M ONROE COUNTY beekeepers will 
sustain a loss of 20% of the nor¬ 
mal yield of honey this season, accord¬ 
ing to F. M. Pillsbury, temporary State 
bee inspector for Monroe, Livingston 
and Wyoming Counties. This follows 
directly upon the heels of statements 
emanating from Oneida County to the 
effect that beekeepers there will lose 40 
per cent of their yield this year. 
Inspector Pillsbury lays the blame 
for the apparent loss at the door of 
severe weather during the spring 
months. He was optimistic regarding 
the quality of the honey crop, however, 
since recent rains and intermittent sun¬ 
shine have aroused the bees from their 
apparent innocuous lethargy. 
The honey industry in the State 
amounts to $1,000,000 annually, with 
125,000 hives producing 3,250,000 
pounds of honey. The oversupply of 
honey last year brought the price of 
it down below the normal level and in 
consequence more was consumed than 
heretofore. “In an impending sugar 
shortage people will see the advisabil¬ 
ity of using more honey,” declared Mr. 
Pillsbury.—A. H. P. 
Good Crop in Finger Lake Section 
In contrast to the reports from 
western New York and the eastern 
Mohawk Valley come reports from the 
Finger Lake section, that the honey 
crop is good. C. E. Howard of Geneva, 
who has in the neighborhood of 1,000 
bee colonies this year, is quoted as say¬ 
ing that so far this year the honey crop 
is a good one, especially in the case of 
clover honey. 
Although the season is only begun, 
Mr. Howard has taken out between ten 
and twelve tons of honey. He operated 
something like twenty apiaries in 
Seneca and Ontario Counties. Mr. 
Howard was one of the organizers of 
the New York State Beekeepers’ As¬ 
sociation and also held official positions 
m that organization. At present he 
is secretary of the Finger Lakes Bee¬ 
keepers’ Association, which embraces 
ten counties of central New York.

IN WESTERN NEW YORK 
Steuben Co.—We have had fine grow¬ 
ing i weather of late. Occasional 
showers have kept growing crops in 
nice fresh condition. However, we have 
had not enough rain to hinder harvest 
or haying in any way. Potatoes are 
coming on very rapidly, corn is back¬ 
ward, and oats is very short. Spring 
seedings _ are a failure or nearly so. 
Fruit, with the exception of berries, has 
been a failure this year. There has 
never been a time, to our recollection, 
when labor was so scarce or wages as 
high as they are at the present time. 
Farmers, with their wives and children, 
are trying to get their work done. Even 
if they could hire the help, very many 
could not pay the cost of labor — 
C. H. E. 
Genesee Co.—Farmers are very busy 
harvesting; They have secured nearly 
all of their hay and the wheat crop 
is ready to harvest. Crops of all kinds 
are extra large this year. We have 
had splendid weather, quite warm and 
many showers. The crop of beans is 
looking excellent and since the farmers 
planted more beans than usual we are 
looking forward to a big crop. Straw¬ 
berries, cherries, and currants have 
been welcomed by all the people and 
these fruits were extra fine.—J. E. J. 
In the Hudson Valley 
Washington Co.—The long dry spell 
was broken on the 16th. Corn is very 
backward, the acreage of which is nor¬ 
mal. The acreage of late potatoes is 
smaller than usual. Oats are looking 
very poor. Rye is fine, with a small 
acreage. Some new seedings are good, 
while old meadows are all right. Cows 
have been holding up in milk produc¬ 
tion fairly well, but are shrinking bad¬ 
ly now on account of poor pasture and 
flies. New milch cows are scarce and 
bringing good prices. There is no call 
for other stock.—T. P. P. 
Saratoga Co.—The crop of hay now 
being harvested in this vicinity is of 
good quality. The yield is also good. 
The yield of rye is good, oats are fair. 
Corn seems to be very backward; in 
fact, all late crops have been affected 
by the drought. The needed rain came 
m time to help potatoes that are just 
setting. Berries are high in price as 
the hot, dry weather dried them up on 
the vines. The fruit crop is not look¬ 
ing very promising at present. Cows 
have, been doing well, but are now be¬ 
ginning to shrink in their milk supply. 
Butter is 50c a pound, eggs 32c a 
dozen, wholesale. A. A. Barker’s valu- 
able herd of sheep suffered recently 
from the depredation of dogs. Over 
forty head of sheep and lambs were 
killed outright and many more injured 
and mutilated.—E. S. R. 
In Northern New York 
St. Lawrence Co.—Hay is well along. 
The crop is fairly large. Help is scarce 
and farmers are paying big wages, 
some as high as $5 a day. The corn 
crop is quite backward. Strawberries 
are plentiful, no raspberries as yet. 
Currants are plentiful. We are badly 
m need of rain.—H. S. H. 
Franklin Co.—Farmers are busy 
haying. The crop is splendid. Most 
all other crops such as oats, wheat, 
corn, and potatoes are not up to the 
average, although there are some very 
good fields. We had a most destructive 
wind and hailstorm on July 20 which 
blew down barns and silos, unroofed 
many buildings and damaged crops 
considerably. The storm is reported to 
have been most severe in the town of 
Burke, where several thousands of dol¬ 
lars damage was done to farm build- 
ings alone, to say nothing of crops. 
Following are farm prices: Hay, $18 
a ton; oats, 55c a bushel; potatoes, 75c 
a bushel; eggs, 30c a dozen; butter, 
44c a pound. The Franklin County 
farmers’ picnic, is planned for about 
August 15, and is to be held in Burling¬ 
ton.—H. T. J. 5
