WEEKLY VEGETABLE
MARKET REPORT
3By United States Department of
Agriculutre)

A touch of winter was felt in north
~ern producing sections last week,
though actual damage from frost was
probably light. Shipping point prices
of some lines. particularly onions, po-
tatoes, cabbage and northwestern ap-
pies, sagged bit. Recent market
receipts doubtless have been a little
too heavy, and sales in country dis
tricts have not been so brisk. How
ever. Iceberg type lettuce advanced
in central California and city dealers
reported sweet potatoes at a slightly
higher level. Pear prices tended
downward.
Potatoes Show Weakness.
Declines of sc to 10c per 100
pounds were common at the leading
shipping points for potatoes, though
city market prices were well main
tanned. Poor demand and slow trad
ing were reported on Round Whites
in western New York, where the F..
o. B. range was 90c to 95c, as against
sacked Green Mountains in northern
Maine at 75c. Michigan Russell Rur-
ais were bringing 70c-75c in pro-
,ducing sections of that state and the
range on northern Round Whites was
55c-65c. Colorado shippers were
getting just about the same price as
those in the north central region.
Russell Burbanks returned 75c-S0c
cash at southern Idaho points, COM
pared with Rurals at 45c-55c. Vol
ume of shipments held around $500
cars from the principal late states as
against $500 a year ago. Maine
shipped LABS during the week, New
York els, Minnesota SO and North
mostly below 400 cars each. Jobbing
sales of eastern Round Whites and
Maine Green Mountains were made
generally at $1.00-S1.5O per 100
pounds, but Long Island sacked Cob
blers and Green Mountains ruled $1.35
in New York City. Although some
stock was arriving in poor condition,
the Chicago carlot market on north
ern Round Whites was firm at Soc
9Oc, with Early Ohios bringing S5c-
$1.00, Idaho Russets strong at $1.75-
$500 and Rurals at $1.30. Relatively
light supplies are reaching Chicago
from Idaho.
Cabbage Moving Slowly.
Cabbage markets did not show
much strength, though prices were
still about double those a year ago.
Danish type ruled S3O-$32 per ton
at western New York points, with
Domestic type at $27. City dealers
quoted these two kinds respectively
at $3.50 and at S3O--$33 ton.
Northern Danish was quoted in some
markets at $3O-$33, while Domestic
type from the north sold at $25-$2S.
Producing sections of southeastern
Wisconsin reported S21-$23 as the
F. o. B. range on Danish stock. Much
Wisconsin cabbage was going into
storage. Total shipments for the
week decreased one-fourth to $50 cars,
where as last season the correspond
ing figure was 1,610 cars. Wisconsin
started 425 to market, New York 225
and Minnesota 1875 cars. Cabbage
paintings in the lower Rio Grande
Valley of Texas probably will equal
or may exceed the 10000 acres of last
season.

One on the Scotch.

Sandy took his wife and baby to a
show. They went early and so got
good seats down in the first row.
The show had been advertised as being
a double bill" and the feature pic
ture was supposed to be great.
Just as Sandy and his wife got
themselves comfortably fixed in their
places to enjoy the show, the baby
started to cry. 1t would not be COM
forted-it howled. After a moment
or two an usher came down the aisle
and said to Sandy. eff that baby cries
again I'll have to ask you to step to
the box office and get your money
back"
For the next hour and half the
baby slept while Sandy and his wife
enjoyed the show. When there was
nothing left on the bill but the aero
batic closing act, Sandy leaned toward
his wife and said:
Laurie, will We stick tn BARN wi
a pin?"-Domestic Engineering.

POTATOES FOR HOGS

Editors Note-Here's an interest
ing question which was answered
in a recent issue of "The
Farmer" of st. Paul:
H. S., Pine county, Mimi, writes:
"Are potatoes a good feed for hogs?
Will they take the place of corn in a
fattening ration? What other feed is
necessary to make balanced ration?
We would have oats, milk and alfalfa
leaves from the hay crop that would
be fed. Can potatoes be used extern
sively in a ration for brood sows?"

ments in stocks and secondarily ths
continued rate of 4l2 per cent fol
money. a large over-subscription to the
last Offering of Treasury notes and the
small number of dollar value of new
bond issues,
The most activity in today'S session
was in group of industrials and specu-
iattve rails. The former was irregular
and the latter strong.
Andes Copper Is ran up to i24 from
Mondays closing of 122is, but lost
most of the gain. Liquid Carbonic IS
were of 2i2 points from the last pre-
viouS price and Hudson Coal SIS at
the lowest of the movement. North
American Cement 6ies improved fur
ther on the consolidation talk. Dodge
6s were up half. the bonds of sugar
producing and refining companies were
heavy while those of several OF the
independent iron and steel nianufac-
turerS were firm.
In the rail list the leadership was
maintained by the St. Paul general IS
and adjustment SIS. Both touched new
high prices Chicago. Terre Haute and
eastern adjustment 5S advanced ;. in
sympathy with the ST. Paul group. of
which they were part. Western Mary
land As touched SO, the best in some
weeks, and Florida East Coast SIS rose
70 81. The Seabord issues were Quieter
and with no pronounced trend During
most of the recent sessions they have
declined on liquidation, but have been
bid up for strong closing.
Foieign bonds were steady. German
Central Bank IS, which have now been
fairly we'll distributed. had an early
advance of half point. City Of Yoko-
hama IS and Uruguay IS. both dupli-
Gated their previous high around 90.
There were slightly recessions in Chill

