With every reply received t

of plans to open a public market
in the city of Salem" within the
near future, farmers and growers
of Marion and Polk counties have
replied to the inquiry made re
cently by W4tson Townsend,
chairman of thei mayor's commit
tee. "We have been assured that
consumers will be glad to buy di
rect from farmers. If we estab

ers come to sell their produce?"
Since the first; article was print
ed, requesting expressions of opin
ion from those in position to sell
at the public market, replies have
been too numerous to be listed
here, all expressing the belief that
united support would be accorded
the venture, that produce would
be offered for sale throughout the
entire year, and that merchants
of Salem would benefit because
the farmers would be able to turn
their produce) into cash and would
be able to pay cash for many com
