reiterating their faith. in
organization and pledging
anew their support of the Detroit Milk Com-
mission, the third annual meeting of the Mich-
igan Milk Producers’ Ass’n passed into history
as the organization ’s most successful and har—
monious convention. Between five and six
hundred delegates and members were present
representing every county within the Detroit
area and many counties outside of the area.
Prior to the convention there were rumors of
discontent, and it was whispered about that
some fireworks would. be discharged, but noth—'
ing happened to disturb the peacefulness or
harmony of the meeting. A new constitution
and by-laws were adopted with practically, no
discussion, and the recommendations of the
nominating committee that the old officers be

 

"re-elected met with unanimous approval from

the members. There were some minor changes
in the personnel of the board of directors, but
these, too, satisfied the rank and file . 0f the
members. ' - ,
" The only friction which arose during the en—
tire meeting was over a suggestion offered by

the resolution committ'ee'that~ the association ’

request the Detroit Milk, COmmission to fix the

price per point ofteSt over the' 3.5,1basis ac-

cording to the currentprices ,of .butter fat.

The request was made as a protection for _ the '
owners of breeds producing milk of a high'

butter fat content ,who claim thatthey are be-
ing "discriminated against under, the, present
arrangement. The-suggestion precipitated con-
siderable discussion and oppositiOn from the
Holstein people, who, predominating in num-
bers, defeated the proposal. ‘PriCes in the De-
troit area are made on the 3.5 per cent butter

fat basis, with a’differential of414c for each ’

abuses existing between the producer and the
condensaries. Scores of farmers voiced their
complaints over the tests that had been made
by the condensaries to which they sold. 'li‘arnr
ers in all parts of the hall declared that they
were being cheated. on their test right along,
and that there was no way they knew of by
which they could secure a fair test. President
N. P. Hull agreed that there were causes for
complaint and promised that; the matter would
be gone into and a. remedy sought.

The splendid address of President Hill] who
told what had been done and suggested what
should. be done will be found on the following
page.

Milo (iampbelhwith his characteristic punch
and vigor, dwelt upon the. necessity of greater
organization among the farmers, and showed
how the future of the dairy business depended
to a large extent upon a large and influential
business organization.

“The problems of the Michigan milk pro-
ducers do not begin to compare with the prob-
lems of the producers of other states. You are
getting more for your milk than any other
milk producers’ association north of the Mas—
on-Dixon line. That didn’t just happen. It
means that some one has been doing some-
But you appreciate this as much as I

tyso much manifested toward this organiza-
tion.

“You must stay organized. When I read
that a price-fixing committee is to be named to
cut down the high cost of living, to begin at
what he
should pay for food products and then come
doWn to the farmer and tell him what he must
sell for, I begin to see more clearly than ever

God for that. Anil the farmers

to. The passage of daylight saving repeal
over the president‘s veto shows the mighty
power of organized farnu-rs when working in
unison.

cultural College, who has conducted investigations for a number of
years into the cost of producing milk. Prof. Anderson says the milk
producer is not a profiteer, and he has the figures to convince the
most exacting jury that his statement is correct. Prof. Anderson pre-
sented some of these figures in- an address before the Milk Produc-

ers" ConventionatEast Lansinglast‘weck. 'A survey in. Livingston ~

Prof. Anderson made it clear that milk producers of the Detroit
area might be called upon to testify before a grand jury as to the
cost of producing milk, and he submitted the above figures to show
that there was authentic evidence at hand showing that the farmers
were not: profiteers. ,

“Look the world square in the face,” said Prof. Anderson.
“There is nothing to 1-be ashamed of. You have performed a really
patriotic service in producing food during the war under such con-
ditions and receiving such small returns. In times that are to come
you will receive your reward, if you will only be patient, conserva-
tive, considerate and fair.” ‘

change. They have hired Mr. Bush-
more for their manager. Mr. Rush-
more is a farmer who has had sev—
eral years experience in the potato
handling business.

Another association, the Gladwin
Elevator Company, at Gladwin, has

, been organized, with a membership

of 400 members. They are preparing
to handle everything which the farm-
ers of that section have to market.
They have joined the exchange and

expect to get under operation in a

short time.

