,=the P'i'tts’burghLPau-f and tri‘butary markets. The
geographical boundaries include approximately
fthirty-cbunties in' western Pennsylvania and
eastern Ohio; The district is the great steel
producing center of the universe with a popula-
tion in execssvof'2,1000,000 people. The 8,000
"members oft-he organization supply the whole
milk requirements." ' ‘ .
This organization is organized under the cor-
‘p‘orate laws of- Ohio-cand is under the same sup-
;zervislon‘as other Ohio Corporations. The co-
operative features existing were provided for
through’the adoption“ of by-laws, and are-of the
nature common to Veto-operative ventures.

. The membership is divided amongst some
eighty local branches, each with respective offi-
cers, and these-'so-called locals are located at
" points o‘f'lnatural assemblage. The fundamental
principle foIliowed in local organization is to
encourage. meetings of members for purposes of
dischssion’hnd regulation of affairs of the main
‘ 2 organization. Standing between these locals
 and the Bo rd of Directors is a body known as

curring between the officers and members of a
cooperative. It places the initiative into the
hands of the members and relieves the officers
of responsibilities further than the efficient ad-
ministration of the duties regularly passed upon
them. The officers know their limitations, and
equally true, do they know the nature of the
backing they will have in work undertaken.

' In the beginning there were a great many
,dairymen'who lack-ed moral courage, or for sel-
.fis~h reasons did not want to jdin. Dealers were
seemingly unal‘terably opposed to producer co-
operation, and openly or secretly planned oppos
sition. The entire or, partial control 'of trans-
portation and distribution gave buyers quite
effective weapons with which to wreak ven-
geance, and it was intimated they had .the as—
sistance of public health authorities. It was
apparent, public officials had little sympathy for
the movement, and consumers looked askance
at the entire industry. Could one imagine ’a
more complex situation from which to develop
co-oper‘ative effort? ' ' ’

This condition existed as late as August,
1917, at which time producers declared for an
increase price or strike,.and strike they did .for
a whole month. Perhaps ind‘irec‘tly there was

'benefit‘from the August milk strike for soon

after this there seemed to come the realization

TOWJ-32113111ch:jo-operate in Pittsburgh Region
V ,1  Link Between Members and Directors Insuring.I Democratic Organization

the dairy industry in this district was fighting
with itself. Conservatively, it might be stated
the attitude of the consuming pu'blic brought
this realization, but since pu'blic attitude was
an outcome of constant strife between buyer and
seller, crystallizing during the strike when del-
egations attempted to instigate boycotts and
have the state tax removed from oleom'argarine,
it is entirely proper to say both producers and
dealers were thus awakened to good comm-on

,sense.

There gradually began to disappear the op-
position encountered in organization work and
in a few cases where an organized producer had
endeavored to Win the good favors of the buyer
by capitalizing upon the fact he opposed organ-
ization, yes, in severa‘l of these cases, the buyer
showed the error of his way. In a few months

“time, the [district became substantially organ-

ized.

Under mutual agreement, between buyer and
seller, testers have been “placed in receiving sta-
tions for the purpose of checking up’on weights
and tests. These testers are entirely in the
employ of producers although half the cost is
borne by buyers. In addition to the work of
checking weights and tests, .these .men endeavor-
ed to assist producers in bettering the quality
of milk sold, through proper advice concerning
care on the farm and in .transit.

Uponinsistence of producers, they have been
given control of hauling or transporting milk
to the receiving plants. There are a few in-
stances where this does not apply, since con-
tracts sometimes made between buyers and
private haulers would not allow the change un-
til expiration. The advantage in having con-
trol in transportation (Continued on page 11)

> In order to check disastrous for-
eign competion, the committee will
ask Congress to place an imme-
diate embarga on the importationoi
wool and woolen geods of all kinfi.
The members 'fe'el'that nothing short-
ofthis drastic action will meet the
situation. To protect wool growers "
in the future they will demand a
protective taifif on wool that will
equal the tariff on woolen goods.

