Unadilla 
Silo 
The Unadilla is made in the largest 
factory in the East devoted exclus¬ 
ively to silos. Our stock of lumber 
and steel is ample but we cannot 
control embargoes and freight delays 
! that take months where once it was 
a matter of days. 
The famous Unadilla Silo is easy to 
erect quickly, keeps silage perfectly 
and is in use by many thousands of 
dairymen and stockmen.

Milk and Farm News 
The main business in this section is 
dairying. A few hops have boon set out 
For feed we pay from §60 to $85 per ton *' 
uot much home-grown. Egg*. 44e: but’ 
ter. 65c. Some hay sold of late, poor 
quality, at $33 per ton ; potatoes. $3.50 
per bu.; not many raised around here 
Not much market for pork and beef at 
present, and much lower than last year 
As to the business outlook of farming, it 
looks bad to me. With our agricultural 
school, Farm Bureau, farmers’ institute 
and all advantages, the farmer is more 
discontented than ever before. There are 
more idle farms and scarcity of help. I 
believe the root of all trouble is that all 
State, county and town officials get too 
big salaries for the labor performed, which 
is comparatively nothing to that of the 
farmer. h. k.

Our local market, aud where we go to 
sell our produce mostly, is Syracuse. In 
my town, tobacco, potatoes and dairy 
are the chief lines. Our milk goes to 
Montclair, N. ,T.. at League price, which 
in our zone is $2.75 per cwt. Old pota¬ 
toes. large size and firm, $4 to $4.25 ner 
60 lbs.; medium. $3.50: butter. 65 to 
75c per lb.; eggs, 55 to 60o; live fowls 
40 to 42c; dressed fowls. 55 to 60c 
w heat at our local mill. $3 per bu: oats 
$1.50. We suffered from a six-weeks’ 
drought .which made pastures short, and 
will cut the hay crop about half. Rain 
came .Tune 16; crops begin to look better, 
f orn is small, about the usual acreage 
of potatoes planted. We are short of 
labor. Farmers generally only putting 
in crops that they can take care of them¬ 
selves. _ There was no surplus of crops 
raised in 1919 on hand now. Farm con¬ 
ditions are fair. f. h. it. 
Onondaga Co., N. Y. 
The principal product in this county is 
milk, most of the farmers selling this 
product to the central dealers, receiving 
the current prices made by the Dairy¬ 
men’s League. Some of the farmers, how¬ 
ever, sell to private dealers in the local 
towns and villages, receiving from 7 to 
9 cents per quart. Some farmers fatten 
their calves, and 'are receiving at present 
15 cents per pound, live weight. This is 
much lower than it has been for the past 
months. This county has a cow popula¬ 
tion of 7.480. and unless the farmers re¬ 
ceive more for their milk in the near 
future this number will be greatly re¬ 
duced before the Winter months. ‘ The 
outlook for the hay crop is about the 
samA as last year, which was an average 
good year. yr. e. b. 
i Putnam Co., N. Y. 
The principal products marketed at the 
present time arc hay and grain. The 
present prices are: Wheat. $2.90 to S3 
per bu.; oats. $1 to $1.10 per bu.; barley. 
$1.75 to $2 per bu.; rye, $1.90 to $2 per 
bu. Hay is selling from $35 to $45 per 
ton. Farm conditions, so far as the grow¬ 
ing crops, etc.,, are favorable, but. of 
course, the principal drawback is shortage 
of farm labor. This, I believe, is due to 
a considerable extent to the reluctance of 
the farmers to pay the wages that prices 
and conditions warrant at the present 
time.. The outlook for farmers who are 
farming in a business-like way is certainly

’I’lie principal crops in the western part 
of Wyoming County are potatoes, beans, 
oats, wheat, in the order named, hut it is 
mostly dairying. The eastern part crops 
are beans, potatoes, wheat, oats, barley 
and buckwheat, not so much dairying. 
Beans, pea and medium. $3.25 per bu.: 
marrow, $4 ; red kidney, $6 to $7.20. Po¬ 
tatoes, some sold last Fall for $1 to the 
dealers, hut most of them have been run 
into Buffalo by truck, and they have 
brought all the way from $2 last Fall up 
to $5 per bu. now. They are offering $5 
now for seed potatoes, hut there are hut a 
few to he found. Wheat, per bu.. $2.40: 
oats, $1.20; barley, $1.40; buckwheat, per 
cwt., $3.25 ; wool, per lb., 60c. Eggs, 43c. 
The milk is all sold at the League price 
(less 20c* in this zone), $2.83; dairy but¬ 
ter, 60c. All farm crops are looking well 
in this section ; I think above the average. 
As near as I can gather from those I have 
talked with, I should say that the 'bean 
crop will he about 20 per cent short in 
acres put in. ami potatoes about 10 per 
cent, if not more, on account of the lack 
of help and seed. It is almost out of the 
question to get a man to help for a day. 
and if you do find one lie wants 40 or 50 
cents per hour. Some farmers are hiring 
a man and team to help out aud paying 
80c per hour. Most of the farmers with 
big dairies have put in milking machines 
because they cannot get help to milk. I 
myself get up at 5 o’clock in the morning 
and work until S to 10 p. m. to keen up. 
I cannot find anybody to help out. heed 
averages about $4.50 per cwt. Hay sold 
last Fall for $20 is selling now for about 
$35. »• b. n-
