/or the FORDSON 
Fordson power is the modem farm power. 
Put behind it an Oliver No. 7-A plow or an Oliver FDH 
Disc Harrow and you are using the most modem outfit 
designed to help you toward bigger crop yields. 
You will find the No. 7-A a pleasure to operate. Plowing 
depth is set by a powerful screw which will raise the bottoms 
completely out of the ground even with the outfit standing 
still. Each adjustment of the plow is conveniently mad6 
irom the tractor seat. Of course there is a power lift. 
Equally convenient to operate and capable of equally good 
work under varied soil conditions is the Oliver FDH harrow. 
Here, also, a quick acting screw control, operated from the 
seat, permits the gangs to be angled with the tractor moving 
or standing. The flexible construction permits short turns 
gives lightest draft and even depth penetration. 
Experience of three generations in the making of highest 
grade, practical farm implements, and in more recent years, 
close cooperation in the building of equipment for the Ford¬ 
son, has made possible the development of these new 
Fordson tools. 
See and compare their work with your own exacting standard 
of quality soil preparation.

American Agriculturist, July 26, 1924 
New York Horticultural 
Society Makes Fruit 
Crop Survey 
r PHE New York State Horticultural 
A Society, through Secretary Roy p 
McPherson, has announced its fruit 
prospects of July 1 which is given below 
On the market page you will find the 
analysis of the fruit situation by counties, 
showing the percentage crop of the 
various varieties in each county. 
The summer meeting of the society 
will be held at the home of S. C. Wilson, 
of Hall, N. Y., on Wednesday, July 3i, 
1924, and at the borne of Mr. Clifford L. 
Miller, Claveraek, N. Y., on Saturday 
August 9, 1924. 
Mr. McPherson’s report is as follows: 
“During the last week in July, 250 
members of the Society submitted re¬ 
ports on the condition of various fruit 
crops. These reports indicate that at 
that time prospects were for a better 
than average, but not unusual, crop of 
fruit in this State. 
t “The condition of APPLES was re¬ 
ported as one-fifth higher than at this 
time either last year or the year before, 
and nearly twice as high as at this time 
in 1921. Fall apples appear to be a par- 
ticularly good crop in all parts of the 
State and Greenings and McIntosh show 
up fairly well. The bloom on Baldwins 
was very spotty and the crop may be no 
heavier than at this time last year but 
one-fifth below r the condition in 1922, 
The general report is that pears bloomed 
well but that no varieties have set heavy. 
The condition of PEACHES was reported 
as one-tenth higher than last year but 
only three-fourths as high as "in 1922, 
early and late varieties being about 
equally promising. Prospects for PLUMS 
were for about an average crop but the 
condition of both QUINCES and SOUR 
CHERRIES tvas higher even than at this 
time in 1920. SWEET CHERRIES and 
GRAPES will be only about average crops. 
Reports Not Reliable Due to Seasonal 
Conditions 
“Although these reports indicate the 
prospects for fruit crops the last w^eek in 
June, they are less reliable for showing 
prospects than estimates made at this 
season in previous years. The cool 
weather of May and the first half of June 
so greatly retarded the blooming and 
development of all fruits that the July 1st 
figures are hardly comparable with those 
of previous years. Recent reports indicate 
that the droppings of cherries, apples 
and other fruits may be considerably 
heavier than v-as expected at the time 
these reports were mailed, and the storm 
of June 28th is reported to have reduced 
prospects for grapes in the Chautauqua 
belt by 10 per cent. On the other hand, 
practically every important fruit section 
of the State reports a fair prospect for 
nearly all tree fruits, and when this is the 
case a substantial improvement in the 
prospects for apples and other late fruits 
must be considered as a possibility. 
As in previous years all reports that 
were received were used in preparing 
the estimates for the various districts 
and for the State, but county figures 
are published only for those counties 
from which three or more reports were 
received. The figures were tabulated 
under the supervision of John B. Shepard 
and Roy L. Gillett, Agricultural Statis¬ 
ticians at Albany, New Yft-k, and repre¬ 
sent only the reports from members of 
this Society combined in proportion to the 
usual quantities of the various fruits pro¬ 
duced in the various counties of the State.
