Produce Market Notes

Apples were still an interesting
market feature in late May because
the ordinary upward tendency of
prices continued after months of
firmness with occasional advances.
Supplies have been scarce and hest
lots brought fancy prices.
Potato Market Draggy
Dizziness prevailed in the markets
for old crop potatoes in all parts of
the country the second half of May.
New crop supplies have been fair
ly abundant and mostly of good
market quality.
Sweet potatoes sell at we'll main
tanned price levels east and west.
Best lots reached 81 a bushel In
various markets in late May New
Jersey potatoes sold in New York at
s1,25 to $1.75 and poorer grades IS
cents to 81. Delaware bushels were
quoted S1.25 to s1.65 and a few
North Carolina yams at 81 to $1.35.
Present indications suggest that the
sweet potato market will not show
much change for the rest of the old
crop season. supplies being light
and under close control.
Onions continue a weak market
feature, partly because of low aver
age quality Shipments from the
southern part of Texas are gradu-
ally approaching an end, but north
ern districts will be shipping soon.
Southern producers are receiving
around so cents per so pounds. As
paragus CARROTS are no longer fea-
ture now that southern producing
sections are done but local sup
plies are still active in northern
markets and prices generally low.
Peas have been in moderate supply
in most sections and selling well
when good. Supply has been grad
ually approaching the northern
shipping districts and receipts from
North Carolina.
Spinach from New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and some from Long Is
land has been selling in New York
and other markets at low prices.
Cabbage continues in over-supply
and selling at prices discouraging to
southern growers. Acreage and
yield have been large in the Gulf
Coast region and supply Is expect
ed to continue liberal for some
time to come despite efforts made In
some sections to hold back part OF
the crop. High prices last year seem
to have had the usual effect Of slim
uIating heavy planting. Tomatoes
so far have sold quite well but
growers are worried over prospects
Of large crops from the three or
four states along the Gulf Of Mexl-
co and there is talk Of restriction Of
from some areas.

Shipments of produce are coming
at nearly the same volume as in re-
cent weeks or a year ago but total
for the season to date is about 7To
larger than a year ago mainly be-
cause of earliness of crops in the
southwest. A recent feature is the
steady gain in southern potato ship
ments which now exceed those of
old potatoes. Despite the larger
acreage of southern produce not
many gluts have occurred in market
centers, the main exceptions being
early cabbage, string beans and
western cantaloupes. Strawberries
threatened over-supply at some
points late in May. because Of re-
ceipts from a large number of the
leading producing sections includ-
ing considerable poor stock. Earli-
ness of California shipments brought
cherries. plums. apricots and pea
ches on the market along with the
first Florida melons and earliest
southern cantaloupes. Apple sup
plies are so light that New Zealand
new crop fruit has invaded eastern
markets in a small way. attracted
by high prices.
Strawberry Market Active
The activity in Strawberries from
the second early districts from the
Eastern Shore of Virginia and Mary
land westward to Arkansas, Mis-
souri, and Illinois has been a fea-
ture since the middle of the month
but the current movement, or total
for the season. has scarcely equsled
that of a year ago as yet, despite
the general increased production ex-
pected in the midseason berry sec
tions. Prices show a wide range
anywhere from 4 to IL cents, quart
basis. quality and condition accoun-
ting for great variation in price.
Abundance of the Blakemore varie-
ty is a feature this year in markets
throughout the country. These
Strawberries have made a tine APP
pearance and have sold Csc to SOC
a crate higher than the Klondikes
or other ordinary fruit.
Eastern producing sections quot
ed leading varieties at SIPS to $3.50
per 80 quarts. Current level of
prices was not far from that pre-
vailing near the height of the sea
son a year ago. Eastern Shore of
Maryland shipping points range
$3.50 to S2.75 per S2-quaTt crate.
Haulings from the fields were
heavy and demand became slow
when city markets reached lowest
levels. North Carolina berries sold
at low levels near the end OF their
season with a general range Of 81 |
10 50 per S2-quart crate.

SAY WOMEN DRIVERS
SAFER THAN MEN
[Coafiahtd from Firn PastI

rCOHfiAkSd from FirJt Pagel
Each driver in a line of traffic
must depend a great deal upon the
fairness and consideration of the
others for protection. The driver
who stops suddenly or makes hur-
red turn without warning those
following him by arm. mechanical or
electric signal often causes acct
dents to others If he is not involved
himself. OF course. if the driver ap-
proaches the point where he intends
to turn or stop at moderate speed
and in the proper lane of traffic. driv-
ers following will have much less
difficulty in anticipating his move
ments. The worst offender is the
driver who makes sudden changes
of direction or reduction of speed
without regard to his position in the
street or the position of vehicles that
are following him and without Civ
ing any signal as to his movement.

/ general school work, may have
great ability in some particular line
mechanical, social, artistic or in
ventive.
1t is generally more desirable for
a child In school to progress stead
lily from year to year. doing good
work as he goes along, than to at
tempt to finish a certain grade or
graduate at a much earlier-than-us-
ual age. Normal growth both physi-
cal and mental. is preferable to, I'm
balanced and abnormal development
of any kind. The average child who
is well taught by understanding tea
cheers and properly handled by in
telligent parents, does not need to
be urged and driven forward. Patti
ence is a great asset, and when pa
thence is coupled with constructive
persistence the outlook is most en-
couraging.
The story is told that a brilliant
student once went to work in the
Edison laboratory. A little more
than a year passed. Then he decided
to leave. saying, Were not getting
anywhere. We've experimental and
haven't invented anything. | can't
afford to waste any more time"
Edison is reputed to have said in
substance, You are wrong. my boy.
We have made more than a thous-
and experiments and all have fail
ed. That in itself is a lot to have
accomplished, for we have learned
of one thousand kinds and groups
of materials which we may elimi-
nate because they will not serve our
purpose. We are getting ahead fine
ly, and sooner or later I expect we
shall find what we are after"
He did. and the electric light was
the result.
Nowadays students young and
old are encouraged to think for
themselves. to cooperate with each
other and to assist each other. Of
ten, among children of equal intel
ligence, one will understand easily
when another will have difficulty.
and the spirit of service is put to
work and developed when a child is
allowed to take advantage Of this
to help.
The prospects for future happi-
ness and usefulness are not neces-
sarily gagged by early precoccious-
ness. Normal progress. a we'll /
program of living. and good
health form the most satisfactory
basis for future achievement and
success.
