Food PrlcM Lower.
So far as the farm laborer was
to!imied, the 27 per cent decline
in hi wagr wai. in Jjrge part,
rotnpi nattd for by the reduced
wholesale prices of food consumed
by lii f ijnily. The laborer general
ly buys moot of his supplies from his
employer at wholesale rales, rather
than from a retail store, according
to the department.
Tin bureau of labor statistics of
the Department of Labor estimates
a drop of 27 per cent in retail food
prices during last year. The Ren
era! decline on wholesale prices is
frequently estimated as 40 per cent,
on the average,
Day labor in harvest time during
V)2l received S2.7'i per day without
board and $2.24 with board. Outside
of harvest, the sum of $2.22 was paid
without board and $1.98 with board.
These figures do not include vari
ous supplementary allowances, such
as milk, cow pasture, firewood and
the like.
The smallest decline with respect
to methods of hiring 33 per cent,
was for labor hired by the month
without board and the largest de
cline, 40 per cent, was for day labor
with board outside of harvest time.
With respect to geographic divisions,
the larpest decline was in the south
ri' d north central states west of the
!issisipni river. In the mountain
and Tacilic states the decline was 35
per cent; in the north central states
of the Mississippi 33 per cent, and
in the no'th Atlantic states 27 per
cent. The smaller declines occurred
in the industrial regions.
Higher Than in 1913.
The farm wase average for 1921
was still much higher than in 1913,
the year before the world war, with
a range from 41 per cent above for
birings by the month with board, to
4S per cent for day labor outside
of harvest and without board. Part
of this gain, might have come to
farm wages had there been no war,
since the records of the Department
of Agriculture , extending back to ,
1866 show n tendency for farm wage
rates to rise from year to year.
Test of board, often including
lodgincr. is not generally reckoned by
farmers with precision, but the al
lowance for this appears in the dif
ference between the rates with and
without board. In hiring by the
day in and out of harvest, the board
allowance is 55 cents and 54 cents,
respectively, while in hiring by the
month, it is $13.18 or 44 cents a day.

Quaker City Ranks Third
as White Potato Market
Shipments Received Annually Total Approximately
7,000 Carloads Large Part of Supply Grown
in Eastern and Southern Sections Run
Heaviest by Far During Month of June.
Philadelphia ranks third among
me cities oi tue united Mates in
the consumption of white potatoes,
using over one-third as many as
New York and more than half as
many as Chicago, according to the
United States department of agri
culture. With the exception of these
cities and Pittsburgh, which takes
nearly as many as the Quaker City,
Philadelphia unloads two or three
times as many carloads as any
available, averaging nearly 7,000 cars
per year for the five-year period of
1916 to 1920. The above figures
do not include the home-grown po
tatoes, of which there are several
hundred carloads annually.
Receipts were by far heaviest for
June, supplies during that month
always exceeding 1,000 cars and
averaging 1,196, compared with
an average of 578 cars - for all
months. June is the month when
supplies of old stock, then nearly
exhausted, are being replaced "by
shipments of new potatoes from the
south, and arrivals from Florida and
South Carolina reach their height
during this month. If home-grown
stocks, which would ordinarily fill
several hundred cars, were included
in the tabulation, July would nearly
.equal the record of June.
Summer Heaviest Season.
The period of heavy receipts is
from April to November, while un
loadings from December to March
average only about 400 cars per
month. Actual supplies m the win
ter and spring include the surplus
from the fall receipts. Consumption,
probably, does not differ greatly
from month to month, except tor tne
sharp increase in June following the
arrival of the new crop.
Nearby growers specialize on the
early crop. Over two-thirds of the
home-grown stock comes in June,
July and August, when fresh pota
toes usually command high prices.
Imports, usually only a few hundred
carloads, arrive during the winter
months.
The bulk of winter and early
spring receipts are from Pennsyl
vania, New York and Maine. New
stock from the southeastern states
supplies the market in summer.
Most of the potatoes from Florida
arrive in May and June, from the
Carolinas in June and from Vir
ginia in August. Supplies from Vir
ginia and New Jersey -are heavy dur
ing June and July. New Jersey
leads in August and Pennsylvania
and New Jersey during the fall
months.
. Shipments on Increase.
Of the city's average yearly sup
plies 6,938 cars, excluding home
grown stock Pennsylvania has
shipped an average of 1,843 cars an
nually for five years and Virginia
1,159. New Jersey and New York
have each averaged from 700 to 800
cars yearly.
The proportion of supplies from
Virginia has tended to decrease
during the five years, but the volume
of shipments from Pennsylvania and
New Jersey has shown an upward
tendency. Shipments from northern
producing sections, chiefly Michigan
and Wisconsin, have approached
1,000 cars in some years when the
price justified long distance ship
ments of the main crop. Usually the
proportion of northern and western
shipments has been small and the
greater part of the city's supply has
originated in 'eastern and southern
states. Of the average yearly total,
slightly less than one-half came from
the early shipping states.
Pennsylvania stock brings higher
prices than potatoes from other sec
tions, though the Petoskey Russet
and Green Mountain varieties find
much favor and bring a higher scale
of prices than other varieties from
the same shipping sections. Consid
erable price variation is notiCeanle in
stock from different counties of Penn
sylvania, because of different soil con
ditions and more careful methods of
grading.
Because of these reasons, the Ma
cuugie section of Pennsylvania has
made a reputation for its potatoes
which bring the growers a premium
over other potatoes sold in the Phil
adelphia market. Another important
source of supply for Philadelphia is
the York-Lancaster district.
Mainly Consuming Center.
Like most other large eastern
cities, Philadelphia is mainly a con
suming center. There is very little
interstate distribution from Philadel
phia or by Philadelphia dealers.
Among the larger dealers, three
firms are interested in the New Jer
sey crop and three may be classed
as distributors of Pennsylvania
stock. These firms have agents in
the producing sections who buy
from growers and dealers.
The stock is then sold and dis
tributed through the Philadelphia of
fices. One reason that probably has
hindered the development of the dis
tributing trade is the fact that the
railroads have no transfer junction
at Philadelphia through which either
New Jersey or Pennsylvania stock
may be distributed. Nor has the
trade in Philadelphia the advantage
of large potato warehouses such as
are located near Boslon and New
York. '

