More Milk 
Molasses adds materially to the palata- 
bility of the ration fed to dairy cows. And 
that means the cows enjoy their food 
more- get more nourishment out of it— 
and that results naturally in more milk. 
And for horses, hogs and sheep molasses 
is just as palatable, just as valuable. The 
price of good molasses is very low now.

To Organize State Federation of Local Associations 
T he first state-wide meeting of farm 
and cooperative market associations 
of Pennsylvania was held in Harris¬ 
burg, February 20 and 21, and marks 
the organization of a State Federation. 
The meeting was called at the sugges¬ 
tion of Governor Pinchot and was held 
under the direction of Secretary of 
Agriculture, F. P. Willits. 
Over 200 delegates represented the 
various organizations of the State, of 
which there are at present over 300. 
Among the prominent speakers were 
Governor Gifford Pinchot; Secretary of 
Agriculture F. P. Willits; J. M. 
Thomas, President of the Pennsylvania 
State College of Agriculture; and Mrs. 
F. C. Black, President of the Society 
of Pennsylvania Farm Women. 
Following the address of the various 
speakers, Deputy Secretary John Mc¬ 
Kee announced the personnel of var¬ 
ious committees based on the following 
interests: grain and hay, potatoes, 
fruit, vegetables, tobacco, • horses, 
swine, beef cattle, dairy, sheep raising, 
and poultry. The various committees 
reported to the secretary of the con¬ 
ference during the Wednesday session, 
announcing their resolutions. 
Secretary Willits proposed the organ¬ 
ization of a permanent federation of 
farm and cooperative marketing asso¬ 
ciation in Pennsylvania. A temporary 
committee was appointed to act upon 
the recommendation. It reported favor¬ 
ably recommending a permanent com¬ 
mittee be appointed. The permanent 
committee for the perfection of the or¬ 
ganization of State Federation of Agri¬ 
cultural Organizations of Pennsylvania 
was appointed by Secretary Willits as 
follows: C. J. Tyson, Floradale, Pa.; 
John A. McSparran, Furniss, Pa.; W. 
S. Wise, Meadville, Pa; Mrs. Frank B. 
Black, Garrett, Pa.; R. L. Munce, 
Washington, Pa.; S. Herbert Starkey, 
Bustleton, Philadelphia, Pa.; Irving C. 
Hunt, Wyoming, Pa.; M. H. McCal- 
lum, Wernersville, Pa.; A. B. Shenk, 
Hershey, Pa.; and John M. McKee, 
Deputy Secretary of Agriculture. 
FIGHTING DAYLIGHT SAVING IN 
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE 
Senator George W. Derrick, of Bed¬ 
ford County, Pa., has introduced a bill 
in the Pennsylvania Legislature amend¬ 
ing the present law establishing East¬ 
ern Standard Time as the standard of 
time for Pennsylvania, which reads as 
follows: 
“Provided that no county, city, bor¬ 
ough, township or other municipal sub¬ 
division of the Commonwealth shall by 
ordinance, resolution, or rule adopt a 
different standard of time for any year 
or any portion of the year than that 
herein provided and that all ordinances, 
resolutions and rules heretofore adopted 
contrary to this proviso are declared 
void and of no effect.” 
The bill has been reported out of com¬ 
mittee. It has been recommitted for 
amendments. The city of Philadelphia 
has established daylight saving by ordi¬ 
nance. The passage of Senate Bill 217, 
without further amendment, would end 
the “moving up of the clocks.” 
Hearings will probably be held before 
this measure comes up for a vote. 
The Standard Time League in Phila¬ 
delphia is using every effort to have this 
legislation passed. It is having some 
success from other interests who, like 
the farmer, are greatly inconvenienced 
and find it detrimental to their business. 
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA NOTES 
OLIVER D. SHOCK 
The Pennsylvania State Fair Com¬ 
mission has recommended a large tract 
of land situated in Cumberland County 
near Harrisburg, as a suitable location 
for a State Fair Ground. 
