Four Sheds in
Operation to
Handle Crop
The Timpson tomato market
got off to a good start Thurs-
day, May 26th, when Nubern.
Green of the San Pat Vege-
table Co., opened his shed to
handle early receipts that
were ready to go. Sir. Green
shipped five cars over the
week-end, the price opening at
5c per pound.
Three other sheds—J. D.
Hairston, H. Rouw Co., and
Mellwain Vegetable Co., open-
ed Monday—making four
large sheds to handle the deal
in Timpson.
Cariot shipments from this
point up to Thursday morning
totaled 24, and heavy re-
ceipts expected for the re-
mainder of the week will prob-
ably double the above number.
The crop is a little earlier
than last year; cariot ship-
ments this same date last year
totaled 4, as compared with
24 cars this year. Shipments
last year reached a total of
171 cars, and unless unfavora-
ble conditions arise another
record season will probably
result. Banner year for cariot
shipments from -this point was
in 1947 when 351 cars moiled
to distribution centers.

either the buyer or the government. America’s
banks are glad to make this patriotic contribu-
tion for the benefit of aH our people.
