Crops and Farm News 
Crops have been fairly good, except 
oats, which were about one-third crop. 
Corn average crop ; potatoes not very big 
yield, but of good quality, selling around 
$1.60. Many potatoes shipped in that are 
rotting badly. Feed remains high. Miik 
is bringing around $3.25 per cwt. in fac¬ 
tory and the League price prevails at 
eondensery. Cows are selling from $100 
to $150 for springers; shippers or culls 
very low, from $25 to $50. Fork has 
taken a decided slump, being around $13 
for dressed. Veal calves are bringing $U 
per cwt. ITav selling around $20 per 
ton. IIav was a pretty good crop and 
there is usually lots of it pressed m this 
locality. Many of the younger farmers 
are busy trapping this Fall, as fur prices 
are away up. Apples were a poor crop 
and selling for $2 to $2.50 per bu. Farm¬ 
ers are rather disgusted with the milk 
situation. The eondensery owned by 
Nestle's Food Co. is trying to force farm¬ 
ers to sign a contract for six months, but 
is not having very good success. Two 
weeks ago cheese sold on Gomel neur 
board for 3(Hic. and while the market has 
remained firm in New York City, we were 
compelled to take 29 1 / 4c. for our cheese 
last week. It looks like a big steal on 
the part of the buyers, and think some 
means should be found to put a stop to 
such profiteering. F - L • s -

This section of Morris County is noted 
for its rough land, neither a dairi noi 
wholly butter producing district; seems 
to be' about equally divided between the 
two classes. Generally speaking it is a 
poor lot of rundown, neglected farm land, 
and if the help situation does not improve 
it will get - poorer yet. No monthly help 
to be had at any price; we have to de¬ 
pend on a few good old has-beens by the 
dav. at from $2 to $2.75 for nine hours 
labor. We get at the store 85c for our 
eggs; butter. 75c per lb. ;■ comb honey. 
25c. per lb.; milk. 12c per qt.; potatoes. 
$2 per bu.: turnips. $1 per bu.; onions, 
$2 per bu.: poultry, live. 25c per lb.; 
$16 and $18 per cwt. for veal calves; 
$12 and $14 per cwt. for lambs. Live 
hogs. $11 to $16 per cwt., those weighing 
150 lbs. and over bring latter price. 
Bologna cows, $45 to $60; good grade 
milch cows, from $100 to $175. Not 
much registered stock around here. 
Horses, $45 to $250 apiece; hay. from 
$35 to $4S per ton. buyer does the haul¬ 
ing: oat straw, $7.50 per ton; rye straw, 
$6 per ton; cornstalks, 6c and 7c bundle; 
new corn. $1.50 per cwt.; oats. 60c per 
bu.; rye. $1.50 to $1.80 per bu.. depend¬ 
ing on the miller’s opinion as to the 
amount of moisture in it on account of 
the .excessive rains during harvesting. 
Very little wheat raised here. Buckwheat, 
$4 per cwt. Good fruit land here but no 
care given to the trees, hence never any 
big crops; no cherries this year. Fifteen 
Ox-heart trees failed to set. a single cherry 
this season. Buds were killed by late 
frosts in April. Lot of land being bought 
here by city people who have an idea they 
can make money faster than the average 
farmer. They pay 50c to $1 more a day 
for help, hang on for a year or two. and 
after their disappointment are ready to 
sell out and go back to the city. Seeding 
below the average this year: land too wet 
to work. All crops very light this year; 
several farmers ouittmg. getting tired of 
selling below tlm cost of production.

Pushing a wheelbarrow through 
soft soil is almost an impossible 
job. The wheel sinks in and gets 
stuck. 
TANK-TYPE TRACTOR} 
C Formerly known at the "Cleveland Tractor ”) 
It runs on tracks as a 
wheelbarrow runs on a plank 
Lay a track of boards 
oyer the ground and 
you can roll along 
easily enough. 
T RY to push a loaded wheelbarrow through 
soft plowed ground. You have to exert 
every ounce of your strength. The wheel sinks 
in deeper and deeper and you finally get “stuck” 
altogether and have to take off your load. 
But lay a plank over the same soft ground 
and you can roll the same wheelbarrow over it 
with the same load — but with only a fraction 
of the effort. It Was the plank that made the 
difference. Its broad flat surface distributed the 
weight of the load so that there was very little 
pressure at any one point. 
And right there you have the principle back 
of the Cletrac Tank-Type Tractor. It runs on 
broad flat tracks in much the same way as the 
wheelbarrow runs on the plank. No power is 
wasted. You can pull a bigger load. Fuel and 
oil go further. And more work can be done in 
less time — at less cost. 
Because you can work so efficiently on soft soil 
with the Cletrac you can go through with the 
entire preparation of the seed bed — a most 
unusual thing for a tractor to do. The Cletrac 
doesn’t sink in and doesn’t leave two hard trails 
of packed down soil behind it. 
Order your Cletrac now. There is plenty 
of work for the Cletrac to do, like getting out 
wood, hauling logs, grinding feed, breaking roads, 
hauling manure, etc., during the winter months 
and when Spring work comes along you will be 
fully acquainted with your Cletrac. 
We have an interesting 32-page book entitled 
“ Selecting Your Tractor ” that will be sent free upon 
request. It discusses tractor farming problems on a 
“brass tack” basis. Write for your copy today .
