Country-wide  Produce  Situation 
POTATOES  APPROACH  WINTER  PRICES — A 
-MILLION  TO  NEW  YORK  FRUIT  GROW¬ 
ERS - ONION  MARKETS  SLOW — CAB¬ 
BAGE  HIGHER. 
The  potato  market  seems  to  be  settling 
to  Winter  basis  without  much  change  in 
price  from  week  to  week.  Wholesale 
quotations  are  25  to  75c  per  100  ibs.  low¬ 
er  in  Western  States  than  in  the  East. 
Freight  cost  and  the  size  of  the  Western 
crop  is  a  part  ofthe  reason,  but  quality 
and  appearance  of  some  Western  stock  is 
not  quite  up  to  the  mark.  Few  potatoes 
this  year  are  as  good  as  Maine  Green 
Mountain,  and  these  bring  top  prices, 
compared  with  any  other  stock  coming  in 
large  volume. 
There  are  always  special  lines  which 
bring  a  premium  for  limited  quantities. 
Long  Island  Green  Mountain  sell  even 
higher  than  Maines.  Idaho  Russets 
(Burbank)  are  bringing  25c  to  $1  more 
than  common  white  stock.  Early  Ohios 
from  the  Red  River  Valley  of  Minnesota 
and  North  Dakota  usually  bring  a  pre¬ 
mium,  but  they  are  too  rough  this  year. 
Borne  districts  report  poor  sale  for  table 
stock,  but  a  brisk  demand  for  certified 
seed  potatoes  at  about  double  the  common 
market  price.  It  is  a  great  thing  for  a 
potato  section  when  it  gets  a  good  start 
in  a  line  of  potatoes  that  will  bring  a 
paying  price  in  any  season.  This  year’s 
crop  will  help  pay  off  many  debts  and 
mortgages  that  have  been  hanging  over 
the  families  in  Maine  and  the  Rocky 
Mountain  regions  since  1920.  But  if  the 
potato  crop  had  turned  out  not  larger 
than  it  looked  in  August,  it  would  have 
brought  more  money  to  the  rank  and  file 
of  growers. 
FEW  POTATOES  FROM  CANADA 
Potatoes  are  selling  at  $1  to  $1.15  per 
100  lbs.  in  large  cities  of  Canada,  com¬ 
pared  with  $1.65  to  $1.80  in  the  large 
markets  in  the  Eastern  United  States. 
The  tariff  of  50  per  100  lbs.  and  the  high 
freight  charges  made  the  border  line  hard 
to  roll  potatoes  across.  Imports  have  not 
amounted  to  much  so  far.  East  year  they 
were  about  2  per  cent  of  the  Canadian 
crop.  Canada  has  a  full  size  crop  again 
(his  year,  although  not  quite  so  large  as 
that  of  1922.  Prices  in  the  country  run 
as  low  as  25c  per  100  lbs.  in  Alberta,  and 
average  about  $1  in  the  eastern  provinces. 
The  interesting  point  is  that  Canada 
could  ship  many  potatoes  next  Spring  if 
our  prices  should  go  up  very  far.  There 
is  no  quarantine  restriction  at  present. 
CO-OPERATIVE  FRUIT  SELLING 
Nearly  $1,250,000  was  paid  to  Western 
New  York  fruit  growers  during  the  1922- 
23  market  season  by  the  co-operative  as¬ 
sociation.  Over  a  million  was  for  apples, 
which  netted  a  little  less  than  80c  per  bu. 
After  deduction  of  40c  for  freight,  stor¬ 
age  and  other  costs  of  handling,  peaches 
netted  only  30c  per  bu.  last  season  ;  pears 
about  74c.  and  plums  about  80c.  The 
amount  sold  by  co-operative  methods  was 
only  a  fraction,  probably  10  per  cent,  of 
the  State’s  commercial  crop. 
