ProteCtive 1 Tariff I on ‘ Beans Seems Assured 1’

ICHIGAN DELEGATES representing
the .farmers’ interests arrived in the Na-
tional- capitol last week-end and are actively
and successfully at work presenting to the high
punters of the nation the side of the producers.

The occasion is especially opportune, inasmuch .

as the great Industrial Conference or Round
Table, called by the president, is now in ses-
sion; also the Congressional Ways and Means
Committee, headed by Congressman Joseph
Fordney, of Michigan, is holding the famous

hearing On a bean tariif, which already has

created a young panic among the bears of .the
bean market. .

Word arrived at the offices of Michigan Bus-
iness Farming this week that the proposed tars
iii to keep the cheap oriental beans out of com~
petition with the home-grown beans, has been

favorably considered by the Ways and Means

Committee of the House of Representatives in
Washington. Considerable opposition had been
suspected from the Democratic minority mem-
bers of the committee, but no such opposition
materialized during the hearing on the bean
question. Congressman Fordney publicly an-
nounced his support of the policy of protect-
ing home-grown beans against the cheap, coolie
labOr of fereign countries. He stated for pub-
lication that he felt it was necessary to protect
not only beans, but also Sugar and other pro-
ducts grown on the farm in this country,
against the cheap foreign competition which
would drive many American farmers out of
business if present tendencies continued. Mr.
Fordney added a statement that ninety per
cent or more of the cost of growing or manu-
facturing commodities in the United States is
a labor cost and that it must be protected.

Representatives of the press, members of the
committee and others interested in the delega-
tion at'Washington declare that the presenta-
tion by the bean men was one of the most com-
plete and convenient ever made before the
Ways and Means Committee.

The hearing on beans .was held open for a
few days, following the initial presentation of
the case by the representatives from Michigan,
California,Colorado and New York. Addi-
tional testimony may have been submitted af-
ter the hearing announced up to the present
time, but it is believed that nothing more of
special importance will be reported in the mat-
ter. Solthere is weeping and wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth'in the camp of the bean bears, and
the bulls are the most cheerful they have been

forwso‘me time. _
' 'fiiimbau Affair to be Aired
Michigan bean growers‘will be especially in-

' increased; tbi'hea-r that - the presentation of the

caée :by 'the Michigan growers lead" . to the

premise- by Congressman Fordney that ‘the

Kimball speculations will be thoroughly aired,

tions which ruined prices for the growers not
so long ago will be secured from the Depart-

Ways and Means Committee regards tar-
iff proposition favorably. Suspected Dem-
ocratic opposition did not develop during
hearing. Congressman Fordney publicly
states his support for the proposed tariff.

“It is necessary,” he says, “not only to
protect beans, but- also sugar and other
agricultural products grown in this coun-
try. against. competition of cheap foreign
labor. Ninety per cent or more of the cost
of growing or manufacturing commodities
in this country is a labor cost and must be
protected."

The presentation by the bean men is de-
clared to be one of the most complete and
convenient ever made before the commit-
tee. Matter will be held open for one
week for submission of additional testi-
mony.

Of special interest to Michigan growers
is testimony relating to Kimball specula-
tions which Congressman Fordney declares
will be aired before the Committee. F. B.
Dreese, secretary of jobbers, says he will
turn his transcript over to Ways and
Means Committee if so requested.

I will make effort with aid of California
people to secure copy from Department of
Justice.

FORREST LORD.

 

 

 

ment of Justice, it is believed. The Michigan
delegation will be aided in this work by the
Calfornia people who are also right on the job
before the Congressional hearing.

Michigan was ably represented by A. B.
Cook, president of the Michigan Bean Grow-
ers’ Association, Owosso, who left the first of
lastvweek for Washington; Nathan F. Simpson,
farmer and manager of the Gleaner Clearing
House Association, and Forrest Lord, editor of
M. B. F. The last two men left before the end
of last week. Among others representing Mich-
igan’s bean interests were Frank B. Dreese,
secretary of the bean jobbers.

Farmers Pay the Way-

Although the letters from the bean growers
have only started to. come in, it looks as though
the farmers by subscribing small sums will pay

. for a. large part'of the expenses of the repre-

sentatives of their interests to Washington. A

' complete report of this fund will be made later

on. The Bean’Jobbers’ Association has a fund
which paid the expenses of members of the
.bean jobbers. But the Bean Growers’ Associa-
tion has no fund and the delegates paid their
own way. The generosity of many farmers,

however, is likely to make back a large part of
the expenses of the long trip to the delegates.
The effect on the bean market is already not-
ed. as beneficial. There has been more activity
and priceshave risen somewhat. At last, it

I

looks as though the long fight waged by M. B.
F. and its loyal supporters is being fully tri-
umphant. It is hoped that through this WI;-
ning fight, the splendid bean industry of Mich—
igan will thrive again and the farmers get the
prices they deserve.

Michigan Business Farming has completed a
survey of cost of bean production in the vari-
ous important bean growing counties in the
state. Most of these reports were received in
time to turn over the evidence to the Wayl
and Means Committee. But scores of careful,
excellent reports came in from farmers after
the report was taken to Washington. The com-
posite results of all these hundreds of'reportl
will be presented in the near future for the
readers of Michigan Business Farming.

Other agencies have taken up the cry now
for careful production costs, not only in beans
and milk production, but also in other import-
ant lines of produce. The Michigan Agricul-
tural College is among the institutions which
recently have begun a campaign to get accun
ate costs of production.

“Farmers are not likely to be caught an-
other time,” says one expert at the college
“without having in their possession full and
authentic figures as to the cost of raising beans.
With this evidence known thoroughly to then»
selves, the jobbers and the public, it is believed
that there will be far less trouble in getting I
price high enough to assure a reasonable pro-
fit. This principle applies not only to beans,
but to practically every line of the farm busi-
ness.”

It is with delight that Michigan Businesn
Farming noted the quick and state-wide re-
sponse to our appeal for costs of producion in
the bea'h market. And it is felt that the evi-
dence thus gathered had an important bearing
on the Ways and Means Committee. It is ex-
pected that full details of the hearing will be
printed in a week or so. in order that the grow-
ers may learnthe full scope of their initial vio-
tory in the great battle royal for fair prices.

Letters from various centers of. the bean in-
dustry tell how the markets have already rim
sharply, due to the talk concerning a
against the kotenashis. Even the oriental beans
have raised in price about 50 cents or more.
Bean growers in general are holding back at
least part of their beans for the fairer price
which seems to be coming.

Here is a letter typical of a large group re-
ceived, showing the attitude of the growers at
the present time:

“I have just filled out the M. B. F. bean
production cost coupon. The price we are of-
fered in Central Michigan at this” writing is
only about $6 per hundred. That is about $8
too low. When you consider the price we pay
for help, machinery and repairs and for thresh-
ing, we find there is no drop there, but a
mighty stiff boost in the figures. I think it
about time we growers staged a little strike in
this instance. If we don’t ‘walk out’ we'll
keep on digging from daylight till dark seven
days per week without getting anywhere. ,'

“Brother Farmers, let’s not sell a beamin-
til the first of December, and that is what _I
mean by ‘strike. ’~ All those in favor held up
their right hands. ’ ’-——Subscriber.

FARMERS GAIN BEARING _
AT INDUSTRIAL'CONGRESS

Farmers are being 'heard from
with a vengeance at the Industrial
Conference, called to Washington by
President Wilson.

During a certain session Mr. Bar-
ett of Union City. Ga., representing
the Farmers’ Co-operative Union
startled the conference by taking the
floor with an armfnl of papers and
asking permission to pass around the
"preamble” to a resolution he pro-
posed to offer. Somebody suggested

, the resolution was following in a

dray. Mr. Barrett announced the res-
olution would require President Wil-
son to appoint a commission to form-
ulate a national agricultural policy.

