Independent Home Town Markets Stabilize Nation's Commerce
Thomas J. Sullivan argues that independent local markets are a key stabilizing force in American commerce, accounting for about half the distribution and resisting centralized consolidation. He notes that strong local markets check mail order and large firms, while recessions in towns trigger broader business contractions. He cites historical resistence to mail order, asserts community support as protection against universal distribution, and closes with quotes on saving children, Bible sales, and perseverance.

County Extension News on 1930 Tomato Outlook and Practices
The 1930 Government outlook says acreage for tomatoes should stay near 1929 levels while competition rises. Maryland’s Caroline county growers must cut costs and yield more per acre, with cloth covered cold frames boosting early planting to May 25 and higher yields. Tests show cloth covered beds yield 10 tons per acre vs open beds 7 tons. Marglobe variety leads in yield and quality. fertilizer guidance favors 1000 pounds per acre of 4-8-10. Recommendations: use good seed, 1000 lb of 4-8-10 per acre, plant by May 20, and grow more tomatoes from fewer acres. A 4-H program and a tomato growers meeting are scheduled March 1 and today at 2 p.m. at Liden’s School.
