Countrywide Produce Situation 
Northern farmers planting larger acre¬ 
age of truck crops. Prices tend slightly 
downward. Early signs suggest that 
Northern farmers are showin t the same 
tendency as those of the South in plant¬ 
ing more land to potatoes, cabbage, onions 
and other market, vegetables. It may 
prove to be a heavy year for such crops, 
and it would be useless to expect high 
prices if the season favors a large yield. 
price and yield 
Experience the past season that much 
depends on where the crop is located, as 
well as up n the total quantity. If the 
yield is good in the sections that ship most 
of their crops to market, the effect will 
be much greater than if the heaviest 
yields are in the thickly populated con¬ 
suming regions. The stock that is shipped 
to market baa much to do in deciding the 
price level of the market. The quantity 
kept at. home is valued according to the 
price quoted in the ln'g markets, which arc 
supplied from the principal shipping sec¬ 
tions. The past season it was the great 
commercial potato crop of aine. Minne¬ 
sota. Colorado, Idaho and North Dakota 
that set the market pace, rather than the 
short crops of the manufacturing regions. 
When the market surplus is in distant 
producing sections, it is handicapped by 
the freight, e urge, and shipments will 
stop coming when the market price gets 
too low. On the other hand as long as 
the price is fairly good as it has been the 
past season, the distant sections will send 
along unexpectedly large supplies, and 
thus keep prices from going very high. 
PLENTY OF WESTERN APPLES 
The situation with apples was some¬ 
what like that of potatoes. The main 
apple supply was in the far Northwest, 
and was handiea ped by heavy freight 
charge. The Eastern crop was light and 
a different type of fruit. The price seema 
to be regulated chiefly by that of the 
boxed apple crop, and the two classes of 
apples sold quite close together in price. 
The apple s ason scents likely to con¬ 
tinue oi. a steady basis. There are only 
about half a million barrels cf apples in 
eold storage. Besides these, there are 
four million boxes of Western apples and 
the boxed apple market may have to p-o 
a little lower to close them all nut. What 
would have happened if the East had a 
big crop also in *torage? 
Texas onion growers are doing well 
with the new crop, which, at $2 per crate 
and a fair yield, must be returning about 
$500 per acre, while last season much of 
the crop was hardly worth shipping at 
the prevailing prices. Onions ought to 
sell fairly well through the Summer, or 
until the Maine Northern crop moves, for 
there is no great supply in sight for Sum¬ 
mer use. • 
The strawberry movement is about done 
in Florida, and dwindling iu Louisville, 
hut becoming active in the Carolina*. The 
prices have ranged n little lower this sea¬ 
son. although receipts thus far have been 
no larger. The increased acreage through¬ 
out the country nml absence of killing 
frosts in most sections indicates a prob¬ 
ability of heavy shipments to come.

Law Regarding incorporated Village 
The village where 1 live is incorporat¬ 
ed : I am a trustee. Our streets are near¬ 
ly impassable. T think we could carry a 
proposition to dissolve the corporation, 
provided there was some method 1 y which 
we could maintain the sidewalks. This 
town is anxious to lay don n some mac¬ 
adam roads, through the above village, 
but is prevented by law, as the village is 
incorporated. I have been informed by 
the county engineer that we could sur¬ 
render the charter of incorporation and 
still maintain the sidewalks, throughout 
a designated district similar to a “fire 
zone” nr a “light zone ” I would like to 
know what the law is on this subject, 
relative to administration powers and 
liability, if there is so. *. a thing possible. 
Is there a law regulating an unincorpo¬ 
rated village? D. c. h. 
New York. 
A perusal of the town law will give 
you all the information you need in re¬ 
gard to an incorporated village. N. T.
