CORRECT INFORMATION FUR-
NISHED WEEKLY BY THE
PENNA. BUREAU OF
MARKETS FOR THE
BULLETIN
Egg Market Steady
The egg market in Philadelphia
was steady today with extra firsts
selling at 36c¢ and firsts in new
cases at 33c¢. Receipts on Tuesday
totaled 4493 cases, of which num-
ber Pennsylvania furnished 316
cases, Virginia 508 and Maryland
92,
Delaware Grapes Weaker
Delaware grapes were plentiful
on. the Philadelphia market this
morning and sold at lower prices,
according to the State and Feder-
al Bureau of Markets. These
grapes are arriving in two, four
and twelve suart baskets, with buy-
ers showing a preference for the
two and twelve quart containers.
There were a few receipts of New
Jersey grapes of poor quality,
which moved very slowly. New
Jersey peaches were in moderate
supply and the market showed a
stronger tendency, especially for
the better grades. Receipts of
Southern peaches were fully ample
for the demand, as buyers were
taking the nearby fruit. Apples
continued weak and slow while
Jersey cantaloupes moved well at
advanced prices. Maryland ecanta-
loupes were mostly of fair quality
and sold at lower prices. Penn-
sylvania sweet corn was more plen-
tiful and weaker. Tomatoes, pep-
pers and lima beans were also
weaker. The potato market was
and the demand slow.
Potatd Shipments Lighter
Weekly shipments of potatoes
during July averaged about 1,500
cars less than during the same per-
iod last year. Last week’s output
was only 600 cars less than the cor-
responding movement a year aco.
Shipments were rapidly gaining in
New Jersey, Long Island, Michigan,
Minnesota, Colorado and Idaho,
while the season was waning in Vir.
gifiia, Missouri and Kansas. The
total output for the » week ending
August 8 was 3,115 cars, including
the first shipments from Maine,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. New
Jersey took first place with 750
cars, and Minnesota ranked second
Fewer Peaches Moving
California shippers are taking ad-
vantage of the lighter production in
the East, and have forwarded about
60 per cent. more peaches than to
the: same time last year. With
Georgia and Arkansas about fin-
ished and the movement from North
Carolina, Tennessee and California
decreasing, the week’s output de-
creased rapidly to 2,865 cars. C(al-
ifornia shipped 1,520, North Caro-
lina 400, Illinois 350 and New Jer-
sey 100. The same week last year,
when the movement was delayed,
about 4,000 cars rolled to market.
Grape Season Opening Slowly
The grape movement was not in-
creasing as rapidly as last vear, dur-
ing the week ending August 8.
Only 610 cars eame from California
during the week, 30 from Arkansas
and 10 from Missouri. The Ozark
movement is earlier and heavier
than in 1924. Unfavorable weather
conditions during July reduced the
estimated grape crop 130,000 tons
to a total of 2,220,000 tons. Bulk
of the estimated decrease during
July was in California, but losses of
1,700 to 7,400 tons were reported
in Pennsylvania, Michigan and New
York.
Cantaloupe Market Improving
The cantaloupe market was strong
er and the demand more active, ac-
cording the the State and Federal
Bureau of Markets. Moderate re-
ceipts and better quality stock were
the chief strengthening factors.
Peaches sold slowly and prices were
a little lower. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey sweet corn slumped un-
der the heavy receipts. Tomatoes,
lima beans and apples were weaker.
Practically all of the New York
State lettuce continues to arrive in
poor condition and trading was only
moderate at low prices. Western
Iceberg lettuce sold slowly with a
wide range in prices.
Potatoes on the Market
Pennsylvania round whites were
quoted on the Baltimore market at
$5.00 and long whites at $4.50 per
sack. The Eastern markets were
generally dull and weak, although
supplies were only moderate. New
Jersey U. S. No. 1 Cobblers ranged
from $4.65 to $5.60 per sack. Sim-
ilar stock sold-at New Jersey ship-
ving points at $4.50 f. 0. b. The
total shipments for the country on
Wednesday amounted to 519 cars.
Pennsylvania furnished 2, New Jer-
sey 154, Long Island 74 and Min-
nesota 83.
Potato Market Slumps
The slump in the potato market
was the main feature of the Phila-
delphia fruit and vegetable market
during the past week, according to
the State and Federal Bureau of
Markets.
The chief weakening factor was
the increasing shipments of pota-
toes from the late erop producing
sections of Pennsylvania, Maine,
Michigan and Wisconsin. This slump
was general in the other Eastern
markets. The peach market was
held steady, although the demand on
Tuesday was slow. The market
closed stronger with a more active
demand. Offerings of apples have
been heavy and the market weak,
due partly to the hot weather. Let-
tuce has been largely of ordinary
quality and has sold at low prices.
Supplies of New Jersey green vege-
tables have been heavy. Lima
beans, egg plants and tomatoes
have been plentiful and weak.
Mill Feed Market Steady
The mill feed markets are steady
with offerings of wheat feeds and
corn feeds plentiful. Oil meals are
rather scarce but new-crop offerings
are increasing. The interior de-
mand is light except in some see-
tions of the Southwest. There is
little speculative interest noted in
the markets.
MARKET: Fairly active market,
vards showing good clearance. Beef
steers steady with Monday’s decline
of 25¢ to 40c lower than week ago.
Medium grade Virginia grassers pre-
dominating, top $9.80, average
weight 1220, several loads $9.25 to
$9.50, bulk $7.75-8.50. Fat heifers
showing weaker tendency. Cows,
bulls and canners sold slow but
about steady throughout the week.
Stockers and feeders closed fairly
active, receipts mostly medium
grades to sell at $5.25-6.25, few up
to $7.00 and above; practically no
| demand for feeders over 800 pounds.
"Calves steady, top vealers $13.50,
few selects $13.75.