Delicious Food.
There is nothing better for break
fast than corn diMies," says Mr.
Gray. "Corn is wholesome food for
any meal, and, when cooked prop
erly, a delicious one. It is to the
interest not only of the corn belt,
but of the whole nation that the
farmers ihould receive the cct of
production for their crops. The in
creased price of corn already has
done much to liven up business.
Anything to increase the demand for
corn products will help the west."
Mr. Gray, as chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, lias been in
strumental in having corn bread
served with every meal there. The
agricultural committee also is urging
manufacturers to advertise their
products more intensively.
Placards Posted.
In every station along the lines of
the Union Pacific system, placards
are to be posted urging the people
to see that some food produced
from corn is on their tabic at least
once each day. These give a dozen
home cooking recipes for delicious
dishes made from corn.
"Eat corn, reduce your living ex
penses, gratify yourself and help
America," is the slogan of these
placards. "If . you help create a de
mand for corn, the farmer can pay
his debts and buy merchandise; the
merchant can buy more goods; the
manufacturer can put more men to
work at good wages, and they, in
turn, have money for food and
clothes and the comforts of life, and
the country prospers," the bulletin
reads.
It is further declared that even if
the present price of corn were
doubled, one-half pound per ' day
would cost less than 3 cents.

More Furtucri Plan to
Have Their "Sim.!"
Certified.
Hemingfurd, Neb., The teed po
tato deal is jtut closing for this dis
trict fur the season of A much
larger crop of teed potatoes wat pro
duced in 1921 than usual, largely on
account of a greatly increased
acreage. The favorite variety for
this section is Illist Red Triumphs
and several growers took extra
pains with their potatoes this last
season and had them certified.
The certification work it tarried
on by II. O. Werner of the College
of Agriculture of the Slate university.
Next year probably 30 per cent of
the farmers are planning to Improve
their potatoes so that they can be
certified. In 19J1 all of the certified
potatoes were of the Triumph
variety, but next year a good many
certified Ohios and Cobblers will be
raised.
The market for the Triumphs is
In the North I'latte vallev and in the
extreme southern part of the United
States. The price to the Rrowera
for uncertified Triumphs started in
the fall at 70 cents until the very
best grades. of uncertified Triumph
seed has reached the price of $1.65
per bushel, sacked, to the growcra
Certified seed has been much higher
from the beginning of the season.
The first sales were $1.60 per bushel
for November delivery and the final
sales were around $2.25 per bushel.
George Gabus, a prominent
grower, starting with ordinarily
pond seed last season, by good care
and by eliminating all potato dis