Calls Farmers Neglected

Indications were given in Mr. Bar-
rett’s preamble of the dissatisfaction
which the-farmers have been said to
feel because of their comparatively
small representation in the confer-
ence. “To attempt to settle the grave
questions now agitating us without

, the assistance of the farmer is like
. trying to put Hamlet on the stage
1 with the hero left out," the preamble
' stated.

“Why were only three men
as representatives of the greatest in-
dustry in the world invited to parti-
cipate in these momentous delibera-
tions?”

Won’t be Foot Ball

“Don’t, gentlemen, allow yourselv-
es to be deluded into the false idea
that agriculture can not kick, that it
will continue to be the foot ball of
other national interests.

The neglect of the farmer in con-
nection with this conference has
aroused a suspicion, I fear, in many
minds, that organized labor and or-
ganized capital might get together
for some plan for reducing the high
cost of living and allaying unrest and
that the tiller of the soil would be
made to pay the bill. If any member
of this conference holds to such a
view let him understand now and
forever afterward that the farmer
will not make up the deficit; he will
not be the goat.”

200,000 at Saginaw Fair

In the midst of a blaze of jolly
glory the 1919 Saginaw county fair
passed into history as the greatest
event of its kind ever conducted in
that county. The day and night
with their tens of thousands of. attend
ants, put the record for the week
well over the 200,000 goal and gave
an excellent start toward a quarter
of a. million mark. From early morn-
ing until the final attraction closed
at midnight the grounds fairly
thronged with life and wherever there
was anything to see the visitor was
required to force his way through

crowds to arrive at his goal.

Hillsdale Fair Honors Veterans

A successful Soldiers' and Sailors’
day was held at the Hilisdale county
fair. The attendance was good, and
the soldiers of the late war turned
out to help the old veterans make the
day a success. It was the largest
gathering of the younger soldiers
which has been together since the
war. Veterans of the Civil war, the
Spanish-American war. and the Eu-
ropean war and the W. R. C. assembl—
ed at the court house and at 10:00
o’clock marched to the fair grounds,
escorted by Ewing’s Zouave Band
and the Hillsdale martial hand There
were about 400 in line.

Kent County Holstein Sold

The dispersal sale of the Bath
Bros. herd of registered Holsteins at
the Buth farm north of Grand Rapids
was 60 head and the proceeds total-
ed 344,300, an average of $788, in-
cluding the calves. 0f the herd n
were cows, heifers and calves and,
these brought an average of ”13.
Eight bull calves brought an average
of $260 each. The highest price was

My Ten Commami‘ments' Hi My Far-m Business

By P. O. GBOSE

II >
HOU SHALT have no other
business than farming. Not
that one cannot be interested
in other enterprises; but when some
other business becomes more engross-
ing and interesting to me than farm-
ing. it becomes time right then and
there for me to cease being a farmer
and go into the other business. One
can not make a success of a thing if
his heart is not in it.

11.
Thou shalt not
be too ambitious.

A Business Farmer

can be in the barn, in the house, or
wherever thou shalt elect-r but it
thou surely must have. It shall be
to thee a place of thought and figur-
ing and systematizing, so that thy
business may be a profitable business.
Several years ago I came to the con-
clusion that every farmer should
have a desk as the center of his bus-
iness operations just as does every
other business man. I have mine
right in the living room of my home.
It makes an at-
tractive piece of

 

I find that there
is a tendency in
all of us young
farmers to set
our stakes a lit—
tle too high, as it
were, and then as
a consequence we
are robbed of
many of the real
pleasures of life
that come with
moderation.

Thou shalt be
a "cash" man. In

VI

Thou shalt al-
ways strive to
avoid,the disease,
“more acres ma-
nia." I have
se a n s o m a n y
farmers who s e
lives have be—
come dwarfed in
their relentles s
desire to secure
acres, more acres
that early in life
I sought to culti-

 

 

other words, one
who never has a

lot of debts to
settle for each
month. I believe that the proper
way to do in making the various
small purchases for commodities

that we all have to make is to pay
the dealer cash right as one goes. If
one has to be in debt at all; be in
debt to the bank, or to some one in-
dividual. It is a lot better to owe
one party for the whole thing (and
let him have a note for it) than to
owe a lot of parties for a lot of little
sums.
' We

Thou shalt allow no other place to
become more attractive than thy
home. Mrs. Winifred Sackvilie Ston-
er, the famous originator of Natural
Education, a system of training that
accomplishes such wonders with the
children. has that for one of her ten
precepts. When I read it in one of
her articles, a few years ago, I then
and there decided that it should be
one of my “Ten Commandments”
too. We farmers can have nice, in-
teresting homes, as well as our city
cousins, if we just think so.

Thou shalt have. a place of labor
that thou shalt call thy oflice. It

which shall be called thy oflfice.”

that as a farmer
I should prefer
a few less acres and a few more of
the amenities of life.

VII.

Thou shalt make thy payments by
check whenever possible; thus at
one writing thou providest thyself
with a receipt for payment transac-
tions.

VIII.

Thou shalt deal‘squarely. I pre-
fer to go down through life with the
feeling that the other man will al-
ways feel just as satisfied with a deal
as do I. If one. is to be cheated. I
prefer it to be me.

- Di.

Thou shalt have a name for thy
farm. As I am manager and oper-
ator of my father's land, our letter-
head reads, “The W. E. Grose
Farm." We believe in naming a
farm after the owner, as other bus-
inesses do.

X.

Thou shalt keep records of thy
farm matters. I believe that figur-
ing and record keeping is just as es-
sential on the farm as in the city
business.

 

 

owns in Canada. One 4 year old cow
went at $2,500 and another at $2,-
250, and an 11 months old heifer
calf, daughter of a 30-pound cow sold
at $1,726. Four heifer calves under
a year, daughters of 30-pound cows.
sold at an average of $1,494. The
prices are the highest ever noted at
a Grand Rapids sale. A gratifying
feature of the sale is the high prices
paid for the young cattle bred here,
indicating the recognition Grand
Rapids is gaining as a Holstein cent-
er.

Many of the cattle were sired by
Glen Alix DeKol. owned jointly by
the Buth and Maryland farms. The
cattle sold will be shipped to half a
dozen states, the West Virginia buy-.
ers alone taking about $10, 000. -

The West Michigan Holstein
Breeders' association consignment
sale of 80 head at Comstock Park,
mostly cows and heifers, attracted
much attention and the attendance
was large.

Hull Scores Milk System
Municipal milk wagons and taking
over by cities of all milk distribution
as a means of reducing the price, was
advocated by N. P. Hull. of Lansing,
resident of the Michigan Milk Pro-
ucers' Association during his testi-
mony recently before Judge Howard
Weist in the state inquiry into high
prices.
“Then is something wrong with a

system under which half a dozen and
sometimes as many as 15 milk wag-
ons pass the same door every morn-
ing,” the head of the dairyman's or-
ganization said.

“It ought not to cost as much to
distribute milk as it costs to pro-
duce it. but that it what it is doing.
The producer is receiving less than
than 8 cents a quart for the milk that
is delivered in Detroit for 16 cents
a quart."

Hull presented figures prepared by
the dairy department of M. A. C. to
show that it costs $3.86 a hundred
pounds to produce milk from Octob-
er, 1918 to May, 1919. These were
based on books kept on 25 farms,
and show actual expenditures, not
theoritical costs. During this period
the .dairymen’s' leader. said farmers
received as low as $3 a hundred for
milk.

The only way to reduce the price
of milk to the consumer he said. is
to eliminate part of the waste due
to duplication of plants and effort in
distributing it in the cities.

 

On April 17. 1:18, Bert R. Babe
of Mechaniesburg. Ohio, unloaded
seventy head of lean cattle at New-
berry and put them to pasture on
grass of the cut-over land at the
Eight Mile Corner. On September
86,1919, these same cattle pe-ed
over the scale and showed an aver-
age gsinperheadof215 pounds.

