CRAINE 
SILOS 
give three-fold protection to your silage 
They keep warmth and juices in and keep 
cold and weather out. 
Every square inch of a Craine Silo is pro¬ 
tected against stress and strain in any 
direction. 
You can tell a Craine from any other wood 
silo. Smooth and handsome. No hoops to 
tighten or loosen. Once up, a Craine stays 
put. Craine Silos are cheapest to own. 
Send for illustrated catalog. 
Any old stave, iron hooped sUo can be 
rebuilt into a Craine 3-wall Silo at about 
hall the cost of a new one. Catalog 
shows how.

Killed 200 Rats 
At One Baiting 
Dog, Ferret and Traps Failed. Amazing 
Virus Quickly Killed Them All. 
Not a Poison. 
“I was over-run with rats,” writes 
H. 0. Steniert of Redford, Mich. 
“Seemed to be several hundred of them. 
Dog, Ferret and Traps failed. Was 
discouraged. Tried Imperial Virus and 
was rid of them all in a short time. 
Have found I’at skeletons, large and 
small, all over the farm. 
"The year previous Rats killed 200 out of 
300 baby chicks. Last year saved them all. 
Will send for 10 bottles for neighbors, and we 
will clean up the whole neighborhood.” 
Rats, Mice, Gophers, in fact all ftodents, 
greedily eat Imperial Virus on bait. Sets up 
burning fever. Pests die outside hunting air 
and water. Harmless to humans, poultry, pets, 
stock, etc. Economical to use. Indorsed by 
Parm Bureau Experts and large, nationally 
known institutions everywhere.

March Milk Pool Price 
Farm News From Albany and Farm Organizations 
$ 2.20 
T he Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association announces that the gross 
pool price for March is $2.20 per hun¬ 
dred. This price is 55c higher than the 
gross pool price of March a year ago. 
From the gross pool price there will 
be deducted 7c per hundred for ex¬ 
penses, and 10c will be borrowed on 
the Certificate of Indebtedness plan. 
This leaves a gross cash price to farm¬ 
ers of $2.03 per hundred, which is 63c 
higher than the March price of last 
year. The gross price of February 
was $2.38. 
Latest reports state the present con¬ 
ditions indicate that the milk market 
promises to be very satisfactory for the 
dairymen this coming season. 
FARM NEWS FROM ALBANY 
The New York Senate has adopted 
a resolution ordering an investigation 
of the quality of milk and butter in Al¬ 
bany. This resolution followed a pre¬ 
liminary investigation made by Senator 
Straus, which showed that the milk 
used in the Capitol Lunch Room was 
unfit for human consumption. 
In Wayne County, the farm Bureau 
is working out the spray information 
service for the coming season. Enroll¬ 
ment blanks have been sent the grow¬ 
ers, and already over 600 have signed 
up for the season. When the spraying 
season opens it will be possible to reach 
all the growers receiving the service in 
about an hour’s time. That this serv¬ 
ice, not only in Wayne County, but in 
all the other counties having such a 
service has been definitely proven of 
great value by the Western New York 
Cooperative Association, is shown by 
various checkups on the actual commer¬ 
cial pack of the members. It was 
found that the growers living in coun¬ 
ties _ receiving the spray service will 
receive 97 cents more a barrel for 
Baldwins and 85 cents more a barrel 
for Greenings than the growers living 
in counties not having such a service. 
Last year there were 600 growers in 
Wayne County who received the serv¬ 
ice. It is expected that many more will 
register for the work this season.

are SUPERIOR because 
1. Each strain was developed by plant 
breeding experts. 
2. They have averaged highest yields in 
farm'bureau and college tests. 
3. Field and bin inspections by disinter¬ 
ested persons show the disease free¬ 
dom and purity.

