Mr. Arthur T. Warner, of Cobleskill, N. 
Y., has recently purchased from us our 
last son of Dutchland Colantha Sir Inka, 
out of Fishkill Johanna Fayne Lou, who 
made the remarkable record of 849 lbs. of 
butter and 19,464 lbs. of milk as a senior 
two year old. Mr. Warner writes: 
“You maybe interested to know that 
this bull will be used upon daughters 
and granddaughters of Sir Ormsby 
Segis Korndyke Pontiac, who is sired by 
a son of Pietertje Maid Ormsby, and 
from a 1000 pound (25,000 pounds of 
milk) daughter of King Segis Pontiac 
Count. I thought your Colantha breed¬ 
ing would make a good out-cross, and I 
was also very greatly impressed with the 
splendid dam of this bull.”

Committee of 15 Meets 
And Other Subjects of Interest to Dairymen 
T HE dairy committee of 15 met at 
Utica on Saturday, August 9th, and 
was well attended by both members and 
many visitors interested in the milk 
situation. 
The chief subject of discussion was the 
need for better prices for milk. Mr. 
Sargeant, chairman of the committee, 
and one of the representatives of the 
Eastern States Association, discussed the 
increased demand for milk in the markets 
recently. He stated that while he was 
visiting the office of a large milk handler 
in New York City, that they had tele¬ 
phoned all over the country to get more 
milk to supply their trade. Mr. Sargeant 
said that St. Louis is asking for milk, 
which is very unusual, and that a big 
demand existed in Boston, Philadelphia 
and Chicago. Mr. Sargeant was opposed 
to the resolution asking a specific price, 
because he said that conditions were 
such that the committee did not know 
what price they would be able to obtain. 
This resolution which Mr. Sargeant 
opposed called for a price of class one 
milk at $2.33 per hundred, which is a 
rise of 47c over the price of $1.86 which 
prevailed before recent increases. 
Recommends Higher Price 
Mr. C. YV. Halliday, secretary of the 
committee, and representing the Sheffield 
group, said that the advance in price 
would probably cause the dealers to 
advance the retail price one cent a 
quart to the consumer in New York 
City. Mr. Halliday said that if the 
price of class one milk was only $2.10 
instead of $2.33 the dealers would prob¬ 
ably raise the retail price one cent a 
quart, or 47c a hundred, and therefore 
make a big profit on the difference. 
Mr. Garlock, president of the Eastern 
States Producers, spoke for the Boshart 
resolution, which recommended a rise in 
prices without stating any specific price. 
This resolution follows: 
“Whereas there has been a marked increase 
in the consumption of fluid milk in New York 
City, and a decided decrease in production 
with the price of grain steadily advancing, 
“Therefore, be it resolved that it is the 
sentiment of this committee that all groups 
urgently recommend a decided increase, to date 
from August loth. 
This resolution was adopted unani¬ 
mously. 
At the preceding meeting of the Com¬ 
mittee of 15, a subcommittee of 5 was 
appointed to make a study of the general 
situation and to recommend a plan that 
would help to solve the present problem 
of marketing milk in this territory. 
Mr. Fred Boshart, representing Sheffield 
producers, was made the head of this 
subcommittee. 
“The subcommittee of 5 was to report 
at this meeting,” said Mr. Boshart, 
“but this subject is so large and perplexing 
that it is not possible to make a report 
with recommendations to-day. It will 
have to be done at some future time.” 
ported that an invitation had been 
extended to President Slocum of the 
Dairyman’s League urging the return of 
its three resigned members to the com¬ 
mittee of 15. 
“I am personally satisfied, however,” 
said Mr. Sargeant, “that the pool has no 
intention of associating themselves with 
us any more.” 
The meeting and discussions were 
very harmonious and there seemed to 
be a very evident desire on the part of 
all members to try to work together 
to find some solution that would result 
in a benefit to the distressed dairy farmers. 
A Good Home-Made Fly Chaser 
HE common cattle flies which gather 
on the backs of cows and annoy 
them so that milk production is de¬ 
creased, can be eliminated by a home¬ 
made spray mixture that costs only 1 
cent a day for each cow. 
A spray mixture recommended by 
J. W. Bartlett, professor of dairy hus¬ 
bandry at the New Jersey State College 
of Agriculture, consists of the following 
ingredients: 4 ]/? quarts coal tar dip, 
quarts fish oil, 3 quarts coal oil, 3 
quarts whale oil, 1 'A quarts oil of tar, 
3 pounds laundry soap. 
Dissolve the soap in water and add 
the other ingredients. Mix the •combina¬ 
tion thoroughly and bring the whole up 
to 30 gallons by adding lukewarm water. 
This spray will not injure the coats of 
the animals. It is well to spray twice 
daily; once in the morning after milking 
and again in the afternoon. Thirty 
gallons will spray 40 cows for ten days 
at a cost of one cent per cow per day. 
DOES A SILO NEED A ROOF? 
I have a silo, but as yet have no roof on it. My friends 
say that it is not good for the cows. Will you kindly 
give me your advice? I would also like to know what is 
the best variety of corn to drill for silage and how much 
to use per acre.—A. J. B., New York. 
I N the first place this inquiry was not 
signed by the subscriber’s full name. 
As a result we were unable to give him 
immediate and direct advice. It is not 
always possible to answer questions 
directly and immediately in our columns 
due to pressure of other subject matter 
and due to lack of space. If our readers 
have any questions whatsoever, we are 
only too glad to answer them imme¬ 
diately by direct mail. If it is desired on 
the part of the subscriber that the ques¬ 
tion do not appear in the columns, we 
will gladly oblige; however, SIGN YOUR 
INQUIRIES with your full name and 
address. 
As far as feed value is concerned, there 
is no particular value in putting a roof 
on the silo. Silage is just the same 
whether it is covered or not. Where the 
value of a roof does come in, is the con¬ 
venience in handling the silage. It was 
our experience several years ago after 
we had built two concrete silos, to go into 
the winter without having roofs on the

Suggests Investigation 
“I also think a subcommittee will have 
to be sent to some of the western States, 
perhaps Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland 
and Pittsburg, to see what they are 
accomplishing. Then we will have some¬ 
thing substantial to recommend that 
will be beneficial. 
“The New England situation is in 
confusion, and the western States as 
well as those in Poughkeepsie and Albany 
are above the New York market. You 
must take into consideration the situa¬ 
tion in these different cities.” 
The committee instructed Mr. Boshart 
to go ahead with his investigations, but 
voted to continue their regular monthly 
meeting at Utica. 
During the meeting of the committee, 
two plans involving centralizing sales 
control were submitted. These were 
referred to the subcommittee of 5 for 
consideration. Chairman Sargeant re¬ 
silos. Pressure of work made it im¬ 
possible to cover them. Before we could 
get at the job, a heavy snow-storm came 
and covered the silage. It made the 
nastiest mess you ever saw. It was bad 
enough when it rained and- made the 
silage sloppy, hut it was a whole lot 
worse when it snowed. After that 
experience we stopped all work on the 
place to get those silos covered. 
Cornell 11 or Luce’s Favorite should 
make excellent silage corn for you in 
Niagara County. However, your soil 
and local conditions may alter this. Our 
advice to you would be to consult your 
county agricultural agent, whose head¬ 
quarters are at Lockport and who will be 
able to tell you what'variety of silage corn 
is giving the best satisfaction in your 
locality. The advantage of Cornell 11 
lies in the fact that it not only produces 
a good percentage of dry matter but the 
silage contains a lot of ears and in that is 
where the value of silage counts.
