Acquittal of Chicago Milk Producers a Victory for Collective Bargaining

HE OFFICIALS of
the Chicago Milk Pro-
ducers’_Ass’n who have been

' ontrial since September 16,

on the charge of conspiring
to fix the price of milk in

' Cook County, have been ac-

quitted. The verdict is of‘ far-
reaching consequence and
will be received with great
satisfaction by millions of
farmers all over the United
States who have placed their
hope 30f ' future profits in
their recognized authority to
bargain collectively and fix
the’ selling prices of their
products.

_ The Chicago trial grew out
of a long series of clashes be—
tween producers and distrib-
utors of. milk in the former’ s
efforts to secure a fair liv-
ing price. These troubles

had their real beginning back

in,1916 when theproducers

headed farmers attempted to
prevent other farmers from

What is Needed in Michigan
HERE IS much similarity between the case just

of Ludington,

a few months ago in the city

Mich... except in the latter instance the prosecuting'

officials were more chalitable and let the farmers
off with a warning. The farmers supplying Lud-
ing‘ton with 111ilk formed an association and voted
in open meeting to charge the consumer a price
based on the cost of production. \Vhen the price
of milk was raised as a. result of this agreement
there. was a great huh-bub, and the power of the
law came down on the backs of the unsuspecting
farmers like a ton of brick. The, prosecuting at-
torney, loath to proceed against. the farmers. asked
the. attorney-general what to do. and Mr. Groes—
beck cited the law and recommended that the as-
sociation be dissolved with a warning “never to do
so again." Referring to the. statute we find that
both the prosecuting attorney of Mason county and
Attorney-General Groesbeck acted' in strict com-
pliance with the law, which for the information of
our readers is published below:

“It shall hereafter be unlawful for two or more per!

sons, firms. partnerships. corporations or associations of
persons, or of any two or more of them, to make or enter
into or execute or carry out any contracts. obligations or
agreements of any kind or description. by which they
shall bind or have bound themselves not to sell, dispose
of or transport any article or any commodity or any art-
icle of trade, use, merchandise, commerce or consump-
tion below a common standard figure or fixed value, or by
which they shall agree in any manner to keep the price
of such article, commodity or transportation at a fixed
or graduated figure, or by which they shall in any manner
establish or settle the price of any article, commodity

so as to directly or indirectly preclude a free and unre-
stricted comtDetltion among themselves, or any purchas—

ers or consumers in the sale or transportation of anysuch

connected with the sale or transportation of any such art—
icle or commodity that its price might in any manner he.
afl’ected. Every such trust as ill defined herein is de-
clared to be unlawful, against public policy and void.”

It is plainly the duty of the business farmers of
this state to elect men to the legislature. who will
so amend this law as to permit them to engage in
collective bargaining, and be placed upon an equal
footing with farmers of other states.

It is well known that‘appreciable

to the numerous large spaces between

the sand occupies may. be termed
“the pore space.” It is also true that

The same principles apply to the
soil, that is to say, the soil isnot a
solid mass. but there are present in—
numerable pores of widely different
sizes and shapes, depending upon the
texture as well as the arrangment of
the soil particles and the degree of
compaction. The pore space in field
soils is filled in part by air and in
part by water. if the water content is
high the amount of air present in. the
space is low, and if the water con-
tent is low the amount of airpres-
out is high. The pore space of a
dry sandy soil is about 30 per cent,
of a loam 40 per cent and a clay soil

National Grange in Session at Grand Rapids

S WE GO to press trains from

and west are pouring delegates
into the city of Grand Rapids to at-

Interest in this session of the Na-

cause 01 the tremendously big eco-
nomic questions that the farmers are
now facing. Whatever action the Na-
tional Grange may take concerning
any of the present day conditions or
issues is apt to have a large effect
upon their solution.

farm women to select a candidate

As will be shown in another chap—
ter, the pore'space in soils may in-
fluence to a remarkable degree sev-
eral conditions that affect crop pro-
duction, such as soil ventilation, the
amount of water,‘ as well as its move-
ments through the soil, root penetra-
tion, etc.

Inasmuch as texture controls to a
large extent the pore space in soils.
it follows that the weight of a given
mass of a dry soil is mainly depend-
ent upon this property. The follow-
ing table shows the weight of differ-
ent classes of soils:

One cubic foot of water weighs,
62 1- 2 pounds; one cubic foot of sand
weighs 90 to 100 pounds; one cubic
foot of silt loam weighs, 75 to -80
pounds; one cubic foot of clay loam
weighs, 6.5 to 75 pounds; one cubic
foot of peat or muck weighs, 25 to 40
pounds; one cubic foot. of compost
weighs, 40 to 50 pounds.

It should be borne in mind that
any condition or set of conditions
that change the pore space and the
vegetable matter content in the soil
likewise changes the weight of argiv-
en volume. The weight of soils un-
der field conditions may be determin-
ed by driving an iron cylinder of
known volume or capacity into the
soil and the same carefully removed.
dried and weighed. The weight of

soils is often expressed in acre feet,"

that is, the weight of soil over one
acre to a depth of one foot. In cal-
culating the amount of plant food, or
the water content in an acre foot of
mineral soils, four million pounds is
taken as their weight, and for the
peat and muck soils one half this
amount is used.

Governor; Let the Farmer do Likewise

that is slowly and quietly working in
this state to bring the farmers to-
gether upon state issues. We be-
lieve that the farmers of Michigan
will cast aside partisanship, jealous-
ies and everything else that hampers
judgment and throw their strength
to the man who finally enters the
race as the “farmers candidate.”

