MARKET NOW
IN RESTLESS SHAPE
Sentinel Special Service

Sentinel Special Service.
New York, Oct. S.-The apple
market is in anything but good
shape. The storm Wednesday prac-
tically put salesmen out of business,
while the Jewish holiday Thursday
cut into sales heavily. The weeks
business will not make good show
ing. There is steady flow from
the Hudson river section of under
grade fruit, and very few receipts
can class as fancy. The outlook,
however, is fair for fancy grades,
and large operators consider the sit
uation as generally encouraging.
They say that with the foreign mar
iet taking the surplus on this side,
should run on an even, steady, firm
basis through the 4 season. High
prices are not encouraging to the for
eign demand and one or two German
operators, who return home this
this week, say thatbthe movement
will be much curtailed, unless there
is a decline.
AS fancy fruit has already reach
ed the cost price of practically $4.25
to $3.50, holders will naturally take
no chances on the foreign market,
as this is very near what good ap-
pies will bring on the other side.
Practically all of the grade
goods has passed out of the farmers
hand, and is now owned by specula-
tors and strong operators.
Hudson river fruit is coming free
ly, and this section is practically the
only one shipping here. Baldwins
are selling $3.50 to SO; Greetings,
s2.25 to SO; Holland and Fall Pip
pins, $3.50 to 81; Red Mcintosh,
$3.50 to $5, and Alexanders and
Wolf Rivers, 81 to $3.50.
Several cars of Washington and
Oregon boxed apples were offered at
auction this week The market is
trifle easier. The fruit was of a
remarkably good quality. Free from
worms, although many apples are
understood, owing to the hot wealth
er during the growing season. Re-
ports from all over the northwest
speak of fine quality, and mail ad-
vices state that there are many buy
ers purchasing crops. At Medford
they. are paying sL50 to s1.75 for
Newtowns The Rogue River Fruit
and Produce association, at Portland,
sold its first car of Newtowns last
week to an eastern buyer at $2.25
(. O. b. This car has already been
shipped. The demand is strong, es-
peclally for Newtowns.

21,O53 Cars Was
Caused By Frost
On Pacific Coast

Commission men arriving from
the coast state that the citrus move
ment from Nov. 1, 1872, to Sept. 23,
1913, in California reached only
1881 cars, according to the report
just issued and compared with 49,
574 ears the preceding year, shows
the tremendous falling off, caused by
last winters bitter cold wave.
There was a decrease of 1880
ears of lemons from southern Cali
fornia alone. 1900 cars from the
central portion and altogether the
state shipped 21,053 carloads of cit
rus fruit than the year before. The
falling off in Mesa county's crop
looks like drop in the bucket com
the coast.

CLEANS UP $1,000
ON FIVE CARS OF
LOCAL JONATHANS

The Chicago Produce News tells
of man named John Russell who
pulled off a splendid fruit deal by
buying five cars of Jonathan apples
from the Grand Junction association
paying s1.40 and s1.60, cleaning up
cool loco on the deal, after he
had disposed of his purchases. Mr.
Russell also pulled off a good deal
in Utah. operating in Utah peaches
for the first time.
He handled 20 cars in bushel bas-
kets, which was new deal for Utah.
He did well on the peaches and says
that the close of the season will
show that he shipped 200 cars of
fruit and will clean up at least S40,-
coo on the season. This seems TO
be goodly profit looking from the
orchardist's viewpoint.

PEAR SHAPED APPLES
MAKE HIT IN new YORK
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
New York, Oct. Samples of
Baldwins from western New York re-
ceiyed by various local operators this
week, show most attractive apple.
There is quite a change in the shape
compared with last year, when the
fruit was generally flat at both stem
and blossom ends.
This years Baldwins closely re-
somble high grade western fruit and
are almost pear shaped. Fancy fruit
will, therefore, be in greater demand
for the stand trade and will pack in
boxes to better advantage. Samples
recently received are smooth well
filled, and show little effects from
the drouth. If anything, the long
July-August drouth improved the
color and flesh rather than injured
it.
Buyers who returned this week
from western New York report that
interior operators are crazy In their
views. These buyers admit that ship
pers are receiving scores of orders,
which have to be turned down,
whereas last October the reverse was
true. All kinds OF prices rule, one
buyer being reported as paying 81
for Baldwins. taking an entire large
orchard on that basis.

