“AG” COLLEGE SEEKS
HISTORICAL DATA 

Announcement of a $10 prize to any Albany county boy or girl (or grownup), comes from the county Farm Bureau agent, L. D. Kelsey. The prize will be paid for the best list of historical material in any farm house in the country. 

The Department of Agriculture Economics and Farm Management of the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, wants material to use in writing an agricultural history of Albany county—its people, its farms, crops, prices, agricultural industries and institutions. Much of this material is now lost, or is about to be lost, in old attics and old farm houses, and can be saved. James E. Boyle, of that department, believes the boys and girls can dig up a lot of this valuable information. He wants lists of old newspapers, old books, old account books, toll books, records, old diaries, letters, etc. 

Old implements such as spinning wheels, flax wheels, hand mills for meal, farmers’ tools, silk machinery, etc., hidden away under some farm house roof or in some barn loft, should be noted on your list; in fact, include anything else that would throw light on the life and activities of our earlier settlers. 

Get busy, young folks; and send in your list by May 30th to Mr. Kelsey, Room 93, County Court House, Albany. Someone is going to get that ten dollars.
