Crops and Farm News 
I Very fine Fall weather. Farmers draw- 
jug cabbage and apples. Cabbage is $5 
per ton at the local kraut factories, 
picked Greenings, Maiden Blush. Graven- 
s t,.iu. $1 per 100. No cabbage shipped on 
cars . but good chance for some buyers 
who care to ship. Vinegar factory started 
taking in cider apples at 25c per 100 on 
October 1. Books as if evaporators do 
nrt t intend to run here. Not buying pota¬ 
toes here yet. Wheat is $2.40 per bu. 
Seckel pears. 2c per lb. E. s. N.

This is a general grain and fruit farm¬ 
ing section. Most of the larger farmers 
keep only from six to 12 cows, but large 
pocks of poultry and some hogs or sheep 
to feed in the apple orchards. Wheat 
and oats were a good crop this year, but 
it was very hard to gather the oats on 
account of rain. Barley turned out well, 
and corn is looking fine. Potatoes are a 
good crop also, and there are a lot of 
apples in this section this year, but evap¬ 
orators are only offering 40c per 100. de¬ 
livered. Barrels are very high and hard 
to got. Wheat is bringing $2.30 per bu.: 
oats. $1.30; hay. $80 to $31 per ton; 
milk, o^c qt. at creamery ; butter. 65c 
per lb.; eggs. 6Se for white and 50c for 
brown; poultry. 35c lb., live: honey. 85c 
lh.. Grade cows are selling for $75 to 
SI00. Buckwheat is a good crop and is 
just being cut. n. H. g. 
Cayuga Co., X. Y. 
Woods, fields and pastures are green. 
There are still tens of thousands of acres 
of woods here in our county. Some of 
the land is being leased for the timber, 
and almost all lias been leased for oil, 
although uo active prospecting has been 
done in otir county yet. Cotton is now 
opening, and picking has already begun. 
Many loads of the fleecy staple have been 
sold : it is pleasant to notice the big loads 
of cotton coming to market. Almost al¬ 
ways the women folks come along to help 
share the price, and all seem to go home 
happy. The tenant on om farm has 40 
acres planted to cotton this year; ordi¬ 
narily such land yields about $100 worth 
of cotton per acre. We get one-fourth 
net. for rent. All crops have beeu above 
the average with us this season. Corn 
was never better. Cotton, wheat and oats 
are good. MRS. L. Y. 
Cherokee Co., Okla. 
Farmers are receiving prices about as 
follows: Wheat. $2.50 bu.; corn. $1.50 
bu.; potatoes. 00c to $1 bu. Sweet corn 
at cannery is $20 per ton to those who 
contracted last Spring; others cannot sell 
at any price. Tomatoes at cannery are 
73c per bu. to those who contracted; 
others rotting in the field. Farmers are 
buying feeding steers cautiously at 8 to Oc 
pci- lb. Many lost heavily last season. 
Farming conditions are not very satis¬ 
factory. The prices on farm products 
have a decided downward tendency. Labor 
scarce and hard to get. _ Farmers cannot 
pay the price to attract it. Fertilizers are 
very high. A good many farms are being 
offered for sale. J. F. M.

In this section the grain crops are not 
increasing, very little grain being raised 
here at any time. Farmers here, with the 
good markets for produce, should not 
consider grain-growing a good proposition. 
On the other hand, for those situated 
where eggs and chickens had to be 
shipped to commission men, and where 
land was cheap, I should say that the 
smaller prices received could be offset 
n great deal by growing grain. In my 
own case I can do better by putting the 
time required growing grain into keeping 
more poultry, as I have an excellent mar¬ 
ket only two miles away. E. F. G. 
Providence Co., It. 'I. 
The crops that are mostly grown iu 
this county are coru, which is about 70 
per cent normal crop, selling at $2 : oats, 
it good crop, $1 ; wheat, about 50 per 
cent normal. $2; potatoes are a good 
mop, $1.50; butter. 60c; eggs, 50c; liens, 
Tie; hides. Sc; leather, $1.25; hay, $30; 
honey, about 70 per cent normal. 30c. 
l.nhor is very scarce, $2.50 per day and 
board. Plowiug about all done: farmers 
spreading lime: some are seeding. Cat¬ 
tle are looking fine. An abundance of 
pasture. a. g. r. 
Armstrong Co., Pa. 
Porn is looking good. Tobacco a fair 
crop for-^hose who had no rust; not half 
°f it taken in yet. Few buyers around, 
but none sold in the neighborhood. Po¬ 
tatoes from $1.50 to $2; wheat. $2.40; 
'“orn, about $1.80; milk, about $3.80. 
Wheat, averages about 20 bu. to the acre. 
Most of the farmers have done thrashing. 
' otatoes seem to run over the average in 
"<ir neighborhood. Oats a fair crop, but 
most of it was in the rain too long. None 
of our farmers sell oats. We had lots of 
rain in August. J. K. M.

The Exclusive Super-Six 
Motor Gives This Advantage 
From Me\n Who Do Not Own 
Hudsons Comes An Interesting Ex¬ 
pression on Super-Six Performance 
Many men who covet its abil¬ 
ities learned to admire Hudson 
from the viewpoint of the “man in 
the other car.” Perhaps you, too, 
have noted the characteristic all 
Hudsons reveal when fast going 
without exceeding the speed 
limits, is a factor. 
Alertness and immediate re¬ 
sponse to the throttle accounts 
for the way Hudsons take advan¬ 
tage of every driving opportunity. 
There is no motor labor. 
When Driver and Car 
Act as One 
You frequently hear Hudson 
owners speak of the way their 
cars answer as though they were 
a part of theirown impulse. Never 
a sense of the mechanical. All 
feeling that there is a motor and 
complicated mechanism is absent. 
No wonder Hudson owners are 
so partial to their cars. And no 
wonder other motorists are forced 
to recognize the Hudson quality. 
Pride of ownership to many 
means beauty of line and the 
qualities that excite admiration 
while the car is inactive. In those 
particulars theSuper-Sixin every 
type of design meets every wish. 
But it is pride of performance that 
excites the greatest praise for 
Hudson—whether it be in estab¬ 
lishing world records for speed, 
acceleration and mountain climb¬ 
ing, or in the constant uninter¬ 
rupted and therefore economical 
operation required in private 
service. 
Yet Hudson’s supremacy 
means no added complications, 
weight or size. It results from an 
exclusive Hudson invention, 
which added 72 % to the power of 
motors of its size, and increased 
efficiency by 80%. 
A Leadership That Has Stood 
for Five Years 
For five years that invention 
has kept Hudson foremost in per¬ 
formance. And sinceitsdiscovery 
and adoption Hudson has always 
been the largest selling fine car 
in the world. 
The unremitting study, experi¬ 
ment and development of years 
has made the present Hudson a 
finer car in many ways than those 
earlier Super-Sixes. No rival 
challenges its supremacy by 
official'proof. 
You will best assure delivery 
when you want it by speak¬ 
ing for your Hudson promptly.

Fertile Land at $15 to $30 an Acre 
— land similar to that which through many years has yielded from 20 
to 45 bushels of wheat to tho acre. Hundreds of farmers in Western 
Canada have raised crops in a single season worth more than the whole 
cost of their land. With such crops come prosperity, independence, good 
homes, and all the comforts and conveniences which make for happy living.
