During the past three years or more the farmer has been fighting against odds in the sale and distri bution of his products. Coupled with poor yields in some cases, and a de cided over-production with some crops and a consequent low price, the income on most of our farms has been below the cost of mainten- i ance. In addition, the costs on machinery, clothing and other arti cles which the farmer must buy have been about as high as during the war and considerably out of propor tion as compared with the prices of farm products. With the high cost of labor and high taxes the farmer has had a dif ficult situation to meet- During the past few months there has been a tendency for conditions to improve and prices on the aver age are higher. According to statis tics during July just past the aver age price of all farm products of New York state were 57 per cent above pre-war pri ces. During the same month the average price of all products those of the farm as wTell as manufactured goods were 54 per cent above pre-war prices. Wheat, one of our cash crops, has sold below the cost of production^ which has been a discouraging fac tor. There seems, however, little change in price until later in the season as there was a considerable carry-over and European countries do not have the buying power neces sary to consume the grain in large quantities. The price of milk is bet ter than usual with prospects of its going higher. Higher milk prices will be reflected in the price of good cows. Hay is bringing better prices than last year and although the yield of potatoes and cabbage are lower than the average the prices will be higher. This also applies to fruit. Every thing considered the outlook is brighter than it was last fall- To Sell or Not to Sell. There is quite a difference of opin ion among farmers as to the best time to sell the various crops. With some, every time they sell in the fall prices go up later in the season and they feel that they should have waited a little longer. With others it is vice versa, they hold on and usually hold too long and the price goes below what it had been earlier in the season. It is a very difficult matter to guess or gamble on the future in so far as prices are concerned. The rfian who adopts some plan and sticks to it is the one who wins ^our times out of five. It is best to make a practice of selling a crop every year when it is ready for, market Or make a practice of holding every! year> until a certain ‘Jtim^vaudi following.• ,Year after ye&i^.you are, sureLto tvim Let the other fellow' do:. the gambling. ■ ' ! / v 1 V , The Summer Silo* , i < i ' A shortage of pasture in dry sea sons, such as has been experienced this past summer^ > makes supple menting the dairy' ration with .either silage or green forage necessary. Practical dairymen are, ftiore and more each year, making provision for sufficient ensilage to feed, a small amount at least, during these dry periods. This is done by erect ing an additional silo where herds are large enough to warrant it or by making the initial silos large enough to carry over ensilage for summer feeding. This is good business. The prices of dairy pro ducts are usually better during the period of low production and with enough succulent food in the ration such as ensilage or forage crops, the milk flow will be maintained. Some dairymen go as far as to keep their herds up altogether during July and August if the weather is too dry and hot and the flies troublesome. Dusting Versus* Spraying Apples. Lockport Grower Finds Dusting Superior. In a recent issue of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Henry Prahlere of Lockport, reports an in teresting experiment with dust and liquid spray on his thirty-eight acre orchard- • His conclusions are de cidedly in favor of dusting. He states there are plenty of apples on his dusted trees, but estimate a loss of 80 per cent of his crop on the liquid sprayed trees. According to Mr. Prahler, the liquid spray failed to control scab and caused an addi tional injury to the blossom. The fact that dusting required much less labor and could be done in less time was emphasized as an important fac tor in the result. In concluding, Mr. Prahler says, “Anybody can look at my 228 old trees and see the differ ence in the set nf fruit. It must be j that the liquid lime-sulphur caused an additional injury to the blos soms in the conditions they were in and at their stage of growth, and : thus caused a big loss of fruit, as compared with the dusted trees.” The Grange Growing Organization That Offers Real Opportunities for Country. Each year the Grange enjoys a healthy growth both in individual membership and new subordinate trganizations* Its principles are rightly founded and its work has been of great value to rural de velopment. The social, educational, moral and political phases of coun try life are not overlooked on the Grange program. The development of leadership has been one of its most worth while results. Many of our prominent men in agriculture today will credit the Grange with a large measure of their success. Strong leadership by practical men is what the country needs more than anything else. Young men and young women especially should take advantage , of the splendid opporun- ity which this organization offers them. The future will bring forth greater and greater demands for trained leaders for agricultual busi ness. The farm boys and girls with a background of fundamental train ing should shoulder the responsibili ty of filling this need. Fall Plowing Orchards, When the orchard is fall-plowed more time will be available for other work during the rush season in the spring. Plowing can be done any time after harvest, or with young trees, as soon as they become dor mant- Fall plowings helps in con- troling diseases. Diseased leaves and fruit are buried beneath the soil, where spores -which, carry over the disease vwill not develop and , reach the trees early in the spring, ;There-' isf»ar ,dtecv^niage also 'irr' conservih£ by fall plowing. The loose soil will take up more water and it will be possible to hold this moisture by earlier cul tivation. Fruit Growers Extend Organization. With the aid of the American Farm Bureau Federation^ Co-opera^- tive Fruit Growers’ Association, of which a number are now operating in New York State, are extending the development of a national grow ers’ sales organization for fruits. This method of marketing is gain ing in favor with our farmers. it relieves them of the responsibilities of selling and at the same time as sures them of fair prices. The asso ciation sells only standardized grades or packs and is building up a reputation for its products- With a large supply of fruit, equipped with storage facilities an organization of this kind can dispose of its fruit at the proper time and place to de mand the most satisfactory prices for its members. Tree Injures Child Robert, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. McElligott, of Main street, was painfully injured on Friday, while at play in his yard of his home. The lad was playing about a tree stump which was only partially severed from its roots. The workmen cut the roots which held it and, as they did so, the stump toppled, throwing the boy to the ground . and fracturing his leg in two places- He was otherwise bruised. was taken to the S. & S. Memorial Hospital, where he is resting comfortably. , Improving i I The many friends of Harry C. Earles, editor of the Penn Yan Dem ocrat,, arp pleased to learn that his condition is not as serious as was at first suposed. It was at first thought fch,at he was suffering from a paralytic, stroke, but further ex amination disclosed a bad case of uremic poisoning. While he is still very ill his friends hope for a speedy and full recovery. Needs Officer Watkins seems to have a need for a traffic officer. In August last Miss Tacy Leonard was knocked down and killed in that village by a car driven by Kenneth Inscho of Starkey, and on Sunday, Oct. 6 , Miss Betsy’ Van Allen was knocked down and badly injured by a Fran- , cis McMillan of Ovid. Miss Van Allen’s Pekinese dog, valued at $500e which was accompanying her, was run over and killed. Honor Roll Open Theatre < * _ t The Cornwell Opera House is be ing refinished and remodeled.

