DUST EXPLOSIONS
POWER IS SHOWN
Eight Experimental Blasts
Are Witnessed by Chemi-
cal Engineers.

The destructive power of certain dustS
was demonstrated by eight experimental
dust explosions at the Agriculture De-
partment testing station at the Airing
ton Experimental Farm this afternoon
for the benefit of the American Institute
of Chemical Engineers.
The chemists witnessed the effects of
grain elevator, starch, soap and sulphur
dusts. There are $4,000 industrial
plants In the United States subject to
the dust hazard, according to DR.. David
]. Price, who conducted the demonstra-
ton.
Discuss Farm SurpIuses.
Some of the economic problems con-
fronting the chemical industry claimed
the attention of the institute this morn
ing. The chemists discussed the possi-
bilities of utilizing agricultural sur
pluses, of. rectifying the chaotic condi-
tions in the transportation industry and
the setting up of systematic methods of
cost accounting.
There is no limit to the amount of
agricultural raw material waiting for
chemists to find some use for it, said
DR.. Henry G. knight, chief of the Bu-
Teau of Chemistry and Soils of the
Department of Agriculture. He cited
the evolution of levulose from a farm
waste, formerly carted away and
dumped in streams, to a product of
which the annual production now is
valued at $l33 100000 because of its
use in the manufacture of feeds and
fertilizers.
Chemists. he said, are learning to ap-
preciate more and more each day the
opportunities for the utilization of ligo-
celluloSe contained In straw and corn
stalks, which constitutes go per cent of
the material removed from the soil of
American farms. 1t can be used for
paper, building board, and insulating
material as well rayon, celluloid and
laquers.

Tomato Markets Weak

Recent tomato shipments have
been about one-third less than at the
corresponding time last season. A
large share of the supply still comes
from the South but receipts by truck
from midseason sections are increas-
ing. Prices have declined further
since the middle of the month, al

Produce Market Notes

Fruits and vegetables are coming
to market in moderate quantity Re-
cent daily and weekly movement is
about twO-thirds that of a year ago
and the seasons total to date has
been cut down by about one-seVenth.
Receipts of early apples lately have
been less by One-third. Peaches
amount to only about 20 per cent of
last seasons receipts during the
same period. Pears and grapes are
less this year by One-half. Cherries
and western plums have been the
only leading lines of fruit approach
ing last seasons volume of supply.
Most of the vegetables, including
potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, cucum-
bers, and green corn, are in lighter
receipt this year and recent daily
arrivals have been at the same lin
tied rate. The lighter supply of
cantalOupes and melons seems to be
the result of extreme low prices in
producing sections rather than from
crop shortage. No doubt the price
level, so unsatisfactory to producers,
has tended to keep away large guam
titles of produce, especially of the
low grades. Sometimes marketing
has been hard to accomplish in sec
tions remote from the large market
centers.
Prices have slanted downward on
most green produce in July, al
though the trend has been more
steady since the middle of the month.
Potato markets have been weak in
the Middle West but recent let-up
in shipments has steadied the posi-
tion. Eastern potato markets have
been fairly steady following recent
moderate declines. Tomatoes, let
tuce, cantaloupes, and apples tended
lower. Onion prices hold fairly we'll.
Peaches, in contrast to prevailing
low levels of farm products, sell at
double the prices of year ago. Ap- !
pies, too, especially the leading mar
ket varieties, have been selling high
er this season.

Onion Prices Fairly Steady

Although potato shipments head
the list of northern produce at this
time. the movement of onions, celery,
tomatoes, and eucumbers is getting
under way in important midseason
producing sections. Set onions from
the Connecticut Valley crop are
starting the market. Kentucky yell
low onions brought 20 to so cents
per so pounds in several markets.
japanese set onions sold at so to
60 cents in Boston, declining to lO
cent sthe third week of July. New
Jersey yellow onions ranged 75 to
80 cents in eastern cities also'
showing a slight decline. Pennsyl-
yania stock was fairly steady
around $1.25 per 100 pounds in Bal
timore. Virginia yellow onions IN
bushel hampers sold in a jobbing
way at so to IS cents in eastern mar
kets. Rather liberal shipments from
California and Texas have tended to
keep the onion market at compare
lively low levels.

