A Wise Old Trapper 
In the state of Ohio there lived a bunch of 
boys who had this trapping business down to 
a science. They each sent for separate price 
lists every year and then sent all their furs 
to the house giving the best quotations. After 
five years they decided they weren’t so dread¬ 
fully wise because they didn’t have enough 
profits to make their efforts worth while. 
One day they met Tom McMillan driving a new car 
to town, Tom said he made the price of his swell 
outfit shipping pelts. He told how he got wiBe to 
those funny prices and found it was better to deal 
with ChaB. Porter because he always knew in advance 
just what he was sure of getting. He said that Porter 
never offered $5 for a $3 pelt but he always paid the $3 
which he promised and sometimes a little better. Chas. 
Porter now has five wise trappers in that section 
instead of one.

Countrywide Situation 
A FAIR SEASON AFTER ALL—THE FEED 
QUESTION - DAIRYING — POTATOES •— 
APPLES—A GLIMPSE OF A GREAT APPLE 
REGION. 
The season has turned out better than 
it promised in the early stages. As often 
before, a late season has proved more 
generally satisfactory than an early one. 
Only on the Pacific coast was the season 
early, but drought came with it and the 
crops were about the poorest in the coun¬ 
try. Most of the important crops are 
good elsewhere. C-orn was frosted in 
places, but not so generally as feared. 
Most of the soft corn will do for feed 
and wfill help to fatten off mid-western 
hogs and steers. 
FEEDS AND FEEDERS 
Will there be enough hard corn to sup¬ 
ply eastern feeders at a moderate price? 
Eastern dairymen need cheap feed this 
y a ar. Some of them are short of hay. 
Dairy products, especially milk, are not 
high enough to warrant heavy grain bills. 
On the other hand, less feed would be 
used if the price of grain is high, less but¬ 
ter would be made, and the tremendous 
stock in storage could be sold without 
breaking the market. Milk shippers 
would be in a stronger position to raise 
the price of the city supply of fresh milk. 
The situation tends to balance itself what¬ 
ever happens, and the hill is never quite 
so steep as it looks from a distance. 
MOKE POTATOES 
With another ten million bushels added 
to the potato crop by the October esti¬ 
mate, the fact is brought home to us that 
we have another great potato year. With 
population gaining nearly two millions a 
year we can use a big crop much more 
easily than five years ago, but we can 
hardly expect high prices. Potatoes are 
selling by the carload in the country at 
from 40 to 60c per bu., and in the city at 
from 60 to 80c. There is not much in 
that price for anybody except the con¬ 
sumer. 
APPLE POSITION STRONG 
It is a relief to turn to the apple situ¬ 
ation, which grows steadily better from 
the sellers’ point of view. The crop is 
even lighter than expected, both East and 
West. Export trade opens active and as 
high as could be expected from the small 
size apples that comprise most of the re¬ 
cent shipments. If Europe likes small 
sizes, we have plenty this year because of 
drought in the great exporting sections of 
Eastern Virginia and in the Pacific 
Northwest. Apples for export bring $3.50 
to $4 per bbl. in the country. A great 
deal of ordinary stuff is being taken off 
the general market in this way, and the 
demand is likely to continue active, al¬ 
though we may look for the usual spell 
of dullness and oversupply in foreign 
markets about November. A shippers’ 
co-operative agency to hold exports to 
just about the right quantity every week 
could do much to lessen the risks of the 
export trade. The general range of apple 
prices at shipping points the country over 
is $3.50 to $5 per bbl, and for boxed 
Western apples $1 to $3, with best Wash¬ 
ington Winesap $2. Boxed apples of 
standard grades and varieties are 50c to 
$1 higher than last season, and the differ¬ 
ence represents that much profit as com¬ 
pared with selling a year ago at about 
cost of production. Eastern bushel bas¬ 
ket apples bring about $1.50. Not much 
of the very best stock goes into baskets, 
but some does, and the basket pack seems 
to be increasing year by year. 
APPLE MONTH IN VIRGINIA 
In the great Valley section of Virginia 
the hafvest work was rushing during the 
writer’s visit the second week of October. 
This is the leading center of the York 
Imperial variety, with some Ben Davis, 
Grimes, Stayman and Winesap. The sec¬ 
tion usually produces over half of the ex¬ 
port crop of Virginia, which is one of the 
three or four leading apple States. About 
three-fourths of the early crop was report¬ 
ed already sold. The yield was light. 
One cold storage plant at Winchester 
holds 300,000 bbls. and was full last sea¬ 
son, but will be only one-third full this 
year probably. Another close by holds 
150,000 bbls. A great co-operative pack¬ 
ing and shipping house is handling about 
one-third of last season’s quantity, and 
most people thereabouts estimate the crop 
of the whole region as one-third of the big 
crop of 1923. This shortage, the result 
of frost, followed by drought, is a large 
item in the strength of the general market 
position of apples. The crop of the great 
Southern apple region is mostly poor, and 
often contains much small-sized fruit. 
There are some full crops in orchards in 
the foothills which had less trouble from 
Spring frosts. The Southern apples this 
season are more free from scab, blotch 
and other seasonal troubles of the North¬ 
ern orchardists, but there is a good deal 
of rust and quite a number of side-stung 
apples, the result of a late infestation of 
the codling moth, despite four or five 
sprayings given most of the orchards. 
The Valley orchards are large, some up to 
1,000 acres. The crop is mostly put up 
in central packing houses equipped with 
power machinery for unloading, convey¬ 
ing, sizing, sorting, etc. Nearby canning 
and cider factories take the windfalls and 
culls. This is the livest apple region in 
the South in some ways and well worth a 
separate description. G. B. F,
