Crops and Farm News 
The severe freezes in April just about 
wiped out all fruits in Southern Ohio. 
Even apples will be mighty scarce. At 
our own place here in Central Ohio we 
have some apples, and consider ourselves 
quite fortunate. The Home Beauty was 
not hurt, at all. and will give us a nice 
crop if no more freezes come along. Jon¬ 
athan has performed a wonderful stunt 
in coming on with a lot of late-develop¬ 
ing blossoms and setting quite a sprink¬ 
ling of fruit. The first and general bloom 
was killed outright. We have a few 
Stayman that got through the ordeal, 
likewise a few Grimes. Maiden Blush, 
Sweet Bough. Moyer and a few others 
are exceedingly well set with apples. 
Farther north in Ohio, where the blos¬ 
soms were not so far advanced, the pros¬ 
pects for apples are good. Peaches, 
however, are pretty generally cleaned 
out. unless it he quite close to Lake Erie.

The thirty-sixth annual meeting of 
the Holstein-Friesian Association of 
America will he held on the first Wed¬ 
nesday in June. 1921 (the first day of the 
month), at Syracuse. X. Y.*, in The Miz- 
pah, Montgomery and Jefferson Streets, 
at 10 o’clock a. in., for the election of 
officers and the transaction of any other 
business which may legally come before 
it. 
The State Division of Markets. Boston. 
Mass., issues a weekly circular quoting 
Boston retail prices actually collected 
from the various types of retail stores, 
including range of prices on fruit and 
vegetables, dairy, meat and fish products, 
indicating weekly demand for certain 
commodities, and what is now on the 
market. A paragraph is also devoted to 
brief market news items covering crop 
outlook, predicted shipments and food 
supply, ending with a new recipe in sea¬ 
son, or a practical, economical suggestion. 
The report is used quite extensively 
among owners of roadside markets and 
others interested in the selling of farm 
products, as well as retailers and con¬ 
sumers living in and around Boston. This 
report is available at the Massachusetts 
Department of Agriculture, and all per¬ 
sons desiring it are asked to send name 
and address and 50 cents to cover cost of 
postage for one year to the Division of 
Markets. 136 State House, Boston, Mass. 
A special effort, is being made to in¬ 
crease the membership of the New York 
State Breeders’ Association. This old 
and useful organization deserves support 
from all breeders. It was organized in 
1887, “to encourage and stimulate im¬ 
provement in all varieties of purebred 
live stock.” Its annual meetings, held in 
December, lasting three or four days, at 
which is usually heard the best talent 
in the country on heredity and kindred 
subjects, have been a source of inspira¬ 
tion and profit to many of the State’s 
best breeders. At the last annual meet¬ 
ing in Syracuse provision was made for 
life membership. The president, Harry 
S. Gail, is sending out a circular letter to 
all those breeders of purebred live stock 
listed by the State Department of Agri¬ 
culture, inviting them to become mem¬ 
bers. Any breeder who does not happen 
to be on this list can get in communica¬ 
tion with the organization by writing to 
the secretary. Albert E. Brown, Agricul¬ 
tural Hall, Albany, N. Y.

son. “I tried to climb a tree in my motor
