Farm News From Albany 
National Dairy Show Will Help Easterners 
F ollowing Governor Smith’s criti¬ 
cism of the Department of Farms 
and Markets, Senator Nathan Straus, 
chairman of the Committee on Agri¬ 
culture, has introduced a bill in the 
Senate proposing reconstruction of the 
Department of Farms and Market*, 
as suggested by the governor. The bill, 
which was- referred to the Committee 
on Agriculture, seeks to repeal the sec¬ 
tions of the Farms and Markets Law 
relating to the Council of Farms and 
Markets. This council, consisting of 
five members, would be eliminated if 
the bill is enacted into law, and re¬ 
placed by a single commissioner, to be 
appointed by the governor for a term 
of five years. The commissioner first 
appointed would 
go put of office 
December 1, 1927, 
under the meas¬ 
ure. The salary 
is set at $15,000 
a year. 
Senator Straus 
said, in argumient 
for this bill: “The 
Council of Farms 
and Markets as 
present consti¬ 
tuted is a unique 
department of 
governme n t. It 
is completely re¬ 
moved from the 
supervision and 
control of either 
the governor of 
the State or of 
the people. There 
is no way by 
which the Com¬ 
missioner of 
Farms and Mar- 
k e t s , entrusted 
with a tremen¬ 
dous power for 
Hurrah For the Voigt Bill! 
• 
T he Voigt Filled Milk Bill has passed 
the Senate. It passed the House 
some time ago, but has been returned to 
the House for minor adjustments, after 
which it will go to the President. It is 
expected that the President will sign it. 
The Voigt Bill prohibits interstate 
shipment of condensed or evaporated 
milk made from skim milk and oil sub¬ 
stitutes, such as cottonseed oil and coco¬ 
nut oil- 
Dairy and health organizations have 
left no stone unturned to get this legis¬ 
lation- It means millions in increased 
markets for butter fat for farmers and 
much to the health of the consumer, 
and is probably the most important 
farm legislation passed in years- Pas¬ 
sage of the Voigt Bill is a great demon¬ 
stration of the power of cooperation.—

good or evil over the food supply ()f

position. He is neither elected by the

He is the appointee of a practically

A bill providing for tfie building of 
a Coliseum on the State Fair Grounds 
has been passed by the Legislature and 
signed by the governor. 
* * ♦ 
Action on the bills to repeal the 
Mullin-Gage Law, which provides for 
the enforcement of prohibition, is pend¬ 
ing in both Houses. The advocates of 
repeal as well as the friends of prohi¬ 
bition have been very busy v/aiting on 
the governor and various members of 
the Legislature. Both sides attended 
a joint hearing of the Senate and 
Assembly. At the present time these 
bills appear to be held up in committee 
in both Houses; both committees are 
“dry.” 
* * * 
The Legislature recently passed a 
concurrent resolution asking Congress 
for modification of the Volstead Act, 
granting light wines and beers. 
* * * 
Legislation for the removal of snow 
from the State and county highways 
has been passed by the Assembly and 
is now pending in the Senate. This 
bill provides that the county shall pay 
one-half the expense and the State one- 
half when approved by the Board of 
Supervisors and the State Highway 
Commission. 
* * * 
Legislation advocated by the gover¬ 
nor to consolidate many of the State 
departments and make the heads of 
these departments appointive instead 
of elective has passed the Senate. 
* * * 
Several bills have been introduced 
to change the election laws. Those at¬ 
tracting most attention provi(ie for a 
direct primary to select State officers 
and judges. There are two of these 
bills. One of them is known as the 
“Hinman-Green Bill,” which received 
ennsideration when Hughes was gov¬ 
ernor, and the oth^r bill practically re¬ 
establishes the primary as it was pre¬ 
vious to its repeal in 1921. Senator 
Swift of Erie has introduced a modi 
fication of the Hinman-Gage Bill, which 
would be a compromise between the 
direct primary and the present system. 
* * * 
An interesting resolution is in the 
Legislature to pledge the State’s credit 
to the construction of a deep-sea ship 
canal from Buffalo to Albany. The 
object of the resolution is to offset any 
chance that Congress may approve a 
treaty with Canada for the construe 
tion of the proposed St. Lawrence 
Ship Canal. * * * 
A bill is before the Senate which 
provides for thirteen jurors in capital 
cases, so that in 
case of sickness 
or death the case 
can go on. One 
juror is to be 
eliminated by lot 
at the close of 
the case, leaving 
it to twelve to 
make a decision.

The S t a p1e y 
Bill, increasing 
the speed limit 
that can be set 
by local ordi¬ 
nances from 15 
to 20 miles an 
hour, was passed 
unanimously b y 
the Assembly. 
Under provision 
of the bill, no lo¬ 
cal order could 
set a speed limit 
of less than 20 
miles an hour. 
AdvOCatCS Of thC 
measure say that 
it will speed up 
traffic and eliminate speed traps with¬ 
out creating any danger. The meas¬ 
ure now goes to the Senate.

The Lusk Repeal Bill, repealing the 
act which requires teachers to take the 
loyalty oath, has passed the Senate and 
is now before the Assembly.

An important bill is in the Legisla¬ 
ture providing for the union of the 
New York State Experiment Station 
at Geneva and the New York State 
College of Agriculture. The bill would 
put the two institutions under one head, 
but the station would not lose its 
identity. 
NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW AT 
SYRACUSE 
W. E. SKINNER 
I have just received a telegram from 
J. D. Barnum, of the Syracuse “Post- 
Standard,” announcing that the New 
York Legislature has passed a bill pro¬ 
viding for the construction of a Coli¬ 
seum on the State Fair Grounds at 
Syracuse, in accordance with promises 
made by the committee that repre¬ 
sented that city at the annual meeting 
when the 1923 National Dairy Show 
was invited to go to New York next 
October. The message also states that 
Governor Smith has signed the bill. 
The rapidity with which the State 
solons passed this bill making an ap¬ 
propriation for the construction of the 
Coliseum to house the exposition com¬ 
fortably is a very good example of how 
the people of New York feel with re¬ 
gard to the coming of the exposition. 
Every State agricultural organiza¬ 
tion was represented and a great many 
individual farmers attended the hear¬ 
ings on the bill at Albany, so that no 
misunderstandings could occur in the 
minds of the lawmakers as to the neces¬ 
sity of holding the National Dairy Ex¬ 
position in the East this year. This 
of itself has already had a tremendous 
influence upon the a^icultural pro¬ 
grams for the year in the Eastern 
States, so that the work our show can 
do for dairying this year will be just 
as great as we of the industry care to 
make it. 
If the enthusiasrn of the East is met 
with like enthusiasm from the dairy 
industry in all parts of the country,
