American Agriculturist, August 16, 1924 
Among the Farmers 
Where to Apply for Your Auto Operator s License 
A WORKING agreement lias been 
established between the county clerks 
of New York State and Commissioner 
Harnett of the State Board of Vehicle 
Bureau to make it more convenient for 
applicants to get their drivers’ licenses. 
The agreement was established at a 
recent conference held between Com¬ 
missioner Harnett and the county clerks 
at the recent annual meeting of county 
clerks held in Mayville, Chautauqua 
County. 
In the counties of Albany, New York, 
Queens, Kings, Bronx, and Richmond, the 
Motor Vehicle Bureau will issue licenses 
from its own offices. 
In the counties of Erie, Monroe, Ontario 
and Onondaga, the licensing of ah drivers 
will be under the jurisdiction of branch 
offices of the State Tax Department in the 
cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Utica and 
Syracuse. The county clerks in these 
counties will also act as an issuing agency. 
In all other counties of the state, the 
office of the county clerk ,will be the 
central distributing agency for all tran¬ 
sactions dealing with motor vehicle 
affairs. 
Big Dairy Exhibit Planned at 
State Fair 
MINIATURE Niagara Falls in the 
Dairy Building will give visitors at 
the New York State Fair this year a vivid 
and graphic idea of how much milk is 
produced in New York State. Over the 
brink of this minature falls will flow the 
equivalent of the daily production of milk 
in New York State. It promises to be 
one of the features of the fair and is being 
planned jointly by the New York State 
College of Agriculture, the State Experi¬ 
ment Station at Geneva and the New 
York State Department of Farms and 
Markets. After the milk flows over the 
falls, it will pass through miniature milk 
factories, coming out of these little 
structures in the form of butter, cheese 
and other dairy products. In addition to 
the operation of the falls, a free motion 
picture show will be given showing features 
of the dairy industry. The entire dairy 
exhibit will be worth seeing. 
New York County Notes 
Cortland County. —The hay crop at 
this writing, August 4, is about three- 
quarters harvested. It has been generally 
good throughout the county. The cab¬ 
bage crop promises to be a good one, 
having made up for the early unfavorable 
weather. There is a large acreage of 
cabbage in this county this year. Oats 
are looking fine, much better than was 
expected some time ago. Potatoes are 
also doing well, no blight in evidence yet. 
Corn is still small for this time of the year. 
Eggs are selling for 32c a dozen.—G. A. B. 
Dutchess County. —Farmers are about 
through haying and are getting into their 
oats. No rain during July is affecting the 
corn crop. City boarders are more numer¬ 
ous than in former years. From $15 to 
$20 is being paid at farm houses. Help 
on the farm is scarce. Women and 
children are working in the fields.—H. J.H. 
Delaware County.—Owing to the late 
season and unfavorable weather con¬ 
ditions, only a few farmers are through 
haying. There is still a great deal of 
grass standing. Oats and corn are look¬ 
ing fine, although corn is very late. 
Farmers everywhere are having a hard 
struggle because of the low price for milk. 
Calf hides are 80c, butter 40e, eggs 30c at 
the farm. Feed is going higher.—E. M.N. 
In Western New York 
Ontario County. —On the last day of 
July we had a very fine rain which was 
much needed. Farmers are about finished 
haying. It did not make a heavy crop, 
which was especially true of mixed hay. 
Wheat harvest is very late; but very little 
made as yet. The crop generally looks 
poor. It looked good last spring and it is 
quite a mystery what happened to it. It 
seems to be thin on the ground and the 
straw is short. Barley and oats are 
making good growth, which is also true 
of corn and potatoes, especially con¬ 
sidering the lateness of the season. Po- 
tatoes and beans are doing very well. The 
apple crop around Canandaigua will be 
light. Sour cherries made a good crop, 
but in most cases the price did not warrant 
the picking.—E. T. B. 
Chautauqua County. —Farmers are 
busy haying. There was quite a fair 
acreage of buckwheat sown this season 
and it is looking good. In fact all crops 
are doing well. The apple crop is about 
medium.—P. S. S. 
Pennsylvania Farmers Visit 
Long Island 
GROUP of farmers from Schuylkill 
County, Pa., made a trip by motor to 
Uorig Island on August 7, under the direc¬ 
tion of W. B. Niesley of the State College 
of Agriculture of Pennsylvania. 
It was the first time that many of them 
had ever had the opportunity to see the 
Atlantic Ocean, and the first time that 
most of the party had ever seen 100-acre 
potato fields. Most of the farmers in the 
section represented by the tourists grow 
less than 15 acres of potatoes and the 
vast areas of potatoes in Nassau and 
Suffolk counties were a revelation to them, 
Another source of amazement was the 
size of Long Island. Many people have 
the idea that it is a small tract or territory. 
In addition to visiting several potato 
and cauliflower farms, the party also 
visited some of Long Island famous duck 
ranges and poultry farms. Among the 
more prominent farms visited were those 
of Henry Talmage at River head, R. M. 
Lupton at Mattituck, and the Hallock 
Farm at Orient. 
Eastern Pennsylvania Notes 
Oliver D. Schock 
OWNSHIP officers of Tilden, Berks 
County, notified all owners or tenants 
of properties infested with Canada 
thistle, wild carrots, blue daisies (chicory), 
and other noxious weeds that the same 
must be destroyed, or prosecutions under 
an Act of Assembly will follow. 
Yellow Transparent and Early Harvest 
apples are selling from orchards at $2 to 
$3 per bushel. Southern Pennsylvania 
growers ship to the Philadelphia and 
Baltimore markets while others find a 
satisfactory demand in the anthracite 
coal-field towns. 
The customary barn fires caused by 
lightning are being reported in local 
newspapers. These are more frequent 
when barns are filled with newly harvested 
crops, thus resulting in heavy losses. 
Farmers’ mutual fire insurance companies 
usually protect and insure owners at a 
minimum cost. One of the largest mutual 
companies covered all of last year’s losses 
by levying an assessment of $1.50 per 
$1000 insurance for fire losses and 50 cents 
per thousand for storm damages to 
buildings. 
Wheat and rye was harvested from ten 
days to two weeks later than last year, 
owing to a protracted season of heavy 
rains. The hay crop is being harvested 
under unfavorable conditions for its 
proper curing and storage. Alfalfa yields 
are phenomenally large and difficult to 
handle on account of excessive moisture. 
Many agricultural communities are 
being visited by parties anxious to pur¬ 
chase antiques. In some localities such 
collectors are so numerous, that they are 
regarded as unwelcome visitors. Pewter- 
ware, old dishes and glass, old shawls, 
grandfathers’ clocks, samplers, woolen 
quilts, antique lanterns, bed-warmers, 
etc., are eagerly purchased and later 
reach city auction rooms.
