WATER 
BOWL 
If you have 
one cow or one 
hundred—you 
must want to 
make them 
give as much 
milk as pos¬ 
sible. A Drew 
Detachable Water Bowl in the cow’s 
stall often increases the milk yield 
25 per cent or more, right away! It 
automatically gives the cow all the 
water she wants when she wants it. 
A FREEZE-UP CAN’T HARM 
THIS BOWL 
No miserable driving out in cold to 
icy tanks—no fires to keep. Every¬ 
thing is simple—durable—efficient. 
Built on scientific principles. Drew 
Bowls actually pay for themselves. 
Install them before icy weather 
causes a falling off in the milk flow.

Among the Farmers 
League Buys More Certificates—County Notes 
T HE Board of Directors of the Dairy¬ 
men’s League Cooperative Associa¬ 
tion, Inc., has decided'to buy the fourth 
lot of the Association’s certificates of in¬ 
debtedness, series “A,” maturing in 1927. 
Certificates with serial numbers ending 
in the digit “5,” chosen by lot, will be 
purchased at the Association’s office, 120 
West 42nd Street, New York City, up to 
November 21, 1924, at 95 per cent, of the 
face value and accrued interest at 6 per 
cent, to November 1st. All certificates 
offered to the Association must be en¬ 
dorsed across the back with the name of 
the holder. 
Since last June, the directors have made 
six separate appropriations, aggregating 
$1,044,000, to a special sinking fund for 
the purchase of certificates. The certifi¬ 
cates in lot numbers 1, 2, and 3, already 
turned in, represent securities whose 
serial numbers end in the digits “0,” 
i“8,” and “3” respectively, and amount 
to only $425,000. 
The certificates which the Association 
offered to purchase were valued approxi¬ 
mately at $1,500,000. The Association 
was able to buy actually less than one- 
third of that amount. 
New York County Notes 
OUNTY agents, home demonstra¬ 
tion agents and leaders of boys’ and 
girls’ club work in New York State, held 
their fall conference at the New York 
State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, 
during the last week in October. The 
principal speaker on the program was 
Dr. George F. Warren, of the Depart¬ 
ment of Farm Management, who spoke 
on the European situation. Professor 
Warren just returned from an extended 
tour in Europe. , 
Tioga County—On October 21 im¬ 
mense flocks of wild geese were seen flying 
southward. We had flurries of snow on 
that day and a regular little blizzard 
the evening before. But since then the 
weather has been fine—all that could be 
desired. Some fall plowing has been 
done, silo filling, threshing and cider 
making still in progress. 
Several of the men folks of this section 
go to the Adirondacks every year deer 
hunting. Clifford Brink of Candor has 
gone to the North woods every year for 
the past five years and each year has 
brought down a fine buck. The one he 
killed this year weighed 165 pounds. 
E. H. Wands of Candor has opened up 
a glove factory there which gives em¬ 
ployment to a number of local people. 
It succeeds the shoe factory which went 
out of business last spring. 
A farmer over on the West hill from 
Owego not having an adequate water 
supply is having a new well drilled. The 
drilling has gone down to 125 feet. How¬ 
ever, at this depth the well fills very 
slowly, so he is going down deeper. 
To date it is said that the work cost over 
$400—pretty steep for a poor man. It 
is somewhat different from our little 
13 foot well in the town of Candor that 
never goes dry, producing an abundant 
supply of soft water of 45 degrees.— 
Mrs. D. B. 
In Western New York 
Genesee County— Bean threshing has 
started and reports so far indicate that 
the yield will be light. Potato crop is a 
very heavy one. Some say they are 
getting as high as 400 bushels to the 
acre; however, there is a lot of rot being 
reported.—J. H. 
Ontario County— We are having fine 
weather for fall work. There is lots to 
do. Potatoes are turning out fine. 
Some apples are good but most of the 
crop is made up of small ones. Cabbage 
is a drug on the market at $3 a ton. 
Help is scarce.—H. D. S. 
Erie County —Farmers are busy dig¬ 
ging potatoes which are a bumper crop. 
Corn is cut and silos are all filled. The 
corn crop was a lot better than folks 
expected. A good deal of hay is sold. 
Pressed hay sold for $12 a ton. Some 
thrashing still being done. Oats turned 
out well. Butter 42c a pound and eggs 
54c a dozen.— Mrs. T. C. 
Wyoming County —Farmers are mak¬ 
ing the best of these fine days by threshing 
buckwheat, digging potatoes and harvest¬ 
ing apples. All other necessary work is 
pretty well cleaned up. The next thing 
on the program will be to get up the 
winter’s wood .supply. A few have done 
some fall plowing. There is not much 
demand for live stock. There is quite a 
call for timber of several kinds.—P. S. S. 
Steuben County —This fall has been 
very favorable for farm work. It has been 
quite cool but no extremely cold weather 
is the usual case. Potatoes, our main 
crop, were nearly all harvested about the 
first of the month. The yield was very 
uneven. It does not look to be any better 
than that of a year ago. A few fields are 
reported to be rotting and in some cases 
there is considerable damage by insects. 
The market is dull at 35c while even at a 
distance of 50 miles dealers' are selling 
them out for $1 a bushel. Fruit is very 
late. Many farmers will quit business 
this year unless prices pick up.—C. H. E. 
In the North Country 
Franklin County. —Farmers have their 
crops all harvested and many are thresh¬ 
ing a fair grain yield, so it is reported. 
Potatoes are quite a loss to farmers this 
year. Good yields were recorded in most 
fields but in many instances half of the 
crop has rotted and a large part of the 
acreage has been left unharvested as the 
price is only 30 cents a bushel at shipping 
stations and dealers do not even care to 
handle the crop even at that price. 
Milch cows are in the barns and on winter 
feed, with prospects for better milk prices 
this month. But feeds still remain very 
high. Farmers are busy plowing and 
putting in their winter fuel.—H. T. J. 
Clinton County— Farmers in Clinton 
County are very much discouraged 
financially. Potatoes are yielding 250 
to 300 bushels to the acre and there is 
no market for them. Some rotting 
reported. Some points loading at 30c. 
Most farmers are said to be holding. 
Some have a few apples which they are 
consigning. It is disappointing to find 
farmers with so much production and no 
market for it.—E. C. W. 
Pennsylvania County Notes 
Crawford County.— The last two weeks 
of October brought us excellent weather, 
which was really needed. Silos are now 
all filled, at least the corn is in, but the 
silos are only partly filled. About the 
first of the month potatoes were pretty 
well harvested. The crop is not up to 
average in this section. Wheat is still very 
small. We had quite a second crop of 
hay. Buckwheat is mostly all threshing, 
an average crop, bringing anywhere from 
$2.10 to $2.15 a hundred pounds at the 
car. Potatoes are bringing 90c to $1 a 
bushel, eggs 55c to 60c a dozen, butter 
45c to 50c a pound. Chestnuts are 
scarce, while butternuts and hickory nuts 
are quite plentiful.—P. L. S. 
Erie County. —October was a lovely 
month. A three-day rain made it neces¬ 
sary for some farmers to cut their corn by 
hand and brought silo filling, threshing, 
and potato digging all together in one 
heap. It has been pretty hard to get help 
and when you do find a man, he wants big 
money. This excellent dry weather has 
helped farmers immensely. Every one 
has been hustling to get the potatoes out 
of the ground, they are selling around 75c 
a bushel, although shippers are only 
paying from 35c to 45c. Some crops were 
frozen as we had one hard freeze. Fowls 
are bringing 18c, chickens 22c, eggs 55c, 
butter 50c to 55c.— Mrs. It. McA.
