We have long felt that deer and bear should be among the most attractive crops»produced in these mountainous areas, and that such refuges would serve to increase the opportunities of harvesting this game by increasing the available breeding stock. About two years ago the Federal Government decided to embark upon a Federal Resettlement I project, the purpose of which was to m 9 ve'stranded populations to better economic locations, to retire submar ginal farm land, and to find the most productive uses of this farm and look ing over a period of years. Thanks to the activity of the State Conserva- .ttpn Department, the Federal Crovern- ment W8W convinced of the desirabili ty of locating a number of these areas in New York state.

While it is of course impossible for the development work to be complet ed with the funds at hand, they should be able to make an excellent start. Following completion ^ot that portion of the developmental work for which Federal funds are available, it is expected that the area will be turn ed over to the Conservation Depart ment, Division of Fish and Game, for administration and further develop ment primarily as a big game area with no connection whatsoevfr with any park, state or national. Develop ment work at present being done un der the direction of the Federal Re settlement Administration is being handled locally by Hamilton V.

Transportation of milk in motor trucks hurt sections in New York served by railroads and opened up areas in Pennsylvania which were inaccessible to the metropolitan mar ket by rail. Shorter truck huals cut into the longer distance rail transpor tation to the detriment of upstate New York farmers. “Unless we have state control with cooperation between the states of the milk shed, and the Federal Govern- t ment, to guarantee fair returns to all 'milk producers and bring about the orderly marketing of milk, I see no reason why this loss of market to [New York dairymen should not con tinue.” Pennsylvania in 1927 shipped 3,- 690,756 cans of milk to the metro politan market, or 10.5 percent of the total market requirements. Last year Pennsylvania shipped 6,004,09-2 cans, or 18.8 percent of the total needs. New Jersey likewise jumped from 2,551,353 cans in 1927 to 3,757,332 last year, an increase from 7.2 per cent to 11.7 percent. Othe|* states showed corresponding increases. Statistics on cream receipts, how ever, were slightly mor.e encouraging to New Y^oric farmers.
