Farmers Win In Potato Battle Sharply Tightens Virginia Market

Fifty checks at the Maryland line verify invoices showing growers paid the price and not for consignment. Box cars load and wharves buzz with activity as the producer to consumer funnel expands. Milton Hickman, secretary of the governing committee, says growers will maintain full market control. Rev Godbey returns home after revival meetings at Horse Creek. Frank Harper guests of Mr and Mrs Harnar at Reeklav Thursday.
