alternate to the district convention 
which was held on May 6. At the May 6th

New York County Notes 
Delaware County—Little spring work 
has been done as yet, up to May 1, on 
account of the late season. Auctions are 
numerous, grade cows bring from $50 
to $75. Some purebreds, due to freshen 
in the fall, are offered at private sale for 
$100. Ayer & McKinney’s creamery at 
Delhi paid $2.30 flat price for March 
milk. It is expected that the April price 
will be about the same. Much milk that 
formerly went to Delhi is now going to 
Andes, Bovina Center and Fraser’s 
Station. Prices for hauling range from 6 
to 10c per 100 pounds. In some parts 
of the county farmers have to pay as high 
as 20 to 25c for having their milk hauled. 
The country is still full of potatoes. The 
Farm Bureau has taken steps to secure 
buyers and cars are being loaded at Delhi, 
Hamden and Delancey. Potatoes of No. 
1 grade are bringing 70c.—E. M. N. 
Steuben County—Spring is very back¬ 
ward, scarcely any seeding having been 
done and no planting whatever. Up to 
the first of May pastures had not started, 
and yet hay is offered for $16 to $17 a 
ton, loose. Potatoes are bringing around 
75c a bushel, eggs are worth 20 to 22c a 
dozen at the local markets but 26 to 27c 
when shipped. Butter is bringing from 
40 to 45c a pound. Road construction is 
under full swing and extensive operations 
are under way. Farmers have come to 
the conclusion that they will do what 
they can alone and leave the rest go 
undone rather than pay out all for hired 
help.—C. H. E. 
In Western New York 
Chautauqua County —Farmers are busy 
fixing up fences and plowing. Some 
have planted potatoes and sown their 
oats. Hay has practically all been 
cleaned out, only a small amount being 
held for feeding horses. Many farmers 
have turned their cattle out to pasture. 
Farmers in general made considerable 
maple syrup this year, which is of good 
quality.—P. S. S. 
Monroe County —The season is a late 
one in this section but a favorable one for 
fruit so far. We are in the midst of spray¬ 
ing. —M. C. B. 
Ontario County —We are having a 
cold, late spring. Very few oats have 
been sown and things in general are very 
backward. Grass and wheat are looking 
well. Help is scarce and high and hard 
to get at any price.—H. D. S. 
On Long Island 
Nassau County—Potato planting has 
been completed and farmers are now 
getting ready to put in corn and other 
vegetable crops. Garden farmers in 
some sections are pulling onions and in a 
short while they will be cutting field 
salad. The real estate boom that has hit 
the western end of our county and the 
eastern end of the neighboring county of 
Queens is responsible for the movements 
of a large number of farmers further east 
on the Island. Around the village of 
Queens, where intensive vegetable garden¬ 
ing was the chief industry only a couple 
of years ago, is to-day entirely made up of 
suburban homes. Real estate values 
have increased so rapidly that farmers 
cannot afford to hold on to their land for 
agricultural prices. This very section 
was once the heart of the farming indus¬ 
try of the western end of the Island, but 
the motor truck and improved roads have 
shifted the center of the industry many 
miles eastward.—F. 0. W. 
Suffolk County—The annual cattle drive 
was held during the early part of 
this month. This affair is only a minia¬ 
ture to-day of what it was in years gone 
by. The cattle drive consists of driving 
of young cattle down to Montauk Point 
where they graze all summer. The grass 
down on the East end is ideal for pasture. 
Years ago, the cattle drives were a 
wonderful affair and thousands of head 
' were involved. There was the Easthamp- 
ton Drove and drQves from other com¬ 
munities, that were all united into one 
giant herd and slowly headed down on to 
the Point. At the end of the season the 
annual round-up was held when the herds 
were again segregated and returned. The 
task of driving has been handed down 
from father and son but those in charge 
to-day only drive a spectre of the orig¬ 
inal herd. Potato growing has taken the 
place of the cattle and dairy business.—

County Republican Committee from 1890 
to 1920, when he was elected to the farms 
and markets council post for a period of 
ten years. 
He was one of the pioneer producers 
of certified milk, being the organizer of 
the old Western New York Milk Pro¬ 
ducers’ Association. 
He is survived by his widow, Elizabeth 
Brumagin Dana.

Read Silo Character 
As you do a man’s 
Y OU read a man’s character in 
his face. Look to the same fea¬ 
tures on a silo to judge its qualities. 
In the front of the Unadilla Silo, 
you can see many practical, valuable 
advantages that speak of the 
thoroiighness, care and thought 
with which every detail of the 
whole silo is worked out. 
Its continuous opening; water¬ 
tight, air-tight, non-sticking doors; 
wide, safe, easy combination door 
fasteners and ladder; door front 
assembled at the factory; hoop ends 
adjustable from ladder, these and 
many other features of the front of 
a Unadilla are some indication of 
the bigger silo value the Unadilla 
gives you for every dollar. 
Send for catalog. You’ll find it full of 
silo information you shouldn’t miss. 
For the man who orders early we offer 
a special discount that makes a real 
saving in your silo purchase. 
The Unadilla can be had on con¬ 
venient terms.
