north of Philadelphia. 'Winter grain 
looks well. We are about I'eady to sow 
oats. We have some farms with rich 
land ; the scenery is fine, somewhat hilly. 
There are a few small poultry farms and 
one large squab plant. Some of the farm¬ 
ers are beginning to raise purebred cattle, 
such as Guernseys and Holsteins. Ii. \v.

ple buds never looked better. Plenty of

Dutchess Co., X. Y. 
Winter wheat conditions in Montgom¬ 
ery County, and from what I can learn 
in most of Eastern Kansas, are excellent; 
in fact, seldom better. Oats also are in 
fine shape, but a little late becau.se of dry 
Spring. Several fine showers lately have 
brought out bluegrass pastures in good 
condition, and most stock is now making 
its own living. Alfalfa, of which there is 
a large and growing acreage, will be ready 
to ent before the last of April. Some corn 
is planted, but the acreage will be very 
small, being crowded out by wheat, oats. 
Alfalfa and kafir, which are surer crops. 
This being in the heart of the mid-con¬ 
tinent oil and gas field, farm labor is 
very scarce, becau.se farmers cannot pay 
the* oil field wages. Being near a num¬ 
ber of thriving manufacturing towns, mo.st 
of our produce brings local prices which 
are generally good. Montgomery County 
is developing into quite a dairy section, 
being influenced greatly by the great pro¬ 
duction of Alfalfa and the increase in the 
number of silos. The farmers are at 
present receiving the following prices: 
Milk. 10 to 15c when delivered; eggs. 28c; 
butter. 40c; prairie hay, .$'20: Alfalfa, 
$27; live bogs. $15; fruit mostly shipped 
in, except berries, which do well.
