TWO SUUIVAN COUNTg RECORD — JJjJfFJjihSONVILLE, NEW YORK THURSDAY, SEPT. 4, 1&5& Milk Price Conspiracy Charged b y Lelkowitz Charging a cojispriacy by 32 in dividuals, concerns and corporations in the distribution and sale of milk in metropolitan Syracuse, Attorney General Louis J, Lefkowitz has com menced an action in Supreme Court, Onondaga County to permanently join the defendants from engaging in practices which allegedly violate the Donnelly Act, New York State’s anti - monopoly statnte. Among the defendants are the Syracuse Milk Dealers, Inc., the Syracuse Cooperative Milk Distri butors Bargaining Agency, Inc., and Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association, Inc. The Attorney General’s office estimated that the milk dealers named as defendents do more than 94 per cent of the wholesale and retail business in Syracuse. ^ The complaint charges the defend ants with participating in an al leged combination and conspiracy to fix wholesale and retail milk prices and allocate customers and territories in the Syracuse area since at least 1955. Consen^ Judgement Attorney General Lefkowitz ob tained a consent judgement ,in Su preme Court, New York County, on August 13, 1958, enjoining 74 milk dealers and two milk assiciations from engaging in monopolistic prac tices. The complaint also charges the defendents with conspiracy to fix the prices, terms and conditions for the sale and distribution of milk in the Syracuse area.. The Attorney General seeks a decree permanently prohibiting the defendants fro men- gaging in the trade restraint prac tices alleged in the complaint. “The suit was proceeded,” Attor ney General Lefkowitz said, “by many months of investigation by members of my staff, following the general increase in the price of milk in Syracuse on August 1, 1957.” Sullivan County Youth Fail* Nine hundred and twenty three exhibits were displayed at the Sul livan County Youth Fair, held in conjunction with the Grahamsvilie Fair on August 27 and 28. From all parts of the county came exhibits in dairy, poultry, rabbits, home grounds improvement, handicraft, foods and clothing. The highest ranking exhibits, cho sen by the judges, will be sent to the New York State Fair at Syra cuse, this week. A dress revue in which forty - three girls participated, was held at 7;30 P. M. with Miss Shirley Me Cleon, 4-H Summer Assistant from Cornell, acting as commentator Jean Westbrook, Janet Borden, Judy Kirchner, Linda Yaun of Lib erty, and Harriet Brooks of Gra- hamsville, chosen to represent Sul livan County at the State Dress Ref- vue on September 5, appeared as a grand finale. The Youth Fair is sponsored by f the Sullivan County Extension Ser vice Association. Premiums up to $2500 are offered. Ralph Clark, a representative of the New York State Secretary of Fairs, inspected and passed approv al on exhibits, which were in place, on August 28th.. Poultrymen Tour County Over 100 people engaged in Sulli van County’s number one agricul tural industry went on a “busman’s holiday” to visit other poultry farms throughout the county on Au gust 25th. The tour, sponsored by the Agricultural Extension Service, with agent Earle A. Wilde in charge ,made its first stop at the farm of J. Marcus and Sons, Wood bourne. The features of primary interest to the group there/were th4 large, three story solar house com pleted within the last year, and ex tensive mechanization of the oper ation, including egg collecting. Traveling on to the Gibber Poul try Farm, Kiamesha Lake, one of the largest operations in the county the poultrymen were, shown the new automatic egg washer in use there . In this operation, baskets, suspended from a conveyor track are lowered into and passed through a long narrow washing tank, com ing out clean at the other end. At the third and last Stop Of the day, the farm of Walter Lagerway, Monticello, was visited. Here agair the emphasis was on mechanized equipment to reduce labor, includ ing the direct packing of eggs with the use of plastic flats and fillers. The rapid changes and increase in the poultry industry make a tour of this type of interest to both long established poultrymen and those new in the business. The wide response shown by poultry men and their families to the tour will assure its being repeated again another year.