The farm women of Michigan have

already shown their voting strength
on the liquor question. Let us hope
that they will profit by this experi-
ence and show an equal interest in
the next political compaign. A
farmer candidate can easily win with
the support of the farm women.
Without their support he might lose.

HE IRREGULARITIES in the

handling of the 1918 wool clip.

by the government which Milo

Colophon claims resulted in a loss-3 '
of more than $50, 000, 000 to' the,
wool growers of the United" States

were as nothing compared to the
losses that threaten the farmer. as a
result of the policy recently an-

nounced .favoring the importation of

foreign wool into this country: The
Ohio Sheep & Wool Growers’ Ass’n
has announced-that the , National
Ass’n pf Wool Manufacturers have
prevailed upon the United States gov-.
ernment to permit the British gov-
ernment to sell at auction in this
'céuntry'17,000,000'~pounds of the
1919 clip of Australia and New Zea-
land and this is taken as an indica-
tion of what may be the future pol-
icy with respect to the importation of
wool.

The Ohio Assn’ makes the follow-
ing statement:

,“This importation means first:

. British government will be permitted
to sell wool in the United States at
a handsome profit. free from import
duties, or in other words, taxes which
are imposed on American wool deal-
ers and growers. Second, it will have
a decided influence on the prices of
the 1920 clip to the grower and will
be used as a measure to reduce prices.
It is extremely necessary therefore,
that we present our case to Congress
in no uncertain manner.”

The price the wool grower is re-
ceiving for his 1919 clip is not ex-
cessive. In fact, it must be greater
if the American farmer is to be en-
couraged to develop the industry suf-
ficiently to meet all the domestic re-
quirements for wool.
States is normally a large importer
of wools but the 1919 clip will come
the nearest to meeting the require-
ments than any other clip placed on
the market. Large sums of money

' were invested in grazing lands and

flocks during the war and the farm—
ers are prepared to increase produc-
tion enough to fill all domestic de-
mands providing the government
will see to it that their market is not
exploited and destroyed by the
cheaper wools from other cpuntries.

Growers are talking of $1 wool and

point out that this price would mean
in an all new suit of clothes not to
exceed $1 to the consumer, or at
present value less than 10 per cent
of the ultimate cost of a suit of
clothes. .

Truth in Fabric Law

A bill to b known as the “Truth
in Fabric” 111 will be presented to
Congress in December providing that
clothing manufacturers shall use
better grades of wool in so-called
“all-wool clothing.” As explained in
a recent issue of M. B. F, 80 per
cent of the wool now being used in
the manufacture of
shoddy. The public is. therefore be—
ing deceived and\ defrauded and the
grower is deprived of a large mark-
et for his pure wool. Speaking of
the measure aimed to overcome this
evil, Mr..L. F. Malany, secretary of
the National Sheep & Wool Bureau,
says: .

“The Truth in Fabric Law is an
economic measure which will event-
ually reduce the price of‘clothing.

“All the propaganda in the world
will not increase the production of
wool is sheep raising is not made
profitable for the grower.

“There can be no real objection to
legislation that will benefit the pro—
ducer of‘ raw material and the con-
sumer of the manufactured product,
and at the same time affords that
protection to the manufacturer who
has not been practicing deceit or
profiteéring which Will enable him
to rid himself of the competition of
manufacturers who trade on the
other fellow's reputation. .

“Such a law will cause no tremend-
ous upheaval. There will be chang—
ed conditions perhaps, but they will

Why Michigan is Interested in W601 Measures .

raising state. But the majority of her 210,000 farmers graze
from a half dozen to several thousand head. of sheep and the total
At no time has the future of the
wool industry looked brighter than. a few-months ago. Interest in
the industry among the farmers of this state has increased by leaps
and bounds in the past year and a half and thousands have invested
money in lands and flocks for engaging in the business upon a large
scale. But the future does not look quite so secure as it did. The
, domestic market 15 threatened by an invasion of foreign wool which

“Soon business in both these pro-

garine became a progressive business

“Business men in both the butter

Dr. Frank Crane Defends Plumb Rail Plan

HE FOLLOWING article by Dr.

Frank Crane was published in

a recent issue of the Detroit
News. Dr. Crane is one of the clear-
est thinkers and ablest writers of the
day, and his views upon the Plumb
Plan are of great value.

"Say what you please of Glenn E.
Plumb, author of organized labor's
plan for control of the railroads, he
stated his aims before the Congress-
ional Interstate Commerce Commit-
tee, in two theses which are sound.
He said that the purpose of the rail-
road unions is (1) “to eliminate the
motive of operation for profit and
substitute the motiVe of operation for
service." This goes to the root of the
matter. When editors say that the
unions want to operate the railroads
for themselves, and hence are no bet-
ter than the Wall Street gentlemen
who manipulated the roads for them-
selves, it iS‘hardly fair, and seems
like hitting below the belt. Labor is
not wholly self-seeking, any more
than all capitalists are robbers. Some
in each glass doubtless are sordid,
unconscientious and greedy, but the
mass of men are fair, in the direct-
ors’ room as well as in the switch-
yards.

“And there is no doubt that in the
end. transportation, which is the
very veins and arteries of public life,
must be removed from the hands of
any group smaller than the Whole

People. Just as no king, however
good, can be trusted with absolute po-
litical power. so no man, or limited
class of men‘ whether capitalists or
laborers can safely be trusted with the
railways, which are vital to the com-
mon good. Some way, some time, we
the Whole People, must shoulder the
responsibility of the ownership and
control of, and the responsibility for,
this so great and public a business.

“Only we must do it by law and
reason, by co—operation and in good
nature, like Americans and not by
violence and class hate like Bolshe-
viks.

