The following statement on. the subject of legislation has Just been issued by the state farm bureau: “A definite legislative program is being drafted by the Michigan State Farm Bureau. It does not contem- : plate the :inclusion of any requests or ' that may be branded as 'class’ ‘radical.’ While the program deals primarily with-agricultural matters, it will contain, when announced, nothing that basically will not be of benefit to the common weal. “While part. of the farm bureau program that will be presented to the legislature is complete now, it is deemed unwise to issue it' publicly prior to the November election. It is desired by this course to eliminate the possibility of any candidates us- ing it for personal propaganda. Pre- clection promises have lost favor in recent years. It is desired that there he no opportunity for any one to use the program of the farm bureau as ammunition for pro-election prom- toes. "The farm bureau has asked its great membership, which is repre- sentative of approximately 225,000 votes, to use its own good judgment at-~ the polls. It is believed that the goingle expressions of individuals will " result in better representation in the state assemblies being secured than if the individual votes were influx-- ‘ enced to any extent by declarations " from an overhead organization. “Everyone of the county and com- .Tmunity units of the farm bureau. .' are in close touch with the state or- ganization and articulation on var- ious subjects by the individual mem- bers of the organization is possible." STATE TAKES STEPS To LOOK AFTER RURAL HEAJII‘H Steps are now being taken to- ward the control of communicable _ disease carriers and the consequent cutting down of epidemics of pro- ventable diseases will materially raise Michigan's preventable disease standing in comparison with other states, according to Dr. R. I. Olin, state health commissioner. “Any carrier," reads the regula- tion now being distributed to phy- sician-s and health officers through- "out Michigan, "of a dangerous com- municable disease that under the rules and regulations of the Michi- gan Department of Health is subject to quarantine or isolation shall be isolated or quarantined as provlm shall -not be permitted to attend any school, church, theatre or other pub- lic assemblage, or otherwise come in contact with the public. “The term 'carrier’ " applies to any person har- boring the virulent organisms of a Though the which may be the cause of severe f' f Folowing the . of department ' for .preventingyszessible epidemics pro—school exa , i ’ of carried on in many localities. “Ian! communiticsr where. health of children is considered of you, have followed this plan and several thousand school children in squchigan will profit this fall by the work," states Commissioner Olin.

' FARMERS GET LESS FOR MILK On Monday of this week. the Milk Commission of the Board of Com- merce, Detroit, decided that the price of milk to the city consumer shall not change for at least another month. The price of milk to the pro— ducer will be 80 cents per cwt., low- er, being reduced from the present rate of $4.10 per cwt. to 83.80.

I BEANS IN EAST ADVAN According to the Journal 0 Com- merce, New York. beans have ad- vanced the least of forty-dve differ- ent food articles. The highest per- centage of increase from». 1914 to 1920 was 400, the lowest 13, with an average for the 45 products of 112 per cent. Beans showed the smallest increase, or 13 per cent, be- ing listed at $6 in 191‘ and $6.76 when the survey was made. A1; to- day's price beans are lower than be- fore the war. Dairy Show theater. The remainderxof/the cat— tle will be housed south on 48rd street across the viaduct. 0n the ground floor directly under the cat- tle barns the show horses will be found. With the exception of about half a dozen barns all space facili- ties of the International Live Stock Exposition will be utilised." A feature that should be mentioned at this time relates to the facts that will be presented by the government concerning the cost or. producing milk. There is much mlsnndmstand— ing about milk ’ production costs. Consumers have been led to believe that the dairymon gets more than he deserves for his product. while the ' dairyman, on the other hand, is con- square feet, the total space that will ' berequiredtoholdtbedairymach-' vinced that he is not getting what he should in-proportion to the labor, risk and capital involved in. produce. tion.

The price of the lost has donhled since the Great War began. and it seems worth while. to analyze some aspects of possible reduction. If we _. examine the component items in the ‘cost of the :1-2 cent compound lost in New York, assuming average wheat and flour, wewill find it can be divided approximately as follows: .

The balance of the flour prices goes to . handling,- storage; - inland .. transporter tion, milling, wholesale distribution. This should tend to dissipate any no— , tion that the farmer is primarily re- . sponsible for doubling the mice of the lost. In fact, a reduction of 60 cents a bushel in wheat would affect the loaf but (me cent. ’ 'No Profit in Wheat at Lower Prices _ In addition to, any illusion with regard to the size of the farmer’s re- sponsibility in increased price, it is desirable tovrevlew certain economic reasons why any immediate reduc- tion- in the farmer’s return is unde- sirable, and why, ~in the long'yiew, even in gradual downward ocenmfiic readjustment, the price of wheat must remain, at far above prewar levels. ‘ As to the immediate market pros- pects, it would indeed be a courage- " .ous mauwhio would make prophecies as to the course of prices in the ' present abnormal condition in the world's trade and the internal fin- ancial situation and overseas trans- * portation. During the harvest year ahead. the great exporting centers of the woridi'will have-available “some 575 to 625‘ million bushels or wheat for export. The import necessities _of Europe, it the bread consumption were restored to normal, would ex- ceed this amount. Thirty per cent of the population of Europe are still' under bread ration. This thirty per cent will increase or decrease with a. change in financial condition or so- cial stability of Europe and the de-' mand will fall or rise aocot‘dingly.’ In augment, there does not appear, either any great Shortage or any great surplus.