D E F I C I E N T F E E D IN G [ and LIVESTOCK By Dr. Gustav Bohstedt Emeritus Professor of Animal Husbandry University of Wisconsin ^ U s e H o r s e S e n s e T o B e a t H e a t Dr. Bohstedt • The remark “sweating like a horse” is sometimes made regard ing a hard-working or hard-play ing person during the summer heat. Sweating is one of nature’s safety devices for preventing heat prostration. I t has a cooling ef fect brought on by the evapora tion of moisture from the skin. Horses perspire more than any other domestic animal. Maybe we should take our cue from the horses as to what Is nec essary during h a r d work, es- specially d u r in g s u m m e r heat. Every farm hoy who has handled and brushed or curried horses after a hard workout, remembers those tiny bits of caked perspiration settling on his lips and leaving a distinctly salty taste. That’s just it. Perspiration car ries a lot of salt out of the body. There are about 3 grams of salt in every pint of perspiration, and if a man or horse should lose jive pounds during a workout, there would be a body loss of 0.6 ounce of salt. A foam vovered sw e a ting horse may lose several times this much weight, and sev eral times as much. salt. Here is where the “horse sense” comes into play. Workers * at the Michigan Experiment Sta tion found that work horses would consume more than three times as much salt daily when subjected to hard w o rk in h o t w e ather. ‘T h e ir “horse sense” helped them avoid the dangers of salt deple tion and resulting heat prostra tion. As a farmer using “horse sense” you should take all the necessary precautions to avoid sunstroke or heat exhaustion too. A first step is to take extra salt with meals and salt tablets with each glass of w a ter, or a tablespoon of salt to each gallon of drinking w ater. This will help replace the body salt lost in heavy perspiration. In addition to taking extra salt with meals and water, the N a tional Safety Council recom m ends the following precautions: Avoid too much exposure to direct sunlight and wear a hat out of doors. Avoid over-exertion, particular ly in the early part of a heat wave. Wear light, porous and loose fitting clothing. Increase the use of salt in food, and use salt tablets or salt in the drinking water. Drink plenty of water through out the day, avoid ice water and alcohol. Get plenty of rest and bathe regularly. Question: I have a few bushels of hybrid seed corn left over from last year. It has been treated for smut and is marked poison. Could the dust be blown or soaked off to make it safe enough to feed, say as one-fourth or one-third of the mixture? Answer: I would advise against using this seed in any feed mix ture. Some seed treatments make use of organic mercury com pounds such as ethyl mercury phosphate w h ich are definitely poisonous for livestock. Even w ith quite thorough washing and use in small proportions in a feed mixture there would remain a grave risk in its use. Oct. 10 Final Date For Soil Bank Signatures Farmers in Sullivan County have until October 10 to sign up for the 1959 conservation reserve of the soil bank. Those interested should call at the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation office and bring information to be used in establish ing annual rental payment rates for their farms. Chief facts needed are acreages and yields of the three principal crops for the past two years and acreages for other land use on the farm. The conservation reserve is the only soil bank program available for 1959. Under the program, farm ers retire land from general crops for up to 10 years and devote the reserved acreage to land, water, or wildlife conservation practices. The government makes an annual rent al payment for theland and will also share in the cost of establishing conservation practices. Average rental payment is $15 per acre per year. Maximum pay ment rates will be higher for the most productive farms and lower for others, according, to William Gronwoldt; of Syracuse, State ASC chairman. After maximum rates have been determined for a farm, the farmer will have two weeks to decide on participation, designate land for the reserve, and apply (by Oct. 24) for a contract. New York farmers used ACP cost sharing to establish conservation practices on 2400 farms in 1957.. Participating farms contained 32 per cent of the cropland in .New York State, Mr. Gronwpldt said. that while certain kinds of moths and, beetles prefer pure white uight, insects in general prefer Jlight that is blue or blue - white. Yellow is less attractive to them than the blue or blue - white light and a red light hardly draws them at all. Unfor tunately, there is no light that riei- pels them altogether. Homeowners who want some il lumination on their terraces, pools, or outdoor cooking and picnic areas, without an accompanying swarm of insect, might find it helpful to change the color of the light and its intensity as well. Of course, the brighter -the light, the greater the number of insects that are drawn to it. Mosquitos are the exception; they will swarm around even a 25 watt bulb. Home owners will also find it helpful to avoid bright lights over doorways. In addition, the use of a residual spray on screens and a- round windows will act as a repeV lent. Finally, spraying with an aerosol bomb several times during an evening will clear the air and* make it pleasant for the family who enjoys spending the cool hours af ter sunset outi-of-doors. herd increases, bulls and heifers will be given, not sold, to proven worthy poor farmers and to char itable institutions (hospitals, home for the aged, orphanages, etc.) that operate farms. This long range program should, within a reason able number of years, greatly in crease the supply of quailty beef as well as elevate the standard of liv ing of many Southern Eroupean farmers. It will also aid in expand ing the Angus breed in the world.. A few Angus breders in the Mid4 west have already donated a num ber of registered cattle for the foundation herd. Don C. Hough!