FARM BUREAV U OBTAINS
ASSURANCE OF BACKING

From every section of theistate as-
surance of support in the reorgani-
zation of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau into a powerful union of the
majority of Michigan’s 200.000
farmers are coming into the state of-
iices at Birmingham. Mich .

The membership drive which will
be state wide commenced in Oakland
county October 15. It will cover
Barry county next, where the pre-
liminary campaign organization work
already has been done. Montcalm,
Alleges, St. Clair and Lapeer coun-
ties will be visited within the Week
by State Secretary C. A Bingham to
get them ready for the drive. A doz-
en other counties have asked. the
state office for help in organizing
membership campaigns. '

Interest in the movement. which
is intended solely to make the busi-
ness of farming more profitable and
attractive to the farmer, is not con-

fined to the existing county farm bu--

reau units, however. Farmers from
every county in Michigan are flood-
ing the state offices with hundreds of
letters asking full details of the aims
of the reorganized bureau and offer—
ing assistance in helping the move-
ment to a successful conclusion.

Some of the most prominent ag-
riculturists in the state, including
Roland Morrill of Benton Harbor,
Charles B. Scully, of Almont. A. E.
Illenden, of Adrian, Colon Lillie, R.
G. Potts, U. S. Ewing, B. A. Holden,
Whitney Watkins, George M. Low
and others are solidly behind the
movement.

Farmers Honor Gleaners

Michigan is the scene of the 25th
anniversary celebration of . the An-
cient Order of Cleaners. of which
more than 50,000 members are en-
rolled in the state. Silver Jubilee
rallies and meetings are being held
in various parts of the state, the
most significant gathering holding
forth in the Hotel Cadillac, Detroit,
October 10, when prominent Glean-
or workers from all parts of the na—
tion assembled to give honor to the
Gleaner organization, the largest
strictly agricultural order in Ameri-
ca, and to its founder and chief. Mr.
Grant Slocum.

During the past several days an '

important conference of the field
workers has been held in Detroit,
where the National Gleaner Temple
is located, and plans for state cele—
brations of the twenty—fifth anniver-
sary of the organization were outlin-
ed. Also a campaign to increase the
membership and activities of the or-
der is now under way. The field
workers at the conclusion of their
conference presented their chief.
Grant Slocum, with a traveling case,
as a token of their esteem.

Celebrations of the Gleaner Anni-
versary began with the first week of
September, when the Michigan State
Fair devoted an entire day to the
Gleaner farmers and business men.
thousands of whom assembled to
hear speeches, notably that by ’Milo
D. Campbell, of Goldwater, national
president 'of the various dairy asso—
ciations of America. Gleaner Day at
the Davison fair, Sept. 12. at Stand-
ish, Sept. 17, at Hale, Sept. 17 and
other occasions have formed apart
of the Silver Jubilee fete.

Reawakenings and revivals in the
thousands of Arbors will be the or-
der of the day during October, not
only in Michigan but throughout the
Middle West. Scottville, Mich, will
rally Oct. 22; Manton,‘ Mich, Oct.
28; Big Rapids, about Oct. 30. Grant
Slocum, Supreme Secretary. Ross
Holloway, Assistant Supreme" Secre-
tary and other leaders will be speak-
ers at various rallies.

_ »“EAST 13 EAST and West is

West and ‘never the twain
. . shall meet." These words
. by Rudyard Kipling were probably
spoken without giving much thought
to the future, for since the National
Dairy Show which has sprung into
‘ such great prominence in late years
called for entries for its thirteenth
annual exhibition. Eastern states res-
ponded with their unbeaten kings
and queens of dairydom while'own-
ers of the cream of the dairy aris-
tocracy irom the Southwest, Middle
West and Far West were not slow
to answer the summons. -
Cattle from Massachusetts, N
York and New Jersey were sent to
defend the Eastern territory while
Montana sent her prides to defend
the Golden West. Canada on the
North and Texas on the South were
also represented, with‘ the Ed. 0.
meter herd oi Jerseys from Falter-
rias, Texas, probably the most prom-
‘ lnent of all entries. In all nearly 1,-
000 animals of the live leading breeds
are entered for the final showdown
of the season. Jerseys lead all the
breeds in numbers with 294 entries
by 20 breeders. Holsteins come next
with 172 entries by 34 exhibitors.
Guernseys number 131 head, being
shown by 13 exhibitors. and the Ayr-
shires crowd them numerically with
12"? head, shown by 10 breeders. The
Brown Swiss breed was represented
by four breeders showing 69 animals.

Michigan Men Contend

Included in the above array of
contenders were the following Mich-
igan breeders: L. 8. Marshall & Sons,
Leslie, showing Brown Swiss cattle;
E. 8. George, Pontiac. with Jerseys,
and John Ebels, Holland, with
Guernseys.

Holstein cattle were first to be led
into the ring tor conclusive honors
in that breed. In the get of sire
class which calls for four animab,
Wisconsin scored a big victory when
N. Dickinsin of Lake Geneva, won
first on the get of their herd bull,
Iowana Sir Ollie. This animal later
won first in senior bull class and
grand championship. Maxwell Farms
ed Waterloo“. Iowa, won second get
of sire, and Maywoods Farms of
Riehester, Minn, won third.

A college bull, Iowans. Mercedes
Homestead from the dairy tarm at
Amos, Iowa, school. crowded Iowans
Sir Ollie hard for the grand champ-
ionship and got second place. This
is the Iowa entry’s first show this
season. In 1918 he was first as a
two—year—old at the National show,
when it was held at Columbus. Ohio.
. A Canadian entry was a feature of
the senior class. He is Bonerges
Hartog and was shown by Haley &
Lee of Springfield, Ont. At the re-
cent show at Toronto, said to be the
greatest agricultural fair in the
world and where about 206 Holsteins
were on exhibit, the bull won first
in his class and captured the grand
championship. He was only good
for fourth in Chicago, however. ,

The Junior champion Holstein bull
was owned by N. Dickinson 8: Sons
this animal being Waicowis Ollie
Netherland, sired by Iowana Sir

.In .the exhibitor’s herd N. Dickin-

Michigan in Dairy Cattle Congress Held at Waterloo

By DR. G.

HE DAIRY Cattle Congress

I_ opened late last month, at

Waterloo, Iowa and continued
throughout the week. The untiring
efforts of the Mgr. E. S. Estel were
amply rewarded for a finer collec-
tion of animals were never gathered
together before in this state. This
is by far the biggest and best show
the Cattle Congress has ever had.

The Holstelns were most in num-
ber; the Minnesota breeders sent a
large number oi! them to the show
and went home with a. lot of prizes.
They seemed to be the most popular
breed at the show. The Jerseys did
themselves proud both in numbers
and quality. More Jerseys at the
show this yearthan ever before. The
Ayrshires and Gnernseys, while not
so plentiful in numbers made a very
good showing. .Some very good ani~
male in both classes and from the
throng of admirers always near them,
they bid fair to become very popular.
For lxaanty and pleasing appearance
theyeasily head the list. The Brown
Swiss a breed very little known in
this country was well represented by
three herds the largest and best of
them being [rem Ohio. It looks as
though they will become more gen—
erally known in the next few years.

The entries here are mostly from
the section of the country surround-
ing Iowa. No doubt the National
Dairy Cattle Show held at Chicago
last week has kept many of the East-
ern breeders from coming here.

In connection with the dairy cattle
show, an industrial exhibit was held
and was or a very high class. lied-
ern fixtures and implements of in-
terest to the dairy man. stock men
and farmer, were displayed to the via—
itors. Each afternoon and evening
a horse show and an animal circus
was held in the new collseum. It was
high class and was greatly enjoyed.

tion than any exhibit on the grounds.

The entries were well scattered as
some were from Texas. Kansas, Ne-
braska, Kentucky, Ohio and Michi—
gan.

