The WINDMILL with a RECORD 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor has behind it 9 
years of wonderful success. It is not an experiment. 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor is the Gen¬ 
uine Self-Oiling Windmill, with every moving 
part fully and constantly oiled. 
Oil an Aermotor once a year and it is always 
oiled. It never makes a squeak. 
The double gears run in oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. They 
are always flooded with oil and are protected from dust and sleet. 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor is so thoroughly oiled that it runs in the 
slightest breeze. It gives more service for the money invested than 
any other piece of machinery on the farm. 
You do not have to experiment to get a windmill 
that will run a year with one oiling. The Auto-oiled Aermotor is 
a tried and perfected machine. 
Our large factory and our superior equipment enable us to produce economically and 
accurately. Every purchaser of an Aermotor gets the benefit from quantity production. 
The Aermotor is made by a responsible company which has specialized in steel windmills for 36 years.

League Quits Committee 
Resolution to Increase Price Causes Break 
FOR 50 YEARS 
HAVE LED ALL IMITATORS.

T^HF tense situation in the dairy in- 
f dustry came to a rather dramatic 
climax at what is probably the last 
meeting of the Committee of 15 repre¬ 
senting all of the milk organizations in 
the New York territory, held at Utica on 
June 30, when the three members repre¬ 
senting the Dairymen’s League got up 
and walked out of the meeting. The with¬ 
drawal from the Committee on the part 
of these men followed the reading of a 
resolution by S. A. Piszczek of Newport, 
an independent, to fix the price at $2.33, 
and amended by C. W. Newton of 
Buffalo, a non-pooler, to read: 
Resolved that this committee urgently 
recommend that the members of the 
groups request their executive com¬ 
mittees to use their best endeavors to 
obtain an increased base price for Class 1 
milk on and after July 10, 1924. 
At the annual meeting of the Dairy¬ 
men’s League Cooperative Association 
on June 19th, Mr. John D. Miller, speak¬ 
ing for the League, stated that any at¬ 
tempt on the part of the Committee of 
15 to set milk prices would be unlawful 
and impractical and that if the Com¬ 
mittee continued to attempt to fix prices, 
he would advise the League representa¬ 
tives to withdraw. 
Tuck’s Proposal Tabled 
The first indication of an impending 
break came when the non-league members 
of the committee voted to table, until the 
next meeting, a resolution submitted by 
Mr. Charles Tuck, representing the 
League. This resolution suggested, as 
the committee’s next move, a “survey 
of the needs of the New York milk market 
and the production of the so-called 
Metropolitan Milk Shed” to be made 
under the direction of Dr. G. F. Warren 
of the New \ ork State College of Agri¬ 
culture. The non-league men argued 
that what they wanted was quick action 
for the relief of the dairy farmers. Mr. 
Tuck’s plan was to first get the facts. 
The crisis of the meeting came after 
Mr. Piszczek’s resolution, Henry Burden 
of Cazenovia, representing the League 
and chairman of the committee, asked the 
committee to select another chairman, 
saying he could not remain in the chair as 
long as the question of price fixing was 
up. Secretary C. W. Halliday of North 
Chatham, representing the Sheffield 
Farms Producers group, urged Mr. Bur¬ 
den to remain, and, if he so desired, vote 
against the resolution. This, the chair¬ 
man declared, he could not do and keep 
his self-respect. The League men stated 
that they were not authorized to discuss 
prices and if price discussion was con¬ 
tinued they would be forced to withdraw. 
“The Dairymen’s League will see the price 
advanced,” he stated, “as soon as it can 
be. The League is anxious to advance 
the price, but we know the conditions.” 
He added that last year when the price 
was advanced, unorganized milk poured 
into New York from all parts of the 
State, and from outside of it and the same 
thing would happen again. A vote of 
confidence was passed after Mr. Burden 
resigned and Mr. Roseoe Sargent of 
Sandy Creek, representing the Eastern 
States group, was chosen chairman. 
