STANDARD

Completion of the work of market-
ing the cherry crop by the Michigan
Potato Growers' exchange shows that
the crop was not so large as had
been anticipamd, and that many of
the cherries were in poor condition
because of unfavorable weather con-
ditions during the. picking season, .
said G. E. Prater of the exchange.
The excessive moisture during the
picking season resulted in heavy
spoilage, Prater declared.

FARM BUREAU PLANS EDUCA-
TIONAL CAMPAIGN

Latest developments in the Mich-
igan State Farm Bureau's wool pro-
gram are the launching of a state-
wide educational campaign and the
leasing oi a fourth warehouse.

This warehouse is located in Grand
Rapids and will hold approximately
1,000,000 pounds. This new space
will bring the total amount of wool
that the pool can accommodate to
approximately 4,500,000 pounds.

By study of his business the av-
erage farmer can increase his in-
come from his wool, the Farm Bu-
reau maintains. To stimulate such
a study and also give the wool grow-
er a graphic understanding of meth- ,
ode of wool gradingthe Farm Bureau '

.is sending out. to each Michigan

county a plaque of sample of the
several grades of wool. With each
display to a careful description of .
the types of wool}. list of the kinds
of wool produced from each breed

, of sheep and instructions designed to

produce the most profitable wool ,
crop. One of the most important
phases in the betterment of Michi-
[tan wool production,
the term bureau, is for each grower '
to select one breed 0! sheep and
stick to it, gaining thereby a more
uniform grade of wool and a treat-

RECENT drop in sugar has
given an entirely new angle: to

" -the price controversy betrcu‘

growers and manufacturers. It is
well knowu that the bulk of tho.1§20

acraise was neared on the false

‘ promise of the manufacturers that

the sliding scale contract would not

the; grower $16 or more per ton. The
present condition of the mar-
kct does not indicate that any such

’pricewillbepsidtheproducer. Su-

gar has dropped seven to ten cents

porpound, wholesale and retail, dur-
in: the last sixty days and there are
some who predict that by the first
01' the year we will again see 11 cent
sugar to the consumer. In that
event the wholesale price certainly
could not exceed 9 cents per pound,
upon which basis the minimum of
$10 per ton for the hosts is figured.
It would not be at all surprising if
,theiarmers did not receive a penny
more than the guaranteed minimum
or $10 for their 1020 crop. Yet, ac-
cording to oilicial figures the manu-
facturers could aflord to pay a min—
imum of $12 per ton on 9 cent su—
gar. This was the minimum price

.. which. thmonganised growers tried
‘ to get this “year, but failed because

, some of their members deserted the

ranks. .

However, that is now history. The
price that will be’received for the
1920 beets will be much less than
anticipated when the beets were
planted. The manufacturers will .re-
ccive as they always have, the lion’s
share of the profits. It is presum-

‘ ed that they will try to foist the same

'i 3‘!

old contractonto the growers anoth-
er season in order that they may con-
tinue to get a lion’s share of 'the
profits. It will remain. with the
growers as it always has in the pest
and always will whether or net'this

condition is to be permitted to con-_

tinue. Manager Ackerman and thous-
ands of growers are as strongly con-
vinced asever that their claims for
recognition and larger share of the
profits-are just and that the fight
should be renewed with greater vigor
and courage. .Mr. Ackcrman has
asked us to publish his appeal to
all who are interested in this great
industry, which we gladly do below:

will receive as near as may be a fair
proportion of the net proceeds from
the sugar in the beats based on the
money at risk, through labor involv-

of the beets and a sliding price scale
regulated by the average price of
sugar. ‘ ‘

N THE international milk mar-
ket an extraordinary pressure is
expmd by buyers at present.
Every indication points to the tact
that during the next summer milk
prices are in prospect which do not
answer to the costs of production at
all. Everywhere wages and salaries

‘. are still rising; in contrast. to this. it

‘ «the milk producers to such a degree

that; the most industrious and most

for this reason they are now entitled
to look for protection against a sud-

But these alerts cannot be suc-

tricts the farmers resist energetical-
ly the tendency of bringing about a
considerable decline or price. ILwill,
of course. not be possible to avoid a
certain drop of prices in places where
these had been exceptionally high
during the war. - But reports which
have come to hand from various
countries. 1., i.. from Holland and
some parts of house. show clearly
that farmers there are too much in-
clined to yield to the pressure exert-
ed by the trade. During next sum-
mer the Swiss farmers require a price
of 86 centimes (Swiss standard) for
a kilo of milk, taken at the stall.
This price involves a decline of 2-3

tions which the factories secured to
grow beets this year, and ask them to
join with us and expand our organ-
ization until this organization enlists
practically all the beet growers of
the State of Michigan.

“In starting this campaign we do
so feeling that inasmuch as all the
factories are in an association and
do stick together and put out and all
operate under one contract we as
growers and producers should like-

easier to secure a corresponding
price of dairy produce and of the
milk employed for it. In Swltser.
land both farmers and traders found-
ed" a large society with a view to
take over the whole choose supply of
the country at a price corresponding
to. those of consumptive milk. In
this way as. uniform fixation of pric-
es is ascertained tor all the produc-
are.

We hereby beg the agricultural
associations to inform farmers every;
where of the present situation and to
invite them to oppose themselves to
the pressure on the international
market. For this purpose it will be
very useful to curtail the production
of milk as much as possible and to
increase corn growing, on the other
hand. As long as the political situ-
ation does not improve in Russia,

The county agent who, up to this

ago—had been merely an exponent

agent. The farmers began to de-

NE WHO travels extensively over
Michigan’ s light loam areas and
-‘ light sandy loam country will be
struck forcibly by two alfalfa
thoughts. First, that alfalfa has
proven a wonderful success on these
lands where rightly handled, and
second, that Michigan’s light lands
need a great deal more alfalfa. With-
out doubt the same observations can
be made in regard to Michigan’s loam
soils or clay loam soils, but the need
'of alfalfa on these lands is notso
‘strikingly apparent, owing to the
better success of clover and other for-
age crops. It is the lighter type of
(lands which are usually most do-
’ flcient in organic matter and which
give the greatest response to the
growing of leguminOus crops. The
lighter lands of Michigan are as a
class better drained than the heav-
ier types. The rolling sandy‘lo‘am
country of southwestern and west
Michigan and the gravelly and sandy
knolls and ridges found throughout
the state can usually be profitably
planted on alfalfa. The jack pine
plains and light and very light hard-
wood sands are‘ not, however, in the
same class. 011 such inferior soils
it has not been demonstrated that al-
falfa ‘can be profitably grown, be—
1 cause of the great cost of lime and
' fertilizer needed to prepare for al-
falfa.
In growing alfalfa on light sandy
loam, the following methods usually
'I result in good stands.
1. Apply ground limestone, marl,
st factory lime or hydrated lime;

For instance, Mr. Will Nelson of
Lawton, “the father of alfalfa. in
southwestern Michigan," as he is
called, attributes his success in se-
curing alfalfa on land so light‘that
it will blow, to the use of an ample
supply of marl, to the spreading on-
the land of grape pulp from a nearby
grape juice plant to supply organic
matter and to the planting of the
right kind of seed. Manure where
available would be. more effective
than the grape pulp.

Mr. Jason Woodman, has met with
marked success in alfalfa, growing on
his farm near Paw Paw, and has
started numerOus farmers in Kal-
amazoo county,. while serving as
county' agent there, along the same
road. In talking alfalfa, Mr. Wood-
man is enthusiastic not only regard-
ing the direct benefits of a good crop
of alfalfa, but realizes that this crop
is the foundation for better crops of
cornfipotatoes, beans and following
grain crops. He states that it is
necessary to “stick to the rules of
the game," apply calcium carbonate
(ground limestone or marl), prepare
a clean firm seed bed, and plant
hardy northern grown seed which
has been inoculated. ,

Prepare a Firm Seed Bed

The need of preparing a firm seed
bed is one that is not usually under-
stood. Altogether too many who at:
tempt to grow alfalfa wii-leoVrk‘up
a mellow seed bed, such as is good
for corn or beans, or potatoes, and
not at all suited for making the
right conditions for alfalfa.

Light soils should be plowed to a
medium depthsin'wchgégarly spring,
or if approaching 10a in nature, in
the fall. In fitting fer alfalfa, this
land should be disked and firmly

felled with a roller or cum-packed, -.
» ually make a good start before the .-

going over the field several times if
necessary to firmly pack the" soil.
Have you noticed, on light land, that

the wheels of the drill

   

field will be bare wherethe land has
not been compacted?

