Ithaca, Feb. 5.—Although hay, the principal crop of this state, was badly hurt by the unfavorable weather of last spring, the farmers of this state fared better during 1921 than those in most other parts of the country. Ac cording to Ji ohn B. Shepard, of the United States Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, prices of New York products have not dropped as rapidly as the prices of grain in the Middle West, so that in total value of all crops New York ranked fourth, being exceeded only by Texas, California and Illinois. In the production of hay New York was second to California, and in the production of potatoes this state was exceeded by Maine, but in each case the higher prices prevailing here caused this state to lead in the value of the crop. The state was also first in the production of onions and cabbage, second to Wisconsin in the value of dairy products, second to Washington in apples and to Pennsyl vania in buckwheat. The state was also third in beans and pears and fourth in peaches.

At the meeting of the Board of Edu cation held on Monday evening, the members of the Board, together with the superintendent and principals, were served a dinner by the girls of the homemaking department, under the supervision of the teachers, Miss Porter and Miss Clapper. The girls of the department are: Anna Bush, Louise Willett, Elizabeth Purdy, Nina Tears, Paula Windnagle, Mildred Windnagle, Genevieve Harris, Made line Grady, Winifred Wallis, Louise Babcock, Dorothy Squires, Leila Wagar, Louise Thayer, Hazel Coates.

The line-up is as folows: George Barrett and Ervin Goodman, fore- wards ; Guy Porter and Max Orr, guards; Herbert Tyler, center; Linds- ley Lane, Leslie Read and Earl White, substitutes; Frank Swift, coach; Oliver Warner, manager. On Friday evening the team de feated the hitherto invincible Midgets in the preliminary at Cornwell Hall by a score of 38 to 21. Saturday evening the team played a Baptist Sunday school team at Him-1 rod. The final score was 14 to 11 ; . ‘ favor of the H. & M.’s. The Himrod boys are very fast on the floor, and the game was hotly contested. On,. the fact that Lane remained at goal and was left free to shoot the decid ing baskets in the last five minutes saved the day. The Himrod boys showed the need of more coaching for team work, while the H. & M.’s have the best coach available. Tyler made one arm serve as well as an octopus does eight, while Porter only hit the floor once in awhile. All the week following I was pack ing literature, books, etc. Miss Nor- ville had hoped to move the last of November and so had taken down all the pictures in the dining room (cut outs and story pictures all around the wall) and I spent half a day put ting them up again when we gave the fiesta at the old house. There was a very small audience present. One morning I spent teaching Miss Norville’s cook to make muffins, etc. I went to the closing meeting of the North American Women’s Club of which I have often spoken. It has only about 30 members, limiting the number and they are women of Flores—missionaries, wives or teach ers or women active in church work —so we are all very congenial. Did I tell you that they made me treasur er? It means little work so I couldn’t refuse. About 50 were present at the Ward school for the closing meetnig. I sent you a program of the closing fiesta at the Girls’ school. The orches tra was composed of artists from the Colon theatre and the music was a real treat. You know I had been invited to spend the holidays and stay a month with friends in Uruguay where I spent the first few months in this country. I had a pleasant trip over, and was not sea-sick tho the boat tossed so that I had to hold on the bed when dressing in the morning. A storm had come up about 5 o’clock and the river can be nasty some times. Mrs. Van D. and son met me at the boat in his car. Have you read of the fire in the customs house here? It seems that there had been some suspicious work and the govern ment inspectors were trying to get at the bottom of it. They had ordered some records to be placed at their disposal for review when about two nights after, the great big building which occupied an entire block, was totally destroyed. It was the biggest fire in the history of the city, I guess. Of course all the records were des troyed with It, and alas for the public, a good deal of mail, etc. Next day, Sunday, I went to church and it seemed so good to see all the folks again. It seemed like coming home for Christmas—almost. That night I attended the Epworth League meeting when we sang a lot of Christ mas hymns and someone told Christ mas stories.

The marriage of Miss Ida Osgood, daughter of Mrs. Luther Stanton, to Lyle Sutfin, son of D. Sutfin, of Roch ester, took place Monday evening at the home of the bride in Dundee. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo. M. Perkins, pastor of the Methodist church, in the presence of only the immediate friends of the contracting parties. Mr. and Mrs. Sutfin will spend a short time with relatives in Rochester, and upon their return will reside in the suite of rooms in the Murdock block formerly occupied by H. C. & H. B. Harpending. The bride is one of Dundee’s popu lar young ladies and has been for some time employed in the Dundee telephone exchange. The groom is a prosperous young barber and well known to the people of Starkey, where he has always lived. The pre-nuptial events included a linen shower given in honor of the bride by Misses Ruth Andrews and Mildred Hamilton, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Editor of Yates County Chronicle, Penn Yan, N. Y. Dear Sir:—In your paner of Febru ary 1, 1922, there is an article relative to the Geneva-Dresden lake road im provement by the state highway de partment, in which I am characterized as an obstructionist in trying to delay the work on said road, and even stating that I had been to Albany striving to delay and oppose such im provement. I will state that I have always advo cated road improvement, by state, or by state, county and town system; that I have never opposed the im provement of the lake road leading from Geneva toward Dresden; and that when the petition for improve ment was circulated in 1920 I pre sented it before the Board of Ontario county Supervisors at Canandaigua, as the records will prove. I did ask that the Pre-Emption road be recommended for improvement prior to any other road in the town, as it is the main thoroughare throug the town, and such improvement would be for the benefit of the great est number of people, locally inter ested, and not mainly for tourists. The Pre-emption road is now being improved under state, county town system, and the lake road is scheduled on the state highway map as No. 6, and I expect that it will be attended to in that order of construc tion when the state program gets that far along. The sooner that it is im proved the better it will be for the whole town, but no local official will be able to hasten the movements of the state highway committee. Very respectfully yours, D.
