Everett,  Fa. 
Wheat  $1.50  per  bu.;  oats  50c;  corn 
$1.25  for  old  shelled ;  new  corn  $1.50  per 
barrel  of  three  bushels  of  ears.  Hay  $10 
to  $18  per  ton.  There  is  hardly  enough 
beef  cattle  raised  in  this  district  to  es¬ 
tablish  a  standard  price.  Fork  $14  per 
100  lbs.,  dressed;  chickens  20  to  22c  per 
lb.,  live.  There  were  no  apples  here  this 
season.  The  apple  crop  in  this  section  is 
very  much  neglected,  but  little  spraying 
done,  and  the  trees  badly  affected  with 
San  Jose  scale.  We  are  located  in  the 
famous  Connellsville  coke  district,  and 
the  coke  business  is  being  worked  to  the 
utmost  limit.  Farm  hauds_  a  reaver  y 
scarce,  as  such  command  $2.75  to  $3  per 
day  for  common  labor  around  the  coke 
plauts  and  on  the  roads.  Diggers  and 
drawers  are  getting  much  more  at  the 
works.  General  prosperity  is  unlimited.

Seeding;  is  about  over  in  this  locality, 
with  the  exception  of  plots  of  corn  that, 
were  planted  early  for  seeding.  We  had 
three  heavy  frosts  Oct.  12-13.  The  lirst. 
two  were  so  heavy  that  ice  was  frozen 
about  one-quarter  inch  thick;  killed  all 
the  standing  corn,  although  about  half 
was  cut  already.  Whether  or  not  there 
is  any  danger  to  be  expected  from  the 
Hessian  fly  is  more  than  we  can  tell,  but 
we  see  them  flying  around,  and  as  it 
seems,  looking  for  a  place  to  make  trou¬ 
ble.  It  is  reported  in  some  localities 
that  the  moth  was  after  wheat  and  doing 
a  lot  of  damage.  One  has  to  be  careful 
in  storing  potatoes  this  year,  as  well  as 
last,  for  the  few  that  we  have  we  find 
rotten  ones  among  them.  it.  F.  H.