~ An association also has been 01‘-
ganized on the Old Mission Peninsu-
la. They have been purchasing sup-
plies for some time and recently teck
out a membership in the Potato
Growers Exchange. On this peninsu-
la the farmers sold 55,000 cases of
cherries to the Case & Martin Pie Co. .,
of Chicago, last summer, for $3.11
pd‘ crate. This sale was brought
about through the co— operation of
the farmers-and their county agricul-
tural agent. These farmers have sev-
eral cars of apples and potatoes to
market this fall.

Alpena County has a county—wide"
associatton which has united with
the Exchange, and members are
loading potatoes at five points in the
county. The farmers of that county
have several hundred cars of hay to
sell this year, as well as.1arge quan—
tities of potatoes. Most of the pro-
duce and hay raised in this county

‘Will be marketed through the asso-

ciations. All of these associations in

Thompsonville Farmer’s Co-ppera-

cently with a membership‘of 48 and
expects to- start business right away,
so it can get the benefit of ~co—opera-
tive marketing this fall.- There are

‘several good live associations in Ben-

zie County, ’where the farmers are
receiving more for their crops by
marketing their produce in this way.

The large Farmer’s (lo-operative

Association at Freemont has‘ just re-.

cently joined the Central Exchange.
This association is one of the most

.successful associations in the state

and will do a business which will
reach close to one million dollars this
year.

Mr. Dorr D. Buell, president of the
Potato Growers’ Exchange, has just
finished a schedule of conferences for
the local associations in the different
parts of the state.

Workers Plan on A-l Quality

These were conferences of manag-
ers and directors of the locals and
were held in smaller groups so there
would be a larger per cent of the men
present. The first conference was
held in Big Rapids, where 60 took
part in the discussions. The second
conference was held at Cheboygan,
October 10, with about 30 attending,
from Cheboygan, Alpena and Presque
Isle counties. October 11, the third
conference was held in the library at
Mancelona with 40 present from An—
trim and Otsego counties. The
fourth conference was held at Escon-

    

,. , 1
meals. Most of the di’recto s. and
all or the county agents were present,
numbering 64. These men took an
active part in all . discussions. The
last c’onferenceswas held october 17

in the court house in Traverse City,

and was attended by 84 men from An

,trim, Charlevoix, Grand Traverse,

Kalkaslra. Benzie, Wexford and Lee-
lanau Counties. .

At these conferences the proposi-
tions of. standardization of the output
of the locals was thoroughly discuss-
ed to the end that there could be a
more uniform productput out by the
different associations. Quality of
product and pack of'shipment so the
consumer may get more' value for
his moneya'nd‘less waste in freight.
on- produce that is nothing but'a loss ,
when it reaches the market, were
some of the main items taken up.

uality pack is the wat'chword of the
exchange, and the members never
miss a chance to impress the import—
ance of high class produce as the
greatest asset of the associations,
which will mean millions of dollars
for the members of the eXChange who

number 15,000.

All managers of local’associations
are watchful in grading the produce
which is packed by them, lest some
inferior produce gets into the car, for
they understand that the farmer is
now doing his own marketing and
anything which is not up to’ stand-
ard is a. direct loss to the farmer and
member of his. association. As long
as the farmer sold to a local buyer
and did not care what kind of pro-
duce he sold or care what the buyer
did with them after he got his mon-
ey, there was no reputation to build
which would pay him for better pro-
duce, but now the farmer under-
stands that through these associa-
tions he is standing behind his pro-
duce, and is in a position' to build
something valuable for the future:

f ing prices and differences between
: producer, distributor and consumer,
1 with poor success. Prof. Erf claims
. the failure to sustain an arrangement

of this kind was due to the personnel
of the several commissions who have
from time to time been appointed.
In his opinion, the men selected were
with the
producer who as a result became dis-
satisfied with the arrangement.

Prof. Erf also told of the efforts of
enemies to undermine the different
Ohio associations. One such effort
was the organization of a company
which producers not members of the
association were induced to support.
The company eventually failed. ow-

, ing the farmers over $50,000. Prof.

