American Agriculturist, November 8, 1924 
News from Among New York Farmers 
Enos Lee Replaces F. J. Smith as A. F. B. F. Executive—County Notes 
E NOS LEE of Yorktown Heights, N.Y., 
president of the New York State 
Farm Bureau Federation, was recently 
appointed a member of the executive com¬ 
mittee of the American Farm Bureau 
Federation to fill the unexpired term of 
Frank J. Smith of Springfield Center. 
Mr. Smith, who resides in Otsego County, 
resigned from the committee when he 
accepted the nomination to run for mem¬ 
ber of assembly in his district. This was 
in accordance with an unwritten rule of 
the farm bureau whereby its officers have 
no political affiliations, as the farm bureau 
itself is non-partisan and non-political. 
County Notes From Among 
Farmers 
Suffolk County —The first killing frost 
of the season was on the night of October 
15. Corn is about all stacked. It will not 
yield as many bushels per acre as last 
year. Potatoes are bringing $2.25 per 
barrel of 180 pounds. Cabbage $10 a ton 
at the kraut factory. Hay is bringing 
$1.25 per cwt. Not as many fields are 
planted to grain in this locality on the 
North Shore as usual.—E. S. S. 
Cortland County —The middle of Octo¬ 
ber showed us the first real touch of 
winter. As this is a county of maple 
products, frost has turned the timber into 
a glorious show of colors. Dairymen have 
been turning steadily from grade cattle 
to registered stock. Silo filling is about 
all over and little threshing is being done, 
especially buckwheat.—J. B. A. 
Northern New York—Lewis County 
The extremely heavy rains of the last 
days of September greatly delayed work 
among the farmers. Some were caught 
with large fields of grain out in the open. 
In some cases cornfields on the river 
flats were partially submerged. In one 
or two instances a good portion of the 
crop was carried down the river by the 
rushing waters. The river was nearly 
up to high-water mark, such as it gets at 
flood tide in the spring when Black River 
is augmented by the melting of the heavy 
snows on Tug Hill, east of the valley. 
Threshing is the order of the day and 
grain is yielding more than was expected 
earlier in the season, as it was badly 
damaged in the fields by the heavy rains. 
Corn that was very backward early in 
the season has developed into about an 
average crop. Some was damaged slightly 
by the frosts of the last week in Septem¬ 
ber, The warm weather of early October 
permitted farmers to fill their silos with a 
good quality of ensilage. 
Potatoes are giving more than an 
average yield. In some eases fields have 
been struck by the blight, and there is 
some rotting on the lowlands along the 
river valley. With the immense crop that 
is being harvested along the northern 
border, it has brought about a big slump 
in prices in this section with the result 
that not much stock is being moved on to 
market. , 
A large amount of reforesting has been 
done in this locality the past season, par¬ 
ticularly in the towns along the east side 
of Black River. The Northern New 
York Utilities Company has been very 
active in the work, as have private in¬ 
dividuals to quite an extent. The State 
has established an up-to-date nursery 
farm two miles east of Lowville, which is 
very convenient for parties interested in 
forest preservation.—C. L. Stiles. 
Essex County —The last two days of 
September were notable for a steady 
downpour of rain that was responsible 
for much damage to crops and roads. 
Bridges were washed away and corn 
fields inundated. Many fields of corn 
matured this fall in spite of late start. 
Potatoes are yielding well but some rot 
is being reported. Most silos are filled. 
Some threshing, is still being done. — 
M. E. B. 
Along the Southern Tier 
A community picnic was held on the 
schoolhouse grounds at Maine village, 
October 11. About 200 were present. 
The program included speaking, singing 
and finally a fine dinner. One of the 
unique features was a band which used 
kitchen utensils for instruments. So 
successful was this first venture at Maine 
that it was decided to repeat it another 
year, and officers were elected with that 
purpose in view. 
Wellington Carley and son Ralph have 
the reputation of producing the finest 
cauliflowers of anybody in this part of the 
country. Their caulies have a large sale, 
not only in Binghamton markets but 
among the farmers of the community. 
George Wakefield, who not long ago 
sold his herd of cows, must feel lonesome 
without them, for he is buying into the 
business again It is a good time when 
making such a change to get better cows, 
and we hope George has done it. 
A community house is well under way 
at West Chenango, eight miles north of 
Binghamton. The building is entirely 
new and has the advantage of being con¬ 
nected with the Methodist Church, the 
only one in this hamlet. Much has pre¬ 
viously been made of the community life 
of this part of Broome County and this 
new house will no doubt still further 
increase interest in this feature of rural 
life. 
Great changes are coming in the vicin¬ 
ity of the old Quinn farm near Kattell- 
ville, Broome County. The farm, except 
that part which was reserved by Mr. 
Quinn when he sold his place, is being laid 
out in streets which are being already 
opened up. Some houses have been built 
on the tract and more are in process of con¬ 
struction. The effect of this boom is being 
felt far beyond Quinn’s corners.—E. L. V. 