CABBAGE  HIGHER 
New  York  State  cabbage  of  the  storage 
type  has  been  going  up  slowly  with  the 
beginning  of  the  storage  season,  and  made 
recent  gains  fo  about  $5  per  ton,  averag¬ 
ing  about  $20  in  the  cities,  and  ranging 
$2  or  $3  less  in  the  country.  Much  cab¬ 
bage  of  the  highest  varieties  is  inclined 
to  be  rather  loose  and  light.  Some  grow¬ 
ers  say  that  the  drought  was  to  blame, 
others  think  too  much  poor  seed  was 
planted.  The  best  stock  brings  $2  to  $5 
more  than  common  loose-headed  cabbage. 
SLOW  ONION  MARKETS 
Onions  are  selling  slowly  everywhere, 
with  a  city  range  of  $2.50  to  $3  per  100 
lbs.,  and  about  $2.50  in  the  country. 
Northern  growers  will  be  interested  to 
know  that  Texas  onion  growers  are  not 
increasing  their  plantings  much  and  their 
total  acreage  will  be  hardly  up  to  aver¬ 
age.  Texas  had  a  poor  crop  last  year 
and  left  a  chance  for  Northern  onions  to 
clean  up  well  in  late  Spring.  Southern 
onion  growing  is  even  more  uncertain 
than  Northern,  despite  irrigation,  be¬ 
cause  of  the  shifting  climate  and  the  in¬ 
crease  of  diseases  and  pests.  They  do 
not  as  a  rule  get  such  large  crops  there 
as  in  the  North.  Perhaps  one  reason  is 
that  most  of  them  rely  on  the  good  soil  of 
the  Rio  Grande  Valley  and  cut  out  the 
fertilizer  bills..  But,  taking  one  year 
with  another  over  a  period  of  10  or  15 
years,  most  of  the  old-time  growers  are 
reported  to  have  made  good  profits.

EVENTS  OF  THE  WEEK 
DOMESTIC1.— Locked  in  the  West 
100th  Street  Police  Station  Nov.  29  was 
Louis  McCauley  of  the  Mills  Hotel  at 
West  Broadway  and  Bleecker  St.,  New 
York,  whose  sole  occupation,  according 
to  the  police,  is  the  looting  of  church  poor 
boxes.  They  said  he  made  a  practice  of 
getting  two  such  boxes  each  week,  yield¬ 
ing  him  an  average  income  of  $50.  Nov. 
29  was  a  big  day  for  him,  it  was  asserted, 
and  he  got  about  $40  in  two  churches — 
hut  he  was  caught  on  his  second  venture. 
The  police  declared  he  had  been  convicted 
of  similar  offenses  on  four  previous  oc¬ 
casions. 
Five  persons  lost  their  lives,  five  were 
injured  and  heavy  property  damage  re¬ 
sulted  from  a  storm  which  swept  the  lit¬ 
tle  Caillou  Bayou  section,  Louisiana, 
Nov.  29.  The  family  of  Ralph  Guidry 
was  wiped  out,  Mr.  Guidry,  his  wife,  10- 
year-old  son  and  12-year-old  daughter 
being  killed  when  their  home  was 
wrecked.  The  fifth  death  was  that  of 
Katherine  Brunet,  aged  12,  who  was 
drowned  when  a  houseboat  was  over¬ 
turned.  Her  parents  escaped.  Approxi¬ 
mately  25  houses  were  wrecked,  includ¬ 
ing  the  Lacache  School.  Crops  were 
badly  damaged  by  rain  which  accom¬ 
panied  the  storm. 
A  blaze  which  started  Nov.  29  in  the 
storehouse  of  the  Bushwick  Cork  Com¬ 
pany,  681  Hudson  Boulevard,  Bayonne, 
N.  J.,  and  brought  out  the  entire  Bay¬ 
onne  lire  force,  destroyed  the  frame  build¬ 
ing  together  with  most  of  a  thousand 
bales  of  cork  recently  imported  from  Por¬ 
tugal.  Damage  to  the  factory  and  to  ad¬ 
jacent  frame  houses  brought  the  total 
loss  to  $60,000. _ 
Two  men  were  killed  and  a  third  was 
injured  when  struck  by  a  racing  automo¬ 
bile  driven  by  Harry  Hartz  as  he  was 
warming  up  his  car  before  the  start  of 
the  250-mile  Thanksgiving  Day  race  at 
Beverly,  Cal.,  Nov.  29.  Russell  Hughes, 
a  photographer,  was  killed  on  the  spot, 
and  George  L.  Wade  of  Kansas  City, 
Mo.,  wealthy  owrner  of  the  car  driven  by 
Ilarlan  Fengler,  died  half  an  hour  later 
in  a  hospital.  Jimmy  Lee,  a  mechanic, 
suffered  a  broken  leg. 
