I have given. w. a. c. 
Almont, Mich. 
Our produce generally has brought fair 
prices for the last five or six years. Pota¬ 
toes and berries are our largest crops; po¬ 
tatoes about $1.25 to $3 per barrel, mostly 
sold at station to brokers. Berries in 
northern markets from four to 16 cents 
per quart. Bulk of them sell in New York 
and Boston around eight and nine cents 
per quart. Brokers here are paying about 
$1.25 to $2.75 per crate, their prices gov¬ 
erned by markets North and West. Toma¬ 
toes, half bushel crate 60 to $2.50, all sent 
to New York by growers. Beans and peas 
prove to be a very poor crop with us as 
the market is low before ours commence to 
go in. Poultry and eggs have done well; 
poultry selling around 18 to 25 cents per 
pound. Eggs 18 to 50 per dozen. We 
have a small cattle output. About a car¬ 
load of calves from this county each week 
that sell in Philadelphia market 7 to 12 
rents per pound. Very few grown cattle 
s hipped, as home markets consume all sal¬ 
able for beef; prices about nine cents per 
pound dressed at Crisfield and Salisbury. 
Kingston, Md. w. r. d. 
In this county the principal crops are 
corn, wheat, tomatoes and dairy, and a few 
peaches along the bay. Kieffer pears are 
being taken up by some, not being a paying 
crop the past two years. We get within 
three cents of the wholesale price in city 
delivered at station for wheat and corn. 
A good cow, springer -or with calf by side, 
will sell for from $60 to $80. We have 
creamery and shipping station at Kennedy- 
ville. Most of thtr milk goes to shipping 
station, they paying since November $1.60 
per 100 pounds, testing between 3.80 and 
4.20; for milk testing below 3.80 we are 
docked three cents a unit and paid three 
cents a unit over 3.80. The creamery has 
been paying 35 cents for butter fat. The 
milk from shipping station is sent to Phila¬ 
delphia. There have been only a few farm¬ 
ers contracted for tomatoes. The Granges 
and farmers representing about 3,000 acres 
of tomatoes have been holding meetings to 
demand $10 per ton, but have not got to¬ 
gether as yet. There will be more potatoes 
planted this year, as the farmers are com¬ 
ing to realize there is very little money in 
wheat. E. r. w. 
Kennedyville, Md. 
We have now and have had all Winter 
a great many farm sales; stock in good 
shape; plenty of feed; very few last Fall 
pigs, as the cholera took a great many. 
This part of the country is full of good 
corn; wheat 98; corn 42; oats 28; rye 
60. Timothy hay $10 to $12 per ton, no 
clover hay for sale; oat straw $6 to $8 per 
ton. Potatoes 50; apples $3 to $4 a bar¬ 
rel. Common milch cows $40 to $60, Jer¬ 
sey milch cows $65 to $100; no Holstein 
cows in this part of the State. Veal calves 
$10 per 100 pounds; live chickens 12 cents 
a pound; eggs 16;' butter fat 35. Horses 
and mules $150 to $200. Feeding western 
lambs is quite a business in this part of 
the county (Hendricks), and they bring 
$8.50 to $8.75 at Chicago ; fat hogs $8.50 
here and $9 at Indianapolis. All our farm¬ 
ers who sell cream always have some money 
in their pockets and the dairy business 
is enriching the land wonderfully. Some 
of our farmers are using ground limestone 
and ground phosphate rock with splendid 
results; land sells for $125 to $175 per 
acre. g. j. 
Pittsboro, Ind. 
Potatoes at retail stores are 1 cent per 
pound; apples (Baldwins) first grade, 75 
to $1 per box; second grade, 50, retailing 
at 2 cents per pound; cabbage, 1 cent per 
pound; sqush, 1 cent per pound; country 
butter dropped from 40 to 30 cents per 
pound In May and June the price will 
go to bedrock. Milk retails at 5 cents per 
quart delivered. Eggs have kept dropping 
and are now at 14 cents and will go lower. 
It is predicted that the price will go much 
below last year. The damage done Cali¬ 
fornia citrus fruits by the February freeze 
has advanced the price of lemons to five cents 
each, or eight for 25 cents. Oat hay, $15 
per ton. Jersey cows, $50 to $75 per head. 
Jerseys are fast replacing other breeds for 
dairying. Durhams (both red and white) 
are the pricipal breed for range cattle. 
Nc*: many horses raised here, and but few 
mules in the country. Since near election 
times business has been dull, work scarce. 
Mills are now beginning to start up work

Fall-sown grain doing well. Early gardens 
all in now. I.. E. w.

has been mild and Spring-like for several 
days; it is now turning cold and snowing. 
The ground hog doesn’t seem to be satis¬ 
fied yet. Dirt roads are in bad shape.

No-Rim-Cut Tires 
10% Oversize 
Our Average Profit 
$2.90 Per Tire 
Goodyear tires sell all the way from $15.55 to $104.95, accord¬ 
ing to size and type. 
The most popular type—34x4—costs from $32.95 to $37.90, 
differing with type and treads. 
And our average profit last year on all these tires was exactly 
$2.90 per tire. 
Why We Tell You 
This is something unusual—this 
stating of profit. 
But the worth of a tire depends, 
in large part, to what the maker 
puts into it. 
Tires may be made at half our 
cost, yet the cost per mile is 
greater. 
Tires may be skimped to in¬ 
crease factory profit, but the 
skimping shows up in your tire 
bills. 
Your object and ours is the low¬ 
est cost per mile. And the best 
way to show you that you get it 
in Goodyears is to tell you our 
profit, perhaps. 
Low Making Cost 
We are by long odds 
largest tire builders, 
this year will doubtless 
000,000. Yet our capi¬ 
tal is only $10,000,000, 
and we have no bond¬ 
ed debt. 
That is why a small 
profit per tire pays us 
fair returns. 
Our mammoth out¬ 
put and modern meth¬ 
ods bring making cost 
down to the mini¬ 
mum. Thus most of 
our cost goes into 
materials—into things 
that count. 
the world’s 
Our sales 
reach $40,- 
Judge for yourself if any tire in 
the world can offer you greater 
value. 
Note the Result 
That’s how we give you the 
uttermost mileage for as little as 
lesser tires cost. 
That’s how, at our price, you 
get tires that can’t rim cut—tires 
10 per cent over the rated size. , 
These two features alone, on le¬ 
gions of cars, have cut tire bills 
right in two. 
And that is how Goodyears have 
come to outsell every other tire in 
existence. 
2,000,000 Sold 
Men have put into use, on hun¬ 
dreds of thousands of tires, two 
million Goodyear tires. 
Legions of these cars have odom-^ 
eters. t Tire mileage has been 
closely watched. On countless 
cars, rival tires have been com¬ 
pared with ours. 
Two million Goodyears have 
been tested in these ways—in ways 
that can’t mislead. 
And this is the result: 
Goodyear tires rule Tiredom. 
No other tire compares with them 
in sales. 
h As men know them better sales 
double over and over. Last year’s 
sale exceeded our previous 12 
years put together.