Finland IS were exceptionally strong.
1t is expected that there will be large

by France and will be discussed at con-
ferences here between American bank
ers and the newly srived French finan-
cial experts.
The conditions in the stock market
since Thursday. have weaned away quite
number of traders from bonds and
reduced the volume OF public dealings
in The market. just as Ii had begun to

REPUBLICANS SEEKING
In SOUTHERN STATES
[COnfinued from first bagel

Six weeks after the election to
sum up, the conservative chairman
of the Republican Party, who in the
campaign, put most emphasis upon
the Coolidge type of administration,
so popular in the business East,
and relied on anti-Smith sentiment
to take care of the Party nominee
I in the South and West, now is
about to appear in the role of lib
eral, in the calculated belief that
liberalism will appeal to most of
the millions of voters who have
definitely acquired the habit of in
dependence of party in National
elections-a habit never more con-
spicuously illustrated than it was
in November.
1t is important news in the South
to be able to say that it is practic-
ally determined that Walter Cohen,
cOlOred collector of Customs for
the port of New Orleans, will not be
reappOinted, but will be succeeded
by white man. Along the same
line, the Republican leaders do not
conceal their satisfaction over the
recent indictment of several prom
inent Party workers, including one
or two Negro committeeman in
Southern States, for law violations.
The view is that the plight in which
these workers find themselves
makes it easier for Mr. Hoover to
inaugurate the policy of appointing
white men to such places.
In order to avoid the charge of
race discrimination, it is the pur-
pose of Mr.. Hoover's Party advisors
to support the suggestion that he
colOred men to office in
States of the North and Middle
West rather than in the South.
1t is interesting to repeat a
statement made by Chairman Work
to the effect that in his term of
service as Postmaster General he |
appointed only one Negro postmas-
ter in the South. This was in the !,
case of an office on an island off |
he South Carolina coast, where all !
he patrons are colored He reap
pointed the Negro originally ap-
pointed by President Wilson, Demo-
:rat.
Milford chronicle., 1928-12-28
ENLARGE JAP BEETLE
QUARANTINE AREA
[Continuea frem frlt taael

ditiOnS will include, for PennsylVa-
mia, Perry county, in which the town
of Marysville is located; for Con-
necticut, the city of New Haven and
certain adjacent townships; for Del
aware, all of the State north of Sus-
sex county, and for Maryland, the
northeast corner of the State, in
cluding most of Cecil county.
In addition to such spread which
is directly connected with the pre-
Wous Japanese beetle area, a con-
siderable number of isolated spots
of spread remote from each general
area have been determined during
the past two years.
with respect to such points, the
Secretary approves the policy of
treating them as separate control
units rather than to include them by
a broad extension of the quarantine
lines in the general quarantine area.
This action is necessarily condition
ed upon cooperation by the State
concerned acceptable to the depart
ment and is in accord with policies
which hitherto have been followed
in connection with their plant quar-
antine.
The outlying points of infegtation
concerned in this announcement, the
department explained, are as fol-
lows:
Hagerstown, Frederick, Cambridge
and Delmar, Md. Lewiston and
Sayre, Pa; Hartford and New Lon
don, Conn; Springfield, Mass, and
Washington, including Arlington
county, Va.
"At several of these points only
one or two beetles have been found"
the department said.
"Such points are Hagerstown, one
beetle; Frederick, two, and Lewiston, {
one. In the case of Cambridge, fif- :
teen beetles were found; Sayre, four !
teen; New London, eleven; Hartford, |
twelve. At none of these towns has
there been any determination of soil |
but the numbers of
beetles would indicate such possi-
bilities."
The points where definite soil in
have resulted include, not
ably, Washington, Baltimore and
Springfield, the announcement said.

SUSSEX WILL BACK
c. W. MESSICK FOR
SPEAKER OF HOUSE
[Continusd from frrr pGsel

w. G. Swain, of Bridgeville, and l.
d. Short, of Milford. The commit
tee met with Kent and New Castle
county leaders on Wednesday and
an agreement was reached regarding
the several offices to be filled when
organization is effected.
For some time there has been
talk that former State Senator Jas.
F. Alice, Jr., of Dover, may be
named one of the attorneys for
either the Senate or the House.
William Wintrup, of Wilmington.
Speaker of the House two years ago,
is also talked of for clerk to the
speaker. 1t is probable that shift
will be made whereby he will be
made chief clerk of the Senate. In
addition to these offices each house
will also have the election of a
clerk for the presiding officers, a
reading clerk, chief clerk, bill
clerk, document clerk, telephone
messengers, attorneys and steno-
graphers.
Mrs. Frank Hall Davis, of Dover,
who was bill clerk of the House
two years ago, is again talked of.
for that position.
Alfred E. Archer, of Milford, who
served as secretary of the Senate
several years ago, is again talked
OF for that position. Archer will in
all probability be made Parliamen-
tartan to the President Protein of
the Senate.
John H. Wigglesworth of Brandy
wine Hundred, is said to be cam
didate for reading clerk of the
House.
Members of the Legislature and
political leaders of the two parties
will go to Dover on Monday night,
December 81, for caucuses. The two |
houses of the Legislature will meet |
to organize at noon on Tuesday, |
January l. Should they organize |
promptly Governor Robinson will
deliver his final message to the
that afternoon.
The organization of the Legisla
ture and Inauguration of the incOm-
ing Governor C. Douglas Buck, both
come unusually early this time. The
state constitution provides that the
Legislature meet for organization
he first Tuesday of the year and
hat the new governor be inaugur-
lted the third Tuesday. This means
hat the Inauguration comes but two
weeks after the Legislature organ
zes.
1t has been the usual custom for
he Legislature to recess until the
Monday after organizing
o allow the presiding officers time
o make up their standing, commit
ees. AS the Legislature names
