Crops and Farm News 
Corn, buckwheat and potatoes are the 
leading crops around here; some wheat 
and oats. No market at present for 
wheat; oats not much over 50c per bu. 
Potatoes .$1 a bushel. Corn and buck¬ 
wheat looking good, but very late this 
year. Milk a good price, many cows 
kept. Dairy butter 40c and 42c. Eggs 
have a good market here, bringing 52c 
for white and 46c for brown. Not much 
gardening or fruit raised around here. 
Tioga Co., N. Y. R.E. 
Earmers are very busy; one cannot 
hire anyone that is half a man, and 
they want from .$.> to $4 per day. They 
claim to work nine hours, not if you kept 
track of all the time_ they kill. They 
don’t put in eight. Within the last* week 
and the week to come there will be eight 
or ten .auctions of cows, not less than 15 
to 20 to a herd, going out of the business; 
no money in milk. The retaliers want 
12c per qt. and refuse to pay more than 
-Sc per qt. The majority feel that 3c 
ought to be enough fcv delivering it. 
Dne grain dealer within 10 miles of hei-e 
bought ten cars of whole corn last Pall 
to be delivered a car a month for 98c 
per bushel; has sold some of that corn 
as high as $4.85 per bag. lie told a 
friend that the grain men had made more 
money in the last 10 months than in all 
their past lives. It does not seem to me 
the blame is all in Chicago! But they 
get out of it by claiming to sell in the 
market. M. A. K. 
Worcester Co., Mass. 
Very hot and dry. Labor and teams 
very difficult to secure. Hay very cheap; 
standing grass being given away in many 
cases, while not over two-fifths has 
been cut in some sections. Milk 9c at 
retail, butter 43-45c, eggs 50c, potatoes 
50c pk. retail. Good cows easily bring 
$100 and are hard to get. Farmers 
raising more young stock than two 
years ago, but there is grass for many 
more. Feed is very high, the last bag 
of corn costing $3.95 and many cows do 
not receive any feed while on pasture. 
Smaller number of chickens than usual 
raised this year. Green vegetables 
<‘heap, string beans hard to sell at 75c 
bu., while peas are .$1.50 per bu. to the 
stores. Season 10-20 days late. Not 
many apples this year. g, l, U.
