Crops and Farm News 
Up-State Farm Notes 
Cheese Prospects. —The cheese mar¬ 
ket is of unusual interest to dairymen, 
since it is reflected so closely in the milk 
quotations. Though the time 1ms arrived 
to close up the yearly work of the dairy 
boards of the State they will continue to 
meet for three weeks more, due to the 
large registration. This week the Water- 
town Hoard set 30*4 cents as the basic 
price, but buyers refused to give over 30 
cents, and this was finally decided upon. 
Sales were made of 3.075 boxes at 30 
cents, as compared to 3,937 boxes a year 
ago at 31% cents. 
State Health Work. —Extra efforts 
are to be made by State officials in the 
interests of prevention of tuberculosis, in 
view of the fact that the death rate lias 
increased from 315 to 320 per 300,000 
living population since 3916, the highest 
point in 30 years. This is due to war 
time conditions and tlie influenza epi¬ 
demic. The State, outside of New York 
City, is to raise $5S2.000 to relieve this 
situation. Approximately 80 per cent of 
the proceeds of the sale of Red Cross 
Christmas seals will be devoted to the 
work in the localities where contributed. 
This work deserves the heartiest support 
of rural communities, as well ns of city 
people. The matter of the health of the 
various Counties is of vital interest, and 
will be one of the features of the coming 
year’s work by the Farm Bureaus and 
Home Bureaus of the State as determined 
at the recent conference in Ithaca. Every 
county should have a public nurse as the 
first step in this direction. The last 
monthly report of Cortland County’s pub¬ 
lic nurse is so full of good things that 
it alone would convince any open-minded 
citizen of the value of this movement. 
Reforestation. — Eight counties of 
Northern New York—Clinton, Essex, 
Herkimer, St. Lawrence. Lewis, Jeffer¬ 
son, Hamilton and Franklin—are greatly 
interested in reforesting great barren 
areas in their confines and will send dele¬ 
gates to the forestry conference in Syra¬ 
cuse, Nov. 33. Southern counties are also 
to take up the work, interest in which is 
sweeping the State. The College of For¬ 
estry will co-operate at once with Otsego 
and Chenango counties in developing the 
work of tree planting, also with smaller 
projects of this nature in other counties. 
Looks for Advance in Wheat.— 
Prominent bakers and wheat dealers pre¬ 
dict a rise in flour prices as soon as Gov¬ 
ernment wheat regulation automatically 
ceases. As everything in a loaf of bread 
is advancing a 20-cent loaf is predicted. 
State residents living near tin* Canadian 
border are able to get sugar in plenty, 
as Canadian supplies are plentiful. The 
price is 13% cents, with a duty of 30 
cents. 
Big Barn Loss. —Five big barns north 
of Nichollville burned last night with 40 
head of purebred Ayrshire cattle. The 
loss was $25,000. Farmers are having 
their attention called to the fact that 
most of them are not carrying heavy 
enough insurance now that buildings and 
building materials are so much more ex¬ 
pensive. Those who have not attended 
to raising their insurance will, on re¬ 
flection,_ find that the average insurance 
as carried before war times would not 
cover half the cost of rebuilding in case 
of fire ; in many cases it would not cover 
one-third or one-quarter of rebuilding ex¬ 
penses. It now pays to take good care 
of all buildings and to carry adequate 
insurance. 
District School Matters. —At a re¬ 
cent conference of 250 rural teachers of 
Onondaga County Dean Penny of the 
Teachers’ College said that the eduoa- 
t’onal theories as given teachers for use 
today are too one-sided and not in keep¬ 
ing with practical results sought from 
pupils. He also said that continual in¬ 
terference with teachers or “butting in” 
by district superintendents destroys the 
personality <>f the teacher and handicaps 
her efforts. Rural people are well aware 
that present rural educational methods 
are very faulty, and they find that dis¬ 
trict superintendents do not always work 
for tho best interests of the pupils and 
that their advice and supervision cannot 
always be relied upon. 
Auto Fees for 3920—The mnv auto¬ 
mobile license law which goes into effect 
Jan. 3 calls for higher registration fees 
next year. There is a fixed fee of 25 
cents per horsepower and an additional 
fee based on the age and price list of the 
car. If registered within three years of 
manufacture the fee will be 40 cents on 
each $3 00 or major fraction of list price 
of car; if within four or five years of 
manufacture 20 cents on each $300 or 
major fraction; if later than the fifth 
year 30 cents on each $300 of list price. 
At no time shall a six-cylinder car be less 
than $10 or a seven-cylinder less than $5. 
