Countrywide Produce Situation 
Some danger of overplanting vege¬ 
tables. fruit outlook good, except 
FOB LOCAL FROSTS. SLUMP IN ONION- 
MARKETS. 
A potato grower planting 10 to 12 acres 
in New York State inquires: ’‘What is 
the prospect for potatoes? Should I plant 
more than last year or hold off?" Better 
“hold off” a little. Most sections are re¬ 
porting larger acreages than last year, 
and only a crop -shortage in the midwest 
prevented a disastrous stump this Sprang. 
The grower who increases his acreage this 
season gambles on the possibility of a 
partial crop failure in some important 
section. Otherwise, the increased acre¬ 
age csin hardly fail to produce a supply 
that will test the market severely. New 
sections in the Northwest are coming 
ahead strongly in potato shipments. Right 
now. Colorado, Ohio and Idaho are sh'P- 
pipng together more than auy State ex¬ 
cept Maine. North Dakota has leaped 
from the rear guard to the front rank, 
and Montana is showing signs of becom¬ 
ing a potato State. These distant sec¬ 
tions are handicapped by* freight charges, 
but they need little or m> fertilizer. If 
the markets of Europe continue as at 
present, farmers are likely to raise less 
grain and shift partly to crops like po¬ 
tatoes, fruit and truck which depend upon 
the home markets. 
SOME FAVORABLE POINTS 
On the other hand, those who .feel like 
planting potatoes and truck crops heavily 
may urge that business is gradually pick¬ 
ing tip. thus helping the prospect of a 
good demand for farm products, while the 
cost of production has come down. Fer¬ 
tilizers. machinery and labor have declined 
enough to lessen considerably the risk in 
planting the crop for market. For the 
first time iu many years the supply of 
farm labor in most sections is greater 
than the demand, which means thut the 
farmer may pick and choose a little when 
taking on help, and perhaps when the 
first Summer rush is over he can afford 
some of the improvement work that lias 
been hanging over him all through the 
war boom period. Many old farms and 
buildings have been allowed to run down 
in condition because of labor cost and 
scarcity. Orchards probably will pay 
for good care and improvement work. 
New planting of t’-ecs has been checked 
during the past eDht years because of 
high cost of trees and everything else. 
vegetables lower 
The potato market looks rather hope¬ 
less. Maine growers are getting less than 
70e per 100 lbs , and the city price went 
as low as $1.25 in some markets. The 
big shipments from Maine and the West 
broke the market's hack. Receipts of old 
potatoes are falling off. but the Florida 
stock is tilling the gap, and South Faro- 
linn is about ready. 
Texas onion trices were cut in halves 
within about a week’s time. The growers 
tried to sell all at mice, and the onion 
market is one of the easiest to oversupply. 
Old onions were all sold at high prices, 
except some imported stock, which has 
shared in the sudden decline. Southern 
cabbage and most other new truck is 
working toward lower prices with the in¬ 
creasing supply. S***-'wb<'i-v : cs from the 
Carolina* west to Arkansas are bringing 
fair prices at 20c to 80<- per quart iu 
Northern wholesale markets. g. b. f.
