We raise wheat, corn, potatoes, oats, 
beans, peas, beets, etc., or all kinds of 
gardening produce. Cattle raising is 
scarce; there is no cattle raising or dairy 
business here; vegetable production is very 
low, as the prices are not very much. 
Prices of apples are very low ; they range 
from 25, 30 and 40 cents per bushel. Al¬ 
falfa is about the leading product of farm¬ 
ing here, prices range fair on it at all 
times. G. w. a. 
Miller City, Ill. 
This is a great potato section, hundreds 
of acres being devoted to the crop. Most 
of the farmers dig by hand ; now and then 
a horse drawn digger is used. Potatoes are 
now selling at 50 cents per bushel, but 
many producers are holding back, think¬ 
ing the price will advance. The crop this 
year was fine but rotted badly in some 
localities. Hay crop was fair generally. 
Owing to the hilly nature of the country 
few hay loaders _ are used. Milch cows 
are selling around $50 and in good de¬ 
mand. J. c. w.

Wakefield is not far from the Maryland 
line, in the southern end of Lancaster Co. 
We do not get the prices for our land that 
they realize nearer Lancaster where land 
brings from $250 to $350 per acre. Good 
improved farms can often he bought in our 
section for from $50 to $70 per acre. We 
are four miles from the Susquehanna 
“Peach Bottom,” where the river is 1% 
miles wide. Good cows bring from $60 to 
$70; eggs 35 cents; butter, 37; steers for 
feeding 5% to 6% cents; stock bulls, 
5% to 6. live chickens, 12 cents. Apples 
are scarce; fruit was a failure with us 
last season. N. H. 
Wakefield, Pa. 
I sold my apples in orchard. I picked 
half of them at 50 cents per bushel, de¬ 
livered in town at 80 cents. They were 
mixed, cold storage; Ben Davis. Rome 
Beauty, Grimes, Baldwin, King and other 
apples of equal value, 80 cents, selling out 
of stores at Christmas time at 90 cents per 
peck. Potatoes, 60 cents per 60 pounds; 
cattle, four cents, ready for the block; 
hogs, seven cents. I sold $25 worth of 
meat and lard, ham, shoulders and side 
for 15 cents per pound; this price is a 
little high for fresh meat. Cholera has 
been raging around here. Poultry eight 
cents per pound. c. f. 
Haydenville, O. 
The corn crop of 1912 is the best ever 
raised except in the lowlands along the 
Missouri River, where they have less corn 
than last year. Wheat was a scant crop; 
some has not been cut. The prospect for 
next year's wheat crop is not very good, 
it being too dry for the young plants : have 
had no rain since sowing time with the 
exception of a few sprinkles. Wheat sells 
for $1 per bushel; corn 45; flour, $2.90 
per sack of 98 pounds; potatoes, 60 cents 
per bushel; eggs, per dozen, 21 cents; but¬ 
ter, 25 cents per pound. Old hens, nine 
cents per pound. Horses sell high, from 
$75 up to $200, according to age and con¬ 
dition. Cows from $35 up to $65. Hogs 
sell at 7% cents a pound for the choice 
kind, hog cholera having swept a large 
portion away. Sheep are not raised in 
this section, excepting a few small herds. 
Beef cattle, prime, having sold as high as 
$10.50 per 100 in the St. Louis market a 
short time ago. e. h.

December has been an ideal month, 
Christmas warm as last year. We have 
had a few days of sleighing, but the roads 
have been in good condition most of the 
time. The farmers have done Fall plowing. 
It has been a good time for corn shredding, 
and a large amount has been done. It is 
nearly all done now. After the holidays 
will come butchering. The fruit growers’ 
meetings that have been held hereabouts, 
have been very well attended. The poul¬ 
try show held recently at Geneva was a 
success. Real estate is on the boom; a 
western syndicate is purchasing farms, put¬ 
ting on a few outside attractions and then 
selling them at a big advance to western 
parties. Farms are selling from $115 and 
upward per acre. They claim land is 
cheaper here than in the West. Wheat, 
$1; barley, 60 cents; oats, 40; corn, 75; 
hay, $15 a ton; clover, $10; pork, alive, 
GVn cents; veal, 9%; chickens, 12; fowls, 
10; butter, 30; eggs, 30; potatoes, 60; 
apples, $1.75 a bushel; lambs, six cents. 
Canandaigua, N. Y. e. t. b. 
The season’s farm work is about over 
so far as crops go. Everything is mar¬ 
keted except the hay. and running poultry 
products. Everything was a good crop ex¬ 
cept the peaches. They were only a trifle 
over a quarter crop, the retail price being 
good for these; the net returns were a 
little higher per basket. We sprayed for 
curculio, and Codling moth on the apples, 
and it paid well, both in quantity and 
quality. I have sold most of my apples at 
retail for 75 cents in competition with 
others selling at 50 and 60 cents. The 
stores sell at 60 to 75 cents. Now I am 
out and they want more. So much for the 
quality on the consumer’s end of spraying. 
Nearly every one is complaining about 
apples not keeping. Two of us have eaten 
and used all the specked fruit In 28 bar¬ 
rels. Another profit from spraying not gen¬ 
erally spoken about. The dry weather 
after first cutting hurt Alfalfa here. Those 
who cut over second crop early had a third 
crop, which latter was hard to get cured 
this Fall. One dairyman used the third 
cutting green as fodder. Many more are 
sowing small fields to try. w. o.

J. H. HALE 
My Master-Stroke for Fruit Growers 
The J.H.HALE Peach 
I have secured for orcharaists’ commercial planting - 
the exclusive distribution^rights of J. H. Hale’s greatest “ 
triumph, the wonderful “J. H. HALE” Peach—the most 
amazing peach ever propagated in America. 
William P. Stark. 
WM. P. STARK 
The King of All Peaches 
Eight years ago.when Mr. Hale first showed 
me his r ‘J. H. HALE” Peach. I exclaimed, 
“You’ve got a peach that will absolutely 
revolutionize peach growing in America—if 
It’ll remain true to its characteristics in all 
peach regions.” For here was a peach as 
big as a small cannon-ball, twice the size of 
an average Elberta; deep golden yellow, over¬ 
laid with carmine; smooth, thick skinned, 
with no trace of fuzz; flesh solid, firm, yet 
delicate; and the most luscious peach flavor 
I have ever tasted. 
8 Years of Tests, 3,000 Trees Planted 
But not until Mr. Hale had planted 3,000 
trees—2.000 in Connecticut and 1,000 in Geor¬ 
gia—and fruited, experimented and tested 
them for 8 years, was he ready to offer this 
remarkable peach commercially. 
And in eight years it has grown better and 
better. It has been proved out in most widely 
divergent peach soils and climates. It has 
gone through 27 below zero weather when 
such hardy varieties as Georgia Belle, Car¬ 
man and others in the same orchard were 
winter-killed. The fruit has been shipped 
thousands of miles successfully. Commis¬ 
sion men and our foremost scientists are 
enthusiastic over it. Experts everywhere 
proclaim it the greatest peach the world ha* 
ever known. 
Will You Share in the Profit*? 
Remember what money-makers the first 
Elbertas were? Yet here is a peach larger, 
sweeter, hardier, more profitable— the only 
peach that J. H. Hale,“The Peach King.”has 
ever deemed worthy of bearing his name. 
I can supply a limited number of growers 
now with trees propagated from buds cut 
from J. H. Hale’s bearing orchards. Be first
