“Leap’s Prolific” Wheat 
Again Out-yielding Other Varieties 
Crops of 35 to 41 bushels per acre have been threshed this year. One 
14-acre field made 568 bu. Another, 10-acres, 386 bu. Eighteen 
acres gave 692 bu. In former seasons under more favor¬ 
able conditions, as high as 554 bu. were grown on 12 
acres—over 46 bu. per acre. Every year since 1913 has 
seen “Leap’s Prolific” leading other wheats. It has 
proven a reliable variety—and can be depended upon 
for profitable results. 
“Leap's Prolific” is classed as a lmrd, red winter wheat. Grows 
a beardless, white-chaff head. Grain is of good size, long, and of 
finest milling qualities. Straw is tall and stiff. It is early, hardy, 
vigorous and PROLIFIC indeed. It stands rough farming. Re¬ 
sponds with big yields to careful culture and fertilization. It 
does not shatter easily. Makes broad compact heads (see cut) 
filled with grain from base to tip. “Leap’s Prolific’ is a great 
stooler. 1% bu. is enough to sow an acre. You need not sow 
more of this seed. The undersigned has sold hundreds of 
thousands of bushels of winter seed wheat, of perhaps twenty 
varieties—all of merit—and believes “Leap’s Prolific” entitled 
to first place as a hardy, vigorous, prolific variety.

Philadelphia Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets) 
Practically the entire Philadelphia 
fruit and vegetable trade is now being 
supplied from the nearby Pennsylvania 
and New Jersey farms, the principal ex¬ 
ceptions being lettuce from New York ami 
watermelons from Maryland and North 
Carolina. Fruits have been especially 
plentiful, particularly apples and peaches. 
The apple market, was practically de¬ 
moralized for several days, there being 
little or no demand for most of the stock, 
and what little was sold generally ranged 
*20 to 50 cents per %-bu. basket. Some 
of the Delaware apples in bushel hampers 
sold up to $1 per hamper. New Jersey 
white peaches ripened up with a rush last 
week, and the Philadelphia market was 
heavily supplied, the peaches ranging 
widely in quality and condition. The 
ripening of the yellow varieties of peaches 
followed closely on the white, and fancy 
Elbertas were In fair demand at 50 to 75c 
per %-bu. basket, with a dollar being re¬ 
ceived for some of the extra fancy fruit. 
The early variety of white peaches sold 
generally 15 to 30c, while Relies sold at 
30c to $1 for good quality peaches. The 
market was well supplied with canta¬ 
loupes of all grades, there being a good 
demand for the better qualities, especially 
pink-meated cantaloupes, which sold gen¬ 
erally at from 20 to 50c per %-bu. basket 
for ordinary, with some fancy selling up 
to $1 per basket. A few pears were of¬ 
fered, hut the market proved dull, Bart¬ 
lett* selling on Ihe 22d of August at $1 
to $1.25 per 20-qt. basket, while crab- 
apples sold around $1 a basket. New 
York lettuce was generally of poor qual¬ 
ity, the light offerings of good stock aver¬ 
aging 75c to $3.25 per crate of two dozen 
heads. There was practically no demand 
for cabbage, and peppers were in such an 
abundance that prices ruled very low, 
10 to 15c per %-bu. basket being a com¬ 
mon range in price. Sweet corn had a 
fair demand, but much of the stock 
showed effects of insects. Bonnsylvania 
corn selling chiefly $1.50 per 100 ears 
downward, uud Jersey corn 30 to 50c per 
basket. Lima beans were in good de¬ 
mand. selling cm August 22 _nt 30 to 60c 
for ordinary, and 00 to 75c for fancy 
stock. New Jersey growers expect an in¬ 
crease of about 827,000 bn. in their crop 
of sweet potatoes oven- last year’s pro¬ 
duction. In fact, heavier yields are ex¬ 
pected in all sweet potato-growing States 
excepting Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and 
Louisiana, the total increase for the 
United States amounting to about 13.- 
000.000 bu., according to the United 
States Department of Agriculture’s esti¬ 
mate for August 1. Tomatoes were in fair 
demand, but the market was rather un¬ 
settled. The potato market has been gen¬ 
erally dull and druggy, although a better 
demand was reported on the 22d and 23d. 
With the exception of potatoes, which are 
sold mostly to chain stores, the %-bu. 
basket is used on the Philadelphia mar¬ 
ket, which at this season of the year is 
well supplied from nearby growers who 
truck them iu daily. No. 1 Irish Cob¬ 
blers sold for the week ending August 22 
from 35 to 50c per basket. 
EGGS 
There has been a scarcity of strictly 
fancy eggs, which were readily absorbed 
by the trade, but medium and poorer 
graded were generally dull and values ir¬ 
regular. Nearby extra firsts sold mostly 
at 28%e a dozen during the week ending 
August 22, and jobbing sales to retailers 
for candled eggs in cartons were quoted 
at 33 to 31c a dozen. 
POULTRY 
The market on live fowl was about 
steady, with only a small proportion of 
the offerings grading us fancy stock, 
which bad a fair sale. Undergrades were 
generally slow, and the market on such 
was irregular. Fancy colored live fowl 
sold 2-1 to 20c lb., and small sizes, IS to 
22c lb., with best Spring chickens up to 
33c lb. Dressed poultry was in moderate 
supply, but generally sufficient to meet 
the requirements of the trade. Fresh- 
killed fowls were quoted up to 29c lb., 
and nearby broiling chickens, 32 to 34c 
lb., with Western broilers averaging a 
cent or two lower. 
IIAY AND STRAW 
Old buy is about cleared up, and new 
hay is increasing in supply. The demand 
has been fair. No. 1 Timothy, new, $17 
to $20 ton; clover mixed. $15 to $17 ton; 
No. 1 rye straw, $20.50 to $21, ami No. 3 
oat straw at $12 to $32.50 pet ton were 
the prevailing quotations for the week on 
the various grades of hay and straw. The 
total hay crop for the United States is 
estimated at 110,300,000 tons for 1922. 
Last year’s estimated production was 13,- 
500.000 tons less, according to the esti¬ 
mates of the United States Department 
Of Agriculture B. W. S.
