American Agriculturist, October 25, 1924 
Among the Farmers 
Franklin County.— We had fine 
weather for our county fair at Malone. 
Some farmers had not finished crops up to 
the first of October. In fact, most folks 
started filling silos at that time. A few 
have finished and are now digging 
potatoes. Corn made a poor crop on low 
ground this year. We had two killing 
frosts in some parts of the county around 
the first of the month. About the same 
time we had three days of heavy rains 
that swelled streams and rivers and 
flooded areas of land in the northern part 
of the country. It reminded one of 
spring with the swollen freshets. Con¬ 
siderable damage was done to crops. As 
the river overflowed it carried away grain 
and corn. Some potatoes were under 
water. Considerable land has been made 
so soft that corn cutting has to be finished 
by hand. Testing for T. B. started in 
Westville last month and it is progressing 
very rapidly. This is the second test. 
There is a surplus of hay and fodder in our 
section owing to so many cattle being 
shipped out. Help has been scarce all 
over and wages are high.—W. R. 
Jefferson County.— We had a three-day 
rain recently that put farm work back 
considerably. Com was still standing 
but very hard to cut because the ground 
was so wet. A good deal of hand-cutting 
was made necessary. Potatoes are a 
bumper crop and the price has dropped 
to 65c a bushel. Many are storing with 
the hope that better prices will come later 
on. Apples have been selling very well. 
Frank Hungerford, a neighbor of ours, 
has a fine crop of Weal thy sand has turned 
quite a bit of them,in to cider. Veal brings 
12c live weight. Bob calves are $3.50 to 
$5. Buyers are beginning to look at hay 
and offer anywhere from $8 to $12, but 
farmers are not anxious to sell at those 
prices. Eggs are bringing from 45c to 
50c, chickens are worth 22c to 25c live 
weight. Many dairies are being reduced 
in order to cut down labor.— Mrs. C. J. D. 
In Western New York 
Wyoming County.— Oats are nearly all 
threshed. The average yield is about 50 
bushels per acre. Beans are all harvested 
and the yield is light.' Some corn is going 
into the silo. Some of it has been frosted. 
Every one is anxious to get potatoes out 
of the ground before it freezes. The 
potato crop is a good one, of fine quality. 
Quite a portion of the crop is being 
trucked to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. 
The apple sections of the county have 
some nice fruit this year. Several car¬ 
loads of sheep are being sold to farmers 
who have become discouraged with cows. 
-O. F. R. 
Ontario County.— The first part of 
September was cold and dry, but the last 
couple of weeks have brought us some 
good weather for corn. The dry weather 
was broken by a good rain which was much 
needed. Corn has been slow in ripening, 
but we expect it will come through now 
as we do not look for any immediate 
killing frosts. Red kidney beans are slow 
in ripening and not very good. Potatoes 
are making a heavy crop. Wheat seeding 
has been the latest in years. Some did 
not complete their sowing by the first 
week in October. Cabbage is a good crop 
but low in price.—E. T. B. 
Ontario County.— Frost still holds 
off and here it is the second week in 
October. We hope it will continue to 
hold off for a week or two longer. Cab¬ 
bage is a good crop, bringing $5 a ton. 
Wheat seeding is late this year. We have 
had an abundance of rain. In fact, all 
crops are late.—H. D. S. 
' On Long Island 
Potato digging is going on rapidly. 
Growers are hustling to get their potatoes 
out of the ground before heavy frost 
comes; however, there is not a whole lot 
of danger from that. Indications are that 
we are going to have a good late fall. The 
weather we have 'been having for the past 
few weeks has been perfectly wonderful 
and a great deal of field work has been 
accomplished. We had one frost that hit 
late beans but sufferers from this w ere few. 
PROFITS! RECORDS! 
From Grade Cows or Pure-breds 
It’s a feather in the cap of any dairyman to own a champion cow in any breed or class. 
But no dairyman can afford at any time to take his eyes off profits. When all is said 
and done, the value of a dairy cow depends on her ability to earn money for her owner. 
Right feeding is the biggest single factor in this business of getting from a cow all 
that she is capable of producing. 
To make money from milk you must use a feed that builds and maintains health and 
condition—that brings cows quickly to peak production and keeps them there. 
Larro does this. Larro has many splendid milk records to its credit; but it is more 
significant that dairymen who use Larro consistently also produce milk profitably. 
This can be done with grade cows or pure-breds alike. 
There is a grade cow on the Larro Research Farm that in two years increased her 
milk yield from 5,851.2 lbs. to 13,157.1 lbs. for corresponding 270-day periods. There 
is another grade cow in the same herd that produced 13,646.4 lbs. milk the past 
year—yielding 3.2 lbs. of milk for every lb. of grain she ate. 
Take Sadie, champion grade cow of the South, who produced 23,245 lbs. milk and 
1,144.9 lbs. butter in a year. She is Larro-fed. Or, among pure-breds, the Meadow- 
brook herd of Jerseys at Jeanette, Pa.—a herd of 50 cows fed no grain but Larro— 
which holds 45 Register of Merit records and is lead by Prince’s Rose of Meadow- 
brook, withl4,292 lbs. milk and 639.5 lbs. of butter fat—a state record. 
Production like that is profitable—whether it comes from grade cows or pure-breds 
—whether the cow ever sets a record or not. 
You are milking cows to make money. They’ll make the most money on Larro.
