The principal thing here is the cow.I 
It has been very wet in this section and] 
crops are late; oats good, about 40 bu. 
per acre. Buckwheat is fair. Potatoes 
are looking good ; about three-quarters of 
an acreage. Corn is good, but small 
acreage. Hay is a big crop. We have 
no grain to sell; have to buy. It is high;] 
$70 to $80 per ton. It is too early to 
give prices on potatoes. Help is scarce, 
in fact there is not one hired man in this 
locality. We are nearly all League mem¬ 
bers here, and get League prices for milk.

Farmers in Franklin County have their' 
harvesting nearly completed, and some are 
thrashing; the yield is not nearly as large 1 
as last year. The recent rains have great¬ 
ly improved the corn and potato crops. 
Farmers in this section are interested in 
dairying, perhaps more or as much as any! 
other branch of farming. Milk brings 
about $3.20 per hundred for September 1 
at the condenseries. Butter, 63c per lb. 
Eggs. 55c; poultry, alive, 25c to 30c pet- 
lb. This is the season of the year when 
the fairs are in full swing and nearly all 
of the farmers and their families are in 
attendance. it. t. ,t. 
Franklin Co.. N. Y. 
Thio is a milk and apple producing 
section ; 25 per cent less cows than two 
years ago, and the herds growing smaller 
all the time. The apple crop is fairly 
large, but the apples so small and inferior. 
A few who have 2*4-in. minimum have 
sold for $5.50 per bu.. to be picked and 
put in heaps in orchard, but the greater 
part prefer to ship tree run to commission! 
houses at the Bronx, New York City, in 
cloth-top barrels, barrels to be returned.; 
The minimum price for picking apples is' 
50c per bbl. The coni crop is large, but. 
will go mostly in the silos. The largest 
dairyman in the Harlem Valley remarked. 
“If I had set an orchard, a few years ago 
today I would have been on the road to 
easy street. E. M. n.

The farmers are receiving fur grass, 
calves that are extra large $20. and 
others, according to size, from $10 up. 
Pigs four weeks old, $0; eggs, 48c in 
trade, and at nearby village 50c. We are 
12 miles from a railroad, get 10c per lb. 
for live hogs at station. Milk at our 
cheese factory. $2.75 per cwt. They make 
whey butter, get 50c. Some factories are 
able to make a larger net by taking out! 
for water when it rains; we don’t uules^i 
it is an extra hard one. Milch cows are 
very high, $125 to $200. as to quality. 
Not much sale for horses. Potatoes are 
good quality, but are not yielding well ; 
not many sold here. Hay was an extra 
large crop and good quality ; not much, if 
any more, for sale than usual, a.- there 1 
is not much old hay. We pay $4.30 for 
meal : $5.10 for oats, and about $2.50 for 
bran at null 12 miles from here. Flouri 
here is $3.50; sugar. 12c; dark sugar lie;]

Prospects for Silo Cora 
We have a splendid corn crop in this: 
section, one of the largest 1 have ever] 
known. T think all the silos will be tilled.* 
I think the acreage fully up to normal. 
Chenango Co., N. Y*. e. e. u. 
The corn crop is full, better than the 
average and most silos will be filled to 
their full capacity this year. Our rain¬ 
fall has not been heavy this Summer; ar 
times some crops have lacked rain. Hay 
not as good as usual. Oats going from 
25 to 40 bu. per acre. Buckwheat: and 
potatoes looking good. No apples. 
Tioga Co., N. Y. c. v. 
The corn crop is the best in years' in 
this section, especially along the rivers 1 
and small flats, gravel soil and plenty of 
moisture. Those who planted Luce’s 
Favorite are now tilling their silos, and 
will have more than enough to till them. 
Tioga Co.. N. Y. a. s. 
The corn crop will be au average one. 
1 think the silos will be as full as they 
usually are. S. a. w. 
Delaware Co., N. Y. 
The silos in this neighborhood are about 
half filled at the present time, and the 
indications are that there will lie more 
corn left in the fields after tilling this 
year than for several years past.

AN OPEN LETTER 
to those who hare not secured immediate 
delivery of their new 1920 Haynes cars 
By A. G. SEIBERLING, Vice-President and General Manager 
The Havocs Automobile Company. Kokomo, Ind., U. S. A. 
T is a matter of great regret to us that thousands of 
people have been unable to get immediate delivery 
of the new 1920 Haynes* The fact that we have 
succeeded in increasing production to the point where 
we may soon be on a greater delivery basis is encouraging to 
us* But we feel that an explanation is due all of the good 
friends of the Haynes who have waited so patiently and so 
expectantly for their cars- 
During the war our plant was con¬ 
verted into one to serve our govern¬ 
ment. Our engineers and designers 
went ahead with their work and pro¬ 
duced the new 1920 Haynes. Its tre¬ 
mendous appeal at the opening of the 
year is a matter of history, and orders 
continued to come from all parts of 
this country as well as from abroad. 
Our dealers have done their best to 
take care of their patrons. We realize, 
however, that even when the situation 
was understood everyone who ordered 
a new Haynes was more and more 
anxious to receive it. 
We could not “rush” production. 
Even had it been mechanically possible 
there remained the fact that no 
Haynes is allowed to leave our plant 
until it has satisfied the rigid inspec¬ 
tion tests of our engineers and de¬ 
signers. 
Each Haynes car must exemplify the 
four essential factors of character— 
beauty, strength, power and comfort— 
before it can co to its future owner. 
This extra care on our part is a tangible 
benefit to the owner, t tsi we know how- 
anybody feels about it when he has 
ordered a fine new car and cannot get it. 
But the orders continue to come in. 
The new 1920 Haynes is actually an ad¬ 
vance model. It is what, in ordinary 
times, w-ould have been expected of 
this organization next January. Nat¬ 
urally, every time one is driven from a 
Haynes dealer’s establishment it avvak- 
The Haynes, AMERICA S FIRST CAR, ntrw exhibited by the government at the Smithsonian 
Institution, Washington, D. C., 'was invented, designed and built by Elwood Haynes, in 1893. 
ens in the mind of every beholder the 
desire to own one. Thus the orders 
show no indication of abatement. 
We are doubling the capacity of our 
plant; we have increased our produc¬ 
tion. Those who have waited have 
profited, because they are getting 
Haynes cars which are wonderfully 
improved. 
The new 1920 Haynes, therefore, is a 
car worth waiting a little while for. 
Whether it is the seven-passenger tour¬ 
ing car, the four-door, four-passenger 
roadster, the seven-passenger limou¬ 
sine, the seven-passenger sedan or the 
four-passenger coupe, we know that it 
comes fully up to the Haynes standard 
of a car of character. 
Our earnest recommendation is that 
you place your reservation with your 
Haynes dealer now. You may have to 
wait a short time before receiving your 
car, but the value of your investment 
will more than offset the slight delay. 
We have promised your dealer to do 
our best to fill his orders with the least 
possible loss of time, and that every 
car we send him shall measure fully up 
to the standards created and perfected 
by the Haynes organization in all the 
twenty-six years since Elwood Haynes 
thrilled this country with his inven¬ 
tion—America’s First Car.
