News From Among the Farmers 
St. Lawrence County Cheese Factories Federate—New York County Notes 
T WENTY-SIX cooperative cheese pro¬ 
ducers’ associations have been formed 
in St. Lawrence County, New York, and 
have federated themselves together into 
the St. Lawrence County Cheese Pro¬ 
ducers’ Cooperative Association. Eigh¬ 
teen of the local associations are new, 
having been recently formed around 
local cheese factories. It is expected 
that the federation will control about 
six million pounds of cheese this year, 
w r hich is approximately one-eleventh of 
the production of the State. St. Law¬ 
rence is one of New York’s heaviest 
cheese producing counties. Eight, of the 
associations, all of which are in one 
township, were formed about four years 
ago. Sales have been handled through a 
cheese sales board made up of one repre¬ 
sentative from each of the local factories, 
which meet and bargain on the prices for 
the week. 
Other North Country Notes 
A VERY unusual season is being ex¬ 
perienced up here in Jefferson 
County. Cold weather has followed a 
great deal of rain. Land has dried off very 
slowly and many places have not been 
worked at all as yet and here it is the 
second week in June. High ground that 
could be worked and sowed to grain, looks 
very promising but it is a poor year to 
put down new meadows as it will be so 
late before the grass can get started. 
Tractors are fast taking the place of the 
hired man. Farmers who do not own 
them are hiring a few days’ work from 
their neighbors who have them. 
May milk brought $1.50 per 100 on the 
3 per cent, basis and it is reported that 
it will be $1.85 for June. Butter is bring- 
from 45 to 47c. Eggs are bringing from 
25 to 28c a dozen. Fowls are worth 
25c a pound live weight and 32c dressed. 
Veals are bringing from 10c a pound live 
weight. New milch cows that are fancy 
are bringing $100 a head. The pure bred 
Holstein dairy of the late P. D. Helmer 
was sold at auction recently to close the 
estate. Many local folks are doing good 
business in poultry. The writer has 
shipped a number of settings of turkey 
eggs, some going way down into Penn¬ 
sylvania. One local woman is delivering 
broilers to Watertown.— Mrs. J. C. D. 
been commenced. Peas seem to be com¬ 
ing on quite well. I saw some fields of 
beans being planted over, as condiderable 
bean seed has rotted. There are cases 
both in Oneida county and here at home 
in Chenango County where corn has 
rotted, but one can hardly tell to what 
extent replanting will be necessary. 
The Oriskany Valley is real wondering 
farming country. It is apparently not 
so extensively dairying as I am accus¬ 
tomed to, no doubt because of soil and 
climate, and somewhat because of mar¬ 
kets. Land is worth more, quite an 
amount of it seems to be between $200 
and $300 an acre. Of this price there may 
be so much more profit in farming, but 
it is very pleasant to live there. 
I find rather more division on the pool 
question over in Oneida, but there are 
strong advocates on both sides. There is 
dejection over prices on all sides as at 
home. Foreigners who have come here 
and those from the west, seem more hope¬ 
ful than the natives. 
According to N. R. Peet, General 
Manager of the Association, the Ware¬ 
housing Corporation has been incorpor¬ 
ated under the name of “Fruit Growers, 
Warehousing Corporation.” The di¬ 
rectors who have been elected to serve 
until the first annual meeting are: George 
W. Dunn, President of the Webster 
Association; F. C. Humphrey President 
of the Knowlesville Association; C. W. 
McKay, Attorney, Rochester, E. L. 
Moody, President of the Rushville Local; 
and H. E. Wheeler, President of the 
Ontario County Trust Company, Can¬ 
andaigua. Mr. Wheeler has been elected 
president of the Board, Mr. Dunn, vice- 
president and Mr. Moody, treasurer.

We are not getting along very fast with 
work this spring. It has been so wet up 
to the second week in June we were un¬ 
able to do any planting at all. The early 
part of the second week looks more 
promising.—E. C. 
