Potato Growers Discontinue Co-op. Campaign 
A S we go to press, word comes to 
us that the New York State Potato 
a iul Cabbage Growers’ Cooperative Asso¬ 
ciation has temporarily, at least, discon¬ 
tinued its activities. It is stated that the 
reason for this is the fact that farmers are 
so busy with their spring work they have 
little opportunity to give much time and 
effort to the membership campaign. The 
campaign has been, therefore, discon¬ 
tinued. In order to cut down the over¬ 
head, the Rochester office has been 
closed. 
Among the Farmers 
Suffolk County —Potatoes are prac¬ 
tically all planted. A few fellows are still 
putting in the tail end of the crop, but 
most of the crop is in the ground. They 
are now getting ready for corn planting 
and also getting land in shape to put into 
cauliflower later. The season is quite late 
down here. During the last week in April 
we had several days of chilly weather 
with rainy and drizzly mists mixed. 
Potato planting is about the same as last 
year. If there is any change, there may 
be a very, very slight increase. Dairies 
along the South shore of the east end, 
especially around Southampton and far¬ 
ther East, are rapidly having their herds 
cleared of T B. It is not generally known 
but there is quite a little dairy business 
down in this section to take care of the 
east end milk supply.—J. C. C. 
Nassau County — Cobblers are all 
planted and most growers are pretty well 
into their Green Mountains planting. An¬ 
other week will see potatoes about all 
planted. A few may be late on account 
of the late spring. The vegetable men 
are rapidly getting their early stuff plant¬ 
ed, in fact early salads and bunch stuffs 
are showing up quite strong and green 
batches of fresh vegetables are in evi¬ 
dence in such sections as Valley Stream. 
The vegetable men in the neighboring 
county of Queens are rapidly getting their 
irrigated land into crops for the early 
season market. If the weather would 
only turn good and warm, we would see 
corn planting within t,he next two weeks. 
-J. K. S. 
In the North Country 
Jefferson County —This part of the 
North Country is experiencing a very 
late spring. Practically no spring work has 
been done at all. A few farmers who have 
gravelly soil have a small acreage of oats 
sown. Practically no potatoes were 
planted or gardens made, up to the first 
of May. New seedings look fine and 
clover promises to be a good crop. It 
would be a wonderful advantage to most 
farmers if some of this crop was sold. 
Butter ranges in price from 45 to 55c. 
Eggs are bringing from 20 to 25c a dozen, 
with the demand good. Right now seems 
to be the good time to market fowls be¬ 
fore the heavy broiler season starts. 
Most of the buyers are paying 32c a 
pound for nicely dressed fat fowls. Veal 
calves are bringing from 9 to 10c per 
pound, live weight. Bob calves, $2 each. 
Seed oats are from 70c to $1 a bushel.— 
Mrs. C. J. D. 
Along the Southern Tier 
Tioga County —Spring is late. Trees 
are just beginning to bud out and here 
it is the last of April. But little farming 
is being done with the exception of haul¬ 
ing out manure and lime. Some farmers 
are still hauling feed for the stock. Farm 
labor is very scarce, with the result that 
many farmers are disposing of parts’of their 
herds and planning to do only as much 
cropping as they can handle nicely them¬ 
selves. Those farmers who have help 
in their own families are fortunate and 
can well afford to make a “go of it.” 
But those who are compelled to depend 
on hired labor have got to go some to raise 
crops that will pay for the labor alone. 
That has been the experience of farmers 
in the last few years. Many farms are 
changing ownership and many sales of 
stock and personal property are being 
held. Quite a number of people from the 
old world are arriving in this section, 
taking up the farms. They seem to raise 
fine crops of whatever they put in the 
ground. They are thrifty and hard-work¬ 
ing people.— Mrs. D. B. 
In Western New York 
Wayne County —The season is very 
late. Some farmers have planted oats. 
It is most unusual to have seeding de¬ 
layed to this late date. It is very seldom 
that we approach so close to May with so 
little oat seeding. Farmers are anxious 
to get in their potatoes and anxious 
to get cabbage land ready but it is no 
use with the weather the way it has 
been. Seedings look fair. 
Monroe County —There was a slight 
flurry through the potato market in this 
section around Rochester, through the 
latter part of April, but it was only tem¬ 
porary. Some farmers expect to see po¬ 
tatoes go to $1, but 80c was about the high 
mark. It is almost impossible to get a 
good estimate of the number of potatoes 
that are held back. Some say that the 
quantities are unusually heavy. Others 
say they are not. In fact some say that 
potatoes are going to go to 90c. Judging 
on this immediate section deliveries at 
the car are steady at 75 to 80c, depending 
on the slight rise and fall of the market. 
The apple situation continues very dull. 
There are still a lot of tree-run stock in 
storage and men who have stocks are 
dumping them on the market irrespec¬ 
tive of demand. It also continues to 
make the situation discouraging as far as 
the 1923 crop is concerned. Apples are 
being shipped on consignment, which is 
bad. Prices have a very wide range, de¬ 
pending on the quality, and tree-run prices 
are never satisfactory. It is reported that 
Ben Davis are showing advanced ripen¬ 
ing. In other words, they have got to 
come out of storage sooner than usual. 
Right now Baldwins are in the heaviest 
movement.—N. Y. P. 
Livingston County —• The Genesee 
River has receded considerably. Some 
parts of the flats were still flooded up to 
the latter part of April. Where the cur¬ 
rent was strong, considerable damage 
was done. To the farmers on the flats, 
however, this is nothing out of the ordi¬ 
nary for they expect every year to have 
trouble with water. Some day the farm¬ 
ers throughout this section are going to 
realize that they will have to reforest the 
steep hillsides along this valley to stop 
these sudden floods. The hills back of 
the valley need it just as bad as those 
close to it. Many of these hills are 
adapted to nothing but timber.—N. W. S. 
New York Forestry Campaign 
Making Headway 
ORESTRY work in New York is 
going ahead steadily. According to 
C. E. Taylor of the New York State 
College of Agriculture, there are over 
1,000 plantations being started this year 
all over New York State. These planta¬ 
tions vary in size from one acre to over 
500. He also states that three counties 
in New York, Herkimer, Chenango and 
Cortland, have started county forests. 
Herkimer was the first to take the step. 
The idea back of this being that eventu¬ 
ally the county forests may bring in 
revenue to help defray county expenses. 
Delaware, Where the Dairy Cow Is Queen

neighbors and I have known them in a 
general way for a good many years. 
Some day I hope to go back again and 
ride over those noble hills and see the big 
barns and the cattle trailing down the 
roads and old farmhouses snuggled in the 
elbow' of the valley. Possibly I might 
even get into that frame of mind whereby 
I would be glad that Schoharie County 
joined on Delaware.
