Good Advice For Everybody 
qpHE following statement, recently 
issued by G. F. Warren, farm eco¬ 
nomist of the New York State Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture, is such sound 
common sense that if it were read 
and followed, it would save much 
bitter suffering in the future. 
“Money prices and wages are nor¬ 
mally kept in approximate adjust¬ 
ment by constant changes in each. 
There is never a time when all things 
are in adjustment, but by constant 
fluctuations about a more or less 
stable base line things are kept within 
a certain range of normal. 
“The war threw things so far out 
of adjustment that it will he a long 
time before the fluctuations will set¬ 
tle down to the usual range. Violent 
mal-adjustments must be expected to 
continue for some years. Two or 
three times in the next ten years we 
may expect periods of severe busi¬ 
ness depression. It would not he sur¬ 
prising if one of these would be a 
very trying time. 
“In order to be prepared to meet 
these situations, farmers should be 
cautious about having large sums of 
money due at any one time. If farm 
prices rise enough to make it possible, 
debts should be paid. Those who 
have large mortgages coming due in 
the next ten years, would do well to 
consider converting them to the Land 
Bank form before interest rates rise. 
The ten-year tendency of interest 
rates may be downward, but the 
tendency for the next year or two 
promises to he upward. 
“Those who are working for wages 
will probably never again have a 
better time for saving money. Some 
are using this opportunity to go 
heavily in debt. The wiser course 
is to save the money now and buy 
the desired thing in the future, when 
all or most of the purchase price has 
been saved.” 
R. Mann of the State College of Agri¬ 
culture; the Hon. Peter G. Ten Eyck, 
member of the United States Congres¬ 
sional Commission of Agriculture, and 
T. E. Cross of Lagrangeville, who will 
speak on the plans of the New York 
Apple Show. 
The afternoon will be devoted to a 
tour of inspection of the grounds of 
the Station and various demonstration 
plats. There will be also a ball game 
between the Horticultural Society and 
farm bureau members, a tug-of-war 
between counties, barnyard golf and 
races. 
The eastern summer meeting of the 
Horticultural Society will be held at 
the home of W. H. Hart of Arlington, 
N. Y., on August 4. This will be a 
basket picnic.

NEW YORK COUNTY NEWS 
Oswego Co.—The labor shortage has 
presented a serious problem in Oswego 
County. According to A. L. Sheppard, 
manager of the Farm Bureau, the per¬ 
centage of vacant farms this year is 
greater than ever before. This is due 
primarily to the shortage of labor and 
high wages. Many farmers have quit 
operations altogether and are accept¬ 
ing jobs in the trades that offer more 
money. Another development due to 
these conditions is that many farmers 
are working their farms on shares in 
order that they may be able to work 
the ground and get aid in planting and 
harvesting the crops. Some farmers 
are doing this for the first time in 
their life. 
Indications point to a bumper crop 
of lettuce from this county. The crop 
is in an excellent condition and the 
area under * cultivation is larger than 
ever. While the condition of all muck 
crops is reported as satisfactory, there 
will not be as many onions and celery 
harvested in this county as in former 
years. 
Dutchess Co.—The weather is very 
dry. Farmers are in the midst of hay¬ 
ing. They are obliged to pay $5 a day 
for help. With the daylight saving 
time in vogue in this section, it cer¬ 
tainly is working a hardship on the 
farmer. Some farmers are selling their 
hay on shares rather than pay the 
price of help. A large number of city 
boarders are around this section now.

In Western New York 
Monroe Co.—It is not often that one 
hears of a horse being stung to death. 
However, this recently occurred just 
outside of Rochester. A team, belong¬ 
ing to Chester Potter of Rochester, was 
hauling a load through an apple or¬ 
chard. One of the horses reached up 
to snatch a mouthful of leaves from a 
tree. In so doing it dislodged a swarm 
of bees which settled on the limbs. The 
bees immediately attacked the animals, 
causing them to run away, but they 
could not escape the bees. The driver, 
Lee Walters, who was also attacked 
and severely stung, guided the team to 
the barn, where both horses were 
treated. However, one horse died with¬ 
in a few hours. 
Market garden thieves have started 
their depredations in this section. One 
market gardener particularly, Patrick 
Corbett of Brighton, has had so much 
trouble with thieves stealing his as¬ 
paragus that he applied to the sheriff’s 
office for assistance. _ Deputy Sheriff E. 
J. Perkins was assigned to the case. 
Toward midnight two individuals ap¬ 
peared, armed with shotguns. However, 
they put down their weapons and be¬ 
gan to help themselves to vegetables 
when they were covered by the deputy 
with his gun. Both were Italians of 
East Rochester. They were fined $50 
each. 
Steuben Co.—Work of opening up 
an old ditch through the Arkport area 
will be started at once, • according to 
reports recently circulated. This will 
restore some 700 acres of valuable 
muck land. Reports said that the ditch 
will be extended to drain an additional 
300 acres. Plans for the work have 
been completed by A. J. Morrison of 
Rochester, who is division engineer in 
the State Department of Public Works. 
The Erie railroad has donated the use 
of a ditcher and crew to operate it. 
It is estimated the improvement will 
cost about $80,000. 
If it is farm news, you will see it 
in the American Agriculturist.