The Ayrshires and Brown Swiss
were judged by L. S. Gillette, Foster—
ia, Iowa. Holsteins were judged by
H. H. Kildee, Prof. of Animal Hus—
bandry at Ames, Iowa. Jerseys were
placed by C. H. Staples, Baton Rouge,
La. The Guernseys by W. A. Mc-

‘Kerron, St. Paul, Minn.

The judging team from Minneso-
ta State Agricultural College won the
Collegieate judging contest, which
was held the first day of the show.

In the Holstein classes N. Dickin-
son & Son of Lake Geneva. WI... car—

terloo—Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas and
Missouri—are in the contest of skill.
The other states represented are
Maryland, New York, New Hamp—
shire, Ohio. Massachusetts, South Da-
kota and Washington. The Missouri
team won first at the Waterloo con-
test. -

Each team consists of three men
and an alternate and is accompanied
by their coach. Helmer Rabild oi
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
Washington, D. C., is in charge of
the contest.

A class of 4 bulls, 4 cows and 4
heifers was passed on in each of the
live breeds. Supervisors of the con—
test are wrestling with a mass of
figures and will not be able to give
out the winners until later.

Six boys entered the junior judg-
ing contest. They are the champions
of their states, having won out in
county and state fair competitions.
In this competition Raymond G. Nes-
bit of Hopkins. Mnin., won premier
honors, Burton Forney of Waterloo,
Iowa, was second; John Stansfieid of
Lawrenceville, Ill, third; Clarence
Rogers of Pendleton. Ind., Ivan C.
Galpin, Ann Arbor, Mich., and Cyrus
Shabaz of West Alls. Wis, were next
in order named.

Young Nesbit won $100 in cash,
a silver loving cup offered by the
National Dairy Association and a
silver loving cup for best judge of
Holstein cows offered by the Hol-
steln-Friesan Association of America.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is participating in the
show not only to honor the dairy
cow, but also to further the princi-
ples and practices of good dairying.
The government exhibits show the
exact amount and kinds of food re—
quired to keep a cow for one year
also a farm scene showing a hay
stack and a fodder rack, containing
the necessary amounts of dry forage;
a silo, 5 feet-in diameter and 11 feet
high, vmlch will hold the silage nec-
essary for the cow; and a large pile
of ear corn and the mill feed in sacks
which the cow will eat during the 12
months. A huge milk bottle 4 1-2
feet wide and 9 feet high with 9. ca—
pacity of mono pounds of milk is
used to illustrate the cow’s produc-
tion. To complete the picture a cow
and calf of the type which consumes
the feed and converts it into the
amount of milk exhibited are on
hand. The amounts of feed and the
milk supplied are actual averages of
results obtained by the Dairy Divi—
sion from practical test with dairy
farmers in northern Indiana. A
small milk house. wherein is demon—
onstrated the proper methods of
cooling milk is also part of this feat-
ure-

Milking Machines Exhibited

Wandering from the big judging
arena to the machinery section, show
visitors are soon lost in a maze of
booths, watching the marvelous per-
formance of machines for taking
milk from the cow to the consum-
er’s table with the minimum amount
of labor and loss of food value. Over
a hundred exhibits of interest to
dairymen are to be seen.

Mingling with the crowd of farm-
ers and dairymen are big business
men, many of them millionaires who
have entered herds and closed their
desks for a few days of sightseeing
at the show.

Governor Frank 0. Lowden of
Illinois is one of the notable visitors
but as he prefers to attend the show
as a farmer and dairyman no special
reception was planned for him.

Another notable visitor register-
ing was Brigadier General B. Enstin,
of the Union or South Africa, who is
accompanied by A. J. Beyser. They
”resent the agricultural depart—
ment of their country. Visitors have
registered from five other counties,

. ious attention among business

farmers everywhere, and they
will be interested in this second art—
1010 by Prof. M. M. McCool, of M. A.
0.. on Soil Formation.

Soil Definition

Soil covers the land surface of the
earth as an orange peel an orange,
or a cover a base ball. It varies

reatly in thickness. In some places

0 bed rock lies within a few inches
of the surface, in others it approach-
es within a few feet, and in still oth-
ers it may be buried several hundred
feet deep. . _

The soil mass may be div1ded into
surface soil and subsoil. The former
is commonly spoken of as the mass
that is turned by the plow, the latter
that which extends downward from
the bottom of the furrow slice to
bed rock.

SOIL improvement is attractingser-

Soil Composition

The soil is an exceedingly complex
over—changing mass. Mineral mat-
ter, which was formerly solid rock,
makes up by far the greater part of
the upland soils. It exists as parti—
cles of different sizes. shapes, colors,
and composition as well as salts.
There is present, vegetable matter
consisting of roots. stems, and leaves
of plants in different stages of decay.
and also living and dead organisms,
such as various kinds of bacteria,
molds. and fungi; the soil atmos-
phere. and the soil moisture which
dissolves and carries in solution var—
ious substances should also be men-
tioned. Thus, the soil is not an in-
ertwlifeless mass as most people look
upon it but on the contrary it is com-
plex and ever changing and lends it—
self to much study. The soil that one
tills this season is not the same as
that which he cultivated last season
or those prior to that, indeed those
who are alert to the situation realize
that the effects of some methods of
soil management may be strikingly
observed for several years.

A study of the methods of forma—
tion of the soil is fascinating to
many. As the properties of soils and
therefore their management are gov—
erned in a large measure by the pro—
cesses which brought about their
formation these should be briefly
considered at this time.

To begin with we had the parent
rock. This may have been either a
solid mass, or material laid down by
wind, water or ice, as shown later on.
It is true that the nature of the or-
iginal material is important in af-
fecting the properties of the result—
ing soil, but so far as the soils stu—
dent is concerned it seems that the
agencies that brought .the soil to its
present condition as well as the age
of the material are of chief concern.

Owing to the fact that there is a
gradual but constant removal of the
desirable plant-food elements from
the soil by drainage waters there is
a constant tendency for all soils to
sppmach each other in composition.
Some soils are so old, geologically
speaking, that they are practically
devoid of plant-food elements. It is
now believed by some that the back—
wardness of the African negro may
be attributed to the age of the soil, it
being probable that here lies the
oldest soils in the world.

The breaking down of rock and
the formation of soil therefrom and
its subsequent changes are spoken of
as weathering. There are several
processes that aid in this transform-
ation. Although the most important
may be conveniently classified into
physical, or mechanical, and chemical,
we should not lose sight of the im-
portant fact that these work in con-

unction with each other, however,
11 some cases the physical forces pre-
dominate and in others the chemical.

In speaking of physical or mechan-
icalichanges with respect to rocks or
(hits, the change'in form or, size of

the particles that comprise the mass

rather than' the composition .is con-
sidered. In this group falls the ac-

Erosion or the wearing away of
exposed surfaces tends to level the
earth’s surface and has played an im-

cellent examples of this and though

and in almost every clime. The dust

Chemical Agencies in Soil Formation
When we speak of chemical
changes we refer to the formation of
new compounds, rather than to the

changes- in size or form. Chemical
changes are responsible for the
leaching of plant food from soils by
drainage waters as'well as to others.

All minerals tend to oxidize or
“rust” when exposed to air in ,-the
presence of appreciable amounts cf
moisture. This is true of the minor-
als when in the rocks as Well as in
the soil. The result of such action
is most visible in rocks that are high
in compounds of iron,‘ asevi‘denced
by brownish or yellowish streaks or
stains. As a result of thisoxidation
the reeks fall apart more _rapidly
when acted on by the physical farces.
and more rapidly pass into solutidn,
as spoken of below. '

Water is nature’s great solvent.
No rock or rock forming material is
insoluble in.it; but it is true that
some minerals are far more soluble
than others. Water always carries
in solution appreciable amounts of
mineral matter, vegetable or. organ-
ic matter. oxygen and carbon diox-
ide. ‘It is estimated that the Missis-
sippi river deposits annually in the
Gulf of Mexico 86 tons of dissolved
minerals for every square mile of
territory drained by it. Thus solu-
tion aids in breaking down rock to
form soil, and it also aids in releas—
ing food from the soil for the plant.

