Produce Market Notes

Demand for fruits and vegetables
has been fairly active since the mid
die of the month. Carlot supplies
continue moderate for the season and
prices show about as many important
advances as declines. Limited re-
ceipts of potatoes and onions the
third week of June brought further
price gains. Melon, cantaloupe, and
peach markets became irregular I'M
der increasing shipments but demand
was helped by the hot weather of
late June. Green peas are lower and
cabbage markets are unsettled. APP
pie markets are doing well and some
varieties sell higher.
Potato Prices Rise
The upward trend of the potato
market continued into the third week
of June and the rise applied to the
new crop. Eastern supplies of the
new crop are coming chiefly now
from Virginia and North Carolina.
Eastern Shore stock comprises
about half the total carlot potato
movement. Price trend has contin-
ued upward since the middle of the
month"; with tops of $3.50 per barrel
in Virginia producing sections, and
$3.75 in some large market centers.
Shipments from the Eastern Shore
have been increasing rapidly but
most markets still report moderate
supply and demand and a firm or
rising price position.
CpprIp and for aahHaoy,
are reported moderate in most city
markets. Virginia and Maryland ear
ly varieties bring 50c-$1 per liz
bushel hamper in New York. Gener-
al trend of prices is irregular be-
cause of wide variation in market
quality. About .one-third of the cur
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-30

rent supply in carlots is from Mary
land.
Sweet corn from North Carolina is
quoted at $1-$1.25 per crate in Balti-
more, but some lots reached $1.75 in
New Yorw. Snap beans from North
Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland
range 75c-$1.75 per bushel in east
ern markets. Virginia peas sold
mostly at 75c-$1 the third week of
June.
Peach and Apple Movement
Increasing
Shipments of peaches are increas-
ing rapidly from the southeastern
states. Supplies are still reported
moderate in city markets but quail
ity is irregular, demand slow, and
price trend mainly downward. Job
bling sales ranged 75c-$1 per "
bushel basket in eastern cities. Ear
ly varieties are reported in Georgia
producing sections about steady at
70-75 cents, but demand shows a lit
tie improvement. Most of the peach
supply is from Georgia, but North
Carolina shipments are increasing.
Supply of early apples is still lin
tied and shipments amount to only
few carloads daily, most of them
from Tennessee, Georgia, and Ala
bama. Prices of early sales reached
$1.75-$2.50 per bushel but trend has
been downward. There is still a
good demand for northwestern boxed
apples and prices have been advanc-
ing in producing sections. About
half a dozen cars of apples are being
shipped daily from storage in west
ern New York. Virginia Pippins met
slow sale in the Washington market,
at $1-$1.25 per bushel, and various
standard varieties are quoted at
75c-$1 in eastern markets.

 Hundreds of homesteaders- many of them formerly city folks have obtained farms that they are homesteading and the cost of a one-room log cabin home comes as low as $1.50 while a pa1atial three-room log house costs $50.
 All the actual cash home- steader needs when he comes to take over government land in Woodruff county Is $1O, but he must have a little money Of course, to buy groceries and seeds until he can grow his own.
 Farms up to 160 acres as the limit can be obtained from the government by living on them three years, or they can be bought for a dollar an acre. All former soldiers are given the land

In view of the prevailing restrictions on foreign exchange in Uruguay larger surplus of sterling would be a tremendous aid to financing trade.

tax burdens And what of agriculture, business and
industry, which must produce the wherewithal to
support progressive government? Of at least two
of these, business and agriculture, progressves
seem rarely to think, except to hamper them with
restrictive laws and lay upon them heavier taxes.
And how does it work?
Pick out the states which are suffering most from
the depression, which are crying loudest for help,
in which there are disorders and in which the pro-
cesses of the courts relative to mortgages are IN
terfered with or suspended. Among them are states
in which progressives have made great Roadway.
The hardest hit section of the country, perhaps, IS
the Northwest which has been wont to boast of Its
progressive legislation despite the crushing taxes It
entailed Apparently some parts of the progressive
program, at least are like some other things-that
is, they cannot always be atforded'-Chattanoog

RELIEF" NEEDED FOR EVERYBODY

Much talk of "farm relief" is heard nowadays,
especially in the halls of congress and other lcgs-
lative bodies Many remedies have been proposed
and probably most Of them are the products of po-
ltcal quack doctors. Glass legislation is not usual
ly successful To help class at the expense Of
many others does not make for the common wei
fare Legislation that is good for everybody is the
kind needed
The best market that the American farmer has
is right here in the United States. Cotton is our
largest export crop but than half of the crop
is consumed in the United States A much larger
percentage of the wheat crop is sold here. Such
crops as corn OATS potatoes, tobacco, fresh vegeta-
bles, meats and fruits are sold mostly here. When
business conditions are good, when business con-
Germs operating at profit, when work is plen-
tiful and wages are good the farmer is apt to find
2 ready sale for his products. When manufacturers
and railroads and other sorts of business concerns
are running at a loss, or closed down altogether,
when millions of people have no jobs the market
for farm products is restricted and prices naturally
decline. The kind of prosperity needed is that
which extends to all classes.
Whenever the railroads and factories and mines
and fisheries begin to operate successfully right
then the farmers products will be in demand at
good prices. The truth is all industries close
related and they usually rise fall together. For
this reason there should be no legislation that is
intended to benefit one class at the expense of an
other. The burdens of taxation should rest as
equally as possible upon all and whatever benefits
there are should be divided equally also.-Beaufort

