quiet in general. Hay is selling at $14 
to $16 F. O. B,, rye straw $20. Not 
much enthusiasm over the milk busi¬ 
ness, fresh cows, feed and help are high. 
Many farmers are producing lots of 
eggs. Stores are now paying 50 cents 
a dozen. There have been several auc¬ 
tions, but sales are not as satisfactory 
as in recent years.—F. P. P. 
Schnectady Co.—We are all enjoying 
good sleighing and the ground is dry. 
Most farmers are drawing water for 
their stock. Cutting wood is the order 
of the day. Butter is 45 cents a pound, 
eggs, 75 cents a dozen, buckwheat, 85 
cents a bushel. Hay is bringing $13 
to $14 a ton, beef, 7 cents a pound._ 
John W. Gordon. 
Orange Co.—December was very cold, 
oince the middle of the month we have 
had excellent sledding. Wells, ponds 
and streams are dry on many farms, 
and farmers are compelled to draw or 
haul water for stock. Cows are selling 
at public sales for aroUnd $125. Pota¬ 
toes are bringing $1.25 a bushel, eggs 
75 cents a dozen. “Brooks Bridge,” the 
last covered bridge in Orange County 
and a landmark since 1840, has been 
torn down and replaced by a steel 
and concrete structure.—Mrs. W. Y, 
Seaman. 
NORTHERN NEW YORK NOTES 
Jefferson Co.—Hay is now selling 
from $12 to $15 according to quality 
and the buyer. Oats brought 48 to 52 
cents at the car door during the latter 
part of December. Many shipments are 
being made to farmer cooperatives. 
The chief subject of discussion is the 
future of the milk business. It is the 
chief topic of conversation among 
poolers and non-poolers. The county 
conference of grange masters and lec¬ 
turers will be held in Watertown on 
January 16 to discuss the 1923 program. 
Discussions of the factors entering into 
the make-up of farm business and sug¬ 
gestions for local application were held 
in four communities during the latter 
part of December by the farm and home 
bureau and grange. Another series of 
these meetings will be held during the 
week of January 22. _ The change in the 
management and policy of the American 
Agriculturist is eliciting much inter- 
est and favorable comment.—W. I. Roe. 
Franklin Co.—A special drive is being 
made for new members by the Farm 
Bureau. There seems to be more satis¬ 
faction now with the price paid for 
dairy products than in some time. More 
farmers seem to be going into winter 
dairying. ^ The potato market is most 
discouraging. Shippers paying only 40 
cents. A great deal of wood is being 
cut and sold. It is bringing $3.50 to 
$4.00 a cord.— H. T. J. 
IN CENTRAL NEW YORK 
Onondago County—At the annual 
meeting of the Onondaga County Farm 
and Home Bureau Association held on 
December 1 the new by-laws were 
adopted. The membership fee for the 
Farm Bureau was left for the time 
being at $3. The election of the ex¬ 
ecutive committee was handled in ac¬ 
cordance with the new by-laws, the 
following men being elected: For three 
yea^, A. L. Brockway, Syracuse; R. 
F. Deuel, Manlius; for two years, W. 
A. Parsons, Geddes; W. T. Thorne, 
TT year, Charles 
Hotchkiss, Amber; James Alvord, 
Kirkville; John W. Brown, Warner; 
C, M. Goodspeed, Skaneateles. 
The annual meeting of the members 
of the Accredited Herd Association was 
held in the Assembly Hall of the Court 
House Tuesday, December 19. The 
records show that a total of 135 herds 
bsen under inspection, comprising 
oro^ head of cattle. Of this number 
858 animals reacted to the test and 
were removed from the herds. Twenty- 
four herds were accredited, six times 
as many as last year, and 22 herds 
have passed the first test. 
Taking a farm inventory is a short, 
simple job and a very paying one. 
Incidentally it is an extremely interest¬ 
ing one also for it always brings out 
some surprises about the farm business. 
Your State College of Agriculture or 
your County Agent will furnish the few 
directions needed, and the colleges 
usually also have the blank forms for 
setting down the items. 
An Efficient Combination 
E-B has always pioneered in the development of 
better implements. E-B built the first successful four 
cylinder kerosene burning tractor. Today the E-B 
12-20 Tractor is the most economical type for the 
farmer to buy. Its 12 horse power at the drawbar 
and 20 at the belt are ample for every farm use, and 
you can depend on it for steady power wherever 
needed. In efficiency it stands supreme. 
^*8 Power-Lift Tractor Plows are built especially for 
use with E-B 12-20 tractors but work equally well with 
any tractor. Self-lift feature enables one man to 
operate both tractor and plow—a single pull on the 
rope lifts or lowers the bottoms. 
Equipped with E-B Quick Detachable Shares—the 
only shares that can be changed by hand in 5 
seconds—no bolts, nuts or tools required.

As necessary 
as stable manure 
A good farmer would be astonished if you ques¬ 
tioned his wisdom in using manure. 
Manure is all right as far as it goes, but it fails to 
give the phosphoric acid your land needs, and does 
hot usually give nitrogen or potash in the propor¬ 
tions required by crops whose needs for food differ. 
Learn the truth about feeding your crops. 
Experiment stations have proven beyond question 
the common sense and profit in the use of commer¬ 
cial fertilizers. Properly used, they will profit you 
by increasing your yield per acre; improving the 
grade of your grain, hay and truck; maturing crops 
sooner; saving labor cost, and building up your soil.
