Among the Farmers 
New York Fruit Prospects Less Favorable 
C ONTRARY to early reports and in¬ 
dications, the apple crop in Western 
New York is not going to be as heavy 
as was first expected. Early in the 
season Baldwins promised a heavy crop, 
but indications are now that it will be 
no more than fair and some growers 
are of the opinion that the crop is go¬ 
ing to be light. The bloom was heavy 
and apples set well, but since these 
early reports were received there has 
been a steady decrease in the prospects. 
Even at this date it is too early to re¬ 
port on the June drop. If this is right 
there will be only a fair crop of apples. 
However, if it is in any proportion to 
the drop since apples set, indications 
are that there is going to be a short 
crop for harvest next fall. 
According to a report of the New 
York State Horticultural Society which 
has just conducted a survey of the fruit 
situation among 253 members, the apple 
crop throughout the State is about the- 
same as it was last year at this time, 
but only two-thirds as high as it was at 
this time in 1920. The report states 
however, that “as conditions last year 
improved more than they usually do 
after the first of July, the crop is not 
expected to be as large as that of last 
year unless weather conditions from 
now on are unusually favorable. Com¬ 
pared with conditions a year ago, the 
reports indicate two-thirds as many fall 
apples, nearly twice as many Baldwins, 
three-fourths as many Greenings and 
slightly more of McIntosh and Northern 
Spy. There are considerable differences 
this year in the reports for individual 
orchards, but prospects for apples are 
rather more uniform over the State 
than they have been for several years.” 
Aside from apples, the fruit prospects 
are not nearly as good as they were at 
this time last year. The reports indi¬ 
cate between one-half and two-thirds as 
many pears, Bartlets being particularly 
light; a little more than two-thirds as 
many peaches; a little more than three- 
fourths as many plums and quinces and 
seventh-eighths as many cherries and 
grapes. 
NEW YORK COUNTY NOTES 
Orange Co.—Haying is now in full 
blast. The crop is looking fine. Pota¬ 
toes are not as good as usual, un¬ 
doubtedly due to the fact that they 
were injured by the severe drought 
and heat during the latter part of 
June. Cherries and currants are 
making the largest crop in years. 
They are of excellent quality. Prices 
vary from 12 to 25c a quart. The 
right kind of farm people want pro¬ 
hibition and the strict enforcement of 
the Eighteenth Amendment. We need 
a sober nation to keep us from being 
killed by drunken automobile drivers. 
Eggs have been bringing 26c a dozen 
on the average at village stores from 
March 1 to July 4, the lowest price 
in years.— Mrs. W. V. S. 
Steuben County Farm Bureau and 
chairman of the picnic committee, an¬ 
nounced the date of the annual picnic 
as August 11. The Soldier’s Home will 
be the meeting place the same as of 
last year. One of the special features 
will be the country-wide quoit-pitch¬ 
ing tournament of which D. D. Cottrell 
of North Cohocton is in charge. Mr. 
Cottrell himself is an expert at the 
game and offers professional services 
in the coaching of community teams 
previous to the contest. The usual 
sports such as a ball game, races and 
stunt contests will be included in the 
program. The committee promises a 
bigger and better picnic than ever 
before. 
Monroe Co.< —Farmers have been 
setting out cabbage lately. It looks 
as though the cabbage will be much less 
than planned on account of the cab¬ 
bage maggot and unfavorable weather 
conditions. Apples have not set in 
anywhere the proportion they blos¬ 
somed. Greenings will undoubtedly be 
very light. Baldwins will make a fair 
showing, potatoes are coming up and 
looking fairly good. Late potatoes are 
just beginning to show up nicely. More 
beans are being raised in this section 
this year than in the last few years. 
This year beans were one of our main 
crops _ in this section, but on account 
of prices, farmers have not put in so 
many of late. During the last week in 
June one of the most violent rain, wind 
and hail storms in recent years swept 
over this part of Monroe County creat¬ 
ing heavy damage. The storm was 
more like a cyclone, causing partic¬ 
ularly heavy losses to fruit growers. 
Hundreds of trees were up-rooted. 
Grain fields leveled and severe damage 
was done to potatoes, beans and cabbage 
by hail. The wind was so severe that 
many buildings were blown off the 
foundations. In many instances the 
farmers will have to replant their 
crops. 
Chautauqua Co. —Farmers have been 
busy sowing buckwheat and cultivat¬ 
ing corn. Many have started haying. 
The acreage of buckwheat will not be 
as large as some years owing to the 
dry, hard condition of the ground. We 
have had two or three good rains, but 
we need more. What help farmers are 
fortunate enough to hire, ask 50c an 
hour and board during haying time. As 
everyone seems to have gone to the 
city to work many farmers have de¬ 
cided to do most of their haying alone. 
—P. S. S. 
Ontario Co. —We are having a fine 
growing season, all crops look well. 
We have had almost too much rain to 
make hay, with the result that some of 
the hay brought into the barns is badly 
colored. Help is out of the question. 
Farmers are trading help and are 
getting along the best they can.—

Oswego Co.—Canneries have started 
putting up peas. The indications are 
that the crop will be heavier this 
year than usual, although the yield 
will be about average. Later varie¬ 
ties look particularly good. The 
greater part of the acreage is in the 
townships of Scriba, Oswego and 
Hannibal. Oswego strawberries started 
moving to New York City for the 
first time last week. The berry acre¬ 
age in Oswego this year is the largest 
in several years. Due to the late sea¬ 
son the shipments have started much 
later than usual. 
In Western New York 
Steuben Co.—Around Avoca there 
has been little or no rain since June 
14, and the weather has been ex¬ 
tremely hot and dry, consequently if 
rain does not come soon, farmers are 
going to suffer heavy losses. Con¬ 
trary. to the general practice, potato 
plantings were heavier in June than 
in May. With the hot and dry 
weather some anticipation is felt for 
the potato crop. Pastures are drying 
up and indications are that the hay 
crop will be less than half last year’s. 
Help is extremely scarce. Work on the 
State Roads has attracted men from 
the farms in many cases.

CLARENCE A. O’BRIEN, Registered Patent Law¬ 
yer, 904 Southern Building, Washington, D. C. 
I have seen a good crop of hay har¬ 
vested when the prospect for a crop on 
June 10 was very poor. On a trip 
close to a 100 miles on June 10, I did 
not find promises for a hay crop at all 
flattering. Just now I was reading an 
article, “A Plea for Courage.” It re¬ 
lated to railroads but its plea did not 
appeal to me as does the farmers’ cour¬ 
age in such times as we have now. It 
is true that for two days or so rains 
have fallen, but considerably more will 
be needed if we are to get the amount 
of moisture necessary to give us an 
average hay crop. 
There is a much better feeling than 
was the case a week ago. Certainly 
there is a possibility for fodder to keep 
the cows next winter, yet the prospect 
is none too bright. The dry weather 
for two weeks or so made corn planting 
for this season almost a thing of the 
past and some of the farmers even went 
beyond their calculations, plowing up 
discouraging looking meadows and 
drilling in corn. This corn for fodder 
is really good stuff. It makes better 
feed for cattle, even this late planting,