“The other statement Mr. Plumb
made, is that his purpose is democ-
raCy in industry, Without which de-
mocracy in politics is a mere shell
and sham). And democracy means
two things: first, that the people get
what they want, and second, that they
get this in an orderly and construct-
ive way. by representative govern.-
ment, and without violence and de-
struction. ,

No class legislation is democracy.
If the labor unions want class favors
they are not democratic. and are just
as bad as junkers and bureaucrats.

Where Does Bureau Stand on State Issues?

B'.’ FOLLETT, of Hale, Mich,
E who is president of the Iosco
’ County Farm Bureau has sub-
mitted to us the following series of
questions addressed to Mr. C.. A.
Bingham, secretary of the Michigan
State Farm Bureau, with the request
that we publish them together w’th
Mr. Bingham’s reply. The questions
are published below. Mr. Bingham’s
reply will appear in a later issue.

Editor MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARM-
INC; ‘1 wish ”you would get Mr. A. C.
Bingham to answer the following: I
notice. by an advertisement in" the
Busmnss FABMEB‘ under date of Oct.
18th, ~1919..that the Farm Bureau
maintained a committee at Lansing
during the last session of the legis-

lature, _
(1 I Who were the members of.

the

, committee suc-
i

(2) I would like to have a list of
the bills approved.

(3) A list of all bills to which
objection was made. I attended the
meeting of the State Faim Buieau at
Lansing last winte1 representing
Iosco county as I am chairman of cm
county farm bureau. If my memory
serves me right, Hon. Arlie Hopkins,
a member of the last legislature was
appointed chairman of the legisla-
tive committee of the State Farm
Bureau. The legislative record
shows Mr. Hopkins as being opposed
to the terminal warehouse proposi-
tion (or one of the members thatis
afraid to trust the people to vote 'on
this proposition.) ‘ '

From this advertisement of Oét.
18th, it would seem that the terminal
warehouse proposition did not meet
with the approval of the legislative
committee.

(4) Give the reason for oppos-
ing this measure if they did, or how
the committee stood on same.—

“Reworked wool men can have no
real objection to this bill because
it does not in any way restrict the
use of reworked wool in fabrics. It
simply asks that the manufacturer
of a fabric tell the public exactly
what it is. There can be no objection
to legislation that will
producer of a raw material and the
consumer of the manufactured pro-
duct, and which at the same time
will give that protection to the man-
ufacturer who has not been practic~
ing deceit or profiteering, which will
enable him to rid himself of the com-
petition of manufacturers who trade
on the other fellow’s reputation.

“The clothiers‘ relation to the
Truth in Fabric law is simply this:
The manufacturer of clothing puts
his label in the clothing. He is
proud of this label and in his adver-
tising he emphasizes the style, fit
and durability of the garment bear—
ing this label. Durability is no
doubt the vital feature. The man-
ufacturer stands back of his product.
Similarly. the retailer, when he puts
his label in the garment he sells, tells
the public that if the suits bearing
his label do not wear well, they can
be returned. He also stands backof
the merchandise he sells.

“Under such a law, the public will
get exactly what it pays for. The ul—
timate result will be to reduce the
price of clothing. The profits of the
fabric manufacturer, the clothing
manufacturer, and clothing retailer
will not suffer. \Vith any reduction
in price of the fabrics will come a
larger volume of buying of these
fabrics and the wider consumption
will compensate.

“With the increased demand for
virgin wool fabrics will come a bet—
ter demand for wool, a better market
for wool, and increased sheep pro-
duction. With increased sheep pro-
duction will come a greater supply
of wool for the mills. and in conse-
quence a greater supply of clothing to
the public at a lower price, while
more profits will accrue to the man—
ufacturer and distributor.

"No one will suffer. There is no
provision in the bill that says people
must wear virgin wool clothes. It
simply will provide a sliding scale of
values for the consumer to consider
when making his purchase. When
he buys his clothing on that basis, he
is buying with his eyes open.

“He knows what he is getting
when he pays his money for the suit,
and there is no come back. He has
110 kick coming. Today the man who
buys a garment and finds that after
some wear that it is not durable is
justified in making a camplaint be-
cause he was not informed as to the
texture of the cloth when he bought
it. Retailers and manufacturers
(and they are not to blame) have
plenty of such complaints at present.

“Recent events have brought out
more forcibly that the success or
prosperity of one nation or one group
of trades is dependent upon that of
others. They are all correlated. It
therefore, behooves the clothing
manufacturers to invince greater in-
terest in this law. It will enable
them to get at the root Of the mat-
ten and see where troubles with ma-
terials lie.

“This law will p1ove a boon to all
the inter allied industries. It does
not contain a single vicious provis'on.
It is written with utmost fairness to
all, simply an effort to bring about
right principles, truth and honest
dealing in industry.

“Peoplewho cannot _afford to buy
butter all the time will buy olemar-
butter all the time will buy oleomar-
arly people will buy the mixed tabs
‘rics, but the point is that they will
know exactly what they are getting
and this will enable them to' spread
their income so as to make the best
possible ,use of their money.”

' In conclusion. Mr. Malany ,em-
phasized that “all the props dude

in the world will not stimulate the _
production of sheep and wool if the 3

business is not profitebietand we: do

Ogemaw County Forges Ahead

Last spring some of the more pro-
-, greSsiVe farmers of Ogemaw County
' saw the necessity of more co-opera-
, tion. They got together to form a
'County 'Farm Bureau. A member-
ship of about 300 was obtained in a
short time. The board of supervisors
from both the towns and country
united in appropriating a sum of
money to help the organization along.
An organization was formed and a
county agent hired to go on the job
'in the middle of June.

