We have had a new supply 
of trespass signs made up. 
This time they are made of 
extra heavy linen on which the 
lettering is printed directly. 
There is no card facing to be 
water-soaked by the rain and 
blown away by the wind. We 
have had these new signs made 
up of extra heavy material be¬ 
cause severe storms will tear 
and otherwise make useless a 
lighter constructed material. 
We unreservedly advise far¬ 
mers to post their land and 
the notices we have prepared 
comply in all respects with the 
law. The price to subscribers is 
95 cents a dozen, the same rate

Among the Farmers of 
New York 
Tioga County.— The Tioga' Countv 
Picnic will be held on the fair grounds at 
Oswego on Saturday August 2. The com¬ 
mittee found it necessary to set the date 
ahead because of conflicting dates. The 
picnic this year is being fostered by the 
Farm Bureau, Home Bureau, Junior 
Projects, Poma Grange and clubs, and 
•Chamber of Commerce throughout the 
county. Each of the cooperative or¬ 
ganizations are putting forth every effort 
to make the day worth while. We have 
had a few hot days but for the most part 
the weather has been rather cool for this 
time of the year. We have had but few 
days or nights without a shower. Most 
hay has been cut but it has been very cool 
to cure it. All crops are way behind in 
growth. Prices of corn and potatoes is 
good. 
Grass is conceded to be rather light in 
yield. On a trip to the southern part of 
the county I saw one enormous field of 
timothy but it was the finest I had ever 
seen. It was absolutely clean of weeds 
and stood thick and tall and headed 
nicely. Quite an acreage of buckwheat 
has been sown. In fact the acreage Seems 
a little greater than usual. Because the 
early season was so wet other crops could 
not be put in. The abundance of showers 
and the presidential campaign seemed to 
have a rather depressing effect on farmers 
and people in general.— Mrs. Daka 
Burch ard.

Franklin County.— Farmers in Frank¬ 
lin County are busy haying with about an 
average crop reported. All of the crops 
are coming on but they are very late. 
Cows are commencing to dry up some¬ 
what and the milk prices have been most 
discouraging to farmers. Help on farms 
is hard to get and wages are high. Help 
for haying are demanding $4 to 4.50 per 
day. The T. B. test in dairy herds has 
been commenced in this county. Dr. 
Mulvey of Moors is in charge of the work. 
Eggs are bringing 25c a dozen, old po¬ 
tatoes $1, hay $16 a ton and oats 55c.-

Wyoming County.—I recently crossed 
the county from north to south and east 
to west. It is wonderful to see how much 
work a few farmers can do. But they 
are going to get into trouble in the fail 
unless they have more help. Haying 
started during the second week in July. 
Timothy has just started blooming. 
Not much buckwheat was planted this 
year. Thp stand of torn was light but not 
as bad as it might be. Early potatoes are 
in bloom. Apples will be a light crop. 
Cherry trees are hanging full. There are 
not many pears. The best beans seem 
to be in the eastern part of the county 
and the best wheat is in that section also. 
The milk situation is rather bad. One 
small factory sent back 200 cans one day 
and 80 cans the next. It seems to come 
back for no reason at all. Sometimes one 
can is bad and the rest is sent back be¬ 
cause they come from the same farm. 
Some low test milk is bringing less than 
$1 a hundred after paying for the haul. 
I have met farmers in different sections 
of the county and they all tell the same 
story and ask how long this will last. 
Nearly all admit that they are behind 
in their payments. Some are borrowing 
money for taxes.—O. F. R. 
G. L. F. Pays Dividends 
T HE Cooperative Grange-League- 
Federation Exchange has declared a 
dividend of 6 per cent, on its stock for the 
year July 1 , 1923, to July 1 , 1924, and has 
been engaged in issuing checks for this 
dividend to its approximately 38,000 
farmer members in this territory. The 
receipt of this money, particularly in 
these hard times, is receiving favorable 
comment among farmers and they are 
also favorably impressed with th« good 
management of a farmers’ cooperative 
which is able in spite of many difficulties 
to declare a dividend.