Wyoming County —The Farmes Picnic 
will be held at Warsaw on June 24. At 
last we have had a week of good weather 
to put in crop (written June 4). Some 
oats and potatoes are coming up. Farmers 
are doing most of their work without 
extra help which with bad weather condi¬ 
tions will most as likely reduce crop 
production. Not many young cattle in 
this section and there are about 10 per 
cent, less cows than a year ago. Cows are 
rather thin and making less milk. Those 
who have hay are still feeding their cows. 
Not much building or- repair work being 
done. There seems to be a general slow'- 
ing up in road building. Some men are 
looking for work at former high wages.— 
O. L. R. r 
(Continued from page 572) 
planting has not been successful. How¬ 
ever, after three or four years the dark 
green tops of the little trees will begin to 
show through, and in a surprisingly short 
time you will have a new forest started 
that will come on rapidly—providing, 
of course, you keep out the forest’s 
greatest enemy—fire. 
We all like to look ahead and think of 
what the future has for us, individually. 
Some of us like to look ahead and think 
of what our city and our nation may be as 
time passes. We all want our city and our 
state, and our nation, to be better—a 
better place in which to live—for our¬ 
selves and our children. I think a good 
deal of New York State, and as I know 
something of it I like to dream in a way 
of the time when all of the forest lands of 
the Adirondacks and the Catskills, and of 
Southern and Western New York, will 
again be covered with a fine growing 
forest. When this time comes our wood- 
usiqg industries will come back to our 
sm all communities. It won’t cost us so 
much to build our homes because wood 
will be more plentiful and nearer to us. 
We won’t have so many floods and pos¬ 
sibly so much dry weather, because the 
forests will hold the water and give it off 
slowly to our springs, and streams and 
rivers. There will be more fish and game, 
and I am going to tell you frankly that 
I like to fish and hunt, and our forests 
will be better playgrounds for all of us. 
Conditions in Central New York 
H. H. Lyon 
Wing R. Smith Dies Suddenly 
T HE season in Chenango County is 
seemingly the latest that we have had 
for many years. Some ground that was 
intended for oats will be put into other 
crops and fewer new seedings will be 
started than usual. Furthermore it is not 
likely that the usual acreage of corn will 
be grown, for only a moderate percentage 
has been planted by June 10. It is an 
even guess that less cabbage will be grown 
compared to other years. It seems to be 
the general belief that the hay crop will 
be heavy. My own ideas coincide with 
this largely, although the meadows do 
not seem to have advanced much. 
We have had an abundance of rain but 
it has been too cool for better results. 
However, I never give up the hay crop as 
early as the 10th and even the middle of 
June may be still time enough for the 
grass to grow some. With so much mois¬ 
ture on hand a little warm weather now 
would soon send grass along at a rapid 
rate. I am not prepared to talk a poor 
season yet. Some 40 years ago the writer 
remembers a season that was too cool 
all the way through and this year we are 
still looking for warm weather. 
W ING R. SMITH, for twenty-eight 
years treasurer of The Holstein- 
Friesian Association of America and one 
of the most prominent importers and 
breeders of Holstein cattle in this coun¬ 
try, died suddenly of acute indigestion 
June 8 on a train enroute from New York 
City to his home in Syracuse, N. Y. He 
was returning from the convention of 
the national Holstein Association at 
Richmond, Virginia, when stricken. 
Mr. Smith was seventy-four years of 
age and member of the first Holstein 
breeders’ society known as the Holstein 
Breeders’ Association of America. When 
this organization was merged with the 
Dutch Friesian Association in 1885, he 
became a charter member of The Hol- 
stein-Friesian Association of America. 
With his brother, William J. Smith, 
and their partner Edward A. Powell, 
he brought some of the finest specimens 
of the breed to this country from Holland. 
He personally selected the cows Clothilde 
and Netherland Queen, foundation cows 
of two present-day leading families of the 
breed. i
