Crops and Farm News 
Our main crops in this locality are 
corn, rye, wheat, oats and potatoes. Corn, 
wheat and rye are looking well; oats a 
poor crop; potatoes a fair crop; hay 
promises a good yield. Quite a number 
of farmers are putting out tomatoes for 
Campbell factory; price $18.50 per ton 
at our railroad station ; corn is selling at 
local mills at $1.80 per bu.; potatoes, 
$1.50 per 1 u. Our local creameries paid 
7c per qt. for milk during May. Cows are 
bringing from $50 to $200 at auction. 
Pigs are selling at from $12 to $15 per 
pair six weeks old. G. D. H.

The present outlook for farmers in this 
section is very good. Hay will be a heavy 
crop and is getting down badly. A bet¬ 
ter prospect for wheat than we have had 
for a number of years, and a large acre¬ 
age ; also a good deal of Spring wheat 
was sown, which is looking good. Beans 
are a dead issue through here this year 
on account of the blight which has made 
them a total failure in most cases for the 
last two years. The grape and peach 
crop will be light on account of the late 
freeze. The farmers are receiving here for 
oats, 70c; wheat, $2.20; hay, $85 for No. 
1, and dealers are contracting the new 
crop at $25. Potatoes. $1.50 per bu.; 
eggs, 40c doz.; butter. 45c lb.; beans. $10 
per 100 lbs., hand-picked, for red kidney.

Corn is late owing to the cold, wet 
weather which we had at planting time, 
and will require good growing weather 
and late Fall to get a yield of hard corn. 
Wheat, oats, rye and hay are good. All 
indications point to a fair yield of peaches 
and pears, with the peach crop about 50 
per cent better than last year. There is 
a poor yield of strawberries and cherries. 
Plums are not very good. Apples look 
pretty well, and I think there will be a 
fair yield where the trees were sprayed. 
The farmers in this section are getting a 
good price for everything they have to 
sell. Good demand for fresh eggs. 60 to 
65c doz. Butter has been 65 to 70c lb., 
but is now selling at 60 to 65c lb. There 
is not much milk shipped out of this sec¬ 
tion ; the dairyman sells it to the retail 
trade at 15c per qt.; buttermilk, 30c per 
gal. J. o. j.

$2 per bu. from grocers. They have paid 
to ship $1.50 per bu. Oats 90c at the 
feed store at retail and about 72c if a 
farmer goes to town with a load. Barley 
is worth $1 to sell by farmer, and if 
some farmer goes to mill or feed store it. 
costs him $3.50 per 100 lbs ground. All 
of the commercial feeds are $8.80 to $3.60 
per 100 lbs. except bran, which is $2 60 
per 100 lbs. Clover seed to buy is $2S

wood. 1 have been receiving 53 to 55c 
for my eggs for hatching; it is a little 
better* than shipping to New York.

The principal business of the majority 
of farmers throughout Tioga County is 
dairying. They send their milk to con- 
denseries and cheese companies at League 
prices. Our principal crops are oats, 
buckwheat, potatoes, hay and some wheat. 
Oats run in price from S5c to $1 per bu.; 
buckwheat around $2 per bu.; potatoes, 
$1 per bu.; hay. $35 per ton, delivered. 
In some localities they raise quite a 
large amount of cabbage that sold for 
$1.50 to $2 per 100 lbs. Onions, $1 per 
bu.. On account of very wet weather 
our sowing has been very backward; 
quite a lot of oats and corn will be put 
in now and a large acreage will be sown 
to buckwheat that was calculated for 
oats and corn. Grass is looking fairly 
well, and what oats and corn is up is 
looking good. We are within six miles 
of the Blossburg coalfield, and draw our 
coal from there, paying $3.25 per ton at 
the mines for run of the mines.

Y UU men ot the farm pay tor it. otay 
in, and you wear out the sidewalls 
of your tires; get out, and you ride the 
bumps. You pay either in the discomfort , 
or your tires. But in or out of the rut, 
you pay less if your car is shod with 
Goodrich Tires, built to meet the harsh 
demands of unpaved roads. 
Examine their extra thick, extra wide 
SAFETY tread. See how the Goodrich 
interlocking safety bars spread beyond 
the ball of the tire to the sidewalls. 
Under weight and pressure it lays more 
tough tread rubber, and more safety 
clutch on the road.l 
See how the wider tread carries on up 
the tire, and beneath the side strip, giv¬ 
ing an extra shield of tough rubber to 
fortify the tire where ruts attack it. 
For high-powered cars, always use 
Goodrich Silvertown Cords.