 

 

 

 

 

Glaciated areas of U. S. are shown here.

The amount of rainfall has a pro-
found influence on the properties of
soils. We recognize four divisions in
North America based upon precipita-
tion; they are:

Arid, regions that receive 12 inch—
es or less of rainfall annually; semi—
arid, regions that receive from 12 to
20 inches of rainfall annually; sub-
humid regions that receive from 20
to 30 inches of rainfall annually;
humis, regions that receive 30 or
more inches of rainfall annually.

Whether the physical or chemical
factors predominate in weathering
to form soil depends chiefly upon the
rainfall. The physical forces spoken
of previously predominate in soil
formation in the arid or semi—arid
regions. The most striking charact-
eristics of these soils are, (1) low
content of organic matter. (2) gen—
erally light or gray in color, (3)
great unformity throughout their
depth, (4) rather porous nature, (5)
small quantity of clay, and (6) very
fertilé‘When irrigated.

The chemical forces predominate
in the weathering of rocks in the re-
gions of higher rainfall, and are
especially active in the warm, moist
areas. The soils occurring in much
of the sub-humid regions may be
described as dark colored prairie
soils and comprise a vast stretch of
country extending northward from
the Gulf Coast of Texas into Cana-

Slope Also Influences the Properties
of Soils

Soils formed on north slopes ' of
mountains and larger hills,- in gen-
eral exhibit finer texture. are dark-
-er in color, deeper, and are more
fertile than those formed on the
south slopes. Such variations are at—
tributed to the differences in the
moisture content and the tempera—
ture relations. On many of the south
slopes the winds and sunshine quick-
ly dry the soil, thus the chemical
forces are at a ~minimum. while on
the north slopes the water content
remains higher and the temperature
is lower, and the conditions are more
nearly ideal for the accumulation of
vegetable matter and chemical act-
ivities. Where the seasons are long
the north slopes are usually in favor
for crop production, but in the re-
gions of short growing seasons the
south slopes are usually more desir-
able.

Color_of Soils

Soils exhibit wide variations in
color, depending much upon climatic
conditions. The color is generally
due to the materials that coat the
soil particles. There are two chief
coloring matters in soils. namely, iron
compounds and organic matter. The
iron compound give rise to red, yel-
low, blue and gray colors, depending
upon the state of oxidlzation, or rust-
ing, as well as upon the thickness of
the oxidized layer; organic matter is
responsible for the dark or black, and
in some instances, the gray colored
soils. ’ If the organic matter is form-
ed in soils that contain rather large
amounts of lime, it is usually dark
or black in color. On the other hand
if formed in soils that contain“ small
quantities of lime, it is more often
less dark. Where both the oxidiZa—
tion of iron compounds and the form-
ation and decay of organic matter
are active, various intermediate tints
result. such as reddish browns and
others. _

Red soils are common in the trop-
ical regions, in several of the south-
ern states, and in portions of the
states west of the Cascade Mount-
ains. They are less common in the
northern states, and seldom occur in
the westernmountainous states.

Color is important to the farmer's
eye. in many regions dark colored
soils are looked upon as being fertile,
while deep red soils are in great fav-
or in others. As a general rule the
color of the subsoil is indicative of
the drainage conditions under which
the soils were formed. If the sub-
soil is gray or only slightly mottled
in color the drainage was poor. If
brownish or well mottled, drainage
conditions were much better.

hat You Get

Within a short time you are going to be
called on by a representative of the State
Organization and asked to join the Greater
Michigan Farm Bureau.

The campaign starts in Oakland County on
October 15th.

What will you say?

We hope that your answer will be “Yes.”

But, before you make up your mind you have
a right to know what the organization will ac-
complish and What your money will be spent for.

We can show what the results of this organiza-
tion will be, first, by what the plan is; second,
by what it is accomplishing elsewhere.

The work of the State Farm Bureau will be
divided into three great divisions—educational,
marketing and legislative.

The program in these three divisions is too
extensive to be gone into in great detail here.
It includes work to solve every problem which
now confronts you——crops, livestock. prices,
labor, buying—each subject ,handled by the
most experienced man we can find. We can
best cite examples of what actually has been
done along these lines in other states, notably
Illinois.

There, the educational work on crops, soils
and livestock has been carried far beyond any-
thing that has been before attempted, because
they have had sufficient funds to go at this work
as it should be gone at—conducting investiga-
tions and hiring real experts with practical

knowledge who can show how to put extra dol-

lars into the farmers’ own pockets.

Along the lines of marketing similar great
advances have been made.

Illinois wool was this year sold through the

association at an average of 65¢ per pound

as against 450 which is the highest price

 

or Your Mo ney

offered for average grades by the brokers before
the farm bureau took it up. This is but a typical
example of what you can expect in actual cash
returns from the marketing division of your own
State Farm Bureau, not only on wool but other
farm products.

In regard to legislation, a Legislative Com-
mittee was maintained at the State Capitol which
saw to it that the farmers got a square deal from
the legislature.

They succeeded in passing at the last session
every bill of which they approved and killing
every bill to which they objected.

That is what your own State Farm Bureau
will do, if you furnish them the organization
and the means with which to do it.

These are definite, tangible things which you
will get for an investment of a few dollars in
the farm bureau.

There is nothing mysterious or hidden about
the whole proposition. This is not a pet scheme
of any one man or any group of men.

You farmers are merely building the same
strong, substantial, far~reaching sort of an organi-
zation that exists today in manufacturing, mar-

keting and labor fields.

Think of the power of 200,000 Michigan Farmers work-
ing together. With this power you can accomplish any
fair, legitimate object which you attempt.

You cannot shoulder this responsibility onto your
neighbor. If you do not join this organization, you have
no right to ask the next fellow to do it.

Every farmer who refuses to join weakens the organ-
ization by just so much. You have a personal respon-
sibility in this matter. You know that this great work
we have outlined is absolutely essential if farming as a
whole is to become what it ought to bew-the most
pleasant, profitable occupation in the world.

It is a critical time. Farmers are either going forward
or going backward, and whether they do go forward or

' go backward depends on you.

When the representative calls, say “Yes”.

Why a Special Session?

I T IS reported that Governor Sleeper may
. call a special session of the Legislature. It
seems that the city of Saginaw has reached the
limit of its bonded indebtedness as fixed by
the law and Saginaw wishes the state to fetch
its legislators back to Lansing at the people’s
expense to pass a special a permitting Sagi-
naw to sell more bonds to repair its antiquat-
ed water system. Saginaw’s water system has
been on the “bum” for years, and those who
have stopped at Saginaw ’3 hotels Will remem-
ber the little signs here, there and everywhere,
“This water not fit to drink.” The Legisla-
ture was in session for nearly four consecutive
months, and the Saginaw city authorities had
all the chance in the world of getting through
their special act. When we asked someone the
other day why the matter was not presented
while the Legislature was in regular session,
we got this reply: “The city officials couldn’t
agree.”

From the day that the attorney-general dis-
covered that Squire Squeezem of Pinchem Cor-
ners, charged one of his customers twelve and
three-fourths cents a pound for sugar instead
of the regular price of twelve and a. half cents,
the politicians have been clamoring for a spec-
ial session of the Legislature to pass a law to
hang the squire. But» while the governor was
making up his mind about this, the public for-
gave the squire for his offense, and presto!
the politicians’ hopes for a. special session went
a-glimmering. But then, oh joy! The Sagi-
nawians came to an agreement. “We are ready
now for our special act,” they chorused, “Call
in the Legislature and let the job be done.”