It is vital that the buying'pcwer of Europe should even in the interest of its own people be used intelligently and to support future American production. Where- as Russia and the areas now compos- ing the Balkan States furnished, un-I der prewar conditions, the rest of Europe from .209 to 250 millions of bushels of wheat per annum, the Western Hemisphere has had to as- sume the burden of replacing this lost production in order that Europe may have bread. The production of the Western Hemisphere has increas- ed since prewar to an amount just about equal to the deficiency in ex- ports Irom eSoutheastern Europe. This increase in production has been obtained in very large degree by an increase in price that stimulates the cultivation of areas that would not otherwise be profitable for wheat raising. There is no likelihood of full recovery of Southeastern Eur-3 ope’s experts for some years to come. If Europe takes advantage of any temporary power to artificially re- duce' our prices, it will commit sui— cide: Such a course would certainly result in a decrease of production in the :Western Hemisphere. It Eur- .cent per loaf for it. ope is to have broad supply from us, it will only be by the maintenance of a high price level for wheat. Such price levels may penalize us also a cent per loaf, but without their bread we should have chaos in Eur~ ope and we will pay more than a so much for the immediate crop. For the long view, while prices of all kinds will adjust themselves downward with deflation, I am con- vinced that wheat should not, or, in the long run, cannot return to the same ratio price to other commodi— ties as that which it held prior to the war. In other words, if something like prewar prices should again pre- vail, I do not believe ‘we will over any considerable term see the old 90 cent wheat, or any thing like it. Dur- ing the war the price 01' wheat was successfully held at a higher ratio than other commodities—an index of about 243 for wheat against 186 for other commodities in 1917—in order to induce larger production. If we take the 1913 year average price of wholesale wheat and other commodi- ties as 190,, at the present time these prices are approximately 300. for wheat and about 270 for other com- (today. l i > My Vote for President D Debs , Dan-fishermen It [33m Dom I‘fDOyon'ibeiioveinaiaeugtueofA'Nations? . . . . . . . . ..

That is,.if oth- er copuhodities should return to I”, wheat must hold 15$ or some other considerable excess. . - There are many reasons for this. .. One of them is that the expansion of the possible wheat area in themat- ed States is now comparatively lim- ited unless we trench on other es- sential production. In fact, there is even indeed serious shrinkage of wheat area in prospect, due to the unoonquered invasion of rust in our spring wheat areas of the northwest. This threatened deficiency must he maintained by an inducement to ex- pand hard wheat production in the Southwest. Furthermore, our aver- age yield of wheat per acre must have a steady increase if we are to meet the necessities of an advancing . An increase from our ,' average of less than 16 bushels tow- ‘- ard the average of Western Euro- ' population. pean production of over 25 bushels per acre is in the main the possible source of supply in the long run. This can only be obtained by more intensive cultivation and the larger use of fertilizers, and these extra costs do not show a profit return at present ratio prices. The American “farmer naturally can only engage in extra expense for extra return. It is sometimes said that our breadstuif needs will outgflw our capacity for the production of Wheat. This is not necessarily the cascwithin our country, for it is always possible to contemplate an increase per acre that would keep pace with our increase in population. But this cannot be accomplished on the basis of the pre- war ratio price of wheat commodities. The Extra Profits If we examine the 75 per cent of the cost of the loaf which lies out- . side the wheat farmer's portion, we will find it comprises about 7 cents for. wages and salaries in transport, handling grain, milling, baking and retail distribution and subsidiary in- gredients, and we will find that this item has doubled during the war. We will also find that legitimate profits on the capital employed in these ser- vicm amount to about 1.50 cents; that farmers, other than grain, re— ceive about .20 cents tor lard, milk, and other ingredients, and that there is today about .35 cents of what may be be for the moment profits.” ‘ There are components of the price which can be reduced without trenching either upon the farmer, the wage earner or legitimate profits. The, .35 cents which i have called “extra profit” is appmximately the increased" spread between the tarm— er and the consumer above a normal spread in stable markets. It is not necessarily profiteering. In highly fluctuating prices, such as we are .now going through, there is both tendency and reason for the hand; ling and manufacturing trades. to se- cure.themselves against great haz- ards of fall in price by taking a larg- er margin than is necessary inptimes of more stable markets.

Third—That he must adopt a standard grade for the entire indus- try—not for the locality. Fourth—That he and his neighbor ' must sign an iron clad contract, each 'n with the other, for a term of years. Fifth—That he must organize on a business basis and adopt the same, "business methods to -his co-operative marketing assOciatio'n as do the (great businesscorporations to whom he sells. _ V _ _ ' The Oregon Growers' (Jo-operative Association is a typical example- of all fixe. Of these fundamentals of business applied to co-operative mar— ‘ keti‘ngaof: farm, products in the .Pa- ,_ cific northwest. With minor excep- tions all the great associations of the Pacific northwest have adopted the same general plan of organization. The Oregon fruit growers were or- iginally organized by localities in- stead “of ‘commodities. Some-twelve or fourteen local associations were operating ’in the variOus fruit grow- ing sections of Western Oregon.’None v of them produced in sufficient quan— tities to guarantee anyilarge produc- each. and every one of them were in co‘mpeti— tionwith each ,other for the same markets; they were not factors as'in- -dividual organizations in the open market. 'Like most local‘ass-ocia— tions they were bpt another .middle-- man selling‘ to an individual specu- lat‘or.

