REAL FOODSTUF SUPLY IS INCREASED HERE Passing of Bad Weather Is Followed by Shipments to D. C. Market. Quick recovery from the effects of the storm was reported this morning by wholesale dealers in the local market. With the continued downpour in this section, storms along the Atlantic coast that played havoc with growing crops, and fruits and nuts in California af- fected by the frost, according to reports, the outlook early in the week was any- thing but bright. In addition to soaking the fields and gardens in the District and nsarby Maryland and Virginia, which made dif- foult the gathering of early vegetables and the hauling of commodities from sections off the State roads, condtions were such that many of the regular haulers who bring eggs and poultry to the local market experienced trouble- some delays. Shipments Arrive. Many of the belated haulers reached here yesterday and today, however, with hundreds of crates of eggs, some store- packed butter and other commodities from the farms. None of the State roads was seriously demaged, so far as haulers reported, but some of the unim- | proved roads suffered washouts that necessitated detours. Improved weather conditions Thurs- day made it possible for truckers to gather kale. spinach and other greens and early vegetables that resulted in boosting receipts for the week-end trade. Storm conditions hampered the work of oystermen and fishermen to the ex- tent of making marine products scarce and high for the Friday trade. Dealers believe that continued good weather the next few days will result in largely increased receipts of commodities and possibly cheaper prices. In spite of all the bad weather, however, dealers ‘were able to supply demands for most foodstuffs, prices of several commodities being higher than prices quoted last week. Retailers were very much in evidence during the early morning hours, seeking supplies for their week-end trade, and wholesalers had an attractive display of commodities from which to make selec- tions. A wide range of prices was quoted for various varieties and grades ©of commodities. Today’s Wholesale Prices—Jobbers® ' Prices Slightly Higher.

Oranges, bananas, pincapples, straw- berries, apples, pears and alligator pears claimed attention in the fruit market this week, dealers also having small quantities of grapes that were not in great demand. “Bananas are to be had at all times of the year,” remarked a wholesaler, and the demand for them usually is good. It scems to be the real leader in the fruit market. “Comparatively few persons fully understand about the gathering and handling of bananas,” said a merchant dealing in the tropical fruit, “nor do they realize that they can be prepared in more than a score of ways for the table.” Merchants had plentiful supplies of the fruit on hand this week, prices covering the wide range between $1.25 and $2.50 a bunch, size and condition being the determining factors. Oranges have been unusually plentiful this season, according to reports, the number of smail ones received here having been exceptionally large and prices correspondingly low. Some ex- ceptionally good fruit has.arrived here this week from Florida and California. Florida stock was quoted from $3 to $4.50, while California stock sold from $4.50 to $7. Fruit of Good Quality. Grapefruit rece{vcd the past few days have been of splendid quality, dealers report, and some were large size. They were in fair demand at prices ranging from $2.50 to $3.75. Pineapples, from Porto Rico, many of them green, were quoted at $6 for 36s and $6.75 for 24s. Light receipts of apples were reported throughout the week, the season for the popular fruit fast drawing to a close. The demand was reported about as light as the receipts, continuing the market steady. Bushel baskets of Vir- ginia stock are selling around $2 and $2.50, while box stock from the West xre quoted at $2 and $3 the past few ys. Strawberries are being received from North Carolina and Louisiana growers. They have come in moderate quantities the past few days, receipts having in- creased since last week, and found slow sale, making the market weaker. Some were in ordinary condition and gritty, effects of the wet weather, while some were of choicest quality. They sold from $3.50 to $6.50 a crate. Dealers this morning predicted that Spring greens and the small Spring vegetables probably will be more plen- tiful and cheaper the coming week. Spinach and kale, quoted at 50 cents a bushel early in the week, old at $1 the past few days, and much of the spinach came from distant places. Wet weather, however, made it next to impossible to gather the greens on nearby farms and truck gardens, and its scarcity sent prices soaring. Growing asparagus in the nearby country also was affected by the rainy weather. Increased receipts were re- ported the past two or three days, however, and slightly lower prices ruled. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Maryland growers are contributing supplies to local dealers. While receipts showed an increase, | Shef, according to reports, only moderate quantities of the vegetable are being received. Dealers report a good demand for large, green stock. Prices ranged from $2.75 and $3 for small stock to $5 and $5.50 for large size. Lima beans, reported scarce the past month, were received in small quantities the past three days. They were of good quality, dealers report, and found ready sale at $6 a hamper. Peas have been received in such liberal quantities the past few days that the market was weakened. South Carolina bushel hampers, Laxtons, wWere gquoted this ! moming’ at $1.75 $2.25, some of { ordinary quality selling at $1 and $1.50. Other Vegetable Receipts. Increased receipts of lettuce the past few days, chiefly Arizona stock, iceberg type, resulted in lower prices. Dealers quoted the popular vegetable mostly at $6 and $6.25 a crate, few fancy lettuce selling as high as $6.50. Big Boston- type lettuce, North Carolina product, was offered at $2 and $3 a crate. A dull condition of the market on old-stock potatoes, with a price around $1.90 for 150-pound sacks, was reported this week, and dealers reported a light demand for new stock." %flw umock,ds‘g'n;l;dm% ml , are at 7 an .25 & barrel, d Light receipts of tomatoes, chiefly Florida stock, met & light demand this ‘week that continued the market steady.

