Countrywide Produce Conditions 
POTATO PRICKS REBOrXD. 
After more than a month of rapid de- 
eline, pototo prices rebounded sharply 
in Eastern m.arket sections. Car shortage 
seems to be the main rea.son. Supplies 
in the shipping sections were abundant, 
but the.v were not reaching the consum¬ 
ing centers much faster than during the 
winter freight blockade. Accordingly 
prices failed to go down beyond a cer- 
t.ain limit and finally began to recover. 
This improvement extended to shipping 
seedions and growers began to hold back 
for a further rise. The result wa.s an 
active, excited condition in such markets 
as Rochester, Now York, and in the 
shipping centers of ^Minnesota ;ind Mich¬ 
igan. Prices advanced as much as 40c 
per ewt. in some places in New York 
State and the Lake Region. 'J'he Pacific 
Northwest and the Mountain States 
shower] little improvement, prices drag¬ 
ging at 7i>c to $]. mostly below .$1 per 
cwt. including .sacks, while in the East 
prices for hulk stock are mostly .$1 or 
higher, to growers. In the large city 
markets prices have advanced 250 more 
or less, and rule generall.v from .$L.50 to 
.$2.25 per hundred pounds. Heavy jnir- 
chase on (Tovernment _ account have 
helped the situation considerably, hut it 
cannot be denied that the unsold stock 
is still enormous. The Food Adminis¬ 
tration is directing a campaign to in- 
crease the demands and, if possible, to 
prevent further demoralization, of prices. 
ONIONS DRAGGING. 
The onion situation shows little im¬ 
provement. It is j.lain that some stock 
not of the first quality 'vill hardly be 
saleable. Certain storage holdings, it is 
re])orted, have been actually given away 
because unfit for marketing on account 
of softening and sjirouting. The move¬ 
ment of 3’exas onions is scheduled to 
liegin about March 28. and it appears 
that the .stock to be .shipiied is fully as 
large as the remaining stock of old 
onions, thus indicating over supply and 
low lu-iccs for both the old and new stock. 
Besides something like 7,000 carloads of 
'JVxiiS onions and perhaps 1,000 carloads 
of California new onions, there are sev¬ 
eral thousand carloads remaining of old 
.stock. Holders have been offering old 
onions around .$1 per hundred pound 
sack, and the price in most of the mar¬ 
kets has ranged from 00c to $1.50 per 
sack. 
OLD CABBAGE CIXISES WEAK. 
The last of the lai'ge shipments of old 
cabbage have been going forward at com¬ 
paratively low prices. Shipments are 
now hardly more than a dozen cars per 
week, while ten or fifteen times that 
amount of new cabbage from the South 
is arriving. Most old cabbage is now in 
rather jioor condition and comes only 
about .$15 per ton at shipping point.s, 
while city markets range from $20 to 
$40 per ton. 
BILVNS STEADY. 
The bean market has been giving a 
fairly good account of itself ever sinee 
recent Government purchases on a large 
scale. Prices have held around the level 
established hy such sales. Growers re¬ 
ceive $12 or .$1.1 per cwt. for Ea.steru 
white and colored stock and around $8 
per cwt. for ’Western colored .stock. City 
markets have quoted .$9 to .$10..50 for 
IWstern coIoiikI stock, and $13.50 to 
$14.2.5 for choice white stock, both Ea.st- 
81*11 and Western, while Lim.a beans have 
sold from $14 to $15 per cwt. 
Al’PLES FIRM. 
The situation continues quite satisfac- 
tDry regarding stocks of barrelled apjdes. 
Prices of lots iu good condition are firm 
and even higher in some markets, and 
choice Baldwins and Greenings have 
reached $7 in Chicago and some other 
cities. The local general range for choice 
lots of standard varieties has been .$4.50 
to $.5.50. Mo.st of the barrelled apples 
have been shipped out of growing sections 
and the sto<'k remaining in cold storage 
is considerably less than it was last year 
at this time. The stock of box apples iu 
storage is much larger this year, but it is 
likely to be taken care of in view of the 
good demand, the shortage of barrel ap¬ 
ples and the light crop of oranges.

Grind Your 
Own FlourC 
Help the Nation win the war! 
Save wheat—our soldier boys and our 
Allies must h ave it. Use more rye flour, 
corn meal, graham or whole wheat flour va 
your baking. You can cut the cost of liv¬ 
ing and help win the war by grinding your owm flour with a 
FEED MILL 
iSeifSharpentn^ Silent-Puh^ 
The Letz will grind the finest kind of flour —at one grinding. Screening or 
bolting is not necessary. You have your own grain or can buy it cheaply. By 
doing your own grinding you get any kind of flour at a big saving. Use a 
Letz Mill for grinding whole wheat flour—rye—buckwheat—cormeal—rice 
—any kind of cereal. 
Letz silent-running, self-sharpening plates grind fast and clean—grind any kind 
of grain, wet, dry or oily. They the grain. They make no noise. These plates 
will grind a fine flour in one operation without any possible danger of injuring the 
plates, as you cannot injure Letz plates by letting them run together empty, but, 
to the contrary, running Letz plates together empty sharpens them. 
Leaders for 27 ‘Years 
For the past 27 years Letz Grinders have been recognized the world over as 
the leading grinders after which competition 
tries to model. Letz Grinders have been im¬ 
proved each and every year by highly trained 
mechanics who devote their entire efforts to¬ 
ward making the Letz Grinder 100% efficient 
—that’s why the Letz Grinder

I F 5*ou could just take the old cleaver 
and chop that barn work right in 
two—especially these days when the 
demand for greater production is so 
insistent and the labor situation such 
a problem! 
Well, it can be done. And JAMES Etjuipment 
is the “cleaver” that will do it. 
No Investment the dairyman can make will 
bring the returns—in actual, visible profit— 
that good barn equipment brings. And why not 
make it a JAMES barn while you are at it? 
The Labor-Saving Carrier. If yon still push the 
old wheelbarrow through the barn and barn¬ 
yard, cut the work in half by discarding it and 
installing a labor-saving JAMES Carrier out¬ 
fit—rod or I-beam track or combination. 
Milk-Making Drinking Cups. And if you want 
to see your milk checks jump away above 
what they are now, put in JAMES Drinking

one season out of the increased milk yield.
