Crops and Farm News 
Milk is the only product in this section 
that is sold by nearly every farmer. Every 
milk producer is a league member and 
league prices are received. A few far¬ 
mers raise considerable potatoes, but the 
late crop rotted badly this year. Apples 
were trumps this year. They are all 
marketed now except what was placed in 
cold storage. Prices ranged from 2%c to 
3J4 for tree-run fruit, delivered at pack¬ 
ing station. Grapes were a good crop 
and prices were good. Hay is selling 
loose for about $25 per ton in barn. 
Pressed hay of good quality about $30 
per ton. Straw dull sale and cheap, 
about $11 per ton baled. Baling costs 
from $4 upwards per ton, counting in 
wire.s and labor. Corn was a good crop, 
but most of this is put in silo, or fed at 
home to cattle, horses and chickens. The 
outlook for farmers is good to those who 
are fortunately situated as to help and 
size and kind of business. Many farmers 
do such a small business that they cannot 
afford help. Others growing ordinary 
crops on ordinary farms cannot afford 
help. Many others cannot secure help. 
It is not to he had. A few are curtail¬ 
ing their business. Many are disposing 
of their cows. Auctions galore, and farms 
are changing hands every day. H. D.

Peddlers are paying the following 
prices: Eggs, wholesale, 65c doz.; retail,

are Altoona prices. Our general farm¬ 
ing is a little of everything, such as hay, 
corn, oats, buckwheat, rye, wheat, pota¬ 
toes and a good bit of fruit and small 
truck. Most of. the people around here 
have small farms and market their own 
produce. There is not much dairying; 
everybody has.a small herd of cattle, and 
I only know of one farmer who keeps 
purebred cattle; the others look like a 
rainbow or Joseph’s coat, but everyone 
tries to get better stock by introducing 
new blood. A. W. C.

Oats. 65 to 70c. Corn here is usually 
raised only for silage, as seasons are too 
short for corn to mature. Our seasons 
here average 100 days between frosts. 
Some wheat (Winter) is raised, but not 
much. Hay. mixed Timothy and Alsike 
clover, from $30 to $32. baled, and de¬

Spring oats were below average; buck¬

good. Potatoes good, some dry rot show¬ 
ing after being dug. Butter, dairy, bring¬ 
ing good prices, now 74c lb. This is a

pay for a farm if he had to pay for the 
work of his wife and children. 
Third—Few women are strong enough 
to take care of their families and do 
enough extra to pay for a farm if the hus¬ 
band is a no-account man. 
Fourth—Two of the greatest needs of 
rural women and children are home eco¬ 
nomics in our rural schools and cash mar¬ 
kets for those farm products offered for 
sale by womeu and children. 
She says if the bankers would co-oper¬ 
ate with the farmers’ wives and daughters 
to create a better marketing system for 
their farm products, so that they, too, 
might have their own bank accounts, the 
bank deposits of the nation would increase 
millions of dollars. And almost every 
dollar of this money would go back, 
through the banks, into the farm homes 
and farm women would be healthier aud 
happier, aud men and children on the 
farm would be healthier aud happier also.
