Buffalo Markets 
The situation still turns on the big 1 
freeze of March 27-April 2. when the tern- j 
perature was hardly above 32 degrees, and 
went to 11 one night, breaking the record 
at the low point. It followed a record- 
breaking^ high point of 70 degrees on 
March 26. These extremes never followed 
so closely on each other as this before, 
and it is a matter of wonder that every¬ 
thing was not frozen to death, as all veg¬ 
etation was entirely exposed. Still, noth¬ 
ing appears to have suffered. It was 
merely put back a fortnight, as it should 
be. The point to be remembered is that 
when vegetation gets hardened to freezing 
it will stand practically anything. Let it 
lie all Winter under deep snow and it is 
killed easily. 
The produce markets are active and 
mostly strong, though the advance of the 
season_ is shown by strawberries easier at 
40 to 50c per qt. Butter has resumed its 
top figure, and potatoes are stronger. A 
large supply of vegetables weakened them 
slightly. Cabbage is a little higher, after 
a long low period. Winter squash was 
never so low. Potatoes are 60e to $1.30 
per bu .for small to fancy: apples, $1.50 
to $11 per bbl. for Baldwins. Kings. Spys 
and Greenings, and $2 to $2.50 per bu. fol¬ 
low grades; onions easy at $1 to $3.50 
per bu.; beans dull at $4.50 'to $6.60 
per bu. . 
Vegetables are plentier at $6 to $8 for 
asparagus. $5.50 to $6 for Florida celery. 
$1.75 to $2.25 for cauliflower. $2.50 to $5 
for tomatoes, all per orate; $8 to $9 for 
beans, per hamper; 75 to S5c for new 
beets, 50 to 75c for new carrots, 30 to 35c 
for radishes, 25 to 30c for shallots. 35 
to 45c for watercress, all per doz. 
bunches; 90c to $1.30 for old carrots. $1 
to $1.50 for parsnips, 90c to $1.25 for 
white turnips, all per bu.; $3 to $5 for 
cabbage, $1.50 to $2 for squash, per 100 
Ibs.j $3 to _$4 for cucumbers, per doz.; 
$1.50 to $1.75 per 2-doz. box for lettuce ; 
25 to 35c for parsley, per bunch ; 90c to 
$1.10 for pieplant, per 6-lb. bunch ; $3.75 
to $4 for California box, same. 
Butter is firm at 64 to 70c for cream¬ 
ery. 54 to 62c for dairy, 52 to 60c for 
crocks. 45 to 47c for low grade, and 28 to 
34c for oleomargarine. Cheese is steady 
at 30 to 35c for best domestic and 33 to 
36e for limburger. Eggs firm under large 
receipts at 43 to 47c for candled to hen¬ 
nery. No storage offered. 
Poultry was strong under light receipts, 
especially live, at 38 to 47c for dressed 
turkey, 32 to 3Sc for fowl, 36 to 46c for 
capons. 27 to 2Sc for old roosters, 35 to 
40c for live ducks, 20 to 25c for live geese. 
Rabbits are weak and going out at 25 to 
35c for cottontails, 50 to 75c for jacks, 
per paii*. Maple sugar is higher at $1.75 
to $2 for syrup, per gal.; 23 to 2Sc for 
sugar, per lb. Honey is 33 to 36c. for 
extract, per lb. j. \v. c. 
How to grow crops that 
fatten your pocket-book 
At the present cost of seed you want a 
yield that will pay you well. An investment 
in Planet Jr. tools is good-crop insurance. 
They enable you to cultivate so thoroughly 
that you get bigger and better crops. And 
they operate so rapidly and easily that you 
save both time and labor. Their substantial 
construction makes them last a lifetime and 
pay for themselves over and over again. 
They are savers at every stage of the sowing 
and cultivation—just what every farmer and 
gardener needs! Fully guaranteed.

are more of 
them in use 
throughout the world than any other seeder made. Opens the 
furrow, sows all garden seeds (in hills or drills), covers, rolls 
down and marks the next row all at one operation. Hoes, 
plows, and cultivates all through the season. A hand machine 
that will pay for itself in time, labor and seed saved in a single 
season. 
No. 8 Planet Jr. Horse-Hoe does a greater variety of 
work in corn, potatoes, and other crops requiring similar 
cultivation, and does it more thoroughly than any other 
one-horse cultivator made. It is stronger, better made 
and finished. Lasts longer. Its depth regulator and 
extra long frame make it steady-running. Cultivates 
deep or shallow and different widths of rows.
