Notes on Dairy Conditions 
In this intensive dairying section cows 
have come through the Winter in splendid 
condition. The' present outlook is for the 
largest flow of milk ever known here. In 
spite of the prevailing notion that an 
open Winter is followed by a light hay 
crop, the pastures and meadows look very 
promising. Fewer calves are being raised 
than ever before. Most of the milk in 
this section goes to _ Bainbridge. The 
dairymen, through their local League or¬ 
ganization. have leased their plants to the 
Dry Milk Company of New York. Every 
stockholder is entitled to one vote. The 
directors call a meeting whenever an im¬ 
portant matter is to be brought up. So, 
you see. in this little section, at least, the 
production end of the business is wholly 
in the hands of the individual producers. 
At this writing very few cows are chang¬ 
ing hands, excepting a few which have 
been milked all Winter. The farmers, al¬ 
most without exception, are not satisfied 
with the present method of setting the 
milk price. It seems to them that no 
method of such price-making can be fair 
without using the cost of production as 
the basis for computation. k. h. s. 
Chenango Co., N. Y. 
In this locality milch cows are in good 
condition, and the milk flow is, I should 
think, normal. Hay is very short, all 
fed up ; cows going to pasture before they 
ought to. Young stock is scarce and high 
in price. I do not know of a heifer calf 
being raised this Spring. Cows are chang¬ 
ing hands more than I have ever known 
at a high figure. The outlook for milk is 
at present good. Farmers are. I believe, 
satisfied with prices this month, but I 
believe they will have to feed grain the 
whole month, if not all Summer, for pas¬ 
ture is backward. I>. D. L. 
Chenango Co., N. Y. 
'Phe cows in this section wintered fairly 
well. At the present time, however, the 
hay question is a serious one, as the crop 
was very short last year and the pasture 
is very late this year. The outlook for 
this year’s crop is not very encouraging 
either. The farmers are very well satis¬ 
fied with the price of milk for May. Only 
a few calves are being raised. w. rc. t. 
Columbia Co., N. Y. 
Help conditions are worse then ever 
before; those that had two men last year 
have one this, and those who had one 
have none. The cows on an average did 
not winter well, owing to shortage of 
hay and silage, with the high cost of feed. 
The pastures are beginning to look more 
encouraging. The last heavy freeze hurt 
the young clover and all grasses. The 
outlook for hay is good. No heifer calves 
have been raised other than those that, 
are in the pure breeds. The majority, of 
dairy farmers are dissatisfied and dis¬ 
couraged with the conditions that seem 
to follow us, namely, low price for milk 
and not being able to raise calves, feed 
and roughage making it impossible.

Oenesee Co., N. Y. 
Having only returned from France in 
March, after being two years in the army, 
I am not very familiar with affairs in 
Maine. I have been so busy at home, get¬ 
ting started once more, that I have not 
taken any trips about the country. My 
own plan is to raise a greater supply of 
corn and oats. All grains, like oats, 
wheat, rye. etc., are very uncertain in our 
locality. Heavy Summer rains very often 
“lodge” the grain, resulting in a total 
loss, except the straw. Wheat is not seed¬ 
ed around here as far as 1 can find out; 
have planned to try it, but never have. 
Now that I am at. home once more I may 
try wheat another year. Some of the 
local farmers talk about Winter wheat, 
but i have never seen any grown here. 
Hay and silage are about all the feeding 
stuff that is grown, the reason being the 
uncertainty of our seasons. Oats were 
planted quite extensively last year, but 
quite a few farmers lost their crops. 
The oats were cut and stacked, waiting 
thrashing, and were out in a week of 
heavy rain, being badly damaged. G. c. w.