W e wish to add, that, not withstanding the strides which air transportation has made, the build ers and users of the roads which are being built today will never live to see the time when their roads will not be used. They will have Build Good Roads before their money shall have been “wasted” on roads that will not be used. Continue to build good roads, for Just now the motor traffic prob lem is beginning. It has not reach ed 'i ts * apex. i and will not for many years* Penn Yan Locals Part No. 3 of the Penn Yan-Potter or Marcus Whitman Highway, is now under construction. A good road with a boulder block- it is of no more value than if it did not exist. For “boulder'' read “snow” and get the problem winch the middle and northern half of the United States has to face every year. A good road covered with deep snow is of no more value than if it did not exist! The Bureau of Public Roads of the Department. of Agriculture makes a defiite effort every year to try to interest more and more high way officials in the matter of keep ing snow-bound roads open to traf fic- More and more every year both State highway departments and county road officials are seeing the wisdom of spending some money for snow removal. Experiment has proven that a snow plough attached to a wagon and pulled by two or four horses, can clear, inexpensively, enough of a highway of snow to enable it to be used. On very well traveled roads a complete snow removal is necessary, but for many highways, a partial snow shoveling meets the demands of the traffic, naturally lowered in amount by cold weather. It is slowly but surely beet i /ling recognized that the main roa <.i are as much needed to keep down the cost of living and keep up tb : do ing of business as are the main streets of cities and towns. The in dividual shovels his own path from door to street; the town shoulders the responsibility of keeping the street open to traffic; why should not thecounty keep its main trunk line open and the State do the same service for its principal highways? In its last analysis it is up to the voter; if he wants open roads he can have them by saying so. If he wants to save money by being snowed up, he is the greatest suf ferer! It has been necessary, owing to the excessive drought to remove fish from streams in New York State. Here's something to think about: In Bath, N.

