Most  people  who  really  try  to  raise  a  crop 
use  plenty  of  fertilizer,  now,  and  spray 
the  crop.  Some  are  careless  about  seed ; 
Northern  seed  has  been  shown  to  give 
larger  and  earlier  crops.  In  my  opinion 
and  according  to  many  years’  experience 
it  pays  to  use  whole  seed.” 
“How  about  potato  seed  improvement?” 
‘‘I  am  urging  farmers  to  mark  the  vig¬ 
orous  hills  free  of  disease,  using  sprouts 
of  willow  or  other  wood  free  of  branches. 
Look  out  for  mosaic  disease  shown  by 
light-colored  mottled  leaves  and  dwarfish 
growth.  Ithizootonin  is  indicated  by 
dark  blotches  op  the  stem  neaV  the 
ground.  It  lack -leg  shows  in  wilting,  yel¬ 
lowing  and  dying,  the  lower  part  first, 
still  a  great  deal  of  rough  land  here. 
Most  diseased  hills  will  be  avoided  by  se¬ 
lecting  strong  looking  plants  with  side 
branches  starting  near  the  ground. 
"The  seed  itself  should  be  watched  for 
brown  or  black  spots  like  dirt  that  won’t 
rub  off  or  for  a  pitting  of  the  surface 
something  like  the  work  of  wire- worms. 
Both  are  signs  of  the  Ithizoctonia  dis¬ 
ease.  Blackleg  appears  in  the  rotting  of 
the  stems  just  above  the  potato.  Net 
necrosis  is  becoming  very  troublesome  in 
same  sections,  and  nobody  understands 
the  cause  or  cure.  The  diseased  seed  po¬ 
tatoes  show  slight  discoloration  at  the 
stem  end  and  inside.  This  disease  and 
the  rosarium  rot  cause  the  potato  to

Boston  Produce  Markets 
M  hilo  general  prices  lmve  varied  con¬ 
siderably  as  compared  with  last  week, 
the  general  situation  is  one  of  improve¬ 
ment.  Dealers  as  a  class  are  feeling  bet¬ 
ter.  There  is  less  talk  with  being  "stuck" 
with  certain  lines  of  produce.  Most  lines 
of  stuck  appear  fairly  well  cleared  up. 
The  absence  of  over-supply  is  especially 
noticeable  in  perishable  products,  which 
have  been  go  hard  to  sell  most  of  the* 
time  lately.  There  is  the  usual  gradual, 
Spring  increase  in  supply  of  dairy  pro¬ 
duels  and  slightly  weaker  prices,  but 
nothing  like  a  break,  and  eggs  are  in 
heavy  supply,  but  holding  well.  Vege¬ 
table  prices,  are  holding  firm  and  with 
other  leading  lines  there  is  no  marked 
change  in  values. 
BUTTER  SUPITY  INCREASING. 
Receipts  of  butter  are  now  larger  than 
for  the  corresponding  time  last  year,  and 
prices  are  a  shade  lower  than  last  week, 
but  the  consuming  demand  appears  suffi¬ 
cient  to  take  care  of  supplies,  and  the 
decline  is  hardly  more  than  one-half  cent 
a  pound.  This  drop  is  in  response  to 
weaker  western  markets,  rather  than  a 
local  development.  Production  is  in¬ 
creasing  and  dealers  are  looking  for  low¬ 
er  prices  before  the  climax  of  produc¬ 
tion  is  reached.  The  market  is  no  more, 
than  steady  at  this  level,  which  is  on  a 
basis  of  '•4  cents,  as  generally  quoted 
tor  extra  i  •  rt hern  tub  creamery.  Said 
t'hupin  &  Adams;  "Receipts  are  increas¬ 
ing  and  prices  have  declined  about  one- 
half  cent.  The  tendency  is  down  because 
customers  arc  holding  off  and  everybody 
is  waiting  for  lower  prices."  Said  Mears 
&  Co.:  "The  market  is  weak  and  the 
trend  downward,  as  it  should  be  at  this 
time  of  year.  Quality  is  fair,  showing 
some  grass-fed  flavor,  hut  not  yet  good 
enough  to  attract  storage  buyers.  The 
price  is  oil'  one-half  ami  one  cent,  and 
we  should  not  quote  strictly  wholesale 
lots  above  '14  cents.’’