Gov.  Warren  T.  McCray  of  Indiana 
was  named  in  eight  indictments  returned 
Nov.  30  by  the  Marion  County  Grand 
Jury.  The  eight  separate  indictments  re¬ 
turned  against  the  Governor  charge  em¬ 
bezzlement,  embezzlement  and  larceny, 
forgery,  issuing  a  fraudulent  check, 
false  pretenses  by  the  use  of  a  promis¬ 
sory  note  and  making  a  false  statement 
in  regard  to  his  financial  condition  and 
using  the  same  to  obtain  credit.  The  in¬ 
dictments,  which  embody  a  total  of  192 
counts,  charge,  in  all,  that  the  Governor 
embezzled  a  total  of  $225,000.  One  in¬ 
dictment  alone  covers  75  typewritten 
pages. 
A  confession  that  he  has  systematically 
robbed  the  Post  Office  Department  at 
Washington  of  stamps  valued  at  approxi¬ 
mately  $75,000  after  nearly  25  years  in 
its  service  has  been  obtained,  according 
to  Federal  officials  from  Herman  C.  Da¬ 
vis.  Davis  is  at  liberty  under  $5,000 
bond,  fixed  Dec.  1  by  United  States  Com¬ 
missioner  George  B.  MacDonald  after  he 
had  signed  the  confession  and  offered 
restitution  in  part.  In  his  sworn  state¬ 
ment,  which  was  submitted  to  Frank 
Kelly,  Assistant  United  States  Attorney, 
he  admitted  having  planned  the  thefts 
carefully  and  carried  them  out  for  four 
years. 
Principles  upon  which  the  Dukhobor 
colony  at  Veregin,  Saskatchewan,  was 
founded  by  the  Christian  Community  of 
Universal  Brotherhood,  Ltd.,  are  to  be 
tested  as  to  their  compatibility  with  Ca¬ 
nadian  statutes  when  the  brotherhood’s 
Charge  of  theft  of  $5,000  grain  against 
four  of  its  members  is  tried  in  court.  The 
brotherhood  brought  about  this  crisis  in 
its  affairs  by  causing  the  arrest  of  the 
four  Ilorkoff  brothers,  alleging  that  they 
sold  grain  which  under  the  communistic 
laws  of  the  colony  is  regarded  a-s  the 
general  property  of  the  brotherhood.  The 
court  will  be  called  upon  to  decide 
whether  the  brotherhood  can  legally  pre¬ 
vent  its  members  from  selling  on  their 
own  account  grain  they  raise  on  the  col¬ 
ony’s  acres. 
Seven  deaths  from  motor  accidents 
were  reported  in  and  around  New  York 
Dec.  2.  Frederick  Milton.  28,  of  Gedney 
Farms  Hotel,  White  Plains,  was  killed 
on  Pelham  Bridge  road,  Bronx,  when  an 
automobile  in  which  he  was  riding  with 
a  friend  was  in  collision  with  another 
motor.  Murray  Barron.  20,  of  2158  Sec¬ 
ond  avenue,  died  in  Harlem  Hospital 
after  being  run  down  by  the  taxicab  of 
Joseph  Craig  at  Lenox  avenue  and  114th 
street.  In  Union  Hill,  N.  J.,  William 
Carey.  23,  of  484  Palisade  avenue,  West 
New  York,  was  driving  in  New  York  ave¬ 
nue  when  a  motor  driven  by  Lieutenant- 
Commander  Joseph  Deem  of  the  naval 
air  station  in  Lakehurst  ran  into  Carey’s 
car.  Carey  was  pinned  under  the  wreck¬ 
age  and  died  an  hour  later  in  the  North- 
Hudson  Hospital.  Thomas  O’Neill,  45, 
of  Cross  River.  Westchester  County,  died 
in  the  Mount  Ivisco  Hospital  of  injuries 
suffered  four  days  before  when  he  was 
struck  by  an  automobile.  As  John  Al- 
strum,  a  White  Plains  contractor,  was 
backing  a  motor  truck  into  his  garage 
Dec.  1  his  son,  John,  Jr.,  12,  was  run 
over  by  one  of  the  wheels  and  injured  in¬ 
ternally.  He  died  in  the  White  Plains 
Hospital.  The  Brooklyn  police  are  hunt¬ 
ing  the  driver  of  an  automobile  that  late 
Saturday  night  killed  George  R.  Still¬ 
well,  43,  paying  teller  in  the  Dime  Sav¬ 
ing  Bank,  DeKalb  avenue  and  Fulton 
street,  and  Mrs.  Ollie  Tyler,  a  relative 
of  Stillwell,  whose  home  was  in  Essex 
Junction,  Yt.  Mr.  Stillwell  and  Mrs. 
