CROPS AND PRICES. 
Auction sales of farm products are un¬ 
known here. The leading farm industry 
in this section is dairying and potato 
raising. The dairy products are as a 
rule sold to the creamery as sweet cream. 
Below are prices paid at two creameries 
about 20 miles apart, showing variation 
in price for the year 1913. This cream 
is collected at the company’s expense 
and will test about 20 per cent, butterfat. 
There is so little interest taken in pro¬ 
duction of beef here I would not at¬ 
tempt to quote prices on beef cattle. 
Dairy cows to ship to market bring from 
.$50 to $75, with an occasional sale of 
something fancy for $80 or $90. Ap¬ 
ples are the only fruit grown for market 
here. The producer does the picking and 
furnishes the barrel, and delivers at the 
shipping point. The purchaser does the 
packing. The price paid for crop of 
1913 was $2 per barrel for the poorer 
kinds, and $2.50 for standard varieties 
like Baldwin. Spy and King. The larger 
part of potato crop of 1913 has been 
sold for 50 cents per bushel at shipping 
point, the bushel being the unit of meas¬ 
ure here. Buyers are now offering 60 
cents per bushel.

April 19.— The first half of April was 
cold and rainy; farmers getting behind 
with their work. No gardens plowed or 
potatoes planted yet; roads drying up. 
Wheat looking fine; grass will soon do 
to turn oat on. Live stock looking well, 
very little selling at present. Corn 80; 
wheat 90; hay $41 to $-12 : potatoes $4 to 
$1.25; butter 20: eggs 16; chickens 12. 
Chesterhill, O. w. b. ii. 
This is largely a fruit section. It is 
reported the peaches are killed, a large 
percentage at least, by the extreme cold 
of the past Winter, but hope it will not 
be as bad as reported. Apples are in 
good shape; they promise a large crop, 
but of course farmers are not buying 
barrels yet. The seasons are later almost 
every year; that is good for fruit, hold¬ 
ing it back, but makes it hard to raise 
corn and other Summer crops; seems too 
short for most of them. Hay still holds at 
$14 per ton; potatoes 60: butter 22; 
eggs 18. Horses and cows are cheaper, 
but still bringing pretty good prices. 
Wheat has stood the Winter fairly well 
so far ; now with a warm rain and sun¬ 
shine wheat and grass will soon have the 
appearance of Spring that will be wel¬ 
come to most farmers. w. d. s. 
Newfane, N. Y. 
The sugar season has not been as good 
as some years and some have taken in 
their buckets. A few have commenced to 
plow and fix fences. There is no local 
demand for hay, as silos are supplying 
the deficiency of fodder. The demand 
for milch cows is quiet. Eggs 18 to 20; 
jar butter 21. Meal $1.45; bran $1.55; 
middlings $1.60. if. s. s.

Wheat is looking line. Sowing clover 
seed, and pruning is going on. No hog 
cholera here that we know of. April 
is very windy, with no snow or rain as 
yet. Auction sales are over now ; horses 
$50 to $200; cows $50 to $125; fat 
hogs $8 per hundred. No hay moving. 
Potatoes 45; corn at car 75; butter 25; 
eggs 17. l. t.

We have had a very severe Winter 
here; it continued through March, and 
even since April set in have had some 
ice. Peach, pear and cherry trees are | 
now in full bloom, with prospects of two- 
tliird erops, caused by Late freezing in 
March and AprIL Wheat and meadows 
are looking extra well, with unusual pros¬ 
pects for a big wheat crop., fjood. milch 
cows $50 to $100; stock cattle six to 
eight cents; hogs seven to nine cents; 
horses $100 to $175; good mares $200 
to $250. Wheat $1; corn $1.05; oats 
70; potatoes $1. Hens 13*4 ? eggs 15 ; 
butter, nice, 20. The continued rains 
have put the farmers considerably behind 
with their Spring work. w. BE.

Fighting The Scale.— This section 
has something of a reputation for fruit, 
the local- storages holding approximately 
one-quarter million barrels, and the San 
Jose scale is not dying out that we know 
of, except where persistent spraying is 
practiced. We do know of a good many 
trees, including some whole orchards that 
have died from the effects of the scale. 
Nature may be assisting in their removal 
by providing enemies that prey upon 
them, but she needs the assistance of man 
with a power pump and a good strong 
solution to remove them before they re¬ 
move the trees. We know of one school 
district in which seven men have bought 
rigs this Spring that never owned one 
before as an absolute necessity to save 
their trees from these pests. Help na¬ 
ture and she will help you. but don’t ] 
impose too much on her generosity.

(Will Your Mower Last 
40 Years? 
Read This Letter:— 
Louisville, N. Y. 
Send us a set of Guard 
Fingers for the Adriance 
Mower bought in 1875. This 
machine has been in active 
service sometimes on several 
farms, for the 39 years since 
purchase. With new guards 
is good for years to come. 
PREMO & SONS 
This Is just one of many 
such letters that we re¬ 
ceive. 
Don’t you consider it good business to buy a Mower that will last 30 to 50 
years instead of one that may last from 3 to 5 years? 
Here are reasons why ADRIANCE MOWERS last 
longer and ^ive better service than others: 
No other manufacturer selects his materials 
with such care. 
The construction of the ADRIANCE is 
such that there is no great strain on any one 
part. 
ADRIANCE 
MOWERS are 
scientifically and 
mec hanically 
correct. The 
main frame 
is one piece — 
very strong— 
absolutely rigid 
— insuring per¬ 
fect alignment 
of shafts—perfect mesh of gears under most severe use. 
Cutter Bar never binds—it is so flexible that it will follow uneven ground 
perfectly, also swings over the tongue when not in use. 
Forward Acting Foot Lever does the work with a 
natural movement of the leg, also serves as a foot brace 
in controlling a fractious team. 
ADRIANCE 
Spring Draft device 
completely overcomes 
shock to driver and 
team should an ob¬ 
struction be met. 
Beside being the 
strongest and best 
built mower on the 
market, you will find 
the ADRIANCE is 
the lightest draft and 
easiest to handle.

Get full profit. Keep your tractor busy. The Rumely OilPull 
runs economically at small loads as well as big ones. It is the closest 
regulated tractor built. It works steadily and smoothly at any load, and 
when it does a small job it presents you with a correspondingly small 
fuel bill. 
15-30, 2S-45, 30-60 horsepower 
No other tractor compares with the OilPull in steadiness of running be¬ 
cause no other can use the Secor-Higgins Oil-Fuel System. This 
system enables the OilPull to bum kerosene and even cheaper oil more 
efficiently than most tractors burn high-priced gasoline. 
You will find work for the OilPull every week, the year round. It will 
plow, drill, disc, or harrow,—build roads and haul your crops; it will 
thresh, grind, shell or pump, and save money on every job. 
Rumely service is back of every Rumely machine—49 branches and 11,000 
dealers. Supplies and repairs on short notice.
