General Crop and Market Review 
The crops in general have been getting 
weather favorable for harvesting in the 
North. Rain is much needed to finish 
off the Southern production. Yield con¬ 
tinues good, with few exceptions. In the 
South the boll weevil makes it hard to 
raise a decent crop in most of the cotton 
States. It is likely that better ways will 
he found to control the pest. No bug ever 
yet has been able to get the best of civil¬ 
ized man’s ingenuity and to keep on un¬ 
checked for any long term of years. Mean¬ 
while cotton is the one sta pie crop that 
sells higher than ever before, except in 
times of the Civil War and the World 
War. It brings about double the average 
of 20 years before the war. It costs 
more to raise it now, but not twice as 
much, wherever the grower gets a little 
the best of the boll weevil. Other prod¬ 
ucts bringing rather strong prices lately 
are live stock and grain. Europe seems 
to be buying all the food and other things, 
too, that it has money or £oods to pay 
for. Butter has reached highest points 
of the year as production seasonably falls 
off. 
Fruits and vegetables are moving at 
top volume of the season, about 6.000 cars 
daily, and probably more of them are be¬ 
ing shipped than ever before. Prices are 
low. especially when compared with cost 
of production. It scorns hard advice to 
tell a man he better not ship his potatoes, 
but that is about all that can he said to 
the owner of a rough, low-grade stock a 
thousand miles or more from his market. 
At least one farmer thanked the writer 
for the hint to go slow on potato planting 
last Spring. Prices ate lower than they 
ought to he, considering that shipments 
have not been much greater than they 
were a year ago, when price ruled much 
higher in early October. One reason is that 
the dealers are afraid to buy heavily for 
storage, because they lost, money by doing 
so last season. Another cause of low 
prices is the presence of liberal nearby 
supplies in practically all consuming sec¬ 
tions. No definite relief is in sight, if the 
crop shows up as expected, but it must 
not be forgotten that mu* population grows 
at the rate of a million or more a year, 
and we ought to he able to consume this 
crop more easily than the large crops of 
past years. Very likely we shall have 
seen lowest prices of the whole season 
this month. The absence of heavy stocks 
in storage in consuming centers may tend 
toward occasional temporary shortages 
during times of interrupted transportation 
next Winter, and such occasions would 
mean opportunity for nearby holders. 
Growers are getting only 30 to 40c per 
bushel iu the great potato regions, and 
some in remote sections even less. 
Apples show a rather firm tone for the 
Winter kinds. These bring about $3 per 
bbl. in Western New York, nud about $4 
in the great cities. But Fall apples still 
flood the markets. Choice varieties com¬ 
mand a strong premium, even in a full 
crop year. Boston quotations of $9 to 
$10 per bbl. for shipment of fancy Mc¬ 
Intosh. grown in Massachusetts.' con¬ 
trasts with $3 to $4 per bbl. fur the rather 
attractive, but low quality. Wolf River. 
Western Gravensteins have been selling 
at $3 to $4 per box, while Eastern Fall 
apples sold at $1 to $1.50 per bu. Ship¬ 
pers in the Northwest me getting 50 to 
75c more per box for Delicious than for 
such kinds as Jonathan and AVinesap, 
which used to he considered top notch 
among fancy box apples. McIntosh ap¬ 
pears to be almost the only Eastern- 
grown stock which takes on a finish that 
enables it to compote right along in the 
same class or a better class than anything 
shipped from tin* Northwest. High fer¬ 
tilization. thinning and frequent spraying 
were used with these fancy McIntosh, and 
there are those who suspect that fancy 
methods will produce equally fanev fruit 
from more than one or two varieties, f.
