New York County Notes 
Essex County. —Grain has been har-< 
vested and some farmers have threshed. 
Oats are light. Other grains about 
right. Many fine fields of corn need 
a month more without frost to ripen. 
Potatoes are yielding well, but the fre¬ 
quent rains may cause rotting. Apples 
promise a good crop. August butter-fat 
was 39c a pound, eggs 45c a dozen, fowls 
25c a pound, live.— Mrs. M. E. B. 
Delaware County. —Oats have been 
harvested but up to a week ago little 
threshing had been done because of the wet 
rainy weather. Cows are being fed green 
feed to keep up the flow of milk. Ayer- 
McKinney at Delhi paid $2.05 for August 
milk. Eggs are bringing 40c at the local 
market, potatoes $1 a bushel, apples $1. 
Mrs. E. L. N. 
Chautauqua County. —Farmers are 
trying to get their grains threshed, but 
the wet weather is a great hindrance. 
Oats are a good crop, also buckwheat. 
Corn will be much better than expected. 
Some potato rot is reported. They are 
generally a good crop, but late in matur¬ 
ing. Milk flow is keeping up good for 
the season. Farmers are not buying 
much grain, as the price is too high. 
But there is plenty of green feed. The 
farmers complain mostly about the low 
price of milk and high taxes. The apple 
crop is poor, the fruit is small and 
gnarly. Dairy cows are in poor demand, 
generally. Springers bring a fair price.— 
A. J. N., Sinclairville. 
Chautauqua County.— We are having 
some fine weather, which is giving the 
farmers a chance to draw and thresh their 
oats. It will help the grapes to ripen. 
Milk is so low that a great many prefer 
to keep hens. Feed is so high, the profit 
in that line is small at present. Meal is 
$3 a hundred in our town. Corn will 
not amount to much only for the silo. 
Potatoes are a good crop and are selling 
for 75c per bushel.—P. S. S., Dewittville. 
districts. The harvesting of a large crop 
has been progressing favorably and it 
seems to be the consensus of opinion that 
when it will be cured it will be above the 
average in quality of leaf. . 
Pennsylvania County News 
Erie County —The fore part of Septem¬ 
ber was cold, cloudy and very disagree¬ 
able. We didn’t see the sun for two weeks. 
Grape-growers have been very anxious 
over their crop, as there was no sun to 
ripen the fruit. All crops have matured 
very slowly this year and we will need a 
late fall. We have been having lots of 
rain. Potatoes will make a fair crop 
selling along $1 a bushel. Butter is 
bringing from 45 to 48c., eggs are bringing 
from 45 to 50c. Oats have turned out 
good and wheat is fair. Threshing is well 
under way in many localities.— Mrs. R. 
R. McA. 
Cumberland County. —We have been 
having quite a spell of dry weather during 
the fore part of September. It has been 
pretty cold at times, in fact, we had a 
light frost the night of September 11. 
However, it did no damage. There is 
quite a little fall plowing to be done as 
yet but farmers have been handicapped 
because it was too dry. During the dry 
weather, threshing was rushed. Wheat 
turned out very poorly, while oats were 
quite the opposite. The corn crop will be 
short and we do not expect the fruit crop 
to be of any consequence with the ex¬ 
ception of peaches, which seem to be turn¬ 
ing out fair.—J. B. K. 
New Jersey Horticulturist to 
Meet With National Grange 
T HE annual meeting of the New Jersey 
State Horticultural Society will be 
held in the Vernon Room of Haddon 
Hall Hotel, Atlantic City, on. November 
12, 13 and 14. The exhibit will be staged 
on the Steel Pier in connection with the 
State exhibit under the direction of the 
State Grange. 
The meetings will be held during the 
Week that the National Grange is holding 
their Annual Meeting in Atlantic City. 
Eastern Pennsylvania Notes 
Oliver D. Schock 
B UCKWHEAT and many yields are 
far below the average this year. 
Eastern Pennsylvania corn growers are 
selecting corn while the beans are still on 
the stalks. This is a practical method 
and insures a sound seed for next year. 
Those who had good sound seed stock 
last spring sold all their surplus at at¬ 
tractive prices. 
An analysis of the fruit exhibits at the 
county fair reveal that the Yellow El- 
berta peach continues as the most popular 
commercial variety in Pennsylvania. One 
of its outstanding qualities is its ability 
to withstand shipments. 
Tobacco wild fire was less troublesome 
this year than in preceding years, ac¬ 
cording to reports in tobacco-growing 
New Jersey Farmers Agree on Legislative 
Bills 
(Continued from page 250) 
Protection from Deer Urged 
An interesting argument developed 
over a proposed amendment to the reg¬ 
ulating of shooting of deer in New Jersey. 
It seems that deer are very greatly on the 
increase in certain counties and that 
they do a large amount of damage in the 
destruction of fruit trees and farm crops. 
Under the present law the farmer is 
permitted to kill the deer on his own 
premises providing he turns over the 
carcass. But those who have suffered 
damages said it was practically impos¬ 
sible to either poison or shoot the deer. 
It was suggested that perhaps one way 
to handle the proposition was to extend 
the open season and allow hunters to 
kill more than one. Someone answered 
this by saying that then there would be 
too many hunters and the hunters them¬ 
selves are nuisances. A resolution was 
carried asking for a law by which owners 
of property damaged by the deer should 
receive adequate compensation for such 
damage from the State. 
Perhaps the chief outstanding impres¬ 
sion to be had from this gathering of New 
Jersey farmers was the fact that although 
they disagreed on details, yet they were 
always able to reach a final decision and 
the spirit of cooperation constantly mani¬ 
fested among the men and different or¬ 
ganizations represented was something 
which would have been absolutely im¬ 
possible among farmers or their organ¬ 
izations a few years ago.