The new prices are: Chestnut, stove and egg, $15; peae $12.75; soft coal, $10. Lo cal dealers who have received some quotations from jobbers, quote $12.50 per ton at the mines. This with over $3*00 per ton freight addl ed would necessitate charging. at least $18 per ton • However; it is thought that later prices will settle Fall Fashions Tailored Suits, For the early days of autumn, there is nothing quite so smart as the ever essential tailored suit, which has come into its own again, and women in this country do not have to be urged to adopt this mode. The dominant note in the early Fall suits are the immaculate tailored lines of slenderizing sim plicity. Twills of various materials have been chosen for these suits, but some are made of the thinner pile fabrics, such as veldyne, velora, vellona and Duvet de Laine. These look like heavy velvet, so deep are their shallows and so lovely their surfaces. And however lovely the fabrics are this season, their tailor ing makes them more lovely. Some autumn suits are distinctly mannish in style and are amazingly popular. The box back suit with a hip length jacket in novelty cloths is liked among the. youthful models. All the skirts are smart lap-over or sheath models, giving the long svelte line decreed for Fall. The smart, new thp ee-quartered or knee length coat has apparently come to stav for the rest of the season- There are belted and unbelted effects. The unbelted ones give the straight line from the shoulders to ankle without a break, without a vestige of a waist line, without a sign of a flare, Sleeves appear long, slim and straight. The three piece suit still holds its place as a happy combination of street and dress style. With coat removed, seated at lunch or at the theatre, * only the blouse shows. This can be as elaborate or simple as the occasion call for. Women are loath to give up the becoming ness and charm of light materials near the face, and as collars have yet to make their appeal for after noon dresses and formal occasions the costume suit with a part of the frock hidden is sure to be favored. Many of the smartest tailleurs are designed to be worn with one’s own furs. Others are lavishly fur effects in fur pockets and novel fur borders as well as in collars and cuffs. Ruffs and Bows When summer furs became the vogue, the saner women took a de cided dislike to fur scarfs no matter what the season and having learned to do without them, they are loath to swathe their throats now in heavy fur. But the suit requires a finishing touch at that sppt, and ruffs and bows are back- Pretty ruffs of pleated or gathered velvet are worn for early autumn street and afternoon occasions. They are silk lined and have a silk flower at the fastening, silk net, very full and crisp and a finishing knot of ribbon. Another * good neck scarf is of marabout shown in straight-around collars and in boas of different lengths. Some are. .practical shoul der scarfs,long and wide in many beautiful shades. It is considered distinctly swagger to wear anauffler of y:ool or silk with the tailleur in mauve, gray, brown,black ’ or white or in any fancy Roman stripes. * Sportswear Scotland asserts itself in sports wear. Bright plaids which claim their origin from the Scott ish clans are among the new autumn fashions. There is, also, the sports suit with that envied “English” air, fashioned from the softest English woolens in new weaves. These tailored two piece Sports suits are foremost favorites because of their all-around adaptability and general appeal of these smart, simple styled suits' lies in their happy versatility, they are equally trim for street wear,for business, and for week-end trips- Two piece models in stripes, plaids, and tweed mixtures offer a wide selection for smart service ability.. Then there are the tweed knicker suits, the kind the college girl will delight in. Fashioned of all wool tweed in warm shades of gray and brown, the coat is wtil tailored, with patch pockets and box pleat down the back. The wrap around skirt opens full length, revealing roomy, well cut knickerbockers so essential to the hiker’s and golfer’s wardrobe. Another model has a plain coat with a convertible collar and slit potkets. A ,narrow belt gives a smart finishing line. The coat is equally good-looking when worn with the swagger knickers or the well-fitting skirt. i Sweaters One of the smartest sweater notes of the new season is the chappie coat style, that serves either as a sweater or jacket, and comes in grayest designs. These are especally good looking because they are the soft brushed yarns, with collars that fasten at the neck or, turn down Tuxedo fashion. They fasten to the side with ornamental buttons and come in effective combinations, camel and brown, navy and silver, black and white, all henna, gray and 4 alpaca brown. HON.

Runs Into Truck In Fog; Badly Injured ♦ Harry Williams, son of Warner Williams, of Pulteney, was painful ly injured on Monday when the Ford automobile which he was driving collided with the truck of Burkhart Jacobs, of this village, which was parked alongside the road near the old Borgman cider mill. The truck was loaded with flue pipes which* ! Jacobs was taking to a nearby place,. ! and as there was a dense fog, the? ; Williams lad failed to see the truck. As a result he ran his car full tilt into it. One of the pipes on the truck penetrated the car and struck ______ Williams on the side of the head, - mt i i c ■ j j i., ‘ 4 rendering him unconscious.

Fans Hear Returns i Change o f Managers Arthur R. Nelson, who for the past few years has been manager of the local exchange of the New York Telephone Company, hast been trans ferred to Albion exchange, Albion, N. Y. The Albion district covers much more territory than the local one. S. M. English, of Binghamton, will take Mr. Nelson's place in the Penn Yan Exchange.

The “Yanks” won the four gamesj and put their opponents in the shade* Great interest was manifested hereabouts, and the re turns. were received by radio at the garage of Charles Spague on Jacob street. There were other local radios which “butted in,” but the crowd assembled in front of the Sprague garage each afternoon to hear the announcer give the j results. The radio seems to have come to stay. Many local people are installing sets in their homes to [ amuse themselves during the wintter] months. It is not only a pleasant, but it is “an interesting and instructive pastime. ----------♦— ----- - Companies Incorpor ated in Yates Auto ♦ Turns Turtle Banquet Postponed Judging from a comparative state ment issued by Secretary of State James A. Hamilton, covering the ac tivities of the state’s corporation bureau during the past nine months, as agaist the same period a year ago, business ceditions are pretty good. While something less than 200 con cerns were incorporated last month under August totals, the nine manths run far ahead of a year ago- Real estate is still in the lead. New companies incorporating last month included one which will repair radio sets, while another proposes to bring hope for the bald through a tonic. In Yates countye there were seven companies incorporated during the past nine months, these showing a combined capitalization of $439,500 during the same period last year. At a meeting of the Penn Yan Council, Knights of Columbus, it was voted to postpone the banquet which was to have been held at the Benham Hotel on Thursday evening last until a later date, announce ment of which will be niade later.
