increased in-creased cost of packaging, hiked labor wages and doubled cost of ice. It was also pointed out that the public has virtually reached reach-ed its "limit" in meeting retail prices. BYU Survey Shows Hometown Paper Readership High . Readership of general advertising adver-tising is seven to eight times as great among readers of hometown home-town newspapers as among readers read-ers of big city dailies, according to two surveys completed by the Department of Marketing at Brigham Ifoung University, cooperating with the BYU Journalism Jour-nalism department. The surveys were made in Springville, using the Spring-ville Spring-ville Herald, and in American Fork, with the American Fork Citizen as the subject- Both were conducted under the sponsorship spon-sorship of the Utah State Press Association. The survey indicated, according accord-ing to Roy A. Schonian, manag er of the U. S. P. A., that readership read-ership of general advertising in the two weekly publications averaged av-eraged 40 percent for women and 34.3 percent for men. In metropolitan dailies, the aver-, age readership of general advertising adver-tising is between four and five percent as indicated by readership reader-ship studies of long standing acceptance, ac-ceptance, he declared. Average readership of small town weeklies is superior to metropolitan newspapers because the tempo of life in the smaller town is slower, and the hometown newspapers have that homey, neighborly spirit, which cannot be achieved by the big city dailies, Mr. Schonian said- Other readership surveys were made by the Brigham Young University ' departments of Journalism and Marketing at Heber, Morgan and Kaysville using local weeklies in Cabbage. Hit Celery Crops Hardest Utah Hardware & Implement Hardest hit of Utah crops were cabbage and celery. Mr. Gerber said that celery acreage was 50 percent lower than in 1947. Moreover, the yield has been "greatly reduced" due to use of inferior planting stock. Utahns were forced to purchase most of their plants from Pheonix growers. This was necessitated, said Mr. Gerber, because of setbacks set-backs in areas which formerly supplied plants. Cold weather and a late spring virtually wiped wip-ed out the crop at Indio, Calif-6rhia." Calif-6rhia." The" Nevada' crop, which normally supplies Utah growers, was too late to offer a good yield. However, Mr. Gerber said, celery growers that have good yields will make a "substantial profit." There will be few of these, he added. Celery harvesting harvest-ing is in full swing now, but will terminate around October 23. No Carloads Shipped Cabbage losses have reached more than "200 tons," the coop erative manager pointd out-Heads out-Heads are splitting in the fields. Good prices obtained during 1947 induced farmers to seed excessive acreage of cabbage, but much of he crop has been disced under, said Mr. Gerber, "and not one carload has been shipped." Farmers received only $15 a ton this season. The price last year, he explained, ranged from $52-50 to $75 a ton. A large portion por-tion of the cabbage crop has been fed to livestock or abandoned. "At- least 33 cars were shipped ship-ped during 1947," asserted Mr. Gerber. "Unless the price goes up between now and January, none will leave the state this year." Many farmers are storing cabbage, cab-bage, he explained, hoping that the price will increase. In past years, it was pointed out, California Cali-fornia constituted the main market. mar-ket. However, California farm ers planted greater quantities this year. Increased shipping rates and cost of packing make it imDossible for Utah farmers to compete with California growers. The rjotato crop is the one bright hope" for Utah growers Mr. Gerber predicted that farm ers would receive a good return for the spuds- Main reason, he said, is the government support price-Onion price-Onion Yield Poorer Onion production is approximately approxi-mately 20 percent below last year. While the acreage is vir-tualy vir-tualy the same as 1947, the yield this season has been poorer per acre. As yet, none have Deen shipped in carlot quantities. Carrots have netted returns from nothing to 75 cents a crate. Harvesting, packing, icing and loading costs average from $2.25 to $2 40 a crate. Prices are ranging rang-ing from $2 to $3.25.

Potatoes Available For Livestock Utah County farmers interested interest-ed in getting fresh potatoes for livestock feed should write the Agricultural Conservation Association Ass-ociation in Provo, J. Earl Smith, ACA chairman, said Saturday. The Department of Agriculture Agricult-ure may have potatoes available for this purpose, but at present a livestock potato program has not been approved in Utah County, Coun-ty, Mr. Smith reported. Such a program could be approved if enough livestock feeders are interested, in-terested, he said. 10 Cents Per Cwt Potatoes are available for 10 I cents per hundredweight in bulk and 20 cents per hundredweight hundred-weight in sacks plus shipping costs. According to Mr. Smith, it is important that the county pnnsprvatinn nffirp Irnnw Im. association ; mediately the approximate a- mount of potatoes farmers need in order to start such a pro-p gram. Can Borrow Money He also announced that county coun-ty farmers will have an opportunity oppor-tunity to borrow nearly 50 per cent of the cash value of their high quality potato crops until Dec. 31. It will be possible for iarm-ers iarm-ers who accept the price support program to raise $1-40 per bushel bush-el on No. 1 potatoes which they are withholding temporarily ) from the market.
