•^'^ • ^ AND LOWVILLE TIMES H. A. PHILLIPS, Publisher. LOWVILLE, N. Y., THUBSDAY, APRIL 13, 1922. VOLUME M. No. £4. 327 STUDENTS ENROLJfD IN FARM COURSES Agriculture Department of Lowville Academy Reviewed by Instructor- Students Obliged to 8how Real In- terest in Work—Much Reference Work. Lowville is the only town in Lewis county\ offering a high school course in vocational agriculture. This course was organized in 1911, under Principal Breeze, who believed the farming in- terests of the community demanded such a course. Since, the time it was started, five teacher's have -been in charge of the work. E. W. Thurston is now teaching at Sodus. N. Y.; A. J. Coakley is engaged in business; frred W. Kingris deceased, Edward sV. Shelp is farming for himself at Amsterdam, and Raymond R. Jansen, the present agricultural instructor,. has held the position since January, 1818. The total class registration, on the basis of year courses, and not count- ing grade pupils instructed, has been 327 for the eleven years the course has been in progress. The individual reg- istration would fall considerably un- der this figure, inasmuch as some pupils took two or more courses at one time during the first few years. A considerable number of those regUter- ed during the .first three -years, until home projects began to be required, were girls. At first the instruction was purely class work, and was organized into term courses, for the most part, following a syllabus. Apple growing, general fruit growing, cereal and for- age crops, potato growing, animal hus- bandry and poultry husbandry were all half year courses, while dairy hus- bandry and farm mechanics and draw- ing covered the entire year. Very lit- tle, if any, practical home project work was carried at this time by the pupils. Much of the school work, however, consisted of field trips and exercises, as grafting, cattle judging, etc. About 1913-1914, home project work began to assume some importance, and by tho next year special project work of a simiple nature was required in connection with the schol work. That this remained quite easy to accom- plish is seen from the fact that girls still continued to take agriculture as late as 1914-15. But in 1915-16 pupils registering were required to decide upon some practical crop or animal project to be taken outside of school, usually on the pupil's home farm, in connection with the school work. This acted to limit the registration to those who were really in earnest in their desire to take agriculture. The in- creased requirements worked no in- justice, however, because beginning this year seven and one-half regents counts, instead of five, as formerly, wore granted for successful completion of a year's work in agriculture. During the last six years this pro- ject requirement has become more im- portant, until at present a pupil in agriculture must be responsible for a home project of a size requiring some really careful planning and execution. -:; It aims 10 give the pupil an opportun- v ity to >u>ply in practice what he %Mtudtee andlearns incjass. H[e works --ject in con^fefo^with his claaa work, srrthen proceeds to carry bis plans into A? execution. While this is done under :{ the supervision of the teacher of agrl- ;-;•;. culture, the boy keeps complete rec- X ords of all the labor, cash expendi- / tures, etc., connected with his project 'X work. When completed, he makes out ;;. a financial summary of the work done. •t The courses now being offered took .,' on substantially their present form In •,'•' 1916. First year agriculture consists :/ of poultry and farm shop; second year V includes soils, fertilizers, and crops; • third year offers dairying, general ani- f xnal husbandry, and fruit growing; v while in fourth year agriculture farm :\• p management and farm engineering are 5 studied. Each course is designed to }'• teach the fundamental and necessary •; practices useful in connection with j farm work, by means of class recita- i, tions, laboratory exercises, and field . trips. The different phases of each ' subject are not offered in logical text- L' book order, but on the contrary must ; be studied at that time of the year ;. when the need for them In connection \ with the project work logically arises, or when materials useful in their study is available. A plan foe study ! is arranged during the summer for : each course, the work being grouped . around the various farm enterprises to : be studied in the course. In this way the school work is tied up closely with both the boys' project work and the farm enterprises impertant in the . community. i For successfully carrying on this ; work in agriculture, a reference library on various agricultural sub- jects is available, also a collection of about 1,000 bulletins completely card indexed. A complete collection of seeds, feeds, fertilizers, fungicldes,- etc, are arranged on display shelves, ; all bottled. The basement contains ; the work benches, tool cabinet, post drill, and forge used In farm shop. : Besides these, a soldering outfit and : harness repair outfit are Included in the farm shop equipment. A large number of charts are available for use in connection with the class work In the various subjects. Special appar- atus, as a farm level and rod, incu- bators, etc., are Included in the equip- ment. Heal results In dollars and cents have been accomplished by the boys taking agriculture. Harold Lasher in 1318 made $51.98 raising a/id fattening, four Duroc-Jersey pigs. Carl Brenon showed a profit of $208.38 on a poultry project in 1919. He managed the home flock of 100 White Leghorn hens and raised about 200 chickens! In 1920 James Boshart's dairy project made $296.54; Ralph Gasser's pigr project netted $82.46, and Robert Bonall made $66.93 on potatoes. This past year Floyd Loson cleared $154.11 with poul- try. Nearly all the projects attempted or begun show good results financially, which tends to encourage the boys to complete the entire agricultural course and also to interest other boys in the work. * Raymond R.