Tyler  were  on  their  way  back  to  the 
Stillwell  home  at  431  Kings  Highway 
when  they  were  run  down  at  Kings  Iligh- 
December  15,  1923 
way  and  West  Sixth  street  by  a  motor 
that  sped  on. 
Three  naval  airmen  were  killed  at  San 
Diego,  Cal.,  Dec.  3  when  two  airplanes 
crashed  into  each  other  at  an  altitude  of 
about  1,000  feet  almost  directly  over  the 
bridge  between  Coronado  and  North 
Island.  The  dead  are :  Lieut  F.  M. 
Byers,  28,  of  Coronado ;  Willard  B. 
Jackson,  26,  aviation  chief  machinist 
mate,  of  San  Diego  and  Thomas  B.  Ent- 
wistle,  aviation  chief  machinist  mate,  29, 
whose  widow  lives,  at  Pensacola.  Jackson 
and  Entwistle.  flying  about  50  miles  an 
hour,  were  nosing  down  preparatory  to 
landing  when  Byers  swung  along  the 
same  course.  The  airplanes  crashed  and 
plunged. 
“Mannie”  Kessler  was  found  guilty  in 
New  York  Dec.  4  by  a  Federal  jury  of 
conspiracy  to  violate  the  prohibition  and 
customs  laws,  and  along  with  him  Mor¬ 
ris  Sweetwood,  his  partner,  and  nine 
others  of  the  14  defendants  remaining  of 
the  original  19.  Three  men,  former  pro¬ 
hibition  agents,  were  acquitted.  The 
convicted  subordinates  of  Kessler  and 
Sweetwood  in  the  plot  involving  4.900 
cases  of  whisky  and  295  cases  of  cham¬ 
pagne  removed  from  the  Republic  Ware¬ 
house  in  East  34th  street,  New  York 
during  May,  1922,  with  the  aid  of  false 
customs  documents  and  other  paper,  are 
Joseph  Fox  t“Joe  the  Book”),  Kessler’s 
bookkeeper ;  Morris  M.  Becher,  soliciting 
attorney  for  bonding  companies  ;  Murray 
E.  Birnbaum.  Mark  Aron  and  Millard  J. 
Friedberg,  all  convicted  on  three  counts 
of  the  indictment ;  Albert  Block,  Jack 
Goldman,  Ben  Katz  and  John  R.  Max¬ 
well,  guilty  on  one  count.  The  former 
agents  acquitted  were;  Roswell  A.  Sa¬ 
ver,  Abe  Toplitz  and  Irving  Garssou. 
The  trial  began  three  weeks  earlier,  and 
attracted  much  attention,  partly  because 
of.  the  position  Kessler,  described  as 
“king  of  the  bootleggers,”  was  said  to 
occupy  amon"-  illicit  liquor  purveyors, 
and  partly  because  of  the  number  of  de¬ 
fendants  on  trial. 
