HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATF What Is Going on Here and Thero That Is of Interest to the Read ers Throughout Nebraska and Vicinity. Arlington, Neb. The npplo crop In iIiIb vicinity Is the largest this season that It has been for yenrs, hut tho market Is Tar from satisfactory, prices being comparatively low with no local demand, owing to the fact, perhaps that thero Is no one at this point mnklng a business ot buying and shipping. Thero aro u few orchards near here whoso owners ship their own apples, but they aro not buying tho crops of other orchards. The best market found so far by theso shippers has been northwestern Kansas, with n lighter demand from western Ne braska, thnn has been tho c.tso for n good many yearn. Wealthy and Ut ters havo been bringing from $2 to $2.25 per standard three-bushel barrel for cookers. Eating apples lmvo been In -good demand at $t per bushel box. Sweet apples $2 per barrel. These aro fall apples and not what arc classed as good keepers. Thero aro a largo number of farm ers In this locality owning ctcnslve orchards and they are tho ones who mnko tho most complaint, many of thorn being unablo to make any dis position or their apples, with the re sult that there are thousands of bush els going to wasto or being fed to cattlo nnd bogs. Some of thees farm ers have sold windfall Wealthy and Utter, delivered In town, at from 20 cents to 25 cents per bushel, while tho best offer they enn get from out side buyers for hand picked fruit Is .10 cents to 10 cents per bushel. Just what will be offered for winter varieties Is a matter of conjecture, but It Is probablo that the price will rango around 50 cents per bushel for hand picked apples closely graded. Thero has been n decided drop in the market on fall apples the last ten days, so there Is poor prospect of the fnrmer realizing a great deal on his crop, though even at present prices tho apples from an acre of fruiting orchard nro still worth many times an aero of any other crop.
