Among the Farmers 
League October Price, $ 242 —New York County Notes 
T HE Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association, Inc., announces that the 
gross pool price for October milk is 
$2.42 per 100 pounds. From this gross 
price that will be deducted ten cents for 
expenses, leaving a net pool price of 
$2.32. Of this amount the Association 
will borrow ten cents per 100 pounds on 
Certificates of Indebtedness. This leaves 
a net cash price to farmers of $2.22. 
The October price compares very 
favorably with that received for milk 
delivered in September. The net pool 
price of $2.32 is twelve cents better 
than the net pool price received for 
September milk. Furthermore the net 
pool price for October, 1923 is eleven 
cents better than the October price in 
1922. _ 
NEW YORK COUNTY NOTES 
Schenectady Co,— Farmers are busy 
pressing hay and doing fall plowing. 
Hay is bringing from $18 to $20 a ton. 
Eggs are 60 cents a dozen; butter 40 
cents a pound; oats 50 cents a bushel; 
calves 18 cents a pound dressed; hens 
22 cents a pound, live weight; potatoes 
$1 a bushel.—J. W. S. 
Onondaga Co.— Hubert Young, a stu¬ 
dent of the Jordan High School, wan 
awarded a prize, given by the Albany 
Chamber of Commerce for his essay on 
orcharding. The prize entitled him to a 
trip to New York City.—Mrs. H. S. R. 
In Northern New York 
Franklin Co. —We have had excellent 
autumn weather and farmers have their 
fall work about completed. The Farm 
Bureau Manager, L. D. Kelsey, who re¬ 
campaign for new members and as well 
poor price, $1.40 a bushel. It seems 
that eggs are not to be had at any 
price. Butter is 50 cents a pound. To¬ 
matoes made a great crop this year. 
Coal has been $13 a ton right along. 
We expect it will go higher. Hard 
wood cut in stove length is bringing 
$3.50 a cord delivered. Some lumbering 
and mine prop business are operating. 
Help is scarce, especially the kind that 
works, in spite of the good wages. 
Several city families are wintering 
here.—Mrs. C. P. M. 
In Western New York 
Ontario Co.— Up to the middle of No¬ 
vember, we still had excellent weather 
to finish up fall work. We have had 
a few snow flurries, but the snow dis¬ 
appeared in a day or so. There are a 
good many apples for cider being offered 
at 50 cents a hundred. Potatoes are 
bringing 20 cents to $1 a bushel; cab¬ 
bage from $7 to $10 a ton; eggs 75 
cents a dozen.—H. D. S. 
Chautauqua Co. —A fall of six inches 
of snow has brought outdoor farm work 
to a close. However the weather has 
been so excellent that practically every¬ 
thing was well cleaned up before the 
snow came. There may be a few pota¬ 
toes and apples that have not been 
gathered, but none to speak of. We 
had a most excellent fall and every 
one made most of it. The buckwheat 
crop ran considerably below last year. 
Some buckwheat was so short it was 
not harvested while that which was 
harvested yielded very poorly. Fresh 
cows and springers are bringing from 
$60 to $70 a head. There is absolutely 
no sale for horses. Potatoes are bring¬ 
ing from 75 cents to $1 a bushel. 
Dressed pork 12 cents. Winter apples 
as renewals of old membership. Charles 
cents a cwt.—P. S. S. 
Along the Southern Tier 
Broome Co.— At this writing No¬ 
vember 10, snow covers the ground 
for the first time this season. A great 
deal of fall work has been accom¬ 
plished. There are quite a few auc¬ 
tions in this vicinity and a number of 
farms are changing hands. Potatoes 
made a good crop and are bringing $1 
a bushel, eggs 75 cents a dozen; butter 
55 cents, a pound, wood finds quite a 
sale.— Mrs. L. K. C. 
secured to succeed the present Farm 
Bureau Manager, L. D. Kelsey, who re¬ 
signed to go to Albany County. Mr. 
Kelsey takes up his new position in 
Albany County on November 15. All 
stock is now in the barns and on winter 
feeding. Farmers have the greater 
part, of their potato crop in storage, 
although there does not seem to be 
much advance in the market prices. 
At present 70 cents is being offered to 
shipping points. There seems to be a 
number of auction sales of farm prop¬ 
erty and live stock during the past few 
weeks.—H. T. J. 
Jefferson Co. —We are having plenty 
of rain. Wells and springs are again 
furnishing an abundance of water. 
Quite an acreage of plowing is being 
done. Many farmers are using trac¬ 
tors. Many dairies are being tested 
for TB. Several have been found in 
practically perfect condition. Butter 
is bringing 55 to 60 cents a pound; 
eggs 60 to 75 cents a dozen; hay $12 
to $18 a ton. Ensilage is not as good as 
usual, unquestionably on account of too 
much leafy material and not enough 
ears. Young pigs are bringing $3 
apiece. New seedings look good and 
old meadows have grown considerable 
this fall. Grass roots yield a good 
cover for the wintqr, where they have 
not been pastured too short.—C. J. D. 
In the Hudson Valley 
Saratoga Co.— Fall weather has been 
very favorable for outdoor work. A 
large amount of plowing has been com¬ 
pleted. Potatoes are now bringing 
$2.50 to $3.00 a bushel but the market is 
very weak. Apples are scarce and con¬ 
sequently bringing high prices. Light 
pork brings $15 a hundred. There is 
.very little demand for beef at the 
present. Fresh milch cows are bring¬ 
ing $100 to $120 apiece, butter 52 cents 
a pound, wholesale. Strictly fresh 
eggs are bringing from 50 to 55 cents 
a dozen. Fifty sheep have been killed 
outright in this vicinity this past season 
and many more have been maimed and 
rendered unfit for use by dogs. So far 
only one marauding dog has been 
killed. The heavy rains of the week of 
November 3rd did a great deal of good, 
filling wells and ponds which had gone 
dry. Grass and rye are making good 
growth.—E. S. R. 
Sullivan Co. —We have had a very 
early fall. Our first snow flurry came 
on the last day of October. Apples are 
scarce. Potatoes are bringing a pretty pounds of fat.—I.~W~ L 
FARM BOYS REGISTER IN 
CORNELL SHORT COURSE 
Registration of 226 students for the 
ten-week winter short courses given 
at the State College of Agriculture, 
Ithaca, N. Y., was practically com¬ 
pleted November 7. 
A large share of these students come 
from farms and will take courses in 
general agriculture, including such sub¬ 
jects as dairying, poultry keeping, ani¬ 
mal husbandry, vegetable gardening, 
soils, floriculture, pomology, horticul¬ 
ture, rural engineering and other allied 
subjects. 
Each of the six Indian Nations of 
this State, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, 
the Senecas, the Cayugas, the Tus- 
caroras and the Mohawks are again 
represented by students who expect to 
take back the latest information regard¬ 
ing farm practices to their tribes. 
FAMOUS COW CELEBRATES 
FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY 
Glista Ernestine, champion Holstein 
cow, owned by the New York State Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca, celebrated 
the 15th anniversary of her birthday on 
November 12th. 
As most folks in this State know, she 
is no ordinary cow. She is fed and 
milked four times a day. In milking it 
is necessary for the attendant to prac¬ 
tically sit on the floor and use a dishpan 
instead of a milk pail because her udder 
is so large and low. 
She may be growing old but she still 
has good dairy ideas as is shown by a« 
recent record. On August 30th she ' 
freshened and was put on test. During 
this test from September 5 to 11th in¬ 
clusive she produced 463 pounds of milk 
and 29.72 pounds of butter from 23.773