- ston of lowana Angus Farm, Dun lap, Iowa, has contributed a bull and has offered his farm as an as sembly point for the herd prior to its Shipment to Italy., Other heifers have been offered from herds in Iowa, South Dakota, and Montana, but a few more are needed to complete the herd. Any one wishing to assist in this pro gram- by giving a registered yeatH ling Angus heifer should notify Mr. Houghston., Tho Rev. Leo Gannon, Harlon, Iowa, has been ap pointed treasurer of the funds needt ed for paying the cost of -transpor tation of the cattle to the Papal Farm, which is 15 miles soutjh. of Rome, Italy. Eggs, Large and Small There will be a large number of small eggs on the market during September and October. And, it is expected, they’ll be a good buy for the homemaker. Small eggs may weigh about % less than large eggs, but ounce for ounce they of fer the same excellent food value. One way to tell for sure that -small eggs are a good buy is to compare their pricG to that of large eggs. If small eggs are sell* ing for at least 15 cents less than large eggs, this makes them an e* conomy item. - Small eggs suit the appetites of very young children or of invalids who wish a small portion. On the other hand, two or three of them poached and served on toast are just the thing for a hearty break fast. Small hard - cooked and stufi. fed eggs make attractive garnishes for salads and cold plates, or may he served as appetizers. Of course, 'small eggs may be used in cooking just as easily as large eggs - it on ly requires more of them. To Till a standard measuring cup takes a- bout four large eggs or -six small ones. Information about the food value of eggs, large or small, is given in Cornell Extension Bulletin 915, “Let’s Eat Eggs.” Single copies are free to New York State residents who write to the Mailing Room, Stone Hall, Cornell University. Ith aca, N. Y. Vitamin Value of Vegetables Vegetables that have lost their looks have lost some of their vita mins, too. Dark green vegetables, when first harvested, are rich in vitamins A and C. If wilting oc curs, they lose their vitamin C and do not regain it even when revived in cold water. On the other hand, vitamin A and minerals, though untouched by the wilting process, are lost ’'through bruising. It pays to handle vegetab les carefully, then, whether harvest ed from your own garden, or pur chased at a roadside stand or from your neighborhood grocer. For highest nutritive value, buy only vegetables that have been Kept cool and clean - that are' firm, crisp, of good color, and free from, decay. Wash them gently and store them in covered containers in the refrig erator. Questions from, readers will be answered in the column or by direct- reply. Please send your questions to Dr. E' ‘‘rr’i c o Salt Inctiivl'-, 33 North La Salle St., Chicago 2, Canned Rice Because of the increasing number of women working outside the home, easy-to-prepare and conven ient-to-serve foods are much sought after these days. It is timely news then, that! another convenience food has just reached the markets and been proved successful - this pre - cooked, fluffs7 which rice in a can. Already, consumers and store keepers have shown much interest in this canned rice as a permanent item on the shelves.^ And it is sig nificant that the sales of the pre - cooked product have In HP1 way in terfered with( gales of other, quick - cooking rices - this means an increase in the domestic con sumption of another/American farm product. Farm Cooperatives Praised By Benson Seertary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson in an address before the American Institute of Coopera tion at University Park, Pa., said farmers must act through their co operative without government help to meet the challenge of economic integration. “The ability of cooperatives to ad just policies, methods operations and services to meet changing needs and conditions may well de termine whether the business of farming will remain free, profitably and under the control of the farm ers themselves.” He said the form bill pa§sScT by Congress was “a long step toward freedom for our farmers.” President Eisenhower sent greet ings to the conference, which is* studying cooperatives’ problems and seeking ways to improve man agement.. Meanwhile the publication of the (19$f> - 56) survey of farmer mart kefuig, farm supply, and related .•Hktev cooperatives showed that the if umber of membership in #iese cooperatives continue to increase, reaching a total of 7,730,710 com pared with 7,603,130 in 1954 - 55, up 1,7 per cent. The number of cooperatives show ed only a small net .decrease of 11 associations with the total drop ping to 9,876 from the 9,887 includ ed in the previous survey. Papal Farm Establishing Registered Angus Herd Breeders of registered Aberdeen - Angus cattle in the United States are providing a foundation breed ing herd for the Papal Farm near Rome, Italy, according to Monslg- nor L. G. Ligutti, executive director of Ithe National Catholic Rural Life Conference of America with headr Quarters in Des Moines, Iowa. The desire to place a fine breed ing herd of beef cattle on_ the Papal Farm occured when Pope Pius XII and Dr. Bonomelli, manager of the farm became concerned over the lack of beef cattle in Italy and Southern Europe. They approached Monsignor Ligutti, seeking to rem edy the situation Wifi the best type of beef cattle and he urged that they obtain the Aberdeen - Angus from the United States- Their plan is to start their Papal Farm beef herd wiif|h at least 14 reg istered Aberdeen - Angus heifers and one bull, hoping that the gen erosity of American breedars will make this number possible.

You can put your electric water heater where it’s most convenient to your hot water use, because it needs only electric and water connections, doesn’t have to be vented to a chimney. That means shorter hot water pipes. Besides the added convenience of hot water quicker, you actually save money on water other wise lost cooling in long pipes, waiting to be used. Easier, more economical installations are just one advantage of an electric water heater.
