T housands of farmers are looking: 
forward to a trip to Ithaca some 
time during the week of February 12 
to 17, to attend the Farmers’ Week at 
the New York State College. The pro¬ 
gram announced by the college justifies 
the anticipation of those who expect to 
attend. 
The outstanding topics to be discussed 
are those relating to marketing and 
financial problems, but a good deal of 
attention is given to entertainments of 
various kinds, and special conferences 
of different interests and groups are 
scheduled for nearly every day. Some 
of these conferences are a special home¬ 
makers’ conference throughout the 
week, and a conference of grange 
masters and lecturers, a dinner of the 
state federation of horticultural so¬ 
cieties and floral clubs, a meeting of the 
state co-operative seed potato associa¬ 
tion, the annual meeting of the state 
co-operative poultry certification associ¬ 
ation, a meeting to organize a state 
wide poultry council, conferences on the 
rural community, the rural schools, the 
country church and a meeting of editors 
on daily and weekly newspapers. 
Many Prominent Speakers on Program 
Special attention is to be given in 
the program to the interests of dairy¬ 
men. Some of the speakers on the 
dairy program include C. W. Larsen, 
Chief of the Dairy Division of _ the 
United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture; E. R. Eastman, Editor of Am¬ 
erican Agriculturist; H. E. Cook, well 
known Dairy Farmer; W. H. Marcusson, 
Assistant Manager of the Borden Milk 
Company; G. E. Hogue, Assistant Com¬ 
missioner, State Department of Farms 
and Markets. 
Other speakers include men of nat¬ 
ional reputation, such as Eugene Daven¬ 
port, writer on agricultural subjects; 
Charles H. Judd, of the University of 
Chicago, who will speak on the problems 
of the rural schools; Hon. Sidney And¬ 
erson, Chairman of the Congressional 
Committee of Agricultural Inquiry; 
Sherman J. Lowell, Master of the Nat¬ 
ional Grange and Enos Lee, President 
of the State Farm Bureau Federation. 
Many of the admirers of George F. 
Warren will make the special trip to 
Ithaca purposely to hear him speak on 
financial inflation and deflation on Tues¬ 
day; the relation of industrial conditions 
to agricultural conditions on Wednes¬ 
day; and the prices of farm products 
and probable future prices on Thursday. 
There will be entertainment programs 
for each afternoon and evening, which 
include readings of French-Canadian 
poems by Prof. George A. Everett; 
reading of “Enoch Arden” with piano 
accompaniment, by Georg^ C. Williams 
of “the Ithaca Conservatory of Music; 
a lecture on the home life of birds by 
Prof. A. A. Allen; Prof. Eugene P. 
Andrews will give an illustrated lecture 
describing his recent thousand mile trip 
on the Nile River; Mrs. Anna Botsford 
Comstock will favor with an illustrated 
lecture on farming in Sicily; Prof. J. 
T. Quarles, Cornell University organist, 
will give an organ recital in Bailey 
Hall, and all will join in singing. 
Other evening features will include 
the following: Monday evening, a speak¬ 
ing contest, debate and musical numbers 
by winter course students; Tuesday 
evening, concert by the Cornell Uni¬ 
versity student orchestra under the 
leadership of George L. Coleman; Wed¬ 
nesday evening, the pageant of farm 
life written by Mrs. G. Thomas Powell of 
Glen Head, Long Island, which was 
given at the State Farm Bureau Fed¬ 
eration meeting at Syracuse; Thursday 
evetiing, the annual Eastman Stage, 
student prize speaking-contest on agri¬ 
cultural subjects; and the Kermis play 
“The Meddlers” written and produced 
by students on Friday evening.

to bear fruit of great value to New 
York State farmers. He outlined an 
idea of all non-commercial farm organ¬ 
izations of the State joining together 
during the same week each winter for 
annual conventions, in connection with 
which a winter show of farm products 
would be held at the State Fair 
Grounds. 
The plan elicited much favorable com¬ 
ment, as it was realized that state-wide 
organizations now often hold annual 
meetings in different cities or the same 
city at the same time and cause much 
inconvenience to members, who cannot 
attend both. A combined meeting 
would also allow officers to secure the 
most prominent speakers in the country 
for the^ event. The winter show plan 
will probably be taken up for definite 
action at a meeting of farm organiza¬ 
tion officials at Farmers’ Week at the 
State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, 
in February. 
A large number of eminent men spoke 
at the meeting, including Chancellor 
Charles Wesley Flint, Syracuse Univer¬ 
sity; Berne A. Pyrke, Commissioner of 
Farms and Markets; Lieutenant Gover¬ 
nor George R. Lunn; Dr. R. W. That¬ 
cher, Director of the New York State 
Agricultural Experiment Station, Gen¬ 
eva; A. L. Brockway, President of the 
New York State Horticultural Society; 
and others. Harry S. Gail of East 
Aurora was re-elected president for the 
year. _ 
FARM NEWS OUT OF ALBANY 
There is considerable discussion 
among Legislators regarding suggest¬ 
ions for helping the rural schools. No 
bill has been introduced as yet but a 
great deal of interest is being shown. 
51: sk 
Governor Smith’s suggestion that the 
Commissioner of Farms and Markets 
should be appointed directly by the 
Governor instead of by the Council of 
Farms and Markets as at present, is 
causing a good deal of talk in Albany. 
It seems to be general sentiment among 
up-state men that there has not been 
sufficient time elapsd as yet to judge 
the work of the Department under the 
new law of last year. 
* H: 
A bill has been introduced to amend 
the Donnelly Act to repeal the amend¬ 
ment which gives exemption to farmers 
in cooperative organizations. This 
bill should be carefully watched. 
* * * 
Bills have been introduced to provide 
that the State build and maintain 
bridges on what is known as State 
Roads and that the State and County 
build and maintain bridges on roads 
known as State and County highways. 
The object of this legislation is to re¬ 
lieve many of the towns of the State 
of low assessed valuation from heavy 
bonding indebteness which would be 
necessary for them to provide bridges 
that meet requirements of the State 
Highway Department. 
STATE BREEDERS HOLD BIG 
MEETING 
The recent successful annual conven¬ 
tion of the New York State Breeders’ 
Association in Syracuse was marked by 
some very constructive discussions of 
the outstanding agricultural problems 
of the State. C. F. Bigler, president of 
the New York Holstein Friesian Asso¬ 
ciation, suggested a plan that promises 
IN WESTERN NEW YORK 
Genesee Co.—This winter is proving 
to be most serious. The temperature 
has hit the low stop three times already. 
Snow storms have been severe and most 
of the roads are practically impassable. 
Fuel has been very scarce and folks 
have been compelled to use soft coal 
and coke instead of ordinary coal. Prices 
on crops are coming around better. 
Wheat is now bringing $1.35 a bushel, 
potatoes are 60 cents a bushel and 
apples find ready market at 60 cents. 
Butter brings 55 cents a pound, eggs 
65 cents a dozen.—J. C. J. 
Ontario Co.—We have had several 
important meetings of late. The Agri¬ 
cultural Society held its election of 
officers, the Hopewell Grange installed 
new officers and there have been several 
Farmers Institutes. Farmers are mostly 
concerned about coal, having taxes re¬ 
duced, and in the prospects for next 
season. This is not a milk county so 
we are not much interested in the prices 
of milk. Wheat is $1.30, oats, 70 cents, 
barley, 90 cents, corn, 75 cents, bran, 
$32 a ton, dressed pork, 13 cents, lambs, 
12 cents, beef, 6 cents, hay, $10, red 
beans, $7, potatoes, 45 cents a bushel.
