Countrywide Produce Situation 
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN FOTATO AND ONION 
OUTLOOK—WESTERN PEACHES 
MOVING ACTIVELY 
Potatoes, apples and onions, all are in¬ 
teresting this month. Potatoes, after 
reaching fairly low levels, have shown a 
tendency to recover lately. Virginia is 
nearly done, and the immediate situation 
depends on the intermediate Western crop 
from New Jersey to Kansas, including, of 
course, the early shipments from the 
North and Northwest. 
NORTH MAY HAVE LARGE POTATO CROP 
The significant feature is the fact that 
the shortage, compared with last year, 
tends to disappear as the season ad¬ 
vances north and west. Shipments from 
Florida, Louisiana and Texas were far 
below those of last year, and the falling 
away continued until Virginia was 
reached, the shipments from that State 
exceeding those of last year’s short crop. 
New Jersey, Missouri, Kansas and Ken¬ 
tucky are far ahead of last season. The 
crop of last year was nearly a failure in 
the South Central States, which makes 
this season’s movement seem heavy in com¬ 
parison, but the conditions from Virginia 
northward suggest that producers took 
advantage of the early news of Southern 
shortage and planted a few more potatoes. 
At any rate, the northern potato area is 
now much closer than the southern to last 
year’s acreage. In other words, the early 
potato shortage of about 10.000 cars, or 
nearly 25 per cent, is likely to he made up 
gradually if the Northern and Western 
crops pan out according to early indica¬ 
tions^ There is a great deal of drought in 
the Far West, and too much wet, muggy, 
blighty weather in parts of the East, but 
at last accounts the outlook of the late 
crop for yield per acre was equal to last 
year. 
Assuming the crop to be nearly as large 
this year, the interesting question is 
whether the general price inflation now 
prevailing will keep values higher than 
last year. In the case of the best Virginia 
Irish Cobblers, a representative crop 
among the early shipments because of its 
volume and long season, the range started 
in June at $4.50 to $0.50 per bbl. in city 
markets, dropping gradually to average 
about $6 in July and recovering in early 
August to a general range of $<> to $8. 
Last year the early range was $3.50 to $5. 
the high point. $5.50 to $7; in 1017.' a 
year of famous potato shortage, the early 
price exceeded $10. hot values dropped to 
$4 before the end of the season. In 1910 
this stock sold below $3 per bbl., and 
never exceeded $5. In general the earlv 
Southern crops have sold much higher 
than in former years, except in 1017, and 
at times have exceeded even that year. 
The early Northern crop is starting out 
well; New Jersey Irish Cobblers are 50 
to 75e higher in New York per 100 lbs. 
than in early August last year. In gen¬ 
eral. the range of stock from all section 
is fully that much higher than it was a 
year ago. 
WILL ONIONS STAY HIGH? 
Onions are interesting because of the 
increasing possibility of fairly high prices. 
Early shortage in acreage has been in¬ 
creased, according to later reports, and 
yield was impaired by drought and in¬ 
sects.. Important Middle Western sections 
promise not over half a crop. The gen¬ 
eral crop will do much better than that, 
but there is little prospect of another big 
yield like that of last year. The outlook 
in general is good in the East, but poor in 
the West. Prices continue high, although 
declining considerably of late. New stock 
still reaches $4 per 100 lbs. in Eastern 
markets, which is about tin* same as a 
year ago, but shipments at present are 
much heavier than last year at this time. 
Movement of the crop now is no special 
indication of its volume in the Fall. In 
fact, one reason why Middle Western sec¬ 
tions are shipping freely now is because 
drought caused early maturity of the crop 
before reaching anywhere near full size 
and yield. 
THE WEST SHIPPING PEACHES 
Peaches are coining in unexpected vol¬ 
ume from California and Arkansas. Last 
year most of the California fruit was 
dried and canned. This year it looks as if 
more of it is to be shipped fresh. Peach 
prices are a little below last year, rang¬ 
ing from $2 to $4 per bu. in city markets, 
hut the heavy shipments of Western stock 
are weakening the. situation, and the 
Northeastern crop is heavy enough in 
itself to keep prices down considerably. 
MONEY FROM MELONS 
Southern farmers are interested in wa¬ 
termelons. which recently exceeded vol¬ 
ume of shipment of every other crop for a 
week, including potatoes. Prices fell 
rather low in producing sections, at. one 
time reaching $100 per car. which would 
equal about 10c per melon, allowing 1,000 
good-sized melons to the car. hut the crop, 
although much larger than last year’s, is 
not especially large, compared with that 
of recent seasons, and values have tended 
to recover lately. The abundance of West¬ 
ern cantaloupes tends to limit the sale of 
watermelons. California growers received 
unheard of totals for the cantaloupe crop, 
even though prices went rather low at 
times. G. B. F.
