STATES CROP OF APPLES
RUNS ABOVE ESTIMATE
Market Report Urges Use of Less
Fancy Brands to Secure
Harvest

The United States food administration
for Pennsylvania. in cooperation with the
State Bureau of Markets. sends out the fol-
lowing forecast about supplies of fruits and
vegetables for the present week:
The potato. celery, cabbage, apple and
grape harvests continue in full force. The
bulk of these products will not be marketed
Immediately. but will be stored away for
winter use. The late apple crop in the west
ern and central apple sections of the State
is much better than was expected Much Of
this fruit will waste in the orchards unless
there Is more demand for other than strictly
fancy fruit. Poor color or few skin
blemishes do not lessen the food value of the
fruit.
The cool nights even though not accom-
panied by frosts are retarding the develop
ment of the later fall crops. The movement
to market Of all perishable vegetables will
be noticeaby lighter from now on.
Pittsburgh and nearby markets will have
the last of the late varieties of lima and
string beans in addition to a good supply OF
cabbage. celery. peppers. squash, tomatoes.
pumpkins, potatoes and other root crops.
Southeastern Pennsylvania markets are
receiving good quantities of the late string
beans. sweet corn. eggplants, tomatoes. car
rots. beets. onions. sweet potatoes and
turnips.
The curb markets of Philadelphia will
beginning next Tuesday. and will remain
open until p. m. The order is effective for
every day of the week except Saturday when
the market will remain open untl d. in
This change is due to the fact that during
the month OF october the Wholesale markets
were expected to open at a. m, but pending
the action OF the fuel administration this did
not go into effect. Therefore, II will be
necessary to advance the opening hour of
the curb markets one hour, The present
time for opening Is $3.50 a. m. Due notice
OF any change in the hours of opening and
closing wlll te given.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
APPEALS TO LABOR
Men in Industries, Especially
Miners, Must Be Patriots.

WARRINGTON. Aug. 29.-Cardinal. Glib
bons i'm a letter to Fuel Administrator
Garfield made public tonight suggests
that the clergy and neighbors OF men
exempted from army service for in
dustrial reasons may aid in getting the
coal miners to speed up.
The very fact that We have con-
scription puts responsibility on every
man in the country either to fight or to
work as the Government may think
most necessary for the common good"
the Card nal says.
|. THE very fact that certain kinds OF
workers are put In deferred CLASH
! fcation is to my mind an indication to
them that their real duty is to do that
particular kind of work because through
the particular kind Of work which they
can perform the country will be more
greatly helped and the war more easily
won.
But just as II is the duty OF those
who are called to fight to fight bravely
and TO allow their patriotism to be the
inspiring principle OF their courage so
1t IL necessary that those who work
should work in the same strenuous and
patriotic manner"
