VICTORY FUND
 COES0VER TOP
s mith Elated At
 Success of Drive

Waterbury's Victory Fund quota of $3,500 has been raised. This was the information emanatinB to-day from democratic state headquarterA in Hartford. J. Francis Smith or this city, secretary of the democrh. . tic state central committee and chairman of the drive for this scc- ton of New Haven county, report cd the local quota as having been raised and highly praised the dem ocratg of Waterbury for their zeal ousncss in behalf of the party and it's candidates.
 Watcrbury's drive for the $3,b00 quota has been kept rather "ln the dark" While other towns and cit- les were reporting progress from time to time the local party lead CTS in charge of the drive refrain cd from seeking the "spotlight". Therefore, when the report was re- ceiyed at state headquarters that Waterbury had "come through" as usual the surprise was great be- cause there are many other demo- cratic communities in Connecticut that have yet to show similar re- cord.
 Connecticuts quota is S50,000 Cheshire yesterday reported that 1t had completed it's quota although the fund was only 41 per cent com pIetcd a week ago.
 Secretary Smith of this city Is nlgo chaiunnn of the Litchfeld County Victory Fund committee. !t is expected that reports from this section will begin pouring in dur in the coming week.

New York, Oct 1-(UP)-Ab- sehce of many traders on account of a Jewish holiday and apprehen- sion of the remainder, Aver the pos sibility of receivership for ,.New York, Chicago & St Louis Railroad (Nickel Plate) reduced 'rading vol- ume on the stock exchange to tho lightest in several months.
 Prices moved narrowly. Open- ing firm, the list held steady for q time and then gradually slipped to lower levels.( A car loading report showing lower than expected in- crease over the preceding week brought the rails down and other shares were sold with them. Just before the close, however, mild short covering brought some of the industrials and utilities back from the lows to small net gains.
 Traders had anticipated an in- crease in loading for the week ended September 24, compared with the previous week, of 10000 to 16,000 cars. The actual total 695,746, was up only 8.444 cars, although 1t represented tho small- est percentage decline of any week this year.
 Traders believed the seasonal peak of railroad loadings was ap- preaching. The same feeling pre- vailed regarding the steel industry, but that view did not prevent late short covering in the leading steel stock---U. g. Steel common. It rose about point from the previous close.
 Other issues to move upward in the late rally included Montgomery Ward, Westinghouse Electric, Unit cd Aircraft, Sears Roebuck, Allied Chemical, American Can and Beth- lehem teel. American Telephone made 8 small gain in the utilities whore prices exhibited a firm ten- dency. Except New York Central, the railroad group was down frac- tions to q point.

NEW YORK REPORTS RECORD WHEAT YIELD
 OF 55 BU. PER ACRE

New York, Oct. IA record wheat yield Is reported by Herman c. Fox. q farmer of North Cohoc- ton, Steuben county, New York. who has just harvested Q measured crop of q little over 85 bushels to the acre. Application of 6 standard complete fertilizer, "Agrico for Grain," gave his wheat a start which enabled 1t to withstand a severe drought which reduced the wheat yield on other farms of the section.
 Tho most significant point Hn MT Fox's record crop Is that the 55 bushel yield with "Agrico" netted him $8.40 more per acre than c 42' bushel yield on q neighboring field. Costs of planting, cultivating and harvesting and the rent of the land was practically the same on both fields. except that the cost of thrcshing the larger yield cost about 50 cents per acre, q cost which was partly offset by the diff ference in the prices of fertilizer used fin the two cases. Cost per bushel on tile Agrico field was 38.8 cents, while on the crop fer tilized with the regular 4-S-7 the cost was 47.6 cents per bushe1.
 The wheat is of high quality. the larger yield grading much higher than tho AZ bushel yield, accord- Ing to Mir Fox's estimate. At cur- rent prices. the use of "Agrlco" which incidentally cost less per acre than the other fertilizer used on the check plot, spelled the dif- ference between q substantial pro- fit and loss.

The Market For
 Farm Produce
Prices Not So Good Now
 As In War Time

As might be expected farmers nre looking for a market for their potatoes, turnips and such other things as families arc in the habit of putting in for the winter. The price of potatoes are being quoted anywhere from sIxty-flve to seven ty-fivc cents a bushei. 50 that there IS not much money fin the bust ness. If the stock could be deliv- cred direct to customers the busl- ness would pay better than 1t does when 1t has to be stored on the premises and later taken to the market.
 A strange thing about potatoes is that as q rule the first lot Is good but the ones that come later do not always give satiBfaction. In some instances they are different crops. but q farmer who resentB this states that while wine im- prove with age this is not so of potatoes. However that may be, 1t Is certain that there is a vast dif- ference in the quality of "spuds." This is noticeable if they are cooked in their "jackets', not fried or mashed when put on the table.