Nip and Tuck Between the Reda and NON-POOLERS OF STATE TO HEEUUmCA APRIL 18 More Than 800 Expected to Attend and Discus* Milk Situation—Claim it Made That Non-Pooled Milk is Sold. A state conference of non-pooling dairymen, at which it is expected more than\ 800 leading non-poolers from as many localities throughout the state will be In attendance, will be held in Utica on Tuesday, April 18. Announcement df the gathering -was made following a meeting of the board of directors <Jf the Ndn-poolers' Dairy- men's League Co-operative Associa- tion, I i , Pillowing the meeting, which, was presided over by William Rhodes, of Little Falls, the president of the or- ganization, Wlllard R. Pratt, attorney for the association, declared Invita- tions were to be sent to all non-pool- ers to send representatives to the con- ference. Several men of state-wide prominence will attend. It is intended; to consider the pres- ent situation in the dairy Industry and take such action as may be nec- essary, for the further protection of the non-poolers and to make plans for expansion of the organization. During the directors meeting thefe were numerous announcements and reports. The members pf the board from the various sections of- the state told of the present situation as re- gards the Bupply and sale of milk, in their locality, and, according to these reports, there are few places where the non-poolers have not found a market for their product. Buffalo reported that 80 per cent of the milk being sold in the city is non-pooled, with only three dealers-handling pooled milk ex- clusively. At Burton, where the Cooperative Association has a new $10,000 station, it is claimed there is more milk.being drown to a Sheffield plant several miles away, by truck, than the poolers from nine communities are bringing to the pooling association plant. Har- lem valley, the\ richest dairying sec- tion in the state, reported all non- pooled milk disposed of. Denial was made of the reports to the effect that several plants of the Sheffield Company were to close down because of lack of milk. Attorney Pratt also announced the Consumers' Dairy Company at North BridgewRter had declared through its agent, WIN Ham H. Jones, it would accept milk from non-polers. L. D.

AGRIOULTlfftAL COURSE INTERESTS COUNTRY BOYS 102 Attend Demonstration Conducted by Raymond R. Jansen at Lowville Academy and Keen Interest Shown. is The rural school visiting day given Friday, April 7th, by the agricultural department of Lowville Academy un- der the direction of Raymond R. Jan- sen, .was a big success. One hundred and two boys from the upper grades of the rural schools for miles around Lowville attended. Some came who attend school three or four miles be- yond Beaver Falls and Croghan; 19 registered from the town of Denmark, three from Harrisburg, and 16 from Lowville, making a total of 88 from Superintendent Elliott's supervisory district. From Martinsburg, in Su- perintendent Johnston's supervisory district, 12 appeared, while from Su-. perlntendent Sealey's district a total of 52 enrolled as follows: Twelve from Croghan, 36 from New Bremen and four from Watson. More would un- doubtedly* have attended from each district if notified, but they could not have been accommodated. The Acad- emy agricultural students looked af- ter the enrollment and helped carry out the many details attendant upon the programme of the day. From 10 to 10:30 o'clock, the boys were shown how to make waxed harness thread for repairing sudden small breaks in harness stitching. This included the proper breaking of the thread, joining the strands and overlapping the ends, twisting and waxing the thread, and threading the needles and twisting back the thread ends. The next forty-five minutes were devoted to milk testing. The boys were shown how to measure out the milk into the test bottles, how to measure and pan the acid, how to mix the acid and milk, the method of operating the Babcock tester, and the proper way to 'read the tests. The large number of boys present nec- essitated seating part of them in a circle around the demonstration table, and having the remainder stand be- hind the row of chairs. •• The forenoon's programme ended with simple soldering, including the proper method of tinning a copper, the use of a flux, and mending a break or hole. Some of the boys tried their hand at the soldering and succeeded very well. In the. afternoon a picture of the group was taken. Then lantern, slides on the production of clean milk were shown. This was followed by practice In tying common knots and hitches and In splicing ropre. The shOrt splice was explained and carried out by most of those present^ but due to the short time available HCvne could not finish. The number of boys for the afternoon session was augmented, by several country pupils tram* the 'Lowville grades, so all the worVhftd to bV in the assembly ro Before the boys Principal Davis lk ii talk, advising- them, ta WILLIAM J.