League Members Leave Meeting 
It was at this point that Mr. Newton 
offered his amendment to the original 
resolution eliminating any reference to 
definite price figures. This amendment 
had no effect in changing Mr. Burden’s 
action and the new chairman called for a 
discussion of the amendment. Mr. Tuck 
^neIi.took the floor. He said, “You 
gentlemen have deliberately pushed this 
matter wlttre I have to repeat what I 
have said kindly and forced to say kindly 
again. . . . Wd N have asked you to 
consider carefully "the plan I offered and 
have tabled it. Ye\u will not face the 
issues of collectively bargaining. These 
are the issues at stake.”'' He;said that he 
would be false to the industry if he did 
not know that what was being proposed 
was false and fundamentally wrong. 
Upon closing his remarks the league 
representatives consisting of Mr. Burden, 
Mr. Tuck and L. H. Thompson of Hol¬ 
land Patent, as well as about forty league 
member spectators, left the room in a 
body, much to the apparent amazement 
of the others present. One league-mem¬ 
ber spectator remained, B. A. Capron of 
Boonville, who was accorded the floor. 
He urged the committee to consider their 
action carefully, vote down the resolution 
and then urge the League men to return. 
During his remarks he mentioned how 
more milk flowed into Boonville when the 
price was advanced. Nevertheless the 
resolution was unanimously adopted. 
The committee then voted To adjourn 
until July 12. 
American Agriculturist will discuss 
the situation editorially next week. 
New York County Notes 
Warren County.—The hay crop is 
very late and the prospects are for a light 
crop. All crops are late and not looking 
any too good. A cold May and a dry 
June have put vegetation way back. 
Many fields had to be replanted the 
second time and seeds of all kinds did not 
germinate well. Farmers are putting in 
fodder corn and late oats for fodder to 
save the poor hay crop. The farm and 
home bureau is holding semi-monthly 
meetings, which are well attended. The 
prices of farm products are about the 
same as last year. There are evidences 
of the white pine blister rust in all parts 
of the county.—R. J. Armstrong. 
Ulster County.—-The annual farm and 
Home Bureau picnic will be held at For¬ 
syth Park, Kingston, on August 28th. 
I here will be barnyard golf, baseball, 
speeches and eats. As in other years, 
the Home Bureau will have charge of 
refreshments. E. W. Hathaway, of Port 
Ewen, is chairman of the picnic com¬ 
mittee. Serving on the committee with 
Mr. Hathaway are Mrs. William Warren, 
Hurley; Mrs. Charles Smith, Asbury; 
R. J. Harder, Lake Katrine; Mrs. G. F. 
Rice, Kingston; A. E. Jansen, New Paltz; 
Fred DuBois, New Paltz. 
Leaves of Memory 
{Continued frovi page 21) 
Financial success is often the result of 
discovery, patent, monopoly, accident, 
or trickery. The homage we pay to the 
man who has “made money” is out of all 
proportion to his value to society. 
The great benefactors of the earth 
have been mostly poor men. 
Jesus was poor, but He bequeathed 
Joy to others. 
Socrates was poor, but gave an exhibi¬ 
tion of fearless death. 
Emerson was poor, but he has enriched 
the world. 
Nancy Hanks was almost in penury, 
but she gave the world Lincoln. 
I call you to think of the army of 
teachers who are doomed to remain poor, 
but who are making the earth rich in good 
things. 
If you can love and unselfishly serve, 
anywhere in the world, you are not a 
failure. If you can put the glow of one 
rosy-sunrise of hope in the heart of a 
child, you do not belong to the “54.” 
Doubtless all of us, whether we live 
in country or in town, want to be in¬ 
dependent in our old age. Let us save 
while we are young to that end. But if 
through sickness, loss of fortune, or any 
of the accidents of life, we come to sixty- 
five with little laid away, if we live to 
make the world better every day, we will 
have much to live for and be glad about. 
Anyway, however the bank balance is, 
if we have tried, God will be in His 
heaven” and all will be right with us. 
Let us never despair!— Dr. J. W. Hol¬ 
land, Minnesota.