Erf warned the Michigan producers
against supporting any plan which
would weaken the state association.
D. D. Aitken

D. D. Aitken of Flint usually hand-
les his subject without gloves, and
his address before the producers con-
vention-was in keeping with his blunt

- and forceful manner of speech.

“The dairy farmers are to blame

, for any condition that pays them no

profit on their product." declared Mr.
Milton. "1 never got into the habit
of patting a farmer on the back. and

_ I can’t find any excuse for doing so in

the present situation. The condition
that exists today does not reflect
much. credit on the dairymen of thh

Address by Prom N. P. Hill

“What has been done. what should
be done. Briefly, the thing. that has-
been done, or the thing that we
have been trying to do is to revolu-
tionise the old industrial System as
it, applied to the farmer. That in-
dutrial system ever since you and I
knew anything, about industrial sys-
tems has pro-supposed that the farm- .
or should work hard and someone
else should determine the value 02“
that labor by fixing the price his~la~
bor created. Just as long as this
system goes. on, the people who fix
the price will take care of their own
interests-and the farmer will‘receive
what is left regardless of whether he
receives a fair recompense for his,
labor or not. It isn't right. Abso-
lutely, it isn’t right; isn’t fair to the
farmer, to his wife and children; and
to the great industry of agriculture.
Nor, for the best interests of this
great nation of ours. Just as sure as
the sun rises. unless some band of
men with ‘enough initiative. courage
and loyalty to grapple with this sit-
nation and help revolutionize the
present system, but one thing can re-

impurities that existed in the lime-

alone mu." It is estimated that
there are approximately 159 million
acres in the northern and eastern
part; of the United States. They in-
clude the pest and muck deposits
and consist chiefly of decayed or par-
tially decayed water plants that have
grownup and fallen down and been
covered by shallow water. They are
therefore, low in mineral matter and
respond to applications of potash and
phosphorus. Some require lime, and
others do not. If they have been
turned in lie-coiled “hard water,’
lining is usually unnecessary. The
majority of these deposits need more
or less drainage.

Along with the cumulose deposits
it is fitting to consider marl beds.
They are. deposits of amorphous ma-
terial composed largely of either car-
bonate of lime, magnesia. or both,
that lie from a few inches to several
feet below the surface of many of
the muck and peat formations. They
are made up in part of shells of the
lower organisms.

Alluvial Soils

Alluvial soils‘ are those that are
deposited in the overflow areas of
small streams and rivers, and are
frequently spoken of as bottom lands.
The deposits in the larger stream
flood plains. are for the most part
due in texture although they may

 

 

vary somewhat irLthis respect. The
variation is due mainly to the differ-
ence in the rate of the flow of the
water. Swiftly flowing water moves
larger particles than slowly moving
water. Since the velocity of streams.
subject to freshets, will vary greatly
the soil laid down may lie in strata
of different texture. In general the
finest particles are deposited the
farthest back from the bed of the
stream where the movement of the
water is slowest. Alluvial soils, es-
pecially the larger deposits, are pro-
verbially fertile, inasmuch as condi—
tions are favorable for the accumu-
lation of vegetable matter, and in
addition when the streams overflow
their banks fresh material is laid
down; however. the «character of the
material depends greatly upon the
source.

Another formation that is especial—
ly important in Michigan is the river
terrace. These deposits occur along
all the larger streams in the glacial
area and in many instances along
belts where temporary streams ran
during a part of the Glacial Period,
when they cut valleys and deposited
soils. As a rule the soils of these
formations are rather sandy. gener-
ally a layer of gravel is found a few
feet from the surface. In the north—
ern portion of this state the deposits

are less productive than those of the

The consumer should have the right to know
what it costs to produce food. He should also know what it costs to
make clothing, to build apartment houses. to operate transportation
lines. to manufacture shoes, to operate theatres, to build automobiles.
Cleveland shouldgot. the old-dashioned idea out of its head, though.
that the farmer‘s business is any different than any other kind of bus-
iness. It should know that farmers are manufacturing a commodity
for sale to those who want to pay a fair price for it. but not for sale to
those who want to buy it for less than cost of production.
rules of ethics and economics that apply to industrial enterprises apply
with equal torch and justice to agricultural enterprises and vice versa.

