Countrywide Produce Situation 
CARLOT MOVEMENT MODERATE BUT NEARBY 
fiJTOCK INCREASING AND PRICES WEAKER 
Distant shipments are less in volume 
than in early Spring, but the actual sup¬ 
plies in many lines are greater, owing to 
the homegrown produce teamed and 
trucked into the markets as the season 
advances. Prices have been coming down 
slowly this month, but the level is still 
above that of last season. Carlots of new 
onions, potatoes and cabbage are moving 
Northward, but volume is far below last 
year. The strawberry shipping territory 
is extending to Northern Virginia, Ten¬ 
nessee and Arkansas. Various lines from 
the Norfolk section are becoming prom¬ 
inent in Eastern markets. Active Texas 
trucking season is about over, but Louis¬ 
iana, Alabama and Missouri are tilling 
Western markets. 
THE REACTION IN POTATO MARKETS 
Prices of potatoes sagged off consider¬ 
ably after the rapid gains in May. Un¬ 
derlying conditions are strong, owing to 
rapidly decreasing supplies of old stock 
and light, new crop, and the only evident 
reason for the extent of the decline lies in 
the usual disposition of buyers to take as 
little as possible until they feel that the 
market has reached bottom. The old crop 
has moved out wonderfully well, including 
a lot of poor stuff that would not have 
paid freight charges under conditions pre¬ 
vailing last year. The old and new crops 
fitted together well, the supply being kept 
up without any bad break in prices. Old 
potatoes range mostly $2 to $2.50 per 100 
lbs. in city markets for large lots, and 
new stock averages about $S per bbl. in 
the East and a little more in the West. 
It looks as if the early Northern crop 
would meet a market supplied only moder¬ 
ately from the South, acreage and crop 
both being light in that section. 
FIRM, ACTIVE, ONION MARKETS 
A few scattering cars of old onions are 
still moving, but not much firm, sound 
stock is loft in the markets. Some of it 
exceeded $7 per 100 lbs. in New York, and 
the range for fairly good old onions in 
large centers is $4 to $5. Texas and Cal¬ 
ifornia growers are getting $2.50 to $3 
per crate for good new yellow stock in 
producing sections, which means good 
profits despite very high costs. The acre¬ 
age in the North is still a problem with 
indicated decrease. The payroll of one 
onion town in Upper Connecticut 1 alley 
i^ reported over $450,000, including one 
man who paid out $65,000 for help, in¬ 
cluding sorting of some smaller local 
crops which he bought. 
CABBAGE PRICES SAGGING OFF 
Increasing supplies of new cabbage, 
much of it soft, small and poor, have 
forced lower prices, but growers are still 
getting over $3 per bbl. at stations for 
reasonably good stock. Usually whenever 
the early crop sells fairly high the main 
Northern crop also brings good values, 
biit nobody can guess the Northern acre¬ 
age yet because it is planted later than 
other leading truck crops, and yield is al- 
ways uncertain, although late cabbage can 
stand anything except drought. 
ANOTHER SEASON OF HIGH-PRICED BERRIES 
Strawberries are bringing prices fully 
as high as last season and far in excess of 
preceding season. From 15 to 30c has 
beep the general wholesale range for good 
fruit. Early cherries should do well, for 
there is no cooking fruit in the market 
and sugar can be had this season. First 
car of California cherries started May 15. 
There will be plenty of peaches, both 
South and North, if these persistent cold 
spells do not spoil early promise.

Lackawanna County (Pa.) Dairymen’s 
Improvement Association 
An advance step in dairying was made 
in this county when 25 dairymen through 
the efforts of the Farm Bureau organized 
the Lackawanna Co. Dairymen’s Improve¬ 
ment Association. The work of this as¬ 
sociation is chiefly along two lines, in¬ 
creasing milk production and decreasing 
food costs. This is accomplished by keep¬ 
ing records of each cow’s milk and butter- 
fat production and its value, keeping a 
record of the amount of feed consumed 
and its value, keeping a record of labor 
required, locating robber cows, suggesting 
improved feeding methods, balancing feed 
rations, selecting new sires and new foun¬ 
dation cows. The records of .350 cows 
are kept in this association. During the 
month of April 14 cows produced more 
than 40 lbs. of butterfat, or 1,200 lbs. of 
milk. With the exception of two. every 
member in the association has a silo. A 
marked improvement in the herds is no¬ 
ticed where purebred sires have been used 
for the past several years.
