Holstein Bull 
We have several exceptionally well- 
bred registered Holstein bull calves that 
we offer for sale on the installment plan. 
Here is your opportunity to break into 
the purebred game without an immedi¬ 
ate heavy outlay of cash. This should 
appeal to the average farmer who 
wants to boost the average production 
of his herd without having it cost him 
too much money right on the jump. 
A Double Descendant of 
“OLD DUTCH” 
One of these offerings traces back, both 
on his sire’s and his dam’s side, to Dutch- 
land Colantha Sir Inka, “Old Dutch,” 
the greatest proven transmitting son of 
Colantha Johanna Lad, the famous 
“milk” sire. The calf’s sire is a grandson 
and his dam is an own daughter, of 
Dutch-milk blood on both sides of the 
family. Dutch has 95 A.R.O. daughters, 
16 having 7-day records of 30 pounds of 
butter or better, two are in the 1000- 
pound class. The calf’s sire has 22 
A.R.O. daughters with records up to 
29.83 pounds butter in 7 days, and is the 
son of a 30-pound cow. This well-bred 
individual can be bought “on time.”

and 
Keep Trespassers Off 
We have had a new supply of trespass 
signs made up. This time they are made 
of extra heavy linen on which the letter¬ 
ing is printed directly. There is no card 
facing to be water-soaked by the rain and 
blown away by the wind. We have had 
these new signs made up of extra heavy 
material because severe storms will tear 
and otherwise make useless a lighter 
constructed material. We unreservedly 
advise farmers to post their land and 
the notices we have prepared comply 
in all respects with the New York law. 
The price to subscribers is 95 cents a 
dozen, the same rate applying to larger 
quantities.

Pavilion at the College of 
at Ithaca. This show and contest has 
become'an annual feature of the work of 
the Poultry Department at the College of 
Agriculture. The show .is radically 
different from all other poultry shows in 
that the birds are judged on those 
physical characteristics which indicate 
powers of production. Furthermore, 
the exhibitors are able to see their own 
and their competitors’ birds placed by 
expert judges and hear the reason why 
the judges place the birds as they do. 
This educational feature has been re¬ 
sponsible for the popularity which the 
show at the college has enjoyed. 
The egg exhibit is another outstanding 
feature of the show. In connection with 
this, demonstrations and lectures are 
conducted to show the importance of 
breeding for egg quality as well as egg 
production. Those who are interested 
in not only exhibiting but attending the 
show are urged to communicate with the 
Department of Poultry Husbandry of 
the New York State College of Agricul¬ 
ture, which department will gladly give 
all the details regarding exhibits and 
judging contests. 
Boys and Girls to Exhibit 
An added feature of the show this 
year will be the poultry exhibits of the 
members of the poultry clubs from all 
over the State. This is the first time a 
special department has been provided 
for the boys and girls and indications 
are that they will be well represented. 
One feature of this junior exhibit, will 
be the award of the Tioga Sweepstakes 
A T last the apple crop is picked and 
* in the packing houses and storages. 
Practically every grower is through 
picking Baldwins and Ben Davis, the last 
varieties to be harvested. We finished up 
with Rome Beauty on Election Day, 
November 4. There may be a few 
Russets and possibly Ben Davis to pick 
yet, but not many. High winds have 
prevailed during the last week or ten 
days, and many growers, late with their 
picking, have suffered quite a little loss 
through wind-falls. The late varieties, 
especially Baldwins, seem to have held 
out well, in most cases exceeding the 
estimates by from ten to twenty-five per 
cent. But the total amount is so small 
and the quality so poor that this will not 
affect the visible supply materially. 
Prices Holding Up Well 
Prices have held up well, and finished 
stronger than they opened sixty days ago. 
The fall varieties ranged upward from 
$3.75 to $4.50 per “A” grade barrel for 
Hubbardsons to $5.50 for Greenings and 
$0.00 to $0.50 for McIntosh. Not many 
“A” grade Baldwins have moved out of 
the territory but have been sent to cold 
storage. The Baldwin price has moved 
up from $5.00 or $5.25 to $5.50 and $6.00 
for “A” grades. Spys are being held at 
from $7.00 to $8.00. Ben Davis move at 
from $4.00 to $4.50 “A” grade. 
By-product prices are still stronger 
relatively. Bulk and tree run sales 
average around $1.75, with ciders and 
culls out. Good dryer stock brings 85c 
to $1.10 and even $1.25, while eiders have 
brought as high as one dollar a hundred¬ 
weight. The prevailing price for ciders, trophy, a solid silver cup, donated by the 
however, is from 65 to .74 cents. Tioga Mill and Elevator Company of

