FAILURE 
Among the Farmers of 
New York 
T HIS is the season of winter meetings. 
Almost all of our big farm organizations 
are arranging to hold their annual meetings. 
Not the least of these meetings is that of 
Farmers’ Week at our different State colleges. 
Farmers’ Week at Cornell is the outstanding 
event of the season. It has been set for the 
week of February 11 to 16. Hundreds upon 
hundreds of farm people from all parts of the 
State are making plans to attend this annual 
gathering. Complete programs will be pre¬ 
sented in all branches of agriculture and in 
home-making. 
Many noted speakers are on the program 
and there are plenty of time for questions and 
discussion from the floor by the farmers them¬ 
selves. Special plans are being made to fill the 
time of the farm women who attend with 
interesting and worth-while discussions. There 
will be classroom work, lectures, entertain¬ 
ments and events for the whole six days. 
In the “North Country” 
Winter has been rather open for the most 
part. Parts of St. Lawrence and Lewis 
Counties had a little more snow than was 
comfortable for autos last week, but the rest of 
the territory has had scarcely two inches at 
any one time. The wells, springs and brooks 
are well filled—even better than most years, 
a thing gratifying to the farmers and to those 
dependent on water for power. 
Storekeepers report that farmer buying 
has been heavier this year than last with a 
considerably greater percentage of cash busi¬ 
ness. To a large extent this signifies better 
financial conditions in farming communities. 
Milk has brought better returns both in cheese 
and fluid form; hay is selling from $15.00 to 
$17.00 per ton; and those who had potatoes 
are getting a good price for them. Turkeys, 
however, wereja disappointment, the market 
going all to pieces before the Thanksgiving 
trade had fairly gotten started. At the big 
turkey-market days in St. Lawrence County 
many truck loads were taken home by the 
farmers rather than take the small prices 
offered. 
O. G. Agne is now county agent in Jefferson 
County, taking the place of W. I. Roe who, w r ith 
headquarters at Watertown, has entered the 
real estate and insurance field for the northern 
counties. 
The Rural School Bill is having active con¬ 
sideration in many sections and the farmers 
are discussing it pro and con. 
There was considerable discussion in each of 
the counties as to the advisability of making 
as large appropriations for the farm and home 
bureau work due to the falling off in active 
interest as evinced by memberships. It was 
finally decided in every case to give the same 
as last year, for it was believed that the general 
hard times were at the bottom of the falling 
off of membership rather than an idea that the 
work was of little value.—W. I. R-

County Notes 
Cortland Co.—The winter weather thus far 
has been extremely mild. There has been some 
sleighing which was only fair. A few farmers 
are hauling cabbage which brings in the 
neighborhood of $12 a ton. Our county taxes 
for 1924 is $33.44 per thousand, assessment 
valuation which is approximately more than 
1923. This is discouraging to many farmers 
in view of the low prices received for milk, 
potatoes, cabbage. Potatoes are now selling 
for 60c a bushel.—G. A. B. 
Schenectady Co.—The weather during the 
month of December was very fine. It was 
really warm, giving farmers an excellent chance 
to get a good supply of wood cut and also to 
trim brush out of the fence corners and ditches. 
Wells and springs are once more well supplied 
with water. Hay is being sold as soon as 
pressed at about $20 a ton. Eggs have been 
very scarce and are bringing a good price. 
Butter also brings a good price. Quite a few 
auctions are being held.—S. W. G. 
Ontario Co.—Thus far we have had a very 
open winter. Up to the first of the year we 
have had no sleighing, although we had a white 
Christmas. Farmers got an enormous amount 
of fall plowing done this year. Some are even 
plowing at the present time. Live stock was 
kept on pasture very late. Farm taxes are 
high.—E. T. B. 
Rensselaer Co.—Winter so far as been open 
and mild, We have had plenty of rain to 
start springs once more. H. P. Hood & Son 
have enlarged their ice ponds so that one cut¬ 
ting will fill both of their ice houses. Stock 
went into winter quarters looking very fine. 
Most farmers are now busy cutting up wood. 
The town of Hoosick has appropriated $7,000 
for keeping open roads for auto trucks which 
draw milk and general farm produce. Several 
farms have changed hands during the past 
year.— C. H. Y. 
The DeLaval Milker 
-AWonderful Success 
After eight years of successful opera¬ 
tion, and with more than 15,000 in 
actual use giving remarkable satisfac¬ 
tion, there is no longer any question 
that the De Laval Milker is superior 
to any other method of milking. At 
first the De Laval Milker was regarded 
as just another milking machine, but 
now with ample time to have demon¬ 
strated its superior qualities it is gener¬ 
ally admitted that it is in a class by 
itself and “The Better Way of Milk¬ 
ing” in every respect. Consider such 
expressions as the following from De 
Laval Users: 
to whether the De Laval Milker will pay 
them.”—R. R. Stevens, Ontario(Canada) 
—"We have made 13 Advance Registry 
records and used the De Laval Milker 
on all of them. Our increase in milk 
production for the whole herd has been 
about 10% over hand milking."— 
Newberry State Hospital, Michigan. 
—“All the above named cows (three 
daughters of Belle’s St. Mawes Lad, who 
qualified for a silver medal), were milked 
the entire time with a De Laval Milker 
and I firmly believe their production 
proves conclusively that it is ‘The 
Better Way of Milking’.”—L. C. Daniels, 
Oregon, .owner of World’s Champion 
Sr. Two-Year-Old Jersey. 
—“I am very proud and naturally much 
gratified over my success in producing 
these champion animals (World's Cham¬ 
pion Holstein in 305-day class; also 
Champion Jr. and Sr. Two-Year-Old 
Holstein for Canada), but it is only right 
that I should give the De Laval Milking 
Machine its full dues as the most im¬ 
portant agency in the development of 
these records. These facts are all be¬ 
yond question and should settle the mat¬ 
ter conclusively for those intelligent 
dairymen who are asking the question as 
And thus we could go on quoting 
from hundreds and hundreds of satis¬ 
fied De Laval owners from all sections 
of the country. If you are milking ten 
or more cows you need a De Laval,
