Potatoes and Butter Prices Move in Seattle Market
Market notes from Seattle discuss ongoing potato price pressure and efforts by Western Avenue houses to prevent rapid gains. For butter the trend favors local demand with some shipments and cooler storage holding, while raw milk bids to producers slip to 2 dollars per hundredweight. The turkey market gains momentum as jobbers bid for fancy dry picked stock, with weekly purchasing prices and livestock quotes across poultry, hogs, beef, veal, and lambs included.

Para-dichlorobenzene Use Expands in Georgia Peach Belt
The gas at 74 to 80 F, five times heavier than air, sinks through soil and kills borers. One pound costs under 25 cents and treats 8 to 10 trees. Labor costs are down about one third. This year usage rose in Georgia peach regions with some localities buying up to 50 000 pounds and large growers up to 2 tons each. Growers call it a major breakthrough, akin to lime sulfur treatments for brown rot and scab.
