GRAIN MARKET CONTINUES
DOWNWARD TREND
Favorable crop conditions at
home and abroad forced grain pric-
es downward on a nervous market
during the week ending June 27,
according to the weekly grain
market review of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
corn market was sharply: lower with
a big improvement in crop condi-
tions, Moisture was sufficient and
temperatures were favorable for
promoting rapid growth, although
rainfall was insufficient in most of
the Southern States. The oats
market declined with corn and
with improved crop conditions of
the growing crop.
Hay Prices Firm
Light receipts of hay at interior
markets again forced hay
higher although California
Northeastern markets were
cally cnchanged. Farmers in most
sections were marketing sparingly
with prospects for a reduced crop
although rains during the week
were beneficial to pastures and
meadows. The timothy market con-
tinued firm with higher prices at
New York and interior markets al-
though Boston market was easier
with receipts in excess of trade
needs.

VERY GOOD MARKETING
HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES
Feeding the family is one of the
biggest problems tnat the house-
wire has to solve, The usual fam-
Ly of today is not satisfied with a
meat and potato diet but ask for
variety, This makes her
still harder,
wife wants foods that are appetiz-
ing and easy to prepare. To sup-
ply this need farmers in approxi-
mately 18 States are growing and
shipping vegetables into the Phil-
adelphia market, This morning
there were over 28 different veg-
etables and about 15 fruits offer-
ed. This seems to be an “inbe-
tween season” and although there
is a wide variety there are compar-
itively few products that are plen-
| tiful and cheap,
| Potatoes are abundant and fair-
{ly reasonable in price. The East-
| ern Shore of Virginia is supplying
{most of the stock offered in Phila-
| delphia. New Jersey is shipping a
few new potatoes but so far they
| are immature and small. Water-
{ melons from Florida and cantaloup-
es from California and Arizona
[are more plentiful and are selling
at reasonable prices for this time
of year. Georgia peaches are also
abundant.
Summer apples are on the mark-
et and more plentiful. These early
apples make fine applesauce and
add variety to the menu. Prices
are fairly high but will probably
drop as the season advances. New
have been arriving
for some time and wholesale prices
are considerably lower than a
week ago. Cucumbers from the
South are plentiful and the first
ones from New Jersey were offer-
ed on Tuesday. Cabbage is high
in price and beans are also higher,

GOCSEBERRY SPREADS |
SERIOUS PINE De
The wild gooseberry and all its
currant relatives have been found
to spread the blister rust disease
This European pest
this country fifteen |
or sixteen years ago and has spread |
so widely over the white pine
range that it could not be suppres- |
sed. The fungus cannot pass fro]
one pine to another but must come
from nearby gooseberries on which |
it lives during the summer as an
orange or reddish rust on the leav-
es. There is no doubt that the
rust parasite is as unwelcome to |
the gooseberry as it is to the white |
pine tree or to forest owners, but
its own guilt in this matter cannot
be overlooked and wherever white
pines are growing it must be view-
ed with alarm.
When it comes to a choice be-
tween saving the white pine or the
humble wild gooseberry the’ latter
should be made the goat every
time, states W. A, MeCubbin, bu-
reau of plant industry, Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture.
The blister rust disease has yet but
a scanty foothold in northern Penn-
sylvania but is creeping down grad-
nally from New York and the New
England states. Everybody can
help to stop it from becoming a
menace to our future pine forests
by destroying wild gooseberries
of white pine.

herds, is the greatest in the history
of the State, according to F. P.
Willits, Secretary of Agriculture,
On June 15, 90 per cent. or
more of the herd owners in 265
townships in 36 counties had sign-
ed agreements and were awaiting
a tuberculin test under the modi-
fied area plan. In addition to the
265 townships, the owners of 23,-
125 cattle in 2864 herds had filed
applications and were awaiting a
test under the individual accredited |
herd plan.
