THE! RUR.A-I> NEW-YORKER 
September 7. 
The fruit along the Lake Shore and in 
our immediate locality is, owing to the hard 
Winter a poor crop of almost all kinds. 
Peaches none, very few plums, a few pears. 
Apples will probably average here about 
one-third of a crop. I have heard of no 
prices being made for Winter fruit. 
No. Ohio. J. h. d. 
Reports from the Chautauqua, N, Y., 
grape district indicate about 60 per cent 
of last year's crop. “Where vines fruited 
heavily last year, through low, rich spots or 
where the leaf hopper was in abundance, 
the wood did not properly ripen, thus mak¬ 
ing it more susceptible to frost injury. 
Even on the best of vineyards the set 
is much lighter than last year, an aver¬ 
age of two clusters to the shoot, instead 
of three, as was the rule last season. The 
same conditions also prevail in Michigan, 
Chautauqua's greatest competitor, with an 
estimate of 50 per cent of last year's crop. 
A good price for good, well-packed fruit 
will be paid this Fall. Concords will be 
ready for market about the usual time, 
September 25, while Wordens and other 
early varieties will be ripe about two weeks 
sooner.” 
We have had a very wet Summer here. 
Since July 1 it has rained on an average 
every other day. Of course there were 
some days when it rained every day, and 
then it would be dry for two or three days. 
All farm work was badly delayed, and hay 
and grain damaged some. Not all oats se¬ 
cured at this date. Wheat was badly 
winter-killed and a light crop on the aver¬ 
age : some fields not worth cutting. Oats 
good, rye average. Hay was good where 
there was a stand, but last year’s drought 
killed a good deal of the new seeding. Corn 
is looking fine on the sand, not so good on 
the clay. Beans have made a fine growth 
of vines and seem to be podding fairly 
well. This is a great dairy county and a 
Holstein center. But little butter is made, 
most of the farmers selling to the local 
condenser.v or selling cream which is shipped 
away, as there is no local creamery. A few 
years ago most everyone sold to the eon- 
densery, but the last few years there has 
been a great deal of dissatisfaction with 
the way the Michigan Condensed Milk Co. 
lias used their patrons, and a great many 
have bought separators and gone to selling 
cream. Butter 28 cents on account of local 
scarcity; eggs 19 cents. Milk $1.30 per 
100. Potatoes 75 cents; wheat 98 cents, 
rye 65 cents. h. m. w.

Canadian Crops. 
Spring and Winter wheat, after deduct¬ 
ing 316.900 acfes killed, covers 10.047,300 
acres. The acreage of barley is 9.494,600 ; 
oats, 1,449.200; hay, 7,633,600; rye, 148,- 
700; Alfalfa. 111,300, which is a gain of 
3,667 over 1911; buckwheat, 387,000; flax. 
1,711,100; corn, 870,590; potatoes, 459,- 
400; turnips, 214,600. There has been a 
heavy drop in the Canadian apple crop, 
the outlook at present being 67 per cent 
of normal. 
At the Dry Farming Congress, Leth¬ 
bridge, Alberta, Canada, October 16-26, 
there will be shown the grains, grasses, 
clovers, Alfalfas, fruits, vegetables, etc., 
grown in dry farming territory. Liberal 
prizes are offered. For the best bushel of 
Wheat, a traction engine, value $2,500, 
will be given ; for the best sheaf of wheat, 
a sheaf loader, value $500 ; for best bushel 
oats, engine plow, value $500. Other 
prizes liberal in proportion. For informa¬ 
tion, write John T. Burns, Secretary, Leth¬ 
bridge, Alberta. 
The last corn crop of Uruguay was only 
3,639.371 bushels, but little more than 
one-half the previous year. The Argen¬ 
tine crop was a still greater failure, 27,- 
675,000, less than one-sixth of the previous 
year. 
Crops on the Continent. 
The German outlook is favorable, the 
least promising being oats, which are, how¬ 
ever, better than last year. Potatoes prom¬ 
ise a good vield. Acreages are: Wheat, 
4,758,000; rye, 15.488,000; barley, 3,- 
928,000; oats. 10.839.000; potatoes, 8,- 
257,000 ; Alfalfa, 608,000. 
In Hungary wheat and rye will be very 
heavy; oats and barley, rather light. Acre¬ 
ages are : Wheat, 8,650.787 ; rye, 2,775,674 ; 
barley, 2,645,816; oats, 2,496,91S. 
The Russian Winter wheat outlook is 
good; Spring sowings fair. The general 
prospect is for a larger grain yield than 
last year. Russia has more than 1,- 
250,000 acres in cotton, largely in Central 
Asia, in the latitude of Kentucky and 
Ohio. It is said that with proper irriga¬ 
tion the area couTd be greatly increased. 
The wheat acreage in France is larger 
than last year, but the crop is only fair. 
Oats and rye promise well. 
All grains in Spain appear to be less 
than last year, when the crop was large. 
Italy will have less wheat and corn 
than last year. Acreages are: Wheat, 11,- 
737,250; rye, 301,462; barley, 605,395; 
oats, 1,235,500; corn, 4,065,783. 
The International Institute of Agricul¬ 
ture states that in Russia, estimates of 
production in 73 governments are as fol. 
lows, expressed in bushels: Wheat, 749,- 
947,000; rye, 984,728,000; barley, 458,- 
183,000; oats, 1,032,605,000; corn, 61,- 
908,000. 
Crops in the United States and Great Britain. 
Secretary Wilson, of the Department of 
Agriculture, says: “In the United States, 
notwithstanding a hard Winter, which 
killed out about 20 per cent of the Winter 
wheat area, and a late and unfavorable 
Spring, which hampered the early plant¬ 
ing and cultivation of crops, the past few 
months have been so favorable as to over¬ 
come the early handicap. Prospects jjre 
that supplies will be normal, or better 
than the average of recent years. Oats 
and barley will exceed any previous year’s 
yield, and wheat, which early in the sea¬ 
son indicated a yield of only about 625,- 
000,000, promises 680,000,000 bushels or 
more, which has only been exceeded four 
times and may be regarded as a very fair 
crop. The corn crop is not yet out of 
danger, but expectations are that more 
than 2,800,000.000 bushels will be raised, 
which is close to a record. The hay crop 
is abundant. Crop conditions in Great 
Britain are unsatisfactory, owing to the 
wet weather over the greater part of Eng¬ 
land and Wales. August 1 the prospect 
for wheat was about two per cent below 
average; barley promised to be the best of 
all cereals; oats, very poor, estimated to 
be nearly 10 per cent short of an average. 
The excessive wet weather has been detri¬ 
mental to potatoes and disease is preva¬ 
lent; sunshine alone will save the crop 
from further injury. The wet weather 
has proved beneficial to the root crops, tur¬ 
nips, swedes and mangold, and yields were 
expected above the average. The hay har¬ 
vest has been much interfered with by the 
weather. Some early crops of rotation hay 
had been well secured? but the bulk of this 
crop and also the meadow hay have been 
damaged by rains. The hop crop has suf¬ 
fered more than usual from vermin. Spray¬ 
ing had, however, proved quite successful 
and the vines were healthy and fairly 
clean. Orchards are generally looking 
healthy. Apples are a small crop in west 
England and about average in Kent.”

