Prime sweet potatoes, .$1.50 to $1.75 
bu.; seconds, $1.12^ per bu. Peppers, 
diffeiont qualities, $2 to $3.25 per bbl.; 
cherry peppers, $2 to $2.50 per bu. Cra '- 
berry beans, $1.75 to $2.25 per bu. To¬ 
matoes, $1.75 to $2.50 for 24-qt. crates. 
The beginning of October tomatoes sold 
as low as 75c. Kieffer peai'S, $L to 
$1.75 per bu. These are prices received 
in shipping to New York markets. The 
farmers sell peppers for cash at the sta¬ 
tion to agents of different associations. 
They get from $1.50 to $.3 per bbl., and 
$1.75 per bu. for cherry peppers. We sell 
Kieffer pears here at the station for 3c 
per lb., cash. The sweet potato crop 
this year seems to be light, and the late 
round potatoes seem to have a touch of 
the blight. We farmers would be satis¬ 
fied if we could get our money for all the 
produce we shipped, but often we meet 
crooks who get our goods and won’t pay 
us. Our association lost $385 on a car¬ 
load of peppers. But we still have hopes, 
as we put it in the R. N.-Y.’s hands to 
try to collect for us. C. L.M.

I depend on selling nothing but milk 
and eggs; everything else we raise is 
consumed or given to our friends. I am 
selling milk at League prices, with 15c 
added for having our barns score to meet 
the requirements of Grade A milk. Eggs 
are bringing us 65c per doz, cash. Good 
veal calves, 21c per lb., alive. Potatoes 
are very poor; apples very good; corn 
about half a crop; wheat fair, but a large 
amount is damaged; rye the same; oats, 
a good yield, but very little grain was 
actually gathered. All garden and truck 
produce was quite good except Lima 
beans, which were a failure. J. L. s.

Potato crop was very light, also the 
canhouse tomato crop; in some cases fields 
were torn up a*ad sown to grass. In this 
immediate neighborhood the general farm 
crops are potatoes, corn, tomatoes, early, 
and canhouse. peppers; very little wheat 
raised and what there was nearly all lost 
with the wet spell. There are quite a lot 
of Red-skin, Pink-eye, and Cobbler po¬ 
tatoes raised late for seed. The^early 
potatoes brought from $3 to $3.75 per 
cwt. early, and are selling for about $1 
per % basket now in Philadelphia. Pep- 
pers, 30 (o 50c per basket; canhouse to¬ 
matoes, 90c to $1 per basket, at shipping 
point. Kieffer pears same price. The 
farm conditions are very much unsettled; 
seems almost impossible to satisfy the 
help. I think that the eight-hour day is 
going to put us farmers out of business, 
and drive the help away from the farm. 
Farmers hardly know how to make their 
plans for another year on account of 
help, strikes and boycotts. Lots of us got 
caught in asparagus time, last of June, 
with that strike of truck drivers in New 
York. If you noticed our public press 
made very little mention of that. A. M.

Gentlemen: —We are 
heating our house of 
eleven rooms with one 
of your No. 240 One 
Pipe Furnaces. Every 
room is comfortable and 
we use much less coal 
than we ever did before. 
—George B. Otto, Boil¬ 
ing Springs, Pa., March 
11, 1919. 
’/ want a one-pipe furnace that 
gives healthful heat? said Andes 
'VT OT only do I want a one pipe furnace that saves fuel 
money and gives comfortable heat; not only do I want 
a one pipe furnace that I can feel proud to put the name 
“Andes” on and that I can guarantee — 
—but I also want a one pipe furnace that gives healthful 
heat—heat that will supply the right amount of moisture 
necessary for the best health. I want provision for extra 
large waterpans. 
I want all these things, said Andes. And Andes got them. 
Gentlemen: — We are 
pleased to express our appre¬ 
ciation of your One Pipe 
Andes Furnace. We are us¬ 
ing at least one-fourth less 
coal.— Jennie A. Walbridge, 
Malone, N. Y., March 27, 
1919. 
ONE PIPE FURNACE 
'Better HeatingJbrLess Money 
And because Andes insisted on perfection in all the points 
that make a furnace a furnace, thousands of homes today 
are enjoying the money-saving, the heat-comfort and the 
heat-healthfulness of the Andes System One Pipe Furnace. 
It is no uncommon thing for an Andes to cut down fuel 
bills one-third to one-half. An Andes One Pipe will heat 
more rooms than a stove and use less fuel. And of course 
it gives healthful heat.