The committee asked the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau to employ a wool
marketing expert to work under the
committee’s directibn and received
assurances that this‘would be done.
Special attention will be given to the
disposal of this year’s clip; The ex-‘
pense will be borne by the federation
and the wool pools. Plans are being-
made by the committee to concen-‘
trate next year’s clip in a few large,
warehousesvwhere it can be graded.
handled and sold to better advant-
age. The warehouse centersso far
are located at Chicago, Columbus, Sy-
racuse, Lansing and Galveston or
Houston. All these warehouses will
be incorporated under the federal
warehouse so that the warehouse re-
ceipts can be used as “collateral. As
soon as a central selling organization
is perfected the committee plans to
make three year contracts with the
wool producers.

“The formation of such a central
selling agency is absolutely essen-
tial," said O. N. Arnett of Montana.
“We arein a period when everyone

There will not be enough in the bus-
iness to carry along a lot of specu-
lators and proflteers. If we are to
live and goon with the sheep bus—
iness we must work out our own
salvation. Western wool growers
are ready to have their own wool
manufactured. By doing so we will
prove that the stagnation in the wool
business is due to the large profits
of the men who stand between pre-
ducer and consumer. We will also
demonstrate the value of goods
made from virgin wool.”

Western wool growers are ready
to co-operate to the limit with the
wool growers of the Corn Belt and
the East, .Arnst said. The Fleece
States Wool Association has voted to
amliate with the wool committee of.
the American Farm Bureau Fedora:
tion, and this committee and the Na.
tional Wool Growers Associations,
which represents the western ranch-
ers, will work in close co-operation.

_ Bureau of America, No. 23 East
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,
has anounced that it would lend its
entire support to the plan of Senator
Reed Smoot, of Utah to Secure a
year's embargo on the importation
of wool.

This announcement was made by
President Alexander Walker upon his
arrival from New York City to take
part in several wool conferences that
are to be held in connection with the
Internatinai Live Stock ExpOSition at
the Union Stock Yards.

The National Sheep and Wool Bur-

signed to compel textile manufactur-

ICHIGAN had more entries than
any other state at the Inter-
national Hay and Grain Show

held at Chicago, November 27.
state also made a clean sweep of
premiums in the classes of grains
best adapted to this state. TWenty-
seven out. of the 30 premiums for rye
went to Michigan exhibitors; Twelve
out oi the 20 prizes for soft red wint-
er wheat and many of the premiums
for No. 2 yellow corn were given to
this state. ‘

Though the hay and grain show,
as well as, the livestock exposition
were possibly not as well attended as
last year due to less prosperity in ag-
ricultnre, yet there was mere inter-
est shown, more entries made and a
higher class oiiaamplea brought to

This

the show than last year. Spectators
seem to unanimously agree that the
Michigan exhibit was more educa-
tional and a more complete presen-
tation oi seed development, certifica-
tion. and distribution than that of
any other state in the union. Mich-
igan's exhibit was arranged by the?
Farm Crops department of ll. A. C.
to show the eitectivenees of building
a state-wide program based upon
plant culture by M. A. (3., certificm
tion by the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment Association and distribution by
the Michigan State Farm Bureau.

The exhibit occupied the entire
end of a long room. Under the gen-
eral heading of Michigan Mobilized
for Handling of Guaranteed Seed.
The wall space of the exhibit was di-
vided int-o three parts each with a
graphic representation of the three
phases of Michigan’s seed work. Bins
of seed were located at convenient
intervals along the front of the ex-
hibit, labeled with cartoons which do.
picted the high quality at the seeds.
By each bin there was a bundle of en-
velopes so that prospective buyers
could take home a small sample for
inspection. Michigan Potato Growy
ers’ Exchange had an excellent ex-
hibit adjacent to the main exhibit.

The boys were made to judge six
classes of livestock, two classes of
beer and two classes of hogs. Fli-
teen minutes were allowed the con-
testants to make their observations
and record placings. No paper or
device that would assist the contest-
ants in giving their reasons before
the judges were allowed. After the
six .classes had been judged, which
ended sometime during the after-
noon, the boys were allowed to go to
lunch with orders to return within
an hour to'glve their reasons tor

contestant having to keep in mind

the contestant was allowed two min-

have rubbed elbows with some
of the leading breeders in the coun-
try and undoubtedly will carry an
inspiration home which will be of
lasting importance in the years to
come.

