Produce Market Notes

Of cabbage and apples. Some grow
ers were still inclined to hold foI
higher prices. Midwestern markets
have not advanced quite so fast as
those of the East.
4 Rapid Advance In Cabbage
Prices of cabbage have moved up
rapidly this month. Some markets
and producing sections quote sales
at three to four times the prices
prevailing at the beginning of the
year and gains of $40 or more per
ton are reported since the first OF
this month. The rapidly advancing
prices stimulated marketing the nor
thern crop, and considerable guam
titles have arrived from Wisconsin
since the supply in that section was
supposed to have been nearly sold
out. Western New York is still
main source Of supply and estimated
holding there in mid-February were
1900 carloads or more. City mar
kets have been quoting bulk cab
bage at $25 to S35- per ton. Weather
interfered with shipments of Texas
cabbage, which was selling at $3.50
to $3.25 per large crate in northern
markets.
For a time after the Texas freeze
it seemed the northern carrot mar
kets would show sustained strength
but the demand has been only mod
crate and supplies ample. California
continued shipping actively. Recent
sales Of unwashed stock in western
New York have been mostly around
75c per 100 pounds. Northern car
rots, topped, sold around Use a
bushel, in city markets.
Potato Shipments Active
CarlOt movement Of potatoes has
been active lately at the rate of
about 200 cars daily and markets
have been fully supplied while the
demand is rather slow. Higher
prices for southern vegetables
seemed not to have helped the po-
tatO trade much. Some dealers as
sert that the only development that
would strengthen the market now
would be some late injury to the
southern crop. extending the prob
able demand for northern potatoes.
just as the January freeze helped
the onion situation. Prices in nor
thern producing sections have seld-
ON been lower at any time of year.
There was little further change dur
ing the second week of February.
Eastern and midwestern shipping
points quote from 35e to 55c per
100 pounds for sacked stock. Maine
potatoes still sell at SOC to S1.I0 per
100 pounds in eastern city markets.
Southern stock shows little change
in prices, selling at S1.75 to $2.40
per bushel.
Spinach continued to sell at rath-
er high prices, owing to limited
and effect of heavy rains
in producing sections. Good lots
have been selling in northern mar
kets at $3.50 to $2.25 a bushel.
Prices Of sweet potatoes have
held recent slight advances iairly ,

at 75c to $1.25 per bushcl. !

thought of a special plan for the
Yood box
Bobby looked hopeful.
''NO one Of us enjoys filling the
wood box" she continued, so let us
divide that piece of work and each
do his own share or else pay to
have it DONE"
There was a pause.
Il don't understand" said Bobby.
Must l pay out of my allOwance?'
"NOt unless you are unwilling to
do your part, Son." said Mother.
''The wood money, at the beginning,
is to be entirely separate. have
three tin boxes at home, and each
has thirty pennies in It. One is for
Daddy, one for Mother and one for
Son. The wood bax must be filled
twice a day. Two cents is the price
Of each filling. If Mother fills it, one
cent goes to her from Daddy's box
apd one from Sons"
81 see," said Bobby, "and if Dad
dy fills it, one cent goes to him from
my box and one from yours, Mo-
ther."
"Yes, and if Bobby fills it, he gets
the two cents-One from Mothers
box and one from Daddy's," said his
Father.
MAY I spend the wood money 1
earn, MOther?" asked Bobby.
Eyes, If you already have thirty
pennies in your money box. If not,
it must go into the box"
There was another pause.
"I see. But suppose l don't ever
bring in any wood and my pennies
get used up paying to have it
brought in. Then, what shall l dO?"
II think you will probably think
1t fair to bring in some wood, and
so get some pennies in your box"
20, yes-Well, may l Use my al
lowance money instead of bringing
in wood. If want to-"
"Yes."
That's great!"
They were now far from the ant
hill that had started the discussion.
but Bobby was looking intently at
the ground Yes. here was another
ant community. He watched the busy
little creatures a minute. Then he
looked at Mother and Daddy and
smiled. 81 think I'd like to bring in
my share of the wood" he said.