' Briefly, the plan, as applied by the ' Oregon Fruit Growers’ Association is as follows: _ = a. ' : The Oregon Growers' ‘Coroperative association was organized under'the Oregon co-operative law, without capital stock. '~Its membershlp'is lim- ited to bona- this fruit growerm-Ever-y member upon applying for member- ship pays an entrance fee of_$10 and signs an unbreakable contract agree- ing to sell his fruit to the association for a period of five years. The asso- ciation guarantees to return to the grower the full re-sale price of his fruit, less only, the actual costof handling. The association is purely democratic in operation—every mem- ber has .one vote and one vote only. It will be notedithatt the association becomes the owner ,of the fruit——-not the agent. The reason for this will be hereafter, seen. [It is the funda- mental basis upon which all financ- ing by the association is done. _ The co—operative . association, which is non profit in operation, then organized a subsidiary corporation under the corporate laws of the state of Oregon. - This association has a capital stock of $1,000,000divided into "$500,000 of common Stock and $500,000 of preferred stock. Par Value $10 a share. Every member in the association buysone $10 share . tired annually. of stock for every acre of bearing or-‘ chard owned at the time of entry. . For this stock however he does not pay cash but gives two notes due, in one and two years respectively and at the same time'authorizes-‘the as-g sociation Ito_deduct-=-from his pro-' ceeds of the sale of his~ fruit an amount sufficient to pay off each year’s instalment on his stock. In the first six months 25,000 acres of, bearing orchards were signed up. in the association and of course $250,: 000 of common stock in the subsi- diary corporation was purchased by members for which $250,000 in notes er. ,Organizati’tm, lack' of kn we» were given. This acreage represent-L, ...... mi ~— ' its subsidiary corporation. ‘_notes were more. than thirty secured ~and asi'such were eagerly grabbed by ,ban‘kers who recognized the secur- 1it’y‘back of them. This gave the. as— fsociation more than $200,000 with which to buy warehouses and make other permanent investments through Common stock holders in- the corporation vest their voting rights in a trust deposi- ted withrthe association for the full term of the fiveyear contract thus giving the association itself at .all times control over-its subsidiary cor- poration. - ' ‘ » The preferred stock bears 7 per cent cumulative interest and is divid- ed into five classesdue to be amortiz-' 'ed~serially‘—‘$100,000 every year for :five years—the period of the mar- keting agreement between the asso- ciation. and its members. The asso- ciatidn made a contract between it- self and its subsidiary'whereby the corporation agreed to pack and pro- cess the fruit belonging to the asso- ciation at"cost. In return for this the association guaranteed to pay the -7 per cent interest on the preferred stock every year. Thus at the end of five years all the. preferred stock would ,be retired and all'theremain- .ing common stock -would' be (in the hands of the growers through their own association. 7 ' . The associationnunder the terms of its marketing agreement is “per- mitted to deduct .from its members proceeds this $100,000 on a pro rata basis of amount‘of fruit delivered. It is also authorized to deduct an amount sufficient to payth‘e 7 per cent interest. All this in addition to the cost of packing and processing and the. cost of operating the associ- ation. With $7,000,000 of fruit, of -which the association has become'the ~ V owner under the marketing agree- ment, it will be readily seen that the security behind the stock is 14 times the total amount offlauthorized. preferred stock issued and is actual— Ily seventy times the maximum amount of preferred stock to be re- _ It happens that only about $200,000 of this preferred stockhas been sold (although the association could easily sell it all) to diver-s bankersin thejfruit growing section. Thus there is only $40,000 to be retired annually. I The actual sum which must" be deducted from the $7,000,000 ,19201ruit crop sales by the association to pay 'off the prin— cipal. .and interest this yearfis $54,- 000 or not quite eight tenths of one- per. cent ofithe tum-sales... The total operating expense of the association excluding the above eight tenths of one per centis estimated not be ex- ceed 1 1-2 per cent this-year so that the total expense of operation will probably not exceed 2 1-2 per; cent at the maximum. Every farmer member is satisfied with this meth— od of financing his warehouse pur- chaseunder .the plan in operation] They pay for these warehouses any— how when they have no co-operative association, but under this business- like plan they pay for them out of their, crop, they own them' from' the beginning, and When theyihave com- pletely. paid for themfltiii'fiug'h these deductions they ;own "them without having :Lhad. to...p.ay spot cash out Of ‘thei‘rown pockets forthein. , ' Thésplan of, financing crop,» ship- ments is'eQualiy simpler-girlie associ- ation, when it delivers the fruit-to ‘1 the warehousing corporation receiv— es therefore a ‘Wareh-ovuse receipt which intakes over to. its bank in 3 Attached "to the“ re-~ Ee: covering 75 per. cent l.-.4ma;rlret’ value. or, ~ w as been Vairead'y said This ‘ Copyright 19-0, by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.

