A G. L. F. Inspector is continually checking 
the quality of each ingredient and the mixing 
of these ingredients so that those who feed 
G. L. F. Rations are assured that they not only 
get the ingredients named, but the exact 
pounds of each as stated on the tag attached

Among the Farmers of 
New York 
I N a release made during the last week 
in August, L. J. Steele, manager of 
the Empire State Potato Growers’ Co¬ 
operative Association, states that the 
potato crop will be considerably below 
that of 1922. According to estimates, 
the crop of New York, Pennsylvania, 
and New Jersey will only he 83 per 
cent of last year. The unusually dry 
weather has had considerable effect in 
pulling down the production of the 
crop this year. It was 10 per cent 
below last year at planting time. “This 
looks like satisfactory prices,” writes 
Mr. Steele to the members of the 
association. 
Cabbage will also be somewhat less, 
according to the same release. A sur¬ 
vey of the cabbage situation early in 
the season indicated increased acreage 
of 31 per cent above last year’s plant¬ 
ings. There was considerable public¬ 
ity about that dangerous situation 
which was more or less intended to 
counteract such a big increase. As it 
now stands, the acreage of cabbage is 
slightly reduced rather than increased. 
This should stabilize the cabbage mar¬ 
ket materially. 
In New York. State, the condition 
of the cabbage is much poorer than it 
was a year ago. Most of the crop 
went in late, and dry weather resulted 
in holding the plants back. Ip fact, 
many fields will have to have consider¬ 
able rain between now and harvest to 
even, yield the crop. Rumor has it, ac¬ 
cording to Mr. Steele, that several 
sales of early domestic cabbage for 
shipping have been made at around 
$30 per ton, f.o.b. Indications are that 
fairly satisfactory prices will be paid 
for cabbage, and it does not look as 
if any cabbage of fair quality would 
have to be fed. 
The Wisconsin cabbage crop is in 
good condition, although below last 
year’s crop. Mr. Steele spent a day 
in the cabbage section of Wisconsin, 
and states that the crop there is more 
advanced and promises a better yield 
of higher quality cabbage than the 
New York crop. 
NEW YORK COUNTY NOTES 
Montgomery Co.—The haying sea¬ 
son is over. A Idrge acreage has been 
left standing for want of help to har¬ 
vest it. On one farm of a hundred 
acres in this locality not an acre has 
been mown. The oat crop is being 
harvested; most all in by now. The 
yield is very good. There is also a 
good crop of buckwheat, and thus far 
there are good prospects for a large 
crop. Ensilage corn has made a good 
growth. The yield of potatoes will be 
> below the average owing to the con¬ 
tinued dry weather. Plums and apples 
are very scarce; not enough for home 
consumption. Eggs are selling for 35c 
a dozen; fowls, 20c, live weight; 
broilers, 25c a pound. There are very 
few turkeys being raised in this local¬ 
ity. Veals are bi*inging 11c, live 
weight; milch cows in good demand, 
$75 to $100 each. No hay is being 
moved to market. Hay pressers will 
begin as soon as the grain is harvested. 
Many farms are for sale, but buyers 
with money to make the first payment 
are scarce.—G. P. V. 
Saratoga Co.—Buckwheat looks fine; 
indications are that it will make a good 
average yield. Corn has made excel¬ 
lent growth, but the extremely cold 
nights have delayed maturing of the 
ci’op. Plum trees are heavily laden, 
but the fruit will be small. They are 
bringing at present one dollar a peck. 
Eggs, 35c a dozen, wholesale; butter, 
50c a pound. This year the Saratoga 
County Fair will be the largest and 
best in many years. It is expected the 
attendance will be heavy for farmers 
are over their heavy work.—E. S. R. 
Broome Co.—Our County Fair, 
which was held last week, was the most 
successful in its history. Never has 
the attendance been as heavy. Each 
day was featured with excellent mu¬ 
sic, balloon ascensions, and parachute 
jumping. On three nights of the fair 
there was a special feature in the 
nature of a historical pageant. We are 
still suffering from a terrible dry spell. 
Springs that have never been known 
to have gone dry are now going dry. 
Fruit is going to be scarce.—M rs.
