THE RURAL. NEW-YORKER 
CROPS 
June 17. Wheat crop is good, will be 
ready to cut in a week ; oats very poor; 
corn, a good stand but small; clover, good 
crop, but other meadows short. 
Brown Co., O. r. f. s. 
Cattle, live, 7 to 8; hogs, 7 to 8%; 
butter, 25; eggs, 20; potatoes. 50 to 00; 
cheese, 17 to 20; strawberries, 15 cents a 
quart. c. E. o. 
Beach City, O. 
June 13. Corn is very uneven, some 
breaking being done at this late date, 
while others are cultivating second time. 
We had a splendid stand upon our own 
farm but cold weather has held the 
crop in general back very much. Mixed 
hay where fertilized looks promising; 
many, however, short. Apple and plum 
crop an entire failure. c. r. w. 
Hancock Co., O. 
June 23. Corn springing up rapidly, 
warm weather cause. A few farmers 
are beginning to make hay. Wheat and 
hay crop will be medium. Not much 
fruit, though the berry crop seems fairly 
abundant. Following are the prices re¬ 
ceived for produce: Butter, 20-21; eggs, 
IT; potatoes, 40; chickens, 14; wheat, 
96; corn, 60; oats, 35; wool, 20. 
Holmes Co., O. L. c. C. 
It is hot and dry here. Wheat about 
normal acreage and nearly ripe, but 
yield is lessened by the dry hot weather. 
Oats about same acreage as last year, but 
if the present drought continues the 
yield will be small. Clover hay is being 
out. and the yield is fair, but Timothy 
is being injured by the drought. Corn 
is looking good and growing. It is well 
worked and clean and we keep stirring 
up the dust mulch and hoping for rain. 
Highland Co., O. w. E. D. 
June 20. Strawberries, short crop; 
apples, light; some peaches; good crop 
of pears and plums. Grapes setting 
about 75 per cent, of last year’s crop. 
Nice rains after three weeks of dry and 
windy weather. Wheat, rye and oats 
good, but hay short—about 50 per cent, 
of crop. Corn growing fine. Blackberries 
and raspberries, fair crop near Lake 
Erie; badly froze above the North Ridge 
and south. A lot of spraying being 
done. G. s. w T . 
Cuyahoga Co., O. 
Cattle are very scarce; stock cattle. 6; 
fat, 7 to 8; cows, $50 to $75; sheep 
low, $4.50: hogs, $ cents, few for sale. 
Small fruit and gardening, very little 
doing. Strawberries badly frosted, one- 
half crop or less, $2 per bushel, mostly 
in gardens. _ The dry weather of past 
two weeks is making short meadows. 
Hay, old, $12 per ton; wheat, $1.05; 
corn, 75; oats, 40 to 50. Butter, about 
20 in country ; cream at creamery, 2S to 
30 for butter fat; eggs, 16. k.'g. h. 
Belmont, O. 
Wheat will be good quality and stands 
up well but is a little thin. Most of it 
is seeded in the corn ground. Hay is 
ike heaviest and brightest we have had 
in years and is the principal crop here, 
as the market is handy. It is fed by the 
teamsters that work on the public works 
near Cincinnati. Potatoes look well but 
the best potato land was along the 
Miami River and is gone. Frost took 
pears, cherries, grapes and apples, except 
on the high ridges where the wind blew 
all night. Peaches good. i. a. p. 
Hamilton Co., O. 
In some favored locations the apple 
crop may reach 50 per cent., but as a 
whole I am sure we shall have no more 
than 10 per cent, of a normal crop. 
1 caches almost a total failure. Pastures 
have been tine up to the last two weeks. 
Since that time the dry weather has 
seriously damaged them. The hay crop 
has also been cut short. Corn has done 
■\vel , though the late planting has not 
made much growth. Fine rains the last 
two days will help hay. Wheat as a 
whole looks well, though it will not 
make what was anticipated. ax. L. r. 
Frankfort, O. 
18. Ci'ops of all kinds doing 
well since warm weather began. Corn 
gfaller than usual for time of year. 