Since that time the work of organ-
iza’tibn of the county has gone on
with much rapidity and results. June
’17. a co-operative consignment of 20,~
000 lbs. of wool was placed with a
commission house for selling. The
_ advance on this wool was approxi~
mately the same and in some cases
more than the producers could get at
home. This advance will be approxi-
mately three fourths of the Selling
price of the wool.

Two marketing associations have
been organized one at West Branch
and one at Rose City, both of which
have given pleasing results. At
West Branch the association bought
-the elevator and has been operating
under excellent management. The
organization has grown from the or-
iginal 50, who first organized, to more
than 150 and members are coming
in every day. Rose City has a small—
er but very lively organization which
means business and has done some
very excellent work. These two or-
ganizations have been instrumental
in holding the price of potatoes up
to the dollar mark at all times this
fall when the surrounding towns they
were selling for 75 and 80 cents, thus
saving the producers of ethe county
' in the neighborhood of from fiive to
six thousand dollars on potatoes
alone this season thus far.

The cream business resulted in div—
idends of from four to six cents per
1b. of butter fat over the general
Michigan price after the costs of
handling was taken out. With the
’ bulk of cream in this county this will
amount to a considerable sum in the
course of aiyear.

Potato Chip Plant for Bay (‘ity

The Phoenix Brewery at Bay City
has passed into the hands of J. L.
Mossner who will convert it into a
cold storage plant and butter and
cheese factory. He also plans erect-
ing a large plant for the manufacture

of potato chips. He recently purchas-
ed the rights for that section of Mich-
igan of the Durnell process 0f potato
chip manufacture which will be used
in the new plant. At present the
only large potato chipmanufactory is
located at Cadillac, but the market for
this product has now become so large
that it is fe‘i a second plant can be
supported in this state. The Bay City
plant will furnish an outlet for large
quantities of small potatoes from
Northeastern Michigan.

Trunk Line Contracts Let

One of the largest contracts let by
the State Highway Department under
the new state road law is for the con-
struction of several miles of road in
Bagley and Otsego Lake townships,
Otsego County‘ and in Frederic and
Grayling townships, Crawford Coun-
ty. This will close up a considerable
gap between Gaylord and Grayling
and is a part ofthe surveyed route
of the “Over the Top” trunk~line
which will connect Bay City with
Mackinaw city along the general
route of the Michigan Central.

Farmers’ (Jo-operative Unions

The Farmers’ Co-operative Union
movement. which was started in Bay
County early last spring, is spreading
rapidly. Ten townships in Bay Coun-
ty have been organized, and reports
come that isolated townships in other
counties have embraced the Union’s
principles. Upon the request of the
Bay County Union, M. B. F. will pub-

lish regularly the date-sot the ineet~
ings" of the ' several unions. .Until fur-

ther notice thefollow'ing unions will .

hold regular meetings every two
weeks beginning Saturday, November
15th: ,Monitor, .Kawkawlin. Williams
Monitor, Frankenmuth', Beaver, Mer-
ritt, Mt. “Forrest. *Hampton,‘ Ports-
mouth. Every member of the above

unions is urgently requested to meet

at the regular plac and hour of meet-
ing on Saturday, ov. 15th. ‘

Annual Meeting of Farmers’ Clubs

The'annual meeting of Michigan
State Association ’of Farmers' Clubs
will be held in Senate Chamber. Cap-

Michigan Fruit Growers Convene-at Detroit

The annual meeting of the Michi-
gan State Horticultural Society will
be held at the Statler in Detroit Dec.
2, 3 and 4.

The subject of freight rates will be
dealt with very minutely throughout

the convention. Rates within Michi-g

gan are not on an equal basis and
other states are getting lower rates
into Michigan than Michigan rate is
to them. This discrimination is add—
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the fruit costs Which in the end is
paid by the consumer. Mr. Coombs.
secretary of the Michigan Traffic
League, will tell of the results al-
ready obtained and give outline of the
future plans. Decision in favor of

Average Milk Production ofMichigan

OUR thousand five hundred
F pounds of milk per year is com-

monly“ answered to this problem
which is a very difficult one to an-
swer with any degree of accuracy. At
best only an estimate could be given
as it is difficult to get figures upon
_ which to base such a calculation. The
only figures available are those from
the 13th United States census which
ShOWS that on April 1. 1910, there
were 767,083 dairy cows here and
for the year ending December 31_
1909, the total milk reported as pro-
duced'in the state was 283,387,201
gallons. On this basis, allowing 8.4
pounds per gal, the average yearly
milk production in Michigan was a
trifle over 3,100 pounds per cow in
1909. It may be readily appreciated.
however, that these figures are only
approximations and it is impossible to
te'l how close they come to the actual

production. _Many of theSe so-called .

dairy cows are not worthy of the
name and are simply classed as such
because they give milk.
the. figures as reported to the census
takers are often far from accurate as

‘ very fewof thefarmers keep records "
and many report. only milk sold ’in- .
*stead of total production. :The work '

on cost. of milk production disclosed

' the fact that only,75% to 80% of .the

~ ihilk‘ produced in‘some' of the Icon-
z ‘densary and market milk-producing

sections sis- sold, the balance being '
arm. 'Tlie‘ggr'eat increase

stress

_ Then too"

have exerted a marked influence on
the average production per cow so
that there should be a steady rise in
the figures during the past ten years,
as will, no doubt, be shown in the
census. of 1920.

A summary of the records of eight
Michigan Cow Testing Associations
for a period of one year each shows
that: 72,116 cows, the total number
included, had an average production
of 6,721 pounds of milk per year. Sim-

shippers has just been
the “South Bend Case.”

