The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Emigration from West to East \ 
I have read your Indiana correspond¬ 
ent’s inquiry about Eastern farms, and a 
reply by a Genesee County farmer. I 
think conditions must be worse there than 
here in the southern tier of counties of 
this State, for the majority of the real 
estate agents charge but 5 per cent for 
selling. Conditions are certainly more 
favorable for a working farmer in this 
section than in the West. All along the 
southern part of this State are many 
cities and large towns where there are ex¬ 
tensive factories, employing many people 
at a high wage scale, and they are liberal 
spenders and make a splendid market for 
everything in the provision line that the 
farmer has to sell. By putting a small 
advertisement in the daily papers the 
farmer who lives near these towns can 
get the 100-eent dollar for what he may 
have to sell. Nearly all these places have 
a public city market which is open three 
days each week, where many farmers sell 
goods. 
This is a hilly country, but there are 
but few of these hill farms but what a 
binder can be worked on without diffi¬ 
culty, and the roads leading up into these 
hills are some of the best in the county. 
These hill farms are as productive as the 
valley farms, taken as a whole, and can 
be bought for much less per acre. Good 
farms, with good buildings and a lot of 
fruit, can be bought at moderate prices 
and on easy terms, which, in combination 
with these city markets, makes it an easy 
matter to be assured of soon paying up 
on a farm if the buyer is willing to work. 
The trouble with most of the bac-k-to- 
the-landers has been the eight-hour day. 
and the expectatibn of sitting on the 
porch and seeing things grow. The farm¬ 
er who gets a long way back from these 
towns and has to depend on the produce 
dealers for his market is working along 
rather hard lines. Some of them have a 
long haul to the shipping station, and 
have sold their hay for $15 per ton; pota¬ 
toes, 60c per bu.; apples, 50c per bu.; 
eggs, 35c per doz.; butter, 42c per lb. 
Where they can take advantage of these 
city markets they get $20 for hay, $1 to 
$1.25 for potatoes, $1 to $1.50 for apples; 
e«gs have sold as high as 70c per dozen; 
now are 50c. Dairy butter sells readily 
at from 55 to 59c per lb. 
There are some sections in this State 
where apples are grown extensively, and 
1 am told by men who were, in one of 
those counties in the Fall that there were 
many orchards where the apples lie rol¬ 
ling on the ground because the prices 
offered would not pay the cost of har¬ 
vesting. , , 
My advice to your Indiana correspoud- 
(mi is to come East, prepared to stay for 
some time, and be sure you have found 
t lie right location before buying. 1 was 
talking with a man a short time ago who 
came into this section from Missouri. He 
rented a farm for a year, then bought a 
farm on one of these hills about three 
miles from town. He paid around $o() 
per acre for it. He said he could raise as 
good crops on it as he had where he came 
from on land that sold for more than 
three times the price he paid for it, and 
lie and his family were more than pleased 
with the change. There seems to be quite 
an emigration from the West towards the 
Fast I have just read where 30 families 
from' Northwest Canada had bought 
farms in one of the interior counties of 
this State, and I know where five families 
from the West have bought some of these 
hill farms. A - H * pkince.

Heavy Trucks on Country Roads 
I read sometime ago that you could not 
understand why the Master of New 
Hampshire State Grange should oppose 
using their State roads for freight traffic. 
We live very near the State road ''here 
trucks carry all the way from 10 to 20 
tons. I think that the loads of paper 
from the mills at Fitchburg will fill a 
medium-size freight car, possibly one of 
the largest size. They are a teinble 
nuisance to auto travel when it is as 
heavy as here last Spring, a truck with 
two 'large steel v-girders, possibly more 
than 60 ft. long, got stalled near the top 
of a long hill on our cement road. Other 
trucks backed the whole length of the 
hill for fear the brakes on that tiucK 
might not hold. When our chief of po¬ 
lice asked for the driver’s permit to carry 
them, he had none. Yet we have a State 
law that things over 30 ft. long cannot 
be carried on a single tiuc-k, but the 5 
must be a trailer, or two trucks.
