Countrywide Produce Situation 
WHY EASTERN' POTATOES ARE HIGHEST— 
THE DIFFERENCE IN APPLES—DEAD TREES 
IN THE CENSUS—HOD CARRIERS AND 
FARM HELP. 
Potato prices in the East have been 
separating from those of the West dur¬ 
ing the past month or so. Prices were 
close together the middle of October, 
while iu late November Boston, for in¬ 
stance, quoted 25c per 100 lbs. higher 
than Chicago. 
A year ago it was the other way 
around, because of the short crop in the 
Middle West. This year the potato crops 
are shortest iu the East. In a general 
way prices of any crop are highest re¬ 
latively in markets which have shortage 
in their usual main sources of supply, 
and lowest in markets which are being 
overloaded with a big nearby crop. Iu 
this case another reason is the good qual¬ 
ity of Maine Green Mountains, which 
commonly sell n little higher than most 
Western stock in the same market. 
Maine shippers are getting just about 
twice as much for their potatoes as those 
in Colorado. Maine potatoes at shipping 
points bring two-thirds as much ns they 
did a year ago, while Far Western stock 
sells at one-third of last year’s prices. 
This is one reason why the East is not 
feeling quite so blue as the West, where 
country prices run as low as 15c per 
bushel, and with no great demand at 
that, because of the scarcity of cars. 
APPLES 
Western apples are doing as well as 
could be expected with a fairly large but 
wormy crop and plenty of Eastern ap¬ 
ples. Western growers seem to be get¬ 
ting about the same for the run of the 
orchard as in the East. Their main ad¬ 
vantage is that so many of them get good 
yields every year, partly because of grow¬ 
ing varieties with the annual bearing 
habit and partly because the new. rich 
soil and high culture keeps the trees in 
full vigor. Some Eastern orchards, with 
liberal fertilizing, clean cultivation and 
enough spraying to keep the leaves bright 
and clean, often bear lavge crops on the 
odd years as well as on the even yearft, 
The weak points iu cave of many fairly 
well tended Eastern orchards are failure 
to top-dress and failure to spray more 
than once or twice, also neglect to thin 
out an overloaded tree. These points 
tend not only to annual crops, but to the 
fine high finish or style which brings a 
high per cent of the fruit into the extra 
fancy class. If all Eastern orchards were 
as good as a few of them the Northwest¬ 
ern box fruit would have little chance in 
competition. 
APPLE STATISTICS 
The apple census surprised the people 
of one of the lending agricultural States 
when the figures showed that the increase 
of 11 per cent in the number of bearing 
apple trees in the State was more than 
balanced by a 12 per cent loss in dead 
trees during the 10-year period. The
