DO YOU KNOWTHAT PORTO RICO’S TOBACCO 
IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD? 
T HE Delaware County Farm and 
Home Bureau Association held a' 
very successful annual meeting' at Delhi 
on October 25th. Practically every 
community in the large county was 
represented and the old Town Hall was 
well crowded with the earnest men and 
women who believe in and support 
these worthwhile organizations. The 
morning was devoted to an interesting 
business session and the afternoon 
chiefly to two addresses, one by E. R. 
Eastman, Editor of American Agricul¬ 
turist on “The Rural School Bill” and 
the other by Dr. Ruby Green Smith of 
the New York State College of Agricul¬ 
ture on “Community Life and the Farm 
and Home Bureau.” 
Perhaps the most striking thing 
about the meeting was the way in 
v^hich nearly all of the other farm 
organizations of Delaware County were 
connected with the Farm Bureau. For 
instance, a committee which had been 
investigating poultry conditions in the 
county reported to the meeting through 
Mr. W. C. Fisher; the organized bee¬ 
keepers made a report through Mr. 
Meade Elderkin; W. F. Sanford gave a 
report on the work of the cauliflower 
growers; John Gosper outlined the 
progress made by the County Breeders’ 
Association. The Franklin Cow Test¬ 
ing Association reported through Mr. 
James Reid and the Andes Cow Test¬ 
ing Association was made by L. J. 
Frisbee. H. W. Harper gave a very 
interesting report illustrated with 
charts on the tuberculosis situation in 
Delaware County. All of these reports 
were in addition to the splendid prog¬ 
ress report made by the Farm and 
Home BuFeau.

WM. J. RODRIGUEZ, P.0. Box253, San German, PORTO RICO 
Salem Co.—The sweet potato crop is 
very short. The early drouth hurt and 
retarded its development. Late potato 
crop is an uncertain quantity at pres¬ 
ent. A great deal depends on how long 
killing frosts hold off. Hay is very 
scarce. Most farmers in this section 
will have to buy their hay. Eggs also 
are very scarce and high. Tomatoes 
are as cheap as dirt. The pear crop is 
light.—S. B. ' _

Broome Co.—We are having some 
very excellent weather. The trees have 
now taken on their most beautiful 
colors. Silos are full, threshing is 
about finished, potato digging is about 
completed. The potato crop turned out 
much better than expected. There is 
lots of game this year and hunters 
make it unsafe for one to go near the 
woods. Butter, 50 to 55 cents a pound; 
eggs, 60 cents a dozen; fowls and 
chickens, 35 cents a pound.—L. K. C. 
In Western New York 
Ontario Co.—We have been having 
excellent weather for fall work, digging 
potatoes, picking apples. Fall feed is 
good and plentiful. T^e hay market 
is stronger.—H. D. S. 
Corn husking will be the main job 
for some time. The crop is not quite 
dry enough to crib in la/ge amounts, 
but the weather is favorable for the 
work. “Tail-enders” filled their silos 
with dry frost-killed corn. 
Wheat seeding was finished under 
very favorable conditions to start the 
young crop. Potatoes are practically 
t all dug and are going to market from 
75 cents to $1 a bushel. Apple picking 
is about over, the crop selling anywhere 
from 60 cents to $1.25 per bushel for 
good stock. Many apples are being 
trucked to the mining towns where 
they bring as high as $1.75. Two cow 
sales were held at Brook Park this 
week, stock bringing from $41 to $121. 
Springers and heifers did not sell, as 
few farmers have enough dry feed to 
winter the extra stock. G. C. Slifer 
had his herd of registered Holsteins 
tested for tuberculosis recently. No re¬ 
actors were found. Several farmers 
are getting loans from the Federal 
Land Bank in order to give them ample 
time to improve and pay for their 
farms. 
Wyoming Co.—Owing to unusually 
fine weather during the first three 
weeks of October, practically the entire 
potato crop has been harvested. No 
high yields are reported but the quality 
of the crop is good. Farmers are not 
sealing many as yet, as the price of¬ 
fered is only 65 to 70 cents a bushel. 
Butter 55 cents a pound, eggs 55 cents 
a dozen. Beans are being threshed 
and fair yields are reported. The crop 
is moving to market very slowly.— 
L. M. F. 
Genesee Co.—An epidemic of cerebro¬ 
spinal meningitis, also known as forage 
poisoning, has broken out among live 
stock in various parts of the land. This 
is particularly true with horses. Al¬ 
ready several head have died and a 
number of other cases have been re¬ 
ported. Since the outbreak many farm¬ 
ers have had their animals vaccinated. 
—W. H. 
Snyder Co.—We have been having 
excellent autumn weather with heavy 
fi’ost. Corn is practically all cut and 
farmers busy husking. Wheat is look¬ 
ing good. Pastures are fine. Late 
potatoes turning out good. Winter 
apples made a fair crop. Silos were all 
filled. Wheat $1 a busbel; corn $1 a 
bushel; oats 40 cents; rye 70 cents; but¬ 
ter 40 cents a pound; eggs 42 cents a 
dozen. Flour $6 a barrel; 3 per cent 
milk $2.71 a hundred; 4 per cent, $3.11 
a hundred. Folks are generally in good 
health. Some reports of flu and 
colds.—S. D. D.

New Jersey farmers have been suf¬ 
fering from one of the worst dry spells 
in years. In fact the drouth became so 
acute that many industries in Jersey 
towns and cities were on the verge of 
closing down, due to the shortage of 
water. Many towns were so em¬ 
barrassed by the water suppiy that 
rationing was being seriously contem¬ 
plated. Farmers suffered likewise, 
never-failing wells even going dry. 
However during the week of October 
22, torrential rains relieved the situa¬ 
tion. In fact the rains came with a 
vengeance for considerable damage was 
done by the storm. Floods were re¬ 
ported and damage from wind was ex¬ 
treme in many cases. 
Milk prices prevailing in the retail 
trade are quoted as follows: Erie, 
Harrisburg and Philadelphia, 13 cents 
per quart; Pittsburgh, 15 cents; Scran¬ 
ton and Reading, 14 cents. Dealers 
buying prices for milk testing 3% per 
cent vary from $.0527 to $.0806 per 
quart. Harrisburg is paying from 
$.0502 to $.0662 to the producer in bulk. 
A recent visit to the counties of 
Lehigh, Berks, Lebanon, Dauphin, 
Cumberland, Franklin and Perry reveal 
wheat fields in excellent condition. The 
germination of the seed and plant de¬ 
velopment is most favorable this fall.
