League Prices For June $2.33 
New York Farm News 
T he Dairymen's League Cooperative 
Association, Inc. has voted the fol¬ 
lowing prices for the month of June: 
Class 1, for fluid consumption, $2.33. 
Class 2, for cream and ice cream, 
$2.05. 
Class 3, for milk used chiefly in the 
manufacture of evaporated, condensed 
and powdered milk and hard cheese, a 
differential of 65 cents above the price 
of milk going into the manufacture of 
butter. 
Class 4, for milk used in the manu¬ 
facture of butter and cheese, ■ will be 
determined by the New York market 
quotations on these commodities. 
Several changes have been decided 
upon in handling milk in classes 2, 3 
and 4. Class 2 has been subdivided 
into three pai’ts and differentials have 
been determined depending on the 
method in which the by-products are 
disposed of. By more efficiently dis¬ 
posing of by-products it is expected 
higher prices will be experienced by 
the farmers. This is particularly evi¬ 
dent in class 3, which carried a differ¬ 
ential of only 57 cents last month. 
NEW YOEK TO RIVAL FEDERAL 
EXHIBIT AT NATIONAL 
DAIRY SHOW 
An exhibition showing in detailed 
form the value and importance of the 
New York State dairy industry is be¬ 
ing planned by George E. Hogue, dep¬ 
uty commissioner of farms and mai’- 
kets for the National Dairy Show. Mr. 
Hogue completed an inspection at the 
State fair grounds yesterday to deter¬ 
mine space requirements of the exhibit. 
A graphic panorama of the State 
industry that will rank in complete¬ 
ness and beauty with the $25,000 gov¬ 
ernment exhibit is planned by the 
State. In it New York’s reasons for 
claiming leading place among the 
States in the industry will be brought 
out. 
An appropriation of $20,000 to cover 
cost of the exhibit was made at the 
last session of the Legislature. The 
bill has not yet been signed by Gov¬ 
ernor Smith, but farm leaders have 
little doubt he will do so, for he urged 
its adoption in a special message. 
One of the features of the exhibit 
will be an exposition of the State’s 
work in protecting its citizens by a 
campaign to free its dairy cattle of 
tuberculosis. 
Another feature, which will prob¬ 
ably be incorporated, is the importance 
of increasing individual yield of dairy 
cattle in the State. 
LEAGUE TO LOCATE PLANT AT 
FORT EDWARD 
Officials of the Dairymen’s League at 
a recent meeting appropriated $30,000 
for a plant in Fort Edward, Washing¬ 
ton County, N. Y. Several options 
have been taken on property in the 
village. The owners of the local (Mor- 
risanna) plant have been approached 
with a proposition to sell their plant to 
the League. It is understood that if the 
local owners do not sell, the League 
will take up one of their options here 
and build a $30,000 receiving station 
similar to the one just completed in 
Cambridge. 
The option that meets with the ap¬ 
proval of the officers, who have been 
over the ground, is the old electric light 
property. This with land adjoining 
would give the desired size and in ad¬ 
dition would have the accessibility of 
sewers and railroad siding. 
POTATO GROWERS TO TOUR LONG 
ISLAND JUNE 20, 21, 22 
Seed potato growers from New York, 
Maine, Vermont, Wisconsin, Minnesota, 
Michigan, New Jersey and other seed 
producing areas and Canada will be 
represented on the annual Long Island 
potato growers tour which starts from 
Mineola, Nassau County, on June 20, 
21 and 22. 
The tour offers seed potato growers 
an opportunity to establish direct per¬ 
sonal contact with one of the greatest 
seed potato markets in the world. Esti¬ 
mates based on Census reports indicate 
that last year Long Island farmers 
grew over 35,000 acres of potatoes with 
a total production of approximately 
7,000,000 bushels, about 20 per cent of 
the entire New York State potato crop. 
Considering the fact that Long Island 
potato growers depend almost entirely 
on other sections of the country for 
their seed, a market for nearly 500,000 
bushels is thus opened to seed potato 
growers. 
The tour consists of a two-day trip 
through eastern Suffolk County. The 
third day consists of visiting potato 
growers in western Suffolk and Nassau 
County. 
NEW YORK HAS LARGER DELE- 
GATION AT NATIONAL HOL- '