The Farmer needs comfort 
more than the city man 
Because of the very nature of its work 
and the roads it travels, the farmer’s 
car should be more comfortable than 
the city man’s. 
The farmer’s driving' is not over 
pavements and boulevards, but over the 
country roads, in whatever condition 
he finds them. 
His car should be powerful, too; and 
sturdy and strong. 
The Jackson is all these; as you 
have always known. 
And for 1913 it is more comfortable 
—more roomy—easier riding—than it 
has ever been before. 
The wheelbase is longer; the wheels 
and tires are larger. 
The upholstery is 10 inches thick 
—deep, soft and luxurious. 
Road shocks are almost entirely elimina¬ 
ted through the four full elliptic springs. 
On a motor-driven vehicle full 
elliptic springs are just as efficient as 
on a carriage—and you know that 
they are the best spring equipment for 
a carriage. 
Mechanically the new Jacksons 
are fully up to the high standard set 
by the upholstery, finish and roominess 
of the bodies. 
They have sufficient power for the 
worst road conditions, and they are 
both smooth and silent. 
Write for the advance literature on 
the 1913 Jackson and the name of 
the nearest dealer. 
We want you to try the car for 
yourself and see what real automobile 
comfort is.

((IMPLICATED machinery, heavy and costly engine and expensive 
operation are done away with in this motor press. 
It is the most profitable to operate of any motor press because of 
the combination of features that save labor, time and power and increase 
baling capacity. 
Greatly simplified construction has made possible the use of a smaller 
engine, and at the same time increased capacity of press. 
Eccentrically mounted gears furnish increased 
leverage so smaller engine can be used. 
They give plunger a slow stroke on com¬ 
pression, and quick return stroke, 
requiring less power, and maintaining 
large capacity. Maximum power is fur¬ 
nished where needed, by a steady run¬ 
ning engine, without the heavy high 
speeded,dangerous fly wheel to pull. 
An exceptionally large feed-opening, together with self-feed and 
eccentric gears make the Dain Perfection a press of large baling capacity. 
Automatic tucker folds over charge, making smooth square-ended bales. 
Neat bales always bring top price. 
The Perfection frame is not jointed and is all steel, mounted on all steel 
truck. This guarantees it to be substantial and durable. 
A quiet, light running baler of large capacity, profitable 
to operate, and easy to transport, backed up by a quarter 
century’s success in building better 
hay machinery, is what you get in 
the Dain Perfection Motor Press.
