Government Crop Report 
BEANS. 
The dry bean crop of the six principal 
States, New York, Michigan, Colorado. 
Mexico, Arizona and California, was 
17,733.000 bushels. Commercial stocks ou 
hand .Tan. 1. as reported to Bureau of 
Markets, were 7.571.385 bushels, com¬ 
pared with 4.376,224 a year ago. 
Beans started the season considerably 
below the price level of the year before 
and markets have continued weak. 
Sacked, recleaned white stock has sold to 
rhe jobbing trade in consuming markets 
at a range of $9 to $10 per cwt.. com¬ 
pared with $13.50 to $15.50 last season. 
Prices paid to growers for bulk white 
stock have ranged from $6 to $8 per cwt.. 
compared with $12 to $14 the season be¬ 
fore. and Western Pintos in bulk have av¬ 
eraged about $1 to $2 lower this season, 
or $5 to $7.25 to growers, compared with 
$6 to $8 the season before. Prices to 
growers in Michigan have ranged higher 
than iu the New York bean section this 
season owing largely to weather condition 
during harvest. Prices in all producing 
sections are now $1.50 to $2 below this 
season’s early levels and somewhat small¬ 
er declines have occurred in the jobbing 
markets. Sacked, recleaned white stock 
in leading markets ranges from $9 to $10 
per cwt.. compared with early prices of 
$10.25 to $11.25. Last season sales of 
this stock to jobbers ranged mostly at 
$13 to $15. Limas and Pintos are selling 
about $1 below the high point of the sea¬ 
son. 
POTATOES. 
The crop in the 13 principal States. 
Maine, New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio, 
Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota. North 
Dakota, Nebraska, Montana. Colorado, 
Oregon and Washington, was 338.027 car¬ 
loads of 700 bushels each. The quantity 
remaining in growers’ hands Jan. 1 was 
138.896 cars. 
After tlie usual declines from opening 
prices, the fluctuations have not been ex¬ 
treme. The high and low prices of the 
season for jobbing sales in all sections 
were only 50c to 75c apart. Low points 
were reached iu December with a jobbing 
range of $1.60 to $2.35 for No. 1 sacked 
white stock, and high points during the 
January rise to $2.25 to $2.75. Last sea¬ 
son’s top was reached in October at $2.50 
to 83. and declines proceeded slowly until 
low point was reached in March at $1.25 
to $1.75. Present average prices are not 
far from those of a year ago iu most parts 
of the country.

“They occupy valuable land, foster growth of 
weeds, reduce the selling price of a farm, shelter 
pests and prevent the efficient use of modem 
machinery. Blasting is a means of rapid 
clearing,” says U. S. Farmers’ Bulletin 974, 
August 1918. 
Clear your land with Atlas Farm Powder—The 
Original Farm Powder. It is safe, economical, 
efficient and made especially for stump blasting, 
tree-bed blasting, subsoiling, etc. 
“This morning,” writes Victor M. Shaw, 
Cranbury, N.J., “I tried my hand at blasting 
stumps for the first time. I had no trouble 
removing the stumps with Atlas Farm Powder 
after seeing just how to do it in the book 
‘Better Farming with Atlas Farm Powder.’ ” 
The coupon (or a postal mentioning this 
paper) will bring the 120-page book “Better 
Farming,” which Mr. Shaw found so helpful.