New Jersey to Entertain National Grange 
State Vegetable and National Fruit Societies to Meet at Same Time 
N EW JERSEY will act as host to three 
great farm organizations next week 
when the New Jersey State Horticultural 
Society, the American Pomological So¬ 
ciety and the National Grange will hold 
their meetings in Atlantic City. 
The 58th annual session of the National 
Grange will be held November 12 to 21, 
I inclusive. President Coolidge will attend 
I this session and make an address on the 
evening of November 14. The sessions 
of the first week will be held in the great 
ballroom of the Steel Pier. The meetings 
from Sunday, November 16, to the close of 
the session will be held in the Vernon 
Room of the Haddon Hall Hotel, which 
! will be official headquarters. Rates from 
a ll parts of the United States will be fare- 
and-a-half on the certificate plan. 
A special feature of this year’s session 
of the National Grange will be the cele¬ 
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of the 
adoption of the Declaration of Purposes 
of the Order. This Declaration of Pur¬ 
poses is a document which has been re¬ 
ferred to many times as the ‘‘Declaration 
of Independence of Agriculture.” It was 
written by the founders of the Grange, 
adopted by the Order in 1874 
Louis J, Taber of Columbus, Ohio, will 
preside. The principal shares in the 
Grange session will be filled by B. J. 
Black, Maryland, Overseer; O. L. Martin, 
Vermont, Lecturer; W. W. Deal, Idaho, 
Chaplain. Herman Ihde, Wisconsin, 
Steward* C. M. Freeman, Ohio, Secretary. 
Ezra C, Bell, President of the Atlantic 
City Convention and Publicity Bureau, 
in speaking of the coming event, says: 
“Atlantic City is looking forward with 
pleasant anticipation to the forthcoming meet¬ 
ing of the National Grange. We who live in 
Atlantic City and are interested in her future 
and the maintenance of her reputation as the 
‘Playground of the World,’ feel confident of 
our ability to make the Grange visit here one 
of pleasant and never-to-be-forgotten mem¬ 
ories. Atlantic City will be glad to see you and 
we trust you will take advantage of this, our 
sincere invitation, to spend a few pleasant and 
profitable days in the ‘World’s Premier Health 
and Pleasure Resort.’ ” 
Horticulturalists and Fruit Growers 
to Meet 
The Horticultural and Pomological Societies 
will hold their meetings November 11 to 14, 
jointly, in the Vernon Room of Haddon Hall. 
On Tuesday, November 11, there will be a 
country-wide conference by the American 
Pomological Society, the national association 
of fruit growers, to bring together the leading 
men of the industry from all over the country 
to discuss problems of fruit marketing. 
On Wednesday morning, November 12, 
“Developing the Local Market” will be the 
topic of speakers from three States. “The 
Future of the Roadside Market” will be the 
subject of a report by marketing officials of 
two States. On Wednesday afternoon, a 
report of the Fruit Committee of Horticultural 
Society will be read on the behavior of different 
varieties of fruit in different sections of the 
country. 
On Thursday morning, November 13, 
spraying topics will include reports by experts 
on the Japanese Befetle, Oriental Peach Moth, 
fungus diseases and injury by arsenicals. 
The vegetable session on Thursday afternoon 
will be of great interest to market gardeners 
and truck growers. Thursday evening will be 
featured by the addresses of the Presidents of 
the two societies and a discussion of efficiency 
in farm management by farmers and a repre¬ 
sentative of the United States Department of 
Agriculture. 
Friday morning, November 14, will be 
devoted to a round table discussion on peach 
growing. This will include reports from several 
States, but w T ill bear largely on the growing and 
handling of peaches in New Jersey. 
It is said that the exhibit of the State Horti¬ 
cultural Society and State Grange, to be held 
on the Steel Pier, will be the greatest display of 
the kind ever staged in New Jersey. 
New Jersey County Notes 
Mercer County — The Mercer County 
Pomona Grange met on November 5 
to discuss the Child Labor Amendment. 
At the National Grange meeting at 
Atlantic City on November 12 to 20, 
Mercer County’s new sixth degree 
class of 206 will take the national degree. 
Corn is pretty well harvested, but not 
much has been husked to date. We had 
our first killing frost on October 20, 
putting an end to tomato pickling. The 
apple crop is fair and prices are pretty 
good. The crop is pretty well picked. 
There is good demand for sprayed fruit. 
We are having a beautiful fall for out¬ 
door work, but it is a little dry for fall 
grain, which is coming on well. Light 
pork is bringing a good price and there 
is a good demand for it. Eggs are scarce 
and high. The crop of pumpkins is poor, 
because of the cold, wet spring. 1 — Mrs. J. 
E.II. ^ 
Salem County — This season was cer¬ 
tainly a very peculiar one, especially on 
fruit and berries. They set heavy’ but 
growth was stunted on account of the 
hot, dry mid-season. At the same time 
prices were quite low. We have gone 
through a very poor season but we hope 
the next one will make up for this. 
Truckers did very well. Peas, snap 
beans, cucumbers, sweet corn and best 
of all tomatoes, made up for the early 
loss on potatoes. Sweet potatoes are 
pretty good. Ha;y, corn and eggs are 
bringing good prices. — S. B.