Livestock judging has been one
phase of the follow-up work for Club
members interested in livestock.
First, local demonstrations were giv-
en by country club leaders or mem-
bers of the Michigan Agricultural
College B‘oys’ and Girls’ Club De-
partment, bulletins, circulars and pic-
tures being left at this time for fu—
ture study. Two months later, a lo-

be held to determine the local or
county champions. These in turn
competed in a district contest. made.
up oi several adjoining counties". The
winners here went to the State Fair
to compete for state honors.

Farm Bureaus and County Fair
Associations have helped make this
work a success. Due to their efforts,
we had twenty club members at-
tending the Second Annual Junior
Club tour, during the week of the
International Livestock Exposition.
This was arranged by the Armour
Farm Bureau. One day was spent
in visiting the packing plant of Ar-
mour a Company, another day in visa
iting places of interest, such as the
art museum, Lincoln Park, the loop
district at Chicago, etc. A day was
given in visiting the Fat Shov’

HE STA'TE of Indiana jumped

5 into the limelight almost as soon
' 'as the gates were open for, the
tWenty-first annual International
Livestock Exposition, and stayed
there most of the time until the
farm folks who came to Chi-cago last
week for the world’s foremost farm
exposition‘went home. On Saturday
the boys from the Hoosier agricul-
tural college carried away the grand

prize in the students’ judging con— .

test from 19 other agricultural col—
lege teams, and on Monday Black
Ruler, a Purdue-fed steer, was made
the grand champion of the show and
thereupon became the most import-
ant individual on the grounds. The
glory of the Hoosiers was augment-
ed considerably by the string of rib-
bons annexed during the week.

The International of 1920 was
bigger and better than ever before——
in the beef cattle division. There
were 2,100 beef cattle, including
breeding animals and fat steers, in
the stalls on Monday morning when
the whistle of the clerks called the
contestants to the tanbark ring. Last
year there were just a few over 1,800
making it by far the largest exhibi-
tion of beef cattle ever brought to-
gether up to that time. The
increase was largely in the Short-
horn and Hereford classes, though
there was also a good increase in
numbers of Red Polls and a few
more Aberdeen Angus shown than
last year. Milking Shorthorns also
enjoyed the largest exhibition in the
history of the breed since a class
was opened for them at the Interna-
tional three or four years ago.

The number of draft horses was
practically the same as in 1919, but
there was some difference in the
character of the horse show. Not
more than 10 per cent of the draft
horses came from the studs of trad-
ers and so-cal-ied importers, practical-
ly all of the exhibits bearing the
name of real breeders—many of them

extreme and the trader is conspicu—

The swine show, never a very im-
portant feature "of the International,
was about the same in size and qual-
ity as it has been for several years
past. 'Carl-ot classes of hog-s showed
a distinct falling off in numbers.

The sheep show reflected the
down-hearted condition of the in-
dustry. The show was not more than
two-thirds the size of last year's and
not more than half as large as some
of the shows of former years. In

were still many vacant places in the

Black Ruler "was bred and fed by
Purdue University, and is the fourth
grand champion steer produced by-
that.institution in the _past ‘ few
years. Three of those four cham-
pions were also bred by Purdue, a
record never [equalled by any other
college, firm, or individual in the
history of' livestock shows. Black
Ruler was calved in October, 1918.
He was shown at the 1919 Internaa
tionai calf class, where he was given
thirty~fourth‘ place in a class of 35
Angus calves. Dean Skinner and
“Jock” Douglas knew that there was
merit under that black skin, and took
him home. He was fed a mixture
of ground corn,‘ ground oats, cooked
wheat and cooked barley. He am
from 16 to 18 pounds‘daily, and
gained an average of 50 pounds per
month. Black Ruler weighed 1,365
pounds at Chicago. ' '

The colleges won nearly all the
prizes in the 'fat barrow classes, both
in the single entries and on pens.

tion of winning three pen champ-ion-

wise annexed several championships.

