Washington County, Maine, produced 
51,000,000 worth of huckleberries this year. 
Corn under irrigation in Southern Texas 
is averaging 60 bushels per acre this year. 
Illinois mined 50,165,099 tons of coal 
during the past year, 2,000,000 tons more 
than the previous year. 
Japanese cotton buyers are working 
actively in Texas this year. The sales to 
Japan are expected to be about 100,000 
bales. 
In northwestern Pennsylvania the chest¬ 
nut crop is heavy. On September 23, 100 
bushels were brought into the Warren mar¬ 
ket, part of them selling at $5 per bushel. 
Oregon’s live stock industry brings the 
producer $91,689,400 annually. The State 
has 175,000 dairy cows, 2,401,000 sheep, 
324.000 hogs, 295,000 horses and 220,000 
goats. 
1 received $1.50 a barrel for Nodhead 
(Jewett Red). That is all I have sold thus 
far. There have been no buyers in town 
looking for Winter fruit as yet. Those of 
the farmers here who can say that they 
will hold their fruit if they are not offered 
a fair price, that is, somewhere near $2 
per barrel. e h s 
Hollis, N. II. ' ' 
HAY CROP. 
The crop of both hay and straw with us 
we believe to he less than 50 per cent of 
last year, and we look for high prices 
throughout the season. de\n&co 
Bath, N. Y. 
Ilay is scarce throughout the East and 
Middle States. Locally we are in the 
“corn belt” and a great deal less hay is 
raised here than consumed. Practically no 
Alfalfa is grown in this section. 
Dwight, Ill. j. A. SPENCER. 
Present indications point to a small hay 
crop this year. The corn crop is a large 
one. Of course, the extreme drought has 
caused the failure of hay crops. 
WHITMAN AGRICULTURAL CO. 
St. Louis, Mo. 
The hay crop is extremely short. We 
base our conclusions not only from statis¬ 
tical reports, but from the lack of interest 
in the hay baler end of our business this 
year. The State of Michigan seems to be 
the most favorable outlet for hay presses 
that we have been able to discover this 
season and we believe that in some localities 
they have had at least a fair average crop. 
Bellevue, O. e. a. king. 
c doubt whether the price for hay stays 
up. It has broken with us in the last week 
finite materially, due to the fact that in 
our section there is a large corn crop. The 
farmers have been able to save all their 
fodder and are now ready to sell practi¬ 
cally all of their hay. A large per cent 
has been baled and marketed, but with the 
•saving of the fodder there will be much 
more hay for the market. There is no 
Alfalfa sold from this section, the farmers 
are just getting started with it. 
Marion, O. ohio tractor jiFg. co. 
New hay started here this year at $5 to 
$6 higher than last year. The hay crop is 
probably 25 per cent, to 30 per cent, short. 
The Ohio Valley has the shortest crop of 
any section. Wo were informed earlier in 
the season that we would have no clover, 
but find - that the extreme prices have 
brought forward much more clover than 
anticipated. We think there will be an 
increase in the call for Alfalfa. The crop 
has been good, and they still have in this 
section a crop to harvest if they can get 
sufficient dry weather to cure it. 
Cincinnati, O. whitcomb a root. 
The quality of the 1911 hay crop we 
think as a rule is better than last year’s. 
There is very much less clover and clover 
mixed hay. The shortage of this year’s 
crop is very marked, say in Pennsylvania, 
New Jersey. Delaware and Marvland, which 
covers most of the Eastern States from 
which we get hay. It is also short in Ohio 
and Indiana, although it is a little more 
favorable in the last named State perhaps. 
Michigan and New York States we should 
say have a three-quarter crop, while parts 
of Canada have a large crop. In regard 
to the shortage of other grasses ' making a 
better demand for Alfalfa, it may have 
some effect, but Alfalfa is not generally 
used in this market. e. l. Rogers & co. 
Philadelphia, Pa. 
Rye straw in my opinion will be higher. 
The dry weather hurt rye and hay more 
than any other two products. We are sell¬ 
ing to-day at $17, but by the time snow 
flies I would not be surprised to see it sell 
at $20. Regarding hay. we here in Boston 
are not counting much on New York State. 
They are wild on prices there, paying the 
farmers as high as $18. which means al¬ 
most $24 here: no profits to anyone. We 
shall look to Maine, Vermont and Canada. 
I am convinced there is more hay, taking 
the country all through, than most people 
believe. When the potatoes are all har¬ 
vested, and the farm work cleaned up, we 
shall see no famine of hay. Last April we 
were told that old hay was all cleaned out, 
yet 4000 cars of hay came to Boston in 
June and July. I take but little stock in 
what country correspondents tell about 
crops. I believe we are to see good prices 
all through the season, but I do not take 
any stock in $30 hay. I made a tour of 
New York State three weeks ago and be¬ 
lieve there is a 75 per cent. crop. Maine 
is about the same, and Canada immense. 
There are thousands of cars of hay in Can¬ 
ada bought by parties this side the line, 
and it will begin to come now that the 
reciprocity matter is settled. 
Boston, Mass. cyrus ii. bates. 
We look for continuously rising prices for 
hay and straw until the next growing crop. 