soils differ from residuary deposits
derived from limestone in that they
contain large quantities of lime. Wigi
the exception of the old lake bed in
eastern Michigan there are no large
areas that contain carbonate of lime
in the surface soils except as frag-
ments. The parent rock or glacial
material has weathered so much that
the small particles have washed out.
Wind-Formed Soils
Wind has been a potent factor in
soil distribution. It has covered ap‘

differences in drainage or other con-

in the United States is grown in these
soils. -
Lake-Formed Soils
Soils flint were deposited in lake
beds are called lake formed. As the
great mass of ice melted in the glac-
iated region enormous quantities of
water were formed. Many tempor-

ary glacial lakes of widely different ‘

sized areas resulted. The most not-

able was Lake Agassiz, now the Red 1

River basin, which covers upwards
of 110,000 square miles. In addition
the Great Lake Basin formerly com—
prised more extensive areas than at
present. It is estimated there were
4, 000 lakes in Connecticut just af—
ter the period of glaciation while
there now exist approximately 1,500.
It is said there are 8,000 lakes in
Minnesota. one half of which will be

The soils deposited in the larger
lakes, on the whole. are uniformity

wise the fertility of the soil deposit:—

" It is our recommendation that the
governor of the state appoint a spec-
ial commission, made up of cost ex—
perts, not farmers, but selected pref--
erably from the industry where the
scienCe of cost investigation has been
most highly developed and that: they
be assigned to. some small county in
the state, say Morrow County, where
the production is almost exclusively
agricultural in the way of base food
items, and where the operations are
carried on under average comiitibns.

Let this commission be empowered
to take testimony under oath. make
observations and apply their science
of cost finding to every operation and
element that goes to make up cost.—
iucluding labor, material. interest, ml
investment and administrative
charges. This investigation would
not be for the purpose of exposing
the farmei as a prolitfieer ii might be
found by this commission that the
farmer was not receiving enough
profit. Let this investigation be en—
tirely friendly to the farmer.

It is our suggestion that after
these base costs of production are de-
termined by this commission of cost
experts. that a permanent cost com-
mission be established in the state

And to be known as e. bureau of costs.

SHEEP IN N. E. MICHIGAN

C. E. Burtless, a southern MiChi-
gan sheep breeder, who has~been

making use of the rich pasture lands,

of northeastern Michigan during the
past three or four years for the pas-
turing of his herds during the sum-
mer months. has purchased the An-
derson ranch of 2,360 acres, located
not far from Prescott, and proposes
toget into the game in northeastern
Michigan on a scale heretofore not
attempted by any one in the business
int-hat section of the state.

By'making use of other tracts

which he will lease, Mr. Burtless in—
tendsto have’flocks of 15,000 to 18,—
000‘shee'p in northeastern Michigan
nextasumme‘r and he intends, here—
after, to winterin the neighborhood
of.\1_0,000 ewes.
' He. says that 200 acres of land

all
the sheep that he can handle
through the winter, so great is its
fertility and its special adaptability
to the raising of clover.

Mr. Burtless in the past few
years has pastured sheep in ranch-
es in Clare, Ogemaw. Iosco and other
counties and he says that he now
knows what can be done in a big way

‘ and he is going to do it.

This last season he had a large
flock on cut over lands near Prescott
and last week be shipped from that
point an entire train lead of “feed-
ers." The shipment was so large, for
this section of the country, that the
Northeastern Michigan Development
Bureau had moving pictures taken of
the process of loading and shipping
the animals and these pictures to-
gether with some others taken on
northeastern Michigan ranches will
soon be shown in some of the movie
theatres of this and adjoining states.

“The use of moving pictures to
advertise its farming possibilities has
been carried on by the Canadian
northwest for some time.” said sec-
retary Marston of the Development
Bureau, “and our views are going to
show a diversity of posibilities in
farming and ranching which are im-
possible on great Canadian lands.”

Pea Growers Meet ,

The Pea Growers for the W. R.
Roach & Company canning factory
at Kent City got together recently
and formed a permanent organiza-
tion to look after their interests. Guy
W. R. Curtiss was elected president
and Victor E. Peterson, secretary.
David Neff, W. 0. Holmes and Nels
Anderson were elected on a commit-
tee to assist them in the Work.

