FARQUHAR 
Countrywide Produce Situation 
FARM PRIORS !.V WINTER RUTS—OX TON 
AM) APPRO MARKETS IMPROVING-CON¬ 
DITIONS LESS SATISFACTORY FOR POTA¬ 
TOES AND CABBAGE, 
The Farquhar principle of sep¬ 
aration ever insures clean, fast 
threshing. We have manufactured 
Threshers for nearly 60years, and 
our present modern line has been 
developed by continuous field 
experience. 
Rake Separator shown here is 
a most practical and economical 
machine for the farmer who does 
his own threshing. Made in two 
sizes with capacities from 350 to 
600 bushels of wheat a day. Suit¬ 
able for Gas Engines 7 H. P. 
and larger. 
We st cl ox 
Farm produce of till kinds seem to be 
in the usual mid-Winter ruts. Volume of 
supplies quite steady and about equal to 
ordinary requirements. The ups and 
downs arc not extreme, and changes bal¬ 
ance somewhat from week to week, so 
that the lung range trend of the markets 
is often hard to distinguish. 
drain has fluctuated considerably, but 
corn still holds around 50c per bu. in the 
West, and wheat has not progressed very 
far above the dollar mark. Cotton has 
suffered a net loss of 4c from the season’s 
high, and lately lias been the weakest of 
the great staple farm products. The 
markets for live stock, dairy products and 
hay have moved along quietly without 
sharp change. 
NO BOOM IX SIGHT 
Potato prices seem inclined to sag off 
because of the continued heavy move¬ 
ment from Maine and the West. Some 
weeks over one-third of the earlot ship¬ 
ments are from Maine, Colorado and 
Idaho. There seems to be plenty of stock 
in those States, and a fair amount in the 
Great Lakes section. The surplus in 
other sections seems to be drying up fast. 
The price holds around $2 per HJO lbs. in 
the cities, and $1 to $2 in the country pro¬ 
ducing sections. 8omc city markets have 
held fairly well near the high points, 
while others have lost half the gains since 
the November low point. It is time now 
for the effect of a crop shortage to show 
in the markets, hut with so much unem¬ 
ployment in the cities, and the consider¬ 
able surplus remaining in the great pro¬ 
ducing States, there is no potato boom in 
sight. 
SOME FIXES SEELING WELL 
Onions seem to move up a peg or two 
every week. The next four weeks will 
he the harvest time for the holders. There 
seem to be barely enough onions for re¬ 
quirements. mid no important competi¬ 
tion. Some city markets quote about $S 
per 1(10 lbs. 
The apple situation has taken another 
quick turn. Transformed from a lifeless, 
sagging condition to a state of consider¬ 
able firmness, the result of export orders 
and lack of earlot arrivals. A range of 
ST to SS per bhl. prevails for the best 
stock. 
("alibiigo markets have lost their pep, 
owing fo unusual activity of early ship¬ 
ments from Texas and Florida. It looks 
now a> if the rest of the old cabbage 
stocks might close out well below recent 
high points. At the rate the cabbage grow¬ 
ing business has been increasing in recent 
years in the South there will soon be lit¬ 
tle market left in Wiuter for late North¬ 
ern cabbage. G. B. F.
