Y., THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1933 Sirs Elizabeth RoUnWtt Copies Five Cents l6ctS3 ,, ,, Milk m Means To North The Watertown Times of Monday evening printed the following con- cerning the Pitcher ..iiik bill. State regulation of i,cw Yori: state's $200,000,000 milk industry should result in an increase in money paid to farmers of over $12,500,000 per year, according to what dairy ex- perts in this ssotion today called con- servative estimates. To return this much money to farmers through the elimination of destructive competition between dealers, it was said that the average increase per hundred pounds of fluid (milk would have to be 25 cents. This amount represents less than one cent per quart when milk is sold retail to the consumer. It was said by Earl Laidlaw, of Gouverneur, chairman of the North- ern Federation of Chambers .'\f Com- merce dairy committee, and Clarenco A. Brown, of this city, president of the New York state Distributors' as- sociation, thai the increase for the month of May should be regulated to add about 25 cents a hundred to the farmers' net return. Mr. Laidlaw figured the probable increase in Northern New York for a year on the basis of 25 cents per hundred. His compilation is: County Increase St. Lawrence $ 1,250,000 Jefferson 927,500 Lewis , 500.000 Franklin 437,500 Total $3,115 : 000 On the 25-cent per hundred basis the increase for the entire state would be, conservatively estimated, about $12,500,000. For this tabulation it was esti- mated that there are about 250,000 milch cows in Northern New York. St. Lawrence county has about 100,- 000 of them; Jefferson, 75,000; Lewis, 40,000 and Franklin, 35,000. It was estimated that the average yearly production for each cow is about 5,- 00O pounds. Both Mr. Laidlaw and Mr. Brown agreed that if the state milk control board functions properly, the in- creased revenue to dairymen in the state should be about 25 cents per hundred in May. Mr. Brown feels that the price will increase as the months go on. \Eight weeks from today,\ he said,; \•dairymen will reach the peak of production for this year. Milk pro- duction will increase from now on. After that time production will be- come consistently lower. For this reason careful regulation of the price by the state board is of the utmost importance to farmers.\ Dairy leaders believe that the finai enactment to establish the state milk control board will veritably pavo '.he way for renewed prosperity in Nor- thern New York and New York state generally. They say that it is an acknowledged economic fait ':hat when the purchasing power of the farmer is returned, not only in this ? +r,^.,. v,\\- ;_, \fr n United States a? a whole, the resumption of normal business relations can be continued. Dairy experts are inclined to be- lieve that the farmers' increased pur- chasing power will serve in some measure to stabilize commodity mar- kets. One producer said today that the proper regulation of the state control iboard will serve to practical- ly reorganize business practices in the milk industry and return milk competition to a sound economic foot- ing. •The practice of thinking twice be- fore you skeak, frequently allows the other fellow to do all the talking. .. The \Cup and Saucer House\ ... 0?W Building activities at the Rogers house, corner of Broadway and (Real streets, recently sold by Attorney Caruthers Ewing, of New York, to Mr. and Mrs. J. Reginald Newton, also of that -city, recalls the fact that the famous \Cup and Saucer House\ was located on this lot. It was built by Frenchmen, who settled in this sec- tion, as a home for their chief— Napoleon. He was unable to get away from St. Helena, so the house was never used for the purpose for which it iwas intended. It was oc- cupied by members of the Peugnet family for several years, and was finally destroyed by fire. The repairs to the Rogers house are in charge of A. Webster & Son, who will do the carpenter work. Ainsworth & Ryder have the contract for the plumbing. The First Gris Mill At The Cape 0—• Under the heading \Reminders\ the Watertown Times of last Thurs- day, printed the following: When the township of Cape Vin- cent was formed in April, 1849, it just naturally took its name from the principal village within its borders, Cape Vincent. Cape Vincent was former from Lyme and Lyme was former from Brownville in 1818. The first town meeting was. held at the hotel of Jacob Beringer and at that meeting Frederick A. Folger was elected supervisor. But Cape Vin^ cent had a; grist mill as early as 1803, when R. M. Esselstyn made a contract with Mr. LeRay for a mill site and 25 acresof land, the site to be on Kent Creek. The price for the land was to lbe$100. TheEsselstyn brothers with Henry Ainsworth were the early merchants. Mr. Esselstyn used to tell of going with 'a wagon as fas as Hudson to get goods. Some- times his wife u!sed to travel with him on the wagon when he made the trips. He has also told how he had carried considecable sums of money in a bag, the bag being under the straw 'in the bottom of the wagon. At night he would throw the harness from the team on the straw as if nothing of value \was there and leave it in perfect confidence it w<ftild be there in the morning. On one of these trips to the Hudson river he rode on Pulton's first steamboat, the Clermont, and marveled that the ship could make four miles an hour go- Li£ against ihe wind. The villaga of Cape Vincent was named from La- Ray's son, Vincent LeRay. Ckaumont Stope A. M. Phillips Is for Oawega Seawall To Marry In June The Adams-Duford company, of Chaumont, has received a contract for 55,000 tons of large stones and blocks from the L. A. Wells Con- struction company of Cleveland, O., for use in building the huge seiwall outside the breakwater at Oswego. The contract is expected to employ from 30 to 40 men all summer. Work of building a new dock by the Adams-Duford company in Chau- mont has been started; It will be used for loading atone onto -barges. The barges will take the stone to Oswego. The stone will ibe taken from the quarry near the 'Crescent Yacht club property. Two barges will be loaded at once. Their capacity will be 600 tons. Six barges will be used in transporting the stone. The plans call for 'a seawall about 2,200 feet in length, it was said. The east and west breakwaters are practically completed. Work will be started on the seawall as soon as the stone reaches Oswego.