PARTON, Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 20.—The “Wolf of Wall Street” is now as respectable as an old sheep dog. He sleeps in the parlor, has a collar with the family coat-of- arms on it, and can dig up all the peonies and bury bones in the front yard if he wants to. The Reid resolution in Congress for the investigation of the Federal Reserve Board is the first instance in American history in whi- the country at large, through its Congressmen, has gone to the ald of stock speculation. With Representatives Reid of Illinois, Strong of Kansas and Wingo of Arkansas sponsoring the resolution, the fanged monster of yesteryear gets a blessing from a domain whence only curses used to come. Robert L. Owen, formar United States Senator from Oklahoma, who led the fight for the passage of the Federal reserve act, now takes the brokers’ end of the argument with the board. Was Good Vote-Getter. Even before the abortive Populist up- rising in these States a yappant, even ululant, outery against the Wolf of Wall Street carried farther than a prize- winning hog call and got more votes than any other issue or alarm. But now that the wolf is just old Shep—muddy and full of cockle burs, but privileged— they've gotta stop kickin’ our dog around. ‘Wall Street itself finds a simple and entirely plausible explanation for all this. The first New York stock trading session was held in 1792 at 68 Wall street under a buttonwood tree. In a little less than a century and a half the buttonwood tree has spread. its branches over the entire country. In 1926 sales on the Stock Exchangs were 499,105,000 shares. In 1928 they were 919,146,800 shares. During the last few years com- munications have been geared up to & ! point where the entire country can maintain continuous and instantaneous contact with the tape, and thus me- chanical facilities alone have contrib- uted greatly to the fact that public par- ticipation throughout the Nation in- f;%fed more than 50 per cent during The total market value of all listed shares on the exchange is now about $100,000,000,000. In 1900 the national wealth of the country Was $88.000,000,- 000. It is now about $350,000,000,000. This proportion of the value of listed securities to national wealth, combined with the fact that security-holders have increased from 4,000,000 to possibly 15,- 000,000 in the last 15 years, is sufficient in itself to prove that the public is | “sitting in.” Away out to the end of the national pike humble and obscure cit- izens are making six straight passes and shouting “Let her ride.” The Congress- men lend an ear. Lindbergh’s Book. Representative Charles Lindbergh, father of the flying colonel, made some strangely prophetic utterances in Con- gress in opposing the passage of the Federal reserve act. A lonely and tragic figure and always playing a lone hand, he fought desperately and hope- lessly against the new legislation. He wrote a book, now buried under thick | layers of dust in the Congressional Li- brary, in which he predicted that the provisions for the control of ecredit would be ineffective; he predicted that within 10 years of operation under the act there would be undreamed-of and incalculable inflation and a vast en- | richment of banks; he predicted that in any critical situation the board would be overridden and ignored by financial interests, and that it would eventually | be opposed by the very men who were advocating the act. | EXCHANGE HIGHER By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 20.—Less than a year ago Chicago Stock Exhange tickers were in operation only in New York and Chicago. ‘Today the Chicago exchange's cir- cuits reach 28 cities, or will reach that number within 30 days when present installations are completed. As against 103 tickérs operating in two clties less than a year ago, 326 tick- ers will be in operation when work has been completed in the 27 cities or presently to be reached by the Chicago circuits. Plans already have been made to add Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Columbus, Ohio; Lexington, Ky.; Mem- phis, Little Rock, New Orleans, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Lincoln, Nebr.; Topeka, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, and Dallas, The circuits when extended to the Southwest are expected to lead to more trading in oil issus on the Chicago ex- change, just as the extension of the circuits in the Middle West and the near Northwest had led to more trading in Midwest industrial issues during the past year.

Slightly increased receipts ‘Thursday and yesterday was an indica- tion of what they expect next week. Fish and oysters were exceptionally scarce most of the week, and gfleu were much higher than is usual at this season. Very few oysters have been re- ceived since the storm abated, but it is believed by dealers that they will be fairly plentiful in a few days. Meat and try have con- tinued high all the week, and dealers this morning were unable to suggest what will happen the com week, Butter changed several times during week.