RAISE SORGHUM SUCCESSFULLY
canaan Farmer Harvested About 90
Tons Last Fall

There Is at least one man In Maine
who has proved that sorghum can
be raised successfully in The eastern
states. Josiah Fernald of Canaan.
has had his efforts this year crowned
with tremendous success. About
Sept. |, he cut the crop from an ex-
perimental acre and harvested 1000
punches. The man who helped load
the bundles on to wagon insisted
that they weighed - pounds each
but even If they weighed but go pounds
there were at least 80 tons of the finest
kind of fodder from that one acre,
SAYS the American Cultiyator.
Mr.. Fernald planted his sorghum on
piece Of slaty loan that until the
year previous had not been plowed
for at least forty years. It was
planted to corn and potatoes in 1919,
and Mr.. Fernald put in the sorghum
May 81 of this year. He used a corn
planter and put the seed in drill 80
inches apart. Along with the seed
went 1900 pounds of high grade com
mercial fertilizer, no barn dressing
being available either last year or this.
The seed came quickly, but so did
the weeds. Mr.. Fernald went through
the piece with one-horse cultivator
late in June, and then took the weeds
out of the drills with a garden rake
The sorghum plants rooted so deep
that it was possible to run the iron
rake over the row in a fashion to kill
every weed, but not injure the crop in
the slightest degree That was all
the cultivation the sorghum got. al
though Mr.. Fernald had intended to
cultivate it again. Between seed time
and harvest was just "a days, and in
that time the stuff grew to be about
ten feet tall. Mr.. Fernald says that
he never raised so much forage with
so little labor before in his life.
A bushel of seed was used in plant
ing the acre, and that cost three dol
lars and a dollar and a half for
freight. When cured sufficiently to
keep. Mr.. Fernald will have at least
ten tons of sorghum fodder. The
feeding value of this plant is said TO
be very high, and Mr.. Fernald pro-
poses to try it on his several kinds
of stock this winter. His neighbors
are looking on with the utmost pos
sibe interest. Bangor Commercial.

Names Fire Loss for 1912 Was 3d.
066,393

The preliminary report of the Maine
insurance commissioner. made public
recently shows that the total fire
losses in the State for year 1912
amounted to $3,O66,39S This amount
states the report, will be increased a
slight amount by figures of fires which
occurred during the latter part OF
December, reports of which have not
yet reached the commissioner. These
totals will not, however. be greatly
changed.
The amount of insurance which was
paid upon fire losses during 1912 in
Maine amounted, according to the re-
port, to SIG. 349, leaving net loss
from fire in Maine for the year above
insurance of $1,244,051.
Since 1897 the fire loss in Maine has
exceeded that of 1912 but three times
Included in theses three larger years
is 1911, when the great Bangor fire o.
April 80 destroyed over 100000
worth of property.

to confess to ignorance on such an
important occasion was to invite the
distrust OF those who had begun to
believe that the prophesying of the
weather is an exact science
More serious, however, was MIR.
Moore's wrong sidedness In the CON
troYersy over the question whether
forest cover has any effect upon
stream flow. At the suggestion of
the chairman of the House Commit
tee on Agriculture, Mr.. Moore in 1909
prepared a report on the influence of
forests on the climate and on flood.
In this report the author acknow-
lodged n change of opinions. which he
declared had come about as the result
of "a careful study of our own and
history Appearing before this same
committee to oppose the Weeks APP
palachain bill, he reiterated his views,
which, it may be said, ran directly
counter to the views of scientific men
all over the world.
WHAT MOORE HAS DONE
Under the leadership of Mr.. Moore
the task of forecasting the weather
of the United State has been greatly
simplifled The number of weather
stations has, as nigh be expected,
been increased tremendously.
Through its agency 100000 Ameri-
can farmers are placed in telephone
communication every day with trained
observers whose duty it is to warn
them of sudden or important changes
Through the same agency, the mari
ners are warned of approaching
storms. In the great river valleys
the weather service watches the fluc-
tuation of the floods. Under Mr.
Moore the Weather Bureau has be-
come international in scope. 1t
hears, for instance, each day from
Seydisjord, Iceland, from st. Peters
burg in Russia, from Irkutsk in Siber-
ia, from Azores Islands, from the Ber-
mudas, from Great Britain, from near
ly every country in Europe, from the
West Indies, from dozens of places in
Mexico, from scores in Canada, and
from more than 200 cities in the I'm
tied States.
The cost of this service is in the
neighborhood of $1,5O0,000 year. over
against this fact is set the fact that
a single cold wave warning once
saved $15,OOO,O0O worth of property
and many lives in the Mississippi Val
