BEEKEEPERS AT WORK ON 
MARKETING PROBLEMS 
HERSCHEL H. JONES 
T HE annual joint meeting of the New York 
State Beekeepers Association and the 
Empire State Honey Marketing Cooperative 
Association held last week in Syracuse marked 
another forward step by producers to bring 
about better marketing of honey. Beekeepers 
from all over the State met together to hear of 
the progress of the past year and make plans 
for next season. 
That cooperative marketing of honey was 
feasible was demonstrated from the work of 
the association this year when not only were 
considerable quantities of bulk honey sold 
through the Association but large amounts 
put up in glass jars and pails under their own 
“Blossom Sweet” brand. The Association 
put on a large sales exhibit at the Apple Exposi¬ 
tion and at the Hotel Show in New York City. 
Thousands of visitors got their first taste of 
delicious New York State honey at these two 
shows. 
New York beekeepers this season have been 
particularly fortunate in that they have had a 
large crop in the face of a nation-wide honey 
shortage. Reports from large producing sec¬ 
tions like California and other western States 
show very light production with most of the 
honey already out of the hands of the pro¬ 
ducers. 
APPLE MARKET STILL DULL 
% 
The Western New York apple market has 
been dull. Virginia apples in cold storage are 
beginning to move out. Exporters expect the 
holiday demand in England to improve the 
market there considerably. 
Greenings and Baldwins are most in demand 
for immediate consumption at New York. 
Bulk apples orchard run, culls out, sold at 
N. Y. December 0 at $1.50 to $2.25 for red 
varieties and $2.25 to $2.75 for green per 
bbl. 
Following are quotations on A Grade 
minimum 2%-inch N. Y. State barreled apples 
atN. Y. December 6; per bbl., BALDWINS, 
$4 to 4.50; few, fancy, $5 to 5.50. BEN 
DAVIS, $2.50 to $3. GREENINGS, $5.50 
to 6. HUBBARDSTON, $3.50 to 3.75. 
NORTHERN SPY 7 , $5.50 to 6; few, finey, 
$6.50 to 7. 
POTATO TRADING SLOW 
Unusually mild weather and a limited de¬ 
mand last week forced prices on potatoes in the 
New York City wholesale markets down to a 
very low point. Long Islands in 150-lb. sacks 
sold for $3.50; Maines, $2.50 and States, $2.15. 
Carlo! quotations on Long Islands ranged 
from $2.90 to $3 per 150-lb. sack f. o. b. load¬ 
ing point; on Maines from $2.60 to $2.70; and 
on States from $2.25 to $2.35. 
CABBAGE PRICES FIRM 
Cabbage prices for the best medium Danish 
stock were firm. Carlots were quoted f. o. b. 
loading point at $22 ton. In the city trade was 
quiet at prices ranging from $28 to $30 ton. 
HAY EASIER 
The market was easy on lower grades of hay 
and good hay in very small supply. A sale of 
No. 1 large bales was reported at $30. Most 
hay on the market is Canadian small baled. 
Average quality hay ranges in price from 
$24 to $26.

EGG MARKET FIRM 
The market showed a firm tone last week for 
medium grade eggs and pullets when of good 
weight and new laid quality. 
BUTTER TRADING IMPROVES 
A fair volume of business was reported in 
butter last week and the prospects are that 
fine stock will clear reasonably well. 
Critical buyers are offering 55 to 55%c per 
lb. for higher score butter. 
CHEESE MARKET DULL 
Feeling in the cheese market was barely 
steady last week. Some business was reported 
on held Daisies and cured State fiats ranged in 
price from 25% to 26%c. Little fresh stock 
arrived and demand was lacking.

The market on fowls last week was strong in 
favor of the sellers and premiums of 2 to 4c 
above quotations were offered by buyers. 
Express shipments of average fowls sold at 
27 to 30c per lb. 
Although the supply of turkeys is not ex¬ 
cessive there was difficulty in moving them 
even at prices lower than quotations. 
LIVE CALVES ADVANCE 
Supplies of live calves became very low and 
buyers were looking forward to shipments 
expecting to pay full prices. Prices were firm 
and a few of the choice selected veals brought 
$15. Choice dressed veals brought 20 to 21c.

seems to be coming to the minds of many that 
cows do not need quite so much protein as has 
•been considered desirable. Now that protein 
feeds are so costly it is time to make use of this 
idea if it will work. Dr. Warren did not go 
into this very much as his address was on the 
economic side of the question. 
Whether it is now best for a man to buy 
a farm he seemed to think depends on many 
things. Possibly in some cases it may be as 
well to earn wages a little longer while they are 
high and delay, not too long, the purchase of 
a farm rather than go heavily in debt. It 
seemed to be his opinion that the price level 
will eventually shade off to somewhere near the 
pre-war level but taxes will remain high for 
a long time. 
Interstate Milk Producers Hold 
Annual Meeting 
(Continued from page fj 11) 
delivering milk in Philadelphia as well as 
creameries, milk stations and dealers’ quarters. 
This sanitary code covers the condition of 
barns and outbuildings, both interior and 
exterior. It provides for sanitary handling of 
milk, proper ventilation and cleaning of the 
barns, removal of manure, protection of the 
water supply, cleaning and testing of cattle, 
cleaning of milk utensils, condition of milkers, 
and cooling and storing of milk. In comment¬ 
ing on the proposition, Secretary Frank Willits 
stated that the adoption of a sanitary code 
would keep out of Philadelphia a lot of foreign 
milk and cream-that is produced under condi¬ 
tions not governed by sanitary codes and which 
helps to break the Philadelphia milk prices. 
On December 4, following a tour of local dis¬ 
tributing and ice-cream manufacturing plants, 
three short demonstrations each were given by 
members of the dairy council. Following these 
demonstrations, E. R. Quaekenbush, manager 
of the Pittsburg Dairy Council and formerly 
a field man of the Interstate Milk Producers 
Association, addressed the meeting. His sub¬ 
ject was “Creating Markets for Dairy Prod¬ 
ucts.” Following Mr. Quaekenbush, J. M. 
McKee, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture of the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, spoke on 
“What the State Has Done for Dairymen.” 
F. W. Heaps, secretary of the Maryland State 
Dairymen’s Association, followed Mr. McKee 
with an address on how the Maryland associa¬ 
tion cooperated with the City Board of Health.
