of its kind in Pennsylvania, is to offer 
the poultry producers of the State an 
opportunity to place their birds in com¬ 
petition for egg and meat production. 
Professor Roy E. Jones, extension 
poultry man of Connecticut Agricultural 
College, will judge all birds.

with the Express Company for special 
baggage cars to transfer the birds to 
and from State College. This will in¬ 
sure a quick and safe journey for all 
birds.

single entry and $1 for pen entries, 
the latter consisting of one male and 
four females. For the cash prizes, the 
entry fee will be pooled and awarded 
as follows: 50 per cent for first prize, 
30 per cent for second, and 20 per 
cent for third prize of the total en¬ 
try fee in the respective classes. In 
addition, first, second, third, fourth,

Will Stage Auction Sale 
A public sale of twenty or more of 
the best cockerels bred on the College 
Poultry Plant is an added attraction.

bid for the beautiful silver cup given 
to the county scoring the highest num¬

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA NOTES 
J. N. GLOVER 
Silo filling is about done, October 
4, and corn cutting is in full swing. 
Corn is a fair crop, but not likely up 
to last year, though some persons say 
it is. Potatoes are being lifted and 
are selling along about $1 a bushel 
with a poor demand as persons are 
looking for lower prices, which are not 
likely to come. 
Winter apples are being picked and 
the crop is a good one for an off year. 
They sell from 30 cents to $1 per 
bushel, according to the kind and the 
buyer. Wheat seeding is nearly done, 
except the silo corn ground which is 
being seeded as the soil can be fitted 
for a good seed bed. Very little clover 
seed or second crop hay can or will 
be made, as nearly all grass fields had 
to be pastured and pastures are short 
generally. 
The Strickler-Kauffman farm in 
West Buffalo Township, Union County, 
of 147 acres, was sold at public sale 
for $16,100 to Thomas McCreary. It 
cost Mr. Strickler $11,000 a few years 
ago and he spent at least $16,000 on 
it in improvements, making it the most 
complete and up-to-date set of build¬ 
ings in that township. It has a brick 
house on it, a number of acres in 
alfalfa and a large hog pen, with all 
other necessary buildings in good 
shape. _ 
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA NOTES 
O, D. SCHOCK 
Potato growers report varying re¬ 
sults from certified potatoes purchased 
in widely separated potato growing dis¬ 
tricts. A consensus of reports gives 
Michigan grown seed stock as leading 
in quantity and quality of production. 
Russet varieties giving the largest 
yield. The eastern Pennsylvania grow¬ 
ers in many instances had their best re-' 
suits from home-gi’own seed. 
Lancaster tobacco growers cut and 
housed this season’s crop without any 
loss or damage from early frost. The 
crop in its entirety is of fair yield and 
quality, also some localities fell far 
short as a result of the long-protracted 
drought. _ 
NEW JERSEY FARM ORGANIZA¬ 
TIONS MEET ON LEGISLATION 
Joint action to secure a new cooper¬ 
ative marketing law in New Jersey was 
approved by representatives of all im¬ 
portant farm organizations and .institu¬ 
tions of the State, at a legislative 
conference of organized agricultural 
groups under the leadership of the New 
Jersey Federation of County Boards of 
Agriculture and the New Jersey State 
Grange, held jn Trenton on September 
21. The decision followed a spirited 
discussion on the legislative needs of 
farmers in New Jersey, with Pi’esident 
H. E. Taylor of the New Jersey Federa¬ 
tion as presiding officer. 
To Revise Hunting and Trespass Laws 
A committee composed of official rep¬ 
resentatives of the New Jersey Federa¬ 
tion of County Boards of Agriculture 
was also appointed to confer with the 
sportsmen’s associations of New Jersey 
for an understanding on matters at 
issue with public interests in the hunt¬ 
ing and trespassing laws. 
The chief work outlined for this com¬ 
mittee centers around the consideration 
of the open season for deer in the 
southern New Jersey counties, the post¬ 
ing of land against trespass and the 
penalty for wilful violations, the priv¬ 
ilege of farm owners to allow their 
dogs to run at liberty in the fields and 
woods on their own farms during any 
season of the year, and a closed season 
for pheasant and quail in areas badly 
infected with the Japanese beetle. 
Daylight Saving Gets Airing 
Daylight saving time also" came up 
for an airing. The confusion through¬ 
out the agricultural districts of the 
State and in certain city industries, 
reported at the conference, resulted in 
action by the farmers for a law this 
coming season which would make stand¬ 
ard time the official time in all muni¬ 
cipalities throughout the State. 
The agricultural groups will renew 
their efforts this year to secure the pas¬ 
sage of such amendments to the motor 
vehicle laws as will allow the carrying 
of farm products and milk in passenger 
cars without the necessity of a com¬ 
mercial license. Other changes pro¬ 
posed in this connection would regulate 
the use of auto or motor truck trailers. 
Another legislative proposal at the 
joint conference would make the Board 
of Health rules for milk uniform 
throughout the State, these in line with 
suggestions from the milk counties in 
northern and central New Jersey and 
similar to a measure well advanced in 
the Legislature last year-. 
MILK FIGHT ON IN WASHING¬ 
TON. D. C. 
A milk strike of considerable size is 
now on between the Maryland and 
Virginia Milk Producers’ Association 
and the milk dealers of Washington, 
D. C. The producers have already 
raised more than one hundred thousand 
dollars to establish distributing facili¬ 
ties in the city of Washington and 
thereby win their fight against the 
dealers. 
Says J. B. Snider, Senatobia, Miss. . . . 
“Eightyearsago we installed a “Z” engine. 
It has run eight to twelve hours a day, 
every day of the year since and is still 
giving wonderful service. Our repair bill 
has been less than ten dollars. We would 
not exchange it for any other engine we 
have ever seen or heard of,” 
Over 350,000 users have approved the “Z” 
Engine. No matter what your power requirements, 
there is a “Z” Engine to exactly suit your needs. 
Over 5,000 dealers carry these engines in stock 
and will save you money on freight.
