however, prices remain without .special 
change. Sound onions are Iiigher. Old 
cabbage of good quality is .'fo to $10 per 
ton higher.

Countrywide Produce Situation 
POTATOES DOING BETTER. 
Shipments have been coming forward 
a little faster in I’esponse to better de¬ 
mand and slightly more attractive prices. 
Growers had about given up hope and 
preferred to start Spring work rather 
than haul potatoes through the mud to 
an uncertain market. Carlot movements 
the past few weeks have averaged not 
much greater than at this time last year. 
The public is not using potatoes any¬ 
where nearly fast enough in view of their 
abundance and the scarcity of wheat flour. 
Retail prices arc down to about two 
cents a pound. Rut restaurants and 
hotels have not been .serving potatoes at 
all liberally since last year’s scarcity. 
Growers in principal Eastern shipping 
sections are getting 90 cents to $1.25 
per hundredweight, bulk, now, compared 
with 50 cents two weeks ago. Western 
growers get 50 to 75 cents, sacks being 
included at many points. A great deal 
of ungraded bulk stock is being .sold for 
feeding, for starch making and for dry¬ 
ing at 20 to 75 cents in the West and 40 
to 90 cents in the East. The consuming 
markets in the Central States quote car- 
lots a little higher than of late at $1 to 
$1.25 per hundredweight, and smaller lots 
at .$1.25 to $1.75, and Eastern markets 
$1.25 to .$2.25, the top price being for 
ilaine. Green Mountains, New York and 
Boston. Eastern held up longer and re¬ 
covered sooner than Western. The re¬ 
maining stock is still large in some sec- 
tioms, mostly Western, but much of it 
may never come to market. New potatoes 
will be coming faster from now on. 
ONIONS ALSO ADVANCE. 
Texas onions came along much more 
slowly than anticipated. Growers did 
not like the looks of the market and have 
let the crop stay in the ground. Some 
of the crop is late, anyhow, and some is 
hardly hurt by drought and thrips. 
Northern shippers were discouraged also 
by the recent market conditions. The 
result was a rather light supply of onions 
in some of the consuming markets and 
shar)i_ advance in price, the quotations 
reaching $2 per hundredweight in a few 
cities, jvhile the general range is 75 cents 
to $1.50. Good ’flexas stock wholesaled 
generally at $1.75 per crate or about .^3 
per hundredweight. 
SOUTHERN TRUCK ABUNDANT. 
Apart from onions and potatoes the 
market is interested chiefly in Southern 
produce. Florida, Louisiana, Texas and 
South Carolina are the leading shipper.s, 
w’ith about 700 cars of cabbage, ,300 cars 
of tomatoes, 1.50 cars of strawberries and 
1.50 cars of new potatoes a week. The 
spinach movement, mostly from Virginia, 
was nearly .300 cars la.st week. Prices 
!ire holding well on most Northern stuff, 
but are mostly not so high as those of 
last Spring. G. B. P. 
_ We are having fine weather for this 
time of year; lots of plomng done, some 
oats sowed and potatoes planted. There 
are a good many auction sales. Oats 
bring $1.50 per bu.; seed corn, .$7 to .$10 
P®r bu.; potatoe.s, .$1 per bu.; maple 
syrup, $2 per gallon. It was a good sea¬ 
son for making. Registered heifers sell¬ 
ing at $147 per head ; .sheep. $18 to $20 
per head; hay, from .$20 to .$.30 per ton. 
There is a cut in milk price from $3.40 
to $2.70 per 100 lbs. 3..5 test f. o. b. re¬

DAIRY FEED 
Naterially Increases Summer Milk Yield 
There is no question among experienced dairymen that, to maintain good 
cows at maximum, or even ordinary milk production, they must be fed according 
to their needs all the year round, and that pasture alone does not supply the need. 
Cows on pasture alone go down rapidly when the drought comes and do not 
recover the next freshening. Even when the grass is greenest, cows fed 
Sucrene Dairy Feed show a big increase in milk yield, all through the summer, 
and in case of drought it carries them through in fine bodily vigor and with a 
persistent milk flow which more than pays for the extra feed.
