The potato markets this wek
how an upward trend and since the
aveuUiern crop is practically all on
tfce markets and due to the fact that
-labor can hardly be secured it would
,eem that western growers may feel
canfldent of a substantial market for
Jfteir raisings. The Facker, of Kan
a City, which carries the latest
Available dope on the condition of
ike spud crops and markets, has the
following to say:
LAWRENCE, Kan. Kaw Valley
potato growers are all . smiles this
week for prices which seemed two
.weeks ago to be improbable are now
. reality. Mot that 12.7503 pe
wt, the price to the growers for No.
1 stock this week, is unreasonably
feign, but as one Jocal grower said
tfclf week, "It certainly does look
food In comparison with $2, the
rice which early ast week seemed
destined to take the entire crop."
The first oads went out of the Val
ley around $2.25 per cwt. delivered
ta the cars and one or two sales dur-,-iof
the early movement were made
A high as 12.50. but the market
oon receded until it looked as if S
would take the crop. Several cars of
strictly No. 1 stock were loaded at
.that figure and It is said that one or
two growers made contracts With
.Kansas City houses at 11.60 per cwt.
leaded on the cars this week.
But the situation has changed.
Unexpected competition has develop-
-ed a.nd demand is keen from all
quarters. Buyers are covering the
valley thoroughly all the way from
Kansas City to Topeka and practical
IT everyone Is armed with waiting
orders. Practically ' everything Is
Mag bought outright.
. Several factors have combined to
ause the advance. In the first place
Hi crop of Southern Triumphs is
tout out of the way, leaving the
tleld in this territory open for the
JCaw Valley Ohlos and Cobblers.
This alone is quite important for as
Jong as Triumphs are to be had they
eem to be taken at a premium over
Olios and Cobblers. With the South
rn stock oui or me way, it now
ems only good fortune , that the
local crop was late this year, there
by coming on the market practically
jmone.
: Another factor far in the East is
bought to be of considerable impor
tance to the local situation. The
teamsters' strike and other labor
4iturbances have been settled with
result that Eastern Shore pota
toes are finding a good market right
Along the Atlantic and are not com
4f West to compete with the Kansas
reduction. Another thing of no
small consequence is the light dig
ging this week. There has been con
Iderable conflict between the wheat
harvest and the pota-io harvest, much
to the disadvantage of potato digging
Ince the wheat need is of more im
mediate importance. Labor is in
sufficient to properly handle the
wheat crop and no one It going to
leave the wheat fields to dig pota
toes. Loading has been much light
er than anticipated last week and
the summit will not come now before
next week.
Quality is showing up better than
expected and it la now generally con
ceded that the blight and rot scare of
two weeks ago was of little conse
quence. A few fields are running as
high as 200 bushels to the acre, but
the most down around 100 bushels.
Some of the men who hsve covered
the Valley from end to end since the
digging began say the average yield
will be less than 100 bushels, but
others maintain that this is unduly
bullish.

