'Market reports dry? Not on your
life" exclaimed Haskins. Reading
them saved me $125 last week on my
potatoes. OF course the reports were
dry until got on to how to read them,
but, believe me, now think they are
about the most interesting reading
there isl
This veteran reader of market re-
ports on this particular morning was
sizing up the potato situation, since he
had potatoes to sell. The manner in
which he DID it illustrates pretty well
how to use market reports intelligent
ly. He began by taking up the latest
daily schedule of potatoes and looked
over the report from the leading mar
ket, namely, Chicago. He noted that
car lots were quoted at Is cents per
hundredweight lower than the day be-
fore. Then, glancing at the reports
from Minneapolis, Kansas City, New
York, Boston, and Philadelphia, he
learned that the prices in these cities
had declined but little.
Finding Cause OF Decline.
Seeking the cause of the weakness in
the Chicago markets he observed rec
Ords of heavy arrivals of potatoes from
Minnesota, Michigan and other north
ern shipping states, and concluded that
the drop was caused by these large Of
ferings reaching the nearest leading
market, in conjunction with heavy sup
plies from other producing sections.
He also found mention of some poorly
graded stock which, in all probability,
added to the unfavorable market sit
uation.
Turning to his file of daily reports
for the past week and the Weekly Re
view issued by the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture, he concluded that the decline
marked a general downward trend.
Consequently he glanced over the re
ports from the leading producing sec
lions supplying Chicago, and found
that the trend of f. o. b. prices was
also downward at such important po-
tato centers as Waupaca, Wis; Moore
head, Mimi; Grand Rapids, Mich, and
I'm the Grand Junction district of Colo

RADIO; also that hauling and shipping
were active at these points.
Review of Situation.
Evidently the western crop is now
moving fast" Haskins said to himself,
'and the Chicago car-lot market has
been the first to feel the effect in a
marked degree
Rapidly he went over in his mind the
crop conditions, aided by the car-lot
summary, Weekly Reviews, and a spe-
cial article on the potato situation in
recent issue of a farm paper.
He noted the size of the crop COM
pared with the previous year and the
amount shipped from each state for the
season, to date. Nor did the attitude
of growers, buyers and shippers escape
his attention. He took into account
the car supply and the weather condi-
tons which, at that particular time,
were both fairly favorable. He noted
conditions in eastern shipping sections
and consuming markets.
Having reviewed the whole situation,
with the aid of market data such as
any producer can secure with little
trouble, he was able to reach an in
C01ugenL CONCLUSION. experienced as
he was, he detected the ''hinge" on
which the market was turning and said
to himself: Chicago car lots are off
another dime; the market is going
down. All things considered, as the
weakness isn't extreme, think will
hold on to my potatoes a little longer,
for believe things will look better in
a few days"
Summarizing Many Facts.
To size up the situation for pota-
toes or any other crop at any time re-
quires the quick balancing of many
facts and causes. No general instruc-
lions can be given to fit all cases.
The way to learn to use market re-
ports is to begin and use them. Ex-
pertness comes with practice. In time
one is able to read between the lines
and to "feel'' the market from indica-
tons that may mean little to the be-
ginner. Patience and alertness in
studying market reports, including
those in the daily papers, those issued
by the bureau of markets and those
found in weekly periodicals, will bring
its reward.

BELONG TO HOLIDAY SEASON
Christmas Festivities Would Not Be
Complete Without the Holly and
the Miet.stce.

Several thousand tons Of holly as
well as hundreds of tons of mistietoe
are shipped over the railroads each
year before the opening of the holi-
day season. The mistletoe is placed
In small packages because it is easy
to break off the tiny white bells, and
the plant is more rare and costly.
Holly abOunds all over the world,
over 100 species having been deter
mir ed, but only IA varieties are to be
found in the United States. The finest
American species of holly is the Hex
Opaca. but the mountain holly is also
a choice variety. The English holly
has a sturdier leaf. and a more vivid
and lustrous green. The wood of the
holly Is very hard and smooth in the
grain, and is almost equal to box
wood for engraving purposes, while
fits leaves are the emblem of fore
thought because of the protection Civ
en- to the buds by the defensive
thorns.
The holly, however, is not so high
~ priced for the Christmas season as
the mistIetoe, which is rare, delicate
and beautiful and the source of many
ancient Druidic legends. In the Unit
ed States mistletoe is chiefly found in
the southern states. while that used
I'm England is chiefly produced in the
orchards of Normandy. 1t is also the
state flower Of Oklahoma.
