American Agriculturist, October 4, 1924 
Among the Farmers 
Robertson Resigns from Maple Co-op-County News 
E. ROBERTSON, who has been 
• acting manager of the Maple Pro¬ 
ducers’ Cooperative Association since 
January, 1923, has severed his connection 
with the association. H. P. Nicholson, 
who has been bookkeeper and acting 
treasurer, will be in charge of operations 
for the immediate future. The associ¬ 
ation recently moved its offices from 307 
S. Franklin Street to the warehouse at 
the corner of Vine Street and Burnett 
Avenue. 
The association now owns its equip¬ 
ment free and clear and its officers have 
been relieved of the personal liabilities 
which they at one time incurred in the 
interest of the organization. Because of 
the unusually heavy expenses incurred in 
its first year of organization and the high 
cost of operating the plant it has been 
impossible to make satisfactory returns 
to producers. 
The association handled in 1922 about 
147,000 gallons of syrup; in 1923 about 
51,000 gallons, and in 1924 about 20,000 
gallons. 
Sheep Growers Find Wool Values 
Strong 
HEEP growers are finding present 
wool values strong and markets 
active, more so than in any previous year 
at this period since the wool growers of 
this state began to sell their wool co¬ 
operatively, according to officers of the 
New York State Sheep Growers’ Co¬ 
operative Association. 
The 1924 pool will exceed that of 1923 
by several thousand pounds. On Septem¬ 
ber 1 it amounted to over 470,000 lbs. 
The following sales have been made at 
what most sheep growers consider very 
satisfactory prices: X combing, 54 cents; 
X clothing, 48 cents; X combing, 52 
cents; X clothing, 44 cents; low and 
common, 40 cents; rejects, 38 cents; tags, 
18 cents. These prices are f. o. b. the 
warehouse at Syracuse. 
New York County Notes 
Cortland County —Potatoes, cabbage 
and corn have made excellent and rapid 
growth during the past two weeks. 
Early cabbage has been selling at the 
car at $6 a ton, while early potatoes are 
being sold anywhere from 80c to $1 a 
bushel. The oat crop is fairly good, 
threshing has been held up on account of 
the heavy rains during the last week in 
August. The pastures are in much better 
condition than in several years at this 
time of the year.—G. A. B. 
Warren County —We are having un¬ 
usually cold nights for this time of the 
year. Corn is not ripe yet, and will take 
fully two weeks before it will be anywhere 
near mature. Potatoes will make a fair 
crop, but they are late, still green. In 
fact, everything is late, not up-to-date 
for this time of the year, and early frosts 
will do great damage. Pastures have 
been poor all year and cows have not 
been doing well. Grain is advancing 
in price each week. Stock of all kinds 
is not in much demand on account of the 
short hay crop and the high price of 
grains. Very little fall plowing done as 
yet.—R. T. A. 
Tioga County. —Tioga County Fair 
experienced a rather disagreeable week. 
The first and last day were very rainy. 
The parking plans for autos this year were 
fine. Any one could get his car out at 
any time without inconveniencing his 
neighbor. The entire parking place was 
one sea of cars. Nevertheless many 
teams and rigs were in evidence. At the 
quoit pitching contest, which was hotly 
contested by twelve teams, Frank Forbs 
and Fred Seager, both of Candor took 
the first place. They represented Tioga 
County at the State Fair. Charles 
Marvin, president of the village of Owego, 
recently purchased the grounds of the 
Agricultural Society for $5,500, the debt 
the society owed, and then presented 
these grounds to the village of Owego as 
a park and playground. The society is 
to have the privilege of holding its "an¬ 
nual affairs there. Thus the society is 
out of debt and the village has gained 
a fine park. Mr. Marvin has made sev¬ 
eral fine gifts of late. One he shared 
with his sister in presenting to the Home 
of Aged Ladies of Owego. Another 
donation was to the Fire Department of 
Owego to purchase new apparatus. —- 
Mrs. D. B. 
In Western New York 
Chautauqua County. —Barns are full 
of hay. Cows are selling all the way from 
$50 to $100, while fat cattle are bringing 
about $18. Grape picking will begin 
about October 10, the latest in years. 
This year Chautauqua County fair was 
the best in years. There was very good 
displays of fruit. There were ten granges 
represented. Other features were large 
cattle and sheep exhibits as well as the 
exhibits by the school children. Butter 
is bringing 50c a pound, eggs 42c, fowls 
20c, chickens 25c, potatoes $1 a bushel, 
sweet corn 12e a dozen, tomatoes $15 a ton 
at the factories, $1 a bushel on the market. 
—C. L. B., Forestville. 
Genesee County. —We are having so 
much wet weather that it is injuring the 
bean crop. Threshing has started and 
the yield of wheat is very light. Oats 
and barley are turning out fairly well. — 
J. H. 
Ontario County. —We are having a fine 
growing season, no frost as yet. Corn 
needs three or four weeks of good warm 
weather. Cabbage is bringing $15 a ton, 
very good crop.—H. D. S. 
Wyoming County. — Farmers very 
much discouraged over oats and beans 
as they are unable to harvest them owing 
to the rainy weather. Very little thresh¬ 
ing has been done yet. Hay selling for 
$12, second crop being cut in some places. 
Butter 50c.—J. E.

This Woman Says Yes 
TN LOOKING over your interesting 
-I- magazine I noticed this: “Should 
Women Help with the Farm Work?” 
I say yes, do anything that will help 
from raking hay to milking the cows. I 
was born on a farm and worked at every¬ 
thing from milking to driving the fastest 
and youngest horse on the farm and 
loved to do it, too. I think that a farm 
is the most beautiful thing under the 
beautiful sky. If a woman has a good, 
loving, faithful husband it is her duty to 
help in any way, indoors or outdoors. I 
call it a blessing to work so near to nature 
and to God. We surely are who live on 
a farm well taken care off.— Mrs. H. E., 
Massachusetts. 
Cow Campaign 
C UT this out, sign it and send it 
to American Agriculturist. 
It is a simple agreement among 
farmers for each man to get rid 
of the poorest cow in his herd. 
Each agrees to hill or sell for meat 
purposes this individual animal. 
It is understood the agreement is 
not binding until at least 1,000 
farmers in the New York milk 
shed have agreed to do likewise.