The subject of Spraying has many
new phases and surprising results
have been obtained. Mr. Dutton of M.
A. C._ has had active charge of the
experiments carried on by the col-
lege and is well qualified to, speak on
this subject. The best talent from
several other states has been secured
and this meeting will be the‘most im-
portant one from a growers’ and
shippers: standpoint ever held.

All available space has been allot-
ted the manufacturers of insecticides.

vations are being received by hotels
daily and a large attendance is as-
sured.

Test Your Cows

I .
HE 1910 CENSUS shows that the average annual production

of milk per cowin Michigan was 3,100 pounds.
the average production has increased enormously. Back in 1910
very few farmers knew-the difference between the “boarder” and
the producer. Many Cows were fed along for milk produCtion that
might better have " gone to slaughter. But thanks to our ’agricul-.
tural colleges and, extension deparments, the milk lt9§tfi§5he§n in-

many farmers arerlearnin‘g for the first time the. difference between
.a cow that’merely looks good and one that is good. , The short test ‘
has accomplished wonders alongthis line. This test which is now
under the fire of a few theorists is defended by D.,D. Aitken-Vin a

Minnesota Potato Car Situation Bad

There: has been a better tone in
the potato market this’week. A good
demand has been evident and operat—
ors are shipping all cars available.
The movement. however, has been
limited on account of the scarcity of
refrigerator cars. Some were‘sliip—
ping in box cars/lined with weather-
proof paper, but if it should turn
colder this protection would not be
complete.

The car situationmhas developed
into a really serious matter in regard‘
to the shipment of potatoes. The
weather isxsuch that it is not safe to
use ordinary box cars without dang-
er of having frozen potatoes. Re-
garding refrigerators, W. C. Watrous.
Superintendent of Transportation for
the Great Northern Railroad, said‘
this week that there were none avail-
able and he'could not say. when there
would be any. With such a situa-
tion here the shipment of potatoes
has becomea problem. Then, too,
there'are some operators who ”have
hundreds of bushels in temporary
warehouses that'are not frost-proof -
and used only through - the fall
months. - , .

the community join theSe organiza- .
tions. Moreover these figures come
principally from market milk-produc-
ing or condensary districts where
dairying is an important if not the
main issue with the farmer and in
the outlying districts where dairying
is practiced less iITtensively. and in .
more haphazard fashion, the average
production would be far below these
figures. .

An examination .of the three years’
work in cost of production in the
Howell territory shows that the av-
erage production per cow during all
'that time was 7311 pounds of milk
per year. .

On the farms under investigation
during this time. 13 herds, including
222 cows, fell below 6,000 pounds per
year on an. average; 37 herds, includ-
ing 633 cows, averaged between 6,000
and 8,000 pounds in annual produc-;
'tion;‘ 21 herds, including 347 cows,

Farmers and the Railroads

l THE PRESENT attitude of the farmers

toward the railroads is that “they don’t
" give a hang what becomes of them.” It is hard-
_ 1y a logical attitude’for a classof people who
pay the biggest share of the freight bills and
, are taxed on everything they sell as well as
i éverything they buy. The present special ses-
. sion of Congress will come to an end in four
weeks’ time and it‘is almost certain that it will
7 take Some action for the disposal of the rail-
; roads before its adjournment. .
There are two bills which are receiving the
2 serious attention of the country. One of them
I is the Plumb plan which provides for a semi-
: government—owned and public-operated sys-
‘tem. This plan proposes that eventually the
' workers shall own the railroads but that the
5 public shall have a voice in the management
1 and will retain the power to regulate rates.
j The National Grange is opposed to the Plumb
‘ plan on the ground that it puts the transporta-
' tion of the country in the control of the work-
. ers. Inasmuch as the workers now have vir-
. tual control of transportation and will always
1 have something to say about wages, working
’ conditions, etc., the objection of the Grange is
7'- n’ot well-founded. The question is whether it

is better for the transportation system to be in

l

. the. unregulated control of the workers or
' whether or not the country should agree to

. , sbme arrangement with the railmen which will

, give the government legal power to prevent the
. workers from abusing their control. Some op-
. ponents of the Plumb plan put it down as So—
! cialistic and let it go at that. They refuse to
, discuss at all its many merits. The plan has
. not met with the enthusiastic support from the
* public which its proponents expected and it is
; quite apparent that the country is not quite
, ready for that kind of rail control.

The other bill which has the backing of the
‘. holders of rail securities and other powerful
j financial interests is the Cummins bill which is
; receiving rather favorable attention from

"2 members of Congress. It authorizes the imme—

; diate return of the railroads to the private
i owners and would increase rates enough to
. guarantee the companies six per cent divi-
dends on their claimed capital. Opponents of
.this bill assert that several billion dollars of
the money which the companies claim to have
invested represents watered stock, and have

, produced pretty fair evidence to bear out this

' content'mn. They protest against the public

3! paying further dividends on Watered stock and

. argue that the roads could be run with pro-war
.eflicieney and profit, providing wasteful com~

without an increase in rates.
The Farmers’ National Council says of the
7 ummms bill:

 

  
   
  

 

will rosult ln a tremendous increase in

. ,. .. .‘The railroad excepting finds-,Stoclfip

the farmers Who. pays the :lrclght both my. stand
torithat? - The return at mammal. also means

that the old discrimination against farmers will

start again. Can the farmers stand {or that??? 1
The Cummins bill practically insures the
companies a six per cent dividend regardless

, of the extravagance; practised in operating.

As a matter of fact it actually encourages ex-
travagant management. The: higher the ex-
pense of operating the greater will be the pro-

fits. The bill provides for a government com- .

mission which is supposed to scrutinize'such
practices as this, but its ability to discover and
prevent them is open to question. No one can
deny that such ascheme would be of great val-

» no to holders of railroad securities; - But there

is another party who must be taken into .con-
sideration. That isthe public which pays the
bills.

