New York State Notes 
Tlie Madison County Holstein Club at 
their recent meeting passed the following 
resolution : “Itesolved, that we, the mem¬ 
bers of the Madison County llolstein* 
Friesian Club, express our .satisfaction 
with the work which is being accom¬ 
plished in the eradication of tuberculosis, 
and hereby request that all possible ef¬ 
forts be made for the continuation of this 
work without delays due to lack of in¬ 
demnity money. And we especially urge 
that there 'he no curtailment in State in¬ 
demnity money. And we especially urge 
that no curtailment in State indemnity 
be made which will stop the testing of 
new herds this year. Further, that copies 
of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. 
B. A. Pyrlce, Commissioner of Farms 
and Markets, and E. It. Zimmer, secre¬ 
tary of the New York State llolsteiu- 
Freisinn Breeders' Association." 
As has been the practice for the New 
York State Fruit Testing Association, 
which has its headquarters at the State 
Experiment Station at Geneva, a list of 
new fruits which are available has beeu 
sent to the members of the association. 
The offerings this year include new seed¬ 
ling varieties originated at the experi¬ 
ment station, as well as a few noteworthy 
kinds not now generally grown in the 
State. The chief object of the Fruit 
Testing Association is to co-operate with 
the State Association in further testiug, 
production, sale and distribution of new 
and valuable fruits. Any fruit grower in 
the State is eligible upon the payment of a 
small fee. 
There is a growing feeling that sun¬ 
flowers have a place iu the consideration 
of those things that are best for silage, 
especially iu the areas that have a high 
elevation. The following are some of the 
interesting findings of the four main tests 
throughout the State: The tests were 
made at Churchville. Monroe County, at 
an elevation of GOO ft. Another test 
was at Ithaca. Totnpkius County, ai an 
elevation of 900 ft. Still another at Al¬ 
fred. Allegany County, which is at an 
elevation of 1,400 ft. The highest point 
selected was at Barto Hill, in Herkimer 
County, at an elevation of 1,600 ft. In 
getting the figures down to tons, there 
was a yield of sunflowers per acre, green 
weight, 19 tons, as compared with yield 
of the corn of 10 tons per acre under 
similar conditions. The sunflowers had 
a higher percentage of moisture than did 
the corn. In* dry weight there were 3.8 
tons per acre, as compared with approxi¬ 
mately 2.5 tons of corn. Much could be 
said, however, on both sides as to the 
comparative value of the two plants. One 
thing is outstanding with regard to the 
sunflower, and that is the varieties that 
are now offered for sale in many cases 
have such a large head that they’ do not 
mature early enough, and the large varie¬ 
ties are heavy to harvest;. They do pre¬ 
sent an attractive feature in covering the 
ground to the extent that comparatively 
few weeds survive in the fields. 
The Allcgany-Steuben Holstein Club 
has again had a successful sale; 117 head 
of cattle were sold, and the total sale 
amounted to $16,680. C. 8. Zeliff & Son 
sold a cow to Glen Warner of Cuba. N. Y., 
for $150, ami a calf to the same buyer 
for $300. N. E. Coston of Greenwood 
disposed of 20 head for $3,000. There are 
a number of reasons for the success of the 
sale, but one very important one cannot 
be overlooked, and that is the fact that 
these cattle came from the section of the 
State where (lie number of tuberculosis 
animals is not great. 
The Producers’ Co-operative Commis¬ 
sion Association, which opened business 
on November 1 at Buffalo, handled 81 
cars of livestock the first week, and stood 
second among the list of 15 commission 
merchants of the market. The new asso¬ 
ciation was organized under the auspices 
of tlie National Live Stock Producers’ 
Association, and is producer-owned and 
controlled. Members an.* drawn from 
New York, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. 
8. L. Strivings represents New York on 
the hoard of directors, and is treasurer 
of the association. 
About 750 growers are now shipping 
their fruit through the Western New 
York Fruit Growers’ Co-operative Asso¬ 
ciation, which operates largely iu West¬ 
ern New York anti in the Finger Lakes 
region. Already over 3,500 cars have 
beeu shipped or are now in storage from 
the crops of these growers. The car 
shortage caused a minimum loss to the 
growers during the Season. A most strik¬ 
ing example of this is shown in the case 
of the peach crop, where only 800 of the 
200.000 bn. of peaches were dumped. 
There are 40 local packing-houses of this 
association at the present time, and plans 
are being made so that the crops from 
these houses are distributed as far as pos¬ 
sible throughout the entire season. The 
association is selling apples, pe >rs, 
peaches, plums, primes and quinces under 
the Cataract brand. 
The Geneva Experiment Station issues 
a warning concerning foreign clover and 
Alfalfa seed that is being brought iuto 
this country. 11 was thought that the 
recent tariff would have an effect on the 
amount of seed brought to this country, 
but the tariff was not large enough to 
prevent foreign competition. e. a, f.

Butter and eggs have gone up again, 
but as a rule the report of “liberal re¬ 
ceipts” is enough to show a weak mar¬ 
ket. Holiday demand for poultry keeps

A Champion Record 
Laudholm Delight is a Guernsey heifer owned by Charles E. 
Lord, of Wells, Maine. Her official yearly record at a little 
over two years old in class GG is 12,541 pounds of milk and 
607.58 pounds of butterfat. 
She carried her second calf 275 days during the test and produced a 
normal, healthy calf, and maintained perfect health and stamina through¬ 
out the entire testing period. Her exclusive grain ration during the test¬ 
ing period was Red Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed (no other grain feed of 
any kind was fed) and she never ate less than nine pounds or more than 
thirteen pounds of it per day. 
Upon completion of her record Laudholm Delight ranked sixth best 
Guernsey cow of her class in the world, and Champion Guernsey cow of 
the New England States. 
made this record possible and as stated, Red Brand Tl-O-GA Dairy Feed 
constituted her exclusive grain ration. Red Brand Tl-O-GA Dairy Feed 
was fed in conjunction with corn silage and hay as specified by TI-O-GA 
Feed Service. 
If you will use the TI-O-GA Dairy Feed that forms a balance with 
your roughage as the exclusive grain ration, your cows will produce the 
maximum amount of milk of which they are capable. 
To add any other feed will unbalance the ration; the results will not 
be as good and the cost of production will be increased. This is true 
whether the addition is a cheap feed or a high concentrate. 
The uniform nutritive standard of Tl-O-GA Dairy Feeds is always 
maintained. The results obtained have proven the standard correct and 
nothing should be added to TI-O-GA Dairy Feeds. 
Red Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with low protein succulent roughage: Silage, Pastur¬ 
age, Green Fodder, etc. 
White Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with medium protein dry roughage: Timothy Hay, 
Mixed Hay, Corn Fodder, etc. 
Blue Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with high protein dry roughage: Clover Hay, Alfalfa, etc.
