Potato Movement Heavy
As Growers Dig Crop
REVIEW OF THE WISCONSIN 20.
TATO MARKET FOR THE
WEEK SEPT. 1922 INC.

During the week under considers
the United States was very heavy
The country as a whole shipped 632S
cars with Minnesota the heaviest con
tributor. This state shipped 1846 cars
while Maine was second with 1852
cars. Other important shipping states
together with the number of cars ship
ped were as follows: North Dakota
$40 cars; Colorado ass Idaho S66, Wis
consin 1853, South Dakota 1873 and Mich
! igan 166.
OF the Wisconsin shipments by far
the greater bulk was billed to Chicago
that market receiving $50 cars of the
total number shipped from the state.
Other receiving points for Wisconsin
stock together with the number of
cars received were as follows; Joliet
ILL.,, 20, Blue Island IA, Rockford, ILL.,,
8; Pittsburg, Pa, 5; New Orleans, La,
Louisville, KY, 8; Knoxville, Tenn,
2; and Indianapolis, Ind.,1. The ship
ments received by Joliet and Blue Is
land were probably all diverted to
other points.
During the week the shipping point
market through the state was general
ly weak with prices following down
ward trend. The weather was moder-
ate with more or less rainfall, while
haulings were light the forepart of
the week but gradually increased to
moderate proportions through the lat
ter half. At Waupaca farmers receiv
ed 1.25 per cwt. for bulk Round Whites
U. S. no. l through Monday and Tues
Iaay but by Saturday this price had
been reduced to 9Oc. The other more
important loading. stations through
Wisconsin opened at 10 to 1.40 per
cwt., but were down to 75c to 81 90
by Saturday. The F. o B car lot price
also suffered a gradual decline. On
Monday sacked Round Whites u. S.
no. 1 car lot delivered freight only de-
Quoted were selling at 1.55 to 1.65 per
cwt. BY Wednesday, this price was
1.5O and by Saturday 10 to 125.
The Chicago market likewise was
weak and dull through most of the
week The average number of cars on
track at the beginning of trading eacl
morning was 300; while Wisconsin ar
rivals averaged 81 cars daily. There
was very little difference between the
price of sacked and bulk stock. Wis
consin sacked and bulk Round Whites
U. no. / opened this week at 1.65 to
LIS per cwt for car lots cash track
and then declined stadily until Satur
day when the same stock was selling
at 125 to 1.S5.
Practically all other terminal mar
kets we're weak and slow with grad
ual price decline for the period under
consideration.-W. H. Mosier, Local
Representative, Federal Bureau of
Markets, Waupaca, Wis.

SOdatOl Is Unavailable;
Last Picric Acid Here
COUNTY AGENT GIBSON SECURES
LAST CAR OF PICRlc ACID
FROM GOVERNMENT

Villas county farmers should at
once arrange to get supply of picric
acid from car expected here about
October Is. Last week County Agent
Gibson went to Madison to find out
when some of the new explosive that
is known as sodatol could be expect
ed as a result of orders placed for it.
He was told that the demand was SO
greatly in excess of the production
that there was not much probability
of any reaching Villas county this
year. He was offered the last carload
of picric acid owned by the govern
ment and decided to take it as it has
proved very satisfactory in every way
BY reason of being obliged to disap-
point him and Villas county farmers
in not furnishing the other explosive
the picric acid was sold to him at the
same price that was to have been
paid for the sodatol, or $685. a 100
pounds This will permit it to be sold
here for 7 cents, or four cents under
what it has previously cost. There is
absolutely no more to be had at any
price and for that reason farmers who
have land to clear should leave their
orders at the Farmers & Merchants
State Bank as soon as possible as
there have been several ton lots
spoken for and the car will only con-
tain 22,500 pounds.

to supply the calls from the shop
workmen large supply of genuine
Ford parts is carried in the stock
room at all times and at times will
inventory $4,000.
When planning for the building last
year they thought the present build
ing would answer their needs for a
long time to come, but have found
with the increase in business in the
new quarters that they will soon have
to build an addition which they are
fortunately able to do at any time as
they own the remainder of the lot so
that they can double their space
when they so desire.
The building is substantial i'm
provement to the village.

y. S. Electric Lines
Show An Increase

Chicago, May 11-(By A. P.)-The
net income of 225 electric railway
companies in this country, operating
2l.4S4 miles of single track, increased
from S22,S52,418 in 1921 to $37,237,6SO
IN l922. according to reports made
by these companies to the American
Electric Railway Association.
These companies operate 1859
miles OF track in cities and 1906
miles in interurban territory and
their combined revenues amount to
about one-half OF the total electric
railway earnings in the industry.
The operating ratio of this eroup
or companies dropped from 1884 per
cent In 1921 to 1856 percent in 1922.
The report says:
The increase in the net income
amounting in actual money to $14.-
3So,2b2. means that the electric rail-
ways are steadily beating back to a
position where they can hope eventu-
ally to pay fair return on the money
now invested.

Federal Game
Warden COnfers
with Maine DEBT.

Albert II. Stadlmeir of Providence,
X. l.. federal game warden, was a
visitor at the Department of Inland
Fisheries and Game Friday. Mr..
Stadlmeir came to Augusta for a
special conference with the Depart
ment of Inland Fisheries and Game
with reference to the large shipment
OF partridge made from Washington
county some time since This is the
shipment which Warden Cushman
seized at Portland, the birds being
SHIPPED in trunk checked from IIar-
rington. Me. to New York. Some
very interesting developments Of this
case are expected in the not far dis
tant future, the details Of which can
not, OF course, at this time, be made
public by the officials.
Mr.. Stadlmeir also took up with the
department several shipments Of
beaver skins which appear to have
been made to points outside Of Maine
in violation of our State law, and it
is expected. through evidence fur
nished by the federal warden. that
the State will be able to apprehend
violators of the beaver law in Maine.
Mr.. Stadlmeir expressed himself as
being highly pleased with tho SPLEEN
did cooperation which exists between
the State of Maine and his depart
ment, and much appreciates the aid
rendered by Names Department in
the investigation of these illegal ship
ments.