ANT HILLS AND A WOOD BOX
Cora NJ. silvius

OOEd NMs OAANAub
Bobby Bush was an only child
Both father and mother believed
that children should learn to take
responsibility, but although they
had talked much about this to Bob
by, they had never really explained
what 1t meant,
They lived in a small town where
they had to burn wood. Bobby was
given the task of keeping the wood
box filled. But what a terrible task
it was! He declared that 1t made
him wash his hands too often, and
that he had to be brushing his
clothes continually, for it was too
much bother to put on Overalls ev-
cry time. Then Mother read a little
book that set her to thinking. That
evening she discussed the subject
with Daddy.
They agreed that they should take
Bobby into their confidence more
than they had done. So the next day,
which was Sunday, they invited him
to go for a walk with them. They
came upon a large ant hill where
all the little citizens were working
busily, and Daddy, who had read
much about ants, recounted some of
their habits and told of their man
ner of living.
From that, he and Mother led the
conversation to their own home life.
Father explained his particular du-
ties and privileges; then Mother eX-
planned hers. "And what is my
work'?" asked Bobby. Daddy thought
Bobby should consider it his place
to go to the store whenever Mother
wanted him to go. and Mother said
she would like him to take charge
of watering the plants.
"Then," said Daddy, "of course
there are many extra things that
Mother and Daddy do for each other
and for their son. They like to, do
these. Perhaps Bobby will like to do
extra things for Mother and Daddy
from time to time"
Bobby thought he would. Then he
asked suddenly, Would that mean
filling the wood bOx?"

soberly. But" she added, 1--WE

carlot movement OF fruits and
vegetables continued In fairls steady
volume through the first half OF
February, averaging a little above
1000 cars daily. Higher prices stim-
ulated movement of northern cab
bage and onions even from districts
supposed to have been nearly sold
out. Potato movement is active de-
spite rather draggy market pre-
vailing in consuming centers. Some
lines of southern produce are in
creasing with the gradual recovery
from damage caused by freezing
weather. String beans are becoming
abundant again. but the supply of
peppers and tomatoes is nearly all
imported from the West indies at
present.
Trade increased considerably in
city markets after the weather be-
came more moderate and most lines
of fruits and vegetables held re-
cent price gains. Spinach still sold
at high prices because rain IN pro-
ducing sections interfeTed with
shipments. Old cabbage has advanc-
ed rapidly and is selling from two
to three times the prices prevail
ing early in the season. Onions al
so advanced sharply, reaching S1.25
per so pounds at western New York
shipping points. Potatoes have not
shared in the rising markets, owing
to large supplies on track and con-
tinued liberal shipments. Sweet pO-
tatoes are in moderate supply and
prices irregular but average Of job
bling sales shows little change.
Production of many truck crops
is likely to be far less than that Of
last season. In the early group Of
states, cabbage output is expected
to be SO per cent below last year.
green peas 60 per cent less, and
spinach 20 per cent less. The crop
of snap beans in Florida Is expect
ed to be only half as great as for
the 1884 season and of strawberries
10 per cent less. A decrease of 36
per cent is beet production In Texas /
is reported.
The acreage Of most truck crops
is less than that Of last season.
Strawberry acreage in Florida is z /
per cent below last season and to- /
matoes 10 per cent less. Acreage of !
snap beans in Florida remains the |
same and there is an increase Of II |
per- cent for green peppers. Texas
beet acreage is II per cent less I
than for the 1894 season. Caulihower
in California and Oregon Is ~ per
cent less and celery in California
and Florida 13 per cent less. Ala
bama reports a decrease Of AZ per

nj II per cent, and North Carolina |
38 per cent. Georgia shows no
Virginia an increase Of

ports an increase OF $50 per cent.

tion greatly and prices were adyanc-

WASHINGTON
By B. Y. Williams

Long are the years since he fell
asleep
Where the Potomac flows gently
by,
There where Mount Vernon's green
stretches sweep
Under the blue Virginia sky.
Warrior and statesman and patriot
true,
Well had he welded both sword
and pen.
Truly. they said as they laid him to
rest,
First in the hearts of his coun-
trymen."
Long are the years-and the land he
81, loved
Stands among nations, growing
strong and great;
True to his vision of long ago,
Proud of the hand that so shaped
her fate.
Time but adds splendor to fame so
fair.
Years but test greatness-and now
as then
Sleeps he in peace on Mount YER
mons hill,
First in the hearts of his coun-
trymen."
