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.

"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. FORMER BROOKS CITIZEN RENEWS FOR THE NEWS B. P.