The following instance is typical
of the benefit of compacting the seed
bed. Mr. .Fred Thomas recently
planted 20 acres of alfalfa on“light
loam land in Ingham county. The
seed bed had been worked into ex-
cellent tilth by use of disk and the
smoothing barrow drawn by a. tract-
or. An ample quantity of marl had
been used, the seed was inoculated
and northern grown and apparently
all was set for a good crop. When
the writer visited the place in early
June, the seeding was being made.
The suggestion was made to ”Mr.
Thomas that it would be a good prac-
tice to firmly compact the seed bed

with a roller or culti-pack‘er, so that "

1-

the case of rain holding off, the seed
would get a good start. It so hap-
pened that about one-third 'of the
field was rolled when what would be
termed a heavy packing rain stopped
further use of the cum-packer. In
spite of this fact, the part of the
field which was compacted is notice-
ably better than the remainder of the
field. The roller or culti-packer
should be on every light land farm.

Culture for inoculation can be so-
cured from the Department of 'Bact-
eriology, Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege, East Lansing, Michigan, at 25c
'per bottle, one bottle being sufficient
“to treat one bushel of seed. Lime is
usually used at the rate of two tons
of ground limestone per acre or sev-
eral cubic yards of marl per acre.
Marl is available in many Ways
throughout Michigan and is an ex-
cellent form of calcium carbonate.
During the fall, marl can usually be

cently, "I sought out Mr. McKee and

best results come from planting with-
out companion crops except on lands
which are likely to blow in which
case, it is advisable to use one or two
packs of barley or buckwheat or
some other grain as a companion
crop.

The usual rate of planting alfalfa
is 12 to 15 pounds per acre. North-
ern grown alfalfa seed is best. The
Grimm, Baltic or Ccssack strains are
apparently superior, though common
northern grown alfalfa from the
Dakotas or the northwestern states
is dependable. The war taught us a
great lesson. During the years when
the supply of imported seed from
Turkestan was cut off, Michigan
growers were forced to pay high pric-
es for seed but native grown seed
was supplied for the most part. As
compared to former years ' much
greater success was met with.

Get ' Northwestern Grown Seed,

The Farm Bureau Seed Depart- .-

ment is making a special effort to
bring into Michigan supplies of
northern grown seed. Mr. ..J ”We

Nicolson, its manager, has made a
recent trip through the northwest in-
specti‘ng alfalfa seed fields. He re-
ports that conditions are right for
the purChase of a large supply for
Michigan farmers. Alfalfa growers
who intend to plant next spring ‘or
early summer, should place their or-
ders through their Farm Bureau
Seed Departments now for good
northern grown seed. Several Mich-
igan seed companies also handle seed

of fine quality from the northwestjs.

{ expected considering the financial
j losses to which the companies have
: been subjected owing to inadequate

i at this time whether the commission
" is right or wrong in these conclu-
‘. sinus. It is presumed that the Com-
1 mission has made a thordugh investi-
! cation of telephone «- costs, receipts,
’ earnings and losses, andis in a posi-..
>tion to know whereof it speaks. It
i is true as everyone knows that the
1 cost of telephone construction and
; operation has increased largely the
3 past several years and that rates have
v probably not advanced in proportion
'l to the increased costs. The subscrib-
j or to a telephone'service is primarily
« concerned with securing good service
i for which he is willing to pay a rea-
' tenable rate that will insure the com-
I, puny a reasonable profit. But when
9 rates are increased as they have been
1' of late years without a proportionate
, betterment of service it is small
; wonder that subscribers become dis-
; gruntled and feel that they are being
3 imposed upon.
, It is the belief of this‘publication
1 that there is danger of the Public
. Utilities Commission exhausting all
1' its compassion on the telephone com-

, '. E8, the story may be true, but
what of it? Is it a representa-
. tive case? Is such an incident
,I the rule or is it not the exception?
How many farmer boys go to the
;ci-ty and earn seventy-five dollars a
. week within the first twelve months
. or even the first twelve years for
:that matter? You can see it in
ipicture shows—you can read about
‘- it in the story books, the magazines,
Jand the Sunday Supplements, but——

. How often does it actually happen
(in real life?
. If this particular boy of Polish
‘ parentage did make that much mon-
'.ey', how consistently is he making it?
: How long will he continue to make
it?
' Mind you, I don’t even know the
, chap or what kind of a job he has,
, ;" but I’ll bet you thirteen to one that
, he’s putting in longer hours and do-_
Ling harder work than ever tell his
lot back on the farm!

Let me ask you this—

For every one of these birds who
mushroom their way into Big Men-
ey, how many are there who are

' warming the benches out in t-he park
—or shoveling coal in a smoky rail-
road yard—or writing home for mon-
ey—or Joining the Navy through
sheer desperation—or washing wind-
ows or repairing street—car tracks,
or handling freight at the rate of
twenty-nine cents an hour—twenty-
nine cents an hour when not strik-
ingi!

And, again—I don't think much
of the Paternal Pole even if he did
get his name before the proverbial
three million readers. He has fallen
in line with the masses. He is help-
ing to press-agent the city—helping
to .press-agent the city even though
it is opposed to his own personal in-

', terests. Read the last part of his

ily—can’t make seventy~flve dolla

have pointed out that the pioneering,
the hardest part of the work, had al-
ready been done—I would have dis-
cussed farming, not as a drudgery,
but as a coming business holding
forth a field for big achievement and—
I would have asked him if he didn't
want to step in and “carry on” when
his old father was gone.

I think I am broad-minded—I
think I’m fair about- this thing. I
am stating the facts as I see them.

I grant that from a broad eco-
nomic viewpoint the lack of help on
the farm is a serious matter.

But remember this:—— ‘

It's going to get even more seri-
one if we keep on advertising the
deplorable plight of the downtrod--
den farmer in direct contrast with
the" charms of metropolitan life!~

If we don't get more labor on the ‘
farms, starvation stares the world
in the face. ,

But people—ordinary people—Apoc-
ple who work for a salary or for
wages—average folks like you and
I, are much more interested in their
daily welfare and immediate person-.
a1 benefits than in any abstruse prob-
- lem of World Economics!

Maybe this is an improper atti-
tude, but the fact remains. The av-
erage man is more interested in him-
self than in the welfare of the hu-
man race. And while he is quite
willing for the other follow to make
a sacrifice, he himself is reluctant to
take up a career that holds forth
nothing but gloom, hard labor and».
low wages—even though such a
course may insure food for all pos-
terity! ~

The farmer is running a want-ad ’
for labor—or perhaps someone else
is running it for him. You won't find
it in the want-ad section, but you'll
find it everywhere else—-it’s running '
in preferred positions—in editonh!

havingatoughrowtohoe. Attire
Jerepart of this year-business was
‘ ybooming. The public was buying
any and everything at any old price
.md the manufacturers and Jobbers

doors . When manufacturers ordered
raw material they ordered twice as
. much. as they really needed because
they did» not want their factories to
lie idle a moment and Jobbers pur-
chased more than enough to fill or-
ders. but all of a sudden the public
decided they were paying too much
for things and they commenced to
buy less so the retail merchant, who
was pinched for credit already, can-
celled orders. The result was that
the retailers had to put on bargain

had on hand to meet their notes. The
public took the bargains and then
began buying as little as possible
again. Manufacturers and Jobbcrs
then began to lower prices to the re-
tailer who, in turn lowered prices
to the public and at the same time
they tried to get the public to buy-
ing by claiming that prices were go-
ing to advance again shortly and go
higher than ever. but the public
could not see it that way so prices
have kept coming down and they
haven’t reached the bottom yet. In

Chicago, according to the findings of

a recent investigation, suits of

clothes that were selling at 880 two

months ago are being oil'ered at 880

or under today. and shoes that

brought $14 and $18 a month ago
- may be had for $6 today.

Recently an active and powerful
man in Wall Street in banking, rail-
road and industrial circles was ask-
ed as to what he thought of the
future trend of commodity prices.
According to a press dispatch his
answer was as follows:

“There is going to be further liq-
uidation in commodity prices. The
liquidation that has already taken
place in foodstuffs and commodities
has made it certain that we are_ past
tho danger point that was feared by
bankers. But further liquidation in
foodstuffs, commodities and raw and
,..fifiiShc¢l mail-rials is going to take
" place for two different reasons.

“First, our banks here are not able
to give the credit that was advanced
last year to enable foreigners to buy
in this market. This week‘s foreign
trade statement for the seven months
of the your shows a falling oil of
$300.000,000 in exports, compared
with thi' same period of 1919. while
imports were $3,482,000,000 against
81.995.000.000 for the first seven
months of last year. Under such
conditions the existing high prices
can not be maintained."

His second reason was the clmnge
. of the public's ways from extravagant

to economical.

