I T IS our conviction that the New Overland 
provides comfortable, reliable, trouble-free 
Satisfactory motoring at the lowest cost for which 
such motoring can be had. 
The Triplex Springs (Patented) absorb shock 
and side-sway. The Overland motor returns 
twenty-five miles and more to the gallon of gaso¬ 
line. Timken and New Departure bearings are 
liberally used in front and rear axles. And the 
good looks of the New Overland commend it 
everywhere. The hood is higher. The lines are 
longer. The seats are lower. 
Drive the New Overland and realize the differ¬ 
ence.

Dairymen Standing Firm 
Farm News From New Jersey and Pennsylvania 
A lthough final figures were not 
available by the fourth week in 
February, it appears that the members 
of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association in northern Jersey and 
eastern Pennsylvanian have for the 
most part held firm to the cooperative 
pooling plan of their association. At 
the close of the third week in February 
about eighty dairy withdrawals were 
reported from Sussex,- Warren, and 
Hunterdon Counties in New Jersey and 
the two adjacent counties across the 
Delaware River in Pennsylvania. 
The canning crops men of' southern 
and central New Jersey are still un¬ 
decided on their method for selling this 
season’s crops. The tomato men, par¬ 
ticularly, are undecided whether to sell 
on the open market or to sign contracts. 
It is repoi’ted that some canners have 
offered a flat contract price of $15 per 
ton for tomatoes. 
Marketing Officials Meet 
Representatives from New York, 
Pennsylvania, West Vir^nia, Mary¬ 
land, and Virginia gathered with the 
staff of the New Jersey State Bureau 
of Markets for the Middle Atlantic Sec¬ 
tional Conference of the National Asso¬ 
ciation of State Marketing Officials at 
Trenton, N. J., February 27 and 28. 
An interesting program was followed 
by the conference, in which the various 
States reported their marketing prob¬ 
lems on fruit, vegetables, live stock, 
and farm products. 
Considerable interest centered on the 
discussion pf market reporting. Rep¬ 
resentatives of New Jersey’s Women’s 
Clubs expressed their appreciation of 
retail prices reported by the New Jersey 
State Bureau of Markets and their 
satisfaction with the method of report¬ 
ing which has been built up over a 
four-year period. On the other hand, 
Pennsylvania reported unsatisfactory 
results with its retail-price reporting 
plan, upon which the Pennsylvania State 
Bureau has been working for three 
years. It was agreed that retail price 
reports served as an inspiration and 
educational help for consumers and 
women’s organizations, and as such 
were highly desirable despite the tech¬ 
nical errors incident to the service. 
Jersey Legislature Has Full Calendar 
By the last week in February the 
New Jersey Legislature had not finally 
acted upon any of the variety of farm, 
measures before it, such as the bill for 
a new cooperative law, which has passed 
both the Senate and Assembly and is 
back in those bodies for further amend¬ 
ment. The date for adjournment of 
the Legislature was previously set for 
March 15. With a crowded calendar, 
however, and too much important busi¬ 
ness to be completed during the first 
two weeks of March, it is expected that 
the adjournment date will be postponed. 
Several bills of considerable impor¬ 
tance to farmers are now pending in 
the Senate other than those previously 
reported in these columns during the 
last six weeks. One of the measures 
is an amendment to the Insurance Law, 
which would permit insurance com¬ 
panies, to be organized by farmers, so 
that the company could combine differ¬ 
ent kinds of insurance, such as lia¬ 
bility, labor, and accident insurance. 
At this date the chances are consid¬ 
ered to be good for its passage. An¬ 
other bill would make it a misdemeanor 
to influence a member of a cooperative 
association to break his marketing con¬ 
tract or agreement. It would also make 
it a misdemeanor for him to give false 
statements on the finances or business 
of cooperative associations. 
Considerable interest has centered in 
another bill pending in the Senate 
which would give back to the various 
counties. State money which was re¬ 
ceived from the school tax, the railroad 
tax, and the school fund. This would 
be on the basis of the teachers em¬ 
ployed and the days’ attendance of all 
the pupils in the school. At the pres¬ 
ent time the distribution of school 
money is on the basis of ratables. An¬ 
other act would require the financial 
officers of New Jersey townships to 
publish, as prescribed by law, a true 
statement of the financial condition of 
the township committee. The Teach¬ 
ers’ Tenure of Office repeal, previously 
reported, has been superseded by an 
amendment which would give five years 
instead of three years as the period of 
teaching before the Tenure of Office 
provision becomes effective, — W H

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA NOTES 
J. N. GLOVRR 
The directors of the Union County 
the directors of 
the Milton Fair, have formed a circuit 
beginning with the Altoona Fair en 
August 14, the Lewistown Fair on 
August 21, Milton on August 28, and 
Dniion County on September 4, making 
four continuous weeks in this section 
of the State. 
Several carloads of Michigan certi¬ 
fied seed potatoes will be sold' to grow¬ 
ers in Union County through some club 
or orpnization. A Poland China Hog 
Club has been organized at Mifflinburg, 
and clubs of other breeds are likely to 
be organized this year. It is a mis¬ 
take to have clubs of many breeds in 
a small county when one or two breeds 
cmly should be boosted, for in “union 
there is strength.” This same mistake 
has been made in this State of trying 
many breeds of cows for 
milk, instead of agreeing on one or two 
good breeds, like Holstein, Brown 
Swiss, Guernsey, or Aryshire, and 
breeding only these for milk. 
Wheat has been covered with snow 
for a few weeks, which is a great pro¬ 
tection to it, since it made a very 
scanty growth for winter on account 
of dry weather. Recent rains and melt¬ 
ing snows have helped the water situ¬ 
ation. 
More carloads of coal are being 
shipped in to relieve the fuel condi¬ 
tion, which is getting serious. 
Farm work is at a standstill, except 
a few men who are hauling home wood 
for fuel or are hauling manure to 
cornfields. 
With advance in the prices for corn 
and wheat, farmers are feeling that 
their efforts last year in growing grain 
will bring something of a labor income. 
Tobacco growing in Snyder County will 
likely increase next year, as they find 
they can grow a heavy crop of tobacco 
along the river, making them more and 
more money than other crops. 
Public sales have begun already, and 
stock is bringing good prices, except 
horses, which will sell better later when 
needed. 
Wheat is moving at $1.35 now and 
corn at 70 cents in ear, and there is a 
fair demand for both grains at these 
prices, though some farmers are hold¬ 
ing for $1.50 for wheat and 75 cents 
for corn, as both grains cost the latter 
prices to grow them. 
There are more farms for rent in 
Buffalo Valley this time of the year 
than ever has been known to exist at 
any time in its history.
