League Price For July $2.33 
County News From Among New York Farmers 
T HE Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association, Inc., announces that the 
following prices have been voted for 
the month of July, quotations being 
given for milk produced in the basic 
zone of 201-210 mile zone from New 
York City for 3 per cent milk. 
Class 1—for milk that goes into fluid 
consumption, $2.33, which is the same 
price as for June. 
Class 2—for milk which goes into 
the manufacture of cream and ice 
cream, $2.05, which is the same as the 
June price. However, in this class 
there are slight increases in' the skim 
milk differentials. 
Class 3-—for milk used chiefly in the 
manufacture of evaporated, condensed, 
and powdered milk and hard cheeses, a 
differential of 85 cents per hundred has 
been voted above the price of milk 
going into the manufacture of butter. 
This is 20 cents above the differential 
that was voted for June milk, which was 
65 cents, as announced in American 
Agriculturist of June 2. 
Class 4a—milk going into the manu¬ 
facture of butter, the price will be de¬ 
termined by the average price of New 
York market quotations on this com- 
. modify. However, there are differen¬ 
tials for the skim milk, the by-product 
in the manufacture of butter, which 
varies as in the case of Class 2 and 
these will also be proportionately in¬ 
creased. 
Class 4b—for milk going into the 
manufacture of cheese, will be deter¬ 
mined by the quotations of that com¬ 
modity on the New York market. 
The fact that the League is selling 
the farmers’ skim milk to better ad¬ 
vantage, should reflect favorably. By 
disposing of skim milk, a by-product, to 
better advantage, brings up prices 
realized by farmers selling into lower 
classes, with consequent more just re¬ 
compense to those producers. 
COUNTY NEWS FROM AMONG 
NEWS YORK FARMERS 
Oneida Co.—Rain is needed badly at 
time of writing, June 21. Pastures are 
holding up well. Many farmers fed 
their hay up pretty late. The big hay 
crop of last season seemed to melt away 
rapidly during Spring feeding. Seed 
potatoes were in big demand this Spring 
and hard to find. About the usual 
acreage of potatoes was planted. Plant¬ 
ing of corn for ensilage is just being 
completed on many farms. Oats are 
making a good growth. Meadows that 
have been well cared for, are looking 
fairly well. Hired help is very scarce 
and wages are high, $60 to $75 per 
month. Eggs 30 cents per dozen, pork 
12 to 12j4 cents per lb. As dairymen 
have all the cows they can handle, there 
is little sale for dairy cows. Late 
apples bloomed fairly well.—E. N. A. 
Nassau Co. — The extremely hot dry 
spell of the last week of June, was 
broken by several thundershowers. 
Considerable damage was done by the 
lightning and wind. Old barns were 
demolished in several instances. Crops 
in some parts of the county suffered 
from the effects of the win'd but the 
rain brought the much needed relief. 
Had the drought and heat continued 
for many days, there is no doubt that 
the potato crop would have been seri¬ 
ously affected. 
In Western New York 
Steuben Co. — At this writing, June 
20th, the drought is getting to be seri¬ 
ous. Barley and oats have held their 
color but unless rain comes soon they 
will go back. Corn is extremely poor 
as are the meadows. During the Spring 
the weather was very cold and dry and 
now it is hot and dry. Strawberries 
that at first bid fair for a large crop 
are drying up without attaining any 
size. Milch cows are selling for $50 to 
$75, dairy butter is scarce. Most all 
milk goes to milk plants. Spring pigs 
are worth $5 each at 4 weeks of age. 
Old potatoes about all cleaned up. — C. 
H. E. 
Steuben Co.—The hay crop promises 
to be light. The weather has been too 
dry and frosty for grass to make much 
of a growth. Corn is starting out 
fairly well but all crops need rain. 
About the usual acreage of potatoes 
was planted this Spring. Up to the 
middle of June, apples had not com¬ 
pleted their bloom, at which, time about 
75 per cent of the fruit had blossomed. 
