 Corn sold at $1.75 to $2 per 100 ears. Tomatoes, $1-$1.15 basket and SIPS crate Wild grapes are coming in limited quantities at ,$1 a basket. They make excellent jelly.
 The drying of all kinds of fruits and vegetables has been advised and urged by the United States Depart meth of Agriculture this year and may possibly be demanded by. Hoover, the food supervisor. The reasons for this aside from war necessity of food conservation above the average are that this method of preserving is very economical os space and weight for storing or shipping, and does not require as a rule any special container. Among the fruits that can be easily and successfully. dried peaches stand at the head. Made into pies, sauces, ices in the winter they make a very delicious dessert.
