V rrz Tomato
Bootlegging New Becomes
A Industry in Maryland
Cambridge, Md., Nov. 12.—
Bootlegging of tomatoes is an in
dustry that has been brought
about on the eastern shore by
the contracting in tomato acreage.
Instead of hauling the tomatoes
in one’s own wagons or trucks
from the front gate in daylight
there has been instituted the
scheme of hauling them from the
back gate to the canneries after
dark.
The packing season has just
closed and a banker of this city
who is financially interested in
a large packing establishment
tells an interesting story.

miles froin this city, contracted
with a cannery in which I am in
terested for the delivery of his
entire crop to our place. 1
“As the season came on and the
crop matured slowly prices be
gan to advance. "While under the
contract we were paying 30 cents
a basket, on the open market
the price ranged about 45 cents.
H We began to suspect that this
grower was not fulfilling his con
tract, and one night watched his
place.
“After the days’ work was done
and the pickers had gone home
the grower began moving his
tomatoes in baskets toward a rear
lane at his farm. Later a truck
drove up to where they were
stored and removed them. T
Early the next morning the
truck was followed to the plant
of a rival concern, and it there
unloaded 200 baskets. Upon in
vestigation we found that this
was an organized scheme, and
that our competitors were getting
our fruit.
More Money.
It is said that thousands of
baskets of fruit have been
switched out in this way, and the
grower has received about 15
cents more a basket than he
would had he lived up to his con.
tract.
A regular system of transport
ing the tomatoer, with a go-be
tween to arrange for the diversion
of the fruit, has been installed
it is claimed.
