Honey, 18c to 20c. Hens, 22c to 24c. 
Maple syrup, $1.50 per gal. The above 
named products are the leading ones in 
this section. I believe, taken as a whole, 
crops are above the average in quantity 
and quality. While some crops were a 
total failure, others were abundant. The 
business outlook for the farmer is good, 
never bettei*. especially for the man who 
is well on bis feet. I. L. ii. 
Bradford Co., Pa. 
The leading products here are bay, 
grain, potatoes and dairy products. Hay, 
$34 to $36 per ton; wheat, $2.10; rye, 
$1.60; corn, $2; oats. $1; buckwheat. $4 
per cwt.; potatoes, $1.75 per bu. The 
farmers receive Oc per <it. for milk, the 
retailers receive 14c. Butter, 00c per lb.; 
eggs, 70e. Pullets, ,30e per lb., live; 
bens, 28e, live. Apples, $1..50. Pigs, $12 
to $14 per pair, four to five weeks old. 
The corn is nearly all busked and cribbed 
and was a fair crop in this community. 
Buckwheat was a light crop on account 
of the drought during .July and August, 
and grasshoppers. There is a greater 
acreage of wheat and rye than there has 
been in ,a long time. Some was .sown late 
hut looks very promising. Not much Full 
plowing done. w. u. w. 
Carbon Co., Pa. 
This Fall I got 4c a head for lettuce ; 
.3c a bunch for beets; 90c per %-bu. bkt. 
for carrots ;_65e to 75c per %-l)u. bkt. for 
cabbage; 65c per bkt. for cabbage; 15c 
per bunch, four stalks, celery; $1.25 per 
bkt. for potatoes. I have seen some com¬ 
ment in your paper ou the middleman. I 
deal with a commission man who is very 
satisfactory; be soils my produce on a 
10 per cent basis. The commission man 
gets some blame for things which be can¬ 
not control; pot herbs, for one thing; he 
gets me le .a bunch, but the retail dealer 
in some ca.ses gets 6c a bunch. The.f.armer 
and middleman get the blame for this and 
other excess i>riees. s. n. B,

The farmers in this county (Union), 
same a.s in most other sections, are very 
much hampered by the shortage of help. 
We expected to get some help from the 
camp of farmerettes at Summit. N. .T., but 
the number at the camp was not sufficient 
to supply the demand, consequently the 
farmers 10 or 15 miles from headquarters 
were not able to get them at all. How- 
over we pulled through by leaving some 
things undone that we should have done. 
My principal crops are strawberries, to¬ 
matoes, Lima beans and sweet corn; in a 
small way corn, oats, potatoes, melons, 
apples and poaches. I have no reason to 
complain alx)ut production or prices re¬ 
ceived. Strawberries the past season did 
exceptionally well. I sold most of the 
croj) to a local grocer, he coming and tak¬ 
ing the berries daily at 18c to 22e per (it. 
Wheat and rye not grown to any great ex¬ 
tent bore. Early planted corn yielded well ; 
owing to the wet and cold considerable 
corn was planted late and failed to ma¬ 
ture. Oats a bumper crop. Both these 
grains consumed at home. In this imme¬ 
diate section market gardening and the 
dairy business receive most attention. A 
lar,ge amount of the produce grown is sold 
by the grower direct to the consumer, aiul 
grower gets all there is in it. There is a 
farmers’ market at Plainfield, one in Rah¬ 
way and one in Westfield, open thi’ce da.ys 
of the week. Some far.-ners patronize the 
small markets, others go from house to 
house. This takes a lot of time, but it 
pays. _ Growers who have more than they 
can dispose of in this way drive to larger 
markets—Newark, about 12 miles; Eliza¬ 
beth, six miles. Milk is sold by prodiicei’s 
from wagon direct to families, getting at 
present time 15c per qt. Apples and 
peaches almost a failure. Growers’ retail 
prices were: Cabbage, 5o to 1.5c per 
head; celery,_ 15c per bunch of three 
roots; pumpkins and squa.sh, 5c to 25c, 
as to size; potatoes, $1.00 to .$2 per hu.; 
('ggs, 80e to 85e. Wood, maple and o.ak, 
4 ft., delivered, $10 per cord; sawed, de¬ 
livered, $12 per cord; hickory, $2 to $3 
higher.

DI5C HARROW 
You can use this disc harrow 
with either your tractor or horses 
and do fine work either way. It is 
built heavier and stronger than 
the usual horse-drawn disc har¬ 
row, but this construction does not 
detract from its usefulness when 
used with horses. 
Gangs are held down under spring pres¬ 
sure and readily follow uneven ground 
and are easily adjusted while in the 
ground. Rigid frame takes up end thrust 
—bumpers do not ride—yet inner ends 
of the gangs angle close together. Each 
gang has three large dust proof bearings, 
with one-piece housings and wood bush¬ 
ings. Fixed scrapers keep the discs 
cleaxa without attention from operation. 
Built in 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10-ft. sizes, single 
or double cut, 18-in. discs with or with¬ 
out tongue truck. See your Moline 
Dealer about this disc harrow or write us.