Pea growing was thoroughly dis-
cussed. It was found that it costs
$28 to raise and harvest an acre of
peas, counting the labor and use of
the land only. To this must, be add-
ed $12 for the cost of the seed. Noth-
ing was charged for fertility remov—
ed from the soil by the crop or for
depreciation of machinery, etc. Only
the growers present received returns
sufficient to pay the cost of produc—
tion‘this year.

The growers were convinced that
they could not raise peas at a profit
for three cents per pound and agreed
that they would not and could not
grow any peas nextflseason for less
than four cents per pound with a $3
per bushel charge for the seed.

Grand Traverse Farmers Report Re-
turns from Cucumber Crop

Michigan is a good cucumber state.
Occasionally dry weather or early
frost puts a crimp in the crop, but in
the majority of years it‘ is a good cash
crap and pays a fair profit. The sea—
son of 1919 was an exceptionally

good one and most of the farmers‘

were satisfied with their returns. A
Buckley correspondent writes us on
the subject as follows: “I am send-

counties. ”
The report submitted shows that
$2 839.58 was paid out to the farm-
ers in the immediate vicinity of
Buckley. The production per acre
averaged from 50 to- 100 bushels. The
largest acreage per farm reported
was four acres. Andrew Anderson
received $247.09 from two acres;
Mrs. W. H. Gaswell, $304.43 from
one and three-fourths acres; Grill &

Anna Johnson, $100.21 from one
acre; Mrs. ‘ Peter Paffhausen,
$106.18 from one . acre; Jerome

‘ Reamer, $187.68 from one acre; Zue

Richard, $171.06 from two acres.
These show the highest receipts per
acre, but practically every grower in
the section averaged better than $50
per acre, showing that

Milk Producers 'Are Investigated.

. S A RESULT of charges submitted: by the
Republican Clubof Detroit, the attorney—
general is investigating the methods of. fixing
milk prices in the Detroit area. The Republi-
can Club accuses the DetroitMilk. Commission
of being partial to the producers and biased in
its decisions. It declares that the distributors
and producers are in a combination to fix and
control the prices of milk without due regard
to-the interests of the consumer.

Anyone familiar with the personnel and de-
cisions of the commission knows how utterly
baseless these charges are. At no time since the
commission was named has it increased the
price to the producers without the most. exact
ing proof that such increaseiwasnecessary to
intact mounting costs of pmdnction. On several
occasions the commission has, in fact, refused
to grant the price asked, by the. producers be-
cause it meant raising "the price of milk to the

. consumer. Because'of the commission’s rigid
adherence to an equal consideration for each
party oonwrncd it hasxprohably: receive-diners-
complaints from producers than from consuma

~ ors. We are sure that the attorney-general’s
investigation will disclose plenty of evidence

that there is-“no. cause for action.” ,

Nevertheless, filo complaint and the investi:
grationshows that the position of the prenlhcersr
is not altogether secure. Any concerted oppo-
sition from the consumerswf Detroit ordissat-
isfaction in the mnks.of: tlmrprodncers theme
selves will topple the arrangement, over and

Ihe producers may find themselves in a posi-

iion where it is not‘soeasy to maintain uni-

Has the. Industrial Conference-Jailed? a

, ABOR HAS walked out of the industrial:

' conference in a huffi, 'and-~the~first attempt; ,
to arbitrate national differences: between nay
tional employer and em‘ployc‘and establish a'
satisfactory industrial :policy. has. apparently -
met with failure. ;

Labor demanded the right of collective bar-
gaining. It argued that the‘ employer should-
agrce to treat with representatives of «organize
ed labor Whetherrthese treprcsentativeslwere di-

, rectly or indirec’dy the choice of the employee.
represented. The employers’ group conceded -

the right of collectives' bargaining,-——with lim-.
'itations. It agreed to a‘ecogniZe theright ofa .
group of laboring mom in a certain factory to
name their own spokesmen to lay their grieve
ances before their employer, and held the em-
ployer morally bound to discuss these griev~
ances with Such spokesmen. It was unalter—
ably opposed, however, to recognizing spokes-
men other than the direct choice of the com-
plaining employes. .