'Veil cultivated and clean and prospect 
improving. Wheat heading out nicely*, 
'hits short on account dry weather, and 
m many places very weedy. Pastures 
excellent; meadows rather light: some 
beginning to cut clover. Alfalfa splendid. 
barns in fine shape. Yields 
or Altalta from 1% to two tons per acre, 
mst cutting. Fruit prospects very poor 
except late berries. Prices for farm pro- 
«uets at local markets about as follows: 
live%i 5 / 5 Per * bushel , : wheat, $1; hogs, 
gi wool. 18 cents ; horses, 
i\ t0 o 'o“ - not many changing hands;

Allen Co., O. 
June 16. I have 150 acres, about four 
'Cres of oats, about as good as last 
. ar Rye is from six to seven feet tall, 
nue large heads, which will be a good 
op this year. It will be the best wheat 
crop we had for eight or 10 
lS ", 1 be ground which is in rve was 
i im down very bad, so I let the' clover 
^‘t in blossom last year and then plowed 
i- ,n< -7 *°r the rye. I let the ground 
, untl1 seeding time, then disked it well 
Oo„if'' Vt ‘l, tho rye the first part of 
' H '.r with a disk drill. I have about 
t- t acres of corn, looking very good, 
have about o0 acres Alfalfa, 20 acres 
Timothy, 10 acres Red clover; truck 
about 10 acres, and have 45 acres of 
pasture. o. T. 
Portage Co., O. 
No fruit nor berries, all killed with 
the hardest frost we ever had here in 
June; mercury stood one morning at 21 
degrees. c . E. H. 
Brookland, Pa. 
June 17. Acreage of wheat and oats 
about ns last year. Wheat looks much 
better this year. Oats are looking well. 
Trices are: Oats, 35 to 36 cents; in 1912 
they wore close to GO cents. Wheat, 
$1.05; one year ago, $ 1 . 1214 . Hay has 
a poor showing at present; is very light 
as a general thing. The early planted 
corn got a set-back by the frost. 
Calhoun Co., Mich. c. o. h. 
June 21. Wheat, oats and corn are 50 
per cent, better than one year ago. Ilay 
crop will be very light, owing to lack of 
rain. This is the southeast corner town¬ 
ship of Gratiot C’o., and being located 
in the sugar beet section, considerable 
attention is paid to its cultivation, which 
lessens the acreage of wheat; as oats 
follow, beets and grass seed is sown 
with oats. c. H. R. 
Gratiot Co., Mich. 
June 18. Weather terribly hot. dry 
last few days. Late frost hurt the hay 
crop in Southern Grand Traverse Co. 
Late strawberries, one-half crop; late 
cherries, about two-thirds crop; apples, 
fairly well loaded for Winter varieties. 
This part of Grand Traverse, south¬ 
eastern and southwestern part of Mex- 
ford Co., is a great potato section. Farm¬ 
ers are planting at the present time. 
Potatoes, 15 cents a bushel: hay, $12; 
hogs, live, 7 cents; dressed, 9 y 2 ; cattle, 
6 cents, live; veal 6 cents: live chickens, 
10; milch cows, from $50 to $60. Wool is 
only 18 cents a pound. Eggs, 18; cream 
about one cent lower than Elgin prices. 
Buckley, Mich. j. h. m. 
The apple condition in this section is 
not as good as bloom indicated; about 
same amount of barrels with more Green¬ 
ings and less Baldwins than last year. 
Peaches considerably lighter than * last 
year. f. g. b. 
Scottsville, N. Y. 
tie, 4 to 5 cents. a. s. g. 
Andersonville, Ya. 
June 21. Milk is the money crop here. 
Contract price ranging from $1 to $1.20 
per hundred, but a premium is looked 
for over contract price. A raise of 10 
cents per can has been granted shippers 
at Ararat, the price being $1 per can 
now. Production is falling off some. 
Eggs are 22. Grass looks like a light 
crop at this date. Frost did some 
damage here to fruit and potatoes. 
Thompson, Pa. j. m. b. 
Crops in this section are backward and 
not as good as last year, with the ex¬ 
ception of rye. which is as good or a 
little better than last year. We had 
heavy frosts on May 11-12 that cut down 
the potato vines, only missing a few 
patches that were in protected locations. 
