PRODUCE. MARKET NOTES

Trade was fairly good in the pro-
duce markets the third week of Feb
rdary. according to the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economies. Supplies OF
most lines were moderate but var
liable quality and condition of green
produce from sections recently af-
fected by unfavorable crop weather
brought wide range of prices.
Potato markets continued fairly
steady In the East, but firm at Chi
cago and In the West. The recent
sharp advances In onion prices were
holding strongly with some further
gains. Northern cabbage and carrots
sell at nearly steady prices, but
southern stock of good quality ad-
vanced. Green peas continue In very
light supply and sell at high prices.
Southern string beans bring SO to
81 a bushel and are advancing in
producing sections.
Western lettuce holds at rather
firm prices for the small proportion
of stock showing good market quail
ity and best lots bring tops Of $3.50
per crate. Apple markets are about
steady In the East, but firm In the
Middle West and Northwest. Straw
berries advanced around 1c, pint
basis, in Florida and In some nor
thern markets.
Prices of many fruits and vege-
tables seem likely to continue higher
than a year ago In early spring,
partly because of checks to produc-
ti6n and partly from the good de-
mand. Beans and peas are higher
than last year; beets and carrots
about the same; spinach and toma-
toes lower. The apparently lower
price of tomatoes is mainly due to
the wide range of market quality.
Among fruits, apples, oranges. and
lemons are higher than q year ago;
grapefruit and Strawberries lower.
Cariot shipments Of fruits and
vegetables increased 6 per cent for
the second week of February and
continued active after the middle of
the month. There were sharp In
creases for spinach, green's, celery,
grapefruit, cabbage, western lettuce.
carrots, and canlifiower, and for
northern onions. Apple carlot out
put decreased moderately.
Potato Markets Firm
General tone of the potato market
continues firm but the further small
advances have been mainly In the
Far West. Countrywide prices at
carIot shipping points on round
white varieties were s1.95 to s2.35
per 100 pounds. Western baking va
rietles reached $3.50 at some points. |
Maine No. ] sacked stock continues
to sell around $1.95 at loading sta
tions. Dealers have been paying
growers s275 to SO per barrel bulk
for table stock.
. At current prices Maine stock has
been. able TO compete strongly In
markets. but demand
from the usual eastern market ter
ritory has been rather SLOW. Some
lots went as far west as Minneapo-
lis and demand has improved from
Louisiana, and Texas.
Demand for other eastern potatoes
continues rather slow. shippers are
paying growers in western New
York $1.15 bulk per bushsl, but !
many growers are holding for high /
sr prices. Some truckers are offer-
ng $1.25. occasionally higher. 1

American Communists Stand With
Organized Labor

@1
The working class, the farmers,
and the working middle classes, are
in overwhelming majority support
ing Roosevelt's proposal for reform
ing the Supreme Court. A referen-
dunn on the Supreme Court issue
today would register a disgraceful
defeat for all those interests and in
dividuals who are trying so hard to
muddle the public mind on this vital
question-in spite of the fact that
more than 80 per cent of the press
is against Supreme Court reform.
This is particularly true of the
organized labor movement. Even

People who live in mud houses
must live in hot dry climates. This
accounts for the prevalence of adobe
huts in the southwest, particularly
New Mexico and Arizona. The chief
objection to them is their inability
to Withstand changeable weather
conditions. Now scientists at the
Leland Stanford University in Cali
fornia have evolved a weather
~proofing chemical containing resin,
acetone and toluene which forms an
excellent protection against erosion
and corrosion. The use Of this COM
pound has provided a strong impetus
to the use of adobe for widespread
housing construction by the Re-
settlement Administration of the
federal government.
