Countrywide Produce Situation 
POTATO CHOP APPROACHING AVERAGE— 
CABBAGE AND ONIONS GOING FAST— 
APPLE PRICES HOLD—DECLINES IN 
FEEDS. LIVE STOCK AND COTTON 
—SEED CROPS IRREGULAR 
The potato shortage is slowly fading away 
under reports of late improvement in yield of 
Northern and Western sections. It would not 
be surprising if final estimates show fairly close 
to an average crop. Even so, the supply has 
been drawn upon so heavily in the early ship¬ 
ments that there is every reason to expect a 
steady or rising market in Winter and Spring. 
Prevailing prices of $1 to $1.75 per 100 lbs. at 
country shipping points throughout the producing 
regions do not look higli compared with war¬ 
time figures, but compare very well with those 
of last season.. Probably there is no need to 
push the stock into the present weak markets. 
If new shipments can be kept down to not much 
more than 3.000 cars per week the commercial 
surplus ought to go easily at fair prices and 
possibly enough above the lowest to pay well 
for storage and heater car service. 
Holders of sweet potatoes are not putting up 
so many new storage houses this season. The 
low prices last Spring and this Fall discouraged 
some of them. Most likely it will be a sweeter 
story for them next Spring. 
_Cabbage at $40 to $00 per ton and onions at 
$5 to $0 per 100 lbs. show crop shortage mar¬ 
kets. Supplies are mostly from commercial 
storage. Onion imports are decreasing, and 
cleaning up and the general outlook seems good 
for holders. 
APPLE PRICES FIRM 
Apple prices show a firm tendency, with 
choice Baldwins at $6 to $7.50 per barrel, but 
Ihe apples themselves are softening early, and 
the season will shift to cold storage apples 
earlier than usual. Maine is fortunate with a 
great crop of long-keeping apples, which to¬ 
gether with her tremendous potato crop, besides 
plenty of hay and grain, should place the 
farmers of that State firmly on their financial 
feet again. Scarcely another Eastern State has 
done as well in so many staple crops this 
season. 
At the Imperial Fruit Show in London the 
competition between apples from Canada and 
the United Kingdom resulted in a tie of the 
Roard of Judges, 3 to 3, but the referee gave 
the award to the homegrown apples on the basis 
of quality. The controversy seems much like 
that between our Western boxed apples and the 
Eastern fruit. Canada, like the Northwest 
States, has been forced to grow and pack in the 
best way in order to overcome the handicap of 
remoteness from principal markets. The fruit 
brought in from a distance excels in appear¬ 
ance, but the nearby stock surpasses in quality. 
Nevertheless the English markets do not agree 
with the judges. While the experts were de¬ 
liberating the matter the public was paying 25 
to 50 per cent more for Canada apples than for 
the British product. The conclusion drawn was 
that the home growers should raise fewer varie¬ 
ties and pay more attention to packing and 
quality. England has a climate too moist for 
the highest finish on fruit, but the advantages 
in obtaining supplies and getting the crop to the 
market should enable the best growers to hold 
their own and more. The same is true for the 
Eastern apple sections of the United States. 
WATCHING THE FEED MARKETS 
Users of concentrated feeds mav watch the 
markets with profit. The better outlook for the 
cotton crop has lowered the wholesale price of 
cottonseed a little, while linseed has been tend¬ 
ing slightly upward. The two meals are close 
together in average prices, but there is con¬ 
siderable difference between the various city 
markets, and in some cases there would be a 
saving of $2 to $4 per ton in shifting from lin¬ 
seed to cottonseed, or the reverse. Corn feeds, 
including gluten, ranged $10 to $15 below cot¬ 
tonseed meal and would seem good value at the 
price. Bran also appears reasonable at $20 to 
$40. Country grain dealers are often slow in 
following the big carload markets, and of course 
add quite a margin to such prices. There is 
good demand for beet pulp, which is quoted at 
$18.50 in Chicago and $2G in New York and 
Boston. If grain markets continue to recover, 
feed prices will soon follow. 
VEAL SUPPLY LIBERAL 
Heavy shipments of veal calves to the large 
centers caused a slump of $1 or $2 in most mar¬ 
kets. General cuts in milk prices seem to have 
encouraged the business of calf feeding. Live 
hogs, under heavy supply, fell below $0 per 100 
lbs. in Chicago, the lowest prices in five vears, 
and less than half the value a year ago. Cattle 
prices also tended downward during the past 
week or two. but lambs averaged about. $1 
higher in leading markets. 
Cotton has dropped 4 or 5c per lb, from its 
rise in early Autumn markets, owing to pros¬ 
pects of the crop ginning out better than antici¬ 
pated. Planters in the South are paying up 
their bills and there is a decidedly better tone 
in letters from that section. 
SOME SEED CROPS LIGHT 
The seed catalogue season will soon be here. 
Production of garden beans, peas and sweet corn 
is reported only about half the average, but 
most garden seeds are in ample supplv. espe¬ 
cially cantaloupes and melons. The decrease in 
some lines probably is the result of light de¬ 
mand for canning crops last season, but the 
seedsmen apparently look for heavy planting of 
crops of the melon class, which sold well last 
season, also for eabhage. of which ttic South is 
starting a big early crop. G R. F.

send me u good reomoV 
New York. 
Sausage making 
of taste that there 
can be called best of all. 
light seasoned, with only 
pepper. Others like sage, red pepper and 
a little spice, like mace, cloves or nutmeg. 
I he best plan in starting is to season 
moderately with salt and black pepper, 
find vary it according to the wishes of 
the customers. It is a common thing to 
hear people say: “1 don’t like so and 
sos sausage, because it is too high sea¬ 
soned, or the criticism may he the oppo¬ 
site, so they go elsewhere. It is a good 
plan to ask customers how they like it, 
and not difficult to make several grades 
of seasoning. Buyers like to have their 
taste consulted in such matters. 
A good rule to start with is from two 
to,three parts of lean to one of far meat, 
being careful that bones and gristle are 
removed. Cut into narrow strips, and for 
25 lbs. of meat use */_> lb. salt, two ounces 
black pepper. If desired an ounce of 
powdered sage and a teaspoonful of red 
pepper may be added. This seasoning is 
sprinkled on the meat before grinding. 
I his makes real meat sausage. There is a 
large amount sold with considerable bread 
crumbs or cereal as a filler, and as much 
water as can be worked in. The water is a 
swindle, hut some people like the cereal 
mixture, thinking it more digestible. Of 
course the maker can cater to his custo¬ 
mers. tastes in this respect, but he should 
sell it for just what it is—a mixture of 
cereal and meat—and at a proportionate 
reduction.