Of course, organized labor could not accept
such a proposal- as this, for it meant .in effect,
the end of the powerful. union labor organiza-
tions- -

0n the other hand, capital is not to be-alto-
gather blamed for'refusing to put its head in

the lion’s jaws, for as;surely as the sun rises

and sets the adoption Iota national policy
recognizing'thc right of a labororganiration‘to
dictate the terms of employment mall the big
industrial plants would virtually place ailin-
dustry atthc mercy of labor officials.

W said that this old- world Was
growing worse every day,

that men were all selfish and the

milk of human kindness had run ,

dry! The above theory. has been re-

futed a thousand times very recently

in the examples of human faith, love
and kindness shown in the‘ Luikhart
children case.

Every mother in the state. yes and
every father too, has skipped his fav-
orite section of the daily paper to
learn of the progress of this wonder-
ful case. Surely the days of miracles
are not past ! It was thru no wrong
doing of these little children that

they were made to suffer, but rather.

large enough to do any damage. It
is not only cheaper to have them car—
ed for early, but less painful,- and it
.is not too early to begin cleansing
the teeth just as soon as they appear

in an infant. A small pellet of
cotton may be used first, soaked in
a solution of boric acid. This will

sweeten the child’ s mouth and cleanse
the film from the teeth. As soon as
the child is old enough. which is us-

brushing their own teeth with a
tiny brush, just like mother does, and
it is not hard thus early in life to

who had brooded over her in-
ability to satisfy her every wish
and desire until her reason had
become unbalanced.

There is a lesson for every
mother as well as every woman
of the land in the story of these
children. It’s the fretting over
things which can’t be helped,
the false value placed on the
material things of life; the dis—
satisfactions because of position
and wealth which cause more
misery and suffering than all
the real hardships which man
is heir to and which will event~
ually unbalance the human
mind, if indulged in continual-
ly.

Perhaps the suffering of
these little babes shall not
have been in vain if we learn
our lesson from the faith of
the father and the doctor’s ,
good wife, who, in spite of
every report to the contrary.
still believed that these inno—
cent little children would live.
And what of the willing sacri-
fice of the man who gave of his
life’s pure, healthy red blood
that new life might flow into
the veins of these children and
finally the generosity of the
people who helped the father
bear the burden imposed upon
his finances through the hospi—

a, new faith, a new love and a deter-

they come from hour to hour; not
looking backward or anticipating,
but just taking each day’s and each
hour’s tasks as they come.

“Any one can carry his burden,

If food lodges betWeen the .teeth
and cannot be dislodged with the
brush then dental floss should be
used, or if this is not on hand, use
a thread, never pins. as they are li-
able to injure the enamel.

In the city schools a regularly reg-
istered dentist examines the teeth of
all pupils regularly, but in the rural
schools where this service is not to
be had, the parents must take extra
care.

Toothache is due to decay and to
food entering the cavity of a tooth
where it decomposes and causes irri-
tation and pain of the sensitive
nerves. If the_cavity can be reached,
it should be cleanedout. afterwards
putting in something to deaden the
nerve until a dentist can be visited.
To clean it out, twist a very small
piece of cotton around a tooth pick
and put in the hole of the tooth,
twisting it around and around until
the cavity is thoroughly'cléansed;
AfterI the cavity. has been cleansed
out, a small application of- oil of
cloves on cotton. placed well down,
into the cavity will usually stop the
aching. If you haven’t oil of cloves
on hand, absorbent cotton soaked in
spirits of camphor and placed in the
cavity, while causing an intense burn-

“Economy holds first place,

plain. The greater. the sum total

community officials, the less there is

market-has been astrnngly zbesieged
by the bears for the past two months
and the present low prices are due
to no other cause than'the determin-
ed efforts of the - speculators to
ridrive prices down. But the bot-tom
has been reached, and they all know
it. The corn market from now on
we predict, will be in the control of

things easy and are not too anxious
to sell, prices should go up .where
they belong by the flrstof flier year.