THE RELIEF WE NEED

The relief we need today is relief from govern
ment. We have expected too much of government,
and very fooshly those in charge of it have tried
or are trying to measure up to expectations Did
you ever see man who always did the wrong
thing at the wrong time? You've had fair picture
of the government, then.
Since the depression started we have seen the
federal government make some very costly expert
ments which only made matters worse. We saw it
try to bolster the price of cotton and wheat by
going into the market and buying millions of bales
of cotton and millions of bushels of wheat. But
the prices on these two commodities reached all
time low levels during the past year. Now they
are working on domestic allotment bill in Wash
ington which is designed to fix the price of farm
products and our prediction is that if the bill is
passed and put into effect, the farming industry
will almost be wrecked for the next two genera
tions.
The government has its hand in farming, road
building, education, banking, postal service, and
thousand other things 1t is costing the taxpayers
great deal of money, not only in additional taxes,
but in the loss of business brought about by de-
preston which will not clear up until Uncle Sam
takes back seat and allows the fundamental prin-
cples of business to right things.
Business leaders realize today that if the govern
ment had kept at its "knitting, things would have
adjusted themselves much more rapidly.
As citizens of great state and great nation,
we must realize once and for always that the best
government is one that provides for free speech,
the right to worship God according to the dictates
of our own hearts, and protection from lawess men
and lawless nations. There may be other functions
which the government can properly perform, but
sometimes we feel that should strip it down to
primary fundamentals, and start all over again.

Just as stimulant to people who don't care any
more whether not they pay their honest debts
we give the following story as told by "Uncle
Henry Ashcraft: Two or three years after the
close of the Civil war a man appeared at the home
of Mr.. Ashcrafts father, the late Calvin Ashcraft
He looked like stranger, but Mr.. Ashcraft finally
recognized him, and here's what the visitor said:
Mr. Ashcraft, I've at last got hold of that twenty
dollars l borrowed from you before the war and
Pve come to pay YOU" Upon inquiry it was ascer-
tanned that the honest man had walked fifteen
miles from down in South Carolina to pay debt
he had owed since before the great conflict between
the states, and that's an example of the old-fash-
toned honesty that existed among our citizens back
in the days when mans word was his bond-The

HERoIsM-HUMAN, OR DIVINE?
by BRUCE CATION

There is something about tale OF hero
ism at sea that puts it in class by ITSELF
To landsmen the sea is an omlnous mys-
terry, even at best. When it gets in an an
gry mood it inspires terror as few other
things do. The mere thought of men DEFY
ing its perils in frail boats in order to save
the lives of strangers is profoundly STIR
ring. The bravery of seamen Is so casual,
so matter-of-fact, that it almost puts the
rest of us to shame.
The other day the American steamer,
American Merchant, picked up All . )
call from the British steamer Exeter City,
out in the mid-Atlantic. A terrific winter
gale was blowing; it was so violent that
although the steamers were only 10 miles
apart if took the American Merchant three
hours to reach the Exeter City.
The British ship was laundering, with
bridge and chartroom washed away and
water pouring into the hold through a
smashed fore hatch. The sea was too vio-
lent for lifeboats. Getting two big steam
ers alongside was a risky job calling for
the highest degree of seamanship.
But Captain Stedman, master of the
American Merchant, managed it somehow.
He lost lrfeboat, but he finally got line
aboard the Britisher, and after II hours of
perilous labor ne got the p men from the
sinking ship aboard his own steamer. Then,
with the Exeter City plunging to the bot
tom, he headed for New York with the
survivors.
Stories of this kind aren't uncommon,
and never have been, since first men start
ed voyaging across great waters. And the
impressive thing about them is not the way
in which sailors unfalingly combine great
professional skill with high courage; it is
thesway in which such manifestations are
taken for granted-the way seamen risk
their lives for the sake of others without
making any fuss about it, or striking any
heroic attitudes or letting on that the
whole business is in the least out of the
ordinary.
These acts of heroism are among the hui
man races best recommendations. That }
many men can be found who are ready on
a seconds notice to take their lives in their
hands in the midst of foaming waves and
great darkness-isn't this the visible out
ward sign of a true inward divinity?