Jefferson county had 46 Indictments returned by grand Juries within its borders during 1921 for violations of the state prohibition laws, according to the first annual report of the Anti- Saloon League on the enforcement of the state and national prohibition la#». Of these indictments^ five^were dismissed, one of tne, offenders wax acquitted, no cases are pending, there were 39 convictions, with three BUS* pended sentences, and the total amount collected in fines was $4,900. St. Lawrence county, with only a slightly larger population, had 65 in- dictments-for violations of the liquor laws returned last year, and eleven oC these Indictments were dismissed. None of the offenders caught In St. Lawrence county was acquitted; five cases are still pending in that county. There were the same number of con- victions as for Jefferson county, 39; and three received suspended sen- tences. The amount of fines collected was $5,975. Lewis county had 27 liquor law in- dictments during the year. A com- plete clean up of these cases, so far as convictions went, was made, though nine of the sentences imposed were suspended. The fines collected totaled $3,330. Oswego $ county, though having fewer 'residents than either Jefferson or St. Lawrence, proved a rich field for the enforcers of the law, 61 in- dictments being handed down in this county. None of these cases was dis- missed, only one resulted in acquittal. 31 are still pending. There were 29 convictions, and five received sen- tences. Oswego collected only $3,700 in fines for the year.

The village of Webster had an auc- tion in connection with their Golden Rule sale on Monday and this is what a correspondent says of it: Farmers and dealers from all corners of the town attended this afternoon's Golden Rule day auction to the number of more, ^han five hundred. Although every description of farming imple- ments and household goods were of- fered for sale, automobiles and trucks featured the bidding, which was un- usually irvely under Auctioneer Myron Smith's hammer: Exceptionally good prices were paid for the gas cars. The bright, sunny weather brought nearly a hundred buyers from Roches- ter, to which Is largely attributed the spirited bidding. The sales have be- come popular and the Webster-Ad Club, under whose auspices the auc- tions are held 1 every other Monday, has grown so rapidly since Its origination that its officers say there is no doubt about its success and benefit to every merchant in town. 12.—Evidence in the ng and non-pooling this state -wlfl^be d s: by 'J\»dge> Cooper in 4 federal Court here Ap>11 21.

Secretary Clark reported the regis- trations of cheese for the week as 1,631 boxes of large twins and 18 boxes of singles, as compared with 2,171 boxes on a corrupondlng date In 1821, with the price ranging from 20 to 28 cents, the majority of offerings going at the lower figure. The quotations of the week showed a lower tendency, the price on the New Xork market being 18 cents, a drop of two cents, and the Plymouth at 16He, or a drop of nearly three cents. The price commit- tee reported a price on*the local board for the week at a fiat 16 cents, or a reduction of 1% cents from the prev- ious week's ruling. The present production is large for this season, considering the lateness of a number of the factories In open- ing for the season, 29 factories being represented in the sales this week, as compared with 13 the previous weekr and 38 factories on a corresponding date in 1921. There Is a big shortage of hay and a large amount of grain Is being fed at this time. ' MILK IN DENMARK. Pooler and Non-Pooler Plants Are .

At Deer River a factory Is conducted for handling pooled milk. The milk station at Deer River handles the non-pooled milk from Denmark and the eastern part of the- town. The non-pooled milk-from the central and western part of the town is bought by the Brown & Bailey Con- densed Milk Company at Copenhagen. They handle quite a quantity of milk and the amount has recently been augmented by the addition of sixteen new patrons, several of which were former poolers. .The pooled milk from this section is belqg hauled to the pooling plant at Carthage. 15,000 Gallon Tank Turned Over by Froit. A large steel storage tank with ca- pacity of 15,000 gallons or more of gasoline, which was installed by the St. Lawrence' Transmission Co. for their new garage on Depot street, Potsdam, turned practically over Fri- day as the result of water and frost pressure from beneath. The tank had been dropped Into the excavation last fall. This spring frost pressure and water in the excavation began to raise the tank. The outlet pump pipe In the top snapped off and when It let go the ponderous tank turned partly over, fortunately there was only about 1,200 gallons of gas In It at the time and not all of this was lost before a gang of men could get the tank turned around again.

If the law cannot be enforced It ought to be repealed. The surest way lo\ destroy respect for government is to permit men cynically and brazen- ly to flout the statutes. When citizens, not by hundreds, but by hundreds of thousands, habitually violate a law, either the law is a wrong law or its violation Is sorry evidence of the power of a great nation to uphold its dignity. It Is well known alike to wets and drys that liquor is not only retailed but wholesaled In the United States every day. Bootleggers come and go. taking orders and delivering their wares In every city In the ceuntny. A man who wants a drink can get it If he has the price. If he want to stock a cellar and can afford it. It can be done. Cargoes of liquor are brought In from Cuba, from Nassau, even from Bcotland. Paragraphers refer to the Canadian border as \the far-flung bot- tle line.\ So little do people seem to understand that the Volstead act is the law of the land that Jokes about Its violation are \sure flre\ with audi- ences In every theatre In the coun- try. The administration has taken the only possible course. The President has evidently made up his mind to find out If the law oan be enforced and If it is possible to enforce It . He has enlisted every government agency In the campaign he means to Enforcement officers will be TUfclN.