' Back in the old. days there was x..one individual in every royal court ,whose doubtful pleasure it was to litaste‘every morsel of food from the 3Kin'g’s plate before it was passed to. his Majesty. If, after taking an ex- perimental sip of the King’s wine, the Royal taster threw a fit and died ,on the floor, it was assumed that the :wine was not‘good for a healthy Aking to drink, and they got a new bottle—and a new Taster. '7 The New York infant who howled so lustily in 1877 is now Taster for His Royal Highness, the American Public. Fortunately for Dr. Als- berg and for the public he serves, it [is no longer necessary to obtain a new taster every time a new food poison is discovered. If it were, Als- berg would need more lives than the toughest Thomas cat that ever squall- -:ed. beneath a midnight moon. During the next few years, he : .seemsto have acquired consuming in- terest in the physiology of plants and animals, for we find Carl L. Als- berg studying the science of chem— istry in leading American and Eur- :opean universities. Ill If it .- He graduated from Columbia Col- rlegefin 1896 with the degree of ngaohelor of Arts, and received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 90.0 from the same college. After extending his studies in the leading -_universities of Europe, Dr. Alsberg —.-returned to America to teach biologi- jcal chemistry at Harvard University, where, three years later, he was made chief of the Department in Biochem— .istry. ANY AND varied have been the ~ hatreds entertained in Europe during the last several centur- ._ es, but it appears that now. a good mart of it is united in hat-ing Amer- ca. In the words of Frederick Palm— r, the war correspondent, who . seems to have had exceptional op- ' ortunities to observe the present tu-ation: "If every American who ’ent abroad had set out to be a quar— elsome boor we could not have bet- er succeeded in making ourselves isliked.” This state of affairs puz- les Mr. Palmer, and he set out to lscover the reason for. the wide- spread ill—feeling toward a nation which only a couple of years ago ap- arently was held in high esteem by uropeans. To that end, he began sking wherever he went the ques- .,ion in effect, “Why don’t you like us?” The answers varied in the 'ifferent countries, but all agreed in he matter of finding fault with Am- rica. What he considered Ameri- _an’s‘patronizing attitude during the war and her aloofness now was as- Bigned by a Briton as the chiefcausa “of British irritation. The Poles ididn’t deny that .America’s relief work in Poland had been fine, but ey complained that in fighting ty- us in their country the Americans ad followed an unpopular method hen they asked the peasants to take ‘ the and fumigate their houses.

His eyes are the quick, inter es t e d eyes of one who loves his work and fellow men. We have seen how the old style ‘» Royal Taster depended upon his pal- ate to protect his patron, but Carl L. Alsberg doesn’t depend upon his palate to detect the harmful'element in an adulterated article, or, for that matter, the good element in a good food article—for he does that, too—— nor was he given a melancholy choice between his office and a man- sized chopping block. The American Public doesn’t do things that way. First, the government prepared an extensive and unbelievably delicate instrument for measuring chemical values, and then it hunted up the man most capable of using this mag- nificient apparatus.

That the country is facing a pro- . longed period of price reduction, - along all lines, is universally conced- ed, by everyone who has intimate knowledge of current business con- ditions. .Men, connected with the selling and shipping departments of all large manufacturing plants, are frequently heard using the expres- sion “cancelled orders," these days and no one is bold enough to vent- ure a prediction as to where it will all end. That the men who make the future production plans for the big manufacturing enterprises 61 the country are adopting a conservative attitude, is becoming more and more apparent as time goes 011. Henry Ford‘s recent price revi- sions and his confident announce- ment that all commodities must, hereafter, be sold on a pm basis has been one of the principal topics ’ up for discussion, in financial and in dustrial circles, during the past iveek. No one seems to understand Mr. F’s . mental attitude or the real object I to be accomplished by the mode of ' procedure that he, has adopted; he has stated that he does not intend to cut wages. Now, while it is recall- ed that Mr. Ford was the first man- ufacturer in the country to make a large increase.in wages, it is also a fact that he did not follow up to the limit of war-time wage levels. He cannot. therefore. hope to reduce the cost of his products by reducing wages now or at any time in the near future; in this connection only two conclusions, concerning Mr. Ford‘s intentions, can he arrived at. In the first place, he evidently believes that the reduced volume of production, which always follows a reduction in the selling price of a manufactured ,commodity will eventually bring down the cost of the basic material used. in the manufacturing process. In a word. Mr. Ford is playing for a big drop in the cost- of structural steel. - There is another objective toward which Mr. Ford. together with many other manufacturers. is evidently .moving: while he disclaims any in- , tentiou of cutting wages, he does ex- pect to be able to greatly decrease ithe labor charge, in the factory cost ,of‘ his cars, by speeding up daily pro- duction records.

Wheat, from the Dominion, is being taken both for domestic milling purposes and for foreign account. Exporters have been active all the week but on the break, last week, all bull arguments seemed to lose their force; the de- ferred options sympathized with a declining market in corn and oats and chaos reigned. The opening on Monday, of -the current week, Wis quite dinerent and wheat prices re— covered mucb of the recent loss and took on an air of comparative flrm- ness. Receipts have been small at Chicago of. late and. all advices from the country indicate that the farmer is preparing to hold his crop.

It has been many years since shelled corn sold below $1 and there 'are many who believe that it will hardly do so this year. Corn had a sharp rally on Monday of the current week, shorts running for cover and the market showing the first real strength that has developed since the slide began. Statistically, the situa- tion is decidedly weak: the growing cr'op is saidto be very nearly out of danger from frost and there is very little of encouragement in connec- tion with immediate or deferred de- mand for this cereal. The corn pro- ducts companies are said to be run- ning on short time schedules and the present prospect for a heavy de- mand for feeding purposes, seems to be extremely remote. Chicago re- ceived 2,206 cars of corn last week against 1,278 the week before and 851 for the same week, last year. BYE, BULL AND FEATURELESS The rye market has been following the lead of wheat for several days past and there are as yet no signs of early independent action on the part of this grain. No. 2 rye is selling for $1.78. On this date, last year No. 2 rye brought $1.41. ‘ / OATS LOOK T00 LOW Oats declined sharply last week, in sympathy with wheat and corn because of an almost completelack ' of shipping demand for this cereal. ‘ On Monday of this week prices hard- Foster’s Weather Chart for October 1920 V temperatures: above sir-kin line warm. below Crooked WASHINGTON.

