Notes from Among the Farmers 
Of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania 
/^LD hay has been almost all cleared 
out of this part of the country, along 
the southern tier of New York. Wet 
weather has brought the new crop along 
well for the past few weeks. 
Many fields which farmers intended to 
devote to oats never have been seeded 
in 1924. Some will go into buckwheat, 
some remain in the fallow furrow. 
Some have begun haying and find the 
crop only medium in quantity but of 
good quality. 
Farm wages are still high, men com¬ 
manding forty cents an hour; but it 
does seem easier to get men that are 
willing to do farm work. 
The shops at Endicott and Johnson 
City are all running light-handed, some 
not at all for a few weeks’ vacation with¬ 
out pay. This makes a difference in the 
pay checks of the hands and secondarily 
affects farmers who sell produce.—E. L, V. 
and some plowed them under and sowed 
buckwheat, although this is not a buck¬ 
wheat county. Hay harvest, corn cul¬ 
tivating and other work seems to all come 
at once and farmers cannot get enough 
help to do the work at any price. Wheat 
is $1.40 a bushel; corn, $1; rye, 90c; 
oats, 60c; eggs, 27c a doz.; butter, 47c. 
No one seems to know the price of milk. 
It looks as though it had none.—J. R. F. 
which were sown late. Eggs 28c, butter 
45c. Raspberries made a good crop and 
have been quite plentiful. Oats are 
looking good. Corn is very late. A 
great deal of it has been poorly cared for. 
Potatoes are coming on slow. They will 
be late. Pastures are good. Milk is 
holding up fairly well. — J. F. S. 
New York County Notes 
Oneida County.—The season has been 
several weeks late compared to normal 
in regard to practically all vegetation. 
Potatoes are making fairly rapid growth. 
Oats are looking good. Nights are too 
cool for corn which shows very uneven 
growth. Hay is a good crop as to quan¬ 
tity and quality. New seedings are 
heavy. This has been a good year for 
alsike clover which is plentifully mixed 
in the hay. Haying has been nicely 
started at this writing (July 26). The 
flow of milk is holding up very well for 
this time of the year. Small fruits have 
been plentiful. Early apples set quite 
good. Eggs are selling for 35c a dozen. 
Pork up to 200 pounds brings 11 to 12c 
per pound, dressed. Young pigs sold at 
$5 each. Many farmers are working 
on the county roads.—E. N. A. 
Steuben County. —Potatoes are look¬ 
ing fine here. Early peas were poor and 
all of them have been marketed. The 
prospects are much better for late peas 
than for the early crop.—N. Y. P. 
Ontario County.—Everybody is busy 
haying, which crop promises to be a good 
one. Every one ought to be in wheat 
harvest by the first of the month. Some 
pieces look very good, while others are 
light. Lots of cherries.—H. D. S. 
Eastern Pennsylvania Notes 
Oliver D. Schock 
T^HE Berks County cow testing asso- 
* ciation reports tests of all cows 
producing 1,000 pounds of milk or 40 
pounds of butterfat during the month. 
Albert S. Savigs’ best cow is credited 
with 1,905 pounds of milk for June. The 
average of the ten highest producers was 
1,543 pounds, as compared with 1,567 
pounds for the preceding month. 
Chester County farmers report that the 
use of chemical weed destroyers has 
resulted in the death of several cows and 
other animals. These remedies are 
powerful in their action, killing roots 
as well as the tops of all weeds and 
vegetation, hence, extra caution is re¬ 
quired. State authorities will investigate 
into the cause of the harm done by the 
remedy. 
Eastern Pennsylvania harvested a 
heavy crop of hay, Timothy clover and 
alfalfa yields being exceptionally large 
and of excellent quality. The Philadel¬ 
phia hay market averages about fifty 
carloads weekly at present, with cash 
prices of $20 to $28 per ton. Wheat, 
oats and rye straw, in carload lots brought 
$15 to 17 per ton. 
Many Central Pennsylvania apple 
orchards will produce yields far below 
the average, due to poor climatic condi¬ 
tions when the trees were in bloom. The 
Stayman Winesap, being in blossom at a 
late period, will be a very small crop. 
