Cooperative Bills Pass Legislature 
T HE passage, in the closing hours of 
the legislature, of two bills relating 
to cooperative marketing has been re¬ 
ceived with general approval by organ¬ 
ized farmers of the State. Many expres¬ 
sions of satisfaction from prominent 
farmers have been received at the head¬ 
quarters of the New York Cooperative 
Council here. The bills now await the 
Governor’s signature — to go on the stat¬ 
ute books. 
One measure, the so-called Cooperative 
Marketing Act, was sought particularly 
by fruit, potato and vegetable growers, 
who are now engaged in big expansion 
campaigns based on a five-year contract 
between grower and organization. 
The Act permits the five-year contract. 
It changes in no way the cooperative 
marketing legislation now on the statute 
books under which many of the big state 
organizations such as the Dairymen’s 
League Cooperative Association are or¬ 
ganized. 
The other bill calls for a $45,000 appro¬ 
priation for the teaching of the principles 
of cooperative marketing at the New York 
State College of Agriculture. 
| Eastern States Milk Producers 
in Annual Meeting 
| HPHE annual meeting of the Eastern 
i A States Milk Producers, Inc., an 
association of farmer-owned milk plants, 
' was held at Utica, N. Y., on April 16. 
The following officers were elected: 
M. B. Garlock, president; F. I. Pinckney 
and Charles M. Bull, vice-presidents; 
Roscoe Sargent, secretary; and B. J. 
Shaut, treasurer. 
The directors of the association were 
elected as follows: Fred I. Pinckney, 
Syracuse; Roscoe Sargent, Lacona; Bar¬ 
ney J. Shaut, Little Falls; Julius Saunders 
and Bert Kock, St. Johnsville; Benjamin 
G. Van Alstine, Canajoharie; John L. 
Ingersoll, Glen-Mohawk Milk Associa¬ 
tion, Fultonville; Frederick E. Gaus and 
Grant Nuttal, Prospect; Martin Herman, 
Callicoon; John Cooper, Bullville; Charles 
M. Bull, Farmers’ Cooperative, Pough¬ 
keepsie; E. H. Peet, Middlebury, Addi¬ 
son County, Vt.; Burton F. Archibald, 
New Kingston; Scott Hinckley, Cold 
Springs Cooperative, Roxbury. 
In his report as president, Mr. Garlock 
reviewed the dairy situation and placed 
before the members some very pertinent 
questions. He stated in part: 
“(7) Are we eventually to have one 
organization marketing all the farmers’ 
milk, or are we to have three or four agen¬ 
cies each representing different special 
interests and if the latter is to be the case, 
are we to find some type or organization 
which will permit all of these groups to 
function together in solving their common 
marketing problems? 
“These problems are big enough and 
important enough and their solution is 
such an urgent necessity that the best 
talents of all men interested in the produc¬ 
tion and marketing of milk should be 
brought together to solve them for the 
benefit not only of the milk producer but 
of the distributing and consuming public 
as well.” 
Dutchess County Spray Infor¬ 
mation Service Starts 
The spray service of the Dutchess 
County Farm Bureau is under way. Mr. 
A. L. Sheppard, recently appointed 
county agricultural agent, is sending out 
his first service, calling attention to the 
approaching time for the application of 
dormant spray on apples. The letter 
states that it is not a notice to spray but a 
reminder that the time for this application 
is dr airing near. The time to apply, the 
letter states, is when the leaves are about 
one-quarter to one-half inch in size and * 
that growers with large orchards should 
plan to begin early enough to complete 
the work before the buds have developed 
very much beyond this stage, lest some 
burning result. 
Lime sulphur is the recommended 
spray for this application to control San 
Jose scale as well as early stages of apple 
scab. Furthermore the control of bud 
moths, case bearers and leaf rollers at 
this time may also be checked by the 
addition of lead arsenate to the spray 
mixture. The Rosy Aphis is another 
important pest that is with us most every 
year and the most practical time to 
destroy it is when the insects are clustered 
upon the opening buds. Nicotine sulphate 
added to the mixture will take care of 
these insects. The spray mixture is as 
follows: Lime sulphur (testing 32 degrees 
Baume), 11 gallons; nicotine sulphate, 
M pint; lead arsenate, powder, 2}/$ 
pounds; water, to make up 100 gallons. 
Mr. Sheppard plans to inform all those 
growers who are in the spray service 
when the buds have reached the proper 
stage for this application. 
“Before our dairy marketing organiza¬ 
tions can render the efficient service 
expected of them several questions of 
policy and of great importance must be 
solved by the dairymen themselves. 
These questions can not be solved merely 
by the cooperation of two or three of the 
farmer groups so long as a vast bulk of 
dairymen remain passive and non-cooper¬ 
ating. The intellectual, spiritual, finan¬ 
cial and moral support of all these 
dairymen must be enlisted in an effort to 
settle some of these puzzling problems, 
among which are: — 
“(1) What is the proper method of 
pricing milk — the multiple price or the 
flat price? 
(2) YN hat facts should be taken into 
consideration in determining prices? 
1 (3) What is the relative cost of making 
the different grades of milk required to 
meet the requirements of the different 
kinds of markets, and what differentials 
should be established between these dif¬ 
ferent grades? 
“ (4) What areas are best suited to sup¬ 
ply the Metropolitan District with cream, 
fluid milk and manufactured surplus? 
“(5) What is the best method for hand¬ 
ling the surplus? 
(6) Is it practical to minimize the 
surplus problem by evening up the 
production of milk throughout the year 
m certain sections, thus rendering it un¬ 
necessary for large additional numbers of 
farmers every year to go to the extra ex¬ 
pense of making high cost market milk 
tor which there is a market but part of the 
}car, to take care of the market’s in¬ 
cased fall and winter demands? 
News From Along the Southern 
Tier 
r PHE maple sugar season has been a 
A. fairly good one for most owners of 
orchards, although the runs have been 
spotted, some bushes running lightly and 
others doing fine. The price for syrup 
has run from $2.00 wholesale to $2.50 
to private customers, with sugar at 30 
cents per pound. Some report syrup and 
sugar as having the finest flavor in many 
years. 
Cloverdale Creamery Company, which 
handles exclusively League milk, is doing 
some fine advertising, on a recent night 
carrying a whole page in the Evening Press 
of Binghamton, setting forth the good 
qualities of milk as an article of food. 
On some well-drained farms the plow 
has been started, notably the Whitney 
Point Stock Farm. While the snow was 
deep in places, on this farm the plows 
were running. This kind of work is 
rather late, however, on account of the 
backward season. 
Potatoes are commanding a little better 
price, although the figure hovers around 
a dollar a bushel. Not as many will be 
planted, it is believed, as in former years. 
On the 29th the Broome County 
Dairymen’s League held a special meeting 
in the public library, Binghamton. Ad¬ 
dresses were made by Rush Lewis of the 
League force and Mr. Dewitt, president 
of the Susquehanna Countv, Pa., League.
