American Agriculturist, September 27, 1924 
Among the Farmers 
Don’t Forget Your 
T HE attention of our readers in New 
York State w.ho own automobiles is 
called to the announcement of the State 
Motor Vehicle Department that the new 
law passed by the last legislature is to be 
rigidly enforced after October 1. In order 
to make it convenient for automobile 
owners, arrangements were made so that 
county clerks in every county were 
equipped to issue the licenses, and these 
licenses could be obtained without ex¬ 
amination before the first of October. 
A statement just received from Com¬ 
missioner Charles A. Harnett says that 
he is very much disappointed in the lack 
of response on the part of up-State people 
to get their licenses "before October 1. 
At the middle of September, only about 
300,000 of the up-State automobile 
owners, out of the 1,500,000, had applied 
for the operator’s license necessary under 
the new motor vehicle law. 
The Commissioner announces that 
after the first of the month a force of 
one hundred and fifty inspectors will 
begin a patrol of the highways and every 
driver without a license will be liable 
to arrest. 
Along the Southern Tier of 
New York 
HE James Quinn farm on the road 
from Binghamton to Chenango Forks, 
having been sold to real estate men, is 
being cut up into building lots and sold. 
A nutnber of houses are already under 
process of construction. “Broad Acres” 
is the name which has been given to this 
tract. This land in the early history of 
Broome County was the home of people 
who came from “ downcast ” and settled 
on the banks of the Chenango river. 
The hay crop along the Susquehanna 
and Chenango rivers proved to be a 
good one. Little hay is being sold locally 
now, however. The price when sales are 
made, is about $20 a ton, delivered. 
Several farmers in the vicinity of 
Conklin Centre suffered severely about 
the 20th of August by a heavy downpour 
of rain, accompanied by wind and light¬ 
ning. Some buildings were entirely torn 
down. Friends of one farmer are getting 
up a purse for him. He had no insurance 
on his property against tornadoes. 
George Wakefield in the town of Maine 
has had an auction and sold off his cows. 
Other farmers are reducing their herds. 
One reason given is the high price of feed 
and the low price of milk. The recent 
advance in the price of milk may have a 
tendency to check tins drift away from 
dairy farming. We hope so. 
The Farm Bureau is giving a’number 
of demonstrations in poultry culling and 
management. 
The Broome County fair had good 
weather except the first day, which was 
wet in the morning, but the attendance 
even on that day was very good. The 
fair has been declared better than usual 
and it is almost always good. 
Oats do not turn out very well. Corn 
has greatly improved with recent warm 
weather and rain.—E. L. V. 
Central Pennsylvania Notes 
J. N. Glover 
HE Milton fair was held the week of 
the 7th with fairly good attendance. 
Center Hall had a great fair last week. 
The Union County fair will be held 
September 30, October 1, 2, and 3. 
Some improvements have been made on 
die grounds and buildings, and the 
premiums have been enlarged. 
Miftiinburg began using their new high- 
school building this week, but Lewisburg 
has been unable to buy the field west of 
town upon which to build their new 
building. 
Preparations are being made for wheat 
seeding, and some fields will be seeded 
this week. No. 44 wheat is not yielding 
so well per acre according to the amount 
Operator’s License 
of straw which it grows. Corn is earing 
better than expected a month ago, yet 
all corn needs this month to mature it. 
Even then late planted corn will be poor. 
Clover seed is ready to cut, but much 
second-crop hay will be made rather than 
to cut for seed. 
Cow sales are being helfi every two 
weeks lately, yet cows are not in good 
demand, except for fresh ones. Late 
potatoes are very promising but early 
ones were a medium crop only. 
Holsteins Lead in Live Stock Exhibit at 
State Fair 
[{Continued from page 208) 
New York and Wisconsin were the 
strong contenders in the Guernsey classes, 
Einmadine Farm at Hopewell Junction, 
N. Y., and F. J. Rueping of Fond du Lac, 
W is., divided the major honors about 
evenly; although Emmadine ran away 
with both grand champions, winning 
that coveted honor on Shorewood Reso¬ 
lute, an entry in the aged bull class, and 
Davlo Yuletide, a two-year-old heifer. 
In the Brown Swiss classes Hull Bros, 
of Painesville, Ohio, captured both 
grand champions. The Connecticut 
Agricultural College and Batchelder 
Farms of Mount Vernon, N. H., divided 
honors in the two top awards among the 
Devon entries. 
Good Turnout of Sheep and Swine 
With over 1,200 entries of sheep and 
swine this Department staged perhaps 
the best exhibition of its kind at Syracuse. 
Among the sheep, the Oxford, Hampshire, 
Cheviots and Dorsets were outstanding 
because of their quality and numbers. ) 
In the Shropshire classes W. S. Hutch¬ 
ings of Coldwater, N. Y., was a large 
winner, while in the Southdown classes, 
Hutchings Brothers of Coldwater made a 
clean sweep. Among the fine wools, 
R. D. Sly of Wakeman, Ohio, and I. B. 
Pattridge of Leicester, N. Y., divided 
honors. New York State was well repre¬ 
sented after the final decisions had been 
made. 
In the Berkshire classes the entries by 
F. E. Kite & Son, of St. Paris, Ohio, and 
Pinehurst Farm of Pinehurst, N. C., were 
exceptionally good. Judge Harpending 
of Dundee, N. Y., also spoke highly of 
the Hampshire exhibit. It was noticeable 
that the quality of the New York State 
herds was not quite as strong as usual, 
the better exhibits coming from out of the 
State. Competition in the Duroc Jersey 
classes was largely between Curies Neck 
Farm of Richmond, Va., and Cassell and 
McGarvey of Fallston, Md. 
The sheep at the fair were estimated at 
a value of $60,000 and the hogs were 
considered to be worth about $25,000. 
Fine Horses Shown 
Some excellent specimens of draft horses 
were shown State Fair visitors who 
watched the judges at their work in the 
ring. Perhaps the most outstanding in¬ 
dividual among the draft entries was 
Louis de Mater, the Belgian stallion 
owned by Bell Bros., of Wooster, Ohio. 
He is said to be the finest Belgian stallion 
ever shown at the State Fair. In the 
Belgian classes, E. J. Snider of New 
Paris, Ind., took the largest number of 
awards. Bell Farms of Wooster, Ohio, 
and Ash-Grove Farms of Saratoga Springs, 
N. Y., were also strong contenders for 
first honors. ^ 
Among the Percherons, the stallion 
Jerome, owned by Highland Farms of 
Greensburg, Pa., was awarded the royal 
purple. Highland Farms also took junior 
and senior champion stallion and junior 
champion mare. Grand champion mare 
went to Carfait, an entry by Tom Corwin 
Farm of Coalton, Ohio. 
In the Clydesdale classes Hay field 
Farm, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., made a clean 
sweep, taking every first place but one, 
and all the grand championships.
