According to H. Derickson. director of the State Bureau of Markets, from present indications, it appears that at least four canneries will purchase their tomatoes this season on the basis cf U.

S. grades. The grading of tomatoes is not entirely new. About five years ago the Government placed inspectors at several canneries on the peninsula in order to secure data regarding the actual quality of tomatoes in this section, and in order to iormulate grades These grades were formed and the Bureau of Markets, cf the State Beard of Agriculture, provided inspectors at one or more canneries in Delaware during the years 1923 and 1929, in order that the growers and the canners of this State might become acquainted with the different grades. Except in one plant in 1929, no tomatoes have actually been purchased on the basis cf grade in this State, and it appears that Indiana, Colorado and other States have taken the lead in grading of canning house tomatoes and are securing a premium for their tomato products over the tomatoes produced in the Tri-States.

which, of course, is detrimental to the tomato industry in this State. The growing cf tomatoes in Delaware is a most important industry In the year 1929. tomatoes ranked third in value of farm crops in this State, being exceeded only by corn and wheat. A considerable quantity of corn and wheat is used on the farm where it is produced and in chat year it is evident that tomatoes brought actually more money to the farmer of this State than any other commodity. In 1930.

the value of tomatoes ranked fifth, being exceeded by corn, wheat, apples, and strawberries. Mary cf the growers of tomatoes of this St3te have felt for a long time that past methods cf selling were unfair both to the grower and to the canner. The grower had no incentive to deliver extra good quality to the cannery, because of the fact that the canner paid him no premium for quality of this kind. All tomatoes were bought at a certain price per basket cr per ton, and that only incentive, in so far as quality was concerned, was to put mem up good enough to pass the inspector at the cannery. A few weeks ago, at the request ot several canners in the State, Senator O.

A. Newton, president of the State Beard of Agriculture, and Mr. Derickson. arranged for a representative of the U. S.

Department cf Agriculture to come to Delaware and meet with the canners who proposed to purchase cn a graded basis this year, rhe purpose of this meeting was to secure as much information as possible re- States both to the growers and to the canners and to secure as much detailed information as possible regarding the actual working out of the plan. During the past week, several meetings of tomato growers have been held and the plan of buying and selling tomatoes on the basis of grades has been thoroughly discussed. There is no State law requiring that tomatoes be graded, however, in view of the competition from other tomato producing sections, it is evident that Delaware growers should endeavor to produce the highest quality possible. Mr. Derickson stated.

The interest of the Bureau of Markets, of the State Board of Agriculture, in the tomato grading problem is purely a desire to benefit the tomato industry in this State and to assist the Delaware growers in delivering as large a percentage of U. S. No. 1 quality as possible and in order to do this the Bureau of Markets will provide a trained and licensed man who will work with the tomato growers in the field, acquaint them with the different grades, and assist them in every other possible way, it was said. PRESENT PAGEANT AT DENTON CHURCH SERVICE (Special to Every Evening.) DENTON, April 7.
