SHIP ENTS OF
PRODUCE RISE
Current Output Estimated to
Exceed $500 Cars
a Week.
By Times Special


WASHINGTON, May Is
steady increase in produce Ship
mentS of the Midwestern district
was evident during the last week,
according to the weekly report re-
leased today by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Current output in that district
was estimated to exceed $500 cars a
week, compared with an output of
2800 cars in the same period last
year. The majority of crops SO far
this year are running slightly under
last season, including cabbage, peas
spinach, asparagus, green's, and
early potatoes.
The most active in the current
market are potatoes, onions, let
tuce, cabbage, and citrus fruits, it
was stated. New crop potatoes are
moving in about the same volume
as last season, but old stock has
been light since prices started de-
Ginning.
Apple shipments recently have
suffered slight setback, while the
strawberry output is even less than
anticipated, with only $50 cars on
hand during the second week of
May. The Western truck crop and
fruit season is still unusually late.
The Eastern and Midwestern season
was somewhat delayed by the cool,
wet weather of April and early May.
Despite these conditions, growing
truck crops are reported ii a better
condition than last year, and above
the 10-year average. Price changes
so far this month have been sharply
lower in new potatoes, cabbage,
spinach and Western lettuce, while
improvement was shown in straw
berries and tomatoes.

featuring industries in Indiana de-
c.Sned in April, pay rolls registered
an increase. Martin F. Carpenter,
director of the Indiana State En-
ployment Service, declared today.
The pay roll rise was largely &C
counted for by increases in man
hours.
The survey was based on reports
from SAB manufacturing establish
ments employing 1872 22 persons. or
about 81 per cent Of all persons en-
gagged in manufacturing pursuits IN
the state. These firms had a total
weekly pay roll during April of APP
proXimately S4,213, $50.
April employment in the manu-
featuring industries was .045 per
cent below March and 3.52 per cent
under April. 1884 Pay rolls, how
ever. were 119 per cent above the
preceding month and 2.0l per cent
ahead Of the corresponding month
last year.
Durable Field Gains
The durable goods industries
showed gain of .03 per cent in en-
ployment and 227 per cent in pay
rolls. This gain was offset by de-
crease in nondurable goods indus
tries of 1874 per cent in employment
and l per cent in pay rolls.
The brightest spot in the indus
trial breakdown was in the ma
chinery industry, where 70 firms
showed an employment gain of 5.64
per cent and a pay roll increase Of
4.84 per cent.
Average hours worked per week
were LAS per cent greater than dur
ing March of this year. Per capita
weekly earnings stood at $21.42, or
239 per cent above a month ago.

Employment gains ranged from IL
per cent in Lafayette to 0.49 per
cent in Marion. Increases we're
shown in Anderson, BLOOMINGTON,

IOWA REPORTS
MORE INCOME
FOR FARMERS
Higher Livestock Prices,
Plus Benefit Payments
Aid in Increase.

By United Press
AMES, Ia, May 18-Farm in
come for the first six months Of
1885 will be higher than it was dur
ing the same period last year, Iowa
State College economists estimate.
For the first quarter of 1885,
farmers received a total of 85,0OO,-
600 more income than they did dur
ing the same period last year.
Income from the sale of farm
marketings increased in March both
over February and March of last
year." the economists explained.
Total income was S416, 100000, not
including benefit payments. When
they are included the total is $685.,
100000. This compares with S433,-
100000 in February and S415,000,-
900 in March last year.
Grains Show Loss
This increase" the economists
continued, lis a result of higher
livestock prices and increased ben
eft payments, for the most part.
Income from grains and other crops
was somewhat smaller than last
year.
While income from crops has
been less all along than it was a
year ago, because higher prices
failed to make up for very light
marketings, income from livestock
has been higher because higher
prices have more than made up for
decreased marketings.
Income from livestock sales is
expected to continue at higher
level than last year, for, although
supplies of marketable livestock are
low, prices are expected to continue
favorable.
Benefits Up.
Benefit payments will also be
considerably more during the first
six months of 1885 than they were
last year"
With this note Of optimism on
one hand, and the chinchbug out
look on the other, farmers were I'M
certain as to the picture farm con-
ditions will present this year.
Chinchbugs admittedly constitute
the Fly in the ointment" If they
are worse than last year, farmers
will be in bitter straits: if they are
not, the farm outlook is rosy. At
present, scientists do not know
whether the bugs will prove the
crop scourge they were in 1884. 1t
all depends on the weather from
now until early summer, they point
ed out

ENJOY FISHING AND
KILL RATTLESNAKE

Two local residents, George W.
and James NJ. Justice, report a
delightful Fourth of July with a
bit of excitement. 1t was intend
ed to be only fishing trip but
on the way home from somewhere
in Polk county they overlook a
four foot rattler crossing the road
and George Justice succeeded in
running two wheels over this bril-
liant speciment which he declar-
ed to be the largest Of many OF
this species of snakes which he
has found and killed in the noun
tains of Western North Carolina.
Somewhat stunned by the weight
of the car the snake quickly threw
itself into a coil and began to
sing. A few well placed. stones
soon dispatched the reptile which
was estimated to be Is years old.
As to the fishing the day prov
ed a good one. In the bag at the
close of the day were found some
rainbows, a good number of brem,
a fine bass which j. M. Justice
had the pleasure of landing and
also there were a few of the in
evitable horneyheads. The fisher
men indicated that fish fry with
watermelon as desert after such
a day was more to their liking
than crackers and patriotic music.
