Farmers’ Standard Carbide Com¬ 
mittee Meeting Postponed 
HE meeting of the committee ap¬ 
pointed to investigate the affairs 
of the Farmers’ Standard Carbide Co., 
scheduled for September 6th, has been ad¬ 
journed to September 20th. Our attorneys 
who have been investigating this, advise 
us that they are informed a notice for a 
regular stockholders’ meeting will be 
sent out for that date, and that this 
notice will ask for authority to sell or 
mortgage the 'property. It is possible 
that some report in connection with the 
proposed reorganization will be pre¬ 
sented at this meeting. In view of the 
exceedingly large capitalization of this 
company and the great amount of stock 
outstanding, the reorganization will not 
be an easy problem, and careful con¬ 
sideration must be given to any proposed 
plan. Apparently, the committee is 
making a conscientious effort to serve 
the best interest of stockholders, but 
before the plan is presented, it is im¬ 
possible to state whether it is for the 
stockholders’ best interest to accept. 
Our attorneys believe that no hasty action 
should be taken and that the STOCK¬ 
HOLDERS SHOULD NOT CONSENT 
TO ANYTHING until they have been 
fully advised as to all the facts. A further 
■report will be given after the meeting of 
September 20. 
Western New York Fruit Cooper¬ 
ative Reorganization: Peet 
Resigns 
HE Western New York Fruit Growers’ 
Cooperative Packing Association is 
in the process of reorganization, both as to 
management and policy. The outstand¬ 
ing changes are the discontinuance of the 
operating department, the substitution 
of Government inspection for association 
inspection and the reduction of overhead. 
The discontinuance of the operating 
department means the resignation of 
Nelson R. Peet, general manager of the 
entire association and one of its organizers, 
as well as the resignation of R. W. Reese, 
manager of that department. Mr. Peet 
is succeeded by W. J. Hall of Lockport, 
president of the association, who will 
take temporary charge. L. E. Water of 
the Chicago office of the Federated Fruit 
and Vegetable Growers, has been made 
sales manager. 
New York Guernsey Breeders 
Appoint Business Manager 
J. H. RIKERT of Schultzville, 
. Dutchess County, N. Y,, has been 
appointed business manager for the New 
York State Guernsey Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion, Inc., with office at 302 Fayette 
Park Building, Syracuse, N. Y. 
Mr. Rikert was born and reared on a 
general dairy farm in Dutchess County. 
In college he specialized in Animal Hus¬ 
bandry. During his senior year he was 
student instructor in Animal Husbandry 
and also had charge of two classes of short 
course students. In the fall of 1920 he 
won both silver prizes in judging horses 
and cows at the State Fair. 
Veteran Driver Killed at State 
Fair 
HE opening of the trotting program 
at the New York State Fair was 
marred by a fatal accident on Monday in 
which Tommy Hines, veteran driver, lost 
his life. The fatality occurred in the second 
heat of the 2:05 trot, when Bonnie Dell, 
the horse that Mr. Hines was driving! 
collided with Tommy Murphy’s Clyde 
the Great. Hines was thrown from the 
sulky, fracturing his skull. He died as 
he was being lifted into the ambulance. 
Although Mr. Murphy was bruised and 
shaken up in the accident, nevertheless 
he returned to the track to drive in the 
third heat, winning the heat with Clyde the 
Great. The honors of the race went to 
Walter, Sterling, a black gelding, driven 
by Stokes, winner of the first two heats. 
The feature of the opening day’s races 
was the appearance of Tommy Murphy, ' 
a Syracuse man, who is the outstanding 
winner of the season. Mr. Murphy won 
the first race of the day with Hope Frisco, 
Vegetable Growers to Meet 
at Louisville, Ky. 
NUMBER of New York vegetable 
growers are planning to make the 
trip to Louisville, Ky., during the week of 
September 15, to attend the annual 
convention of the Vegetable Growers’ 
Association of America, which is to take 
place in that city. The progx-am is being 
shaped to interest growers in all sections 
of the country, and it is expected that the 
attendance from the South and West will 
be especially strong, thus affording New 
Yorkers a chance to learn how the other 
fellow does it. Special sectional meetings 
will be devoted to greenhouse operations, 
crops for shipment and other phases of 
the business. A tour of greenhouses and 
gardens is planned for one of the days. 
Detailed program may be had by address¬ 
ing the local convention committee, 
220 S. First Street, Louisville, Kentucky.

New York County Notes 
Jefferson County -Rain and more 
rain. Farmers who were planning on 
threshing from the lot are not getting 
along very fast. Grain is rather light 
with plenty of straw, and many fields were 
struck with rust. Corn is coming on 
especially well, many fields having stalks 
measuring 10 to 15 feet and well eared. 
Sweet corn is also a big crop. There is 
promise of an advance of price in milk, 
which is surely good news. But there 
will be h ;s milk, no doubt, for farmers 
cannot afford to pay for the advanced 
price in feed, especially tenants, and so 
they will make what milk they can on the 
feed they can produce on their farms. 
But with 'good sweet ensilage, alfalfa hay, 
and many are raising more of this valuable 
feed each year, ground oats with a little 
bran and oil meal for the grain ration, 
they can get safely through the winter, 
as there will be nothing to buy but the oil 
meal and bran. While this may not be a 
scientific ration, we can prove it is satis¬ 
factory from experience. The poultry- 
raisers are beginning to w r onder what the 
prices are going to be for Thanksgiving. 
There seems to be a good crop of ducks, 
turkeys and chickens. The holiday price 
last year was such a disappointment many 
are anxious to know where they are this 
year. Skunks, foxes, crows and hawks 
have taken their toll. Eggs are 35 to 42c, 
butter 47 to 50c, veal around 10c, boh 
calves $5, and scarce, owing to ill-health. — 
Mrs. C. J. D. 
Schenectady County —The weather in 
this section is very disagreeable and 
farmers cannot get their grain threshed. 
Butter is bringing 35c, eggs 40c, oats 68c, 
buckwheat $1, hay from $14 to $18 a ton, 
calves 16c dressed. Farmers in this sec¬ 
tion have started to press their hay. — 
J. W. G. 
Erie County. — Haying is about all 
over. It made a good crop. Harvesting 
is practically all done. Oats turned out 
particularly well. Corn is coming on 
nicely. Early potatoes are good. We 
experienced a light frost on the 4th of 
September. Eggs are bringing 40c a 
dozen, broilers 20c a pound.—A. C.