“ Pricesforgrains aregoingto go
down but do not think they will ever
‘ establish themselves at the pro-war
.level. They have moved up too
manynotches for that. It is believed
'fllatifgrainprices do recedetothe
[pro-war level it will be for only a

The wheat market was ilrm all
last week. The main factors that

caused this firmness was export de-
mand.
their grain and shortage of cars. The
market opened somewhat weaker
this week owing to the Canadian
wheat that is being offered for sale.
This wheat from Canada is selling
10c cheaper than United States
wheat and foreigners are beginning
to look in that direction for their
supplies. For this reason it is
thought that demand from Europe
for our wheat will drop 01! for some
time:' at least until it is found out

how much wheat Canada will have

for exporting. The quality of wheat
arriving at Winnipeg at present is
very high but that country has suf-
feredconsiderably from hot and dry
winds and shriveled wheat is expected
to come forward in large volumes
soon and then exporters will have to
turn to as for good wheat.

Export business is not. as good as
it might be. England is out of the
market and has been for some time.
France has been out‘a while but is
expected to resume buying the early
part of this month. Greece has or-
dered 7,000,000 bushels from Can-
ada. These are the main buyers.

Receipts of wheat are very disap-
pointing as farmers are reluctant to
sell their grain at prevailing prices
and it is believed by many dealers
that the farmers will stop selling on-
tirely if theprices go much lower as
they feel that prices should advance
instead of decline. Many of them
will not sell now because they say
wheat should bring $3 and they are
willing to hold until it does. This is
causing much uneasiness among
dealers as many of them have sold
in advance anticipating large re-
ceipts and now they are worried as
to where they are going to get the
grain ~to._fill their orders.

Car shortage is causing a lot of
trouble in the, west, especially in
Kansas, and the shortage is so ser-
ious there that many farmers that
are selling now have to dump. their
grain on the ground as elevators
and storage bins are all full.

Contrary‘to expectations, oats did

. not. follow corn during the past week

at Detroit. While corn became
stronger as the. week advanced oats
became weaker and loss several cents
on the Detroit market, but Chicago
claims this grain showed firmness ,all
week on her market and prices ad-
vanced slightly.
are oil a few cents. Receipts are
fair to liberal on all markets and
the demand. with the exception of
Detroit is good. There is some ex-
port demand for oats at present. Hol-
land bought around 100, 000 bushels
a couple of weeks ago and it is rum-
morcd that other European nations
are asking for prices with the inten-
tions of making purchases in the
near future if the price is satisfact-
ory. Foreign reports say that the
yields have. been cut down in France
and England by wet weather while
the crop in other nations has suffer-
ed from dry and hot weather. The
United States and Canada will both
have a bigger crop than was harvest-
ed last year and will be able to care
for quite an export demand before
the strain is felt. The new crop has
been moving to market freely but it
is believed that this after-threshing
movement is about over and receipts
will fall 01! shortly.

 

RYE EASY

Rye is holding its own and is
quiet and easy on the Detroit mar-
ket. It is quoted at $2 for No.2.
Chicago reports an erratic market
and the price lower. There is still a
fair volume of export business done
in. this -grain as foreigners are after
the cheapest bread flour they can
get.
“A large export in rye flour could
probably be done were mills able to
secure liberal supplies of the grain, ”.
says the Rosenbamn Review. But
offerings are rather light at present.

 

‘ BEANS INACTI‘VE

The market for beans in Detroit
dropped 25c dieting current week but
retained last week's prices at both
Chicago and New York with the
tone of the markets easy and inact-

derstand. It declines when every-
thing points to an advance. bnt in-

Mto prices are standing still-on ,'
the Detroit market, declining on the
Chicago market and advancing in
New York. Eastern dealers. have ‘
had to raise prices because eastern
farmers, especially those in Maine,
are not making many sales.’ They.
say prices are too low as they are
only offered $2 and‘82.50 a barrel
and they claim that it costs them $3
a barrel to produce potatoes.

According to the Produce Nam,
cables from Copenhagen" report heavy-
shipments of Danish potatoes afloat '
for the New York market which are
due to arrive there sometime this
week. “There is much curiosity 'in
the trade. as to what incentive there
is to bring the Danish potatoes here
at this time. especially newly dug
stock which is apt to spoil in transit
as there is little or no refrigeration
on the steamers." says the News.
"The only incentive for bringing
these potatoes here under present
conditions is the low rate of exchange
as the Danish kroner can be pur-
chased here at .14700 which leaves"
the margin of over 25 per cent and
speculators who purchase their ex-
change in the United States can af-
ford to sell the potatoes at a loss and
take their profits on the exchange
margin. ”

ter But who was tok'nOw? 'I did
not. You did' not. Nor did Francis.
'He played the man's partafairly and

squarely. Not knowing that yen and»
I were brother and sister, believing
that we were truly betrothed—as ’We .

were at the time—he refrained'from

trying to win you from»me, and he '

rendered further temptation impos-
sible and saved the lives of :all of us
by marrying the Queen." '

“I miss you and Francis singing
your . everlasting ;Back to back
against the Mainmast,"' she mur-
mured sadly and irrelevantly.

Quiet tears weiled into her eyes
and brimmed over as she turned
away, passed down the steps of the
veranda, crossed the grounds, and
aimlessly descended the hill. Fer
the twentieth time since she had last
seen Francis she pursued the same
course, covering the same ground
from the time she first espied him
rowing to the beach from the An-
gelique, through her dragging him
into the jungle to save him from her
irate men-folk, to‘t'he moment, with
drawn revolver, when she had kiss-
ed him and urged him into the boat
and away. This had been his first
visit. ,

Next, she covered every detail of
his second visit from the moment,
coming up from behind the rock ail--
ter her swim in the lagoon, she had
gazed upon him leaning against the
rock as he scribbled his first note to
her, through her startled flight into
the jungle, the bite on her knee of
the labarri (which she had mistaken
for a deadly viperine,) to her recoil-
ing collision against Francis and her
faint on the sand. And, under her
parasol she sat down on the very

' spot where she had fainted ,and come ,

to, to find him preparing to suck the-
poison from the wound Which he had
already excor‘iated. As she remem-
bered back, she realized that it had
been the pain of the excoriation
which brought her to her senses... .

Deep she was in the sweet recol-
lections of how she had slapped his
cheek even .-as his lips approached
her knee, blushed with her face hid-
den in her hands, laughed because
her foot had been made asleep by his
too efficient tourniquet, turned white
with anger when he reminded her
that she considered him the murder-
er of her unclef-and repulsed his of-
fer to untle the tourniquet. So deep
was she in such fond recollectionsof
only the other day that yet seemed
separated from the present by half
a century, such was the Wealth of
episode, adventure and tender pass-
ages which had intervened, that she
did not see the rattletrap rented car-
rings from San Antonio drive up the
beach road. Nor did she see a lady,
fashionably clad in advertisement
that-she was from New York, dis-
miss the carriage and proceed toward
her on foot. This lady, who was
none other than the Queen, Fran-
cis' wife, likewise sheltered her.-
seif beneath a parasol from the
tropic sun.

Standing directly behind
Leoncia she did not realize
that she had surprised the
girl in a moment of high
renunciation. All that
she did know was that
she saw Leoncia draw
from' her breast and
gaze long at a tiny
photograph. Over her
shoulder the Q11 e e u
made it out to bee
snapshot of Francis M
whereupon her mad '.,-
iealousy raged anew. A '

:‘Why?’ Leoncia was the first to
speak, after a long pause. “Why
am I a vile woman?" ' w ' '

“Because you are a thief," the
Queen flamedir “Because you are a
stealer of men, yourself married. Be-
cause you are unfaithful to your hus-
band—in heart, at least, since- more
than that has so far been impossible."

“I have no husband,” Leoncia
answered quietly.

“Husband to be thenl—I thought

you. were married the day after our-v

departure"

“I have no husband to be,” Leon-
cia continued with the same quiet-
ness, "

So swiftly tense did the other wo-
man become that Leoncia idly
thought of her as a tigress.

