VEGETABLE GLUT
POSITION IN BRITAIN
(Received December 21, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, December 20.
Covent Garden salesmen allege misdirection in the dig-for-yictory campaign, which has resulted in thousands of people growing their own vegetables for daily use, and are returning lorry loads of vegetables to farms for cattle feed and for manure. The salesmen declare that people should grow vegetables which were previously imported. Housewives and the majority of restaurants are also using canned vegetables instead of fresh vegetables. Greengrocers are unable to take up all the vegetables offered, though prices have fallen. It is suggested that the only economic way to utilise the present glut of vegetables is to ban canned vegetables until the position eases.