The country is not prepared to accept either
of these two measures as a satisfactory solu—
tion to the, rail problem. The alternative is to
continue government operation for another
two years. Then we shall know better what to
do. '

“The Old Man”

IONCE heard a strapping young farmer refer

to his father as “the old man.” I took one
look at him and beat it. I had no desire to hear
him talk about “the old woman.” One ’can
scarcely believe his ears when he occasionally
hears the words that come from the lips of
children, many of whom are old enough to
know better, about the mother who struggled
with death that they might live and the father
who stood by in anguish as the crisis came and
passed. Every day boys and girls are coming
into manhood and womanhood and leaving the
old home. Some of them are glad to go. Home
was a‘ hard place after all. Mother was always
scolding and father was a hard master. Yet, I
say that no mother or father has said goodbye
to their departing offspring without a heart-
ache. Their thoughts go back over the years to
the night when the'son or daughter came, and
the hard realities of life which callous many a

kind heart fade away for the moment‘before '

happier recollections. But parents are not the
only ones to think of other days. The son and
daughter go out into the world. Dreams and
ambitions are soon replaced by actualities and
the cold necessity of making a living. For the
first time they learn to know the meaning of
responsibility. They may learn the meaning.
of hunger. In time they may know what it
means to rear and care for a family. Then in
nearly every case’thcir thoughts wander back
to childhood days and it all seems clear to
them why father was sometimes moody and
cross and why mother, weary with a burden
they did not then understand, was fretful and
found fault. But often this complete under-
standing docs not come until after father and
mother are laid away under the Sod. Then it
is too late to do anything but repent for
harsh thoughts and words. As compared
with the total span of life the period of
years in which parents and their children may
have each other’s association is all too short
and they ought to use great care that no
discord enters to mar the beauty of the com.
panionsliip. What is more pleasing in the eyes
of God or man than a happy family circlc
where parents rule their children with love
and tenderness and children love, respect and.
obey their parents. Out of such a circle as this
there are born no vain regrets which follow-
others to the verge of the grave.

In these days of trouble when. the world’s

What Happens When You Sell the Farm
M ANY FARMS are changing hands in
Michigan this year. Farmers who have
grown tired of hard'work and bucking up
against obstacles are going to try a. whirl of it
in the city. A considerable number of farmers
who have come in contact with the- giddy life
of the city have soon lost their money in poor
investments or speculations and find them—

selves without friends, funds or home. ‘
All sorts of troubles are ahead of the farmer
who sells the old home and begins to take life
“easy.” The first thing that happens now
which didn’t happen before the war, the fed—
eral tax collector steps up and pockets a good—

ly share of the proceeds of the 8316. Did, you ,

ever think about that? For instance: Back
in 1913 your farm was worth, say $10,000.
Your improvements and the natural increase in
land values make its present worth $15,000.
Suppose you sell it. "Will you have $15,000 to
salt away or invest? Oh, nO—o! $5,000,-or the
increase in value over 1913 is “income.” More-
over, it is net income, and the chances are that
every penny of it is subject to the federal in-
come tax. So if you sell the farm, make up
your mind that you must divide part of your
proceeds with Uncle Sam; ,.

Bonus to Soldiers

C ONGRESSMAN J. M. C. Smith of Michi-

gan, has introduced a bill to pay a bonus
to soldiers in the form of Liberty bonds. The
danger to our financial structure attendant up-
on the issuance of five billions of bonds which
would be put into immediate circulatidn, has
already been discussed in these columns. The
purpose of the congressman's bill is laudable.
Some further compensation'should be paid to
soldiers for the time they put in the service.
The government cannot at this time appropri-
ate such a huge sum of money from the nation—
al treasury. It is not safe to issue more bonds
or otherwise greatly increase. the circulating
media at this time. The only alternative is a

pension running over a period of five or ten

years. This pcnsionoould be paid without vis-

ibly increasing taxes or the cost of living. Un- '
der all circumstances it. is to be preferred to a ,

lump sum bonus. .

unrest among the workers. Maybe Father

L. WHITNEY WATKINS FOR GOV-
. ERNOR

There is. as you ,know. a public
sentiment demanding that Michigan’s
next governor shall be selected from
the practical farmer of our state. In
view of the great importance that ag-
riculture possesses in the welfare or
our citizens it seems but just that
from its ranks a man should be se-
lected for the important duties of
governor. My personal acquaintance
with Hon. L. Whitney Watkins of
Manchester, Jackson - county, leads
me to believe that he is the right
man to be the next governor of hlich—
igan. Hon. Milo D. Campbell assures
me that Ma. Watkins is the right man
for. Governor and that he will aid in
securing his electiOn. I_ trust that
“Business Farming” will advocate

ONE farmer Wi‘ites, “We have plowed more than a thousand
acres of good, heavy soil, and plowed it deep, too—abow seven
inches. We have run the traétor weeks on end, day and night,
during the busy plowing and disking season. We have disked
hundreds of acres, baled hundreds of acres of hay, pulled grain
drills, sawed wood, ground feed, and even hauled grain to
market. In fail, we have used our traéior for almost every kind
of farm work where power is required, and it has given a good
account of itself in every position. 80 it certainly deserves the
best oil I can get, one that is absolutely'uniform and specially
durable. I, like my neighbors, have therefore come to Texaco
Traitor'Oil. There’s nothing like it for keeping the tractor in
condition to save man power. Besidesfit’s easy to buy. All you
have to lock for is the red Star and green T.” For frié’cion re—
duétion, for dependable lubrication, for economy, you too
should come to this quality oil. If you try it once, you’ll use it
thereafter. Supplied in wooden barrels and half barrels; I 5, 3 3,

engaged.