day’s market.

Marketing Hints for Housewives
Fresh New Jersey peaches are
now one of the most attractive
“buys” on the market. August is
the month, when this fruit is most
plentiful and prices the lowest, ac-
cording to the State and Federal
Bureau of Markets. The Carman
variety is one of the most abund-
ant of the nearby peaches. It is a
white fleshed peach of fair quality,
and is desirable for spicing, for
jams and jellies. The Champion is
also plentiful and when fully ripe
is one of the sweetest peaches
grown. Both this variety and the
Carman belong to the semi-free
stone class and separate from the
stone more readily than the full
cling.
Jersey freestone varieties have
begun to appear on the Philadelphia
market in moderate quantities but
will be more plentiful later in the
month. The Hiley Belle is the
first of these to arrive. It resembl-
es the Georgia Belle since it is
white fleshed and free, but it usual
ly matures about a week earlier.
A little later the Elberta comes in-
to the market and this is the peach
that is so popular for canning. The
Hiley, the Belle and the Elberta
are all very desirable for this pur-
pose and it would be hard to say
which is best. These New Jersey
peaches are usually marketed in
five-eighth bushel baskets and house
wives will find it economical to buy
in this package for canning pur-
poses,
Southern peaches are also on the
market and the supply is fairly
liberal. As the New Jersey season
advances they are gradually being
»enlaced by the homegrown stock.
They are shipped in six basket
crates or carriers. Each basket
holds four quarts, with the number
of peaches in the basket varying
with the size. The dealer buys in
the crate and retails the small
baskets. This is an efficient method
of marketing since he does not
have to go to the expense of meas-
uring and sorting each order. This
enables him to handle them on a
small margin of profit.
Apples are another fruit that
New Jersey farmers are shipping.
There is an abundant supply and a
wide assortment of varieties and
grades. Prices are unusually low
for this season, especially on the
smaller sizes. Grapes from Dela-
ware are becoming more plentiful
and wholesale prices are falling.
Watermelons from North and South
Carolina are abundant and sell very
slowly on the Philadelphia whole-
sale market.

Can Wheat Be Made To Pay
As long as farmers in Lancaster
County grow wheat at all, their ef-
,
forts should be directed to growing
the best crop possible at the low
cost and any experience in
ment of the crop should be inter-
esting. .
The bits of truth in this article
are not to be considered as boastful
but are related in detail with the
hope that others may benefit and
that if they do so, they will be even
more successful.
J. F. Weaver, a native of Lancas-
ter County, bought in April 1924,
twelve. acres. of land along the old
Philadelphia Pike, east of Lancaster.
His neighbors freely advised him
that the land was not good, had not
been cared for for years and that
farming it would prove a failure.
It was too late in 1924 to do any-
thing but try to clean up the place,
though Mr. Weaver did succeed in
breaking up and planting four acres
in tobacco. He had no manure and
depended entirely upon commercial
fertilizer. The four acres were di-
vided into nine plots, each receiving
a different amount of fertilizer to
which, for certain plots, an increas-
ed amount of Nitrate of Soda was
added to bring the mixture up to
7-8-5 standard. This was done to
learn the value of different amounts
and the most profitable amount to
use.
The result was a surprisingly fine
crop of tobacco, going as high as
2140 pounds to the acre where an
equivalent of 2000 pounds of the
7-8-5 was applied and dropping to
975 pounds per acre where no fer-
tilizer at all was used. It is fair to
assume that the difference, or 1165
pounds of tobacco was produced by
the fertilizer which cost about $40;
in other words, that the fertilizer
made tobacco at a cost of less than
31 per pound, making a nice pro-
fit on turning fertilizer into tobacco.
