PAC IE TEN THE, CAZENOVIA REPUBLICAN, CAZENOVIA, N. Y. F A R M THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1941 PAGE Farm Importance Cog In National Defense Setup Research and education have made enormous contributions in improving the income from agriculture, but take it from Dr. Arthur K. Getman, a State agricultural expert — \farming ie rarely a means of making people rich.\ Because of the present* world con ditions, Dr. Getman says food is going to be as important for defense as airplanes and gunpowder., His ad vice to country youth is to \stick to an agricultural career \ Dr. Getman is chief of the State Education department's Agricultural Education BureaU. He has had 30 years of experience in guiding the activities of farm youth desiring prep aration for an agricultural career. Dr. Getman says \intelligent man power properly directed is the back bone of American progress.\ \The future depends not only upon our ability t5 organize and harness machine technology, but likewise up on our ability to organize.man pow er,\ he said. \In a democracy our greatest asset in developing that power is free education.\ Training Necessary In occupations requiring skill and knowledge, technical training is very important, according to Dr. Getman, in agriculture, he said, such \tech nical training is very important, ac cording to Dr. Getman. In agrciul- ture, he said, such technical training is much more essential today than it has been in the past. \Commercializing and mechanizing agriculture have made specialized ability an important requirement,\ he said. \A farm youth in choosing a career should not overlook the fact that wliile his farm experience is a valuable training for any occupation, it is especially valuable for farming.\ He said youths who are not born in the country have to work hard to acquire the skill that farm boys pos sess \I seems wise for youth who like farming to devote a part of their ef forts to utilizing the farm as a way of life for themselves and their fam ilies,\ Dr. Getman says, \instead of straining and striving with every ounce of energy to gain wealth by farming.\ The idea of farming as a means of making a living and of developing a happy way of life, is not new, he added. He said those two points of view \need to be developed and sold.\ He said research and education have contributed toward \dignifying\ farm life and in developing practical ways of making it attractive to am bitious youths. Dr. Getman's advice to young men undecided regarding their future — whether to go into industry to offset the shortage of trained man power, ; or to go into the agricultural, field— ]Woods is this: , \If you have a reasonably good ca- , reer at present, it is my best judg ment that you had better stick to it. If our experience in World War 1 is 1 dependable, food and fibre will bp determining factors in the struggle\ Triplet Calves A purebred Jersey cow owned by | Lewis Wilson of Truxton has given birth to triplet calves. They are heifers and identical. The newcom ers are attracting much attention and admiration. Mr. Wilson intends to raise them. Every Community Has Its Leaders • With national defense and the .em phasis on leadership today,- every rural community may find more po tential leaders than have heretofore been discovered, or used, according to Professor Dwight Sanderson of the New York state college of agricul ture. \Many seemingly ordinary persons become effective leaders when they are aroused enough to believe that action is needed,\ he says'. \Leader ship is not an innate trait of certain individuals, but arises from 'emotion al motivation for action to meet a strongly-felt need.' Many persons avoid the ?esponsi- bilities\ of leadership because 'they fear the criticism of others and a lack of support, Dr. Sanderson points out. To 'enlist competent leadership, his recommendation is that members of any group must be loyal to their chosen leaders. He recommends fur ther: \Give everyone a job. Encourage a division of leadership to produce more leaders; also have faith in the ability of others. \Education and training can help to produce leaders, but only a real desire and willingness to serve the common welfare can motivate one who is to be an effective leader. \Whether in periods of national defense or in ordinary times, the will ingness to take positions of leader ship is a concrete test of real patrio tism.\ Madison County Farm Bureau News W.

Big Refrigerator Locker Plant at Norwich Norwich will soon have the largest refrigerator' - locker plant in New York State. It is expected that it will be ready the latter part of July and will be located in a specially built place on South Broad street. The plant will have a capacity of 500 lockers, each capable of storing 250 to 300 pounds of foodstuffs. Farmers may kill a beef or pork in the win ter and keep it, frozen in their lock ers until summer. Fresh fruits and vegetables gathered this summer will be kept fresh and frozen all next winter for use at any time. This will save much canning during the hot season.

