PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

good condition and the yield con-
tinues heavy. Carlot supplies are
light but local receipts active and
selling at low prices. New Jersey
and Pennsylvania receipts are quot
ed at Csc to SOC per IA bushel ham
per in New York.
Green peas, large telephone va
riety, are in liberal supply (frOm
western New York and the crop is
yielding well as in most other pro-
ducing sections.) Prices range most
ly 81 to s1.25 a bushel in eastern
markets.
The season for northern sweet
corn began with receipts from New
Jersey and conditions indicate a
good crop Of good quality. North
Carolina corn is offered in a few
markets at 9Oc to $1.65 per crate.
Supplies Of tomatoes continue
heavy from many parts of the south
and there were early arrivals Of New
Jersey tomatoes in some markets.
These sold at 75c to $3.50 per II
quart basket in New York. Receipts
are expected to continue active and
market position is rather weak.
String beans have been plentiful
this month and prices weakened
somewhat in leading markets. New
York reports increasing supplies
from nearby sources. Prices fol-
lowed a wide range Of 15c to 81 per
bushel. The crop appears to have
been nearly a failure so far as con-
Germs quality in some districts and
the season has not been very good
for lima beans. but in Delaware con-
ditions are favorable.
Apples Lower
Prices Of apples have tended down.
ward quite steadily recently. Sales
of Transparents have been mostly
75c to slips per bushel in eastern
and mid-western cities. A fairly |
good apple crop is in prospect. De- |
mand for export is expected to be !.
better because of the light crop in
England owing to cool weather in /
jury early in the season. The few /
old crop apples are sell
ing at steady prices near 81 a bushel /
for best lots. Volume of early ap-
pie shipments so far is about the
same as a year ago for the corre-
spending date. Shipments of old
crops have exceeded those of last
season by about 1000 cars, owing to
activity Of northwestern producing
sections.
Peach markets have shown greater
activity with warmer weather and
the arrival Of the larger late varie-
lies from the south. Elbertas now

ply and they appear nearly normal

The 6-bashet- carriers sell at $2.25

Price trends have been downward at

that can be pounded into shape, but
| rather like a delicate instrument
that responds to every touch, a liv-
I ing, changing consciousness that re-
members and that is influenced
throughout the whole of life, by
seemingly trivial occurrences. The
biographies of great men and Wo-
men often allude to a curious turn
ing of the way" Oceasioned by some
light-as-air trifie. F'laxman said that
his mothers encouraging smile, as
he showed her his first drawing,
made him an artist. On the other
hand, how many unfortunates owe
their downward careers to some
tragic injustice in childhood!
As l was walking thOughtfully
homeward one afternoon after my
talk, l was suddenly confronted with
a striking instance of parental folly.
A father and mother were taking q
walk with their two children. One
was boy of six, the other a mere
toddler whose wayward little feet
took him out Of the direct path eV-
cry few minutes. Now he stopped to
gaze as a group of little girls play
ing with dolls on a doorstep. again,
he paused to investigate a bright bit
OF tinsel lying in the dust. The mo-
ther impatiently admonished him
every time one of these interrup-
tions to the conventional prOme-
made occurred, and at length, as the
baby brought himself to a stand
still before a beautiful st. Bernard
dog which stood sentinel at the gate
OF garden, and with a child's. in
stinctive liking for animals, stretch
ed out his hand to touch it, the wo-
man cried out sharply, Come away,
johnnie, he'll eat you upi"
The instant transformation in the
baby was pitiable. Delight was
changed by that single sentence into
terror. He ran shrieking to hide
against his mother, who, half
ashamed, tried to soothe him by tax
ing back her own words. no he
won't" she said, stop crying; ne
won't hurt you"
What a wanton destruction of q
child's faith and courage, and truat
in a mothers word!