Steady Peach Markets

Peaches are selling well. Current
market receipts are light from east
ern sections. Most eastern markets
report limited supplies and fairly
good demand. Prices are irregular
but well maintained in most large
centers. Varieties are chiefly mid
season as yet, but Georgia Elbertas
appeared in New York State after
the middle of the month at $3.50
to $3.75 per siX-basket crate. Hileys
were selling in various markets at
$3.50 to 1925. Active shipments of
Elbertas are expected in early Au-
gust but the supply will be limited,
since according to local estimates
the total peach shipments from
Georgia will amount to not much
over 1000 cars, of which half have
been shipped. Many orchards of Ell
bertas were purchased outright for
So per bushel or crate for the No. 1
fruit. Prevailing price until recent
ly had been $1.50 to $1.75 in produc-
ing sections. Hileys closed strong
at 1925 to $3.50. Recent receipts
have been about equally divided be-
tweent Georgia and the Carolinas.
Dealers are reported contracting for
Elbertas in North Carolina at $1.5O
to So per bushel.
Blackberries from New Jersey and
Delaware are quoted in New York,
Boston, and Philadelphia at So to
$3.50 per 32-quart crate. Currants
from New York State are still on
sale in some markets around nine
cents per quart in small lots. Blue
berries from Pennsylvania range 13
to 16 cents per quart A few Maine
and Canadian strawberries were
quoted in Boston and other markets
at II to Is cents a quart and rasp-
berries from western New York
brought IA to Is cents per pint.

sold from 65c to 81. Virginia and
North Carolina tomatoes brought
$3.50 to $1.75 per bushel in Wash
ington, having declined sharply
since the middle of July.
The cucumber season in the area
around the Eastern Shore is about
done. The greater part of the cOun-
try's carlOt supply has come from
that section for the past few weeks.
Quality has been generally good this
year, and prices have been higher
than they were last season. Yields
have been lighter but growers are
reported to have made profit on the
crop. Probably as much as so per
cent of the production was marketed
by motor truck. Growers have been
receiving lately from 35 to so cents
per bushel at auction sales, with
fairly active demand and firm mar
kets.
New York and New Jersey celery
is a moderate supply at 81 to $3.50
per two-thirds crate, most markets
quoting around So for good stock.
Prices on Michigan celery have de-
clined slightly. New York cauli-
flower is quoted at $3.50 to So per
crate. Green corn from North Caro-
lima sells at slips to $3.50 per crate
but some poor stock sells much low
er. Green peas from New York
State bring $1.5O to $1.75 per- bushel
in New York, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia. Sweet potatoes from Ten
nessee and other southern districts
bring 25 to so cents per bushel. A
few New Jersey sweets sold at 75c
to 81 in New York. EARLY cabbage
from Pennsylvania averaged about
81 per barrel in Philadelphia.

Melons and CantalOupeS

Prices of watermelons are showing
some recovery after the height of
the shipping season in the southeast
but producers still are getting low
prices and sommetimes finding diff
Guilty in obtaining a market for their
crop. Extremely hot weather has
hastened the maturity and reduced
the quantity of salable melons be-
cause of sunburn. Cars of good
quality melons have been scarce
throughout most of the season. Had
the lOadings been restricted to stock
of good quality, the shipments from
some sections would have been light
and returns probably more satisfac-
tory. Shipments from Florida and
Georgia were not much more than
half those of last season but prices
have been consistently lower.
Cantaloupe supply and demand is
moderate in eastern markets and the
price trend irregular, showing a
wide range according to quality and
market. North Carolina stock brings
so to $1.5O per crate in eastern cities.
Milford chronicle., 1932-07-29
Potato Markets Hesitate

Shipments of potatoes became
much more moderate around the
middle of the month, owing to a let
up in shipments from producing dis
tricts in Maryland and Virginia
which were approaching the end OF
the season.
Eastern markets all report mod
crate supplies and slow to fairly
active demand. Virginia and Mary
land Eastern Shore Cobblers follow
a jobbing range of $1.75 to 1925 per
barrel in eastern markets or $1.25
to $1.75 per 100 pounds. Most sales
of this stock in the Middle West are
around So per barrel. Long Island
potatoes are firm with tops of S225
per barrel in New York. Pennsyl-
vania Cobblers brought $1.25 per 100
pounds in Baltimore the third week
of July. Eastern Shore barreled
stock was quoted at $1.5O to $l.6O
at country shipping points, with sup
ply moderate and trade dull.
