Silo filling time. Better snap up the ignition of 
your gas engine with a New Columbia Hot Shot. 
That’s the right ignition. The largest laboratory, 
devoted to perfecting dry cell batteries, makes it 
right. Hence, Columbias give more power and last 
longer. Simple, no complicated parts to get out of 
order. Super-durable, moisture-proof, rain-proof, in 
their steel case, they insure dependable ignition in all 
weather. Ask for Columbias; insist on getting them. 
Columbia Dry Batteries for every 
kind of service are sold at elec¬ 
trical, hardware, and auto acces¬ 
sory shops, garages, general 
stores. Insist upon Columbia.

“I set out to build 
a farm engine 
that would have 
every feature the 
farmer wanted 
and none he did¬ 
n't want. It has 
now been on the 
market six years. 
Thousands of sat¬ 
isfied users tell 
me I’ve succeed¬ 
ed. I’m proud to 
have this engine 
bear my name."

ENGINE j 
The regular power jobs 
on your farm probably 
vary from about 1)4 to 6 
H. P. Yet there’s no 
need to have two or more 
engines for these jobs. 
Today you can get six 
engines in one. You can 
get an engine that will 
deliver 1)4 H. P. for the 
little jobs, 6 H. P. for the 
heavy work, or any de¬ 
sired power in between. 
You can change power as 
you change jobs—change 
power instantly. And you 
will get high efficiency and 
low cost at all powers. 
No Other Engine 
Like It 
There Is no other farm 
engine like the Edwards. 
It pumps, 
washes, 
churns, 
SJLl separates, 
milks, 
runs an 
8- inch 
f rinder, 
O-inch 
wood- 
saw sheller, small silo filler, 
concrete mixer, spray rig, 
etc., and does every job 
easily and cheaply. Noother 
engine can do this. It is 
easy to mo ve and can beset 
anywhere and put to work 
without fastening down. 
Bums kerosene or gasoline. 
Smooth running. No vi¬ 
bration. Safe—no crank¬ 
ing. Safety fly-wheel and 
all moving parts enclosed. 
Anyone can operate it. 
What Users Say 
Fred Dunderi, Strath- 
cona, Minn., says: “ I cer¬ 
tainly like my Edwards 
Engine. Runs an 8-inch 
burr mill full capacity. 
.Has plenty of power and 
then some. It certainly 
works fine. I like its vary¬ 
ing speed and power and 
its light weight, it is so 
easy to move from job to 
job. Best and handiest en¬ 
gine I have ever seen or 
used and wouldn’t part 
with mine at any price if 
I couldn’t get another one 
and I wouldn’t go back to 
the old-fashioned heavy 
type engine to use as a gif t. 
The Edwards does all the 
company claims for it. 
“One of my neighbors 
was looking over my Ed¬ 
wards and I ran it for him 
and changed it all the way 
from 1 to 6 H. P. He will 
buy one right away. He is 
using a 4 H. P. at present 
but at times needs 6 H. P. 
so this would be the very 
engine he wants.” 
A. C. Lukehart, Dayton, 
Pa., says: ‘‘Well pleased 
with my Edwards and 
would not trade it for any 
other kind of engine that 
I know of as it is so handy 
to move from one job to 
another and the company 
has been fair and square 
to deal with.”

T New York Farm News 
Oneida Co.—The hay crop, which was 
good as to quantity and quality, was 
secured in good condition mostly. Oats 
harvest quite well. Some threshing 
done. Recent showers have started 
after feed. Some good pieces of corn, 
but mostly below standard. Potatoes 
have been looking good. Frost did con- 
sideraDle 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. 
Along the Southern Tier 
Tioga Co.—The 64th annual fair of 
the Tioga County Agricultural Society 
held on the first week in September was 
the best one ever held in this county. 
The attendance was the largest on rec¬ 
ord and the exhibits were of higher 
order in all departments. The seven 
Granges of the county each had an 
elaborate booth. The pageant which 
was given during the evenings, depict¬ 
ing the agricultural history of the 
county was a great success. Over 500 
people took part. During the first week 
in September the extremely dry weather 
was relieved by an excellent rain. The 
drought which has been quite severe 
this season has greatly retarded crops. 
The milk supply has been about cut in 
half. Some corn fields have been com¬ 
pletely ruined. Others look fairly good. 
Buckwheat is filling fairly well. The 
oat crop was heavy. Some potatoes 
were greatly benefited by recent rains. 
Motorists passing through say that ap¬ 
parently Tioga County showed less ef¬ 
fect of drought than most counties they 
passed through, and we thought we 
were all dried up.—C. A. B. 
Broome Co.—Considerable rain fell 
during the first week in September. 
Springs immediately began to show the 
effects of it. On the night of Septem¬ 
ber 10, the weather was very close to 
freezing. School began in most districts 
on September 4. There seems to be 
more teachers available than for many 
years. Many farmers are cutting wood 
or planning to do so in the near future. 
Buckwheat is being harvested.—M rs. 
L. K. C. 
In Western New York 
Erie Co.—Farmers are threshing and 
getting ready for winter in general. 
Wheat did not turn out very good. Po¬ 
tatoes and corn are doing- well. Hay 
was also good, now selling for $14 a 
ton. The help proposition is getting 
quite serious. Our boys and girls are 
going to the city where they can get 
higher wages. Butter is 51 cents a 
pound, eggs 40 cents a dozen.—M rs. 
A. C. 
Wayne Co.—While the acreage of 
beans in Wayne County this year is 
considerably larger' than that of last 
year, the dry weather has injured the 
crop to such an extent that the total 
yield of beans will be less than that of 
last year. We had a very long dry 
spell and many fields which were 
planted rather early began to yellow up 
and mature before the showers came in 
the latter part, of August and early 
September. It is very doubtful if the 
yield of beans will be on the average of 
15 to 18 bushels in contrast to yields of 
20 to 25 bushels normally.—E. R. W. 
Ontario Co.—We have had quite a 
dry spell, occasional showers, things 
look fairly well. Cabbage is quite 
small, looks like a short crop. Pota¬ 
toes are not turning out very well. If 
we only would get some rain it would 
help the wheat ground. Pastures are 
very thin.—H. D. S. 
New Grape Insect in Seneca 
A new grape bug has appeared in 
Seneca County, having been discovered 
in the Smith vineyards. 
In appearance the bug somewhat 
resembles the beetle. Its work is given 
to the leaves, causing them to wither 
and dry up. The experts at the Geneva 
Station failed to classify the bug with 
any previously reported, and an im¬ 
mediate special study was ordered on 
the insect. While it is reported that the 
vineyard men discovered the insect in 
time this year so that by the aid of the 
present sprays little damage was done, 
it is believed that the bugs would have 
worked much damage in time. As soon 
as all the facts are rounded up on the 
matter the station will report the new¬ 
comer.—A. H. P.