“He is; my brother.”_

"A word which I have discovered
is of wide meaning, Leoncia. Solano.
In New York there are worshippers
at certain altars who call all men‘

“His fatherwas' my father,” Leon-

“And Francis?’-’-fi,the other" queried
convinced with"sudden access of .in-

Leoncia shook her head. =

“You have him," said Leoncia-
“No; for you have taken him from

Leoncia slowly and sadly shook
her head and idly gazed out over the
heat-shimmering surface of Ohiriqui

After a long lapse of silence, she
said, wearily, “Believe that. BE-

“I divined it in you from the first,"

CHAPTER XXVII
0 IT came about that the Valley 7.
of the Lost Souls was invaded .
subterraneously from opposite
directions by two parties of treasure
seekers. From one side, and quick-
ly came the'Queen and Leoncia, Hen-
ry Morgan, and the Soianos. Far
more slowly, although they hadstarts
ed long in advance, didwTdrres and'
the Jets progress. The first attack
on the mountainhad proved the big-
gest» obstacle. To blow open an en-,
trance to the Maya caves had requir-
ed more dynamite than they had 'or-,
iginally brought, while the rock had
proved subborner than they expect-
ed- Further, when they had finally
made a way, it had proved to be
above the cave floor, so that more
blasting had been required to .drain
off the water. And having blasted ,
their way into the .. water-logged
mummies for the conquistadoresrand'
to the Room of the Idols, ’they'had
to blast their way out again and on
intoyt-he heart‘of the mountain. But
first, ere, they continued on, Torres
looted the ruby eyes of Chia and the
emerald eyes; of Hzatzl. - ‘
Meanwmie,‘ withscarcely any de-
lays, the Queen and her party pen-
etrated to the Valley through the
mountain on the apposite side. Nor
did they entirely duplicate the course
of their earlier traverse. The Queen, _
through long gazing into her Mirror,

the underground river plunged

passage and 'out’into the bosom
of the Gualaca River it was im-

Henry with an electric torch, led
the Way, the Queen beside him, while
-old’llnrico and Leoncia brought up
the rear, yigilant to see that no pos-
sible half-hearted peon or Indian
' boatniah should slip back and run
away. But when the party came to
where the mouth of the passage ought
to have. been, there was no mouth.
The passage ceased, being blocked
- off solidly from floor to roof by a
1 '.,_ debris of crumbled rocks that varied
‘ ‘ in size from paving stones to native
houses.
. - “‘Who could have done this?" the
" ~ ‘ 5 Queen exclaimed angrily.
But Henry, after a cursory exam-
ination, reassured her.
"It's just a slide of rock," he said,
“ a superficial fault in the outer skin
of the mountain that has slipped;
and it ,w’On‘t take us long with our

dynamite to remedy it. Lucky we
fetched a supply along."
But it did take long. For what

was the remainder of the day and
throughout the night they toiled.
Lar‘gecharges of explosive were not
used because of Henry’s fear of ex-
citing a greater slip along. the fault
overhead. - What dynamite was used
was for the purpose of loosening up
the rubble so that they could shift
it back along the passage at eight
the following morning the charge
was exploded that opened to them
the firstglimm-er of daylight ahead.
After that they worked carefully,
being apprehensive of jarring down
fresh slides- At the last, theyw were.
baffled by a ten ton block of rock
in the very mouth of the passage.
Through crevices on either'side of
it, they could squeeze their arms into
the blazing sunshine, yet the stone
block thwarted them. No leverage
they applied could more than quiver
it, and Henry decided on one final
hint that would topple it out and
down into the Valley.

“They’ll certainly know visitors
are coming. the way we’ ve been

knocking“ on their back door for the .

last fifteen hours ” he laughed, as
he prepared to light the fuse.

Assembled before the altar of the
Sun God at the Lung House, the en-
tire population was indeed aware,
and anxiously aware, of the coming
of visitors. So disastrous had been
their experiences with their last ones
when the lake dwelling had been
burned and their Queen lost to them,
that they were now begging the
Sun God to send no more visitors.
But upon one thing, having been pas-
sionately harangued by their'priest,
they were resolved; namely, to kill
at sight and without pariey whatever
newcomers did descend upon them.

“Even Da Vasco himself,” the

«priest had‘cried.

Here the advantage of
firearms was minimized, and gen-
darmes and others were thrust thru
by spears or had their skulls crack-
ed under the ponderous clubs.

In the end, however, the Lost Souls
were outfought, thanks chiefly to
the revolvers that could kill in the
thickest of the scuffling.‘ The sur-
vivors fled, but of:the invaders half
were. down and down forevar. The

tended to every man who fell wound-

pain and rage at an arrow which had
perforated his arm; nor could he be
appeased until Vicente cut off the
barbed head and pulled out the
shaft.

Torres, beyond an aching shoulder
where a'club had hit him, was unin-

jured; and he became jubilant when "

he saw the old priest dying on the
ground with his head resting on the
little maid’ s knees.

Since there were no wounded of
their own to be attended to with
rough and ready surgery, Torres and
the Jefe led the way to the lake,
skirted its shores, and came to the
ruins of the Queen's dwelling. Only
charred stumps of piles, projecting
above the water showed where it had

Augustine, the Si-
lent, made the find, close in to shore.

“I am standing on something,” he
announced, the level of the lake
barely to his knees.

Torres punged in, and, reaching
under till be buried his head and
shoulders, felt out the object.

“It is the chest, I am certain," he
declared. ~ “——Come ! All of you !
Drag this out to the dry land so that
we may examine into it !"

But when this was accomplished,
and just as he bent to open the lid,
the Jefe stopped him.

“Go back into the water, the lot
of you,” he commanded his men.
“There are a number of chests like
this, and the expedition will be a
failure if we don't find them. pne
chest would not pay the expenses.”

And it is ours-—ours i”

And, while the two men, almost
stupefied, stood and stared, one by -.
one their followers crept out of the
water, for-med a silent semi-circle at
their backs and likewise stared.
Neither did the Jefe and Torres know
their men stood at their backs, nor
did the men know of the Lost Souls
that were creeping stealthily upon
them from the rear. As it was, all
were staring at the treasure with
fascinated amazement when the at”-
tack was sprung.

Bows and arrows, at ten yards dis-
tance, are deadly, especially when
due time is taken to make Certain
of aim. Two—thirds of the treasure-
seekers went down simultaneously.
Through Vincents, who had chanced
to be standing directly behind Torres
no less than two spears and five ar-
rows had perforated. The handful
of Survivors had barely time to seize
their rifles and whirl, when the club
attack was upon them. In this Raf-
ael and Ignacio, two of the gendarm—
es who had been on the adventure
to the Juch'itan oil fields. almost im- ‘
mediately had their skulls cracked.
And, as usual, the Lost Souls women
saw to it that the wounded did not
remain wounded long.

The end for Torres and the Jefe
was but a matter of moments, when
a loud roar from the mountain fol-
lowed by a crashing avalanche of
rock created a diversion. The few
Lost Souls that remained alive, dart—
ed back terror—stricken into the shelt-

The Secret of High Taxes

ACCORDING to experts in the Federal
Census Bureau, Michigan ’8 general tax

' levy in 1919 was $7.31 per capita, being the

largest of any of the states except Arizdna and
This is not a record to be proud of.
There is no good reason why the per capita tax

- of this state should be any higher than the per
' capita tax of the avarage state.

On the con-
trary there are many good reasons why it

' should be less. No state in the union, witn the

possible exception of New York and Illinois
has enjoyed such an era of industrial. expan-
sion and piosperity as Michigan. City sites
Invest-
ments in buildings and equipment of manu-
factories have been stupendous. And agricul-
ture has not stood still by any means.

The apologist for the last four years’ admin-
istration of the affairs of Michigan finds the
increased cost of maintaining the public insti-
tutLons a satisfactory reason for the increase
in taxes. But it ought not to ecst Michigan
more to support her prisons, asylums and uni-
versities than it does other states. If it does
cost her more there’s something wrong some-
wherc,—something that needs to be looked into.

In ferreting out the true facts about the-in-
creased tax rate one discovers some unpleasant
things. It is found that the last session of the
legislature created a number of boards and
commissions, carrying large appropriations, the
need and value of which are questionable. It
appropriation
measures had their inception in the Governor’s

oliice, and were lobbyed through the legislature-

by the (i(’)\'("l‘1101' himself. While it is true that
the appropriations for new boards and commis-
sions are not in the aggregate large compared
with the total state budget, they reflect the
spirit of profligacy which soon became a habit
in the early history of the present administla-
tion.

The truth is that Michigan has had neither
a Governor nor a legislature the past four years
that cared a tinker’s damn about how the peo-
ple’s money should be spent or how high the
taxes mightbc. The question of economy seems
to have been entirely absent from the consider-
ation of appropriation measures. The determ-
ining factors have not been what the people
needed or wanted, but what the politicians in
power needed and wanted to repay their
friends for political service. No one need to-
look any further for an explanation of Michi—
gan’s $7.31 per capita tax.

As we write this the outcome of the primary
election is still in doubt. We don’t know
whether any, all or a part of the numerous
farmer candidates have been successful. We
hope they have, because in the event of their

, election we behave Michigan will stand in a
. [fair way to enjoy once more an old fashioned

rcginie of economy. and business efiiciency in

. The Wool Poo! ' ‘

J UST AS wc expected, Interests unfnemfly

to the ForumBureau have grabbed onto the
wool pool in an afloat-to show that “once more"
the former has been the victim of his waitin-
tonfioned friends. These enemies claim that
theFamBureauwoolpoolhascosttbefarm
are several million dollars. They say that the

"farmers could have and many of them would

have sold their wool at the top of the market
had it not been for the siren voice of the Farm
Bureau. Are these statements true? Let’ s
examine the evidence.