Produce shipments continue in the
light volume prevailing this month,
mainly because OF the light shipments
of potatoes from important eastern
producing sections. Onions, melons,
cantalOupes and citrus fruits also
show slow rate of movement because
OF lighter output from several inn
portant shipping regions. Principal
gains are for peaches, honeydews
and early appleE Persistent price
decline and large local supplies Of
many lines have tended to discourage
distant shipments. Compared with a
year ago most produce shows de-
creases.
Hot weather has helped the sale
of melons, fruits and salad vege-
tables. Summer products include
tomatoes, eucumbers, peppers and
other fruits and beginning to come
from northern producing sections.
Price trends have shown only mod
crate changes SO far this month and
most lines were fairly steady the sec
ond week of July, but declines have
been more numerous than advances.
Potatoes were a firm feature In early
July and held gains fairly well be-
cause of the determined attitude Of
eastern shippers. Lettuce markets
are shown a stronger tone Most
other lines are steady or slightly
lower compared with the early past
Of the month and prices are mostly
lower than they were in mid-July
last year, including onions, lettuce,
celery, cantalOupes, tomatoes and
melons.
Truck crops in general are in fair
to good growing condition and there
are many gains in acreage. Injuries
this season are mainly not from
drought but from too much rain, and
the resulting weeds, decay, diseases
and insects. Cool weather crops,
such as lettuce and peas did un-
usually well in the east aud middle
west.
New Jersey sweet potatoes sell at
$3.50 to $1.75 per barrel for best lots
in New York. Maryland and Vir-
ginia Jersey type sweets bring $1.25
to $1.4O in Baltimore. Alabama
white yams sell at 81 to Sl15 in
Pittsburgh. Supplies are expected to
increase considerably from southern
states in late July. Red yams from
North Carolina bring 75c to 81 in
New York.
Onion markets show dull, steady
trade conditions without much
change in prices from previous job
bing range of 75c to 81 a busheI. Re-
ceipts are increasing from New Jer-
sey and Eastern Shore. (SOuthern
receipts include much poor stock.
Some injury to the growing crop is
reported in important mid-Western |
onion states Of Michigan and Indiana.

homes and feed their stock and look
after their flocks Of poultry.
Camp grounds within the past %
years have been somewhat modern
lied. In the old days the cottages
were built from rOughly-hewn or
sawed boards, very few we're con-
structed so the front part could be
closed to storms and most Of them
were used to sit in and watch what
was going on among the crowds in
the camp circle.
Firestands dotted the grove to pro-
vide light. These bOx-like cOntrtv-
ances filled with dirt were mounted
upon a large post, and upon them
was kindled a fire from lightwoOd-
knots. Years ago privileges were
sold for a certain amount to some
farmer to supply the lightwOOd to
operate the firestands. A smoke
would result when they were burn
ing freely and this helped to drive
away the mosquitoes.
The boys and girls pTOmehading
about the grounds gave little atten-
tIOn to the heat produced by the
fiFestands when they walked by
them. Usually they were located as
far away from the prOmenading
ground, which usually was in front
of the tents clear around the circle,
as they could be so as not to inter-
fere with the cOttagers or visitors
walking about the grounds.
Before the advent of the autOmO-
bile, there was a hOrse-pOund con-
nected with all camps. There the
town folk driving to the grove
meeting could have his horse and
carriage taken care of during the
afternoon and evening. This usually
was a great meeting place for the
men to swap yarns" and talk about
their crops. Sometimes as many peO-
pie during the weekdays would be
congregated about the hOrse-pOund
as there would be on the camp
ground proper.
Then there was the bOarding-tent
or ke-believe-hOtel," where Wis
itors were able to get all Of the
friend chicken and products from
the farm they wanted to eat for fifty
cents. They were great meals in a
great period of the history of the
country. Nowadays most of the
camps operate a boarding-tent. And
such meals as are served! Hotel
menus, fOF. the most parf, cannot I
compare with them. The things to
eat practically run the scale Of the |
alphabet, from apples to yams.
Campmeetings seem to be enjoyed !
by the present generation as much |
so as they were by their forefathers.
They promenade just the same as
they did In the long ago, and seem
to enjoy themselves just as much.
In recent years they let the old folk
look after the religious side of the
camps, while they have a good time.
Instead Of the Old-time fiFestands,
most OF the camps within the past
25 years have delcO-lighting plants
The horse-pound has given way to
parking places for automobiles, and
many Of the grounds are enclosed
with wire fences and an admission
to enter This is done so
hat the camp committee may be
able to meet the running expenses,
pay the transportation and board of
7isiting ministers, instead of de-
on hat collections on the (
grounds as they did years ago.
