Meeting of New York 
Extension Workers 
(Continued on Page 1471) 
The Western New York Fruit Grow¬ 
ers’ Association has had, judging from 
the account given by M. C. Burritt, ex¬ 
periences similar to those of some of the 
other co-operatives. Expenses have been 
cut down of late, as somewhat less of 
business has been done. More responsi¬ 
bility goes to the locals. There has been 
heavy competition from other _ buyers, 
but the business of the co-operative,. Mr. 
Burritt thinks, is in a healthy condition. 
Like others volume counts, and with in¬ 
creased volume comes lower costs. No 
membership campaign is put on. Con¬ 
tinuous contracts are used with yearly 
cancellation periods. Federal inspection 
is to be desired. It may be possible for 
the grower to have his fruit graded and 
then decide whether to pool or to make 
his own sales. , _ T , 
Commissioners Pyrke and Norgord 
spoke with much encouragement respect¬ 
ing the control of bovine tuberculosis. 
The work is now on the area basis, with 
two counties practically accredited, and 
various townships either on the list, or 
well on the way. The State is saving 
somewhat more on indemnities by get- 
ting a higher salvage value. The average 
in the way of salvage is about 819. I here 
is good control over veterinarians who do 
the testing, and either two or three forms 
of tests are insisted upon at each time 
of testing. There is no appropriation 
asked for to make up past appraisals 
for the testing is held up as soon sis the 
money is gone. Four millions will be 
asked for from the incoming legislature. 
Reports were given relative to the 
daily forecast of weather during the har¬ 
vest season. In most cases the reports 
are favorable and the service is asked for 
another year. Some want it given during a 
part of June or while early cutting ot 
Alfalfa is in progress, and there are 
some in the norther sections who wish it 
continued a little later in the Summer. 
Co-operation is a business, not a rorm 
of religion, remarked Prof. Meyers, as 
he developed the forms of balance sheets 
that are most to be encouraged. He 
spoke very highly of some of the balance 
sheets presented by certain co-operative 
associations, and showed wherein the as¬ 
sociations are building on a very line 
foundation. He also dwelt upon the ne¬ 
cessity of eliminating dangerous assets 
and the importance of keeping sufficient 
reserve to offset depreciation and possi¬ 
ble losses or unforseen expenses. 
Then Prof. Jesness of Kentucky spoke 
of the farmers’,good business sense but 
insisted that a co-operative association 
like the Dairymen’s League is different 
from the II. S. Steel Corporation It is 
difficult, he admitted, to _ secure farmer 
membership in an association but he held 
that there would also be difficulty in get¬ 
ting various small business interests to 
join in a buying organization, farmers 
are not different from other people. I nen 
a farmer’s marketing organization has 
difficulties not known to business; woolen 
mills, for example, can shut down when 
there is a surplus production, but the 
farmers’ products are not thus easily 
controlled. . 
The Dairymen’s League came m tor a 
lengthy and very' direct discussion with 
Paul Smith of the League executive com¬ 
mittee in charge. The Farm Bureau men 
are, most of them, closely in touch with 
farmers who have a very direct interest 
in the Dairymen’s League, whether pool¬ 
ers or non-poolers.. Dairymen ask them 
many questions and some of these ques¬ 
tions were passed on to Mr. Smith. The 
speaker did not think that the platform 
milk that the League offers really com¬ 
petes to any extent with the regular buy¬ 
ers through the pool. When asked how it 
is proposed to combat any tendency for 
members to withdraw he explained that 
it is the plan to acquaint members with 
what has been accomplished. As to the 
advantage of a general manager com¬ 
pared to the present plan of the execu¬ 
tive committee to take entire charge with 
TO departments, each having a qualified 
expert to manage his department, Mr. 
Smith was emphatically in favor of the 
present plan. There seemed to be some 
question in the minds of the men pres¬ 
ent as to the advisability _ of paying 
special salaries to a part of the direc¬ 
tors for special services, but the present 
plans of the committee were upheld by 
the speaker. The matter of elevating 
the fluid price so far above that of butter, 
cheese and other manufactured products 
was justified on the ground that fluid 
milk should bring cost of production and 
some profit. It can only be held there by 
organization by means of which the sur¬ 
plus is held off the fluid market. H. 
Wool Notes 
The government summary of the Bos¬ 
ton market is as follows: Fine strictly 
combing, 63. to 65c; fine French comb¬ 
ing, 55 to 56c; fine clothing, 52c; half 
blood strictly combing, 62 to 64c; half 
blood clothing, 53 to 56c; three-eighths 
blood strictly combing, 60 to 62c; three- 
eighths blood clothing, 55c; one-fourth 
blood strictly combing. 60c; one-fourth 
blood clothing, 53c; low one-fourth blood 
strictly combing, 53 to 54c; common and 
braid, 45 to 47c. 
Good qualities are the substantial 
riches of the mind; but it is good breed¬ 
ing that sets them off to advantage.—

POLICE DOGS and PUPS For Sale 
The police dog or German Shepherd Dog is one of the best investments the farmer 
can make. He is a constant, loyal, affectionate friend and a wonderful help, particularly 
to the dairy farmer, as he will escort the cows to pasture and drive them in again with- 
out any assistance when properly trained. He is also valuable from the standpoint of 
protection. With one on the place the farmer will be free from depredations arid thefts 
by automobile parties that help themselves to his fruit and produce when lie is not 
looking. We have a partleularly fine litter containing the blood line of the four finest 
and most blue-blooded families of German Police Dogs. Mule pups seven weeks old from 
$60.00 up, and females from $50.00 up.
