Produce Market Notes

Florida were expected around, the
beginning of March. Prices of old
potatoes are stiIl a little above the
levels of early February. They
ranged from As cents 10 55 cents
per 100 pounds in Maine, and the
Middlewest, ana around 65 cents at
country shipping points. in western
New York. Lack of snow protection
for cabbage stored in the open has
resulted in heavy losses in some sec
tiOns, epscially in the Cortland Val
ley. Dealers are paying growers
about Sc per ton, but some refuse to
sell at that price. City markets are
moderately supplied, and the de-
mand varies from slow to fairly ac-
tive. Eastern markets were irregu-
lar near the end of February, weak
ening little in New York and Gin
cinnati and about steady elsewhere.
The general j0bbing range was $15-
$17 per ton for bulk Danish cabbage.
The carrot market shows little
change in producing sections. A
few sales of 100 pound sacks are re-
ported to 40 TO AZ cents I'm western

New York carrots have been selling
at 60 to rs cents per 100 pounds in
New York City and at IS to 40 cents
per so pounds in Pittsburgh. South
ern carrots tended. slightly lower in
price the last week of February.
Sweet potatoes are in moderate
supply in most markets, but light in
Boston. Prices show little general
change. Shore stock sells at wide
range of 40 cents to 81 per bushel

The produce markets still had a
generally firm appearance the last
week of February. The effect of the
recent freeze OH the current supply
of northern vegetables has been
wearing off and larger shipments
have been attracted by the mid
months upswing in prices. Later re-
ports show more truck crop damage
than expected i'm the Gulf region and
have helped support the market for
some lines of southern vegetables
and for northern onions and cabbage
which have been holding their pre-
vious gains fairly we'll.
Potatoes have sagged back to lev
els only slightly above those pre-
vailing before the freeze. Apples
have followed comparatively
steady course throughout. Price gains
were small and only fairly well
maHtained. A rapid increase in
carlot shipments of general produce
the last week of February seemed
likely to test the strength of the
market. Trucking movement also
has been resumed in some sections
with the return Of milder weather
and open roads.
Apple Markets Firm
The apple market has pursued
steady to firm course during the past
few weeks when many lines of pro-
duce advanced sharply and declined
almost as fast. The moderate sup
plies in cold storage tended to steady
the apple market and to provide Il
supply when shipments were delay /

BRING AROUND THE
LEFT SIDE

ONE of the most prevalent faults
~ is failure to let the left side
turn around to the right on the
backswing. Even those golfers who
do, are often far short of a COM
plete turn. One reason for this is
that they want to guide the stroke
and not being confident of their
swing turn but little. They take
the club back with the customary
wrist and arm movement but allow
he left side to remain where II
was foI fear of destroying their bal
ance. The proper method is to let
the left shoulder turn naturally as
the left arm is taking the club back
until the backswing is complete. In
some cases the players back is prac-
tically at right angles 10 the objec-
tive. Macdonald Smith affords
fine example of this turn and at
the top of the swing is set to hit
from the inside out with perfect bal
ance and freedom. In this position

TO the one he had started on. Half
a dozen jumps brought him to where
this little path branched. Peter was
stuck again. Finally he chose one
of the branches and started on, only
to have this branch lose itself in a
whole lot of little paths, which
crossed and recrossed and were
seemingly all mixed up. Just look
ing at them made Peter dizzy.
I'm not going a step farther" de-
clared Peter. "What is the use? |
don't know which path to follow,
and if | did, it would merely lead
into another little path and |

thought struck Peter and caused
him TO sit up with a funny look on

PETER TRIES TO CALL ON
SHORT-TAIL

w HEN Peter Rabbit returned
w 10 the dear Old Brier Patch he
could think of nothing but his new
acquaintance, Short-Tail the Shrew.
This was quite like Peter. Anything
new arouses his curiosity so that he
can think Of nothing else. He would
have liked nothing better than 70
gossip with some of his neighbors
about Short-Tail and his affairs, but
10 do this he would have 10 admit
that he knew little or nothing about
Short-Tail, and this he couldn't
bring himself TO do. You see Peter
felt very, very foolish every time he
thought how Short-Tail had been one
of his neighbors for so long and all
the time had been mistaken by him
for a member of the Mole family.
So Peter said nothing TO anyone,
not even to little Mrs. Peter, but re-
solved to make up for lost time. The
very first chance he got. he slipped
over to the old log where he had
met Short-Tail. He intended to
make a call. Now Peter couldn't
see under the old log, so he couldn't
tell whether Short-Tail was there or
not. He called but got no answer
He thumped with his feet. Finally
he thumped right on top of the old
log itself. and then looked quickly
TO see If anyone ran out. No one
did. II was quite plain that Short
Tail wasn't there.
Then Peter remembered what
Short-Tail had said about his pri-
vate paths, and jumping down from
the log he began to look for them.