It looks like a safe year to store, in spite premium won, so many for second, 
of good fall prices, because the quantity of 
high grade winter fruit is simply not 
available. After last year’s experience, 
everybody is slow to put many “B” 
grades into cold storage. High storage 
rates and the high cost of barrels added 
to bulk fall prices with shrinkage and 
losses making a “B” grade apple rather 
expensive by spring. 
Crops Need Rain 
Western New York is experiencing the 
first real drouth of the season. With the 
exception of a light shower on November 
7th, no rain has fallen since September 
30th. Wheat, especially late sown wheat, 
shows the lack of rain seriously. Cisterns 
are beginning to go dry and even wells are 
very low. A soaking rain before freezing 
is very important to this country. 
Most growers still have their orchards 
to “clean up” of drop apples. But since 
picking was finished last week, most of 
the potatoes have been dug. This is not 
a potato section, soils being too heavy and 
poorly drained but the season has been so 
favorable that yields have ranged from 
100 up to 250 bushels per acre. Quality 
is good, with the exception of size which 
tends to run too large. Prices range 
from 35 to 40 cents at loading stations up 
to 60 and 65 cents on the Rochester 
market. Many potatoes will be stored. 
Cabbage harvest has begun. The 
price dropped from $6 or $8 dollars to $5, 
and last week one dealer was offering only 
$3.50 a ton. The yield is high and the 
quality good except for over-size. Growers 
hesitate to store as the \price outlook is 
none too good, and yetypresent prices 
hardly warrant harvesting.'' .Many crops 
will undoubtedly be fed to stock or left in 
the field.—M. C. Burritt.

National Grange Proposes 
Balanced Production 
O NE of the largest and most enthusias¬ 
tic meetings of the National Grange 
opened its sessions at Atlantic City, New 
Jersey, November 12. Delegates were 
present representing one million farmer 
members. 
The most outstanding sentiment ex¬ 
pressed by the Grange was its proposal 
for a nation-wide system of balancing pro¬ 
duction. In line with this sentiment a 
resolution will be passed favoring the 
amending of the Tariff Commission Act 
so as to give the Department of Agricul¬ 
ture authority to compile costs of produc¬ 
tion statistics at home and abroad, that 
this information may be used to prevent 
crop shortages one year and a big surplus 
another. 
On the same principle, the Grange will 
oppose any further irrigation and reclama¬ 
tion work by States or the government in 
the far West, “because no artificial stimu¬ 
lation of agricultural production is either 
justifiable or desirable from the stand¬ 
point of the welfare of our nation.” 
Opposes Issuing Tax-Exempt Securities 
Another proposition which is receiving 
much discussion and will undoubtedly be 
followed by a strong resolution for oppo¬ 
sition to the issuance of any more tax- 
exempt securities. Like the American 
Agriculturist, the Grange believes that 
the unfair tax situation which unjustly 
discriminates against farm real estate 
should be adjusted so that all property 
pays its rightful proportion for govern¬ 
ment support. The Grange is practically 
unanimous against daylight saving and 
will pass a resolution condemning it. 
The sessions will continue until Wed¬ 
nesday, November I9th. The next week’s 
American Agriculturist will contain 
a further report.
