most commonly reported as being 
offered by buyers, other reports run¬ 
ning from 80c to $3.00. Reports re¬ 
garding the prices being offered for ‘A 
Grade’ winter apples, packed, were al¬ 
most equally variable. 
WEATHERBY JOINS THE AMERI¬ 
CAN AGRICULTURIST 
It gives us much pleasure to announce 
that Mr. E. C. Weatherby has joined 
the staff of the American Agriculturist 
as manager of the Circulation De¬ 
partment. 
One of the fundamental purposes of 
American Agriculturist is to build up 
a staff of workers who are or have been 
NEW YORK APPLE 
CROP SHORT 
The New York apple crop 
will be considerably below 
that of last year, accord¬ 
ing to R.. P. McPherson, 
Secretary of the New York 
State Horticultural Society. 
Mr. McPherson’s statement 
is based upon a survey con¬ 
ducted by the Society among 
its members. Briefly the 
report of the survey shows 
that the crop will be 86 per 
cent of last year’s, and 
Western New York apples are some¬ 
what below the Hudson Valley. Mr. 
McPherson’s report, is as follows: 
“Reports received from 257 members 
indicate that on or about September 1, 
55 per cent of a normal crop of apples 
was expected. A year ago 64 per cent 
of a normal crop was expected. This 
indicates that the total crop in the prin¬ 
cipal fruit sections of the State is ex¬ 
pected to be about 6-7 (86 per cent) as 
large as that of last year. Outside of 
the important fruit sections the reduc¬ 
tion compared with last year is much 
greater. 
“Quality this year is much poorer 
than usual in Western New York, and 
better than usual in sprayed orchards 
in the Hudson Valley. Members in 
Western New York report that only 48 
per cent of the apple crop will pack as 
‘A Grade’ as defined by the New York 
State Law. At this time last year 
they estimated 59 per cent. In the 
Hudson Valley members estimate that 
68 per cent will be ‘A Grade,’ compared 
with 59 per cent last year. 
“Taking into consideration both the 
reduction in the total crop, and the re¬ 
duction in the percentage of sound 
fruit, the indicated production of ‘A 
Grade’ fruit is only 4-5 (81 per cent) 
of the corresponding indication at this 
time last year. This agrees closely with 
the estimates of members regarding 
the number of barrels of fall and 
winter apples of marketable quality 
that they will harvest this year. 
“Only a few members submitted re¬ 
ports on prices, most stating that no 
offers had been received. On a tree- 
run basis the most common report 
from Western New York was $2.75 to 
is the best farm paper in New York 
State. While it has a circulation ofi 
over 130,000 farm families, its influx 
ence is so good that it needs even more 
readers, and farmers and organizations 
need the American Agriculturist. 
Therefore, my position will be one of 
service.” Mr. Weatherby will begin 
his service October 1. 
We are glad also to announce that Mr. 
H. L. Vonderlieth, who has had charge 
of the Circulation Department, will con¬ 
tinue with the paper in an advisory 
capacity. Mr. Vonderlieth, who is also 
circulation manager of Today’s House¬ 
wife, has been working during the past 
year on a part-time basis for American 
Agriculturist. Under his direction, the 
circulation of American Agriculturist 
has increased from 106,000 to 130,000. 
The reason Mr. Vonderlieth is un¬ 
able to continue as circulation manager 
is, that he could not, be¬ 
cause of other work, give 
his entire time to it. In 
his service to American 
Agriculturist, he has made 
thousands of friends, both 
in the headquarters office 
and in the country, all of 
whom will be glad to know 
that he is to continue his 
contact with the paper. 
E. C. Weatherby 
farmers, whose training has been along 
agricultural lines, and whose whole ex¬ 
perience will give them a sympathy and 
understanding with all the problems 
with which farmers must contend. We 
are very enthusiastic that Mr. Weather¬ 
by has consented to come to American 
Agriculturist because he more than fills 
all of these qualifications. 
He was born in the hills of Tompkins 
County, New York, on a 250-acre 
farm, about which Mr. Weatherby says: 
“This farm has been operated profitably 
enough to give my sister and myself 
high school and college advantages and 
to make a home that is the best place I 
know to go to.” 
After graduating from the New 
York State College of Agriculture, 
Mr. Weatherby returned to the home 
farm where he spent two years in 
partnership with his father. Then in 
1917 he was chosen by the Cayuga 
County Farm Bureau as its county 
agent, where he remained for three 
years, becoming known and liked by 
farm people in every community of 
that great county. The last three 
years Mr. Weatherby has been assist¬ 
ant secretary of the Grange-League- 
Federation Exchange, in charge of 
organization work and advertising and 
through that work he has learned the 
problems of farmers throughout the 
entire territory to which American 
Agriculturist goes. 
In commenting upon his becoming a 
member of the American Agriculturist 
staff, Mr. Weatherby said: “I want the 
farm folks to know that I am not leaving 
cooperative work, but just enteringan- 
other field of service to them. I believe 
the American Agriculturist editorially 
NEW YORK COUNTY 
NOTES 
Cortland Co.—The severe 
drought of the last two 
months continues in most 
parts of the county. Pas¬ 
tures are affording but little 
feed. Some farmers are 
filling their silos as corn 
is drying very badly. Po¬ 
tatoes will probably be a 
50 per cent crop. Cabbage 
is looking good and will be 
a good crop if it rains soon. 
Eggs are selling from 38 to 
40c, early potatoes $2 per 
bushel.—G. A. B. 
Oneida Co.—T he hay 
crop, which was good as to 
quantity and quality, was 
secured in good condition. 
Oats harvested quite well. 
Some threshing done. Re¬ 
cent showers have started 
after feed. Some good 
pieces of corn, but mostly 
below standard. Potatoes 
have been looking good. 
Frost did considerable 
damage in northern part of 
the county. Fresh eggs sell at 38c, new 
potatoes $1.50 to $2 per bushel. The 
flow of milk is shrinking. — E. N. A. 
Fruit in the Medicine Chest 
( Continued, from paffe 209) 
be grapefruit, oranges, prunes or some 
such thing when we cannot get ap¬ 
ples, and often when we do have 
them. If apples from our own orchard 
fails, as they do sometimes, we know _ 
that somebody else has them and we * 
will get them, no matter at what price, 
for they are our medicine chest. It 
costs to get fruit when it is scarce. 
What of that? At any price it is bet¬ 
ter than a long siege with rheumatism’ 
or some other form of toxic poisoning, 
and a big doctor’s bill at the end. 
I am convinced that no matter where 
we live, or what may be the expense, 
fruit ought to have a place on the table 
of every family all the time. I have 
laughed a good many times over a sup¬ 
per I had once at the home of a half- 
breed Indian in southern Illinois. I 
was then in the employ of Uncle Sam, 
and circumstances were such that I was 
away out in the country for the night, 
and this was the home at which I 
must stay. The wife in that home did 
her best for the stranger within her 
gates. She brought out fourteen differ¬ 
ent kinds of sauce and I sampled 
them all! 
Every woman may virtually protect 
herself and her family from sickness 
by laying in a good big store of fruit 
and fruit products for everyday use the 
year round,
