POSITION—POTATO SUPPLY A MYS¬ 
TERY— cool) APPLES SCARCE 
Tin 1 rising price trend of potatoes, onions and 
onbbnge is the feature of the market, what 
little feature there Is at. this lime of year, 
Potatoes seem to have gone up as high ns they 
ran without a temporary let-up. The rise of 
50c per 100 lbs. brought out many potatoes 
whose holders had been counting on $1 per 
bushel nt i he farm, or no Male. Supply in¬ 
creased and prices weakening a little after 
reaching ¥2.50 per 100 lbs. in some markets, 
but the position of potatoes is strong, ami there 
is somewhat of a mystery on the subject in 
view of the unusually large volume of shipments 
in proportion to the estimated crop. The aver¬ 
age of live years shows only about 25 per cent 
of the total crop shipped in curlots, the rest 
being sold and used nearby. Hut tills season 
about 150,000 ears, or just about 25 per cent of 
the estimated crop, have been shipped already. 
Ahuut TO,000 more ears will be wauted between 
now and July, according to the usual rate of 
demand. To get them the price must be high 
enough to bring out many potatoes that usually 
would Is- used near home. 
Holders of onions feel secure now that the 
price has touched .$7 for 100 llis. In some mar¬ 
kets. They do not claim to be making much of 
a profit, because oust of production is still much 
higher than It used to be, and they had only 
half a crop, but Of late years a crop that will 
make steam enough to keep the wheels moving 
has been in the nature of a pleasant surprise. 
The onion growers of the Connecticut Valley 
took some heavy losses last seusou. This year 
llicy should do fairly well. 
Cabbage was a light crop, about six tons per 
acre in first-class cabbage sections, but one-half 
or two-thirds u crop, at two to four times the 
prices of Inal year, is not a bad proposition. 
Tbe apple markets are somewhat druggy. The 
reason seems to be a lack of good cooking stock 
nt fair retail prices. The Western boxed apples 
comprise about two-thirds of tlio supply. No¬ 
body wants them for cooking, and not many to 
eat at 5 to 15c each. Eastern apples are so 
scarce and high that the public Is not buying 
many at so much per pound. Wholesale prices 
of Western apples are actually less than they 
were n year ago, but the fruit stand people do 
not seem to know. 
There is a net change in prices of grain, hay, 
feed aud live stock, but general trend lias been 
slightly downward. Farmers have been feeding 
cheap grain to their dairy cows, owing to the 
liberal supplies of butter. Prices have been 
declining for a mouth past, aud average about 
35c for lurge lots of top grades in lending 
markets. G. B. F.

The Farm Bureau Movement 
This is the title of a book of 280 pages 
written by Orville M. Kvte. There is an 
introduction by James ft. Howard. Mr. 
Kyle has been very successful in his effort 
to give the public a plain, fair and rea¬ 
sonably brief account of the Farm Bureau 
movement. There are thousands of peo¬ 
ple who do not realize that a great and 
strong organization with over 1 , 000.000 
members has come into power. Unlike 
former movements of farmers, the Farm 
Bureau has thus far kept out of politics, 
openly at least,^ and has thus escaped the 
rocks upon which so many organizations 
have been wrecked. Mr. Kvle traces the 
growth or evolution of what may he called 
the farm revolution. Tt. has been a long 
time on the way, and has met with many 
setbacks and snags. Again and again it 
seemed as though all progress had been 
lost, yet while one organization after an¬ 
other went, down the principle for which 
farmers contended lived on. Then there 
finally came a time when public education 
and practical methods of organization 
combined to make the vast campaign of 
the Farm Bureau possible. Mr. Kyle 
tells this story clearly and convincingly. 
Any one who is interested in the Farm 
Bureau movement should have this hook 
for reference. It is the best statement of 
tbe case for farm organizations that has 
yet appeared. 
Wo had unusually nice weather in 
December, very warm at times, and very 
little snow, but December IS a very high 
wind passed over this county, doing much 
damage to property. There has been 
more plowing done than usual, also more 
of other Fall work. Corn all secured, 
and most of it was husked by machine. 
The crop was a large one, but not as 
good quality as last year. Wheat has 
gone into Winter quarters, with a very 
small growth. Very little stock being 
fattened, on account of high price of 
feeders and the large crop of corn in the 
West. A pruning demonstration was 
held in the neighborhood, and farmers 
went home with the understanding to let 
the young trees alone until 10 or 12 
years of ago. E. T. B.
