Don’t store hard-won crops 
under leaky roofs — 
Look to your roofs now—before winter rains and snows 
come storming across your fields. Poor thrift, isn’t it, to 
leave expensive implements and hard - won crops stored 
under leaky roofs? Just as surely it’s sound thrift to make 
every building on the farm tight and dry against the attacks 
of winter weather. 
Replace worn-out old roofs with roofs that last—Barrett 
Roofs. Sixty-six years of experience have taught The 
Barrett Company how to make roofings that are staunchly 
durable. 
Barrett Roofings meet every requirement of a good roof: 
(1) Lastingly weathertight. No rot—no rust. 
(2) Soundly economical, they’re low in first cost — low¬ 
est in cost per-year-of-service. 
(3) Free from maintenance expense — they need no 
painting or staining. 
(4) Highly fire-resistant, they’re a sure safeguard against 
flying sparks and embers. This is doubly important 
to the man living far from a good fire department. 
Call on the nearest Barrett dealer. Ask to see Barrett 
Roofings. (Leading lumber, building supply and hardware 
merchants carry them.) There’s a Barrett Roofing that’s 
definitely right for any building on your farm.

Market News & Prices 
Phila. Produce Markets 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets.) 
The experienced marketman would say 
that receipts of fresh fruits and vegetables 
in Philadelphia during the week were 
fairly liberal, but the average consumer 
would wonder how all the produce stacked 
in the market houses and upon the side¬ 
walks in the early morning could possibly 
be moved in time for a fresh supply equal¬ 
ly large. Not only were receipts of near¬ 
by produce fairly liberal, but a fair vol¬ 
ume of busniess was done at the railroad 
sheds, where carloads of produce are re¬ 
received, broken up into comparatively 
smallots and sold to jobbers and large 
retailers. New York State lettuce was 
running fairly heavy and prices held 
about steady during the week, good stock 
selling $1.75-$2.25, and poor as low as 25c 
per crate of two dozen heads. There was 
also some California and Colorado Ice¬ 
berg lettuce arriving, bringing $5-$5.50 a 
crate of three to six dozen heads, accord¬ 
ing to size. The cabbage market has been 
very dull, with much of the stock large 
and undesirable. The Danish type has 
been working out at $15-$20, and Domes¬ 
tic $8-$ll a ton. Celery held fairly steady, 
but trading was not very brisk at from 
$1-$1.50 per two-thirds crate in the rough. 
Quinces have been arriving quite freely 
from New l T ork State, meeting a dull 
market at 65c a bushel. Long Island 
cauliflower weakened during the week, 
but recovered, and $2.25 a crate was 
reached before the week was out. For 
cauliflower from the Buffalo section $1.25- 
$1.50 a crate was realized. The onion 
market was steady, but movement was 
slow at $1.50-$1.85 per 100-lb. sack. A 
slow demand for sweet potatoes was re¬ 
ported at $2.50 a barrel for Eastern 
Shore of Virginia stock, while New Jer¬ 
sey sweets averaged about $1 per %_ bu. 
Spinach has been selling at low prices, 
40-50c a bushel for nearby, and the to¬ 
mato market has been dull. California 
lugs and the Ohio hothouse product are 
already supplementing the dwindling of¬ 
ferings of local tomatoes. Beets and car¬ 
rots have held about steady. Peppers and 
Lima beans were slightly stronger. Green 
corn has been mostly inferior in quality, 
and market was very weak. String beans 
were about steady, but there has been 
damaging frost in some sections, and the 
season for Summer vegetables is drawing 
toward the close. The potato market 
continues very dull, with slow movement, 
best Pennsylvania round whites ranging 
$2-$2.25 per 150-lb. sack. New Y r ork 
State round whites were quoted $1.90-$2 
for U. S. No. l’s, and Maine Green Moun¬ 
tains $2-$2.15 a sack. In spite 'of the 
new estimate showing an added 10,000,- 
000 bushels to the September 1 estimate 
of 412,000,000 bushels, there is still some 
optimism, many figuring that after the 
harvest rush and glut is over potatoes 
will make some gains. Undoubtedly there 
are large quantities being stored all over 
the country on account of the prevailing 
low prices. These conditions generally 
mean that the shipper of carefully graded 
potatoes will find a market, while poorly 
graded stock will be carried over from 
day to day, or sold only at concessions. 
More potatoes are rejected on a weak 
and glutted market than at any other 
time, and it is only the good stuff that 
finds a ready outlet. At Presque Isle, 
Me., carload delivered sales were reported 
officially around 55c per cwt. for Green 
Mountains. Round whites in Wisconsin 
brought from 52-55c per cwt. on f. o. h. 
sales, and York State round whites on 
the same basis were quoted at $1.35-$1.40, 
with occasional sales at $1.50 per 150-lb. 
sack in the Rochester district. 
EGGS AND POULTRY 
Egg receipts have fallen off consider¬ 
ably during the past week, and there was 
a scarcity of fancy stock which caused 
prices to advance, nearby and western ex¬ 
tra firsts selling at 53c, and firsts at 46- 
47%c a dozen. -There was plenty of un¬ 
attractive stock, however, which sold 
slowly. The market on refrigerator eggs 
was firmly held, with some trading on ex¬ 
tra firsts at 40c a dozen. 
A firm market and a small advance in 
prices on live poultry earlier in the week 
evidently caused more poultry to be di¬ 
verted to the local market, and prices 
weakened accordingly. Colored fowl, 
fancy, weighing 5 lbs. or over, declined 2c 
to 28-30c a pound, small and very or¬ 
dinary stock selling as low as 20c; ‘White 
Leghorn fowl, live, ranged lS-22c per lb., 
and Plymouth Rocks weighing 3 lb. or 
more sold for about the same price as 
fowl. Mixed breeds of live chickens 
worked out at from 20-25c, and Leghorns 
averaged a little less. The dressed poul¬ 
try market was steady under moderate de¬ 
mand. Fresh killed, barreled-packed 
fowl, 5 lbs. or over, sold for 30 or 31c a 
pound, and nearby chickens weighing 4 
lbs. or more ranged 37-40c. Fancy near¬ 
by ducklings were quoted at 26c a pound. 
HAY AND STRAW 
Hay receipts were about moderate, but 
ample for the needs of the trade. Very 
little No. 1 Timothy arriving, and No. 2 
sold at from $18-$19 a ton. No. 3 aver¬ 
aged about $15.50, and sample sold as low 
as $10 a ton. Light clover mixed worked 
out at $1 under No. 2 Timothy. Wheat 
straw was a little scarce and $1 a ton 
was realized over former rates, No. 1 sell¬ 
ing at from $14-$15 a ton. Straight rye 
straw was quiet at $17-$18 a ton.