THE MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE A very sericus situation now faces | g, the local growers of garden beans of all types, bush, pole and lima. The Mex- ican bean beetle is here and last year fully demonstrated its ability to destroy this crop. Without doubt the home gardener must spray or dust if he ex- pects to grow beans. Farmers' Bulle- tin No. 1407, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, de- scribes the insect and its work and sug- gests means of overcoming its ravages. As fllustrated in one of the accompany- ing pictures, the bean beetle occurs in two forms, the adult beetle, well marked by gight black spots on each wing cover, and the larva, orange colored and cov- ered with long-branched spines. Both adult and young feed voraciously on all kinds of beans and to a lesser ex- tent on many other plants, such as cow- peas, soy beans, alfalfa and sweet clover, All parts of the bean plant above ground are attacked, so that in bad infestations the plants may be completely destroyed. Both adults and larvae feed first on the lower surface of the leaves, eating out narrow sections and leaving a peculiar network which is very characteristic and unlike the work of most other insects. Control, of course, is uppermost in the mind of the gardener. Fortunately, successful means of control have been developed, but where the great diffi- culty comes is in the vast numbers of the beetle. One crop of insects may be destroyed only to be followed by suc- cessive waves of attack. Another diffi- culty in control is the habit of eating from the underside of the leaf, which means that the spray or dust must be deposited on the lower leaf surface. In spraying, this is accomplished by the use of an upturned nozzle. With dusting, there is naturally more dis- persion in all directions, yet the bulle- tin suggests the need of reaching the underside of the leaves. Spraying Is conceded more effective than dusting, but is more difficult. Magnesium arsenate, 1 ounce in 3 gallons of water, is recommended as a spray. Magnesium arsenate has proved less injurious to the follage than have other arsenates. Lead arsenate, for example, was found so harmful as to be avoided under any condition. Magnesium arsenate diluted with hydrated lime, one part to three in heavy infestations and one to five parts of lime in light attacks, is recom~ mended as a dust. ‘These arsenicals are poisonous, and beans so treated should be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before using. With shell beans, where the pod is discarded, washing is, of course, not necessary. A pyrethrum oil soap, sold under a trade name, has been found a real success, but is somewhat more costly. It has, however, the advantage of leav. ing no poisonous residue on the beans. Just what the outcome of the home gardener's battle with the Mexican bean beetle is to be is a debatable ques- tion, It would be almost a death blow to the vegetable garden to lose the bean crop. With diligent spraying and burying of bean plants as soon as the crop is harvested there is an optimistic outlook. One of the strange facts about the Mexican bean beetle is that it is one of the ladybirds, a family of usually highly beneficial insects be- cause of their predatory habits on scales and other harmful insects. | THE NARCISSUS | From the viewpoint of the ordinary every day home gardener, the narcissus is hard to equal as an early Spring flower. Unlike the tulip, it does not require lifting every year, but will flourish for four or five years or even more until overcrowded. Micesdo not eat the bulbs as they do lilies and tulips. Culture is a benefit to the narcissus, but it is not at all necessary with many varieties such as Emperor and Barri Conspicuous, which are able to live in sod without any care. The range of flowering season is ordi- narily five or six weeks in length from golden spur to the old fashioned pheasant eye poeticus. There is a world of new and better varieties that should come to the home gardener’s attention as soon as possible. Unfor- tunately, many of these are rather costly, due in part to the quarantine 2gainst European grown bulbs. Ameri- can growers and EUropean growers operating in America are working hard to fill the gap and it won't be many years before these new varieties will be within the reach of all. Croesus, ber- nadino, bonfire, with its deep red cup, beersheba, the pure white trumpet, and the poetaz hybrids, such as laurens koster and elvira, with their several blooms on one stem, all de- serve places in the Spring flower gar- den and with their compeers are cer- tain to replace in time the more common forms of today. It is doubtful if size alone will bring permanent popu- larity. It is not possible to believe that Van Waveren's giant and olympia can hold public favor when the new varieties such as croesus and become available and better known.

This desirable plant, com- monly known as Ground Pink or Moss Pink, occurs in many colors from pure white to blue and is very use- ful wherever one wsihes to cover the soil with a mat of bloom and attrac- tive foliage. ‘The hot weather of a past week or two was not at all desirable from the gardener’s standpoint, When flowers like narcissus, for example, which are supposed to last for several weeks, all come out in one burst of bloom, is is real disappointing. Furthermore, the individual blooms soon wither under the unusual heat and at their best are not equal in color or size to those produced in normal years. + What appears to be Winter injury in the red raspberry plantation may very well be the resulis of weakening by the mosiac desease. When the red raspberry becomes badly infected, about the only real remedy is to dig out and burn the plants and start again next year with a fresh stock bought from some reliable dealer. A card to the Department of Agriculture or to the State Experiment Station will bring the information desired., How many of the home gardeners realize that there is a pink flowered dogwood, differing only in color from the native form? This is a very at- tractive plant, deserving consideration on the large home place, Aphids are now present on the roses, the last pest to leave in Autumn and the first to return in the Spring. A little nicotine sulphate in a weak so- lution of soapsuds will clear the foli- age of aphids.
