CORRECT INFORMATION FUR.
NISHED WEEKLY BY THE
PENNA. BUREAU AF
MARKETS FOR THE
BULLETIN
Potato Prices
There has been an upward trend
in potato prices since the middle of |
June, according to the State and
Federal Bureau of Markets. Com-
paritively light supplies in terminal
markets, due to a let-up in ship-
ments, as well as the presence of
much inferior quality stock have
helped hold good barreled potatoes
around the $6.00 mark. Prices in
city markets have been double and
in some instances, three times those
of the same week last season. The
prevailing range was $5.50 to $6.50
per barrel. The last report from
Eastern Shore of Virginia quoted
these potatoes at $5.75 to $6.00 f.
o. b., an advance of 40-50c over
the previous week's sales. Prices
for Eastern Shore of Virginia U. S.
No. 1’s in Philadelphia ranged from
$6.25 to $6.50 on Wednesday, while
similar stock from New Jersey in
156 pound sacks sold at $5.85. Most
of the Jersey stock, however, was
undersized.
The total movement of potatoes
during the fourth week in July was
2,880 cars, nearly 1,700 less than
shipments for the previous seven
days. About 700 cars less moved
from the Eastern Shore of Virginia,
and Kansas’ output decreased 50%.
Ships from New Jersey and the Long
Island section of New York were
more - active.
Ga. Peach Season Closing
Peach markets have been more or
less unsettled, as the sources of
supply shifted. Georgia Elbertas
sold in consuming centers at $2.25
to $2.75 per crate or bushel basket,
practically the same range as the
nrevious week. The market in
Philadelphia was steady with the
same stock quoted at $2.00 to $2.75.
California lead last week’s ship-
ments of peaches, 767 cars moving
from the Northern District and 809
from the Central District. Georgia
forwarded only 1,195 cars, or less
than 507% of the number rolled the
week before. The total output of
the country compared favorably
with the previous week but was
about 140 cars less than during the
same period last season.
Wheat Shipping Light
Pennsylvania farmers have start-
ed to market their wheat but ship-
ments to Philadelphia are light com-
pared with former years. The qual-
ity of the wheat is generally good
with over 40% grading No. 2 Red
Winter, according to the State and
Federal Bureaus. There was one
car of unusually high quality wheat
from Lancaster County that graded
No. 1 Red Winter. There was much
less garlick in the shipments than
at this time last year. Relatively
little smut was reported in the ship-
ments to Philadelphia, but many
mills have complained of smutty
wheat, especially in Lehigh county
Excessive moisture was the chief
factor in lowering the grade of
most cars. None of the cars re-
ported contained any Angoumois
moth. The nfajority of the ship-
ments were from Lancaster and
Lebanon counties, while Délaware,
Dauphin, Berks, Chester and Lehigh
were also represented. Most mills
in Pennsylvania report a fair de-
mand for wheat and are paying
$1.30 to $1.50 per bushel. The
highest prices are being paid by
mills in Lycoming county.
Cucumbers Plentiful
All sizes and grades of New Jer-
sey cucumbers are very plentiful on
the Philadelphia market. The crop
is ripening rapidly due to weather
conditions, and the supply is greater
than the market can readily utilize.
MARKETING HINTS |
FOR HOUSEWIVES
When you read the market re-
Agricultural Economics or hea
them over the radio, of what does
it make you think when you hear |
that apples are plentiful? I think |
of those old fashioned dishes that |
grandmother used to make; brown |
betty with rich cream, apple pie a-
bout two inches thick and round
flay apple dumplings.
These are just a few of the ap-
ple deserts and there are many more
just as good. New Jersey and Del-
aware farmers are shipping truck-
loads of summer apples into Phila-
delphia and prices are low. You
can buy the Yellow Transparents, an
apple with a smooth green skin that
becomes yellow as it ripens. These
are fine for cooking and when ripe
are a fair eating apple. Then there
is the Starr with the dark green
skin, blushed with a dark red. These
make excellent baking and cooking
apples. The Williams Early Red is
probably the best eating apple that
comes into the market during the
summer months, It is a beautiful
red apple striped with yellow and
has an unusually fine flavor. In some
sections of New Jersey, the growers
spread a heavy layer of straw under
the trees and allow these red apples
to remain on the tree until they
fall. The straw breaks the fall and
prevents bruising and the apples
have a much higher color and finer
flavor than when picked earlier.
Red Astrachan apples are also
offered; these are those yellow ap-
ples with the dull red stripe. They
have an acid or tart tang that makes
them especially desirable for cook-
ing and for jellies.
Prices on all grades and sizes
are reasonable but you will always
find that the smaller ones are the
cheapest. It is the small sizes that
sell slowly, forcing dealers to re-
duce their prices to the lowest lev-
els in order to move them. Buy
these for cooking and for eating and
baking purchase the larger ones.
It is claimed that there are styles
in food, just as there are styles in
clothing and I have read that apple
pie is a dish of the past, that res-
taurants in some of the larger
cities are omiting it from their
menus. 1 don’t believe that apple
pie, that is good apple pie, will
ever lose its popularity. Buy some
of these summer apples and concoct
one of those deep pies and try it
on the family.
MINING PROBLEMS DIFFERENT
A gold mine is not an everlasting
proposition—nor is any other type
of mining. The owners of a min-
ing property are usually amply re-
paid on their investment before it
is exhausted, but a new property
must be developed or our metal
supply falls off. on
The impression that existing
mines are everlasting is a danger-
ous idea. The hazards of mining
are great and the rewards should be
great.
The industry cannot be compared
with manufacturing or farming
from a production or valuation
standpoint.
Legislation or taxation which
tends to reduce the incentive for
mining or its possible profits to
the usual commercial rate of return
would ruin mining, for no one
wonld venture money on such a
basis.