WASHINGTON.  —  Considerations 
which  impelled  the  Navy  Department  in 
1921  to  hasten  the  letting  of  contracts 
for  the  storage  of  oil  from  naval  reserves 
in  the  Teapot  Dome  field  were  laid  be¬ 
fore  the  Senate  Public  Lands  Committee 
Dec.  1  in  executive  session.  Before  go¬ 
ing  into  executive  session  considerable 
evidence  was  heard  and  the  committee  re¬ 
ceived  advices  from  Albert  B.  Fall,  for¬ 
mer  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  that  he 
would  hold  himself  in  readiness  to  appear 
before  it  at  any  time.  Concerning  some 
testimony  heard  Nov.  30  that  he  had  been 
delinquent  for  some  time  in  the  payment 
of  taxes  in  New  Mexico,  but  had  made 
complete  payment  in  1922,  Mr.  Fall  ad¬ 
vised  the  committee  that  the  payment  of 
his  personal  taxes,  in  that  State  last  year 
had  followed  a  judicial  decision  remov¬ 
ing  assessments  of  which  he  had  com¬ 
plained,  and  had  no  bearing  whatever 
upon  the  leasing  through  the  Interior 
Department,  of  the  Government  petro¬ 
leum  reserves. 
Attorney  General  Daugherty  an¬ 
nounced  Dee.  1  that  criminal  prosecu¬ 
tions.  would  be  brought  as  a  result  of 
the  investigation  which  has  been  made 
by  his  department  and  by  a  special  com¬ 
mittee  of  the  Senate  into  alleged  irregu¬ 
larities  in  .  the  conduct  of  the  Veterans’ 
Bureau.  W'hile  Attorney  General  Daugh¬ 
erty  refused  to  discuss  in  detail  the  pro¬ 
cedure  to  be  followed,  the  suggestion  has 
been  made  that  facts  revealed  by  the  Sen¬ 
ate  inquiry  and  by  the  Department  of 
Justic  might  be  placed  before  a  Federal 
Grand  Jury  in  the  District  of  Columbia 
and  indictments  sought. 
Payment  of  a  soldiers’  bonus  with 
funds  raised  by  a  poll  tax  of  $250  on 
each  immigrant  and  $50  on  every  alien 
resident,  a  tax  of  2  per  cent  on  gross  in¬ 
come  of  foreign  corporations  in  the 
United  States,  an  increase  in  the  inheri¬ 
tance  tax  and  an  excess  profits  tax  is 
proposed  in  a  bill  drafted  by  Represen¬ 
tative  Watkins,  Democrat,  of  Oregon. 
The  bill  provides  for  compensation  at  the 
rate  of  $1.25  a  day  for  foreign  service 
and  $1  for  home  service,  the  maximum 
cash  payment  being  $625.  Six  methods 
of  receiving  the  bonus  are  provided,  as 
follows:  Adjusted  service  pay,  adjusted 
service  certificates,  credit  on  any  form  of 
government  insurance  held  by  the  veter¬ 
an,  vocational  training,  farm  or  home 
aid,  and  land  settlement  aid. 
Propagating  Maple  Varieties 
WTe  find  a  few  beautiful  red  maples  in 
the  woods  but  only  a  few  have  the  fine 
color.  Some  are  already  growing  in  yards 
set  years  ago.  The  Berry  school  wants 
to  have  a  red  maple  drive,  which  would 
take  a  thousand  or  more  trees.  How 
can  these  trees  be  propagated?  Can 
they  be  grafted  this  Vrinter  on  the  green 
leaf  maple  or  budded  next  Summer?  The 
school  is  anxious  to  propagate  this  col¬ 
ored  maple  as  it  is  the  most  beautiful 
tree  we  have  ever  seen.  Each  Winter 
they  get  a  few  from  the  woods,  but  this  is 
slow  and  tedious.  s.  R.  c.

Maples  are  commonly  grown  from  seed, 
though  where  particular  varieties  are  de¬ 
sired  it  is  the  practice  to  resort  to  layer¬ 
ing,  budding  or  grafting.  In  fact  it  is 
possible  to  propagate,  though  with  diffi¬ 
culty,  by  means  of  both  soft  and  hard¬ 
wood  cuttings.  Grafting  is  done  in  Win¬ 
ter,  using  the  roots  from  seedling  maples 
secured  from  almost  any  nursery  com¬ 
pany.  In  the  East  budding  is  the  pre¬ 
ferred  method  of  propagation,  the  work 
being  done  on  seedling  maples,  also,  in 
Summer.  h.  b.  t.