In the first place the pooling of wool by the
Bureau had nothing to do with the bottom
dropping out of the wool market Any effect
that the proposed pooling might have had on
the market would have been to strorigthen in.
stead of weaken it.. The closing of the woolen
mills, the consumer’s protest against high
clothing prices and general financial conditions
Were responsible for the crash 1n the market.

In the second place, while we now know that '

may farmers could have secured a higher price
for their wool than they now seem likely to get,
no one knew it when the pool was being clipped.
Not all the farmers have pooled their wool with
the Bureau. How many of these sold their clip
from the back of the sheep at 65 to 70 cents per
pound i

In the third place, 138 the Bureau has recent.-

ly pointed out, the great majority of wool now
in pool was placed there at a time when wool
prices were much lower than they are now.
Hence the patron of the wool pool has act-
ually benefitted from the pool.

Remember that the Farm Bureau had its

cmics Very bitter enemies they are, 1500.
Men who have made their fortunes out of wool
and other products that the Bureau is handl-
ing or purposes to handle do not intend to sit
idly by while the Bureau runs off with all the
plunder for its members. The decline in the
wool market gave these enemies the opportun-
ity they were looking for to discredit the Bu-
reau. They have played their cards well, but
unfortunately for their game the facts do not
bear out their statements.

Suppose no attempt had been made this
year to pool the wool or to instruct the farm-
ers in an orderly and business-like disposal of
their clip. The first drop in the price would
have frightened thousands into unloading.
That would harm depressed the price still more
and brought out more wool. When a market
once starts downward it works automatically,
——more wool, lower prices; lower prices, more
wool etc, until the bottom is gone entirely. It
looks now as if that very thing would have
happened this year had it not been for the
Farm Bureau wool pool which kept enough
wool out of the market to check its downward
flight to zero.

Beans

UR MARKET editor is obsessed with the
idea that beans are going up. Every lit-

tle crumb of comfort that comes his way he
gobbles up like a hungry tramp. He reminds
us of the man who Was shipwrecked and had

given up all hope of rescue when he spied a,

straw floating upon the surface of the sea. He
clutched at it but history does not record
whether he survived or perished. But history
will record that eve1y time our market editor
jubilantly proclaimed higher bean prices a
bean bear came out of the bushes somewhere
and. smote him cruelly across the shins. In-
stead of going up the bean market has had a
devilish habit of late of going down. And to
what depths it may yet sink no man, not even
the M. B. F.:marke‘t editor, knoweth. ’

At the risk of being accused of inconsistency
we are going to bank on the judgment of our
market editor. Beans are low now for precise-
ly the same reasons that wheat, corn, and oats

more about the yield of the new crop. In

and people of the cities who find the easiest
and most sensational way to explain the high
cost of living to charge the farmers with prof- ‘

absurdly small portion of the consumer s dol-
lar the farmer actually gets. Some of the city
dailies, however, have been doing a little in-

the charge of profitcering. Among these pa-

_ A FAIR. PRICE FOR WHEAT
What is the proper price for
wheat?‘
‘ There are alwaysthree answers to
this Question. One party believes
the price is all right at present, an-
other that it is too low, while a
third thinks it should go lower, and
this difference of opinion brings,
speculation. Just now there is less
speculation in wheat than at any
time in recent years with the excep-

tion of the period of government
control, but there are very sharp
differences of opinion note the value
of the grain. Speculation is prevent-
ed by the high cost of margins, mak—
ing large capital necessary, but its
absence does not prevent frequent
and violent fluctuations in price.

It is a difficult problem the grain
dealer has to solve and frequent are
the mistakes made in attempting to
establish a proper standard of value
for any grain. In other years supply
and demand ruled the price, but just
now and for some time in the past
sentiment has had a great deal to do
with it and the laws that formerly
governed have frequently been set
aside. In former years, ever since
America has raised a surplus of
wheat, the value has been establish-
ed.in, competition with the crops of
the world. The wheat dealers of all
exporting countries met at Liverpool
and fought it out. It was the rule
that wheat should stop declining as
soon as Liverpool became an active
buyer, but this year the American
market has declined sharply with
foreigners buying all the way down.

Early last‘ May No. 1 red wheat
in this market was quoted at $3.20;
early in August it was down to $2.30-
and’this loss of_ nearly a dollar was
a'liibuilt on sentiment. The foreign-
erfwss buying all the time and tak~
lug the. wheat as test ”as facilities

permitted. li-‘heonly restriction was '
theme-micro: Wetlanzr'fihnry'~m' pniceiLWBetrNh-W‘rPrcssc-w 4 -

was no business reason for the de-
cline. It was again the case of the
boy sent to the store to sell eggs at
a certain price, who refused a high—
er offer by the storekeeper. The de-
cline was brought about by emotion
rather than business. People thought
wheat too high and the American
producer together with others in the
trade, had to put up with losses to-
talling in the millions at a time when
every bushel of surplus could have
been sold abroad at the higher price.

There are business men who think
wheat is still too high. They rea-
son that war put the price up; the
war is over, therefore there is uno
reason why wheat should not again
seek its pro—war level. But these
do not take into consideration that
the present crop cost the farmer
three times as much to produce as
did the wheat of former years. The
grain cannot go near its former level
without inflicting tremendous loss on
the American farmer.“ There are
more reasons for an advance from
the, present level. In former years
America was in competition with Rus-
sia, Argentina and Australia in fur—
nishing food to Europe, but all these
competitors have been eliminated.
Russia appears to be out of the ex-
porting business indefinitely. Ar—
gentina and Australia have already
over-exported; in fact, the former is
now a purchaser of American wheat
to replace part of that exported to
Europe. Neither can enter the ex-
port trade again until another crop
has been harvested. This leaves
Europe dependent on America to a
miich greater extent than ever be-
fore. ‘ , -

Practically every country in
Europe needs wheat and nearly all
are now buying in America. This
creates a condition that, in ordinary
business circumstances,._ puts a -> fur-
ther decline out of the question. If
the'surplus can be sold at’b."'.hi"h“j

THE STATE FARM BUREAU AND
THE BANKERS

This is merely intended to correct
an erroneous idea concerning the
Michigan State Farm Bureau at the _ .
bankers' convention which you car-
ried in a recent issue of the M. B. .
F. There were two resolutions con-
cerning the farm bureau introduced
at the convention, the first was of
the character you suggested inyour
story. but the final resolution, as
adopted, contained an emphatic en-
dorsement of the farm bureau with

bureau for speakers to attend the
next sectional meeting. Trusting
that you will accept my calling this
matter to you attention in the co-
operative spirit in which it is done.
I amwd. P. Powers. Assistant Secre-
tary. Michigan State Farm Bureau.

 

Surely we are glad to make the cor-
rection. The only reason we called at~
tention to the matter at all was because
we were amused at the cautiousness of
the bankers who are dependent on a
ricuiture to endorse a movement whi
is so patently intended to develop agri-
culture—Editor.

ANOTHER ANGLE OF PROPOSED
SCHOOL AMENDMENT

We have read with much interest
the letters about the proposed paro-
chial school amendment and have
been able to see the question from
an angle not yet sent in.

The public schools are over—bur-
dened at present from the effects of
epidemics, scarcity of teachers and
from other causes, therefore it seems
harmful to turn any additional bur—
den upon the public school system,
especially at this time.

The author and others in favor of
the amendment forget that parents
have the first right to educate their
childrerx~the state taking the task
only when the parents fair in that
line.

If those people fear for the patriot-
ism of church—educated children why
not turn their attention to compul—
sory instruction in English of both
children and adults in our state who
do not understand American ideals.
Yours for the right—J. N.. Moddersr

and labor on the last day. If I wish
to serve baked beans I have the re-
quired amount carefully looked over
and put away so that they are all
ready to wash and put to soak. A
can of pickles (either beets or cu-
cumbers) is prepared at some con-
venient time and these set aside in
a handy place. As soon as I have ripe
apples I can some apple sauce and
put the cans away with the pickles.
If it is supper that must be prepared
apple sauce and cake makes a simple
dessert that is well liked by most
everyone. Of course any kind of
fruit would do as well, the main
point is that if it is t9 be cooked to
have it ready.