Grange Against Go-operation with 
Organized Labor.—S. J. Lowell, master 
of the New York State Grange and chair¬ 
man of the executive committee of the 
National Grange, announces that farmers 
have definitely rejected propositions to 
join labor’s fight against capital. At the 
labor conference in Washington farmers’ 
organizations definitely refused to join 
Mr. Gompers’s forces and left the session 
in indignation at the proposals made by 
labor interests. From this conference 
Mr. Lowell went to the National Farmers’ 
Congress in Hagerstown, Maryland, and 
there found exactly the same sentiment 
expressed by farm organizations from all 
parts of the country. Labor is making 
another effort to get the co-operation of 
farm interests, but agricultural leaders 
say the plan is doomed to failure, as no 
amalgamation with labor interests will be 
tolerated by any farm organization in the 
country, with one lone exception, which 
occurred at the Washington conference. 
Already the agitation for higher wages 
and shorter hours and the cry for cheaper 
foods from industrial workers has hurt 
agriculture in an alarming way. Labor 
sees possibilities of power if it can get. 
the farmers to curtail production by 
adopting their policies. But this well- 
known conscientious leader of farm senti¬ 
ment appeals to New York farmers to 
refrain from taking any active part which 
may tend to make present food conditions 
worse. lie says: “A particular duty 
rests upon the farmers to keep their farm 
organizations free from radical thought 
and radical policies, and to prevent 
socialistic or Bolshevik tendencies from 
creeping into their organizations. 
“Unless American farmers are given 
reasonable assurance that their interests 
are to be cared for in future and that the 
farmer is not to be made the butt of con¬ 
troversy between capital and labor, I fear 
that this country is going to find its pro¬ 
duction greatly curtailed. 
“American farm life has been steadily 
advancing, and our interests can be best 
promoted by careful work of an educa¬ 
tional nature without interference from 
public groups which have no knowledge of 
actual farm conditions.” m. g. f. 
Countrywide Produce Situation 
(Continued from page 1G82) 
the business of raising seedlings to be 
sold to American nurserymen for graft¬ 
ing. This is especially true for cherries. 
British apple markets are in fairly good 
condition but only the best stock brings 
the top legal price of $34 to $35. Some 
lots in poor condition have sold too low 
to cover expenses. 
GOOD LATE KEEPING CABBAGE IN MOD¬ 
ERATE SUPPLY. 
Cabbage movement is falling off’ grad¬ 
ually but the price fails to advance. The 
prospect seems good on account of tho 
shortage in the States which produce most 
of the late storage crop. One reason 
why demand has not advanced the mar¬ 
ket, is the luck of active buying for the 
kraut makers. These had a poor busi¬ 
ness season last year and have not ye* 
taken hold freely this year. Another 
cause is the poor keeping quality of some 
cabbage which has to be marketed early 
because storage buyers do not want it. 
The general price trend has been down¬ 
ward. Hard, solid Dutch or Danish va¬ 
rieties bring $20 to $30 per ton in pro¬ 
ducing sections, one-half to two-thirds the 
early September prices. Last year city 
prices in early November ranged $20 to 
$32 and did not go above that, level the 
rest of the season, while the year before 
there was a big rise in mid-Winter. At 
present the general range in city markets 
is $25 to $40 . 
ONION BUYERS CONFIDENT. 
Mlore confidence seems to be felt in 
onions than in any other important line. 
T)ie best part of the crop has been put 
into cold storage and these buyers are 
'likely to get the most <>f any further gain 
in prices. Best stock brings $3.75 to 
$4.50 per 300 pounds, hut there are many 
lots of small onions selling lower. 
Southern truck growers are watching 
the markets with great interest and heavy 
plantings are expected this Winter. The 
safest, policy will be to get out of the 
way with Northern storage holdings be¬ 
fore much Southern stock appears next 
Spring, 
BEANS DULL, BUT OUTLOOK FAIRLY GOOD. 
The field bean situation has been 
cleared up after a fashion, because of the 
light Western crop. Planters were dis¬ 
gusted with the conditions of the preced¬ 
ing year and cut down their acreage. 
Dry weather did tin 1 rest. The leading 
Western States, California and Colorado, 
are shipping much less than last year. 
There was a large stock of old beans but 
it is felt that both the undamaged old 
stock and the new crop will sell without 
special difficulty, although it must he ad¬ 
mitted that the movement so far has been 
slow. The East had a good sized crop 
and meets fairly decent general condi¬ 
tions for the first time in several years. 
The worst drawback has been a lack of 
clear weather for drying the crop in 
some sections of the Bast, but the crop in 
New York State seems to he clean and 
bright for the most part. California 
growers are getting $5 to $6 for 100 
pounds for white beaus, and Colorado 
producers $5 to $5.50 for the speckled 
pinto beans. Japanese beans have been 
coming in in large quantities, contribut¬ 
ing to the general dullness of the market 
and there is loud call for some sort of 
relief. New York growers are asking for 
u tariff of 4c per pound. g. b. f.