Probably her best known poem is
“Laugh and the \Vorld Laughs with
You.” This poem has been translat-
ed into every language and circulat-
ed and read throughout the world.
The first stanza .is of course most
quoted:

“Laugh and the world laughs with

YOU;

Weep and you weep alone;

For this brave old earth must bor—

row its mirth,

And has troubles enough of its own.

Another almost as well knownis
entitled “Worth While.”

“it i' easy enough to be pleasant

When life flows along like a song.

But the man worth while is the

man who (on smile

When 01 erything goes dead wrong.

F01 the test of tht heart is trouble,

And it always (omcs “ith the years

And the smile that is worth the

praises of earth

Is the smile that

tears."

it was in this series of articles. If
an editor can learn from it, surely
we are indeed wise in giving out at-
tention to this very important ques-
tion.
Grafting 1
“No one, except a grafter, desires
to be governed by a grafting official.
Grafting is extravagance personified.
A. grafter robs the public purse——
robs poverty as well as wealth. The

grafter may graft in any, One of.
many ways. or he may at one time ”
graft. in several ways. Taking ad-

vantage of the law, one grafter will
allot to himself a higher compensa-
tion than his services are worth; or
he will mislead those who fix the sal-
ary in believing that the serviCes
rendered are of greater value than
is the case. This is the common way.

“Another, and more crooked ‘t‘ash-
ion, is for the grafting official to
make contracts for material’or label
at piices which allow the contract—
018 to give ”presents” to the graft-
inglofficial.

“A thiid and less usual way is to
falsify accounts; common thievery.
An offihial without honor, and hav-
ing ingenuity in this direction, can
always invent some way to rob the
public.’ Of course there are laws to
safeguard society from being robbed
in this manner; their enforcement
is a matter of an aroused public con-
science.

”One of the best guards against
grafting officials, lies in the selection '

only of officials with the best of rep- i

utations. Just as-jone should haVe
knowledge of an individual’s parents
and even grandparents back several
generations, to actually know” all of ,.

ties (heredity) so the Michigan wo—

Candidate's fitness. Ca 111; a ballot
for a candidate for mayor for ex—
ample, or for a insides of the peace,
becauserhe‘ is a "pretecticinist’, ” or a

as silly as voting for him becauSe 111

eriimént. However, in selecting a
congressiman. the principles involved

in tariff protection or in mail se1-,

1 Vice, will have bearing as to his fit-
uses as well as connection with an
office to- which he aspiies.

Things a Candidate Should Know
“What is needed in a candidate for

a local office relates to his knowledge
of economic, social and moral piob-
lems-—roads, sewers, paving, watei.
transportation, the social evil, health,
.etc. ——things closely connected with
the duties of the office he seeks, and
with the business. social and indus-
trial life of the community. Wtihout
having this knowledge, or at least
without being receptive to knowledge
of this kind, he will,~if elected, make
a poor and inefficient ofl‘icial not-
withstanding party affiliations or so-
cial standing. It takes knowledge
ability, experiences, character and
mental and physical alerthess to
make the ideal candidate.

”The voting woman living in a
thickly populated district must nec-
essaiily depend more on the general
reputation of Candidates When mark-
ing her ballot, than need voting wo—
men in more thinly populated areas.
For in the latter there come oppor-
tunities for peisonal acquaintance
that are denied her sister in the city.
Therefore, voting in the country for
a notoriously unfit candidate carries
with it the greater shame.

“Now this information as to fitness
for the position to,which a candidate
aspires is not so difficult to find as
may at first, blush appear. Observe:

1. What does the candidate know
about. the duties of the ofilce?

2-. What is the candidate’s usual
enviionment?

3. Who are the candidate’s us-
ual associates?

4. What is the candidate’s repu-
tation?

5. Does the candidate believe in
having public services performed for
profit or does he Want the public
solved at cost?

“No candidate can live in a com-
munity any length of time without’
information concerning most of these
points being matters of general
knowledge. Of course there is mis-
information floating around as well
as the facts. But, notwithstanding
this public opinion in the mass (not
the opinion of a. class) arrives at a
pretty accurate estimate of about
what kind of a person the candidate
is, as a family man, as a citizen. as
an able, intelligent and discriminat—
ing human being.

“It is only necessary for the voting
woman to raise her eyes and enlarge
he1 mental horizon to be able to
know who’s who and What’s what
Nor should she absolutely discard
party “labels,” or social standing.
These do have some weight. Little,
to be sure, Yet weighable. 1 But out-

Wheat suffered a setback in many
markets due to the announcement of
the United States Grain Corporation
that it would sell surplus wheat at
cost plus the carrying charge. West-
Hern markets were the chief sufferers
where No. 1 dark northern had
reached a price around $3. There
was a slump of 10 cents in that figure
due to Mr. Barnes’ announcement.

, One of the most interesting factors
‘ 111. the wheat business this week is
the removal of the permit system as
related to country shipments. This
permit system. removed Menday of
this week, was greatly complained of

' by the local dealers.

The coal strike and. the rail short-
age have‘had Some effect on wheat,
though far less than on the corn mar-
ket which was considerably boosted
because of lack of cars. Detroit mar—
kets remain the same as last week
for No. 2 red and White wheat, the
prices being $2.24 and $2.22 res-
pectively.

