It Is reported that large quantities of Canadian 
wool—Including much of last year's as well as this 
year’s clip, are awaiting shipment Into this country 
under the expected new tarllT, one firm at Hamilton, 
alone, having 1,000,003 pounds. 
Atchison County, Mo.— This has been the driest 
season we have had since I have been in Missouri 
(26 years). Corn Is verr light; so are potatoes. Oats 
yielded from 25 to 35 bushels per acre, wheat from 15 
to 30. Pastures are as bare as In December. Corn 
Is worth 50 cents per bushel, potatoes 75, oats 30 
cents, and wheat 40. K A. J. 
The cranberry market Is affected largely by apples, 
and when the latter are plenty and cheap they take 
the place to a certain extent of cranberries The 
light apple crop last season had Its Itfluence toward 
widening the outlet lor cranberries, but the crop was 
so large that prices ranged very low until toward the 
end of the season. While the apple crop this year Is 
light. It Is much heavier than last season. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW 1 
If you don’t see what you want, ask for it. 
LICI ON ONIONS.—All of the onions raised In this 
locality have been destroyed by lice. Wbat is a 
remedy? z o. D. 
Ohio. 
Ans.—W e fear there Is no remedy lor a crop already 
destroyed. Plant lice are difficult things to fight, 
anyway. They are usually not numerous enough to 
do much damage, as numerous parasites tend to keep 
them In check. Kerosene emulsion and tobacco 
water, sprayed upon the affected plants, are the 
remedies most frequently recommended for aphis. 
DKAI.KR 8 IN GINSBNG BOOT.-What firm In New 
York deals In ginseng root? . 1 . B. 
Ontario. Canada. 
ANS.—Write to Hirsh & Dowensteln. 176 Chambers 
8 t. State how much root you have, the quality, con¬ 
dition, etc. 
Painting the Sii.o.-W ill it do any harm to paint 
the Inside of the silo with roofing tar or coal tar ? 
New Hampshire. O l) 8 . 
Ans —Bead Points About Silo Filling, on page 635, 
A Symposium on Silos on page 519 of Issue of August 
18, and other notes from experienced men frem week 
to week. We think that the majority favor painting 
the Inside, though many do not. The kind of board¬ 
ing may make some difference. 
Bags fob Potatoes.-!. Who make bags for 
shipping potatoes? 2. Is there a firm In New Tork 
that handles Hubbard squashes by the ton? w. b. 
Ans.— 1. Write to F. DeB. Pell & Co., 121 Warren 
St., New York, and refer to The B. N.-Y. 3. Theie 
are several hundred such firms, a few of whom have 
enterprise enough to advertise In The B. N.-Y. 
Write to some of the latter In relation to the 
squashes. 
Locating a Truck Farm.—W hat is the best 
location for a truck farm? How would one near 
Buffalo, N. Y., or Boston, Mass., do? j l. C. 
ANS.—The best location Is the one In which the de¬ 
sired products thrive best, and near which there are 
good markets. Near manufacturing towns are gen¬ 
erally excellent locations for market gardening and 
small fruit growing. In New England are hundreds 
of such places where a live man can do a good busi¬ 
ness. The places named are good. Near Boston a 
great deal of gardening under glass Is done. But 
near these larger cities, competition Is keener than 
near the smaller towns.