New York reports Maine potatoes selling for $2 per cwt. or just about the amOunt of the freight and other marketing expenses; this is certain- ly bad news for the Maine potato growers in view of the fact that the crop is yielding only a little more than‘one-half a much per acre as was expected early in the season. Very few Maine farmers are selling their potatoes at this time but are filling every inch of storage room available with the intention of holding until the market improves. New York re- ports potatoes coming from Pennsyl- ‘ vania that only bring $1.65 to $1.75 per cwt.; this year's crop of early Pennsylvania potatoes are said to look well but are found to be hollow at the heart. » Chicago reported the cal-lot pots- to market lower, last week, with ins creasing arrivals of stock of only fair quality. The Bureau of Mar- kets reported the arrival of 8,911 cars of potatoes in Chicago during. the week ending Sept. 18; this was 750 cars more than the preceding week but 1,436 cars less than for the corresponding week, last year.

Medium grades of steers and branded‘cattle felt the decline meet during the last six days, the less in value on the Chicago mar- ket. ‘for the former, equaling $1.50 r cwt. in many cases; coarse randed steers have declined fully 88 per cwt. since the beginning of last week. Arrivals of range cattle in the Chicago market, last week, were the largest of the season so far; for the first four days more than “.000 range cattle came to hand, nearly all of them of the medium in- faster grade. The native cattle that .have come to hand at western points during the past week have been large- ly on the medium and common or- der, making little less than a glut of this. particular. grade of cattle. ' Butchers cattle had a hard time of- it in Chicago last week. Prices ranging unevenly from 81 to $1.50 especially disheartening to the‘sell- ing side rot-the market: casting about for an explanation of this last break in lamb values the information comes to hand that another cargo of frozen lambs, from New Zealand, came to hand in NewYork the oth- er day while it universally conceded that the majority'of American eaters of mutton and, lamb, will not _buy frozen lamb if they know what'it is, the presence of the stuff in our mar— ket acts as a wet blanket on the trade and values declin-evof‘ their own weight. Durin gnearly all, of last week, feeding lambs outsold the fleshler kind, but on Monday of the "current week, Chicago reported an extremely dull trade in this branch of the market and somewhat lower . prices. \ Live Hogs and Provisions After the bad break in live he); and commodity values, early last week, the market righted to again and headed upward but not with quite the activity in movement that characterized the trade of the .week before, when both Detroit and Chi- cago paid $18.25 per cwt. for top hogs. Barring the strike period, last ' April, last week’s Chicago hog re- per cwt. lower and an extremely dull ‘ trade __at the decline. Conditions in the butcher division, during recent market sessions at all points, have dilated from those that have ruled previously in that department. The break in the values has included the 'choicer grades of butchers cattle which heretofore have just about‘held steady with the Same firmness which has-characterized the trade in choice steers: recently, how- ever, the choioe grades of , butchers cattle have declined just as much as the commoner kinds. Bologna bulls, have held their own fairly well and ' canners have held their own since the break, early last week, of 50 cents per cwt. in this, department. The better grades of feeding cattle have held just about steady. this week but the common to good kinds are shanply lower; some little stacker , .“kinds have lost more than $1 per c‘wt. in the last seven days. Many high—grade feeding cattle have ‘ changed hands 11 Chicago of late, at prices ranging from $12 to $13.50 per cwt.; some very plain but use- ful stock cattle brought from $6.50 . to $7.50 per cwt. ‘ The writer of this "article is of the opinion that the present is a very opportune time for feeders, who desire cattle for this winter, to “get busy.” A ‘ The Sheep and Lamb Trade The past week has developed many jdisoouraing things for the selling side of the sheep and lamb market to think of and on the close, last Saturday, in Chicago, mature sheep had“ a new low4prioe record ' for the season. The average quality _ of the oflerings wasniuch below-that of any preceding week this year, many thin, canner kinds coming to _ ,1'.hanfd suggested a general clean—‘ . , ~ .jp on many'farms, with“ the deliber- T m‘miflgflon quitting} the business magi; ,V Week's aver- ceipts were the smallest in more than a year and 27,400 below the average for the corresponding week ii the last nine years. The average weight of the bugs that come to Chicago last week, at 242 pounds, was nine. pounds lighter than that of the week before and 16 pounds lighter than for the corresponding week last year. Trade In Detroit Stock Yards ‘ The Detroit live stock market never had a meaner nor more unsatisfact- ory trade in all departments than it has had during the past week and both shippers and commission sales- men are completely discouraged with the deal. The average quality of the cattle‘that have been coming to De- troit, of late, has been very low and the buyers for this kind of cattle, have been conspicuous by their ab- sence ;the writer cannot remember a market session with so few huy‘ers present as that which was held in the Detroit stock yard, last Monday. The big local outfits flew out of the market entirely‘ and the interven— tion of several Jewish holidays kept the Hebrewout of the equation; there were nearly 1,500 head of com- , mon cattle on-oi‘fer, a fair represen- tation of shippers and commission ~saiesmen. but, practically, no buyers to hold up the other end of the game. As an indication! of how dull the trade really is, the writer saw a fair- ly good load of 17 Shorthorn steers, averaging 1,080 pounds, sell for» 80.0019“ cwt.; there hasbeen no time this year, prior to last week, when these cattle would not have brought $11 per cwt. . V The Detroit veal calf trade has been dull and steady during the past week. The supply of lambs has been very; common of late and tradg has dragged along with a top 'of $13.50. In comparison with other markets, hogs have been the Jonah of the De- troit live stock deal since they jump- ed up to $18.25 on Monday, Septem- .ber 20. the sold Only one market in whole country, Kansas City, ' hogs as low last week as Detroit did; , even St. Louis, 110., which, location 7. considered, should be a dollar per cwt. lower than here did not do near- ly as low as Detroit'did last week. On Monday of the" current ‘w‘e‘ek, $17.50 was the top .priee paidyfor hogs but- only a‘tew hogs brought this :price on the same day. $17.85 was paid in Chicago, $17.90. in East St. Louis, $18.15. in Toledo. and $18.50 in Cleveland.

