Countrywide Produce Situation 
ACTIVE SEASON OF PRODUCE SHIPMENTS— 
POTATOES DECLINE UNDER HEAVY 
SUPPLY—LIGHT OFFERING OF CAR- 
RAGE AND ONIONS 
Although it is considered n season of light 
crops, shipments have been heavy throughout. 
One reason is that many Southern truck crops 
were large; another is the early maturity of 
Northern crops. Thus far the total of fruits 
and vegetables is fully 80,000 cars ahead of 
last season. 
IF THE STRIKE TAKES PEACE 
Tills quick marketing of' the crops would be 
fortunate for the farmer in case of a strike of 
railway employees. A railroad tieup in Novem¬ 
ber would hmt the farmer but little compared 
with such an interruption of shipments earlier 
in the season. Most of the quickly perishable 
stuff will have gone to market by the end of 
October. Other produce could he held a month 
or more in cool weather without much loss even 
if no way could be found to get i( to market 
without the help of the railroads. Probably the 
milk trains will be kept running. No doubt the 
needs of the cities would result in great efforts 
to maintain supplies.of all kinds. Farmers liv¬ 
ing near large markets would naturally sell more 
than usual at such a time. Large cities at this 
season have stored supplies of many food mate¬ 
rials, including potatoes, apples, eggs, butter, 
fish and meats. Probably the most severe hard¬ 
ship in cities would be the shortage of coal. 
Farmers are inlying quite freely at this time 
of year, but most of' them could worry along 
awhile if shut off from the markets. There is 
food in the cellar, and the cows and liens sire 
providing more. There is plenty of wood in the 
farm woodlot. About one farmer in three lias a 
motor car, which would help things out while 
the roads remain open. A strike would at least 
unsettle the prices of farm produce; unfavorably 
in the sections remote from markets, but favor¬ 
ably to producers in tjie thickly settled regions. 
The mere possibility of a strike already affects 
the markets for grain and other staples. Sup¬ 
plies have been moving so actively this Fall 
that large stocks of the perishable lines are in 
reserve. 
SHIPPING POTATOES TOO FAST 
( ’ The movement of potatoes in September and 
October has exceeded all records. Those who 
have traveled in the Northern potato belt say 
the farmers are selling fast, because many of 
them need the money. Potatoes, they assert, 
nre the only crop raised this season that can be 
sold promptly for cash enough to cover expenses 
and more. There is a good crop in the Far 
West and in some parts of the North. Sections 
like North and South Dakota, usually slipping 
all Winter and Spring, have been cleaning up 
the crop in a few weeks. Idaho, Colorado and 
Maine have been rushing the potato movement. 
“Where have all of these potatoes gone?” has 
been asked. The supply has been from two to 
three times the requirements for consumption 
for many weeks past. Some have been stored 
by dealers, who expect higher prices. One 
prominent concern predicts $4 per 100 lbs. at 
shipping points by January. But it is believed 
that the greater part of the stock shipped has 
gone into private storage. The crop in the corn 
belt was small, and even the little towns in 
the Central West have been buying carlots. 
The potatoes matured early and were suitable 
for safe shipment and storage. They were 
mostly free from rot, although in many localities 
often somewhat rough and scabby. They were 
frequently undersized in the prairie States and 
overgrown in Northern Maine, but on the whole 
fairly suitable and available for storage earner 
than - usual. The potato markets are probably 
now in the worst condition of the season. Sup¬ 
plies have piled up in most centers: pr'ces at 
shipping points range from $1 per 100 lbs. in 
the Far West to nearly $2 in the Middle Atlantic 
States. City wholesale prices ranged generally 
from $1.75 to $2..10 the third week of October. 
Prices on the whole held up fairly well under 
such conditions, and New York City actually 
advanced. 
ONIONS SCARCE AND HIGH 
The feature of the market was the jump in 
onions to an average of about $5.25, nearly four 
times the prevailing prices a year ago. Some 
cities quoted $0. Supplies of good-sized onions 
are light; Spanish onions are coming in fast, 
but do not compete very seriously, because they 
appeal to a somewhat special class of trade. 
Cabbage prices, too. behave as if the supply 
was limited. The short-keeping stock is out of 
the way earlier than usual. Solid late-keeping 
kinds will fill the cabbage market through a 
long season. This class of stock brings about 
$30 per ton East and West. It looks as if most 
vegetables, as well ns other fruits, will sell a 
good deal higher than they did last Winter.

BOXED AND BARRELED ADDLES 
The most striking 'eature of the apple situa¬ 
tion this season is the change in relative posi¬ 
tions of Western and Eastern apples. Standard 
Eastern Winter kinds are selling $2 to $3 per 
barrel higher than last season, while Western 
boxed fruit is 25 to 50 cents per bushel lower 
than a year ago. Dresent prices per bushel nre 
nb-ut the same for the two classes. For the 
general purpose kinds, such as Baldwins. Rome 
or Gnnos. range $2 to $3 in city markets. 
Growers in the West seem to lie getting fully 
as much as those In the Northeast, allowing 
for differences in grade and pack. 
SPRAYING FROM AIRSHIPS 
Everybody lias noticed how much worse the 
fruit worms are in a season of short crops. 
Sometimes it may be due to neglect, but Wash¬ 
ington scientists say that tile real reason is 
that the big crop of the preceding season de¬ 
velops a large carry over of “bug seed,” which 
on the following season must crowd itself into 
the smaller crop to find a home and a living. 
Tims the bug tenements become over populated 
Whoever has tried to spray the toil of a 30-ft. 
fruit tree in one of the aged orchards of the 
East must have longed f ir an airship. Last 
week somebody in Miami County. Ohio, tried it 
out. They sprayed a six acre grove of Catalpas 
30 ft. high in G4 seconds, killing 99 per cent 
of the caterpillars, according to the report.