It’s a long, long way to Tipperary, but not
so long in the minds of some wire-pulling pol-
iticians as it is from the middle of May when
lelature adjourned to the last of Aug-
x w on the primaries are held. Many things
can happen in the interim. Political fences
1hat were built up during the solons’ sojourn
at Lansing and left intact last May have suf-
F cred some damages. A board has been knock-
[’d off here and there; a post broken off ; a gate
unlatched. Strange cattle are browsing in the
political meadows. This will never do. We
must get the boys back to Lansing to fix these
Fences. We ’11, have a special session, and
charge the job to the state.”

Governor Sleeper said we were to have a
a “business administration; no mics expeml-I
itures; no wasting of funds; strict accounting
of the people’s money. But the Legislature
sprint money like a drunken sailor and the gov-
rmr but the tux-tom in approval. We
haven't heard anyone complaining about taxes

s‘ons of the Legislature are expensive luxuries

,Why Not Run the Other Way?

AVE YOU SEEN a'child chase a butts-

flyi Each time as the childid .,
close upon it, the pretty thing flutterl up
away, always just within reach and M jut
without. Sometimes it is caught, but the
thoughtless child crushes its beautiful whip
into a shapeless mass and it is no longer-dair-
able. Soon another hovers about and the ohm
is on once more.

But butter-fly chasing is not confined to the
children. Grown men and women the country
over are chasing butterflies, seeking their
heart’s desire. What that desire is, no man
seem: to know. They only know that the de-
sire is there, a strong and itching desire, which
drives them to a chase that is empty and end;
less. .
Let us make a suggestion. Instead of chas-

ing the butterfly, why not go the other way?
Instead of running over the multitude in the
road, Why not turn back and take the detour?
Instead of pushing your neighbors off the
globe, why not press back and make room for
them? Instead of grabbing everything in sight
why not leave something for other folks? If
every individual in every class of people would
follow this excellent procedure the turmoil
would soon be hushed, the unrest satisfied, the
butterfly caught and the chase ended.
Selfishness is the mother of much of the evil
in the world. Man does not oppress his
brother because he likes to see him suffer." The‘
oppressor of whatever name or nature 'm usu-
ally the victim of hyper-selfishness, and in the
‘ smug satisfaction of acquiring the things that
add to his material wealth or comfort, looks
over the heads of those who have been depriv-
ed for his benefit. " The oppressor cannot for-
ever oppress his victims revolt. Neither can
any man forever cheat and rob and drive
tricky bargains with his fellow—men; he is
found out and his fellow-men turn upon him.
This is what is happening today. Men in ev-
ery walk of life have been taught the trick of
“turning a spare dollar to good advantage.”
But too often that dollar has worked to the
disadvantage of someone else, and that’s where
the trouble begins. No such situation as con—
fronts us now could have been pomible in a.
land where men are considerate of the welfare
of others and careful in their dealings With
each other. Let us turn back before it is too
late. Let us have a little less chasing of the
butterfly at the expense and a little more in-
dulgence in the milk of human kindness. Let
us revise our national motto, “Every man for
himself and the devil take the hindmost,” and
make it, “A square deal for all.”

What’s the Difercnce?

W HEN A MAN gets on a soaprbox in New

York city and yells “Down with the
President,” he is put in the cooler. When a
United States senator stands on a platform in
the Middle West and says, “Wilson is a men-
ace to the country,” he is applauded and some-
one nominates him for president What’s the
difference?

President Wilson has met the bitter stouns
of criticism and invectives that have been
hurled against him incessantly during'the past
three years, with a grace and dignity unparal-
lelled in political history. His public defense
of the positions he has taken has been singular-
ly free from personal abuse. He has confined
himself to the merits of his argument and let
his enemies go with merely a passing reference.
But consider, if you please, the passionate out-
bursts ot his opponmts. Is notthe public vil-

come so bad tint warnings are being sent

to rot soldiers about certain congested
centers, as Detroit. This sumo—warning

might just as well‘be issued to the farmers in
sections of Michigan where crop discourage-
ments have stimulated the migration to the
cities. In Detroit the condition was bad last
spring and peeplc had to wait for weeks and
months before finding suitable quarters. But
now the condition isfar worse.” Colonies of
tents, despite the cold weather approaching,
are increasing on the outskirts of the city. For
the young man or woman coming in from the
country, it is almost miraculous if a room can
be found. '

This same thing may be said of Flint and
other great, booming towns or cities in Michi-
gan. The same condition prevails in other
states, as well as in Michigan. Take Indianap-
olis, for example, which has not been widely
known to have grown rapidly. Nevertheless
Indianapolis resembles Detroit in house. short-
age, only the rents seem to be a trifle hlgheri

The cause back of all this unfortunate condi-
tion, of Course, is the small amount of building
done during the war, while the population in-
creased considerably. And now, when war
would release the energies of the people to-

are so high that the building being done 18 far

RELIGIOUS TOLERAHOE
IS BLAMED FOB WAR
I would like to know what “the
Neighbors say" on subject of War.
the Cause and Prevention. We
charge speculative theology with res-

ponsibility for the conglomeration of.

religious doctrines. ,Thediflerence
of. religious opinions is responsible
for the liberty of action by the
oppressor. If the Kaiser knew that
he would go to hell for doing what
he did. he would not have done it.
The speculative doctrines of religions
are responsible for J unkerism. Junk-
erism' is oppression. Oppression is
hell. Hell is war. War is the effect
of religious tolerance. The doctrine
that God is a God of war. that Jacob.
David and Joshua were righteous:
that the atrocities committed by them
was God working thru them. One
might get the idea that you can live
a life of piracy and if you can hold
your breath long enough at the last
snuitle and cry out "Lord have
mercy on me a sinner,” the angels of
heaven will fall over one another to
welcome you home.’ Such a religion
is blasphemy against the supernatur-
al intelligence of man. The preven-
tion of war is a knowledge of our
spiritual nature and its relation to
God, which is within the power of
the human mind to attain. Paul's
doctrine to the contrary notwith-
standing. Psychotheology is the gos-
pel of Christ—J. L. 0., Shelby.

You have a theory which is rather un-
ique. Friend J. L. C., and we want to
hear what the other neighbors have to
say about this interesting subject. You
will find. I believe, that some will think
that the war was caused by conflicting
commercial systems in the race for mast-
ery of the sea and the world's business.
They may say that the speculative theol-
ogy was largely influenced by commer—
cial and other practical considerations.
You might find an interesting phase of
thought on the subject by comparing the
religious doctrines in the Roman Empire.
Let's hear from you again. Perhaps you
have some comment to make on religion
of today in agricultural districts and the
outlook—The Editor.

WHO MAKES PROFIT?

I would like to comment through
the columns of your paper, our pa-
per as I call it, inasmuch as every-
one around here takes it. We all
swear by it. Well, a friend of mine
was here from Illinois the other day
and was telling about the bean bus-
iness. He is a farmer in the Corn
Belt, and his wife had to pay 26 cents
a pound for beans in threshing time.
Out of that she picked a teacupful of
rotten beans. Now when they buy
them from us. they stand them on
end and turn them over eleven times
to see it they can find even so much
as a fly speck, on them, so they can
call them pickings. Who makes the
profit on beans?—C. A. 0.. Alma.

vator man from a town very close to

TWO MEANINGS 0F OAPITALIB

I read in M. B. 1". recently an art-
icle by 8. H. Blagie regarding capital—
ism. In one sense ot the word the
farmer is a capitalist, but not a mon-
opolist, nor is the business man so-
essarily a monopolist. He simply
takes a commission. Now it doesn't
require any amount of seal for a mer-
chant to buy a broom for sixty cents
and sell it for one dollar in order
that the profit may go to pay for his
living. The farmer buys at retail

 

and cells at wholesale. while the mer-

ually began, so when he
was headed off he said he
would "fix ’em for that.” He said
“those whom we can't control we will
suppress.” Big business has used
this same method with the farmers.

