New Yorker Appointed Attorney-General

Adirondack Land Donated to 
College of Forestry 
T HE New York State College of 
Forestry at Syracuse University has 
received a gift from Charles Lathrop 
Pack of Lakewood, N. J., of 1,000 acres 
of Adirondack forestry land. Mr. Pack 
is president of the American Tree Associa¬ 
tion and his gift is the first of its kind on 
record from a resident of another State. 
This piece of land will be used for 
demonstrational and experimental pur¬ 
poses. Due to its location it will give 
the college many added facilities for the 
study of improved forestry methods. 
gone the following spring while most of the 
plants from native seed would live 
through right alongside. This has given 
the farmers of these counties something to 
think about. 
Farm labor will be a serious factor to be 
reckoned within farm operations again 
this summer. With the high wages draw¬ 
ing more into the villages and cities again 
this winter, there is an even greater short¬ 
age in prospect. Many men with large 
farms are getting very discouraged for 
they had held on hoping and thinking 
that the financial conditions would be 
somewhat better this spring and that they 
could come nearer competing with other 
industries for men.—W. I. Roe. 
New York Cow Finishes 
Phenomenal Record 
A AGGIE, the famous grade Holstein 
cow owned by 'S. W. Barber of 
Scottsburg, Livingston County, has com¬ 
pleted her year’s record in the Livonia 
Cow Testing Association with 33,557.6 
pounds of milk and 1,616.1 pounds of 
butterfat. She was milked throughout 
the year with a milking machine. In 
addition to her grain ration, she was fed 
alfalfa hay, except during the summer 
when she received green alfalfa, when 
corn silage was displaced by green corn 
during the season when this was available. 
Beet pulp and fresh beets were alternated 
in the ration. 
To show how she maintained her 
production, during last December she 
ran first in the production of milk, lead¬ 
ing the second cow, a grade Guernsey 
owned by G. H. Lindsey of Freeville, by 
1,000 pounds of milk. Mr. Lindsey’s 
cow, however, beat Aaggie in the produc¬ 
tion of butterfat by approximately 10 
pounds. However, the Guernsey was 
on her first month of lactation while 
Aaggie was on her tenth. 
Farm News from the “North 
Country” 
FAESPITE the season being still early 
spring, the agricultural societies are 
preparing for the fairs to be held next fall. 
The Governeur Society under the direc¬ 
tion of President B. G. Parker, is planning 
for the best fair they have yet held and 
have selected the dates—August 19 to 22 
inclusive. The Jefferson County fair will 
be held September 2 to 5 with E. F. 
Livermore starting on his fourth year as 
president. “The little country theater” 
which was carried out during the four 
days of the fair last September under the 
supervision of the Grange and Home 
Bureau in cooperation with the agricul¬ 
tural society, will be put on again this 
year. 
Oats are selling around 55c and 6‘0c. 
Those farmers who have selected pure 
strain seed of the improved sorts are 
getting 90c and $1.00 in quantity for their 
oats for seed purposes. With the snow 
pretty well off the meadows the farmers 
are anxiously watching the weather for on 
that depends the crop of clover—the big 
need in these dairy counties. Conditions 
look favorable in most sections at this 
time. 
Experimental plantings of cloverseed 
from different countries by the North 
county Farm Bureaus in 1922 proved 
v cry conclusively that clover failure in the 
spring after a good seeding in the fall, may 
he due to the source of supply as well as to 
ohmatie conditions as far as northern New 
*-ork is concerned. In many cases the 
seed produced in Italy or some other 
warm country grew as well or better than 
fiative seed and went into winter looking 
extremely well but would be practically aU 
County Notes 
Suffolk County — Farmers started 
planting potatoes during the last week in 
March, but the heavy snowstorm that 
came on April 1 stopped all operations for 
several days. Old crop potatoes are 
pretty well cleaned out and another week 
or two will see all old stock shipped.— 
H. R. T. 
Rensselaer County —Frost is coming 
out of the ground rapidly. Potatoes are 
mostly in the buyers hands; prices now 
$2 per 180 pounds. Eggs are bringing 
28c a dozen wholesale, corn $1 a bushel, 
oats 58c, bran $2 a hundred. I saw the 
finest bunch of shoats sold at a bargain 
recently, one bunch of 14 weighing 2,500 
pounds and another 14 weighing 2,300, 
all sold for 7c a pound.—C. H. Y. 
In Northern New York 
Essex County—Snow has mostly disap¬ 
peared. The thaw has been gradual and 
there have been no floods. Farmers are 
sawing wood, hauling out manure and 
preparing in general for spring work. 
The late arrival of winter enabled much 
plowing to be done last fall, consequently 
not so much will have to be done this 
spring. Cows have wintered well. There 
is not much sale for new milch cows or 
young stock. Sap is running well. Veals 
are bringing 10c live weight, eggs 35 to 
40c a dozen, potatoes $1 a bushel. Ice 
harvest this year was exceptionally good. 
—M. E. Burdick. 
St. Lawrence County—The weather has 
been cold and very backward, being ac¬ 
companied with high winds and a great 
deal of snow. At the rate it is going 
spring is a long way off. Cattle wintered 
well. Some hay is being baled to ship. 
Many are cutting up wood for the com¬ 
ing year. All farmers have put up a 
good supply of ice. Many tenants are 
changing this season.— H. S. Howard. 
In Western New York 
Ontario County—We had an old- 
fashioned March. It came in like a lamb 
and went out like a lion and it was filled 
with some very stormy days. The wind 
was in the northwest for over two weeks 
and felt as if it came right from an iceberg. 
It was very severe on late sown wheat. 
Young pigs and lambs are doing fine. 
Hired help is high priced and very scarce. 
Farmers are busy cutting wood, hauling 
out manure, trimming trees and attending 
the many auctions that are being held.— 
E. T. B. 
Chautauqua County—Folks are in the 
midst of making preparations for the 
making of sugar. Some are installing 
new evaporators and building sugar 
houses, cutting and hauling up the wood 
for boiling the sap. Some auctions have 
been held recently in the neighborhood. 
Cows averaged about $40 per head. 
Every foot of available hay is being 
bought up. What the farmers do not buy 
to feed is being shipped away. The poul¬ 
try business is running full blast in this 
part of the country and more are going 
into it all the while. With so many going 
into it, the bottom is apt to fall out of the 
thing.—P. S. Scriven.
