I find that potato crop here D not look¬ 
ing particularly good ; in fact, a good 
piece is the exception. The tops do not 
look healthy; no signs of blight so far as 
I could judge from riding past the fields, 
but they look small, unhealthy and in 
many cases a poor stand. I talked with 
an old friend who is in the produce busi- 
rose and he said it was a decidedly poor 
outlook; he thought the market would 
start at about $1.50 per bu. and anyway 
go to $2 by February of 1920. They are 
selling now on our public mauket at $2.50 
tf> $2.70; that is what grocers and huck¬ 
sters pay the* growers. Corn is very un¬ 
even, some extra good pieces and some 
very poor. If frost will hold off until 
about November 1 a good many pieces may 
do something. Season was late, rain, 
rain and then more rain prevented plant 
ing until it was too late for corn in this 
section unless, as we say, the frost holds 
off nearly GO days longer. Oats are tin* 
poorest crop we have ever seen in Monroe 
County. There are many pieces which 
will not yield 15 bu. to the acre ; they are 
short, have to cut with a mower, weedy, 
thin, in fact, in many cases a total fail 
ure. I\ heat is not yielding anything like 
what was expected early in the season ; 
abgut 20 bu. is close to the average, in 
some cases only 10 bu. A yield of 30 bu 
is the rare exception. Iluyers are paying 
$2.20, advanced the price 5c per bu. yes¬ 
terday. Ilay is being sold at about $20 
for No. 2 and buyer standing the expense 
of baling. I am under the impression 
that this is the outside price. Have seen 
very little cabbage, some is good and some 
nothing, but have not been in the cab- 
bag)* sections since the plants were set. 
Monroe Co., X. Y. c. I. 
The main crops raised in this section 
are wheat, oats, corn, hay .and potatoes. 
The following prices prevail at present: 
Wheat, $2 20 per bu. ; oats, 90c; corn. 
$2 (on ear) ; hay. $58; potatoes $1.25 
per basket. The wheat is not turning out 
as well as expected. Ilay and oat crops 
are rather short. Potatoes and corn are 
looking fair. The apple crop is good, but 
peaches are rotting on the trees. 
Bucks Co., Pa. e. l. j . 
Kggs. 53c. Old hay, $33; new hay, 
$20. Corn $1.85 per bu.; wool, 50c lb. 
Clover hay. fair; Timothy hay, heavy; 
corn growing well. Oaf crop quite good, 
but not as good as last year. Ilye and 
wheat all gathered and good. Some 
buckwheat was sown. Cows sell at sales 
from $150 to $207 ; calves, 19c lb.; fowls, 
52c lb.; ducks, 32c lb. These prices are 
what farmers are receiving for their 
products. p. it. k.

P MRBANKS-MORSE famous “Z” kerosene engines for the 
farm are now equipped with Champion Dependable Spark 
Plugs. 
These sturdy, economical engines are making work easier 
for more than 250,000 farmers. Ranging in size from 1)4 horse¬ 
power to 15 horsepower, they are adapted to countless power 
jobs. They run cream separators, milking machines and 
washers. They operate electric light plants and water systems. 
There is hardly a power need that is not met fully and capably 
by one of the reliable Fairbanks-Morse “Z” kerosene engines.

Fairbanks Morse “Z M engines hold an enviable reputation 
for performance, economy and quality. The choice of Cham¬ 
pion Dependable Spark Plugs as standard equipment for this 
line of engines, means still another important step in insuring 
their satisfactory operation under all conditions. 
Champion Dependable Spark Plugs have proved their worth 
in all weather and in all climates on every type of internal com¬ 
bustion engine. Their adoption by Fairbanks-Morse is but 
one more proof of the high esteem in which they are held.

M’e have bad a very wet season, with 
the farmers somewhat behind with lieu- 
work. A very good hay crop, a h - - 
wheat crop, but about 70 per cent of . • 
crop has been sprouted, more or less, 
heavy rains. The grain houses are o 
fering from $2.15 per bu. down, aceordin ; 
to the condition of the wheat. Corn 
promises a heavy crop. Corn, wheat and 
oats are our main crops, with some small 
dairies. The larger of the dairy farmers 
are culling their herds very hard, owing I 
to the scarcity of labor and the high cost | 
of concentrated feeds. Wheat. $2 17- 
down to $1.50 per bu.; corn, $50 per ton 
(on cob) ; outs, (>7c per bu.; hay. $30 per 
ton; potatoes, $1.75 per GO lbs.; oilmeul, 
protein, $95 per ton; cottonseed meal,

dlings, $72; corumeal. $80; milk, 2(5 to 
28c per gallon, retailing in the town for 
15c to 18c per qt. ; butter, 62c per lb.; 
eggs. 52c; fresh cows from $100 to $200; 
calves, $20 per cwt.; horses plenty but 
no demand. The farmer has had more 
money to handle this year than ever, yet 
many claim the balance is on the debtor 
side of the sheet. Regardless of that, 
there are plenty of good farms for rent 
in this county, and tin- flow of tenant 
farmers to town and city continues.