CLAIMS HEN LAID 12
EGGS IN ONLY THREE DAYS
George Rice, well known Port
Trevorton citizen, claims ownership
of all cham egg layers who produced
twelve eggs in three days, a record
that cannot be surpassed anywhere,
according to the owner.
Mr. Rice insists that he has only
one chicken and when he went to
the pen a few days ago he found
six eggs in the nest. He looked
again the following day, and ther
Lime beans are coming mostly from
New Jersey, although the Eastern
Shore of Virginia and Delaware are
also shipping. Supplies of this
vegetable are increasing but the
demand is slow at present prices.
Nearby egg plants, peppers and
corn were weaker and apples were
especially dull.
Potatoes were in moderate de-
mand and prices held firm. Eastern
Shore of Virginia stock was quoted
at $6.50 to $6.75 per barrel. South-
ern peaches were plentiful and met
a slow demand. Prices were gen-
erally lower except fancy bushel
stock. Cantaloupes moved at lower
prices. Onions were more liberal
with a moderate demand. Offerings
of lettuce were light and the mar-
ket stronger. Pennsylvania cabbage
held steady under limited supplies.
Egg Market
The Philadelphia egg market was
steady with extra first quoted at
3%c and firsts in new cases at 34c
per dozen. Firsts in second hand
cases sold at 32c¢ and seconds at 30c
to 31le per dozen.
MARKET: Better grades beef
steers and fat heifers, fairly active
other classes slow. Compared with
week ago, beef steers, steady,
stronger tendency on better grades,
top $10.75, average weight 1230
pounds, bulk of sales $7.50 to
$9.25, bulk cows $3.25 to $4.75.
Stockers and feeders broader de-
mand steady to strong, medium
orades, light weights predominat-
ing, bulk of sales, $5.25 to $6.50.

Many Trees Were
Planted in Penna.
136,002 WERE SET OUT IN
LANCASTER COUNTY DUR.
ING THE PAST YEAR
DEPARTMENT SAYS
Figures compiled by the Depart-
ment of Forests and Waters show
that 1,985 tree planters set out a
total of 8,236,840 trees in Penn-
sylvania during the spring of 1925.
This is the largest number that
have been set out in one spring
planting season since the Depart-
ment began to distribute trees to
private planters. In spite of the
prolonged early summer drought.
reports show that most of these
trees are growing well and in time
will produce fine lumber.
In Lancaster county, 48 tree
planters set out 136,002 forest
trees, and in Dauphin county 61
owners of forest land planted a
total of 103,097 forest trees.
Clearfield county stands first among
the 67 counties of the State
54 tree planters, who planted 718,-
490 trees. Cambria county ranks
second with a total of 522,900
planted trees, and Indiana county
comes third with 435,745 trees.
Berks county continues in the lead
in the number of persons who set
out trees. During the past spring
90 tree planters set out a total of
325,704 trees in all parts of Berks
county. Cambria county is second
with 87 planters, and Monroe th'rd
with 84 planters.
Secretary Stuart is pleased with
the progress that forest tree plant-
ing is making in Pennsylvania. The
Department of Forests and Waters
is putting special efforts to en-
large the nurseries so that the
tree planting needs in all parts of
the State may be met. A larger
number of trees would have been
planted in the past few years if the
nurseries had been able to supply
all the demands. :
In spite of the nursery shortage,
the total output for the nurseries
during he past spring was 8,236,-
840 trees, which is more than
seventy times greater than the to-
tal number of trees planted 10
years ago.
~The growth of forest tree plant-
ing by private owners of forest
land during the last 16 years is
shown in the following table:

A conservative estimate shows
that the 8,236,840 trees set out by
private planters the past spring
will reforest approximately 8,200
acres of idle land, and when these
trees reach maturity they will pro-
duce about 290,000,000 board feet
of lumber which is urgently need-
ed by the people and industries of
the State.

NEW MILK SALES ACT
EFFECTIVE AUGUST
The new milk sales act, effective
August 4, brings the sale of milk
by producers under the supervision
of the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture in order to insure pro-
ducers that the milk is weighed |
correctly, that the sample for but-|
terfat is taken properly and finally |
that the test is accurately reported. |
Notice has been issued to all milk |
and cream dealers, testers, weighers
and samplers in Pennsylvania by
James W. Kellogg, director and
chief chemist, Bureau of Food and
Chemistry. In this notice, Mr. Kel-
logge states, “All milk and cream
dealers who have not already ob-
tained their permits for the calendar
vear 1925 under the old law are re-
quested to make application for
permits for the balance of 1925 on
the proper form ‘enclosed. The
charge for dealers’ permits is $5.00.
“All milk and cream testers and
weighers and samplers are required
to obtain a certificate of proficiency
from the Department of Dairy Hus-
bandry at State College and make
application for a license on proper
form enclosed for the balance of
1925, the charge being $3.00 each.

will not need to obtain new
nes under the new law, but all
weighers and samplers will be re-
quired to obtain licenses in order
to weigh and sample.
