EMERSON HOUGH 
TN the recent death of Emerson 
Houg-h, America lost one of the few 
remaining- writers who was able to 
picture from first hand experience pio¬ 
neer life and conditions as they really 
were. He did this so well that his 
historical stories, “The Mississippi Bub¬ 
ble,” “The Covered Wagon” and “North 
of 36” are read eagerly by millions of 
people. His story “The Covered 
Wagon,” now I'unning in motion pic¬ 
ture form in New York, fills the thea¬ 
ter to capacity every night. Hough’s 
work is good because he knew per¬ 
sonally many of the men who settled 
thes great West and helped to give us 
America as it is to-day. Although it 
is not so long in years since the West 
was an unknown country, civilization 
has traveled so fast that the old Texas 
cattle trails, the emigrant covered 
wagon with the inevitable plow 
strapped on behind, the buffalo, the 
Indians and the cowboys are fast be¬ 
coming dim and almost forgotten tra¬ 
ditions. 
It is then with great regret that 
we view the passing of Emerson Hough 
who was able to entertain and instruct 
millions by bringing back to us so 
vividly accurate pictures of a breed of 
men who made the romantic history 
of another day.—The Editors. 
S TRAWBERRY growers throughout 
Central and Southern New Jersey 
are watching the sugar market more 
closely than crop prospects, in view of 
a generous crop of berries in sight 
and of the widely discussed consumers’ 
boycotts against high prices for sugar. 
Rhubarb which is now being cut in 
quantity has already felt the effect of 
the consumer reaction to sugar prices. 
Peaches which will begin to go upon 
the markets from this State in early 
July will also feel the effects unless the 
sugar situation clears up meanwhile. 
Publicity and ad¬ 
vertising to show 
that such food ~~ 
products as 
strawberries, 
rhubarb and 
peaches can be 
used without 
large quantities 
of sugar are 
already being dis¬ 
cussed b y the 
growers. 
The Federal 
quarantine o n 
the Japanese 
beetle, affecting 
the Burlington 
a'nd Camden 
County areas of 
New Jersey and 
territory along 
the D e 1 a w a r e 
River in Eastern 
Pennsylvania, 
has now been 
modified so that 
products for im¬ 
mediate consump¬ 
tion from the 
farms in this 
section will have 
free movement 
into the Philadel¬ 
phia area. This 
zoning system 
was provided to 
meet the need of 
farmers local to - 
Philadelphia for 
an easier distri¬ 
bution for their crops. The new plan 
allows the movement of locally pro¬ 
duced food products, but prevents the 
spread of the beetle to new areas by 
the exportation of farm products to 
points outside of the free area only 
under rigid inspection.

The Agricultural Contest Committee 
of Somerset County, N. J., has enrolled 
a large number of boys and girls in the 
contests which began in the county on 
May 1. The contest club work centers 
around the raising of calves, corn, 
chickens and vegetables and home 
economics. 
Dr. W. H. Whiton is Chairman of 
the Committee working closely with 
H. C. Krebs, Superintendent of Schools, 
the Y. M. C. A., and the women’s 
clubs of the county. The contest 
work is supported entirely on pri¬ 
vate funds. Even the county Hol¬ 
stein Association, the Granges and the 
New Jersey Guernsey Breeders’ Asso¬ 
ciation actively support the club work.

Following the very successful bee¬ 
keepers’ courses at the New Jersey 
State College of Agriculture in Febru¬ 
ary and March, a second unit in these 
short courses is announced for the 
week of June 4 to 9. The courses are 
practical rather than theoretical and 
the instruction and laboratory work 
will be held in the apiary on the College 
Farm. 
Those attending the courses learn 
from the experts at the college about 
the control of swarming, the hand¬ 
ling of bees and summer manage¬ 
ment, which are topics uppermost in 
the minds of beekeepers in early June.

Although many cannery tomato 
growers are sitting tight and waiting 
further development on the cannery 
situation in Southwestern New Jersey, 
reports of $15 per ton on the farm or 
$18 delivered at the factory are heard 
as contract prices this year. Some 
growers claim to have made contracts 
around these figures although many 
are insistent for a quotation of at 
least $20 at the factory.—W. H.

PENNSYLVANIA GETS BEHIND 
STANDARD HAY GRADES 
The move for standardization of 
market hay grades which has been 
advocated in a number of Eastern States 
is rapidly gaining ground in Penn¬ 
sylvania, which markets outside of the 
State several thousand cars of which 
the New York 
City market alone 
absorbs more 
than 6,000. A 
recent investiga¬ 
tion by the State 
shows that much 
of this market 
hay is graded low 
because it . con¬ 
tains foreign 
material and an 
excessive amount 
of brown leaf 
surface. More 
careful grading 
which would 
bring more of the 
hay into the best 
grade, would not 
only increase the 
net return to the 
farmer, but it 
would relieve 
somew'hat the 
surplus in second, 
third, and fourth 
grades which 
make up the bulk 
of hay offered. 
The U. S. 
standard hay 
grades as adopted 
on the New York 
market are being 
very generally 
advocated and 
the following re- 
_1. quirement for U. 
S. No. 1 timothy 
is being called to 
the attention of Pennsylvania growers: 
“Shall be cut not later than when in 
full bloom and may contain not more 
than 4 per cent of brown leaf surface, 
2 per cent of bi’own or bleached heads 
and 5 per cent of bleached or off-colored 
stems. To be designated as Choice, 
No. 1 timothy, must have not more than 
5 per cent brown leaf surface and no 
brown, bleached or discolored heads 
.or stems.” 
Change in State Dog Law 
Following an amendment to the 
Pennsylvania dog law at the current 
session of the State Legislature, the 
duty of appraisal of damage done by 
dogs goes back to local officials instead 
of resting in the personnel of the 
State Bureau of Animal Industry. 
Adjustment is now being made through¬ 
out the State in accord with these new 
provisions. If faithfully carried out 
the changes should be beneficial since 
the Bureau officials can confine them¬ 
selves to the administration of the law 
and to the tightening up of loose en¬ 
forcement in important counties. 
Despite the existence of the dog law 
the number of the flocks in Penn¬ 
sylvania has shown a decline within 
the last year and this in spite of the 
fact that prices of sheep and wool are 
considerably better than a year ago. 
Assistance is being given to local or¬ 
ganizations and to live stock and 
poultry owners in protecting property 
against attacks of dogs. 
More Steers Fed this Year 
Steer feeding has been on the up¬ 
grade in Pennsylvania during the last 
year and data just available shows 
that 2 per cent more of the farmers of 
the State fattened steers this last 
winter, than in the previous season. 
Lancaster County comes first where 
over 50 per cent • of the farmers fed 
steers this y^ar. The counties of Adams, 
Perry, York and Dauphin have steers 
on a large per cent of farms; the 
State average shows that 7 per cent 
of the farmers are feeding steers.—

UNADILLA 
SILOS 
Easy to Use 
A Silo is in use twice daily 
for 6 or 7 months. Conveni¬ 
ence and labor and time 
saving is important. 
In a Unadilla, silage is 
shoved out at the door 
level. Gravity carries it 
“like water over a dam”. 
The air and water-tight 
doors cannot stick. There 
is, therefore, no pitching 
of tons of silage overhead. 
The door fasteners form a 
permanent safety 
ladder — conveni¬ 
ent, secure.
