Countrywide Produce Situation 
MANY LINES IN STRONGER MARKET I'OSI 
XION AND MOST PRICE CHANGES SLANT 
UPWARD—HIGH COMPARED WITH 
A YEAR AGO 
Live stock prices have been affected somewhat 
by the strikes in the packing concerns. The 
trend has been upward in December. Hogs 
gained 20 to 25c per 100 lbs., steers 25c. lambs 
25 to 35c, and meats also advanced quite 
sharply. Grain prices in Western market cen¬ 
ters are well above the lowest, with wheat 
about $1.20 per bu., corn 50c, oats 34c. Cotton 
holds about 17 to 18c. at 3 to 4c below highest. 
Hay has declined slightly on account of poor 
demand. Choice Timothy ranges $21 to $2< 
West and East. Feed prices show little change, 
with middlings and bran in Chicago around $20 
per ton. Linseed $41,‘hominy feed $27. Dairy 
produce shows a firm tone under lessening sup¬ 
plies. with butter 45 to 47c, and cheese 19% 
to 21c. 
STRONGER MARKET TONE 
Present tendency of prices in fruits and vege¬ 
tables is rather up than down. The recent 
light shipments are beginning to tell. Apples 
are firm at $0 to $8 per barrel for best grades 
of Baldwins, and Western apples $2.50 to $3 
per box. Potatoes are $1.50 to $2.15 per 100 
lbs. in the cities. Prices at shipping points are 
10 to 25c above the season’s lowest. Onions 
are steady at $5 to $0. Cabbage at $40 to $50, 
country shipping points show a big gain from 
the low price of $25 to $30. in late October. 
Sweet potatoes are $4 per barrel now: they sold 
for $2 to $3.50 at the lowest. The market 
showing for fruits and vegetables is not so bad 
for a year of hard times for farmers in gen¬ 
eral. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are fully as 
high as last year, which is not saying very 
much, but cabbage and onions at $50 per ton 
and $5.50 per 100 lbs., respectively, appear high 
enough when compared with prices a year ago. 
with cabbage at $10 to $15 and onions $1 to 
$1.50. Barreled apples are one-third to one- 
half higher than last season. Cranberries have 
brought unheard-of prices, touching $30 per 
barrel in some markets. Grapes have paid un¬ 
commonly well, and berries sold high in their 
season. The light yield is the evident draw¬ 
back. but in these times of high freights the 
farmer is beginning to regard bumper crops 
with some anxiety. 
FARMERS HEAVY CONSUMERS 
The census shows that 58 per cent, or rather 
more than half, of the 1919 potato crop was 
sold. Evidently about 43 per cent, or 120.000.000 
bushels, was used on the farm for food, includ¬ 
ing whatever was used for seed, fed to cattle 
or lost by rot, shrinkage or freezing. Allowing 
10 per cent for seed and 20 per cent more for 
shrinkage, cattle feeding and decay, it appears 
that 70 per cent of the unsold stock, or 84.- 
000.000 bushels, were consumed by perhaps 
15.000,000 people living on about 3.000.000 
farms on which potatoes were reported raised. 
This average of five or six bushels eaten on 
the farm is rather larger than the average 
countrywide consumption of potatoes, which is 
not above four bushels per inhabitant yearly. 
Farm families would be expected to consume 
potatoes more freely, since there is no other 
kind of vegetable available in sufficient quan¬ 
tities during Spring and early Summer, while 
city families, being obliged to buy all their 
vegetables, naturally consume a greater variety 
with smaller proportion of potatoes. The census 
figures show that apparently four out of five 
farmers who raise potatoes do not raise them 
for market, but only for home use, hence the 
actual commercial potato crop is raised on far 
less than 1,000 farms. 
Nearly tliree-fou-rths of the apples raised in 
1919 were sold, according to the census report. 
On this basis about 38.000,000 bushels were 
used on the farms, or about 13 bushels per 
family, on the 2.888.000 farms on which apples 
were reported raised. Of course some of the 
apples were lost by decay or were sorted out 
for .cattle feed. Evidently both apples and 
potatoes were used liberally on the farms that 
produced them. 
CANADIAN POTATO CROP 
The Canadian potato crop of 133.831.400 
bushels is over one-third of the crop in the 
United States, which was estimated in Novem¬ 
ber at 357,000.000 bushels. Canadian farm 
prices average 77c per bushel, compared with 
97c, the average farm price a year ago. Farm 
prices in Prince Edward Island were reported 
as low as 40c, and ruled 70c in New Brunswick. 
Both provinces often ship quite heavily to the 
United States. The prices are lower this year 
in all the provinces, except Ontario, where the 
crop was light, and in New Brunswick. The 
prices in Canadian cities have tended downward, 
and toward the end of November ruled $1.45 to 
$1.50 per bushel in Montreal and Toronto. 
Offerings of American apples in English mar¬ 
kets appear to be practically all Northwestern 
stock. Prices are not over two-thirds as high 
ns those prevailing a year ago. Buying has 
been restricted on account of the prevalent 
unemployment. G. B. F.

Winter Churning 
I never have any trouble in getting 
butter in from 15 minutes to half an hour, 
and very seldom have bitter cream. I 
have one cow, and churn twice a week. 
If churned once a week the cream be¬ 
comes strong, and you cannot make good 
butter from strong cream. When I get 
my stone crock half full of cream I set 
it by the stove in the morning, and stir 
it several times through the day, and by 
night the cream, is thick. It must not_be 
kept where it will get hot. Next morning 
I stir it and leave it until it gets a little 
warm, then it is ready to churn. Who¬ 
ever tries this way will always do the 
same in cold weather. I use an up and 
down churn, but have used the barrel 
churn, and learned that the churn had to 
stand one-half hour with boiling hot 
water in it to get the churn warm. Then 
rinse it with cold water and put the 
cream in. The cork must be taken out 
now and then to let out air. This helps 
to get butter quicker. I found that as the 
barrel turned it formed a cool air, and 
that kept the cream getting colder. Be¬ 
fore I learned this I would sit at that 
barrel churn for three hours, not knowing 
why T could not get butter, for I knew I 
had my cream ripe enough to churn.
