Crops and Farm News 
Farmers are receiving prices about as 
follows, delivered in Philadelphia: Po¬ 
tatoes, from $1.15 to $1.50 per bu.; ap¬ 
ples, from $2.50 to $6 per bbl.; turnips, 
from 75c to $1 per %-bu. basket; chick¬ 
ens, from 40 to 50e per lb., dressed; 
ducks the same. Eggs, S5c to $1 per doz. 
Butter, 75c to 78c per lb., retail. Milk, 
8 to 9c per qt. Corn (new), about 90c 
per bu. Hay, from $25 to $28 per ton. 
Most of the farm produce from this sec¬ 
tion is taken to Philadelphia by auto 
truck. A great many farmers have their 
own trucks and do their own hauling. A 
large percentage of the hay is taken to 
Philadelphia loose, by truck. Farmers 
are discouraged over low prices. Potatoes 
are scarcely bringing more than cost. I 
do not know what effect low prices will 
have 'on the coming season’s planting, hut 
look for a reduction in the acreage of 
cultivated crops. > Quite a number of 
farms in this section have recently been 
bought by wealthy men from Philadelphia. 
Labor is more plentiful, but largelv in¬ 
efficient. f. b! c.

We are having a wonderfully mild Win¬ 
ter here so far. and the chickens are get¬ 
ting along with the eggs. Feed, of course, 
is down considerably, hut the high freight 
charges keep it still too high. Poultry 
meat scraps do not seem to come down at 
all. although beef lias dropped a lot lately. 
The price of meat scraps f. o. b. Camden, 
N. .T., is $6 per cwt., 55 per cent.

Farmers receive here at railroad by the 
.load the following: Potatoes, 65c per bu.; 
wheat at mill. $1.75 per bu.; corn. 75c; 
oats. 60c; eggs at store. 74c per doz.; 
butter at store. 60c per lb., prints; chick¬ 
ens, 26c per lb.; lard. 14c.; apples at 
market on street, $1.50 per bu. Farm 
conditions are poor: prices at public sales 
ore very much lower on machinery and 
live stock than last year at this time. 
Farmers are holding potatoes for an ad 
vance; very few shipments just now. The 
outlook if not brigli*- for this section, as 
mills are working half time, and a good 
many are shut down (cement mills and 
auto truck factories, etc.). If there is no 
work there is not any money, so sales w’’l! 
be slow and low. f. w. b. 
Lehigh Co., Ta. 
Most all farmers sell direct to consum¬ 
ers. as there are good markets all around. 
Poultry, live, 85c per lb.; turkeys, 75 to 
80c. dressed; hogs, wholesale to butchers, 
16c. dressed. Cows are low, from $85 to 
$75, at sales. Potatoes, $2; hand-picked 
apples. $2; cider. $16 to $20 per bbl.; 
hay, $85 to $40 per ton ; oats. 65 to 70c 
per l)u.; wheat, $1.75 (very little sold) ; 
corn, none sold ; eggs, fresh laid, $1; but¬ 
ter, 65 to 80c to private customers; cab¬ 
bage sold in December at l 1 /, to 2c per 
lb; turnips, 75c per bu; rutabagas. $1 
per bu. Almost all vegetables are cheaper 
now. Potatoes, shipped, sell from stores 
at $1.40 to $1.50 per bu. at present, hut 
prices were all good in Fall. F. j. F. 
Beaver Co., Pa. 
The Winter so far this year has been 
rather mild; decidedly so compared with 
last year. No zero weather yet. Have 
had plenty of rains the past month and 
there seems to be plenty of water for all 
farmers now. Practically no snow, only 
a few inches at a time, and it has not 
stayed on long. Feed prices are much 
lower than formerly. Oats are now 70c 
per bu.; wheat about $1.80 to $2; buck¬ 
wheat $2.10 per 100; ear corn being 
shipped in at 55c and 50c per bu.; shelled 
corn $1 per bu.; bran, $2.50 per cwt.; 
cottonseed meal $2.75 to $8 per cwt.; 
oil meal, $3.25 per cwt. Hay stays up 
pretty well, and sells at from‘$15 to $20 
per ton in the mows, and about $23 
baled. Straw is not very plenty and 
rather high, running about $10 per ton. 
Eggs have been 80c all Winter, hut now 
are from 70 to 75c. Butter 55e. Hogs 
are 13c and 14c dressed and young pigs 
are about $8 to $10 per pair. Cows are 
not very ready sale and sell rather cheap. 
Horses are really selling well at sales, 
especially good ones. Hides of all kinds 
are very low, with little sale for them at 
all. Most farmers think hides should 
be fair in price compared with prices of 
shoes and other leather goods which we 
have to buy. Poultry is pretty well sold 
off during the holiday season and has 
been Selling around 18c per lb. for chicken. 
Farmers who fed steers last season and 
still have them this season are sick of 
the business, and there will be many of 
them slow to try it again. Potatoes' are 
selling around $1.50 per bu., and only a 
few being sold at this season. P. M.
