C.D. NIVER HEADS NEW FARM BUREAU

Agriculturists of Albany County Organize in Chamber of Commerce at Albany.

Organization of the Albany County Farm Bureau association was perfected at the Chamber of Commerce rooms in Albany, Monday, by the election of officers headed by Charles D. Niver of Selkirk as president. Mr. Niver is the chairman of the board of supervisors and has taken a deep interest in the creation of the bureau. Peter G. Ten Eyck, formerly representative in Congress, has also been very active and he was chosen a member of the executive committee.

The association is composed of farmers and the membership fee is $1.00. The object is to foster all interests, commercial, social and material, having a bearing on agricultures. Through the efforts of Mr. Ten Eyck, Uncle Sam has promised certain aid, and cooperation is expected from the state and the county.

MOTORING IN NEW YORK

By Francis Hugo, Secretary of State

The people in New York State are apt, in these days of the latest boom in motor cars, to look upon this commonwealth as a place which has realized more fully than any other the indispensability of the automobile. We point proudly to the enormous and rapidly increasing number of motor cars registered each year in the state, especially from its most densely populated district, and we remind ourselves of the equally rapid diminishing proportion of horse-drawn vehicles in regular use. Moreover, we compare our registration figures with those of other states and countries, and under the influence of these persuasive numerals, we believe that in New York state alone is the motor car industry recognized as the sole method of locomotion possible in a business-like community.

The round barn, of which there are a good many scattered here and there over the country, costs considerably less from the standpoint of materials, but seems to require an architectural skill that is not always available. Nor does the round barn give a maximum of room for its size, but it lends itself to an arrangement which makes it possible to care for the stock in less time. A further point urged in its favor is that it will resist windstorms better than will structures of the rectangular type.