Through. New York State, Ohio, Michigan 
and Indiana we look for limited shipments 
to Eastern markets, as the South and West 
will be sharp bidders for the surplus in 
these States. Most all of the hay that is 
available is for New York City and New 
England. During the last season our mar¬ 
kets have been blocked with low grade 
Quebec hay nearly all the time. This will 
be all changed this year on account of the 
very high average grades and the fact that 
European markets are fast cleaning up all 
of the low grade hay available in Quebec 
at extreme prices. Clover or heavy clover 
mixed for cattle is very scarce. While 
there is considerable Alfalfa coming to this 
market from sections of New York State, 
it will fall far short of supplying the de¬ 
mand. There is a limited amount of New 
Mexican Alfalfa coming to our markets via 
steamer, which is being sold at most rea¬ 
sonable prices, considering the conditions, 
namely, $23 to .$25 per ton for extra fine 
quality. The straw crop is very light and 
it is already becoming difficult to obtain 
oat or wheat straw at prices from $1 to $2 
higher than last year. Long bundle rye 
straw, which is mostly used by horse own¬ 
ers in our Eastern States for bedding, is 
also a limited crop, with prices from $3 to 
$5 per ton higher than last season. 
New York. _ the Amer ican hat CO. 
POTATO CROP. 
Maine expects to market 25,000,000 bush¬ 
els of potatoes this year. 
Our consuls at Hull and Birmingham 
state that the crop is considerably below 
normal. In England the actual decrease in 
area is 35.777 acres. In early September 
the price at Smithfiekl market, London, was 
two cents per pound. 
Potato receipts in New York are heavy, 
and the market very weak, large quantities 
having sold at a trifle above one cent per 
pound. A shipment of 500 bags from Liv¬ 
erpool was forwarded to Havana, as they 
could not. be sold profitably in New York 
at present. 
Country looks very fine, green, good feed 
this side of valley. Hay crop, one-half to 
two-thirds': oats fine. Oats and peas heavy. 
Potatoes pretty near a failure. Cows high, 
$60 to $100, all Holsteins; many purebred 
of the best families. Everybody raises 
milk and cabbage; good apple crop; cab¬ 
bage only fair and not as many acres as in 
1910. F. w. B. 
1 Chenango Co.. N. Y. 
The outlook here for potatoes is very 
good. We have about 80 per cent of a full 
crop in Minnesota. Wisconsin, North Da¬ 
kota, Michigan, parts of South Dakota and 
Nebraska, but we have to consider the de¬ 
mand for them. We have a big demand 
for all over the country and we expect to 
see prices firm right through the season. 
The present market rules from 50 to 60 
cents per bushel sacked, loading, station. 
St. Paul Minn. s. goldish. 
According to the information we have 
received, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota. 
Montana. Idaho, Washington and Utah all 
have good potato crops. Reports from Col¬ 
orado are rather conflicting. There seems 
to be more on the western slope of the 
Rockies, although the shippers in the 
Greeley sections claim they have less than 
last year. 
PEYCKH BROS. COMMISSION COMPANY. 
Kansas City, Mo. 
The potato yield is Irregular. Some 
States show less and some more than last 
year, from Michigan to the Pacific Coast. 
The crop will show an increased acreage 
and a much larger yield than last year. 
Colorado and Nebraska will have from one- 
third to one-half crop, which is cut short 
by the blight; Wisconsin, which had an 
enormous crop last year, will have a much 
larger crop this year. Idaho. Oregon and 
Utah also have a larger crop than last 
year. We look for about the same price to 
rule as last year. ward bros.

Ganadian Fruit Report. 
Latest advices indicate that the crop of 
apples for the entire Dominion will not 
come up to early expectations. Drought 
damage has been worst in Ontario. Quebec 
and Nova Scotia have suffered less. In 
some cases the Nova Scotia crop is running 
80 per cent. No. 1. In far Western Canada, 
the Kootenay and Okanagan country, the 
crop will be of medium size, but excellent 
quality, mainly dessert varieties. 
THE OAT CROP. 
Oats are grown in practically every 
State, though of less importance commer¬ 
cially than either wheat or corn. The 
area sown to oats is normally a limit one- 
third that of corn. This season's drought 
cut the crop, so that it is at last one-fifth 
less than the 1910 yield. The States most 
affected were Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, 
Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri. In some 
of the cooler States rains came in time to 
help the crop when filling. The area in 
oats this year was about 35,200,000 acres, 
and the yield 841,280,000 bushels. 
COLD STORAGE LEGISLATION. 
I believe butter has been stored at too 
high prices. My idea is that with the 
change in weather conditions in producing 
sections we shall have a large percentage of 
fine butter among the current receipts. Eggs 
also were put away too high. The coun¬ 
try is full of pullets and laying hens, and 
the outlook is for large fresh receipts. The 
cold storage laws of New York and New 
Jersey have not affected us in Massachu¬ 
setts. GEO. A. COCHRANE. 
Boston. 
Butter shows a decided shortage com¬ 
pared with last season. Cold storage is a 
matter of business, not speculation. When 
receipts are large storage must be used to 
regulate prices, otherwise eggs might run 
from five cents per dozen during times of 
plenty to $1 when scarce. Some people 
think a storage egg Is not fit to eat, but 
good eggs stored in April and May, the 
time when the largest amount are put 
away, taken out from October to January, 
are better than the eggs produced at that 
time. abrohams fur & wool co.
