American Agriculturist, October 13,1923 
ONE DISAGREEABLE MOTORING 
EXPERIENCE after dark on the trip to or 
from town convinces the farmer of the 
necessity of an EVEREADY FLASHLIGHT. 
The safe, reliable, portable light. Safe, 
because it has no fire hazard. Reliable, 
because you can carry it in driving wind and 
rain. Feeding the stock—in working about 
the bam—anywhere after dark on the farm, 
the EVEREADY FLASHLIGHT is literally a 
light of a thousand uses; a single use often 
proves worth a thousand times the small 
cost. Complete with batteries 65c to #4.50.

Vegetable Growers Meet at Buffalo 
O NE of the outstand- By PAIJ 
ing features of the 
recent convention of the Vegetable 
Growers’ Association of America was 
a popular evening session devoted to 
the value of vegetables as food. Dr. 
R. A. Dutcher of Penn State made an 
admirable presentation of the things 
that are known in a scientific way 
about vitamins. He was followed by 
Professors Flora Thurston and R. M. 
Adams, both of Cornell. The latter’s 
droll rhymes made a decided hit with 
the large audience. 
Practically the whole session of 
Tuesday was devoted to seed and va¬ 
riety problems. The growers seem de¬ 
termined that something shall be done 
to clear away the chaos of varieties 
and names with which they are com¬ 
pelled to deal. George Starr of Michi¬ 
gan proposed a short list of varieties 
which is intended to meet all important 
commercial needs. President A. B. 
Clark of the American Seed Trade 
Association advised growers to pick re¬ 
liable seedsmen and then stand by them 
—not necessarily one house for every¬ 
thing, but rather the ones that special¬ 
ize in certain items. He decried the de¬ 
sire to get high-class seeds at low-class 
prices, and he urged the practice of 
trying seed a year in advance of its 
use, buying it and storing it in the 
meantime. There are few kinds of seed 
that are subject to serious loss by be¬ 
ing held over. He pointed out that 
some deterioration in germination is 
of little harm anyhow, especially if 
one gains assurance as to trueness, 
purity, and yield. He urged growers 
to make careful trial and comparison 
of seed from various sources, though 
warning against too hasty generalizing. 
At the banquet G. V. Branch showed 
an effective movie of the new Detroit 
market and Dean R. L. Watts of Penn¬ 
sylvania touched upon the human side 
of the business when he called atten¬ 
tion to the value of a little guidance 
and encouragement in leading the 
young fellows to keep up the business. 
On Wednesday morning the conven¬ 
tion party took autos for a tour of the 
gardens of Erie County. At the farm 
of W. D. Henry and Sons, Dr. C. E. 
Ladd of Cornell gave figures selected 
from the results of ten years’ intensive 
cost accounting. The crowd was es¬ 
pecially interested in a chart which 
showed the rise and fall of labor costs 
for the period. After watching a power 
duster at work, the party went to the 
Hamburg Fair Gounds for lunch and 
then to the farm of C. A. B. Smith, 
where 'fin extensive Cornell demonstra¬ 
tion of cauliflower varieties and strains 
was studied. 
If any one topic interests gardeners 
more than another, it is the small 
garden tractor. At the farm of George 
Webber, six types of these machines 
were in action. There seems to be gen¬ 
eral agreement among gardeners that 
they are here to stay. 
On Thursday, R. S. Parsons, vice 
president of the Erie, presented the 
railroads' side of the transportation 
problem. 
, WORK ' The climax of the 
meeting was reached 
when Aaron Sapiro outlined in his 
forceful fashion the principles that 
must be observed if cooperation is to 
be successful. 
President, H. F. Tompson of Mass¬ 
achusetts; Vice President, A. H, 
MacLennan of Ontario; and Treasurer, 
H. J. Cheney of Michigan, were all re¬ 
elected, while George Starr of Michi¬ 
gan was chosen to succeed C. H. N. 
Nissley of New Jersey, whose duties 
no longer permit him to serve. 
NORTHERN NEW YORK NOTES 
Accredited herd work is proceeding 
rapidly in St. Lawrence and Jefferson 
Counties under the impetus . given 
through having county veterinarians on 
the job. Dr. H. J. Baker has tested 
over 2,600 cattle in St. Lawrence 
County in the last two months. Thus 
far the average number of reactors has 
been about twenty per cent. There 
are many applications on file for tests. 
Frosts early in the third week froze 
much of the corn and potatoes as well 
as damaging gardens all through the 
North Country. As a result there was 
a general rush all along the line to fill 
silos, for most farmers were delaying 
corn cutting in order to gain all the ad¬ 
vantage they could from the late sum¬ 
mer and fall rains. Late potatoes have 
made some growth since the rains be¬ 
gan, but the crop will he short and 
only a few pieces that escaped the 
freeze will do any more growing. 
Great interest is being manifested in 
the visit to Jefferson and Lewis Coun¬ 
ties of the foreign delegates to the Na¬ 
tional Dairy Congress, after the close 
of the Congress. The delegates will be 
taken by auto tour from Syracuse to 
Utica, and from there North, making 
the first North Country stop at the 
certified milk farm of Dean H. E. Cook 
at Denmark. From here they will go 
to Carthage, inspecting the ice cream 
plant of the Dairymen’s League Coop¬ 
erative Association. Stops after that 
will be: F. X. Baumert’s fancy cheese, 
milk sugar and casein manufactory at 
Antwerp; the limburger cheese cellars 
of A. Bickelhaupt at Redwood; the con- 
densery of Libby, McNeil and Libby at 
Adams Center; the powdered milk plant 
of the Adams Dry Milk Company; and 
the big outfit of the Northern New 
York Milk Corporation, which is headed 
by Speaker of Assembly H. E. Machold. 
During the trip those taking part in 
it will be given an opportunity to see 
the Thousand Islands, and perhaps take 
a boat trip among them. 
A. H. Adams is starting organiza¬ 
tion of the Junior Project work in Jef¬ 
ferson County for a new year. The 
windup of the old year was very suc¬ 
cessful—the girls’ team in homemaking 
winning first place at the State Fair, 
the agricultural team getting third 
place, and the two girls in the home¬ 
making team getting first and second 
places in the tests for physical and 
mental fitness.—W. I. R. 
For the second successive year the Wayne County Farm Bureau won first 
prize at the New York State Fair, scoring 94 points out of a possible 100. 
The display redounds much to Manager E. B-. Wagner and C. H. Mills, of 
Sodus. There were 130 varieties of apples, 18 of pears, 16 of peaches, 32 
of plums, 13 of grapes, 4 of cherries, 3 of quinces and 1 of garden or tame 
huckleberries. This last exhibit was supplementary to the fruit exhibit, 
being made by A. H, Pulver of Sodus