gation will include 23 members. The

In addition to the official delegates, 
a large number of the state association 
expect to attend the meeting including: 
N. S. Prescott, M. C. Bond, W. R. 
Smith, W. M. Rider, as well as other 
well known breeders from other parts 
of the State. 
On the two days following the meet¬ 
ing, a National Holstein Sale will be 
held under the auspices of the Ohio 
Holstein Association. New York State 
is sending two dozen of its finest speci¬ 
mens of the breed by special car. The 
consignment includes the new State 
champion senior 2-year old heifer with 
a record of 1,035 pounds of butter and 
25,554 pounds of milk. She is con¬ 
signed by George M. Smith of Water- 
town. The consignment was selected 
by the New York State Holstein-Frie¬ 
sian Association. 
ALONG THE SOUTHERN TIER OF 
NEW YORK 
Ground has been broken for a new 
community market at Binghamton, on 
the plot of ground given the City for 
this purpose by the Endicott-Johnson 
Company. The intention is to have it 
ready for business by the first of Au¬ 
gust. Farmers and city folks all hope so. 
Baled hay brings $26 a ton in the 
Binghamton markets, and baled straw, 
$16. Some are paying $14 a ton for 
hay in the barn and the seller pitches 
it to the press. 
The pine grove on the North Farm 
at East Maine is being cut down and 
the logs sent to the mill. At Union 
Centre there is another skidway of pine 
logs, larger than any seen in recent 
years. But the farmers in that neck 
of the woods have set out a good many 
seedling pines and other varieties of 
wood this spring. That is right. Keep 
the woods growing. 
On May 22, much of the hill land was 
too wet and cold to work. Many farm¬ 
ers have not yet sowed their oats and 
very little corn or potatoes have been 
planted. Good warm weather is sorely 
needed. 
If it is farm news, you will see it in 
the American Agriculturist. 
You Can Buy a De Laval for $50 and 
Up—On Such Easy Terms that 
It wm Pay for Itself 
Don’t get the idea that a De 
Laval Cream Separator is high 
priced because it is the best. Con- 
.sidered on the basis of service a 
De Laval is the cheapest separa¬ 
tor made. A De Laval costs a 
little, more to begin with but lasts 
three or four times longer, and 
does better work all the time. 
You can get a De Laval for as 
low as $50, and up, depending on 
the amount of milk you have to 
separate. No matter if you have 
one or a thousand cows, there is 
a De Laval just right for you. 
And you can buy a De Laval on 
such liberal terms that it will pay 
for itself while you are using it. 
When you get a De Laval you 
not only get the best separator 
service for the longest time, at 
the least expense—on the easiest 
terms, if desired—but you can see 
what you are buying. You can 
try it; your local De Laval dealer 
will iastruct you in its use and 
provide service should it ever be 
necessary; and you can always get 
l)arts from the De Laval Company 
at any time during the 20 to 30 
years, or more, your machine 
should last. These important con¬ 
siderations are sometimes over¬ 
looked. 
See the new 1923 De Laval at 
your local dealer’s store. It is 
the best cream separator ever 
built. It has many improvements, 
skims cleaner, requires less care, 
and will last longer than any cream 
separator on the market. 
You may be losing enough 
butter-fat with your present sepa¬ 
rator or by hand skimming to pay 
for a new De Laval every year and 
not getting it. If you do not know 
the name of your nearest De Laval 
agent, write us direct for complete 
information.

CRAINE 
TRIPLE 
WALL 
SILOS 
SRiliNE 
Lasting Satisfaction 
You can easily tell a Craine 3-Wall Silo from any 
other. It is the only manufactured wood silo that 
has neither hoops nor lugs to hold it together. 
It gives its owner lasting satisfaction. It is the 
cheapest silo to own. It stays put without tinkering. 
Craine Silos are constructed to keep warmth and 
juices in; to keep cold and weather out. A strong 
stave silo inside is covered with thick Silafelt, and 
the patented, Crainelox Spiral Covering outside 
binds the entire structure. This forms a hand¬ 
some building with every square inch of surface 
protected in every direction. 
Any old stave, iron-hooped silo can be 
rebuilt into a permanent Craine 3-WallSilo 
at about half the cost of a new one.