The Yellow Transparent escaped injury, 
because of its early blossoming. 
There will be an unusual scarcity of 
turkeys on eastern Pennsylvania farms. 
Other varieties of fowls will be plentiful. 
Notes from New Jersey 
Mercer County.— A dairy tour sup¬ 
ported by the Mercer County Dairy Re¬ 
cord Association, the Mercer County 
Holstein-Friesian Association and the 
Mercer County Guernsey Association 
will be run through Lawrence township of 
Mercer County on August 8. Visits 
will be made to several purebred cattle 
and alfalfa farms. Crops of soy beans 
will also be inspected. At noon the party 
will enjoy a basket lunch after which 
Professor Barland of the Pennsylvania 
State College will give an address. A 
purebred bull sale will be staged at J. W. 
Miller’s “Province Line Farm” of 10 fine 
bulls which will be sold, half from Guern¬ 
sey and half from Holstein herds. This 
will give farmers an opportunity to stock 
up with some good animals. It is ex¬ 
pected that this will be the climax of the 
purebred bull campaign.— Mrs. J. E. H. 
Hunterdon County.— During the early 
part of July we had some very wet 
weather with very little sunshine. Hay¬ 
ing is completed. The early part of the 
haying season was hard on farmers be¬ 
cause of the little good curing weather 
we have had. The crop was very good, 
in fact the best in several years. Wheat 
is two weeks late. It is making heavy 
straw but it has not filled out as well as 
last year. Corn is not looking good. In 
some fields the grass and weeds are as 
high as the corn and the wet weather has 
made it impossible to do much cultiva¬ 
tion. As a result there will be a poor 
crop. Quite a bit of oats rotted this year 
Central Pennsylvania Notes 
J. N. Glover 
CJOME Timothy hay is still being made 
^ by those who have a big acreage to 
cut. The hay crop was much better than 
the stand of grass a year ago would in¬ 
dicate. Pastures are short, due to no 
rain for nearly two weeks, but we have 
had fine weather for cutting wheat and 
hauling it into barns. Wheat handles as 
though it is well filled, and it is long in 
the stalk, making a big amount of straw 
to store in threshing time. 
Threshing of wheat has begun already 
though only a few farmers thresh wheat 
from the field. Oats are turning yellow 
rapidly and some fields will be fit to cut 
this week. It promises to be a good crop 
for as late as oats were sown. 
Corn is making a good growth, but will 
need many more warm nights and 
showers next month with no frost before 
October to make a crop of corn. But 
the color and the stand of corn are both 
good, though planting was two weeks late. 
Early potatoes may be a better crop 
than late ones, unless we have rain. 
A number of farmers are planning to 
have sales of their farm stock next spring, 
as the advance in the prices of wheat and 
corn has not helped them, unless this 
year’s wheat crop sells much higher. 
Milk prices are discouraging compared 
with the price of feed, so sales and 
changes of tenants will continue until 
prices adjust themselves better. 
Crawford County. — We have been 
having quite cool weather. Haying is 
in full blast and we look for a big crop. 
Wheat is also being cut. The crop looks 
good with the exception of those fields

more, but by then the first named candi¬ 
date, proving unsatisfactory to the Com¬ 
mission, it had reappointed the same man 
who held the position last year. 
It was stated further that for years the 
horticultural interests had not had good 
cooperation from those in charge of the 
Fair and that the time had come to 
go where they would get such cooperation. 
After the discussion, President Wilson 
called for a vote on the resolution. There 
were several ayes and some nays, so he 
called for a standing vote. Between 
forty and fifty members stood for the 
resolution and five or six voted against 
it. A large number did not vote and 
there was a considerable sentiment after¬ 
wards that the Society had made a mis¬ 
take although all agreed that the provo¬ 
cation was great. 
A cafeteria luncheon was served by 
the ladies of the Union Congregational 
Church on the beautiful lawns of the 
Vi ilson home af ter which there were 
plays and games and the inspection trip 
through the great orchards.
