According to a United Stales Govern- 

 ment report New York atate alone lost 

 many millions, through low prices, on its 

 peach crop of last season. Had our markets 

 been open to the New York Stale growers 

 then our Niagara District growers would 

 have known what low prices meant. 



Alleghany Coimly larmers, N.Y., lost 

 $800,000 this year owing to the almost total 

 £aiiure o£ the potato crop. Farmers wlio 

 /aised as much as 5,000 bushels last year, 

 had to purchase for their own use this. 

 Most of them neglected to spray their po- 

 tato vines this year, with the result that 

 the crop was destroyed by blight.
