Thousands of barrels of luscious fruit in the Hudson Rivet Valley and elsewhere will, he says, rot in the orchards, or be thrown in with \wind falls\ and sent to the cider mills. The scarcity of labor responsible for this year’s very discouraging conditions in the apple Industry Is, he says one of tlie indirect results of prohibition. In explaining the connection of pro hibition with the apple situation, Mr. Stockbridge state : “I t first must be emphasized that the apple pickers of New York are not in tho class of labor which we might term as staple—that is, apple picking is not a standard or permanent occupa tion. Apple pickers are mostly mem bers of an army of thousands of men and women who live in New York and other large cities and work at occupa tions in which there is less activity in summer months, or which are more ex hausting in hot weather than in the fall and winter. They include hun dreds of cooks, waiters, laundry work ers and others. “These men and women long ago solved the problem of making, ends meet,’ during tho summer months. They found that they could leave the city in the early summer for the berry fields of Ulster. Greene, Dutchess and Columbia Counties and And employ ment which would not only give them outdoor country air and good food but also healthful work in the fields, and took their families w ith them—-in some instances, six or seven or more child ren a ll of whom could at least earn their board. “A t the end of the berry season the berry pickers became recruits for the hop fields of the Mohawk Valley, where hundreds of thousands of pounds were raised for tho breweries. Then after a few weeks in the hop sections, these men and women and children would work back townrd the city, concluding their outdoor summer work in the ap ple orchards of the Hudson Valley where they picked and packed the crop. Tho Volstead Times “B u t this circuit of summer em ployment of city residents under healthful and profitable conditions was broken last year when the Volstead Act became effective and brought demoralization to the hop industry The berry nrnl apple pickers appreci ated that they could find 110 employ ment to’ iill In the lull between tho berry and apple seasons and, as a con sequence, they either did not leave New Y'ork at all or went only for tlioj duration of the berry season They | hardly could afford to return to New | York, wait ft couple of months and 1 then go up to the npple counties. For,' that reason, nnd also because of the alarming shortnge of general farm labor. the npplo crop will suffer heavily. The result w ill be a scarcity of fancy, or table. New York State apples, with n consequent increase in prices.\ Consumers to Suffer M r. Stockbridge emphasized, how ever, that the apple grower will suf fer less than the consumer, for tbe reason that the crop can be used for cider \The apple grower’s income will be cut, of course,\ he said, \but his fruit will not be a total loss.

Crop of Hay Farmers May Thin Out Herds The rain that fell Wednesday in Cayuga County was -a great boon to farmers who have been gloomily scanning parched, fields, but of course, it came to late to bring cheer as regards the hay situation. The light crop in the county, due to the dry spring, may mean a thinning out of herds in the fall, for several farmers have been heard to declare that it will be cheaper to soil what hay they may have than to try to winter cattle with the cost of fodder soaring. Hay will be scarce and high, the farmers are convinced, and owners of herds are dejected. I f many cows are sold in the fall it will mean a curtailment of the county’s milk output From the present aspects it is possible that the failure of the hay crop means a bard blow for the dairy industry. While the timothy and clover growers have met with disappointment, the alfalfa growers are crowing, so to speak, for the first crop was ex ceptionally heavy. Thus there is some balm, but not quite enough to \go around the county. SAYS COUNTRY FACES GREATEST FOOD SHORTAGE IN ITS HISTORY Officials of the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca expressed great satisfaction over tbe success of the first annual farmers’ field days at Cor nell, which came to a close last Fri day afternoon. While the winter farmers’ week for over a decade has been a popular feature of -the college, the summer meeting was a brand-new venture and no one could say how it would go. An official of the college is quoted as follows: Today there is no rl.oubt that tbe people of the state appreciate tbe op portunity offered to see the college when the farms and campus are nt their best. The attendance is suf ficient indication of this. The highest figure which the college had set in its planning was 5,000 but on Thursday, the biggest day, tho attend,nnce reached this figure, and for the three days the total was around 7,000. Indeed, the state troopers who were on hand to help manage the traffic and crowds set the figure at 10,000 but the college of ficials prefer to be conservative and put it .at 7;000. The benevolent weather man is entitled, to some of the credit for the big attendance.\ The demonstrations proved the big attraction and of these the tractor demonstration easily stood first in point of Interest and popularity. Some dozen different makers of the new iron farm horses had, their ma chines in operation and the visitors watched with keen interest as they were put through their paces. Glista Ernestine, the college’s record break ing cow, _was also the center of ad miring crowds. Many visitors spoke of the excellent provision which had been made for en tertaining the children. One woman said she had no id,ea that such elabor ate provision would, be made. I f she had she would have brought her little brood, while as it was she had left them at home. Althought it was a disappointment that Seth J. Lowell, master of the Na tional Grange, was unable to speak as planned, his place was ad,mirably filled, judging from the comments heard, b y -S. L. Strivings, president of the State Federation of Farm Bu reaus. Ho told his hearers that the country faces this year the greatest food shortage in its history, since it took GOO millions of bushels of wheat to feed the United States alone last year and, this year there are only 500 milliqns of bushels standing or In the graneries. Other addresses were given by Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, who has just retired as president of Cornell, anc| Professor Samuel P. Orth of the De partment of Political Science of the same institution. The community singing in the sta dium and the auto tours about the farms and campus are tw?o other feat ures worthy of special note. \NO DANGER COUNTRY WILL STARVE” Chicago, July 8.—Marked improve ment in the principal food crops of the Middle West has ben reported in the last few w'eeks, in contrast to unfavor able prospects earlier in the season which gave rise to some alarm. \There is no danger that the country will starve this year,” is the comment that J. R. Howard, president of the Amer ican Farm Bureau Federation, made 011 reviewing the situation. President Howard reported that the corn prospect was now very fair and that wheat was really better. Corn production promised to be a little un der normal, but it was well cultivated and clean and would turn out well with good weather in July and August. While the wheat crop would not be normal, the crop condition was very fair As against a lighter acreage there was a heavy carry over. Mr. Howard estimated that 30 per cent. o£ last year's wheat remained on Kansas farms today. In Kansas and Oklaho ma a better wheat crop than last year is expected. Oats were very short and showed no improvement , Mr. Howard added. Crops are reported late. North Dakota sends word of better crop conditions than for several years. Reports from various states in the productiug sections follows: “Waacs” in Kansas Concordia, Kan., July S.— Shortnge of manpower in the harvest fields has prompted the organization of a peace time counterpart of the famous war time “Waacs ” The peace time nomen clature. however, is \Women’s Auxil iary Agricultural Crops.” During the war tbe famous British women’s order was “Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.’’ “It is the only w a y to meet the cris is,\ said one of the women leaders in the movement. “There is much work that we can do and the work has to be done. M a le applicants for work are scarce and want too much money.” The harvest “Waacs” are working in the harvest fields by the score, driving \headers” and binders, shocking wheat, raking hay and frequently doing more strenuous labor. <s><j><S><S> <S><$><^<5><j> <S><J><t><S><5 >& GRANGERS IN FIVE COUNTIES AI LAKE A regular meeting of Auburn Orange was held in thi-ir grange rw a > lV-s- day.

D., July S.— Crop condi tions in North Dakota are better than they have been for several years. Small grains in the Red River Valley are reported in excellent condition, sufficient rains falling in that section to reduce materially the grasshopper menace. In tho western part of the state small grains also are in good condition, but the rainfall there has been light and farmers are apprehen sive on account of the grasshoppers.
