A maize dwarf mosaic virus outbreak has been found in nine New York counties including Allegany and Onondaga. Professor Boothroyd of Cornell notes the disease, first seen in Ohio four years ago, affects field and sweet corn and is carried by several aphid species. Researchers test New York hybrids to gauge resistance, while weather and grasses influence spread.

At a July 31 meeting in Lodi, led by David Powell and Stanley A. Wagner, members endorsed a joint Farm Bureau Cooperative Extension tractor operator's school for farm and non farm youths to start in 1969, with an exam and completion certification. They urged immediate efforts by state and national Farm Bureau to secure stronger farm prices through organized bargaining. The proposals await Seneca County Farm Bureau board review on Aug 8 and county vote in fall.