This will be a piece 0! news that will open the eyes of many of our readers. “ ‘Sugar took a jump from 16 cents, the figure Friday, to 28 cents Saturday.’ “That is a statement made in the Mormon church official paper, the Deseret News. It is a terse descrip- tion of modern brigandage. “More than any other one individ- ual, Heber J. Grant, president of the Mormon church, ‘prophet, seer and revelator,’ can determine what price the people of this country shall pay for the sugar which they use. "Now be it known, Heber J. Gramt prophet, seer and revelator of Mor——- monism, is president of the Utah-Ida- ho Sugar Company, which is the big bull elephant of the sugar herd. And he holds that presidency solely be- cause he is that prophet. The two offices — polygamous prophetship, and sugar presidency —— have run to- gether as a one man dual office for twenty years. The second elephant in the herd is the Amalgamated Sugar Company; and the president of the Amalgamated is Anthon H. Land, first couselor to the prophet, seer and revelator of the Mormon church. And Lund holds his sugar office be- cause of his church office. “It is under the manipulation of this Mormon sugar combine that su- gar ‘took a jump from 16 cents a pound one night to 28 cents a pound the next morning. “Mark you, during those twelve dark hours, there was no increase in cost of production nor in cost of disg tribution. “The sugar was in sack or barrel in warehouses. Friday night 200,000I 000 pounds were priced at $32,000,000. Saturday morning the same 200,000I 000 pounds were priced at $56,000,- 000. An increase to the sugar mag- nates of $24,000,000 in one night. “But this increase is only ‘smali change for the sugar gougers. Be- fore its imposition they had already taken practical possession of the household pocketbook. On the 19th of May, 1920, W. J. Lauck, consulting economist of the railroad brotherhood stated that at Washington that sugar should sell at 11 1—2. cents a pound. All beyond this was robbery. Mr. Lauck gave out some figures which indicate to some extent how the Am- erican people are being mulcted. The income tax returns for 1917 showed that beet sugar producers earned 52.28 per cent of their capital stock. Much of this capital stock was water- ed; and sugar averaged to sell at the factory for probably less than 8 cents a pound. . What the profit will be for 1919 and 1920, with sugar selling at 28 cents, no one can now tell; but taking the figures for 1917 as a basis, we may be assured that the sugar barons will take some hundreds of millions of unjust prof- its from the American people dur- ing these two years. * "—Frec Meth- odist. ——————The above was submitted to us by a subscriber.

An ideal place for the .- =party is a new barn, the stalls on the lower floor serving as booths for the various stunts while the loft is large enough for all to get togeth- ,er. .If aybarn is—- not. available, choose a home where there is-a large attic; if ,_ the weather-,~.is‘ good, a lawn will give Opportunity to -move aboutfreely while albig bonfire will addlto the beauty of the scene. ' To make this a truly community gathering to which every one is' sure to be invited, station some of the children at the post office a week or ten days" ahead of’the time for the party and let them give invitations to those who come for their- mail; The invitations should be made of yellow paper cut in pumpkin shape and the invitation should read: In winding sheet and masks white, To form a fair disguise, Come to the party Hallowe’en Before the moon shall rise.- The Benson Farm Eight o’clock Bring your family and neighbors Guests should ‘arrive in ghost cos- tume—the sheet and the mask. Let them entertain themselves trying to find out who is who. When the crowd has arrived, have the ghosts to come forward one at a time so that the others may guess who each ghost is. As soon as the ghost is properly guessed he removes the disguise; As the crowd will be large, it is well to divide into groups, having some one to supervise the fun of each group. For refreshments, gingerbread, popcorn balls,‘apples and stick candy with sweet cider or buttermilk would be in keeping with the season. For decorations, pumpkins lant— ernshidden all over the place among corn stalks and autumn leaves give the Hallowe’emeffect. A skeleton borrowed from the doctor would en- hance the spookiness and a few skulls, if available, are a great help. Many of the dress makers will lend their dress forms, shroud‘these in sheets and masks.- :«_*C-ut black cats, bats and witches from black paper and pin on the walls. - Some Stunts 1. As learning the secrets of the future is an all-important feature of the season, give each unmarried man a ticket, which says: “This ticket en:- titles youand the young lady of your choice to a free photograph. Presentthis ticket at the Photograph Gallery.” One stall inthe barn or room in thehouse should be fitted up as the gallery. If twenty tickets are given out, forty photographs must be fixed (twenty for the men and twenty for the women.) For photographs cut cards into the size of a cabinet photograph andoneach card paste a picture showing the future of the person whose picture is to be taken. The picture may be (if a successful farmer, a farmer’s wife. a professional man or woman, or whatever is preferred. Suitable pictures can be found in magazines. Have a “photographer” in charge of the gallery and when two people en- ter to have their pictures taken, he may say “ladies first” and have the' girl pose. The photographer. then.- takes a card from the girl’s pile of photographs (all are turned face down) and remarks “This is a wand- erful ‘plate’ it will photograph you as you will 'be in the years .to come.” He raises the cloth .over the camera; and appears toa'adiiirst..the plate- With "the. usual premarkgx‘momg'measant.‘ please’: the: picture“ Walton—land the ‘ ,siri presented swims—a '- 1113.41?" demure , ed picture of herself. .».~,.Th9n' the .man- "is photographed.- These;- pictures of ., serve" as sousenirs-of the occasion. .7 '. a. ‘ 2. the wall” on the, sheetflpin, a solid. .

