Yesterday was a bad one for the locai
 merchants, the conditions of weather
 making it bad overhead and under foot The food board made numerous changes
 yesterday. among which were plain flour,
 pork, hams. bacon, lard, corn meal but
 ter, eggs, sweet potatoes, onions, ruta-
 bagas and cheese.
 Fresh eggs were put back on the list
 yesterday as few shipments were re celved. Country eggs are very scarce, 7 said Paul Earle. food administrator for Jefferson county, but the impression
 among the merchants that We have lifted the lid on fresh eggs is erroneous, and the board is still allowing the same min. mum and maximum profit on the output of the hen. Of course we cant control supply and demand, and when the market is bare all the board can do is to elim- mate quotations and at such times sky country egg will be a problem all winter The market is very short" Poultry Fryers-2 pounds and under, Soa40c.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 26.-The market today was almost counterpart of yes- terday. An early advance on a mod crate Liverpool demand and some buy Ing by local traders was subsequently, lost, when these buyers tried to real ize. Enough selling comes each day from the south to supply the demand, but it cannot be said that this selling Is in any large volume or would be much noticed in normal times. The north and west will no longer buy cotton for speculation or investment, because they are much impressed with the unsettle- ment in the goods trade and the inabil- ity of the mills to fill the place of the former government orders with ci- william orders at the same high price
 The south will not sell because it is impressed with the shortage of cot- ton and goods outside the United States which leads to hopes of renewed high prices. The result is partial deadlock with just enough liquidation of specu- latively held cotton, both contracts and spots. to cause narrow market to gradually sag.

 Sales amounted to 650,000 shares. 4 Exchange on allied centers was dull and unaltered, but remittances to neu- were higher. Swiss and Spanish bills also hardening. The one adverse fea- ture was the bond market, where quo- tations shaded generally on further pressure against Liberty issues, the fourth 414s making another new low record at 97.0S.

SWEET CORN IS
VALUABLE CROP
State Expert Gives Opinions
in Regard to Usefulness
of the Grain

One of the late crops of much
value that can be grown on quite a
number of farms is sweet corn, and
one of the best varieties is the Ever
green. This is a standard variety
and has been grown for at least
forty years successfully. On quite
a number of farms in southeastern
pennsylvania, the evaporating of
sweet corn has become quite an in
dustry.
by planting about every two
weeks. you can have sufficient good,
fresh roasting ears for at least two
and one-half months" says j. Aldus
Herr, farm adviser of the State De.
partment of Agriculture. 1T re-
quires very small plot of ground
to furnish sufficient corn for the
average family and, what cannot be
used fresh, can be sold on the mar
ket or evaporated for future use. It
is one of the crops that should be
included in all gardens and most
households can grow their own
supply at less cost than purchasing
at the store. 1t can be planted
where early potatoes are taken up
as late as July 4th. in southeastern
Pennsylvania. In higher attitudes
the planting season probably should
be a little earlier.
Ninety days of good CROWNS
weather from planting time should
give you corn for use in the roastine
ear stage. Those who wish to plant
late should secure their supply OF
seed corn as it, like all good seed
corn. is very scarce. Quite a mum
Der of farmers, after making clover
hay, turn down the sod and make
good seed bed and plant to sweet
corn for late use. This will not ma
ture but will make a fine lot of fresh
roasting ears late in the season. Ar
application of acid phosphate OF
three hundred pounds per acre
would greatly aid the development OF
the ear and hasten the maturity OF
the crop.
"At least 20, bushels of sweet
corn were evaporated last season in
Lancaster county alone. and orders
| for most of it had been received
early in the season. Evaporated corr
is much preferab BILE to canned corr
and is easier kept. Containers fol-
the evaporated article are not as
expensive as when canned, which Is
quite an item, especially since meta
is so scarce.
Crops of this kind go a great way
towards keeping the farmers table
