Countrywide Situation 
TURNING THE CORNER—PERHAPS ; DAIRY 
PINCH IN NORTHWEST ; EUROPE BUYING 
MEAT AND FRUIT ; SOME CHANGES IN 
CROP OUTLOOK ; MORE POTATOES ; FEWER 
APPLES. 
Last week the writer put. up over 
night in a farmhouse where the owner 
did not seem to have anything to com¬ 
plain about. This has not happened 
often since the boom days of 1920. To 
be sure, this farmer has worked some in 
the electric light plant and his wife sup¬ 
plies room and meals to travelers once 
in a while. But anyhow he was cheerful 
and did not say that most everything 
cost him more to raise than he got for 
it. Perhaps farmers are doing better, or 
perhaps they are only getting used to it. 
REASONS FOR CONFIDENCE 
Conditions still vary in the different 
regions, but. there is some reason to hope 
that the corner has been turned for the 
industry as a whole. Just now a hard 
pinch is felt by dairy interests of New 
England where there was more drouth 
and less hay and pasturage than in some 
other dairy regions and where high 
freight and the rising price of grain feeds 
are making it harder than ever to dig a 
living from the hilly farms. Apart from 
high costs, the general dairy outlook is 
well enough. Demand is good. Imports 
are not large except special kinds of 
cheese. Stocks of canned milk are large 
but some of it is being exported. Fresh 
milk will have to sell higher in line with 
the cost of feed. 
The food export prospects are rather 
good. As the countries of Europe grad¬ 
ually recover from war depression they 
keep right on buying from this country, 
although they buy somewhat differently. 
They are producing more of their own 
grain, sugar, dairy and poultry products, 
but they buy liberally of meats and fruit. 
EUROPE BUYING FOOD 
They used more American canned and 
dried food the past year than ever before 
now that Germany is back in the market. 
They bought twice as many boxed apples 
and more than twice as many in barrels 
as in the year before. England’s share 
alone would fill at least 10,000 cars out 
of 18,000 carloads exported and Germany 
bought 800 cars compared with next to 
nothing a few years ago. Mexico, Cuba 
and South America are becoming good 
apples consumers. We must thank the 
western apple men for pushing some of 
the markets wide open, but any kind of 
export helped the rest of us get through 
a hard market season. 
Australian apple interests have been 
talking of capturing the American Sum¬ 
mer market. They are having all they 
can do to hold their own in the markets 
of Europe. Last season American apples 
caught them both coming and going and 
the edge was taken off their market at 
both ends. Already California early 
boxed apples are competing with the late 
Australian fruit. One of their troubles 
is to land the apples in good condition 
because of the distance and the brittle 
wood used for boxes. New Zealand grow¬ 
ers have bought a hundred thousand of 
the substantial boxes used in Washington 
and Oregon. 
Sales of millions of bushels of Ameri¬ 
can oranges in Europe also helped in¬ 
directly. The American orchard and the 
useful hog played a great part in holding 
our trade balance. Wheat fell away, 
half owing to Canada’s 'big crop last year. 
It looks as if Canada would have only 
half as much grain to sell this year. An 
interesting item is 5,000,000 barrels of 
wheat flour to China and the Far East. 
Plainly the Orientals are no longer satis¬ 
fied with rice and chop-sticks all the year. 
Looking over the list of food exports a 
farmer is likely to note that renewed 
German buying had a lot to do with 
whatever increases are made. Helping 
that nation come back, will help our 
markets, whatever it may do to some 
competing lines of manufacture. A good 
export year may be looked for. We may 
expect to supply a larger proportion of 
Europe’s grain requirements at higher 
prices. We will have plenty of cotton to 
sell and they need it. They will be short 
of apples again and we can supply them. 
SOME CROP CHANGES 
September crop reports out September 
10 made a fairly good showing. Cotton 
and grain are turning out rather better 
than expected, and those of competing 
nations not so good. Apples fell away 
another million barrels or so with prom¬ 
ise for no more than an average commer¬ 
cial crop. New York will have less than 
last season although this is the “bearing” 
year. Michigan has another full crop. 
Most of the apple States, East and West, 
except the Corn Belt States promise few 
er apples than in August. Potatoes show 
a gain of about 14,000.000 bushels over 
last month and now promise a crop equal 
to that of last year. The month’s gains 
were generally in the East and in some of 
the far western States. Sweet potatoes 
show production only about three-fourths 
that of last season hut the decrease is 
mainly in the South while the section 
from Virginia north to New Jersey shows 
production not far below that of 1923. 
These States supply most of the north¬ 
ern cities. The peach prospect de¬ 
creased somewhat in New York, New Jer¬ 
sey and Pennsylvania but the crop is 
still ahead of last season in these and 
other States. . G. b. f. 
salt crust 
This salt penetrates to 
the heart of the biggest

“There is a 
difference” 
The above illustra¬ 
tion shows ordinary 
salt. Compare its hard, 
cube-like form with 
the soft, porous, lace¬ 
like form of Colonial 
Special Farmer’s Salt 
shown in the photo 
below. This difference 
makes it the quickest 
dissolving of all salt. 
Meat Curing Results Prove 
“There is a difference” 
Salt is used in meat curing to prevent 
decomposition. As soon as you apply 
Colonial Special Farmer’s Salt, it dis¬ 
solves, begins to penetrate and start its 
work. That penetration carries through 
every fibre straight to the center of the 
biggest ham. The meat is perfectly,evenly 
cured—firm and tender—all its original 
pleasing color and fine flavor retained. 
Colonial Special Farmer’s Salt is soft— 
porous—flaky. Ordinary salt is of a hard, 
cube-like shape. It is slow and uneven in 
dissolving. Some parts of the meat get 
too much salt; others get too little and 
often spoil. “Salt crust” is a sign that 
the salt has not dissolved properly and 
usually means the curing has stopped or 
gone wrong. Don’t take chances of losing 
$20 or $30 worth of your valuable meat by 
economizing on 10c or 20c worth of salt.
