Crops and Farm News 
Farming in this section is done on a 
small scale; the country is much broken 
and very hilly, although with proper til¬ 
lage, fertilizer and lime, very fair crops 
are raised. The main crops are corn, oats, 
buckwheat, potatoes and hay. The aver¬ 
age per acre is corn, 60 bu. ears; oats, 30 
bu.; wheat. 22 bu.; buckwheat, 30 bu.; 
potatoes, 125 bu.; hay. one to two tons. 
Corn ears, 85c; oats. 05c per bu.; wheat, 
82 per bu.: buckwheat. $1.35 per bu.; po¬ 
tatoes, $1.25 per bu. Hay, $18 to $25 per 
ton. Butter. 60c per lb.; eggs, 60c; pork, 
20c per lb.; beef, 16 to 18c per lb. One 
of the drawbacks in this section is a mar¬ 
ket. Any crops produced here are of a 
standard quality. Business conditions are 
looking fair. w. b. p. 
Clearfield Co., Pa. 
Farmers are busy putting up their ice 
supply. Franklin County is perhaps in¬ 
terested as much or more in dairying 
than any other branch of farming. The 
League price for January milk is $3.60. 
Butter, 75c per lb.; eggs. S5e per doz.; 
potatoes, $1.50 per bu. n. T. j. 
Franklin Co., N. Y. 
We are enjoying Summer weather while 
the East is having a coal miners’ strike 
nd zero weather. Frogs are croaking in 
he valleys where there is any running 
water, and things are getting gr «uer 
very day. Average temperature is t ora 
40 to 50 degrees, or 55 degrees, nights; 
60 to SO degres when the sun shine, day¬ 
time; cold when it rains. Head lettuce, 
peas, egg-plant, butter beans, spinach, rad¬ 
ishes. turnips, in the gardens—if you ir¬ 
rigate- and feed fertilizers. 
Sau Diego, Cal. mbs. c. m. g. 
Main crops raised in this community 
are potatoes, wheat, rye. corn and some 
oats. Potatoes are the chief crop; they 
are mostly loaded in cars and scut to 
New York and Philadelphia. They are 
bought up by dealers, who are paying $2 
for 60 lbs, just now. Corn not sold much, 
also oats. Wheat. $1.15 to $1.20; rye, 
from $1.40 to $1.60. The prospect around 
here is pretty good. Most of the farms 
are worked by the owners. Winter wheat 
is looking fairly well. m. a. m. 
Berks Co.. Pa. 
Wheat sells here at the station aud 
mills at $2.20 per bu.; rye, $1.50 to 
$1.60; oats. 70 to 75c: corn, shelled, 
$1.50; potatoes. $1.25 to $1.50, as to 
quality. Hay. mixed, per ton, $28. at barn ; 
delivered, $34 to $36. Eggs, 66c. Butter, 
62c per lb., scarce at that. Milk, per qt.,14c 
delivered. Pork, dressed. $18 to $20 per 
cwt. Beef, steers, 9% to 10c, live weight. 
No apples; a few carloads shipped out 
of orchard at $1.50 per bu. Farming is 
good. Wheat 20 to 25 bu. per acre: this 
is about the most important grain ; $2.20 
per bu. Corn is much grown for grain 
and roughage; during Fall aud Winter 
$1.50 per bu., shelled. The crop was not 
as good as years before. J. F. K. 
Snyder Co., Pa. 
On page 6 it is stated that the Fall has 
been so wet in the West that wheat and 
small grain could not be planted. Farm¬ 
ers here put in rye the last week in 
September, and it grew nicely to two 
inches high, and the extreme heat of two 
weeks in October, up to 90 degrees, killed 
it all, together with the dry weather. 1 
have just got up some rye, after waiting 
six weeks for a shower of rain to sprout 
the seed. My neighbor has 25 bushels of 
Black Eye marrowfat peas, which were 
to be planted Nov. 15, aud it is too dry 
as yet to sprout them in the ground. I 
have $400 worth of peas to put in. and 
am subsoiling a sandy loam to scatter 
phosphates to melt in the ground. The 
seedsmen arc having trouble with some 
farmers, who told them the seed was no 
good. It is the driest in the history of 
South Carolina. It looks like disastrous 
times ahead; negro labor used to be 75c 
per day, now getting $3.50, and some 
almost starving on the farms and won’t 
work. I do not think I will plant much 
in 1920. All September rye is dead, all 
cabbage plants killed by the dry, cold 
weather, and too dry to plnut seed again.
