Watch Out for Next Year’s Seed Corn Supply 
T 1 
* ( 
American Agriculturist, October 18, 1924 
’HIS year lias been a hard one on 
crops, especially corn, and if ever a 
warning was needed it certainly is this 
year. Reports from all over the A. A. 
territory indicate clearly that the corn 
crop is way off this year. The same is 
true out West. 
It is old, old advice that two years’ 
supply of seeds be kept on hand. The 
fellow who followed that advice last year 
did well and he will be particularly mind¬ 
ful of his seed corn this year. 
The corn crop is far from normal and 
only in a few sections has it really ma¬ 
tured properly. Long Island growers of 
the famous Luce’s Favorite have been 
paying particular attention to their seed 
stock this year. Seed supplies are going 
to be short and prices of seed corn next 
spring, if present indications mean any¬ 
thing at all, are going to be high. 
New York Farm News from Along 
the Southern Tier 
TTORDEN’S are contemplating es- 
•LJ tablishing a plant at Walton in 
Delaware Comity. 
A part of the big Nestle’s plant at 
Binghamton is to be occupied as a store¬ 
house and distributing station for the 
Grand Union Groceries output for this 
vicinity. 
Frosts have visited certain places 
along the valleys of the Susquehanna and 
Chenango rivers, but not in killing degree 
up to the first of October. Potatoes are 
still green in many localities and few 
pieces have been struck by the blight. 
Digging of late potatoes has not pro¬ 
gressed far enough so that a safe estimate 
of the crop can be made. Early potatoes, 
however, have not turned out very well. 
in Tioga County is quite plentiful and 
there seems to be no scarcity of apples. 
In some sections, tomatoes, ripe ones, 
are scarce because the cold season has 
not been conducive to ripening. 
Heavy Floods Along Southern Tier 
Southern Tioga County was swept with 
floods on September 29 and 30. A rain 
that continued for thirty-nine hours 
caused all streams to rise to unusual 
proportions. The Susquehanna River 
rose to the height of 16 feet above the low 
water mark. Late crops were destroyed. 
Half of Nichols Village was flooded when 
the Wapasening Creek overflowed its 
bank. One woman, Mrs. Frank Regan 
drowned. Her car became stalled in a 
small creek which flows through the 
Regan farm. While Mr. Regan left the 
car to go to the barn to get the horses to 
haul the stalled car from the creek, Mrs. 
Regan, it is supposed, became frightened 
at the rapidly rising water and attempted 
to wade ashore. Although the water was 
only three feet deep, it was a raging 
torrent and she was swept from her feet. 
Although a tremendous amount of 
damage was done to late unharvested 
crops and gardens, nevertheless the 
amount of damage is not compared to that 
created by the cloud burst we had in 
August. All during the summer folks 
feared that we would have a water famine 
this winter, but we will not have one this 
year. The damage to crops in all Tioga 
County cannot be estimated. We know 
the damage was quite serious.— Mrs. D.B.

hibitions of cows, hogs and poultry were 
large and good, while the display of apples 
was one of the best in recent years, show¬ 
ing the benefits of spraying. 
Silos are being filled, and the ground 
where the corn was grown is being seeded 
to wheat, and seeding of wheat is still 
going on where potatoes have been dug. 
Potatoes are very uniform in size, but the 
yield is not as large per acre as the stalks 
would indicate. They are selling around 
75c a bushel. 
More Soy Beans and Alfalfa 
Several fields of soy beans were grown 
Farmers from seventy-five to one 
hundred miles distant bring their products 
to the new Binghamton public market. 
In such numbers do these producers 
come that the market master is dis¬ 
couraging them from overloading the 
market and thereby forcing the prices to 
producers down to an unprofitable point. 
Corn proves to be very spotted. Along 
yielded from 2 to 3 tons of good hay per 
acre. 
A number of farmers have sown alfalfa 
this year, after having seen the splendid 
hay which some farmers have grown of it, 
and the big lot of hay made per acre from 
2 or 3 cuttings in one year. 
Some corn has been cut, but it needs a 
week or two of warm weather to mature

Apple picking has begun, but apples 
are not as well colored as they should be. 
There is only a half crop of apples in this 
section and there is more of a demand for 
cider apples than there is for good cook¬ 
ing apples. 
Threshing is well under way for the 
time of year, and will end earlier than 
usual. Some wheat is being marketed at 
$1.30 to $1.35. Old corn is selling at $1.15 
to $1.20 with much old corn unsold.

E. L. V. 
Tioga County —Crops in general 
turned out pretty good. Hay yielded 
well but the continual drizzly rains make 
curing almost an impossibility and some 
fields were ruined. Corn is late, but 
much better than was anticipated. Silos 
are either filled or being filled. Frosts 
got some corn but not enough to injure 
it materially. Threshing has been under 
way for some time. Oats turned out 
well as did the other winter grains. 
Buckwheat made rank growth this year, 
but filled well. Milk is doing a little 
better. The farmer who has his farm 
paid off can easily keep his head above the 
water. But those who are not so for¬ 
tunately situated are having a pretty 
hard time of it. It seems that this latter 
class predominates. Eggs are scarce and 
consequently high, selling at 54c a dozen. 
Butter has advanced, the best selling at 
stores for 50c a pound. All meats are 
on the up grade. So are groceries. Fruit
