ORANGE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

Notes for week ending Oct. 29th.
A carload of certified seed potatoes
was loaded on Monday and Tuesday
and shipped on Wednesday by the
growers in Chelsea. This is the first
car of seed potatoes ever grown OF
shipped from Chelsea. The success
of the venture this year ought to
encourage others to take up the idea
The growers this year, L H Bacon, R
H Bacon and H w Burbank and Sons,
are planning to increase their acre
age next season, and are already at
tempting to locate better seed for
next years crop.
The County Agent would be very
glad to talk with any farmers in this
section who might be interested in
growing certified seed potatoes in
the season of 1922.
Through the publicity which the
Central Orange County Jersey Cattle
Club has gained by the consignment
sales of the last two years, this sec
tion of the county is getting a name
for being the home of high class
Jersey stock. Within the last week
a breeder from Peacham, VT. was
brought here by Mr. H Austin of
Cabot, who has bought heavily at
both the consignment sales, and as
result of his visit, sixteen head of
Jerseys were taken to Peacham. An
other call for ten head of good Jer-
sey cows was received at the Farm
Bureau office, and was passed on to
the Jersey Club.
The digging operations of the
certified seed potato crop at Ran
dolph Center are nearing completion.
The yield is slightly above the
average of previous years. A A Gil
man and Son have harvested over
1920 bushels by weight from four
acres.
The list of winners of the Boys
and Girls Club exhibits at the State
Fair contains fourteen individual
awards to the Club members in
Orange County, and one team award
totaling $4,000 in prizes. While this
amount is very good, it represents
only a small part of what might
come to the county if Boys and Girls
Club work could get county wide
leadership.
On Friday evening of the coming
week, the Chelsea N. f. NJ. 2. A. local
will meet at the Farm Bureau office
for its annual meeting
The latter part of the week the
County Agent will be absent from the
county, taking a part Of his annual