Cattle and Hogs Make Further Advance ’

A sharp decline in Chicago hogs
the fore part of last week was follow-
ed by a quick upturn andas we go to
press the market tops around $15.50
for best grades. Rumor has it that
the British government has let con-
tracts for December hogs at $14.00,
whichmeaus that the market will
have to be forced lower or someone
will get their fingers burned. Re-
ceipts of hogs are expected to in-
crease soon and lower prices are an-
ticipated. The hog trade is expected
to run 011 a more even keel from now
on. however, and price changes will
not be great. H

Cattle topped the Chicago market
last week at $19.80, then slumped a
bit, but the current week opens with
a firmer tone and higher prices. The
quality of sheep arriving on the mar-
kets now is generally poor. and net-
urally discourages trade. Despite this
fact, however, the market is steady
to firm and prices hold their, own.

the greatest drouth will be where the

There is a slight activity in beans
and the price is up 15 cents per cwt.
on the Detroit market. We caution
our readers against putting much '
faith in this slight advance. The De— .
troit market has never been a criter- ,
ion of the actual condition of the”
bean trade. Speculators manipulat-
ing that market to suit their will and
we have noticed frequent changes in
that market which were scarcely war-
ranted by actual conditions.

The majority of the bean jobbers in
the state have taken a bullish atti-
tude on beans and are discouraging
any attempts to force lower prices. At
an informal meeting of the bean job-
bers'held at Saginaw, Frank B. Dre-es,
secretary of the association, warned'
“against the flooding of the market at
the present low prices. He urged
members todiscourage farmers from
unloading their crop when the mar
ket is in such poor condition. Mr.
Drees is quoted as saying:‘ “Farmers
should hold their beans’ until \condi-
tions are right. Beans are already the
cheapest food on the market in pro-
portion to their food alue. They are ’
entirely too cheap.” We can on? re ‘ ~.
peat Mr. Drees’ assertion and 1‘ one H‘ .
our readers will take the sensible
view of the situation And market
their beans only as they need thx
money. Dumping beans into the e‘c- » ,
voters at this time is quite liable to
put the market in such shape as will
destroy immediate future respects of '

POULTRY MARKET HIGHER

The poultry market is higher in
some lines and generally firm. The
demand is heavy for fat hens and best
chickens. While. supply is low in big
market centers. Turkeys seem to be
out of the running. awaiting the
Thanksgiving rush, turkeys now be-
ing easy as to, price and uneasy as to
outlook. Ducks are higher. Detroit

TOO MANY APPLES

Despite the shortage of apples, it
seems that producers are dumping
them On the markets in the big cit-
ies. In general the fruit markets are
inactive. Grapes have disappeared
entirely from the stalls, except for
the California varieties. Apples and
quinces being so plentiful in supply
do not command the high prices
many expected to pay at this time.
Small Michigan are bringing around
$1.25 in Detroit, and the bests are
getting $2@2.50 per bushel.

Produce markets in general are
firm at present. Home grown cab-

DID YOU PLANT KIDNEY BEANS?

. Do you remember the advice giv-
en in Michigan Business Farming
early last spring with reference to
Red Kidney Beans? That advice was
given after a careful survey had been
made of the holdings in dealer's
'hands: quantity in the stocks held
by wholesale grocers, and the domes-
tic and export demand for this par-
ticular variety. You were advised to
plant \Red Kidneys; and it was sug-
gested that over production was
“quite impossible. Well it you heed-
ed our advice today’s market quota-
tions must look mighty good to ydu.
If you did not follow our suggestion
then it would be well to remember
that M. B. F. is .searching.for 'in-
formation that 'will aid you, Mr.

big potato belts is to blame for much
of the condition. The jobbing price

There continues the same old story
in the big h’ay markets for the past
several weeks. Loadings in the coun-
try are light. a fact which might.
bring the price up to a better level,
were it‘not for the inactive demand
by the consumers. Low grades show
an easier feeling. The sustaining
feature of the market. however, is
the high grades which are quite
scarce.

the “Skinners’ Company of London."
Little is known 0! its origin but as
far back as 1327 King Edward III
JgaVe this company a charter and
they had laws passed against the
selling old furs for new. showing
that even in those days efforts were
made to keep'the fur trade out of
the hands of the unscrupulous.

In the middle ages all the fur was
caught locally, most of the best skins
coming from Russia, but after the
discovery of America. all eyes turn-
ed to the Western Hemisphere. The
French established trading posts in
Canada as early at 1535 and the Rus-
' sians traded in Alaska in 1553. In
New England. the Plymouth Com-
pany and the West Indies Company
shared the monopoly on shipping
beaver to Europe. It is interesting
to note that. the emblem of the City
of New York originally showed two
beavers on account if their import—
ance in the fur trade.

l"The Old Stove Master” I’m not a word artist. The boys say I couldn’t write ads for sour apples. ButI faint and Roofing
can build stoves and ranges and furnaces. , That’s my line. Been at it all my life. " s‘“'t"y hag" am.“
And our customers say they can’t be beat for quality and genuine satisfac- ‘
tory service. v
What I want to tell you is how I’m smashing prices again this year. . You
remember my offer last year. I cut prices to the bone. I am doing the same
thing again. I am quoting prices that only a manufacturer can quote.

r.

Say, isn’t it a relief to know that some one is holding down prices? You
know how prices have been climbing everywhere. Like Jack’s beanstalk, the
sky is their limit. But you’d think mine hit the toboggan. I don’t expect to
get rich quick on good customers, or because th€war is over. I_ am content
with a fair profit and am quoting live and let live prices.

I am a manufacturer. ' My prices to you are wholesale—just as if you came
to my factory and bought a Carload order.

Why am I doing it? Because it’s good business. You’ve heard the
words, HA Kalamazoo Direct to You.” They are known in millions
of homes from coast to coast. I’ve built up a nation-wide business.
Customers everywhere. Every one a booster for us and our way

of doing business. Doesn’t that prove something? It proves
my plan is right.