State Puts Out Many Trees Tree distribution by the state Con servation Department totaled 28,- 555,956 young forest trees during 1940, an increase over the previous year of slightly more than four mil lion trees. The bulk of the increase, Conser vation Department officials said was due to the' activities of the Federal Agricultural Conservation program whereby farm land owners were re imbursed by the federal government for planting trees on the basis of $7.50 per acre up to a limit of four acres per farm. The number of trees distributed for private land planting was 11,156,- 870, an\ increase of 3,353,270 trees over 1939. Of this total, 1,777,050 trees were planted by members of 4-H clubs and Young Farmers Clubs throughout the state. Other agencies such as service organizations and fish and game clubs also participated in state-wide plantings. Negroes from Florida Pick Madison County Peas The. spirit of the old South has moved north this summer as 100 Ne groes camp in shacks near Pine and work in the pea fields of Madison County. They are all working for Grove Hinman, the lar gest pea and bean grower in the county. The Negroes came from the vicin ity of West Palm Beach and Belle (ilade Florida in tv\<> open trucks When hay heats to 150 degrees it is entering the danger zone. When it gets to 180 degrees it is tJme to call for the fire chief. Ask for stand by service when it gets tb 190 de grees it is time to remove the hay. It takes years like this to show up the difference between good and poor management of a field or farm. Don't be envious of the other fellow but look for the difference on your own farm between good and poor fields. The drought this summer has shown up some excellent farming, it isn't all the soil condition that has caused the variation in crops. A very interesting experiment was performed at the State School farm last spring on mustard control. Aero syanamid was dusted in a field of oats when the mustard was in the four leaf stage. No effort was made to drive the duster in a straight line and since then everyone has asked I what happened to the field. The oats which were dusted are much darker green, taller and free of mustard. Lightning rods have an efficiency of 97% if properly constructed and installed, states the National Board of Fire Underwriters in its 75th An niversary bulletin. Inspection of rodded buildings which have been struck by lightning generally reveal one or more defects such as lack of grounding to*,, per manent moisture; insufficient number jof points, particularly at chimneys, cupolas, cables and other elevations; points and connections not mechan ically or electrically secure; failure to connect downspouts, door tracks $100,000 Hop Farm Above Bridgewater (Brookfleld Courier) Oneida county, once the leader in the hop-growing industry of the United States, has been selected fcr a new sioo.ooo development in that field, Btarting recently on a farm in Bridgewater. Alfred Baer, New York, whose family have been hoD importers from Germany and Czechoslovakia for generations, has just purchased the Peter Janicki farm on Route 8, a mile north of Bridgewater, for the development. Between 80 and 90 of the farm's 113 acres will be devoted to hops the first year, it was ahnounced by Earl Hansen, superintendent, who came there by airplane two weeks ago from the farms of Lloyd L. Hughes, Inc., Yaldma, Wash., where he is superintendent of development After inspecting farms through out Central New York, Hansen de cided that the area around Bridge- water and Walerville were best suit ed to h6ps. He will devote the Bridgewater farm to a new hybrid type of hop developed in the West, known as the Saazer seedless hop, which, he said, compares favorably with the choicest Saaz hop of Europe. In connection with the farm just obtained, Hansen said he would in stall modern methods of curing hops. He will have constructed a modern kiln, similar to those used in the West, and will use oil burners for heat, with a forced draft system for drying. The apparatus also will include the reverse recirculation air system, with heat control to insure uniformity in the curing process. An electric bailer will be used. At the start between 15 and 20 men will be employed, preparing poles on which the hops are tb be grown and that number will be in creased to about 40 this summer, Hansen said. Eventually about 50 ! men will be employed regularly. j The actual building program will; Labor Saving Devices Being Used by New York^State Farmers to Meet Cost And Scarcity of Labor, Reports Show Farmers of New York are using labor-saving devices and methods to meet the scarcity and cost of, farm labor, according to reports of the extension service of the College of Agriculture. Here Is what some of them are doing: Fred Nesbitt of Albion uses a \doodle-bug\ tractor, one made over from a car, for such jobs as hauling the spray rig. He says it is handy be cause of its wide range of speeds. Mark Sanford of Little Genesee gets traction in the hay field by us ing a two-wheeled rubber-tired wa gon with the front end resting on the back of the tractor. This rig is also faster and more easily operated than a four-wheeled outfit. C. M. Edwards of Port Byron re ports that he can draw a single bot tom plow, an eight-foot double disk, or a three-section harrow with his made over car. He mentions that a good made-over tractor should have transmissions for range of speeds and power, widened wheels for two- row cultivation, and at least 19-inch tires iu get traction. • Some farmers are interested only in a source of belt ppwer. Fred Ea ton of Orleans county has rigged up an old engine mounted on runners, which is easily moved from place to place. William Avery of King Ferry likes to have both a power unit and a dooble-bug. He uses the doodle-bug for all sorts of field and road work, and has an engine mounted on a frame for buzzing wood. Some poultrymen use a hand or power-operated elevator to get feed to second or third floors.

One man can turn on the water at the ground floor and shut it off\ when clear water flows from all overflows. Thus a single operation changes the water for birds on all floors. Frank BUrnham of Little York has an egg-holding room directly below his hen house and thus does not have to carry the eggs more than a few steps. When he gets ready to clean eggs, he uses an emory cloth mounted on a pulley which is operat ed by an electric motor. Dairymen are putting rubber tires on manure spreaders, feed carts, mowing machines and wagons. They speed the operations and lighten the work. Some use a feed cart and en silage cart that are large enough to hold a full day's feeding. Many plan to start haying earlier to lengthen the haying season, and one farmer reported he uses the family car on the hay rope. His wife or daughter can operate the car. Another recom mendation is to get a good cow dog to save human steps. Consider the Homemaker In marly farm homes, too, more- dependence Is being placed on elec trical devices, such as the washing machine, electric iron and vacuum cleaner, to help ease drudgery and to add to the family's comfort Throughout the state county agents, Jn cooperation with the ex tension service of the New \York State College of Agriculture, are get ting labor-saving id6as and methods directly from farmers, and in turn they pass them on to farmers in oth er sections.

No thing meets these requirements bet ter than concrete, farm engineers say.
