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 
thoroughness, 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 
•ilo information you shouldn’t miss. 
For the man who orders early we offer 
t special discount that makes a real 
saving in your silo purchase. 
The Unadilla can be had on con¬

Because it lasts many years 
longer —costs less per year— 
keeps silage better —than any 
ordinary stave silo. Proved by 
experience wherever used. 
And there’s a good, sound reason— 
Craine scientific 3-wall construction. 
Inside the upright staves. Over this, 
the waterproof, frost-stopping Silafelt. 
Then the continuous Crainelox Spiral 
Hooping that tightly binds the whole 
silo together. Here’s real strength that 
saves you repair and 
replacement costs.

Among the Farmers 
McNary-Haugen Bill Fails to Pass Congress 
T HE McNary-Haugen Bill, a farm 
relief measure, is a dead issue. This 
bill would have authorized the purchase 
of surplus farm products by a govern¬ 
ment commission, selling them in foreign 
markets. The price-fixing feature of the 
bill undoubtedly killed it and President 
Coolidge has declined to back any last 
minute make-shift plan. Congress ad¬ 
journed June 7, which gave little time 
to take any such action. Farm relief 
legislation is therefore dead until the 
next short session which will convene 
December 1. 
The Muscle Shoals controversy sitf- 
£ered the same fate and that will also 
come up in the short session. 
Dairymen’s League Buys in 
Own Securities 
HPHE Board of Directors of the Dairy- 
1 men’s League Cooperative Associa¬ 
tion, Inc., has voted to use an initial 
appropriation of $250,000 to a sinking 
fund to retire certificates of indebtedness 
for the purchase of certificates of Series A, 
maturing in 1927. The Association will 
pay 95 cents on the dollar for the certifi¬ 
cates, plus accrued interest to July 1, 
1924. Chester Young, the treasurer, 
has been authorized to make the pur¬ 
chases from July 1 to 31, inclusive. 
Numbers from 1 to 10 were placed in 
a hat and President G. W. Slocum, in 
the presence of the directors, drew “ 10,” 
thus determining that the Association 
would buy certificates bearing serial 
numbers ending in a cipher in case 
owners wish to sell. 
Minnesota Potato Growers Join 
Federated 
T HE Minnesota Potato Growers Ex¬ 
change, recently organized with a 
membership of 12,326 growers, has 
joined the Federated Fruit and Vege¬ 
table Growers. This new member adds 
about 20,000 cars of potatoes to the 
business of the Federated which puts it in 
front rank among cooperates both from 
standpoint of volume of business and 
membership. _ 
Morrisville School To Get 
Dormitory 
HROUGH the efforts of J. Arthur 
Brooks, Senator from Madison 
County, the Morrisville State School of 
Agriculture is able to secure from the 
State an appropriation to build a much 
needed dormitory for the farm boys who 
attend the school. Morrisville has one 
of the largest State schools and the addi¬ 
tion of the dormitory will greatly increase 
its opportunity to serve young men who 
wish to get some scientific training for 
farm work. All of the contracts for 
building and equipping the building were 
let to local Madison County tradesmen. 
These men had enough interest and pride 
in the success of the Madison County 
institution to make their bids so low 
that all of the work, even in these high 
priced times, called for considerably less 
than the State appropriated. 
New York County Notes 
Schenectady County.— We are experi¬ 
encing a very backward and wet spring. 
Up to the middle of May only a few oats 
had been sown and very little work had 
been done on the land. Rye is looking 
very well. New seedings heaved out of 
the ground more than usual during the 
past winter. Farm help is very scarce 
and the price is high. Not many farmers 
are hiring help.—S. W. C. 
Nassau County. —The famous annual 
Long Island Potato Tour will be held this 
year on June 25, 26 and 27. Up-state 
"potato growers will find in this tour an 
opportunity to get acquainted with grow¬ 
ers of potatoes in the heaviest producing 
area of New York State. Those who wish 
more information about the tour should 
get in touch with H. C. Odell of Mineola, 
L. I. The tour will start on Monday, 
June 25th, at 10 A.M., from Mineola. 
Last year there were eleven States and 
three foreign countries represented on 
the tour. 
Cortland County. —This spring has 
been one of the most backward in many 
many years. With better weather de¬ 
veloping during the first week in the 
month, several farmers were able to 
get their oats sown. Those who planted 
their corn in May will have to replant in 
many cases as the seed rotted due to the 
wet cold weather. A few farmers have 
potatoes planted. A good hay crop is in 
prospect. Eggs are retailing at from 33 to 
35c per dozen. Grade cows, fresh, have 
been selling for from $60 to 100 per head. 
—G. A. B. 
Jefferson County. —Farmers are way 
back with their spring work on account of 
so much rain. Tractors have been of 
little use so far. Milk at the cheese 
factories has been bringing from. $1.02 
to 1.05 per hundred. Eggs are bringing 
from 20 to 22c a dozen and veal 7 to 10c 
per pound. Few, if any gardens have 
been planted up to the first of June on 
account of the wet weather. No. 1 hay 
is selling in the neighborhood of $20 a ton, 
seed grain from 80c to $1 a bushel, pota¬ 
toes in this section are bringing from $1.40 
to 1.50 per bushel.—M. A. L. 
Along the Southern Tier 
Broome County. —On account of the 
continued rainy and cold weather, farm 
work is far behind schedule and many 
crops are poor. Very few gardens have 
been planted. Chickens are being hatched 
in as large numbers as usual, although 
eggs and fowls are selling slowly and at 
low prices. Farmers turned stock on to 
pasture early on account of the scarcity 
of hay. Up to the first of June very little 
wool had been clipped in this section as 
yet. Buyers are offering only 35c a 
pound and do not seem to be anxious 
to buy. Eggs are bringing from 20 to 
35c per dozen and butter 35 to 40c per 
pound.— Mrs. L. K. C.' 
Steuben County. —The ground has been 
very wet and heavy work has been back¬ 
ward all along. Grass and pastures have 
started well, although they are quite late. 
Many farmers have been obliged to buy bay 
this spring at $20 a ton. Butter is selling 
from 40 to 50c, eggs 20 to 25c.—H._E. D. 
In Western New York 
Monroe County.—Almost continual 
rain and cold weather have retarded 
spring crops greatly. Very little work 
has been done In this section of the State 
up to the middle of May. In a few sec¬ 
tions some plowing and seeding has been 
done on high ground but elsewhere it is 
usually too wet to work.—J. J. H. 
Ontario County.— We are having a 
very wet and cold spring. It has cleared 
off with a few light frosts. Grass and 
wheat are looking well except on low land. 
There is a good deal of oats and barley 
to be sown. Fruit trees are full of blooms. 
—H. D. S. 
Genesee Coifnty.—Things] look pretty 
poor for the farmer at the present time. 
In the fields grass and wheat are not 
looking good, in fact they look quite 
poor. Pear trees came into bloom about 
the first of the month and apple trees are 
just beginning to bud.—J. H. 
New Jersey College Field Day,

HE annual field day of the New Jersey 
State College of Agriculture and the 
New Jersey Experiment Station will be 
held at the College farm at New Bruns¬ 
wick, N. J., on June 18. This field day 
has become quite an institution among 
New Jersey farmers and it is expected 
will draw quite an attendance.