Another method of big business is
to increase wages high enough to
pacify the laborers in the factories,
though the farmer will foot the bill.
The idea of big biz here was to create
high pay for the city workers so as
to give the impression of good times
and prosperity in the world, in spite
of the wan—S. S.

chant buys at wholesale and sells "for
retail. How long would the mer—
chant stay in business it he had to
buy at retail and sell at wholesale?
The Socialists believe 'in legislation
to abolish capitalism, and the Non-
Partisan League believes in legisla-
tion to control capitalism or govern—

ment ownership of unavoidable mon-
opolies—E. W., Gladwin.

Of course. the farmer isn’t a capitalist
in the common sense of the word as most
people understand it. Remember that
technically it refers to anyone who em.
ploys capital to make earnings therefrom.
But it all “capitalists" were as square and
honest as the farmers. there would be no
trick coming. in the millenium
Elli“! be just around the cornea—The

tor.

Sherman was right, without a doubt.
and farmers are certainly realizing it in
many communities. Ayone employing the
tactics of the kaiser is surely employ-
ing reprehensible measures, and it big
business looks only to its own temporary
advantage. it will work only to its own
detriment—The Editor.

The Most Responsible Lubricating Work

Why we are particularly
proud of Texaco Tractor Oil

AMERICA’S farmers, realizing the urgent need of increased
harvests to feed the world, have turned to the tractor. For the next
few years, therefore,just how much food—stuff we are able to produce,
will depend directly on the service the tractor renders the farmers.
If the tractor operates continuously without breakdown or stop-
page, the successful fulfillment of our promise to feed the world
is assm'ed. Lubricating the tractor may then well be considered ' i
one of the most responsible duties that oil must perform. We l
are proud of our part in this great peace-time work. ,
Texaco Tractor Oil will continue to be the economical lubri- I
cant, and will assure protection, constant operation, and long-life ;
to the tractor. Its uniform high quality and correct body will '
continue to reduce friction to nearly nothing. It will continue »
to be the dependable oil for the most responsible lubricating Work. i
Try it. In wooden barrels and half barrels, 15, 33, and 55 ‘
gallon steel drums, and one and five gallon cans.

THE SUGAR SHORTAGE
ROBABLY nowhere {does the su-
P gar shortage work so great a
hardship as to the women of the
farm who have quantities of‘fruit to

. preserve and cannot get the sugar

with which to do it. We notice that
the huge canneries and the candy
making shops are all running, full
blast with apparently no shortage
while we are obliged to sell all our
fruit or allow it to rot on the trees

; and ground because we cannot get

enough sugar to preserve what we
need for our own family's winter
consumption.

We may be criticised for our ad-
vise on this matter, but we feel. that
the only way to keep from a repiti-
tion of this shortage is to buy sugar
enough in the spring to do our can-
ning in the late summer and early
fall. This is not hoarding it—it is
only obtaining our share when it is
plentiful. Soon the sugar beet fac-
tories will be turning it out by the
ten. but it will then be too late for
our fruit. And so next year we will
”beat the profiteers to it," by heading
the old adage to “Go thou and do
likewise.” '

SEEN IN CITY SHOPS
HITE NECKWEAR has almost
‘}‘/ disappeared in the city shops.
On the dark serge and silk
dresses, the necks are finished with
a mere binding or facing of the ma—
terial, and the neckline is left un-
broken save for the string of beads
which still holds its own as the chief
ornament of milady. but in order that
we shall spend more money the beads
are now woven in a flat chain—about
one-half inch wide—some as wide as
an inch, and the bends are woven,

forming a pendant. at the end.

And because kid is scarce and
higher than ever the glove saleslady
tells us that gauntlet gloves are really
the correct thing for street wear. Of
course if you drive much in the wint-
er the gauntlet glove is almost a ne-
cessity.

Coats are shorter in length and
igher in price this winter and for
unate indeed are you if you have an

old one on hand that you can cut off
to sport length, thus saving your dol—
lars and keeping in style at the same
time.

Probably; no form of fancy work
is receiving more attention at the

resent time than stenciling. A good

grade oil cloth is obtained and with
a pattern, almost any clever woman
can make tea sets, dresser sets or
can paint over the old kitchen chairs
and stencil a pattern on the back.
while flower pots are stenciled to
match the color tone of your living
room.

even, is to play on credulity.
The object of all these regulations
is to confine voting to only those en—
titled to vote. .
Registration districts are large or
small in area,-according to popula—
tion. In Detroit,-a district may con-

‘sist of only a_few city blocks; in the

country is may'cover a whole town-
ship of 36 square miles. There is .a
general registratio in Michigan
every four years—t a year of the
.resldentlalrelection.» The next gqra
ra‘l registration in Michigan is in
the fall _of 1920. Not to exceed 600
voters, it is said, can be comfortably
handled in an ordinary voting place
in a day; so districts are subdivided
as the number of .votes increase, in
order that no one may be deprived of
voting because there is not time to
handle" the ballots. _
Marking the Ballot

On election day the, duly qualified
voting woman presents herself to the
polling place. She announces her
name. and also her residence. if liv-
ing in the city, and when it is found
that she has been duly registered and
is entitled to vote, the official ballots
are handed her. Then she enters a
booth alone, to mark her ballot.

Marking a ballot is a more or less
perplexing problem in proportion to
the number of candidates to be voted
for, and the number of political part-
ies demanding recognition. Further
when constitu- _
tional amendments. propositions for
bonding for public purposes or de-
cisions to be made of public policy,
are also placed in her hands

Often the official ballot is a formi-
dable looking document, containing
scores of names under party emblems
and for local. county, State and na-
tional offices.

In order to vote independent of
party for a candidate, it is necessary
to place a cross (X) before the name
of one’s choice. Scan the entire bal-
lot, placing this cross (X) mark be-
fore each name selected, being care-
ful not to vote for more than one
person for the same office; for such‘.
a mistake will vitiate your vote in-
sofar as these candidates are con-
cerned. . ~

 

CHRISTMAS FANCY WORK

New. designs for crochet patterns

What Susie Gave Up

Ernie did. The baby was too little

“I’d like to know what yOu are

giving up,” said Ernie “I bet you
aren ’t giving up anything !” '
“So do I !” said Margie. “I’d be

ashamed ! Even Freddie is giving

“Are you giving up?” asked Fred-
die.

Susie nodded her curls.

“What is it.” said Freddie. “Please
tell !”

“No, Freddie,” said Susie. “It’s
a secretfi’

”Is it something you don’t like
anyway?” asked Ernie, who liked to
tease sometimes.

“Or something we never have?”
put in Margie.

Susie’s black eyes flashed but she
replied gently:

“It’s something quite hard to give
up.”

“Muddy-kin didn’t say we had to
give up anything,” Margie said. “We
could if we felt like it.”

“And we ought to give up some-
thing we like best,” put in Susie.

“Well. you don’t like anything bet»
ter’n sugar, do you?” Ernie asked.

Susie nodded her curls again. “Is
Polly coming tomorrow?” she asked,
to change the subject.

Polly was a little neighbor who
came nearly every day to play with
the five little Tuppers. The other
children knew Susie was trying to
change the subject, but she spoke so
nicely and smiled too, which wasn’t
like Susie somehow. that not even
Ernie said any more about giving up
anything.

The next day Polly did come to
play and just as "they had decided
what to play, Muddy-kin came to the
door carrying Baby all dressed for
going out. Ernie was saying: “1’11

play Father if you’ll let
the children.”

“You horrid boy!” cried Margie.
“Spank my dollies ! I guess not !”

“Why don’t you be shopkeeper,”
suggested Susie quickly. “We’ll get
some-leaves off the box hedge for
money. Oh, Muddy-kin !”

