Franklin County.—Haying was about 
over by the third week in August. The 
crop was good although numerous rains 
delayed harvesting to some extent. 
Crops on higher land were helped wonder¬ 
fully by the rains. Even sandy ground 
has good crops this summer. In fact, low 
lands seem to be cold and are not doing 
so well. Early potatoes have been on the 
market and peddled by some growers for 
several weeks. They started at $2 a 
bushel. The crop was good. Late 
potatoes are coming on fine. Corn in 
general looks good except on low lands. 
Tuberculosis testing is well started. 
Most farmers are interested. The farm 
bureaus and veterinarians are cooperating. 
Westville township was the first to be 
tested; had a sign-up of about 92 per cent, 
of the town’s dairymen. It will be 
cleaned up in three or four weeks. Many 
reactors have been located and shipped 
away. Some farmers are now going into 
purebreds in place of old grade stock. 
Prospects seem fair for fall crops and 
work. Grain looks good; all crops some¬ 
what late.—W. R.

just in time to save the corn crop 
here in Somerset County. It was mostly 
planted late and to all appearances will 
not make a normal yield. Just a month 
of dry weather gave farmers a good 
chance to gather their hay and grain. 
Hay making was delayed for three weeks 
on account of wet weather at the end of 
June and the first half of July. The 
the New Jersey Fruit Growers Coopera¬ 
tive Association, who told of the “Jersey 
Jerry” apples. Stancliffe Hale, an apple 
grower of Glastonbury, Connecticut, 
spoke on marketing apples from his 
farm. J. M. Borders, of the United States 
Department of Agriculture, spoke on 
grading and marketing eggs. 
The conference closed on Friday. Mr. 
quality is not of the best owing to late A. K. Getman, specialist in agricultural 
cutting. One tired farmer has been 
exhibiting specimens of alsike clover six 
feet six niches in length and says it was 
growing strong when cut. He stresses 
the point that it was that length, not 
high, for it had been growing along the

C. E. Ladd discussed research in market¬
