Up-State Farm Notes 
Milk and Dairying Activities.— 
There lias been a let-up in co-operative 
milk plant building, due partly to the of¬ 
ficials who have been prying around, 
watching for evidence that may he used 
in any chance to prosecute violations of 
the Federal anti-trust or Sherman act. 
But now that the farmers’ busy season is 
nearing it.*? close they can give more at¬ 
tention to organization details. The Har¬ 
ford Branch of the Dairymen’s League, 
Inc., has received its charter from the 
Secretary of State. At a big meeting of 
Cayuga County farmers this week the 
contract between the local co-operative 
milk company and the Dairymen’s League 
was approved, and directions given to add 
extensive improvements at once, so the 
plant will be able to handle the milk pro¬ 
ducts of the county. The League will 
equip the plant with the best modern ma¬ 
chinery. The officials are desirou«*i)f 
making this plant a success, as it was the 
first in the State to be organized. Ground 
has been broken for the .$200,000 central 
milk station in Syracuse, and the plant 
will be ready for occupancy April 3. The 
new building will be of reinforced con¬ 
crete, with private tracks to the New 
York Central Railroad. There will be 
separate departments for the making of 
condensed milk, for butter making and 
for distributing .">0,000 quarts daily to the 
city, using tie' surplus for butter and COB- 
densed milk. There will be. departments 
for pasteurizing, for bottling, refrigerat¬ 
ing and the storing of products. 
The price of cheese is advancing, the 
State’s leading dairy boards selling this 
week for 30e. A year ago at this date 
the price was 32 %c. On the whole, this 
has been a season of the highest prices for 
cheese on record, with a maximum of .Tic. 
Next Saturday's meeting of the boards 
will be the last this season. The Ply¬ 
mouth (Wis.) market was 20c this week. 
The new price for milk is a little more 
satisfactory to producers, 22c per cwt. 
above October. The Rochester and Syra¬ 
cuse Hat rate is $3.<>5 per cwt. Quite a 
few farmers are installing separators and 
will sell cream the coining year, feeding 
the skim-milk (o pigs, poultry and calves. 
Sugar for Starving Bees.—N ine 
counties of the State received 45,000 lbs. 
of sugar this week, to be distributed 
through the beekeepers’ organizations for 
the purpose of feeding bees that would 
otherwise starve this Winter. Unfavor¬ 
able weather conditions this Summer and 
Fall prevented the storing of sufficient 
honey to winter on. Tin* sugar was ob¬ 
tained through tin' efforts of l’rof. George 
Rea, bee expert for tin* State, and the 
New York Grange, Tno. Richard Hall, 
manager of the Grange Exchange, is in 
charge of the distribution of tin 1 sugar, 
which will be sold only to those beekeep¬ 
ers who have filed blanks indicating their 
needs, these requirements having been 
> roper I v investigated. Onondaga County 
rets lii.000 lbs. of the supply; Oswego, 
1.000 lbs.; Cortland. 0,000 lbs.; Herki¬ 
mer, 7,800 lbs.; Lewis, .>,11.>0 1 Ixs.; Che¬ 
nango. 8.000 lbs.; Broome. T.">0 lbs.; Tio¬ 
ga. 1.200 lbs., and Delaware, 2.000 lbs. 
This should protect next year’s honey 
crop. 
ScnoT.ARsmi' Rk« <»nn op Note.—M iss 
Laura Geer of Marathon graduated from 
high school last June. Shi' proceeded to 
win the Cornell free scholarship for her 
county. Then she was awarded one of 
the scholarships which assures her $100 
a year for four years. Now she has won 
in a contest at Cornell another, which 
gives her $200 a year for two years. There 
can he no worthier work than this of es¬ 
tablishing scholarships in tin* higher edu¬ 
cational institutions for the benefit of 
wide-awake country girls and boys. 
Organizations Take Action.— The 
Cortlandville Grange has passed a reso¬ 
lution favoring a State censorship of mo¬ 
tion pictures. This movement in this 
county originated with the women’s clubs, 
about 30 of which are active agents in 
molding public opinion in this section. 
After the endorsement of this movement 
by a number of individual clubs, the 
Cortland County Federation of Women’s 
Clubs, representing the leading women of 
the county, on Saturday voted unani¬ 
mous support of legislation to create 
careful State censorship of the movies, 
as the one factor having greatesf influ¬ 
ence on the minds and morals of the peo¬ 
ple. second to none but the schools. The 
women’s clubs also passed a resohition 
demanding more liberal premiums in Ibe 
culinary and canned goods exhibits at the 
State Fair, with at least four premiums 
in each class of not less than $3, $2. $1 
and 50c, respectively. They called atten¬ 
tion to the fact that New York State 
women excel in the art of preparing food, 
yet the premiums on these Classes at our 
great State exposition are so stingy that 
women in general cannot compete, and 
the result has been ail exhibit that is not 
ns good as those put oi.t by almost anv 
local fair in the State. The Cornell 
Farmers Reading Course was also hear¬ 
tily endorsed, and its continuation asked 
for. It seems the college has been un¬ 
certain of tin* feeling of the public to¬ 
wards these f irm bulletins, and lias been 
considering their discontinuation. The 
Home economics clubs of this county will 
make an auto trip to the State College'for 
a Full picnic i)s guests of the college 
some dify jsoou. : ji.'G. i<\*

Saratoga Co., N. Y. l. e. 
Ilay was a good crop through our sec¬ 
tion. Silage corn never was better since 
Plmve been in the State,, that is.30 years. 
Back on the bills frost caught a little of 
it before it was cut. State corn a little 
above the average. Buckwheat a fine 
crop. Oats a good crop, hut wet weather 
made it bad for harvesting. Potatoes a 
fine crop; with us a good many have 
rotted, but still a little above the average 
and of fine quality. Eggs, <>2c per doz.; 
butter, about OOe; potatoes, $1. per bu. 
Apples scarce, Northern Spy. $3 per bu. 
Hay, $10 to $12 a ton in the barn. 
Buckwheat. $3.40 to $3.50 per cwt.; oats, 
75 to 80c per bu. Stock look good, pas¬ 
tures fine. Cows bring from $80 to $140 
a head. Fall pigs, four to six weeks old, 
$5 apiece, and no sale at that. Almost 
every farmer is improving his buildings, 
ami farm money is plenty. Large draft 
horses bring a fair price. Light horses 
not in demand. Farm labor 50c an hour, 
without hoard. Most all crops are gath¬ 
ered. After feed and rowen the best I 
ever knew; the most cut and put in the 
barns. The most new silos put up in 
this section I ever knew in one year. 
Honey a failure in this locality.
