Countrywide Produce Situation 
DULL TIMES TOWARD END OK YEAR—SOME 
LINES SAC A LITTLE, BUT MARKETS 
FIRM OOMl'ARED WITH YEAR AOO 
— WINTER T IlVl’K CHOI'S A 
FEATURE 
Except fur tlie little Jump in potato prices, a 
further recovery ill cotton. Wheat anil ltoga, and 
declines in cattle nml meats, Hi" wholesale mar¬ 
kets have maintained the listless tone usual 
around the year’s end. Exports seem to he the 
Viasls of most of the recent gains. However, in 
some lines there is underlying strength, based 
oil shortage of supplies. 
Most lines of farm produce closed the season 
at slightly lower prices. This is a not unusual 
situation at the end of the year, heemi.so whole 
sale Inlying tor the holiday trade has been com¬ 
pleted and the market stagnates a little while 
waiting for the next move. A year ago pota¬ 
toes were on Uieir great decline, and with live 
stock prices moving In the same direction the 
rest of tile market was carried along downward. 
This year prices are at least fairly steady, 
while new supplies are so light that stronger 
conditions are quite possible with llle coming op 
the new year. Drain and cotton seem inclined 
to move upward, especially wheat, which Is now 
well above the dollar mark, which used to he 
Hie goal. Export buying is the main cause. 
C’orn is above 50r ill Western cities; bran is tip 
a dollar or so; hay is down a little, with no 
large market above $30; live stock is off 13 to 
75e per 100 lbs., and meats have lost most of 
their recent advance. Dairy products show little 
change In price. The fruit and vegetable mar¬ 
ket shows a tendency to sag. Cabbage is $5 
lower and $10 below season’s tup: the runge is 
$4.5 to $50 in the city markets, and mostly $40 
in the country. Arrival of some cabbage from 
Europe and seine new crop shipments from the 
South have hurt the markets a little. Onions 
are off 50b from the season’s higtiosr. with a 
general range of $5 to $5.50 per loo lbs. for 
choice stock. 
TRICKING ON THE SOUTH COAST 
A new development this season is the ship¬ 
ment of what is called "new cabbage" from 
the islands off the const of South Carolina. 
These Island are close to the Gulf Stream, and 
have a climate not quite so warm as Florida, 
but more oven and lhoist In Winter. This cab¬ 
bage, mostly of the Fiat Dutch type, comes to 
market in advance of the Florida Winter crop 
and sells at rather high prices. 
Winter truck gardening, however, is a regular 
feature from Southern Virginia down. Hardy 
crops, like spinach and kale, are shipped all 
Winter from the Norfolk section. They ore 
grown as second crops and pay well in favorable 
seasons. When not worth shipping they supply 
green stuff to he plowed under Southeastern 
Virginia is the most I in port am trucking section 
of the East, with over 50,(KM) acres in truck 
crops, anil strawberries in the Norfolk section 
and 00.000 acres along the Eastern Shore. It is 
nil a lowland region, with much tide water ami 
wet lauil: only the elevated ridges of filediuui 
and sandy loam are liked for truck raising. 
Potatoes, cabbage and strawberries are the big 
Summer crops, but a long list of miscellaneous 
are grown on comparatively small acreages. Tim 
methods are not so intonsivt? as those of many 
Northern market gardeners, ami production de¬ 
pends more on lurge area than on high manuring 
and culture. They use for potatoes and other 
standard crops one-fourth to one ton of fer¬ 
tilizer. Not much manure can he had, but a 
volunteer second crop of crab grass often sup¬ 
plies a kind of sod to be foil off or plowed under 
fur the next crop. The potato crop reaches 
Northern markets In early Summer, just when 
file North is short of good [iOt.it,vs. 1 lie yields 
are not large, and the tops look rather small 
and weak to a Northern potato farmer. Doubt¬ 
less the growers soon will be forced to devote 
more systematic attention to green manuring on 
these light soils. 
STRONG POTATO SITUATION 
Potato prices When averaged for u long series 
of years, tend upward rigid nlong after harvest 
season. In short crop years the average trend 
is stronger, while 111 heavy crop years llie usual 
trend Is downward Tills season is one of short¬ 
age, ami by all rules the prices should begin to 
go ufi by January and roach top then, or more 
probably highest prices would not come until 
Spring. Thus far riu sustained advance has oc¬ 
curred. although markets strengthened notably 
a round the first of the year. The average range 
in the big oilies ts not much, it any, higher imw 
tiiun it was at the lowest, In October. The \c:i- 
soc is Hint the homy early supply broke the 
price, ami shipments the ttrst part of I lie son son 
have been large: out of proportion to estimated 
crop. This supply Is being worked off now. and 
the stock remaining to be shipped must be very 
moderate. The market tins strengthened first in 
the Middle West, as tn’lrhl have been expo, ted, 
since the main potato shortage was in that sec¬ 
tion. As Tor fnnada, it will take iptite a strong 
market to eons many bushels of potatoes over 
the 25o tariff fence. Denmark lias some potatoes 
to sell, but hardly enough to affect the general 
situation. The Jump of 25c per lOo lbs. in Chi¬ 
cago the last of the year was the most notable 
change in recent potato markets, but most pro¬ 
ducing sections are quoting slightly higher 
price* now. 
WESTERN APPLES PROMINENT 
The apple situation consists principally of the 
supply amt prices of stock from Washington and 
New York States. When Now York lias n full 
crop of Winter apples, n* in Ibid, ibis and 1920, 
the state’* shipments amount to about one halt 
of all those of Eastern apples, but in short crop 
New 5 r.rk does in the East, the proportion of 
New York’s shipments shrinks to about otic 
fourth. The explanation is that New York’s 
commercial crop- i* mainly of tho Baldwin va¬ 
riety. which bears lightly on the odd year, while 
other Eastern sections, having oilier varieties. 
iiiiiv have good crops on those seasons. 
iu the Northwestern box iipplo section, where 
Washington holds a leading position, just as 
New York does in the East. IlieproportioH of 
shipments from Washington is about the same 
every year, and comprises somewhat more than 
otic-half of tho movement from the nine lux 
apple State*. Many kinds of apple* are grown 
in tlie section, the table varieties leading, and 
the general assortment and proportion is about 
the same in nil Northwestern Stales. The yield 
is more uniform from year to year titan iu the 
East. and. fortunately for all concerned, what¬ 
ever tendency there is toward alternate Ugh ter 
crops bus appeared lit Die even year*, thus pre¬ 
venting an extra large crop of boxed apples on 
the saute years whim there is a big yield of 
Eastern fruit. Apple production iti the West is 
still increasing. The shipments gain every 
year, although expansion is much faster iu the 
odd years. Before this season the box apple 
section had never shipped quite half of the total 
apple supply, but now it look* as if two-thirds 
of this soason’s cariot stuck will have come from 
the Northwest. IP a great box apple crop ever 
comes on an even year to compete with a big 
crop In the East, the result will lie fur I'rotu 
agreeable to producers. Doubtless the West¬ 
erners will do what they cau to hold their or¬ 
chards to the even-year habit. G. It, F.
