NATIONAL LEADERS ON APPLE 
EXPOSITION PROGRAM 
The leading marketing and agricul¬ 
tural men in the United States will 
talk at the Eastern Apple Exposition 
and Fruit Show, to be held at the 
Grand Central Palace in New York 
City, November 3 to 10, according to 
the General Plans Committee of the 
Exposition. 
These men will head up the program 
of the American Pomological Society 
which meets at the Exposition Novem¬ 
ber 6, 7, and 8. Almost every phase 
of growing and marketing of interest 
to farmers will be treated in their ad¬ 
dresses. 
Aaron Sapiro, general counsel for 
the largest farmers’ cooperatives in the 
country, will tell of the development of 
cooperative marketing during the past 
year. The management side of coop¬ 
erative marketing will be handled by 
A. R. Rule, General Manager of the 
Federated Fruit and Vegetable Grow¬ 
ers. The extraordinary results ob¬ 
tained at the Geneva experiment sta¬ 
tion in the breeding of new fruit will 
be told by Professor Hedrick who is in 
charge of the experiments. Many 
other brilliant investigators or prom¬ 
inent leaders are on the program, in¬ 
cluding Professor F. C. Sears of Massa¬ 
chusetts, R. G. Phillips, secretary of 
the International Apple Shippers’ As¬ 
sociation; Paul Stark of Missouri, and 
Professor C. K. Lewis, editor of the 
“American Fruit Growers.” 
One day of the Exposition will be 
known as Transportation Day when 
railway executives and traffic men will 
discuss the problems of shipping and 
packing farm products. The railroad 
men will also conduct an extensive 
trip, through the wholesale markets 
for visiting farmers and shippers. A 
moving picture of the wholesale 
markets will be run as a part of the 
daily motion-picture program for those 
unable to visit the markets. New Eng¬ 
land States have arranged for an ap¬ 
ple packing contest to be staged at the 
show. Every type of equipment used 
in a modern packing plant will be op¬ 
erated and the latest methods of pack¬ 
ing, including boxed apples, demon¬ 
strated. 
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO NEW 
YORK STATES’ CONSTITUTION 
When voters of New York State go 
to the polls they will find on the bal¬ 
lot, five proposed amendments to the 
constitution and one proposition. They 
will be asked to vote “yes” or “no” on 
each of these. 
Amendment Number 1, has to do with 
the soldiers’ bonus, and will read on 
the ballots as follows: 
Shall the proposed amendment to Article 7 
of the Constitution empowering the legislature 
to create a debt or debts not to exceed $45,- 
000,000 to provide for the payment of bonuses 
to honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and 
marines of the World War who were residents 
of the State when they entered the military 
service of the United States, be approved? 
Amendment Number 2, known as 
the Home Rule Amendment, makes pro¬ 
vision for taking more power from the 
State Legislature and giving it to the 
cities. It will appear on the ballot as 
follows: 
Shall the proposed amendment of Article 12 
of the Constitution, known as the Home Rule 
Amendment, authorizing every city to pass 
local laws in relation to its property, affairs 
and government, except the public school sys¬ 
tem, and restricting the legislature, except in 
emergencies on message from the Governor, to 
the passage of general laws affecting all cities 
alike, be approved? 
Amendment Number 3, authorizes 
the State Legislature to use some of 
the State lands for the development 
of water power. On the ballot it will 
read as follows: 
Shall the proposed amendment to Section 7 
of Article 7 of the Constitution authorizing 
the legislature to provide for the use of not 
more than 3 per cent of the Forest Preserve 
lands for the development by the State of 
water power for the public benefit and for the 
construction and operation thereon of all works 
and transmission lines necessary therefor and 
also permitting such water power 1 development 
by private capital under leases not to exceed 
fifty years and under supervision of the State 
but forbidding the use of such power for busi¬ 
ness purposes on State lands, be approved? 
Amendment Number 4, provides 
that the debt limitation of city or 
county may not be affected by any ex¬ 
emption of assessed property from tax¬ 
ation. The amendment as it will ap¬ 
pear on the ballot reads as follows: 
Shall the proposed amendment to Article 8 
of the Constitution, providing that the debt 
limitation of a city or county and the limita¬ 
tion of the amount of annual taxes therein 
shall not be affected by any change in taxation 
by which real property is exempted or removed 
from the assessment rolls and retaining for 
such debt and tax purposes the valuation of 
such property as it last appeared on the assess¬ 
ment rolls and authorizing the legislature to 
confer jurisdiction upon the Apellate Division 
of the Supreme Court to determine the valua¬ 
tion of such property, be approved? 
Amendment Number 5, gives the 
privilege of voting to inmates of sol¬ 
diers’ and sailors’ home. It reads as 
follows : 
Shall the proposed amendment to Section 1a 
of Article 2 of the Constitution authorizing the 
legislature to provide for the absent voting at 
general elections of voters who are inmates 
of soldiers’ and sailors’ homes, be approved? 
That completes the amendments, hut 
on the ballot also under the heading 
of “Proposition Number One” the 
voter will be asked to pass judgment 
on the question as to whether or not 
the State shall issue bonds not to ex¬ 
ceed $50,000,000 for the construction 
of more hospital and charitable in¬ 
stitutions in the State. The proposi¬ 
tion will read on the ballot as follows: 
Shall Chapter 591 of the Laws of 1923, en¬ 
titled “An Act making provision for issuing 
bonds to the amount of not to exceed $50,000,- 
000 for the construction of buildings for cer¬ 
tain institutions for the care, support, instruc¬ 
tion and training of the wards of the State, 
and providing for the submission of the same 
to the people to be voted upon at the general 
election to be held in the year 1923,” be 
approved ? 
