NEW YORK COUNTY NOTES 
Suffolk Co.—The open winter has been a 
Godsend to cauliflower and brussel-sprouts 
growers on the east end of Long Island. We 
are enjoying very mild weather .arid farmers are 
still able to cut cauliflower which brings a high 
price. Ordinary field cutting stops around the 
first of December. The potato market is slug¬ 
gish. Growers and shippers are hoping for cold 
weather now, which will undoubtedly 
strengthen the price.—C. D. 
Schnectady Co.—Winter weather was most 
unusual up to December 24 when snow cov¬ 
ered the ground. Eggs 50c a dozen, butter 45c, 
calves 16}/2C. Hay is bringing from $20 to $22 
a ton, buckwheat $11 a bushel, chickens 16c 
live weight. Pork is bringing 9c dressed, heavy 
pork 5c.—J. W. G. 
Essex Co.—The ground is now frozen, but 
up to December 12 it was possible to plow. 
Rain has filled wells and streams, and relieved 
the water shortage. Coal prices in this section 
are prohibitive. Those who have to buy wood 
find one as bad as the other. Coal is $15.50 
a ton and wood $8 a cord. Cows are holding 
out very well. Eggs 60c to 70c a dozen.—

WALTER LUX 388 Salem St., WOBURN, MASS. 
Chautauqua Co.—No winter weather so 
far to speak of and here it is almost the end of 
December. The flow of milk is keeping up well 
for the season. Many cows are still out in the 
pasture. Hay is scarce and high bringing any¬ 
where from $12 to $20 a ton in the barn. 
Many farmers are selling wood, which is bring¬ 
ing a good price and helps out the farm income. 
Taxes are higher than usual, being $36 on a 
thousand valuation. Farmers were never 
harder up and business men find it hard to 
collect bills. — H. A- N. 
Genesee Co. — -The mild weather with plenty 
of rain and recent snow has helped wheat 
which is looking fine. Some farmers are cut¬ 
ting wood and getting $6 a cord for hard wood. 
Hay prices are around $13 a ton. Potatoes 
are bringing only 55c for carlot shipments. 
The market on apples is dull. Some farmers 
are holding potatoes for a higher price. — J. C. 
v Ontario Co.—Up to the middle of December 
we had excellent fall weather. No cold at all. 
Butter and eggs are scarce and high. Farmers 
did an awful lot of fall plowing this year.—