Each child is furnished with a tiny witch’s cap made of pa— per and when blindfolded tries to pin the cap on the witch’s head. ‘ Have the Victrola play all the dole- ful music that can be obtained.

Oh, yes; I was; telling you about the horses that were at. the fair. ’ . ‘ - Well, from the Horse Barns we went ‘to the Poultry Building. On the first floor we saw hundreds Jot chick- ens, and what a noise they‘- made. The roosters were crowing so hard and the hens cackling so you could hardly hear yourself think. ‘ Then we went upstairs, and right at the top of the stain were a lot “of the prettiest can- aries, and they were all hopping about in their small cages and singing so that it seemed tome they would burst ' their little ‘throats. Upstairs. there were a great many rabbitsyboth'large and small, and. all colors. And there were quite a few guinea pigs, too. Have all of you seen some of these little fellows? I suppose you have. Oh, I forgot to tell you that we saw some guinea hens, and some turkeys and geese down stairs. After we had seen all of the things in the Poultry Building we went out a side door and there, right in front of us, was a. park and in this park we saw many different kinds of wild an- imals. From there we went to the building where the automobiles were displayed, and we saw nearly every kind of automobile that is manufac- tured in the United States, as well as many dilierent makes of trucks: The next place we visited was Ford’s Model Farm, and what a term it was! There were tractors for every pur- pose; for plowing, planting, drilling, harvesting. They had a grain separ- ator that they connected to a tractor with a belt and they threshed some wheat, then the wheat was put in a small flour—mill, which was driven by a; tractor, and it was ground into flour. . Another tractor was used to run a dynamo which made electricity to light the lrouse and run the wash- ing machine, diSh washer, electric stove and many other things. The flour was mixed into dough and put into a pan and then into the oven of the stove and baked into bread. After watching them do this we went tothe Dairy Building where we saw milking machines, difieren-t kinds of feeds and various brands of oleomargarine. A little ways from this building was a small building in which bees were kept and there you could see ‘the bee's making their honey in glass hives." We were standing outside the Bee Building wondering Where to go next when we heard the band play- ing, so we walked over that way and listened to a concert on an open-air stage in a pretty grove. After- a while we went to the Art Building and there we saw many beautiful pictures; I wished you girls and boys-who like to'draw could have been there with us to see them. From there we went to the Women's Building. In this building we look- ed at many pieces of hand sewing; some of them it had taken years to make and one of them was offer- ed for sale at one thousand dollars. It was in this building that the Baby Show was held. There was also a model school on the grounds. It was built like rural schools should be to be most health— ful for the children. By that I mean that the windows were on the side where there would be good light but would not hurt the scholars eyes and the desks were the right kind and so forth. In the Main Building there were ' nearly all kinds of talking machines, furniture, washing machines, sewing machines and pianos. The exhibits in the Agricultural Building .were about soils, different kinds of grains and how to plan various buildings on the farm. The next place we visited was the building in which. the fruits ' This » and flowers were on display. building was called the Horticultural Building.

Each girl had a» did- erent discovery. “1 lugged home food until my arms ached,” Helen said. “But I saved ten cents on every dollar.

Then mother and I went I : to'buy food in bulk. We saved ever so much by getting coffee, dried fruits and anything that would keep in as large quantities as we could." "Bikers?" I asked, as the girls,_ pretty as flowers in their new clothes spread our picnic lunch. . "Pals!" Bob corrected himself. “Three cheers for them!"- And didn’t they deserve them, knowing how 'to market in My Town! - ' were on exhibit. Over at one side of this hall several different makes of tractors. were displayed. I’ll bet your fathers would spend most of their time right here because the men in charge of the tractors were running them around showing peo- ple how to plow and do many other things with them. It was noon by' this time so we de- cided we would eat a hasty lunch-— there were several dining halls on the grounds—and then see the mid— way before we went into the grand— stand. _‘ . ' - The midway was where all of the shows and other amusements were. And what an assortment of them there were! There was the ierris- wheel, and the merry-go-round, like the ones at the county fair which you attended, and there was the old mill, where you got into a boat and travel- ed through a tunnel amid beautiful scenery. Then there was the crack- the-whip, a flying swing and a roller coaster. In addition to these there were many shows in which there were funny human freaks, trained animals, motorcycle races, places to go into and then have a lot ot‘funi. trying to find the way out, and—oh, I can’t begin to describe them all be— cause there were so many. We did not have much time to spend here- as we wished ‘to get good seats in the grandstand, so we hurried along. But when we got into the grandstand. we foundnearly all of the seats oc- cupied and it was only by good for— tune that we got seats where we, could see all'that went (in. ~ , First there were athletic stunts, such as running and jumping, then there were auto ‘races. I wish you could .have seen how fast those au- tos went. They whizzed by the grandstand at over a mile a minute. One of them made a mile in 49 sec- onds. After the races airplanes flew. into the air and sailed around over- head.