Then several days or a week be—
fore I make a fruit cake of the kind

‘that keeps indefinitely, and cookies
are made the day before the men
are expected. If the men are to be
with us several meals I find these
preparations to be a positive neces—
sity. If I decide that pie shall be
the dessert for dinner it is either
apple or mince as these kinds could
be made late the day before. Such
pies as berry or custard should be
baked fresh just before the meal and
of course leaving this work until
the last is just what we must avoid.

baked apples and cream for dessert
3 on threshing day I heard of one
housewife who did so, and surely
nothing could be more easily and
quickly prepared than this delicious
dish.
I intend that one of my vegetables
this year shall be cabbage salad, and
will prepare the dressing the day be-
fore. In fact one should leave noth-
ing undone that could be done be-
forehand without making the meal
. or~ meals any less wholesome or ap-
.pet_i'z(ihg.—Mrs. W. E., Big Rapids.
Mich.

Meal That Would Tempt Anyone
Of course anyone knows about
when to expect threshers so I make
a large baking of bread and also of
cake that will keep like molasses or
apple sauce cake. I cook beans the
’might before and bake them for din-4
ner. I plan to always make a large
rice pudding and never dish it in
small dishes as that makes so many
to wash. Peel potatoes in the morn-
ing, bake beans and pudding, set the
table for all if you have to borrow
, dishes, have pie that is made the
day before if possible. I always buy

. cookies as farmers get just as
\hungry for baker’s goods as city
‘ folks do for home goods. I have a
- large pan that just fits my oven that
‘ I use to fry meat, then you don’t have
to turn it and it is better flavored. I
do not always have roasts as the
men always say when they get to my
house I will get- some fried meat to-
day and they get awfully tired of
roasts and stews and brown gravy.
, I usually have green corn cooked in
the boiler and on’ the ear so there is
my dinner, potatoes, baked beans,

, Prize Winners in our letter Contest. ”

E HAVE been having some tine here at the ofllce trying to decide
thich letters to award the. two‘prizes offered to. There were so many
of them and they were all so good and helpful that” seems as if all

‘of the“ writers that responded so nobly to our re’tiuest for letters on mak-
ing threshing day work lighter should receive prizes. -- We have finally
decided to award the prizes as'follows: -
1st prize, $2, Mrs; Chas. E. Dunn, Pinconnlng, ,R" 4. .

- 2nd prize, $1, Mrs. Ina Chatron, Armada, R 2. '

that threshers must have everything
you can think of to eat and tire your-
self and half of the neighbors trying
to prepare it as it is just a foolish
fad and not at all necessary—Mrs.
E. G., Oceana County.

Cooks Some Two Days Ahead

I will tell you how I do my cook-
ing for threshers. Two days before
I have threshers I fix my pickles, I
bake a fruit cake, the next day I
bake two kinds of pies and cake, I
buy my cookies, I boil a large piece
of beef the day before. so as to have
it sliced cold, I have chickens killed
the day before and I fry it in butter
for dinner. I buy all my bread so
the day. I have threshers all I have
to do is to-make a large dish of bak-
ed rice, cook potatoes and make the
gravy and set the tables. I am the
mother of eight small children and
I never hire any help for thresh day
and I am never rushed with work
when threshers come. Hoping my
letter will help some one of thresh
day—Mrs. R. H., Montcalm County.

Make Head and Feet Work Together

I am 50 years old and have lived
in southern Michigan on a farm most
of my life. Now it is easy to care
for the threshers if one makes their
head and feet work together. All
I do ’is get everything ready'I can
the day before if I know when they
are coming and we generally do. The
first thing I see is that there is plenty
of good wood and water, then I do
my baking the day before, m'ake
bread pies and fried cakes or cookies.
Then I cook beets and fix them for
pickles also cucumbers or have them
sliced as the case might be.
beef roast—either go to town or send

I get my .

for it. I put that in the roaster and
in .the oven. the night before, if I
can I roast it a little but it is all ready
for morning. Whatever vegetable I
want I get it picked the night before.
I try and sweep and dust and every-
thing I can do to save work‘on the
day I have the threshers. Now all
there is to do on thresh .day is to cook

and set table and wash dishes. I'

can easily care for 20 threshers now
and all alone. Just make youh head,
hands and feet work together, that’s
the secret—Mrs. A. J. V., Gaylord,
Mich. ' .

Has More Than Enough Food

As" you wanted to know how I
made threshing day work lighter, I
thought I would take time to tell you
we threshed 'a few days ago. I had
cold roast beef, brown gravy, pota-
toes, green peas, pickled beets and
pickled string beans, pumpkin pie,
preserved plums for sauce, graham
cookies, cakes baked in gem tins,
bread, butter and tea. Friend Hus-
band came in one day saying, “the
threshers are coming to.the neigh-
bor’s Itomorrow'and I expect. they
will be here next," so I set bread and
the next day I made cookies and
cakesias ,well as bread. I put dried
pumpkin to soak and had my pie
crust ready so as to bake my pies
with my breakfast fire. When hus-

band came home'he said they would ’

not get here until the next day un-
less it rained as another neighbor
wanted to thresh first as his grain
was in the field and ours was in the
barn, so that gave me more time and
I went to the garden and got some
beets and peas. .. I got the peas ready
to cook in the morning while I~was
roasting the meat; A boy dug the
potatoes and helped me get the ex-
te‘sion table ready, then poured the
water just before the man came in
I_ put the soap and water and towels
out of doors for the men to wash. As
it was Saturday we had 14 for sup-
per and enough left over for our Sun-
day dinner. . I had no one to help me
only callers Friday evening helped
me shell the peas—Sister Marie,
Kingston, Mich.

 

 

The Mahin’lof Friends

By Edgar A. Guest

If nobody s'miled and nobody cheered
and nobody helped us along,

If each every minute looked after him-
self and the good things all went to
the strong.

If nobody cared just a little for you, and
nobody thought about me,

And we stood all alone to the battle of
life what a dreary old world it would
be‘!

If there weren’t such a thing as a flag
in the sky as a symbol of comrad’shlp'
here,

If we lived as the animals live in the
.woods, with.nothing held sacred or

dear. . *'

And selfishness ruled us from birth to

the' end and never a neighbor had we,
And ,never we gave to another- in need
. what a dreary old world it would be!

Oh if we were rich as the tricks» on

earth and strong as the strongest
that lives.

Yet never we knew the delight and the
charm of the smile which the other

, mun gives.

If kindness were never a part of ourselv-
es, though'we owned all the land we
could see .

And friendship meant nothing at all to
us here, what a dreary old world it
won be.

Life is sw’et just because of the friends
we have made and the things which in
common we share, ,

We want to live on not Itcause of our-
selves, but because of t 0 people who

care, _

It's giving and doing fin- somebod‘y one,
on that, all life’ splendor depends,

And the joy of _ s world when you've
summed it all up is found in the malt-1

in' of friends.

rifle struck his wrist and traveled
up the forearm to. the elbow, whence
it escaped and passed on. And as
his rifle clattered to the ground he

“knew that never again would that

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Aunt Clare—Please jump over
and give me a little room. I am a girl
15 years old and have blue eyes and
dark brown hair. I amlgoing to school
the last of this month and Will take up
8th grade work, then next year I am go-
ing to Ferris Institute at Big Rapids to
study to be a. school teacher or a book-
keeper. How many of you children like
to go to school? I think every child
should go as far in school as they can
and then begin again. I Will close and
write a story. I would_like to hear from
some of the boys and girls too,

The Bear

The bear is a large, heavy looking
beast with a thick coat of long, so!
shaggy hair. He is very strong an
clumsy, but can swim and climb trees
with ease and skill. Bears are brown,
black or white. The white or polar bear
lives in the far cold north where the
ground is covered with snow and the
sea with ice. Even in June and July.
Bruin’s thick fur coat keeps him warm
and the sharp air gives him a d an-
atite so he is at home where the other
gears would die of cold and hunger. He
can swim as well as walk, he can float
like a (luck or dive like a. fish. his feet
never slip on smooth ice: they are cov-
ered with hair. He sometimes finds seals
asleetron ice or dashes sitter one into
the wateu [-10 catches fish, swift as
they are. Whales serve him as food
also berries and seaweeds. Bears never
attack a man if they can help it. but
when angry they are very fierce, rising
on their hind legs they has their victim
with their forepaws, Bears‘are in many
ways useful to man. Many articles of
dress are made from the skins and fur.
The flesh is good for food and the fat
is used instead of oil.—-—Una, Farrell.

ble. Thatltwas paidbackinafo-w
weeks, mayhave been due in part to
the strident criticism aroused. There
does not appear to be any question
that THE Business Fm voiced the
sentiments of a large proportion of-
the farmers throughout the state.

With the..approximate $6,969 loan
from the Coalition Committee and
another 88,000 raised among the
farmers the leaders among'the ag»
ricnitnrists organized the State Farm
Bureau, elected Mr. Merrill presi-
dent and A. T. Bingham, oi Birming-
ham, secretary. .