Carollnas brought 15.60.
Last week the market was very
firm. i
The market on old potatoes is fin
ished for the season. The few cars
lying around are selling for what
ever receivers can get for them, gen
erally under a range or II1 2 per
ISO pound bulk or bag.
New York 8nwl Market Higher.
NEW YORK South Jersey pota
toes have begun to come into the
market but the receipts are not very
heavy and it will be perhaps a week
or so before they get started in fairly
good shape. The quality, however,
is improving every day and Jersey
stock in bags this week was selling
around $4.5004.75.
The bulk of the potatoes, of
course, are coming from Virginia. A
few Florldas are around and Georgia
and South Carolina are winding up.
Eastern Shore and Norfolk potatoes
are bringing the top prices on ac
count of qaullty. The receipts, how
ever, are heavy both by rail and
boat. Monday there were about 85
cars In from the South on the Penn
sylvania pier and 12,000 barrels by
Old Dominion steamer. The price on
No. 1 ranged from 1 4 ot $5 and this
covered everything that would grade
up. On Virginia and Eastern Shore
stock, which would grade as seconds,
the range was from $2 to $2.75.
North Carolinas, South Carollnas
and Georgias generally brought 50c
per barrel below Eastern Shore and
Norfolk potatoes.
The market was stronger Tuesday
and about 60c per barrel higher, No.
1 reaching $5.50. This was followed
by another advance of 50c per barrel
on Eastern Shore stock Wednesday.
The outside quotation on No. 1 stock
from that section was $8. However,
Demard Wrong In Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO New stock rlv
er potatoes tooS a decided brace the
first of the week both in price and
demand. Buyers on the wharf were
burning up shoe leather in their
eagerness to get supplies to fill their
requirements. Trading has opened
up well under small receipts of this
stock and with a spirited demand,
prices advanced to $3 for boxes and
sacked stock brought $2.85 per cwt,
while inferior grades brought a TTUle
lower price. Street sales on Garnets
show very little change over last
week with the market steady and
prices around ZiQZ per pound
for the best.
Ice house stocks of old potatoes
are reported to be moving out in
good shape and K looks as though
the crop will clean up better than
was expected. The market Is steady
with the price ranging around $2.26
per cwt. as the Job. No outside
shipping Is recorded of any great ex
tent with the principal business
transacted being confined to local
areas. Receipts since last Wednes
day have amounted to 7,8 50 sacks. ,

In addition to this service, the bu
reau is organizing a special service
for growers to assist In controlling
disease. A specialist will be obtain
ed and he will spend his time with
the growers directing the fight
against wilt, leaf-roll, rhlzoctonla,
blight and other diseases. General
letters will also be sent out to grow
ers. A nominal charge will be made
for this service.
The Steuben County Growers As
sociation, Inc., has just checked up
on its activities for the potato season
now closed. There were 197 cars
handled. The board of directors for
this year are Clarence G. Gray, North

New York Crop In Good Shop.
ROCHESTER, N. Y. The weath
for the last fortnight has been rather
hot for potatoes in Western New
York to do their best. The crop is
up In good shape and cultivating is
now in order. Insect pests, includ
lng flea beetles and the regulation
potato bug, have been rather plen
tiful.
The Monroe county farm bureau
is organizing potato growers who de
sire inspection of the growing crop
preliminary to offering the tubers for
seed another season. This work has
been carried on here regularly for
the last two years and fields which
passed the tests Including the two
growing Inspections and the 4nspec
tion of the tubers after digging, have
netted a substantial return through
the higher prices obtainable for seed
purposes. The work is under the

Moving Freely from Louisville. .
LOUISVILLE. Ky. The carlot
movement of potatoes out of this
district is now well under way, and
will be at its height by next week.
The crop is up to normal and of
very fine quality. Shippers early in
the week were quoting $3.25 per
cwt., sacked on board cars.
A few cabbage shipments are still
going forward, but the bulk of the
crop has been shipped. A few small
lots are still moving out around $ 1
l.io per 100-pound crate ln car-
lots.
Onions are in excellent demand
and have dried out nicely. Ship
tnents early in the week moving out
at around $4.25 per cwt.
Indications are that potato and
onion shipments will be moving
steadily for several weeks to come.
A recent report on onions shows that
a total of 142 cars have been moved
out of the county. Onion seta are
looking fine and promise a good crop.
DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS. USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lota of water
and eat less meat
When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sere, don't get soared and proeeed
to load your stomach with a. lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels eleaa,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mil activity. The function of the kid
aeys is to niter the blood. . Ia g hours
they strain from it 00 grain of add
and waste, so we eaa readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink fcrta of water yon east drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about' four ounces 'of Jad baits; take
a tablespoonful in a glass ot water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate dogged kid
neyst also to neutralise the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in-
!ure; makes a delightful effervescent
it h ! water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
vour kidney trouble and tJr .
