IN Do What Can

By Ella Wheeler wilcox
Who takes for his motto, ,I.lI do
what l cam
Shall better the world as he goes
down life's hill;
The willing young heart makes the
capable man,
And who does what he can oft
can 10 what he will.
There's strength in the impulse to
help things along,
And forces undreamed of will
come to the aid
OF one who, though weak, yet be-
lieves he is strong.
And offers himself to the task un-
afraid.
"I'll do what l can" is a challenge
to fate,
And fate must succumb when it's
put to the test;
A heart that is willing to labor and
wait
In its tussle with life ever comes
out the best
It puts the blue imps of depression
to rout,
And makes many difficult prob
lens seem plain;
It mounts over obstacles, dissipates
doubt,
And unravels kinks in life's cur
Gus chain.
I'll do what l can" keeps the pro-
gress machine
In good working order as the cen
turtles roll,
And civilization would perish,
ween,
Were not those words written on
many a soul.
They fell the great forests. they fur
row the soil.
They seek new inventions to bene-
fit man,
They fear no exertion, make pas
time of toll
o, great is earth's debt to "I'Il do
what 1 can"

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

has met fairly good demand recent
ly. Receipts from New Jersey have
been light and nearby sections OF
New York are rapidly cleaning up.
Jobbing sales of New York celery
are mostly from $3.50 to 50 per 2/3
crate but best lots reached $2.75 in
Washington.
Tomato markets have been dull
and prices low under very heavy To-
cal supplies during the height of
production in many northern Sec
tions. Lug boxes and crates have
been selling in eastern cities mostly
Csc to soc. Cucumbers also are
coming from nearby sections but
quality is generally poor to fair and
sales around SOC a bushel. Picking
sizes bring around 81. Receipts of
sweet corn have been heavy but most
supplies have been of only fair quail
ity. White varieties have been SELL
ing from 12c to SOC and yellow corn
higher.
Cabbage receipts have been in
creasing rapidly from New York,
Wisconsin, and other northern
sources. Demand is poor in most
markets and prices low at SOC to 81
a barrel. Spinach is in liberal sup
ply from nearby sources and selling
mostly around soc a bushel.
Apple Markets Dull
Supplies of early fall varieties of
apples are plentiful and the market
continues dull. CARROTS and truck
loads from Virginia and Delaware
include many Northwestern Green
ings and. some Mcintosh. General
range of prices in city markets is
still SOC to 81 a bushel.
Peaches show wide range in quail
ity and condition and there is still
cOnsideTt tble fruit of ordinary quail
ity from all sections. Good peaches
have held prices fairly well but small
and ordinary stock sells slowly. Vir-
ginia Elbertas have been a leading
variety selling from SIPS to $2.75,
mostly $1.25 to 50 a bushel A few
large Halls sold at top prices. Mary
land and. Delaware peaches are quot
ed mostly S1.25 to 81 for Elbertas.
Demand is light for the early black
grapes which have been arriving
from Delaware, New Jersey, and
New York, most of the early receipts
being fair quality and selling from
S0C to 40c per 12-quart basket
The demand for watermelOns be- /.
came very draggy during the last
part of August because of the ordi- /
nary quality of most supplies and /
he cooler weather. 1t is expected .
hat receipts from nearby sources /
will supply most of the market de- /
nand during the next few weeks. /
in carlOts are mainly /
rom Colorado, Utah and Delaware
The Maryland and Delaware season 1
$ fast drawing to a close and the |
'ulk Of the supply at present is very
ordinary. Sales for good lots are
quoted at 75c to 81 per crate.
Milford chronicle., 1935-09-06

