Farm Co-operation 
is a protest against the monopoly 
and other oppressive methods of 
organized distributors and the 
capital stock companies. Can 
farmers afford to adopt the policies 
in their own organizations that 
they denounce in others ? 
ORGANIZED 
COOPERATION 
By 
JOHN J. DILLON 
ML_ 
T HIS SUBJECT is treated fully 
but concisely in the new book. 
“Organized Co-operation.” Farmers 
must understand these questions if 
they are to direct their own organiza¬ 
tions, and no organization can be 
co-operative unless the members direct 
it themselves.

THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
333 West 30th Street, New York 
Market News & Prices 
N. Y. Produce Markets 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets.) 
The New York apple market has been 
irregular with very little demand except¬ 
ing for large size fruit, small or other¬ 
wise inferior apples generally finding a 
dull market. Fancy Gravensteins from 
New Jersey and New York State ranged 
$2 to $2.50 a bushel hamper, but general 
sales on most varieties of poor to aver¬ 
age quality ranged 1 $1 to $1.50 a bushel. 
Moderate amounts of Gravensteins were 
received from California, packed in the 
regular western box, selling $1.50 to $4.25 
as to quality, size, condition, etc. There 
was quite a loss in the August apple esti¬ 
mate of production, about three million 
barrels, which occurred principally in 
the barreled apple areas of New York 
and Virginia. From present conditions 
it would seem that New York State 
would have a good yield of early apples, 
but that the Baldwin crop would be poor, 
while Greenings, McIntosh and Rome 
Beauties would be. only fair. The Cana¬ 
dian crop, our strongest competitor in 
export trade, is about 16 per cent smaller 
than last year and the English crop is 
not as large as a year ago, which would 
indicate a fair export outlet unless the 
rest of Europe has a good crop. The 
New England crop is expected to be a 
good one, that is about 700.000 barrels 
larger than the average for the past five 
years, according to the latest government 
estimates. Peach receipts have been a 
little lighter and although the market 
has been weak there were reactions with 
prices on the better quality goods ad¬ 
vancing a little. Watermelons were very 
dull with the change in weather condi¬ 
tions, cool weather being unfavorable for 
active trading. From 250 to 300 car¬ 
loads of cantaloupes were received dur¬ 
ing the week, ending August 16, Califor¬ 
nia stock leading with about 111 car¬ 
loads. with Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, 
Maryland and Delaware each contribut¬ 
ing from 30 to 40 carloads during the 
week. The market was irregular with 
Delaware and Maryland standard 45’s 
working out 75c to $1.50, standard 36’s 
averaging about 25c a crate more. Red 
sour cherries from New York State were 
rather scarce, but there were plenty of 
black sour cherries for which the demand 
was only moderate and only fancy stock 
was in favor. Fancy red sour cherries 
sold 70 to 75c and 'black sour 80 to 90c 
per 4-quart basket. The lettuce market 
was well supplied by New York State 
growers, receipts averaging about 40 car- 
loads daily and the demand was generally 
slow, but the market has recently showed 
signs of improvement. Onions were ir¬ 
regular, but the market on fancy stock 
was inclined to be firm. Massachusetts 
and other fancy yellows sold $2.75 to $3 
per 100-lb. sack. String beans are now 
down to a quality basis and fancy young 
beans were in good demand with poor 
stock selling slowly. Beets and carrots 
were about steady. Lima beans after a 
weak market showed signs of recovering 
from their low prices and York State 
peas are moving a little better. Potato 
prices have been farily steady for a few 
days. The demand has been somewhat 
limited with Eastern Shore Virginia and 
Maryland stock selling $2.25 to $2.50 a 
barrel. Potato receipts have been light 
for the season, 167 carloads for the week 
ending August 16, compared with 572 
carloads for the week previous. Eastern 
Shore growers have been shipping lightly, 
50 to 75 carloads a day, but New Jersey 
is getting into it rather heavily. New 
Jersey potatoes have turned out unusual¬ 
ly good so far this season. 
EGGS AND POULTRY 
Eg£ receipts were less than 100.000 
cases last week and although the tradp 
output is probably less than last year 
there was a sufficient demand for fine to 
extra fancy qualities to cause advancing 
prices. 
The live fowl market has been very 
good. Cooler weather has helped to 
stimulate the demand, people are return¬ 
ing from the (Summer resorts and on the 
whole the market has been very satisfac¬ 
tory after the low prices which have pre¬ 
vailed for some time. Of course, if 
prices get too high, they will attract 
more stock than can well be taken care 
of and prices will swing downward, but 
ultimately adjusting themselves to sea¬ 
sonal conditions. In fact prices have al¬ 
ready receded a little from the peak of 
the first upward swing, but stock con¬ 
tinues to move readily. Live broilers 
have been selling well and ducks were 
rather firm. 
HAY AND STRAW 
Trading has been a little quiet. Good 
hay held steady, the proportion of high 
grade stock being small. Plenty of un¬ 
dergrade hay is available which is mov¬ 
ing out rather slowly. Reports of the 
New York State crop would indicate a 
good yield excepting in the counties east 
of the Hudson River, the northwestern 
counties and an occasional spot in the 
central part of the State. The New Eng¬ 
land crop is expected to be lighter, while 
the Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wis¬ 
consin. Minnesota and Iowa territory are 
expecting better results than last year.

BOYS AND GIRLS 
(Continued from page 1135) 
so? Por example, here is the first para¬ 
graph in a letter I received this month 
from a Pennsylvania reader: “As a boy 
of 18 I find much pleasure in reading 
the Boys’ and Girls’ Page. The draw¬ 
ings are certainly remarkable. This page 
is of great value to the farm boys and 
girls. It helps them to feel that they are 
‘part of the world,’ too.” This is the 
kind of spirit we want in all our readers, 
young ‘and old, boys and girls. 
All work for the September page must 
be sent to reach your editor by September 
6. This gives you only one week, and the 
best plan would be to write as soon as 
you finish reading this. Then you will 
have it off your mind and in plenty of 
time. 
So now, good-bye. Swing over from va¬ 
cation into school with a good will, and 
let me hear from you. Address Edward 
M. Tuttle, in care The Rural New-York¬ 
er, 333 West 30th St., New YArk Oity.
