News From the Farmers 
Of New Jersey and Pennsylvania 
A new rate of membership dues has 
been adopted by the New Jersey 
State Holstein-Freisian Association, 
according to Secretary W. W. Wetmore 
of New Brunswick, N. J. Instead of 
a charge of $1 per cow per year a flat 
rate has been fixed of $10 for members 
having 20 Holsteins or less and $15 for 
those having over 20 cows. The new 
rate includes the $3 dues in the local 
association. The dairymen joining the 
State. Association thus automatically 
become members of the county organi¬ 
zation with paid-up dues in the County 
Association. 
The Burlington County Holstein- 
Freisian Association will meet at 
Mount Holly, N. J., on May 26, when 
the Executive Committee will present 
its program of work for the year to the 
membership. At a recent meeting the 
following officers were elected: Presi¬ 
dent, A. R. Jackson of Columbus; vice- 
president, C. H. Atkinson of Wrights- 
town; secretary-treasurer, Harvey 
Davis of Jobstown; Directors, Thomas 
Gauntt, Ernest Phillips, Frank Bay- 
croft and Harry Davis, all of Jobstown, 
and Frank S. Banks of Medford. 
^ 
The Belle Mead Bull Association 
held its first annual sale of Holsteins 
on the farm of J. V. D. Bergen, on 
May 17. Twelve consignors were 
listed among the Holstein owners. The 
annual sale of W. R. Spann of Morris¬ 
town, N. J., will be held on May 31, at 
which time imported Jersey cattle will 
be ofltered. 
Cooperation Pays Cannery Growers 
The Six-County Tomato Growers’ 
Association formed last fall by cannery 
growers in Mercer, Burlington, Camden, 
Gloucesteu, Cumberland and Cape May 
counties has made possible contracts of 
tomato growers with cannery men at 
$20 a ton, this price to hold for the 
entire season. Previous to the activi¬ 
ties of the cannery growers the factor¬ 
ies offered only $16 to $18 per ton de¬ 
livered at the factories and $13 deliver¬ 
ed at stations for shipping by freight. 
A large acreage of tomatoes is being 
set by growers in these counties, but 
considerably smaller than the acreage 
of previous years. The feeling is gen¬ 
eral that even at $20 a ton the growers 
will no more than make up for high 
labor costs this season. 
Hon. Emmor Roberts, State Senator 
from Burlington County, has been 
elected a director in the New York- 
New Jersey Joint Stock Land Bank, 
which has headquarters in Newark. 
Senator Roberts is a large and success¬ 
ful farmer. President of the New Jersey 
State Horticultural Society, and Direc¬ 
tor in the Moorestown Trust Company. 
The Land Bank now has among its 
directors a representative from practi¬ 
cally all of the leading farm organiza¬ 
tions in New Jersey.—W. H. B. 
NEW JERSEY COUNTY NOTES 
Somerset Co.—The labor situation 
has become so difficult that a great 
many farms will be idle or only partly 
cultivated. With common labor receiv¬ 
ing from 45 to 80 cents an hour it is im¬ 
possible to attempt extensive farm 
operations. Many farmers formerly 
employing several men have cut down 
to what they can do themselves. Farm 
products are in good demand, bringing 
fair prices, but costs are not in pro¬ 
portion to prices. The severe fires that 
swept over parts of New Jersey this 
spring were extinguished by heavy 
rains. Thousands of acres of woodland 
and cultivated fields have been burnt 
over through the careless starting of 
brush fires. 
There have been many orchards 
planted this year notwithstanding the 
constantly increasing cost of labor and 
maintenance. After several years, 
absence, tent caterpillars are unusually 
numerous this year. Poultrymen are 
complaining of poor hatches.—G. E. 
Schwartz. 
Warren Co.—Spring has been un¬ 
usually cold. The grass is very short, 
wheat looks fair, corn coming'up slowly 
and potatoes just breaking through. 
Little chicks are not as plentiful as 
last year, poultrymen report hatches of 
about 75 per cent normal. Fruit trees 
ai*e full of blossoms. Strawberry beds 
looking good, well blossomed out.— 
Mrs. j. R. 
PENNSYLVANIA COUNTY NOTES 
Cumberland Co.—We are having a 
very backward and cold spring in this 
county. Not much corn has been plant¬ 
ed so far and there is much plowing to 
be done. The season is almost a month 
late, compared to other years and con¬ 
sequently farmers will have to feed a 
month longer than usual. We had a 
light fall of snow on the night of May 
8. The month of April and early May 
was quite dry, but we have been getting 
some nice rains lately. Prospects are 
bright for fruit of all kinds. Very little 
damage done so far. Wheat and grass 
are very short. Not much stock being 
sold now. Sales have been well attend- 
and fair prices realized.—J. B. K. 
Crawford Co.—Oats are out, all sown, 
ground in fine condition. Some corn 
ground plowed. Wheat and grass need 
rain. Up to the second week in May 
it was unusually dry for this time of 
the year. Eggs 23 to 27 cents, butter 
45 to 50 cents, potatoes 70 cents a 
bushel at the car. Roads are good 
Work has begun on State road. Farm 
help very scarce.—J. F. S. 
Tioga Co.—Spring very backward. 
Farmers obliged to feed stock later in 
the season than usual. Early sown oats 
are up and look fine. As a rule cows 
are in poor flesh. Butter 50 cents, po¬ 
tatoes $1.25 a bushel. Many farmers 
are out of hay. We have had hard 
frost up to May 15.—W. C. G. 
PENN STATE RECEIVES GIFT OF 
CLYDESDALE MARES 
J. N. Conyngham owner of Hayfield 
Farms, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,' recently 
presented the Department of Animal 
Husbandry of the Pennsylvania State 
College with five Clydesdale mares to 
be used as a foundation for Clydesdale 
horses at the college. This donation 
includes two imported mares and three 
bred And raised at Hayfield Farms. 
The two imported mares are Rosebud 
of Warylip, bred by George Wilson of 
Warylip, Banff, Scotland, and Eva 
McGregor, bred by Alexander Wright 
of Upper Keith, Deskford, Cullen 
Banffshire, Scotland. 
The home bred mares consist of two 
four-year olds. Diamond Queen and 
Hayfield Blossom, and one three-year 
old. Heather Blossom, all sired by Gold¬ 
en Knight. Two of these mares are 
bred to Langwater Fashion and due to 
foal this spring, while the other three 
mares were bred before they were 
shipped. 
Mr. Conyngham has also loaned the 
College the two-year old stallion, Hay¬ 
field Barre.— W. S. Tomhave. 
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA NOTES 
J. N. GLOVER 
There are still some oats to be seeded 
in this section. Considerable corn has 
been planted. The weather was very 
dry until May 8, when we had some 
good showers followed by snow on the 
9th. It was accompanied by a cold 
wave that threatened fruit blossoms. 
Since these showers the soil is in good 
condition for plowing and planting, 
which will not be completed for at least 
two weeks. Wheat fields vary con¬ 
siderably in appearance. 
^ Roads are being scraped and water 
courses cleared. Farmers are fixing- 
up fences and generally cleaning up in 
odd moments. 
The Dairymen’s League is gaining 
strength in this section of the- State. 
Very few fresh cows are for sale. Dry 
feed is plentiful and, there will be hay 
to bale on many farms later on. Con¬ 
trary to the rule, May wheat is lower 
than any time sinc-e Januai-y, while 
bran and middlings ai-e high. Wheat 
is $1.32, corn 75 cents, oats 45 cents, 
eggs 22 cents, veal calves 11 cents.
