Government Buying Of Apples Hurts Market Says Virginia Editorial
The Virginia Fruit editorial questions the 1937-38 apple relief program arguing it unsettled trade, lowered confidence, and failed to stabilize prices. It notes government buys of 6,013,000 bushels were only 4 percent of output and cites declines in regular trade, export cancellations, and uneven regional purchases as harm. It laments pushcart trade loss and criticizes mixed grade purchases that capped prices.
