Culti-Pack Wheat to Prevent Winter Killing 
it will not stick badly put the Culti-Packer 
on. your winter wheat. 
Freezing and thawing heaves the soil in your 
wheat field uprooting the young plants, open¬ 
ing up cracks in which the roots are broken 
off, dry out and die. 
The plant is either entirely killed or fails to 
develop its full yield. 
This loss of wheat amounting to millions of 
bushels per year can be largely prevented by 
timely use of the Culti-Facker. 
This spring just as soon as the soil dries so 
The peculiar shape of the wheels presses down 
the heaved soil, fills the cracks about roots 
with moist earth, mulches the surface and 
restores the whole field to good growing 
condition. 
Nebraska Experiment Station tried this for 
four years and obtained an average increase of 
five bushels per acre from the treatment.

Crops and Farm News 
Potatoes $3, turnips $1.75, onions $3.50, 
apples $2.50, eggs 35c, hay $35 per ton. 
New Haven Co., Conn. h. g. g. 
Milk. $3.67 per cwt., for 3.7, butter 
00c per lb., potatoes $2 per bu., apples 
$2 per bu., buckwheat $3 per 100 lbs., 
oats $1 per bu., bay $25 to $30. eggs 55c. 
! This is a dairy section. The farmers 
don’t have much grain to sell, but sell 
some bay and lots of potatoes. Grain 
is scarce here; most farmers have to buy. 
Tioga Co., Ta c. or. 
We are having a very cold Winter in 
Franklin County with lots of snow. 
Farmers have finished filling their ice¬ 
houses, cows are coming fresh, there is 
a decided tendency for much lower prices 
for milk the coming months. Butter 68c, 
eggs 50c, hay $30 a ton, potatoes $2 per 
bu. Dairy cows sell for $00 to $125 a 
bead. H.T. J. 
Franklin Co., N. Y. 
Snow is not very deep but there is a 
good blanket that should insure a bay 
I crop. There are some good farms here 
’ with good buildings and some where the 
buildings are gone idle in this town, 
there are so few good renters here. Farms 
on improved roads in good location sell 
well. Thirty years ago we piled best 
hard timber into big heaps to burn near 
here. Now such timber is worth $1.50 
or more per cord, 14-incli wood standing, 
$3 to $4 per cord. This is a dairy sec¬ 
tion. Milk goes to shipping station now 
hut in Summer cheese is made back from 
the railroad. Potatoes do well, aud 
would pay if we had faith and persistence 
in planting. The best rule is to plant 
heavily when seed is cheap and light 
when it is dear and use plenty of phos¬ 
phate. Milk plants to make milk powder 
are being built at big expense along here, 
one in Lewis County paid 76 per cent on 
the stock the first year—some profiteer¬ 
ing! The farmers did not get that, but 
they pay for these plants, for these peo¬ 
ple are in a position to bold the pocket- 
book. One of my neighbors paid $25 for 
feed for four farrow cows, got back $10, 
then stopped the grain, but lie does not 
need to farm it. He gets $4 a day to 
loaf on the road for the town. w. w. s.

1 ine W inter, cold but steady : ground 
has been frozen since about Dec. 1. Late- 
planted wheat looks good, earlv planting 
has some fly. More public sales than 
have ever been known. A number of 
auctioneers report having more than SO 
sales each this Winter. Cows selling high, 
good grade milch cows bringing up to $300 
each. Horses cheap. Hay selling at from 
•825 to $30 per ton in the barn. Corn, 
81.40 per bu.; oats, S“c. Chickens on 
the^farm, 32c; eggs. 58c, and butter. 65 
to 70c. Calves, any price you have a mind 
lo ask. Truck drivers from Gary keep 
the country stripped of farm produce 
Farm hands asking from $i00 to $800 pe^* 
year, with bouse, fuel, meat, milk and 
chicken feed. Our county has nearly 600 
miles of stone road. Price of farm land 
lias nearly doubled in the last two years. 
Farm Bureau has over 800 members, and 
there are about 1,600 farmers in the coun¬ 
ty. j. v. p. 
Lake Co., Ind. 
In this part of Ohio. Highland County, 
we have bad an unusual Winter. We 
have bad very little snow aud that was 
in December mostly, while we have had 
numerous sleet and ice storms during 
January and February. The damage to 
trees has not been so great, because the 
ice would melt somewhat between storms. 
It would sleet one day. be fair for a day 
or so. and then turn in and sleet again. 
Wheat looks bad just now and it will be 
several weeks before we can tell the 
extent of the damage. It is injured bv fly 
and winter-killing, and no doubt a large 
acreage will be plowed up. Farms are 
selling at high prices, but not so high 
as in the West, or even in the tobacco sec¬ 
tion south of us. Prices of farm products 
are lower. Hogs. $12 to $13; cattle. $8 
to $11 per cwt.; butter fat 56c; eggs 40c; 
corn is $1.50 per bu. and too high to feed. 
The moving and public sale season is 
starting now. Farmers are rather un¬ 
certain as to the future, aud as a forlorn 
hope are organizing. w. E. D. 
Hillsboro, Ohio. 
S Most of the farmers in this section sell 
their products either iu Philadelphia or 
Trenton, either hauling themselves or 
sending by truck. Ilay. 81.75 per 100 lbs. 
in Philadelphia ; wheat. $2.20 per bu. in 
Newtown: corn. $1.50; potatoes. $3 in 
Philadelphia (mostly retailed). Dressed 
t pork, 18 to 20c at the farm ; eggs. SO to 
00c doz. in Philadelphia. 75c at home. 
Poultry, dressed, 45c in Philadelphia ; but¬ 
ter. 85c lb. in Philadelphia. This sec¬ 
tion is close to good markets and I think 
the farmers, as a rule, get good prices for 
their products. The local paper is full of 
farm sales, but that is always the case 
this time of year: it is no trouble to soli 
farms in this section and unless one is an 
owner he is very apt to have to move in 
the Spring. The worst thing iu this sec¬ 
tion is the lieli» question. We are only 
10 miles from Bristol aud the shipyards 
get all the men. H. w. T.