The children ran to their mother
and kissed Baby, who looked “as

me spank

cunning as a sugar-plum,” so Margie
said.
“Dears/”said Muddy-kin, “Fitzie

has taken her afternoon of and I ex-
pected to take Baby- out but Mrs.
Thomas has just come to call. Which
one 'of you will take Baby out for
me?”

There was hardly the weeniest

pause and Susie said: “I will ! Is
his carriage ready?”
“Oh dear !" sighed Margie.

“Babies are cunning but they are so
much bother !”

Susie tucked baby in his carriage
and soon she was wheeling him up
and down the pavement singing to
him about Pussey-meow and her silk
petticoat.

Soon Freddie came out of the
house, looking a. little guilty. and
took hold of the handle and walked
along beside Susie. He thought it
was more fun to walk and hear about
Pussy-meow than to play with old
dolls, he said. But it wasn't long be-
fore Margie and Polly came out.

“Susie, what do you think i” cried
Margie. “That’s a wicked, bad little
boy and I wouldn’t let him walk with
me, if I were you !”

Freddie puckered up his face
ready to cry, and said quickly:
“Susie. I’m awful sorry !”

“He broke Clarissa !" cried Polly.

For a minute Susie felt all stuffy
and queer, as if she couldn't breathe.
Clarissa was her favorite doll. Mar-
gie held it up showing the damage.
Freddie began to bowl and woke up

the baby.
“Hush!” said Susie. “Hush,
Freddie! I know you didn’t mean

to . It's all right.”

There were tears in Susie’s eyes
and she walked quickly away to hide
them and Freddie came too, muffling
his howls as best he could. »

“Well I never!” exclaimed Mar-
gie turning to Polly. “What can be
the matter with Susie? She used to
be the baddest tempered creature!
I was sure she would give
Freddie a good cuff on
the ear.”

“I think she’s a dear !”
cried Polly.

Polly left Margie’s side
and ran to Susie and put
her arm through Susie's.

“I think Clarissa can
be mended as good as
new,” she said. “My big
brother, Bob, can mend
anything. He often
mends dishes for Ma-

Meanwhile Margie ran into the
house where Ernie was fixing his
shop

“Say, ” he cried excitedly. “I bet
I know what Susie’s giving up.”

"‘What?” asked Ernie. “I suppose
now the game is all spoiled. I told
you not to go and tell Susie about her
old Clarissa until afterwards. Now
I suppose she’s gone and hit Freddie
and Freddie’s gone and told Muddy—
kin and Muddy-kin’s sent Susie up-
stairs and you’ll have to mind the
baby and the game is spoiled !”

“That’s just it!” cried Margie.
Susie didn’t hit Freddie or even
scold. That’s what she’s giving up !
I’ve been wondering and wondering
what was the matter with Susie."

“That’s right!” replied Ernie af-
ter a moment of thought. “I remem-

Wheat continues to show a firm
undertone in the cash markets, re—

of the country. This condition in

ably less wheat being held back on
the farms this year-than for a long

The car shortage also has had its
finger in the pie. although that factor
hasn’t troubled Michigan much. Mid—
dle' Western states which stored
wheat out in the open fields lost a
great deal during heavy rains recent»
ly. The crop was of rather poor
quality in the face of greater demand
for flour, and it is thought the price
may go up considerably.

Farmers in Michigan have planted
large quantities of winter wheat, put-

There are so many conflicting in-

now that sharp fluctuations are ex-

while the cash may advance or de-

who should'be in a position to know

in the country is much smaller than

Alter having been in a state of

France, Italy and Scandinavia are

OAKLAND (N)—'-I see you are

dry weather. Could not plow the
ground. Corn is a fine crop. Po-
tatoes are looking good when they“

were planted in season. Barley
nearly a complete failure. Oats
little better than half a crop. Beans
very small acreage planted. Cattle,

sheep and hogs are looking well.
Some lambs are going to market at
12 to 14 cents a pound. Most farm-
ers are selling milk. Apples 3. light
crop but good quality—E. F.

ARENAC (E)—Weather has been
rainy and not much'of anything be—
ing done and as there are consider-
able beans out as yet. People who
have them out are wondering which
will be the next move. Grains are
being threshed out and are very poor,
especially spring wheat. Not much
fail grains being sown this fall.
Prices for the farmer are lower. but
the stuff he has to buy is higher.
Some have begun fall plowing before
going after the sugar beet crop.
Beans will yield about 9 bushels per
acre and will be quite heavy pick-
ers, as the grasshoppers have raised
hob with some of them.——-M. B. R.

WEXFORD—Quite a seige of
rains have set in. Some of the farm—
ers are digging potatoes and some
are husking corn. Some are selling
out and going to New York state.
Quite a bit of fall grain is being
sown, mostly rye. Potatoes are not
much of a crop in some places.

CALHOUN (W)—F'armers ,are

consignnauis 01-11113 to some mend

“tricks," but rather are "secrets" and
"helps.” since they really are parts
of the trapping business—parts which

rival trappers.

Secrets of Successful Trapping

I never like to-set traps directly
in' a den. One or two, animals are
easily captured in this way, but the
others which» den there, are pretty
sure to become suspicious and afraid,
moving their’quarters to some other
den.

After finding a den that is inhab-
ited or frequented,-I set traps in the
runways leading to it, or build small
“houses” of sticks, bark. etc., with a
bait in the back side of them, and a
tra set at the opening in front. This
lasfi'method is by far the best I ever
have employed.

’ For a good bait, capture small fish,

or near a good fire. Do not allow the

cork it at all) else the bottle will
burst. When the fish become well
rotted, they will give off an odor that
Will attract any animal. Allow the
bottle to cool thoroughly, cork up,
and set away for baiting traps. If a
few drops of oil of Rhodium and
Sweet Anise are added, so much the
better. .

A mink has an in and an “out”
opening in his den; that is. the ani—
mal goes in at one hole and out at
the other. and it will-use these‘open—
ings in no other ways. The larger of
the two openings is the “in” the
smaller one the “out.” Set your
trap at the “out” and when “Brer
Mink” goes into his den he is pretty
sure to attempt to pass out over the
trap at the ‘out” end of his den, rath—
er than turn around and go back and
out at the “in" opening. If your trap
is at the “in” opening—nothing do-
ing! Brer Mink will pass on to
some other den.

Stretching Furs for Best Results

In stretching a fur, I draw the
loose skin near the tail around and
over the edge of the stretching board,
fastening it was a tack on the side the
legs at tacked to. This shows up the
fur much longer than if the loose
skin is allowed to cure loose.

I always stretch a fur the second
time, loosening the tacks and re-
stretching it after removing the fat
and meat from it, pulling it into
shape and tacking it the first time.
This does not enlarge the pelt but
spreads it, over more suface, adding
considerably to its appearance and
value.

I have very thin stretching boards
which allows the skin to spread out
wide and long, showing up large.
These boards are also neatly dressed
down all over, and the furs left right
on them till they are sold. The skins
show up much better on the boards
than after they are removed, and
will command a higher price. The
darker the place, the better, for furs,
provided it is dry and cool.

The Selling Side of Trapping

As in all lines of business, the
disposition of your fur products very
largely decides how profitable your
trapping operations will prove, al—
though this selliug proposition is
slighted by many an unwise trapper.

As a rule, I secure from my local
dealer almost as much for my furs
as though I shipped them myself, and
I have no risks whatever to run. By
“risks” I mean, that one sometimes
gets less for his furs than the fur
circulars promise—~or appear to prom—
ise. The trouble is, your furs will
not grade as high as you perhaps
think they will, and as a consequence
you do not receive as much for them
as you figured, although you may re-
ceive all they really are Worth in the
market. ,

However. where one cannot secure
a reasonable price for his furs from
his local dealer, they may be shipped

3 With good profit Ship your first con—
’ signments with instructions to the-

dealer to hold your furs separate till
remittance is made for them; then, if

. prices are not satisfactory, you can
> demand the return or the furs. lAn-

other good plan is to send your first