Bureau’s AM\’PI‘W

When the constitution and bar-laws
were adopted the purpose of the or-
sanisation was announced to be the
“buying and selling of merchan-
dise. farm machinery, fertilizer,
stock feeds, ‘livutock or any other
farm products whatsoever; operat-
ing storage warehouses; elevators,
creameries. pickling, evaporating, de-
hydrating or otherwise converting or
msufacturing farm fruits, grains,
vegetables or other farm products;
securing better results in grading,
packing, marketing and advertising
the— products of members; renting,
buying, building. owning, selling and
controlling such buildings, equip-
lbcnt or other real and pBrsonal prop-
erty as may be deemed necessary in

the conduct 'of_ the ‘atiairs of this
association".
Probably more significant than

the bureau’s declaration of policies.
which, like all such declarations,
necessarily accommodate themselves
-to circumstances and prevailing opin-
ion among the membership, is the
iiancial arrangement made by the
1 state bureau to supplant the old sys-
tem of payment of county agent sal-
' arise. The salaries are now paid half

by apportionment from the Smith-
Lever Fund, as of. old, but the other
5 half is no longer paid by the coun—
ty boards of supervisors. The farm
bureaus pay; The 50 per cent por—
tion of the salary comes out of the
membership fees.

Counties No Longer Pay

In short, the agricultural county
agents, who are also business agents
of the farmers, are now being paid
by the- people they are working for
instead of by all citizens with the
tax money of citizens. There are
evidences that both the general run
ot..citisene and the farmeroltisens
themselves wanted the matter ar-'
ranged this way. When the agricul-
tural agents became business agents,
promoting. direct dealings between
producers and consumers, and direct
dealing befween farmers and supply
houses, they began a policy which ob.
vionely, if carried out, will put a lot
of middlemen onto! business en-

' tirely. New.

fl a small town can readily be assumed

RELIABLE mar OFFERS PRIZE
[if m SIREB‘ CAMPAIGN
Most of the farmers in Michigan

are familiar, no doubt with

“Better Sires—Better Stock” move.

ment originated by the Bureau of

Animal Industry of the United States

Department of Agriculture, but few,

we believe, know that the Chopin

and company of Chicago. Illinois,

a well known and reputable com-

pany engaged in the manufacturing

of mixed feeds, is odering $1,900 in
prize money to help create a greater
interest in this campaign.

Under rules and conditions pro-
vided by the Bureau of Animal In-
dustry this company will pay a prize
money of $1,000 to that county in
the .United States which iirst be-
comes free from interior sires. The
word "sires” includes stallions, bulls,
jacks, rams, bears and backs, but
not poultry.

A county eligible to receive the
prize must have a total of 590 or
more sires of all classes and 5,000
or more head of female breeding
stock.

All owners of males kept for
breeding purposes in the classes men-
tioned. and a majority of other live-
county must
have declared their intention of here-
after using nothing but purebred
sires by joining the "Better Sires—

reau of Animal Industry.

Agent or the omcer of a county. live—

he- represents is free from inferior
sires, the Bureau of Animal Indus-try
If the
Federal expert finds that the county
is. in tech-free from; inferior sires,
the Chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry will declare that countyss

Co.'he~ld,,z but not to those held by
Lthe Allies. .- For how is it that-these
; very liberal nations do n‘ot'take their

' town medicine: .Thevfacts are that

self-determination otters ’a good way
's-t'o weaken Germany and so make

Other nations safer without risking.

. a quarrel in the allies camp over the

:divi's'izon- of the spoils. This may be.

good statesmanship, but it’ is not
liberad'ity. For hundreds of years it

, has been a favored doctrine in Eur-

ope that war and conquest was a
great honor to—the victor. Under
such sentiments all the chance that
the- weakest nations had for them-
selves was in the jealousy of‘the big
fnations who were unwilling to see
their rivals strengthened by absorb-
ing the little iellov'vs so that as long
as the big fellows could not agree on
a division of the little fellows they
were permitted to go their own way.
With an agreement the big fish would
‘eat up the little ones. So that nat-
urally all of the small nations were
willing to do all they could to be
safe and then most of the big na-
tions rather keep what they had
than risk losing it in an attempt to
steal more so that pure selfishness
led them to favor the league and'so
they too were ready to sign it.

Now let us look at the other part

,bf the article from a sane stand- »

point. When the representatives of
the “old thirteen’: colonies came to-
gether to organize this country they
were almost as much afraid that ‘our
own government would become dic-
tatOria-l and oppress our own people
as they were in English oppression,
hence they did not give supreme au-
thority to any one set of officers but
divided it up, leaving part in the
hands of the states and putting part
of the‘F‘ederal power in‘ the hands
of the House of Representatives, part
in the Senate and part in the Presi—

dent’s hands, all to act according to »

the Constitution with a _Supreme
Court tordecide what was and what
was not according to the Constltw
tion and it is only by these various
parts of our government doing the
part that it was intended to do that
our liberty can be kept safe. In this
case the President and Senate are
charged jointly with the duty of
‘ treaty making. Each is under moral
obligations to use -their best judg-
ment for the benefit of the nation.
To do‘otherwise would be to betray
the people that elected them to of-
flce. Were they to submit to his

judgment regardless of their own it‘

would mean a long stride towards a

, dictatorship and we do not want a

dictatorship no matter how fine the
dictator might be, no, not if the
dictator gave us a better government
than we could have of ourselves. We
want to keep our self-government,
but unfortunately there has been a
tendency to overstep the constitu-
tional rights of the individual, to
try to improve the general public
condition and this tendency is es-
pecially strong in president Wilson.
He insisted on telling us when to
get in the morning and for a whim
he tried to turn lose a flood of
liquor on the country after the
country had gone dry. Fortunately
Congress dared to disagree with him
and passed both measures over his
vote and it is all .wrong to condemn
the Congress for not submitting to
the president nor to conclude that it
is political jealousy that caused the
. rejection of the league. Some of the
strongest things said against the
league and the president's attitude

toward it came from his own party-

But being in the white house with
the large power that a president has
he could crush opposition in his
‘own party for they know that they
could not win next November if he
opposed them and so for political

reasons opposition in his own party

'wast'stitled as they knew that from
ast experience he would try to
talk all opposers, but he could not

am extent and so they spoke out

son did not care to light on such
grounds and so forced the league to
the front to hide his weakest point.
Not belonging to any party I have
no political axe to grind, but I am in
raver of full liberty for all to act
according to their constitutional
right and their own-judgment and

.vote for what they think is best. In
short I am opposed to Ivory-ism just

as much for the U. S. Senate as I
am for ‘Ivoryism for the state of
Michigan. As to the merits of the
league that is entirely a different
question. Let the league be right or
wrong we should use only fair
means in the discussion of it.—
Francis G. 8mm, Isabella County. '

 

It is 'perfectly natural that there
should be widespread disagreement over
League of Nations and the motives which
have inspired some nations to sign it
and others to reiect it. For my part I
find it hard to he love as is charged that
the President of these United States
would betray his country into the hands
of selfish European nations. It is my

" personal conviction after an exhaustive

study of the e document that the

BOY FOR AMENDl-NT

I am a boy fifteen years old and
if I were old enough would vote for
the parochial amendment. I am at
least old enough not to let the Cath-
olics pull the wool over my eyes and
would like to say Mrs. J. M. does
know what goes on behind closed
doors. Maybe some American Cath-
olic are not taught Bolshevism, but
thousands of foreigners are steeped
in Catholicism and know no Ameri-
can-ism. Mrs. J. M. says she hates
Bolshevism. That's funny for her
own kith and kin in Ireland—the
Sinn Felners are worse than the Bol-
shevists and are causing all the
trouble there. An ex-Catholic when
asked if the priests told the people
how to vote, replied, no, but said
they told the people how they would
vote and then the people knew what
to expect. Last year the priests told
the nunneries to vote against the pro-
hibition amendment. Many Oath-
olic people give every cent they can
to the church instead of Liberty
bonds or to some community advance-

PROPOSED AMENDMENT WI

BE BURIED "
When a person does a really good
act I think it should be recognized,
and I think you are deserving of
much credit for your stand on the
proposed school amendment to be
voted on this fall as expressed in
your editorial recently in M. B.
F It is gratifying to know that we
have among us those who are able
and willing to voice their sentiments
against such measures and feel sure
that your sentiments in this matter
are the same as those of the larger
majority of the voters of this state,
and believe that the proposition will
be buried so deep that it will not
be ressurected for some time. You
may rest assured that your editorial
struck a lot of sympathetic chords
and I personally wish to thank you.

pastures become dry and short, flies

great for the average cow-keeper. It
is so easy to simply turn the cows
on the pasture and forget them ex-'
cept, perhaps, on a Sunday once in
a while when they are salted, or if
they be milk cows~when rounded up
morning and night for milking. True
there is a short season, especially in
the corn belt, when pastures are ex-
ceptionally ,good. In May and June
we generally find the grass tender and
green and plentiful in quantity, but
even during these months silage can
be fed with profit to any class of
cattle. During the early part. of
May the grass is more or less watery
and lacks body and nutriment. An-
imals are often injured by the as-
sumption that they are receiving all
the green feed that they need. In

. T KIDDO, President of the Live
Stock Exchange National Bank, ‘
Chicago, is farm raised, a son of

one of Illin-ois’ m-ost noted Shire

breeders. He has just. returned from

a trip thru the Black Hills of South .