Winter grains have been benefited by 
the heavy snows. The total snowfall 
throughout Eastern Pennsylvania ag¬ 
gregated nearly five feet during this 
past winter, affording ample protection 
to crops. Fruit trees are in excellent 
condition and are reported to be heavily 
set with fruit buds. An enormous quan¬ 
tity of ice was stored this winter for 
the coming season's supply. Farmers 
have harvested an unusually liberal 
supply, realizing that regardless of 
quantity of the ice harvested, arti¬ 
ficial ice hardly ever shows any decline 
in price. 
It is reported that some Lancaster 
county farmers will reduce their tobacco 
acreage, substituting tomatoes in the 
crop rotation. Lancaster canning es¬ 
tablishments are contracting to pur¬ 
chase the tomatoes at $12 a ton de¬ 
livered at the factories. Farmers who 
have been making a specialty of grow¬ 
ing high-grade corn, oats and potatoes, 
reported a brisk demand for seed for 
spring planting and at good prices. 
Dealers in radio supplies state that 
fully 2,500 farm homes in Pennsylvania, 
are now enjoying this wonderful new 
means of entertainment. In many 
homes it is surplanting the phonograph, 
especially in isolated localities where 
personal communication is limited. 
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA NOTES 
J. N. GLOVER 
Farm sales are in full blast with 
from one to four every day this month. 
Cows and hens sell nearly as high as 
a year ago, but shoats, horses and im¬ 
plements sell for less money than they 
did last March. Three-fourths of the 
settlements are made by notes payable 
in from seven to twelve months at all 
farm sales this season, showing that 
farmers are short of ready cash. The 
highest prices for cows were paid at the 
E. K. Dyers sale for registered Hol- 
steins, the top price of the sale was 
$270. The total of the sale amounted 
to $5,666. 
Wheat shows well after being covered 
with snow for the last two months. 
Wheat is now bringing $1.35, which is 
the highest price paid. Only local mil¬ 
lers are paying that price, shippers are 
paying less. There is a greater de¬ 
mand for oats at 45 cents. Not as much 
fertilizer will be used as last year, 
except by potato growers who may even 
increase the amount as well as the 
acreage in potatoes. Wheat which has 
been covered by snow for 10 weeks 
makes a good showing, since the snow 
melted so rapidly the past few days. 
COOPERATIVE LAW GETS GOV¬ 
ERNOR’S VETO IN NEW JERSEY 
W. H. BULLOCK 
Party politics so dominated the 1923 
session of the New Jersey Legislature, 
which adjourned its regular business on 
March 17, that except for vetoed meas¬ 
ures, many important bills, among them 
some of the agricultural measures, 
were carried to defeat. One important 
farm bill, however, known as Senate 
Bill No. 64, which would bring the 
present cooperative law of the State up 
to date, was passed by both the Senate 
and the House, but finally vetoed by 
the Governor. The special session of 
the legislature held during the week 
ending March 24 was to consider only 
those bills which had passed the legis¬ 
lature and had been vetoed by the Gov¬ 
ernor. The proposed cooperative law 
was scheduled to come up for action by 
the legislature at that session. The 
organized farm interests of the State, 
however, are not making any deter¬ 
mined effort to pass the measure over 
the Governor’s head. 
The matter will come up for intensive 
action on the part of the farm groups 
next year. In the meantime, the farm¬ 
ers plan to bring the needs of the re¬ 
vision of the cooperative law more force¬ 
fully to the attention of Governor Sil- 
zer. The Governor’s veto was on the 
basis that the bill was a price-fixing 
measure, that it was a combination in 
restraint of fi’ee trade and that it was 
not solidly desired by the farmers. Dr. 
Frank App of the New Jersey Federa¬ 
tion of County Boards of Agriculture 
refuted the veto message of the Gover¬ 
nor and pointed out the fact that the 
law in its intent was in accord wih the 
Capper-Volstead Cooperative Market¬ 
ing Act, which has had country-wide 
endorsement and that it is patterned 
after the cooperative marketing laws of 
22 States.