Shipments of fruits and vegetables
continue rather light and local sup
plies heavy. The wholesale vege-
table markets are reported dull in
nearly all large eastern cities but
price action was a little stronger
near the end of August, with some
gains for potatoes and lettuce and
comparative steadiness replacing
the general declines on most other
lines of produce during the month.
There is a fair demand for fruits
except apples which continue to
move very slowly on a dull and
weak market. Cooler weather has
hurt the sales of such lines as mel
Ons, cantaloupes and citrus fruits.
Potatoes Slightly Higher
After the long declining trend of
potatoes in late summer there was
a slight tendency toward recovery
near the end Of August with many
advances of sc to 10c per 100 pounds.
Current carlot movement is in about
twO-thirds the volume Of year ago,
but prices are One-fOurth lower, Ow-
ing to heavy supplies from nearby
sources.
Dry weather in northeastern pro-
ducing sections, including northern
Maine and Eastern Canada, has
given a slightly more hopeful slant
to the eastern potato market out
look. The later varieties are now
ready to move but growers were not
willing to start digging under recent
market conditions.
Onions AhOuf Steady
The onion market situation shows
little change. General range of yell
low stock is Csc to S5c per so pounds
in the East and most cities report
supply and demand moderate.
and good demand.
Lettuce Higher
Eastern lettuce is quoted mostly
SOC to Csc per small crate in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington. Somewhat lighter re-
ceipts and improved quality helped |
support the strength of the markets !
for western lettuce. Most of the |
eastern stock at this time is rather
ordinary in market grade with Oc-
casiOnal good lots.
Arrivals of sweet potatoes have .
been increasing as the movement |
from Virginia land other eastern
states gets under way. Prices showed
some gains in mid-August but eased
of again toward the end of the month
when Virginia and Maryland stock
was selling in eastern markets at
Csc to $1.25 a bushel, Eastern Shore
shipping points quoted soc and dig
ging was light during the last part
of the month.
Supplies of eastern carrots have
been liberal and the markets showed
a slightly weaker tendency with
sales around SOC a bushel for good
stock in eastern markets. Celery

end of August, whereas there were
but 4861 pleasure cars and 1889
trucks so titled in all of last year.
July Biggest Month
July headed the lists this month.
but the upward trend is shown in
the fact that there we're substantial
increases in registration of new cars
each month this year. A total Of
995 vehicles we're titled in July, S22
of them pleasure cars and 17S
trucks.
The biggest month in 1884 was
April in which S52 vehicles were
titled, 712 of them pleasure cars and
14O trucks. Last April 965 new We
kicles were titled, S19 of them plea
sure cars and 146 trucks.
An indication of what to expect
for the remainder of this year lies
in the fact that there were 2O45 new
vehicles titled in the last five months
of 1884. The final figure this year is
thus expected to be far ahead of the
final figure for last year.

Prall Reforms Programs.

Perpetuation of the New Deal"
policy in radio seems assured with
the reappointment by President
Roosevelt for a seven-year term Of
Chairman Aiming S. Prall of the
Federal Communications Commission
the man who tossed charge of
INT into broadcasting ranks the
moment he stepped into the radio
realm early this year.
Although newcomer to radio,
Prall, who had served a dozen years
in Congress as a New York member,
unburdened himself on programs
when he assumed office last January.
He struck out with both fists on the
subjects of blood and thunder"
children's programs, medical pro-
grams that shocked listeners or Of
Tended good taste, and other features
he branded improper for the home
His homely philosophy was that
nothing should be on the air that
couldn't be discussed within the
family circle.
Tumult reigned within the broad
casting industry and among program
builders when the F. c. c. edict came
forth. There were reshuff1ings of
program schedules and a spontaneous
toning down of advertising an
nouncements. Juvenile programs be-
gan to lose their gangSter and night
mare tingeS. Program policies and
credos began to pour forth from sta
/ lions and networks. An era of self
regulation got under way in record
breaking time.
Meantime, the F. c. c. cited stations
for alleged improprieties in their pro-
grams. Today more than 100 cita-
tons are outstanding. which means
that in these instances the station
owners must step on the carpet in
official Washington and answer.
Theoretically, under the law, the F.
c. C. in extreme cases can order the
deletion of the stations from the air
because their programs did not serve
public interest. Actually 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a general
cenSure and a warning that any re-
currences will mean punitive action
and even the supreme penalty Of loss
of station license.
The F. c. C.-and its predecessor
the Radio Commission supervised
radio before Pralls arrival on the
regulatory scene But it was inclined
to ignore programs, because of a
stipulation in the law that it cannot
censor what a station offers in its
program schedule. However 1t can
consider programs broadcast in the
past when considering applications for
stations for renewal Of their licenses,
which is not construed legally as
censorship.
1t was when the veteran New York
legislator assumed the Craftsmanship
of the broadcast division of the three
ring F. c. C. that the program fur
began to fly. Then three months
later when he was elected chairman of
the full commission he intensified
his campaign Observers believe that
the actions of the F. C. C. in the last
four months under the Prall leader
ship have wrought more wholesale
changes in broadcasting than any
other period in radio history.