Dakota and through Wyoming and

Montana. Of horse breeding in those

states, he says:

“My swing through the northwest-

ern states has satisfied me that the

shortage of foals, yearlings, and two-
year olds is much greater than
farmers realize. During the last
three years, there has been but lit~

tle‘horse breeding in the territory I

visited, but ranchmen are now aware

that it has been unduly neglected and '
are returning to the practice of

breeding their mares in numbers ,
formerly bred. They can raise
splendid horses in the northwest

wherever food supplies are sufficient.
“I visited Lee Simonsen’s famous
Padlock Ranch near Thermopolis,
Wyoming, which is in my judgment,
one of the best improved ranches in
the Southwest, containing altogether
about seventyfive thousand acres of
land. Mr. Simonsen has used pure
bred Percheron and Shire stallions -
for many years and his mares will
average from thirteen to fifteen hun-
dred pounds. They have beenrear—
ed without any grain feed, but have
some alfalfa through the winters. He
had one particularly good pair of
brown geldings, six years old, work-
ing on a camp wagon, and at my re-.
quest, unhitched and weighed them.
They were 3,390 pounds, right. out

a pair of grade Shires as I have seen
in-a long time.» Mr. Simonsen ad-

paid more attention to horse raising
the last three ‘years they would have
been much better off. , .

“The demand for goOd draft hors-
es is very strong right t-h‘Bre in wy-

the; ranchmen are not only going
backto breeding next season but that

fully this pasture subject.

As time goes on silage will be
used more and more for summer
feeding.’ Experience has taught that
it is economical and makes for large
and economical production. It is
the cheapest source of summer feed-
ing, and it prevents the dairy herd
from experiencing that fearful
; shrinkage which we note each year
during'the months of July and Au—
gust. ‘The feeder will learn that he
can keep his animals in full flush
and vigorous condition during a
period when they are, as a rule, set
backand made strippers and unprof-
itable winter producers. With the
summer silo the small farmer living
on forty or eighty acres can keep a
good herd of cattle and do it with
profit. The man who is attempting
to farm too much land can find this
method practical and much more
profitable; he should sell half his
land, and farm the other half bet-
ter: The summer‘silo is wise and
intelligent feeding practice; it tends
to build up the land and make acres
earn a higher rate. Consider the
subject carefully, you men who keep
cattle on your farms; consult those
who have had experience, and I ven~
ture to say you will come to the
summer silo as thousands of others
have donor—A. L. Haecker.

lieves that a much better class of
horses will be produced because of
this discrimination in the selection
of sires. ,

“As a banker, I was particularly
interested in talking with men who
have had experience with tractors
and trucks on farms, and was abso-

tion that they are much more ex—
pensive in consideration of service
rendered, than good draft horses.
Many of the farmers have discarded
them on this account.

"Farmers in the corn- belt will
profit if they buy three year 'old
range bred mares which carry three
or four crosses of draft blood. They
usually stand 16 hands high and
weigh 1,200 pounds and over. These
mares are suitable for farm work

and fifth years, will grow stronger
and heavier, greatly increasing in
value. At the same time, it will per-
mit the release of mature, harden—
ed farm horses now on the corn belt
farms at a, good price for the pres—
ent city demand. This will relieve
the shortage of city drafters'. until
increased breeding can bring on a
new “crop” of the right type of
horses.

farmers, I know that good draft

HOGS NEED PLENTY OF SHADE
AND CLEAN WATER

Shade and clean water during the
summer months are essential to suc-
cessful pork production. .All kinds
of hogs must have shade. Too much
direct sunlight and heat is a frequent
cause of hogs failing to thrive and
is often_ the cause of hogs dying. Dur-
ing July and August small pigs often
blister on the backs and about the
cars which causes, in some cases, se-
vere infections and bad sores .

Expensive shelter is not necessary.
Shade trees provide ample protection.
Where no trees exist temporary shade
may be provided by the covering of
a frame with canvas, under which
the hogs may go for protection. Some
producers build individual hog hous-
es with sides that may be lifted to
provide an incredsed amount of
shade during the summer months.

Clean fresh water for drinking
and wallow is equally as important
as, or more important than, shade.
The old time wallow hole coveredr
with scum which was once also the
drinking fountain is no longer in
favor with the successful hog feeder
Hogs must have water to drink, and
if they cannot havefresh clean wa-

ter in the trough or fountain, they ,

will drink 'where they can find it,
regardless of its condition. This fact

“file-111’ wallow" I is l ‘‘‘‘‘‘
ant Hogs may use'the muddy
Ow if no- other is available; _ but,

again if the clean water is provided

in a concrete wallow they will pre—
far it to the mud hole. ' Concrete
wallOws are not expensive accom‘
to the University of MisSouri L
legs or Agriculture, if constructed at
odd times, when regular f'a‘rm labor
can be utilized. An excavation 6 x 8
feet, or larger, and about 14 inches
deep walled and floored with con-\
crete and filled with water will
prove a profitable attractition to the
hOgs on hot summer days.

 

SWINE BREEDERS’ PICNIC

The members of the AsSociations,
families and friends held the first
annual Poland China Picnic at Cry—
stal Lake, Montcalm County, Mich.
A very large gathering listened with
intense eagerness to the masterly
way in which Mr. M. M. Wiles Of
Kirklin, Ind., addressed the Associ-
ation. He went over. the situation as
they are today and the future as it
looks to the breeders. He used as
his subject, “Michigan as a
State, Compared With Other States."
He also brought out the point that
our State is considered as a sand pile

, by many less informed, but on a sur-

vey will find land as good as is found
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
in sections. Breeders were present
who drove over 60 miles in order to
be able to attend this picnic.
The" Association has grown 100
per cent since its organization last
spring. Much interest is shown by
the Poland China Breeders all over
the State. The first sale circuit ever
held in Michigan will be pulled off in
October, when five firms will sell
registered Poland China hogs, all
im-muned from cholera. This will
be an opportunity for the farmer as
never before in our state, to attend
several sales and purchase pure bred
hogs at his own price, as they go on
block to highest bidder. The purpose
of the Ass' 11 is to educate the farmer
to feed better bred hogs for market
at less eupense for feed, promote the
public sales of Poland China hogs

cars for shipments.

During the period in which the

demand for new telephones has "

been greater than ever before,
supplies have been more severely
curtailed than at any time in the
history of the Bell System. Spe-
cial representatives have scoured
the country; visiting mines, facto-
ries, laboratories, shipping points;
and rushing goods forward.

The impressive conclusion is
that, in the face of such conditions,
the Bell System has actually gained
on demand. and has exceeded all
previous records putting in new
telephones.

N every community of any
size there are two types of
tire dealers—one who en-

courages his customers in their
search for the best and one who
tries to persuade them to be sat—
isfied with what, they have.

The first man is selling a ser—

vice; the second, tires.
* 3* if

There are still too many
motorists who meekly accept
the blame for a tire that has
worn out before its time.

They will listen while the
dealer tells them of all the vary—
ing conditions that a tire has to
undergo. '

They will agree when he pio
t . tures them as lucky that they

got what they did out of a
tire.

Not one motorist in five has
yet found out what a tire is
really capable of—4-how much

he really has a right to expect

from his tires.
% # . * '

The great mass of motorists
in this country are just begin-
ning to .wake up to. the fact
that you can’t encourage Waste
and have economy at the same
time.

They are beginning to find

out for themselves what makes‘

for economy in tires.

And they are going to the
dealer Who not only sells good
tires to the man who insists

 

 

If thefmnt tire of the bar at
the left should blow out several ‘ -
. days after striking this stone at
speed, its owner would probably
be at a loss to know what '
caused it.

What often happens in a case —
like this is that the inner plies
of cord or fabric are ruptured,
leaving the tire ripe for a com-v
plate breakdown, if nOt imme-

diately attended to.
~ The safest way to avoid all
3 such contingencies is to keep a
:' sharp watch an the road at all
t mes. ‘

have anything but good tires '
