Other produce was taking back seats to cukes. It was reported that no other produce had been sola on the market during the day, while vehicles hauling cucumbers' kept a steady line for several blocks as growers awaited their turns at the platform. There was not much talk of po tatoes, but one person associated with a local produce brokerage said he understood potatoes have been bringing about $2.25 per bag. potatoes are not sold on tne auc tion market, but direct to the brok ers. Brokers would make no predic tion on whether the price on cukes would remain up, saying that each day’s sales would .have to stand . on its own, but intimated that the price probdbly will remain up if the quality of cukes are good, Markets for Eastern Carolina Potatoes ***-:*{. "No one can disprove that cob blers are not the best tasting po tatoes,” a Farm Bureau official told a handful of spud producers and produce brokers at a meeting in Mount Olive Thursday night and then asl^ed why it is that North Carolina potatoes are being push ed off the markets by potatoes grown in California. Paul Shackelford,- field repre sentative of the N. C. Farm Bur eau, answered this question by say ing that producers in thik section do not promote their product and as a result have lost the market to' California producers, who have to defray a $2 a bag .freight expense to get their crop to eastern mar kets, while local growers can’t sell their spuds for that much. These statements were brought out at the meeting held under the auspices of the Farm Bureau tQ explain an enabling act to potato producer^ of Wayne and Duplin counties. Under the enabling act, potato growers can form an asso ciation, similar to the Tobacco As sociation, Inc., for promotion of their spud crop. The meeting here was poorly'at tended with Farm Bureau and agri cultral officials out-numbering the three produce brokers and two or three growers. But it was de cided at this meeting to appoint a committee from each county to attend a 13-county meeting plan ned for the near future. The meet ing here .was one of a series being held for 13 potato-growing eastern North Carolina counties. - Shackelford pointed out that eastern North Carolina potato growers are within a 500-mile rad ius of half the nation’s popula tion, but have lost the market to California simply because there is no promotion and because growers are not giving consumers what they want. Bureau officials reported that other meetings held in eastern Car olina were well attended and pro ducers were 100 percent in favor of a referendum, such as allowed under the enabling act, and assess themselves in order to promote their product. Officials explained Thursday night that it is optional as to which means the group could levy its revenue. 1 Details, however, they said, would be worked out at'the gener al meeting of all counties and | brought to the growers’ attention 60 days before the referendum is voted on. Two-thirds of those vot ing must favor the referendum if it is to be approved. They port ed out growers could, if they desire to promote their product, levy so much per acre, so much per bag, or use some other method. Hugh Martin of . the State Farm Bureau, explained the act to those present and pointed out that if po tato producers want their crop pro moted they will have to do it them selves and can expect no govern mental support, at least, until they are organized. Revenue from this assessment, if a referendum is called and approv ed, would be used to advertise the good features of potatoes grown in this section and to promote the .sale of these spuds on the markets, finding new markets if necessary. Produce brokers at the meeting expressed an opinion that growers 20 Pay Court Coists Before MayorPro-Tem m City Court Mayor Portem D. F.