- * * meeting of the New York State 
By a vote of 80 to 35, the Assembly Cooperative Council was held in Syra- 
I 
passed the Witter bills, amending the 
Farms and Markets Law, to require 
that all ice cream, no matter what 
fiavor, contain at least 8 per cent but- 
terfat. The bill now goes to the Sen¬ 
ate. In 1922 a law. was enacted making 
the minimum standard of fat content at 
least 8 per cent in plain creams and 
6 V 2 per cent in creams to which con¬ 
fections were added. The present bill 
was introduced on complaint of the 
New York City Health authorities, who 
want one standard for all creams of 
8 per cent minimum butterfat. 
^ ^ 
The Assembly has passed the Kirk¬ 
land Bill, amending the Highway Law 
so as to provide that bridges on State 
highways are to be constructed by the 
State, and that similar bridges on 
county highways are to be paid for on 
a fifty-fifty basis by the State and 
county. _ 
WESTERN NEW YORK NOTES 
ALVA H. PULVER 
Two more cold storage plants have 
been planned for Western New York 
this season, at Charlotte and Newark. 
The papers call for a capitalization of, 
$200,000 on the Charlotte enterprise, 
with a capacity of 60,000 barrels, three 
floors and a basement, 120 by 140 feet. 
A 30-ton ice machine will be installed 
for the manufacture and sale of ice for 
local use, and the icing of cars for the 
New York Central. Arrangements will 
be made for the pre-cooling of fruit and 
packing rooms will facilitate the com¬ 
plete handling of peaches and other 
fruits direct from the orchards. 
At Newark, the plans call for a plant 
with a capacity of 65,000 barrels, to 
cost $250,000. An ice-making plant will 
also be part of the equipment, with an 
output of 30 tons daily. The storage 
will be located near the Northern Cen¬ 
tral Railway, west of Murray street. 
Growers in both districts are naturally 
elated over the prospect of at last real¬ 
izing that their dreams come true on fa¬ 
cilities for storing fruit and vegetables. 
With the returns made by various other 
concerns of like nature, it is a practical 
certainty that both plants will return 
good dividends. 
A district meeting of the Western 
New York Cooperative Packing Asso¬ 
ciation was held at Albion on Friday, 
with an attendance of over 150 mem¬ 
bers, representing associations at Me¬ 
dina, Lyndonville, Knowlesville, Albion, 
Holley, Parma, Waterport, Kendall, 
and other points. Harry E. Wellman 
of Kendall, Chairman of the Produc¬ 
tion Committee, gave a report of his 
work and emphasized the need of pro¬ 
ducing better fruit. M. C. Burritt of 
the extension department of the State 
College, recommended to all members 
that they use the Farm Bureau spray 
service. Those present attested in the 
highest way to the merits of the serv¬ 
ice, many declaring that they received 
50 cents more per barrel than neigh¬ 
bors who did not use the service. 
cuse on Thursday, April 12, This or¬ 
ganization is composed of representa¬ 
tives from every farmers’ cooperative 
commodity organization in New York 
State. The Council meets to discuss 
and take action upon problems which 
concern all of the commodity organiza¬ 
tions. It is the parallel organization 
to the New York State Conference 
Board of Farm Organizations, which is 
composed of representatives of the 
farm organizations not strictly in the 
commodity class. The members of the 
Conference Board are the New York 
State Grange, Dairymen’s League Co¬ 
operative Association, Inc., New York 
State Federation of Farm Bureaus and 
the New York State Horticultural 
Society. 
At its meeting at Syracuse, the Co¬ 
operative Council appointed F. E. Rob¬ 
ertson, manager of the Wool Producers’ 
Association; G. C, Gardinier, transpor¬ 
tation expert of the G. L, F., and C. F. 
Hawes, Transportation Expert of the 
Dair 3 anen’s League, as a committee to 
study and report on the car-pooling 
plan of the National Railway Service 
Corporation. The Council also ap¬ 
pointed another committee, consisting 
of Mr. Henry Burden of the Dairy¬ 
men’s League Cooperative Association, 
Thomas Wright of the New York 
Canning Crops Cooperative Asso¬ 
ciation an4 Professor William E, 
Myers of the New York State College 
of Agriculture to study and make a 
report on the plan for making practical 
use in New York State of the new in¬ 
termediate credit legislation recently 
passed by Congress. 
Watch American Agriculturist for 
further news of the work of these two 
important committees and for articles

credit legislation might be made of use