NEW YORK COUNTY NOTES 
There is continued activity among 
the milk interests of the North Coun¬ 
try. Sheffields Milk Company have an¬ 
nounced their intention of building a 
station at Lafargeville to compete with 
the newly acquired League plant, and 
are making active preparations. The 
Dairymen’s League have purchased the 
station at Orleans Four Corners from 
the Farmers’ Cooperative Association 
that has owned it for a number of 
years, and are considering the erection 
of a large plant a,t Potsdam. The latter 
would be the center of a large territory, 
and would probably take care of milk 
from both St. Lawrence and Franklin 
Counties. The cooperative plant at 
Eben which burned a few weeks ago 
will probably be rebuilt by the League. 
The death of John McKenzie of 
Brownville removes one of the pioneer 
Dairymen’s League members and work¬ 
ers of the North Country. He was 
widely known in Jefferson, Lewis and 
St. Lawrence Counties as he had done 
much to get the original League on its 
feet during the early days. 
Jefferson County Agent W. I. Roe 
resigned at the last board meeting, to 
enter other work, after nearly six years 
of work in the North Country. His 
successor has not yet been appointed. 
Potato digging is under way, but 
the potatoes are rather green and 
there is much “barking.” The yield 
indicates an average of about half a 
normal crop in Jefferson County. The 
late rains helped out, but at the same 
time have induced a second set and 
there are many very small potatoes on 
the vines. Silos are all filled. The 
corn was very sappy, and a great deal 
of leakage has been reported. The 
usual stories of catching corn juice 
from the bottom of the silos are going 
around, but those who have actually 
tried drinking the liquid wish they 
hadn’t. Fall plowing has started, but 
there has not been rain enough so far 
to make the sod easy to turn. 
In Lewis County several large farm 
fires recently have stirred up the people 
to an extent where they are looking 
for incendiaries. As most of the farm¬ 
ers were not nearly covered by insur¬ 
ance, they have suffered heavy financial 
loss. 
Franklin Co.—The potato harvest js 
practically completed. The yield in 
most fields is not as large as was ex¬ 
pected earlier in the season. This was 
undoubtedly due to the extreme dry 
conditions during the summer months. 
Most farmers are inclined to hold their 
stock as the prices paid at shipping 
stations are only 62 cents a bushel. 
Quite a number of farmers from 
Franklin County attended the Dairy 
Show at Syracuse last week. Milk 
in shipping stations has fallen off 
very rapidly lately. Cows are most 
all on full feed in the barns. We are 
having excellent weather for- all kinds 
of fall work. Loose hay is bringing 
$16 a ton, new oats 50 cents a bushel, 
fowls 30 to 35 cents a pound, wheat 
$1.25 a bushel, eggs 50 cents.—H. T. J. 
In Western New York 
Wyoming Co.—Bean thrashing is 
under way. Reports thus far indicate 
that the yield of beans will not be 
heavy. Silos are about all filled. 
Corn on valley land was badly dam¬ 
aged with frost. Apple growers are 
having fine weather to harvest their 
crop. Pickers are scarce and wages 
are high. Butter 34 to 37 cents, eggs 
45 cents, veal calves 12% cents live 
weight.—J. H. E. 
Chautauqua Co.—We have been hav¬ 
ing excellent fall weather. We are 
still in need of some rain. Corn and 
potatoes in our immediate section are 
still green the first week in October, 
when we have had frost all around us. 
The demand for fresh cows and spring¬ 
ers is very good. Also for cattle, sheep 
and lambs. The apple crop is short. 
The hay crop is also short.—P. S. S. 
In Central New York 
Tompkins Co.—Silo filling and corn 
harvesting are two fall jobs that were 
pretty well cleaned up by the fifteenth. 
Corn husking is in full swing. The 
crop is turning out fairly well. Pota¬ 
toes are not up to last year by a long- 
way. They are selling for $1 a bushel. 
The winter apples are being picked. 
The crop is not up to last year and 
many farmers are only picking enough 
for their own use, as there is no help 
available to pick the whole crop. Wheat 
setting was all done on schedule. There 
was very little second cutting of hay 
made as fall pastures were very short. 
Fresh cows are selling at good prices. 
A carload of Michigan stock sold in 
Flemington on October 13, from $120 
to $200 a head. Eggs are bringing 54 
cents a dozen and old corn is bringing 
$1.20 a bushel.—J. R. F. 
Cortland Co.—Silo filling was com¬ 
pleted by the fifteenth of this month, 
in our section. Many farmers were 
unable to fill their silos completely on 
account of the short corn crop. Those 
who have cabbage to sell are receiving 
$10 for early varieties and $13 for the 
late. The crop is much better than 
was expected earlier in the season. The 
potato crop is below average. The 
farmers are now getting 75 cents a 
bushel at the car and $1 when ped¬ 
dled in the city. Eggs are bringing 
45 cents. A large number of people 
from our section attended the Dairy 
Show at Syracuse.—G. A. B. 
In the Hudson Valley 
Rensselaer Co.—Silos are all filled. 
Apple picking is now in full swing. 
Onions are in the buyers’ hands. The 
crop was light in this section. Cab¬ 
bage is coming up nicely. The game 
season has opened and sportsmen are 
out in full swing. In fact there are 
more hunters than game, as many boys 
who have just turned seventeen have 
taken out licenses. Rabbits are fairly 
plentiful. Fall calves are in demand, 
the price ranging from 9 to 15 cents. 
Sheep and lambs are selling well. 
Buckwheat didn’t head out well at all 
owing to dry fall. In fact some fields 
were not worth cutting.—C. H. Y.

paper I ever took.”—Howard Rathbun,