' ‘ This enormous sacrifice. is war- ipropaganda that is pttilessly and éeterually truew Much war-propagan- 3 da was true.’-—true to the character of ;brave men and women and the heart ‘ of humanity. '0 O O Surely I should find that we are popular in Belgium. Hadn’t we fed the Belgians. knitted'socks for the Belgians, and sent our old high hats and frock coats over to.clothe the Belgian peasant as he tilled his acres under guard of the German sentry. From all I heard I might conclude that the clot-hes we sent did not fit, the shoes we sent developed come, and our food rations caused indiges- tion. Subtle reasoning could even have persuaded me that we stood guilty of having kept the Belgians alive in order to exploit them after the war. “Look at the rate of exchange!" said the Belgians. “Flour costs in francs three times what it did before the war, and we have to pay three times that because it now takes fif- teen francs to make a dollar, where it only took five before the war. Think of that “after having been in the bread-line for four years; Think of what we suffered under the Ger- mans for the sake of the rest of the world! Now America, who knew nothing of the horrors of war, will not even sign the Treaty to come to little Belgium's defense if the Ger- mans attack again—when you are so rich and we are so poor!" Again, while I am on the subject of Belgium, I was reminded by Bel- gians that, with all honor to Hoov- er’s initiative and organization, the sums which America gave him for ' food relief were relatively small. The bulk of the fund came from the Brit- ‘ish and the French governments, as Britons and Frenchmen do not hesi- tate to remind the Belgians in these commercial days, when each nation aiming at trade opportunities in its neighbors’ market, can always find a popular subject in turning a point against the international scapegoat. ’ ' It t t After I had had the assurance of our Allies of our small part in the war and how .the President's insist- ence on the “fourteen points" had robbed them of the fruits of victory, ‘I went to 'Gerniany- expecting that the late disagreement at arms might be prolonged into a disagreement with the Allies' view of us. Far from it! Underneath the urgent de- sire for ourhelp in credits and raw -material was the same latent resent- ;ment that I had found elsewhere, em- of beaten ,people. "If" America had not come into the; : fwar we should have won,” I was told. ; "Look: at the value of the mark—one cent—when it used to be worthy :tweuty-nve cents!

The "- record ' in ,the show rings of this ’Prescott "herd‘has had an enviable state and at the International but‘it lnever showed to better advantage {than at Detroit, this year. V Many favorable comments. -were‘ heard, from visitors to the cattle di- ,vision, concerning the splendid ‘ex- ghibit of medium-priced .Shorthorn cattlemade by the Lassiter Bros, of fClarkSton. When in .with-anlmals that are within :reach of the average farmer, this herd will always carry away a long stringof blue ribbons; the home- Vbred' animals of which it is composted, however, have not had the prepara- tion neededin order to win‘against gOhio’s leading herds ,of imported cat- .tle. ‘making the exhibit for no herd of pure—bred animalsever made more friends in a. short period of time than did the Lassiter cattle at this year’s Michigan state fair.

Fourth on junior yearling and wo—year old heifers; fourth on breeders young herd and calf herd; fifth on junior heifer calf,’ get of sire and produce of cow. In- the dairy division the competi- tion was strongest and the number of entries the largest in the Guern- sey and Holstein-Friesian depart- ments. The chief contestants among the Holsteins were the Lenawee CountyHolstein Breeders’ Associa— tion, Hulett & Son, Okemos; George E. Bench, Plymouth; Corey J. Spenc- er, Jackson; The Pickering Farm, Belton, Missouri; John P: Hehl, De— ' troi-t' end theMichigan Agricultural College; 'while there were only three head in the college show herd, one of the number won first prize in the aged cow class and was made grand champion female of the breed. '- The heaviest prize-winner. in the Holstein division was Fred Knopf, Blissfleld, a member of the Lenawee ' County Breeder's’ Association. Mr. Knopf conducts his breeding opera- tions on a farm of 80 acres; ,the herd often exceeds 50 cattle. Past- ure is not depended .-,on' by Mr. Knopf but a balanced ration, of grain and ensllage is fed the year round. In ’ the summer the milking herd isfed -_ and milked .three times -each day. " The Knopf herd is in the Michigan , list of accredited cattle. year’s fair, Mr'. At ,this Knopf won -flrst 'prize on- aged herd, breeders young. herd, produce of cow, get of sire and calf herd.. Mr. Knopf ’Won second on aged cow, losing to the Michigan Agricultural College. Hehad . no fault to find with the decision" but did take exception to 'the fair regu- lations that permitted the college cattle to compete for] state fair. Briarbank Guernseys The amount of money hung up in the Guernsey -clas’s looked pitifully small, being only $1,300 including the added money for Michigan breed- ?ers which amounted to $300. The chief contestants in this division were :W. T.‘ Barbour,‘ Briarbsnk Farm, Birmingham, Mich.; John Ebels, Hol- iland, Mich, and H. W. Wigman, Lansing.