The setting of fruit is below the prom¬ 
ise of blossoming time. Early straw¬ 
berries were considerably damaged by 
frost.—H. I. D. 
Chautauqua Co. — The ground is very 
dry. Crops are in great need of rain. 
The hay crop will be light. Many 
farmers have established roadside 
markets this year where autoists can 
stop and purchase eggs, milk, home¬ 
made ice cream, doughnuts and fruit, 
etc. Strawberries are selling from 25 
to 30 cents a quart. The crop is quite 
scarce this year. Butter 45 cents, eggs 
30 cents, potatoes 75 cents a bushel, 
poultry 25 cents a pound.— Mrs. C. 
L. B. 
Wyoming Co.—More beans have been 
planted in this vicinity this Spring 
than in some years. A number of 
farmers have had to make the second 
planting as they did not come up good 
the first time. Hired help is scarce 
and wages are high. Many farmers 
who have always kept one or two men 
are going without any help at all. An 
improved road is being put up between 
Dale and the Attica town line. Eggs 
25 cents, butter 36 to 37 cents.—J. H. E. 
Ontario Co.—We are having a hot, 
dry spell and a good rain would do a 
great deal of good. Wheat and grass 
are looking well, but corn and potatoes 
are backward. Young alfalfa is look¬ 
ing good but timothy and old meadows 
are scant. Hay will be a light crop. 
Every one is hoping that we will have 
rain soon. — H. D. S. 
In the Hudson Valley 
Ulster Co. — The Farm and Home 
Bureaus are going to hold the annual 
picnic on August 18, at Camp Wallkill, 
on the New Palz-Kingston state road. 
The committee in charge of the event 
consists of E. W. Hathaway, G. F. Rice, 
Mrs. Elmer Smith, Mrs. W. A. Warren, 
R. J. Harder, Millard Davis, Luther 
Duisberre. The committee is reported 
to be planning several new features for 
the pfcnic this year. One of them will 
be the installation of an amplifier by 
W. A. Warren of Hurly, in order that 
every one present will be able to hear 
what is being said by the speakers. 
Rennselaer Co. — Sheep breeders of 
Rennselaer and Washington Counties 
shipped four carloads of wool to Boston 
totaling 45,000 pounds. Prices ranged 
from 41 to 53 cents. The milk station 
of H. P. Hood & Son are now handling 
on the average of 800 cans per day. 
Recently this company purchased 600 
new 40-quart cans to be distributed 
among patrons of the plant, at a very 
reasonable price. Farmers are now 
mowing hay, which is fairly heavy and 
promises to make a good crop. — C. H. Y. 
Dutchess Co. — An anti-daylight sav¬ 
ing society has been formed and already 
2,000 signatures have been collected. 
Prices of farm produce are generally 
pretty good. Farmers will start to dig 
their new potatoes about July 10. The 
old potatoes are bringing $1.75 a bushel, 
eggs 38 cents. Hired help is getting 
$3 a day and scarce at that. Weather 
is very dry. Grass looks good, but we 
need rain. — H. H. 
1923 NOT UNUSUAL FOR LATE 
FROSTS 
Extremely late season this year has 
brought forth many comments relative 
to the seasonal variations. Some ob¬ 
servers claim that the Spring of 1923 
was the most backward on record. The 
fact that this is not so is brought out 
by J. F. Rose of South Byron, N. Y., 
who has kept a record of blossoming 
time of his Dutchess pear orchard for 
45 years. 
The trees blossomed May 24 this 
year. In 1917 the date was May 26. 
In 1882 and 1907 they also blossomed 
on May 26. Last year the blossoming 
date was May 10. In three years of 
the record the orchard was in full blos¬ 
som in April, the years being 1879, 
1910 and 1921. 
Why Harder Silos 
don 9 1 tip over 
T HE Harder patented Spline Dowel 
and square tongue and grooved 
staves produce a rigid structure that 
is secure amid the storms. 
A leaky silo is worse than none at all. 
Be sure to get the air-tight kind, 
the kind that never lean or shear. 
The name is “Harder,” remember 
that.
