MILK CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN NEW 
YORK. 
The milk shipping section is not ex¬ 
actly burned up, but it is very dry. Pas¬ 
tures are furnishing almost nothing, and 
what is found there is not of the milk¬ 
making kind. Most farmers in my own 
locality say that they have never known 
a time when the condition for milk was 
so bad. I am not going to say that or 
the reverse; I only know that it is very 
difficult to keep up a good flow of milk 
even by feeding green fodder and grain. 
As for green fodder, it is mostly dry now, 
but oats and peas fed to cows are a great 
help. Buckwheat is fed in one or two 
instances that I know and some corn- 
fodder is used. Com, however, has not 
had so bad a look in a long time as at 
present. There will not be enough to 
fill silos as usual, to say nothing of 
feeding this Fall. I will not say that 
farmers are discouraged, but it is evi¬ 
dent that they are not encouraged by the 
present condition. To add to the dis¬ 
comfiture the price of feeds is rapidly 
advancing. I am not saying that the 
price is higher than present conditions 
warrant, although that may be surmised, 
but the conditions are such that it seems 
as though dealers may be able to hold 
most of the feeds as high as at present. 
There may be a falling off on corn a lit¬ 
tle later, but the prospect is that feeds 
may be as high as at present all Winter. 
Possibly they may be higher. I am not 
buying at present, but might buy if I 
saw a good opening even now. The 
man who did most of his buying a month 
ago, or in some cases earlier, did the 
best thing. 
The topic of much concern is the Win¬ 
ter price of milk. I had a talk with the 
manager of one of the Borden plants the 
other day, and he assured me that there 
would be no considerable advance in 
milk prices to the farmer unless the price 
of milk can be raised in the city. The 
dealers have a notion that they should 
get enough for the milk they' sell all 
through the Winter to enable them to 
make good profits, and then sell for the 
same prices in Summer when milk costs 
them only about half as much. It is not 
impossible that the price may be raised 
this Winter to the city buyer, and in 
that case there may be a small advance 
to the farmer. If no advance to the re¬ 
tail trade then I can see but small chance 
for us in the country to get much more 
than in former years. The old price will 
probably mean a smaller production this 
Winter, but the dealers have a chance to 
hold as they choose. The question of 
advancing retail prices is partly with the 
consumer. If he says he will not pay a 
higher price there will be a cut in con¬ 
sumption if the price is advanced. Meats 
are high now, with the prospect that 
they 'will remain so, aud it might be pos¬ 
sible to advance the price of milk with¬ 
out much difficulty. If advanced in Win¬ 
ter and then dropped in Summer when 
the dealers are buying for low prices it 
would seem fairer than one price for the 
entire year, and that price made such 
that the dealers can make a good thing 
on the highest prices they have to pay, 
and a great big profit on the lower prices. 
There is too much cost somewhere be¬ 
tween the farm and the consumer. Farm¬ 
ers will be disappointed this Fall if the 
price of milk is not advanced consider¬ 
ably from what it has been for some years 
past. The expected date for the price to 
be announced is September 15. 
II. n. LYON. 
Making Milk Prices. 
TJhe following is found in a local 
paper: 
“Oneida, Aug. 23.—At a meeting held 
a day or two ago the dairymen haul¬ 
ing their milk to the Adams crossing 
station, voted to demand four cents per 
quart, or $1.60 per 40-quart can for the 
month of September. The New York 
dealers are paying $1.50 a can for Au¬ 
gust milk, hut the dairymen insist that 
is insufficient, aud they must have $1.60 
for the September milk. 
“The short pastures has caused a big 
shortage in milk, and the producers 
claim that if they do not want to market 
it at a loss they will have to have an in¬ 
crease. Local peddlers have raised the 
milk from six to seven cents a quart, but 
it is not expected that a further raise 
will be necessary.” 
We do not always find newspaper re¬ 
ports reliable, but we hope this one is. 
It is high time farmers had something to 
say about the price which is to be paid 
for what they produce. Every other 
manufacturing class attempts to estab¬ 
lish a price which will leave a fair mar¬ 
gin of profit. When the price runs so 
low that there is no profit the manufac¬ 
turers stop making the goods. When 
farmers talk of holding off the milk for 
the same reason there is a fierce outcry 
because milk is a “necessity.” Of course 
a living price for a farmer is not a ne¬ 
cessity from this line of reasoning, but 
the world will be better off just as soon 
as such necessity is recognized. We hope 
these Oneida County farmers will stand 
out for their four ceuts.
