American Agriculturist, October 4, 1924 
Good Livestock Shown at 
Springfield 
I N MANY ways the live-stock exhibit 
at the Eastern States Exposition was 
the best ever held at Springfield. While 
not quite as large as last year’s showing, 
the 2040 entries of cattle, horses, sheep 
and hogs were on a high plane of qualitv. 
It was the best balanced live-stock show 
ever staged at the Exposition. Par¬ 
ticularly outstanding was the Jersey 
exhibit. The statement was made that 
many of the old time Jersey breeders 
considered the Jersey show the best ever 
held in America. That is a pretty strong 
claim without first making a careful 
comparison with previous shows, but it 
does serve to indicate the exceedingly 
high quality that characterized the 
Jersey showing. 
In number of entries the Holsteins led 
with the Jerseys standing second. Both 
the Ayrehire and Holstein exhibitors 
staged very strong shows. 
Emmadine Farm of Hopewell Junction, 
N. Y., has the distinction of winning every 
blue ribbon except one in the Guernsey 
classes. New York and New Jersey 
breeders won a large share of the ribbons, 
including four out of the five champion¬ 
ships, with their Jersey herds. Barclay 
Farm of Rosemont, Penn., an Ayrshire 
exhibitor, took a number of first places 
and junior and reserve championships 
on both male and female. 
Beef cattle were stronger this year than 
ever before. For the first time the 
exposition provided a class for carload 
lots of fat steers. 
In the sheep department the majority 
of the important places were won by New 
York and Pennsylvania breeders.—H. W.

Eastern Pennsylvania Notes 
Oliver D. Schock 
A CONSIDERABLE amount of wheat 
M has been threshed and stored. The 
yield has fallen short of expectations, 
while its grading also falls below last 
year’s high average. Corn fields were 
greatly benefited by recent heavy rains. 
Sweet corn of quality commands 50 
cents a dozen ears. The buckwheat crop 
holds out no promises for low-priced 
buckwheat flour, being decidedly short in 
production. 
Numerous barns, completely filled 
with the season’s crops, w T ere set on fire 
by lightning and destroyed, causing 
heavy losses for farmers’ mutual fire 
insurance companies. Spontaneous com¬ 
bustion was another cause for barn fires. 
Since teachers’ salaries are being increased 
in rural localities, school directors insist 
upon a higher standard for teachers. 
County or township high schools are 
becoming more; popular. 
New Jersey County Notes 
Salem County— The acreage of late 
potatoes is smaller this year. Various 
varieties of red skins and pink eyes which 
are usually planted in south Jersey be¬ 
tween the middle of July and on into 
August, were not planted as heavily this 
year as usual. This was mainly due to 
the fact that we had a very severe drouth 
with the result that the ground could not 
be plowed and fitted to receive the tubers. 
Furthermore early potatoes were so dirt 
cheap that farmers were too discouraged 
to go in very heavily. The same holds 
true with rutabagas and beans of all 
kinds. Cranberries are selling well.— 
S. B. 
Cumberland County— Crops are fair 
with the exception of corn and canning 
house tomatoes. Farmers are having 
hard times to make both ends meet. 
Early potatoes are good, but prices are 
extremely low, averaging around $1.00- 
per hundred. Hay made a good crop, 
as did wheat and oats. Peaches also 
made a good crop, while apples and pears 
will be light. Late potatoes are fair. 
Prices in general for farm products are 
only fair. — A. P. S.
