Dry Weather Cripples East Texas Tomato Crop
East Texas tomato shipments drop sharply this year due to continued dry hot weather. By midweek the Cotton Belt had moved 95 cars versus about 300 at the same point in 1952, with total 1952 shipments at 644 cars and 200 cars forecast this year. Prices climbed with some fruit selling up to 20 cents per pound, while pink tomatoes reached 23 to 25 cents per pound. Watermelons show better growth with good sized fruit on early plants.
