THE MAN 
FROM GUILFORD 
Is On the Job 
I T was a little ad like this 
that found for me a man 
who used to sell the AMERICAN 
Agriculturist. He wrote 
me in a hurry asking if I could 
use a good man this summer, 
but the mail man came before 
he had time to sign his name. 
Anyway, because of the ad, we 
met in Binghamton, N. Y., 
lately, got acquainted and are 
now at work together for the 
oldest and best farm paper in 
the East. I want to say, too, 
that there are still a few posi¬ 
tions in the sales force waiting 
to be filled. If you want to 
make good money while call¬ 
ing at farm homes as an 
American Agriculturist 
representative, write me and 
I will send you the details.

Eastern Pennsylvania Notes 
Oliver D. Schock 
I NQUIRIES at leading seed stores 
indicate that farmers will plant more 
yellow dent corn and russet varieties of 
potatoes than ever before. Good seed 
corn sells at $2 to $3 per bushel, seed 
potatoes $2.50 per bushel. The growers 
are disposing of their surplus potatoes in 
Eastern Pennsylvania at 75 to 85 cents 
per bushel. 
The numerous . extensive contracts 
awarded for the construction of improved 
state highways will absorb a large amount 
of labor that ordinarily would find em¬ 
ployment on farms. There is no prospect 
of obtaining any cheaper farm help this 
season. Apropos of the present high 
costs o( farm operations, a conservative 
authority places the following schedule as 
fairly representative: Farm help per 
month with board, $45, without board 
$70; by the day with board $2.75, without 
board, $3.50. Where industrial plants 
are numerous and active, good farm help 
can scarcely be secured even at the 
advanced wages. 
The tobacco growers of Lancaster, 
York, Berks, Tioga and other counties 
are preparing to plant a larger area than 
in 1923. While the crop was not ab¬ 
normal in production, the quality was 
decidedly superior. 
Pennsylvania trout fishermen _ were 
disappointed, the opening date bringing 
but few reports of well-filled creels, due 
to swollen, ice cold streams. The num¬ 
ber of fishermen’s licenses issued was 
unparalleled. It was not uncommon for 
applicants past eighty years to secure 
licenses, one person giving his age at 91 
years.__

T HE last farm sale was held on April 
12, and stock brought good prices. 
Corn stubble is being turned for oats and 
sod for corn. IMost of the manure has 
been hauled out onto sod for corn. Oats 
seeding is under way. 
Some orchards are being sprayed for 
the first time this season and a few 
orchards have been trimmed. _ Clover 
seed is being sown and garden digging is 
in full blast. A carload of certified seed 
potatoes were unloaded at Lewisburg 
recently. 
There is not much sale for fat cattle 
and bologna cows. Many farmers are 
having their herds tested for tuberculosis. 
Corn fodder and hay are very much in 
demand and no hay need be shipped from 
the county of Union this spring, as it is 
all needed at home. Roads are getting in 
better shape since they were dragged. 
A new home will be built this summer 
for the Mifflinburg Bank, which has 
occupied the same building for nearly 
fifty years and it is too small for their 
business. A few farmers have made 
loans through the Land Bank of Balti¬ 
more, which has a branch in the counties 
in this section.
