Increase in 1936 Crops Figures on vegct'ible production

for 1936 (21 crops not including potatoes, sweet potatoes or farm garden) show marked increase in dollar value of vegetable crops and an increase in tonnage ibut a de-cline in price index.

Dollar value of all vegetables in-cluding potatoes, sweet potatoes and farm garden as charted in Figure 2, rises from $775,000,000 in 1935 to $880,000,000 in 1936.

Statistical information on vege-tables is far from perfect—not near-ly as thorough-going and depend-able as for some of the general farm crops. For potatoes, the service is much better than with the other vegetables. Nevertheless, the infor-mation is of great value and should be followed by those who wish to understand the situation from year to year.

Growers need to make two contri-butions to the situation. One is pres-sure upon Congress and our Legis-latures for better and fuller service. The second is actual cooperation up-on the part of growers themselves in gathering and turning in depen-dable data.

The best soil for potatoes is one that is well drained and has been cultivated for potatoes or other crops and will show a soil test of pH 5.6, which is quite acid.

Spraying trees annually with bor-deaux mixture or lime-sulfur will destroy the moss and lichens that grow on the bai-k and harbor injur-ous fungi and insects. The moss and lichens must be covered with the spray.

The Oregon Experiment Station has conducted experiments in co-operation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and this summarizes the result.

Mrs. Hazel T. Hudson is now as-sociated with Mrs. Grace L. l^jfin * in the management of the Oregon Dress Shoppe, Mattituck's most pop-ular women's apparel store. This shop now has an interesting display of summer styles, showing frocks, • coats and hats.

The Oregon Dress Shoppe is now conducting a monthly drawing in which all patrons are invited to par-ticipate. Mrs. Montaigne LeValley # won the initial drawing last Thurs-day.

CARD OF THANKS

Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Robinson wish to thank the Mattituck Fire-men for their prompt and splendid work in putting out the f ire Tues-day evening on their farm. The fire- ^ men saved the barn tind buildings from being totally destroyed a ^ their help is greatly appreciated. ^ ^

Dr. Stanley P. Jones of Mattituck^ was appointed Chief of Staff of the Eastern Long Island Hospital at the regular monthly meeting of the Hos-pital Staff . Dr. Hans Joergensen of Greenport was also appointed as secretary. •

GIRL SCOUTS TO GIVE MAY DAY FLOWER FETE

Potato Market Weak Both old and new potatoes ruled

weak in tone in N. Y. last week und-er draggy buying support. Receipts of new stock were liberal with of-ferings in first hands accumulating fairly rapidly each day and buyers displaying little interest. Distribu-tors were being forced to lower quo-tations almost daily in an attempt to attract customers. Up to late this week cheaper prices had failed to bring about any increased support and sentiment was weak in all quar-ters.

Locally the bulk of fancy Maine sold at $2 @ 2.10 per cwt. early in the week with a tendency late in the week for dealers to offer furth-er concessions in prices to stimulate trading. Only a few Long Islands were offered on the street with pric-es as to quality ranging from $1.75 to $2.45 per cwt. A limited supply of Prince Edwards were moving gen-erally at $2 for 90-pound bags.

DUPLICATE TOURNEY

The 5th meeting of the Wed. af-ternoon contract tourney was held at the Hotel Henry Perkins on Apr. 28, with 5 tables in play. The How-ell movement was used. The 4 high-est couples were:

The 6th meeting will be on May May 5th.

A May Day festival sponsored by* the Girl Scouts of Greater New York will mark the opening of the Gardens of the Nations in Rockefeller Cent-er on May 1. Arranged by a com-mittee of Girl Scout patronesses hea-» ded by Mrs. August Belmont 3d, the festival will open with a parade of flower-decked floats typical of many nations. ^ ^

The floats, decorated and en^Pbd, in competition by Girl Scouts, will pass in review before the gardens of Italy, France, Holland,* Japan, Spain and England, on the eleventh floor roof of the R. C. A. Building. ̂ ^ In each of these gardens Girl Scouts in authentic costumes of the coun-tries will serve as hostesses during the festival.

These gardens cover more than three-quarters of an acre of building roof-top. The gardens will ibe open to the* public from 10 a. m. to 5 p. "m. until November 1.