They have come up again but are small 
and uneven. The hay crop is being cut 
and is not more than half as good as 
last year. Clover is coming out in head 
when from four to six inches high and 
Timothy is not much better, excepting 
on low land. Corn is short and back¬ 
ward, owing to such cool weather during 
May and the forepart of June, but has 
a good color now and is growing fast. 
This is a grain and dairy section, verv 
little fruit or vegetables raised, with the 
exception of potatoes. a. j. w. 
Burlington Co., N. J. 
There were no _ strawberries sold here 
last week or this of any importance. 
Calves, live weight. $9 a hundred. White 
potatoes, old, obtained by the farmer, $1 
a barrel. Sweet, old. $1.75 a hamper. 
Asparagus, culls, $1.25: prime. $1.75; 
fancy, $2.25 a dozen. Tomatoes, $3 to 
$•>;(>() a crate. There were 19 crates 
shipped from Swedesboro market June 
20; 81 crates shipped June 21. These 
are prices paid by buyers here. Harry 
Stewart shipped 26 of the SI crates Sat¬ 
urday, June 20. h. j. m. 
Swedesboro, N. J. 
Owing to the frost both early and late 
the small fruits are not very plentiful. 
In most sections hops are looking fine 
in spite of the numerous frosts, which 
at first were thought to have done much 
damage to the hop crop. Once in a while 
a yard shows some signs of the blue or 
white mold. Because of the drought 
corn and other vegetables do not look 
very promising, and hay will be a very 
light crop, in most places not over a 
third of a crop, unless the rain of the 
last two days has come in time to start 
it growing. The markets are not very 
active; most of the farmers carry their 
milk to the creameries while a few ship 
it direct to the city. w. e

No-Rim-Cut Tires 
10% Over-Capacity 
The Chief Tire Problem 
How to end rim-cutting, for 
years and years, has been the 
chief problem of Tiredom. 
Many devices have been tried 
and abandoned. They devel¬ 
oped faults. The tires fell down. 
Thousands came back for 
placement. 
re- 
Every great tire maker, again 
and again, has tried to make 
tires that can’t rim-cut. 
We solved this problem in a 
faultless tire, and by means that 
we control. That is the reason 
why Goodyears now outsell 
every other tire. 
The Ruin of 
Rim-Cutting 
Motor car owners have lost mil¬ 
lions of dollars through having 
tires cut by rims. 
The trouble occurs when tires 
are run wholly or partly deflated. 
And the ruin can’t be satisfactorily 
repaired. 
Myriads of punctured tires have 
been wrecked in a moment—be¬ 
fore the driver knew of the punc¬ 
ture. 
No-Rim-Cut tires make this ruin 
impossible. They have been used 
for years,on hundreds of thousands 
of cars. And not one has ever 
rim-cut. 
Over- 
Capacity 
Another fact is that 
No-Rim-Cut tires ex¬ 
ceed clincher tires ten 
per cent in capacity. 
That is, in air ca¬ 
pacity. It is air that 
carries the load. This 
extra capacity, on the average, adds 
25 per cent to the mileage. 
So these tires embody two enor¬ 
mous economies. They save rim¬ 
cutting and save over-loading. 
The Secret 
Bands of Wire 
These tires are made possible by 
six flat bands of 126 braided wires. 
They are vulcanized into the tire 
base. 
Thus we get an unstretchable 
tire base, and we don’t hook the 
tire to the rim. 
One glance at these tires in any 
Goodyear shop will show why 
these tires can’t rim-cut. 
GoodJUar 
We control these bands by se¬ 
crecy. They are made under lock 
and key. 
And, so far as we know, there 
is no other way to make a satis¬ 
factory tire of this type. Nearly 
every maker has tried it. 
No Extra Price 
No-Rim-Cut tires used to cost 
one-fifth more than clinchers. 
With our multiplied output the 
price has come down. Now no 
standard tire of any type costs less 
than No-Rim-Cut tires. 
There is no reason whatever to 
try an experiment. No reason for 
tires that rim-cut, or for tires of 
less capacity. 
You can get at the 
same price the tire 
which is now the most 
popular tire in the 
world.
