BLACKBIRD
Apples Plentiful But Low Prices
Worry Farmers

Blackbird, July 13.-Early apples
have made their appearance in the To-
cal market, and growers say they
have the heaviest crop for many
years. They are mostly what are
known as the Yellow Transparent var
iety, which have ripened large. Efforts
are being made to have them picked
despite the scarcity of labor. Grow
ers who have large crops of early ap-
pies say that the price of fifty cents a
basket, or one dollar a hamper, will
not permit them to pay four dollars a
day for pickers. Baskets cost seven
teen cents and covered hampers thirty
cents, and it is hard to avoid a loss.
The present crop could be used for
cider, but the mellow variety has but
little juice, ripens quickly, falls to the
ground and rots soon.
Almost everywhere apples can be
had for the taking in almost any
quantity, but the demand is not great
as the price of sugar-thirty cents a
pound and scarce-compels the house
wives to "put up" very little fruit.
The scarcity of sugar resulted in the
waste of most of the dewberry crop.
1t was one of the largest for many
years, the size was never larger and
they ripened evenly.
Local hucksters who handle cher
ries and berries were forced to aban-
don selling because of the handicap
of no sugar.
Eggs are in great demand because
OF their scarcity and are selling at
from sixty to sixty-fve cents a dozen.
The outlook is that the poultry supply
Will be short because of the high price
of grain.