Fruit Growers Discuss Marketingof 1921' Crop at Their Annual Meet"

PTIMISM reigned throughout the
sessions of the Michigan State
* Horticultural Society at Grand
Rapids last /week where encouraging
messages were brought by state and
national speakers predictiing better
times to follow the abnormal and
unusual season this year.
Conditions over which man had no
power cmibined to turn ‘what prom-
ised last spring to be one of the most

prosperous in the history of horti-
culture in'to one that has hardly
yielded a profit for many a fruit

grower. But the horticulturists at
the convention showed a “happy”
willingness to overlook the slumping
and glutted markets while they look-
ed forward in anticipation of an
early return to normal times.

The fruit growers, like all farm-
ers, were among the first to suffer
losses when prices began to slide.
Last spring they had trouble finding
buyers who were willing to contract
for their fruit while in other years
they were pester-ed to death with
agents anxious to get their signa-
tures on the dotted line. The can-
ners were hesitant. The cooper
shops were backward in filling their
orders and when the season came on
with a rush, the growers found
themselves not only with contract-
ors and a strong market, but also
with a limited number of high priced
containers. Sugar has been boosted
sky-high by profiteers and this,
combined with a multitude of other
depressing factors, shattered ' the
predictions of the most conservative
economic authorities. But all of
this is history, so far as Michigan
horticul'turists are concerned. They

ing the methods used in distribution
of rail-road cars from Chicago. They
asked that the Interstate Commerce
Commission confer with Michigan
farmers before deciding on a car dis-
tribution policy in 1921. While no
discussion was made of the causes
that prompted a resolution to this
effect, it is generally understood that
the car shortage last summer which
resulted in heavy losses to peach‘

growers was a deciding factor in its

considered and as a result the soci-
ety petitioned the state farm bureau
to send a representative before the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
hearing on the proposed reduction
in freight rates on peach shipments.

A resolution was unanimously
adopted demanding a repeal or
changes in pure food laws which .per-
mvit manufacturers of synthetic or
artificial fruit juices to put their
products on the market without
marking so as to be readily identified.

Another resolution called upon

Michigan congressmen to bend their
efforts toward amending the Volstead
prohibition act so as. to release cider
manufacturers from all responsibil-
ity should cider ferment after it
leaves their hands. Vinegar and
cider makers throughout the state
were hesitant last fall to manu'facta
ure cider in large quantities owing to
the liability under the Volstead act.
This had a very depressing influence
upon the market for second grade
stocks of apples.

The fruit growers avoided any dis-
cussion of the state constabulary but
passed 'by unanimous vote \a resolu-
tion reported out ‘by the committee
upholding the state police. The res-
olution declared the state troop-ers
were a “bulwark of safety against or-
chard thieves.”

No contests developed in the elec-
tion of officers. All the new officers
were elected by the unanimous vote
of the convention and are as follows:

President, George W. Hawley of
Hart; secretary, T. A. Fer-rand, Eat-
on Rapids; treasurer, J. Pomeroy

Farmers’ National Grain Dealers' As-

sociation in Chicago on December 2.

factors that determine [grain prices,
except as they are arbitrarily inter-
fered with. Since these conditions
are worldwide, it is manifestly im-
possible to interpret the future
course of the markets without hav-
ing complete world information."
Montgomery proposed that a. world
crop reporting bureau be formed un-
der the U. S. Bureau of Markets. His
idea is that a corps of crop reporters
be placed in the principal agricul-
tural districts of other countries,
like Australia, Argentine, Canada,
Russia, India, China, and all others
which‘ produce important crops that
compete with American products. It
would be the duty of these men to

' gather all possible data in regard to

agricultural conditions in the coun-
tries where they are stationed. Their
reports would be filed through agri-
cultural attaches who would operate
from the American consul-ates. These
reports would then be transmitted to

'Washington and issued from the Bu-

and the same shall have been considered and officially passed upon by

Bureau of Markets to interpret this
information,” said Montgomery.
“The government’s share in the job
will be complete when it releases
the information. From. that time
forward the information should be
handled by- such organizations as the
'Ameri-can Farm Bureau Federation,
which will have men competent to
interpret the information."
.Montgomery also called attentiop
to the necessity of study of consump-
tion of farm products. “The war has
greatly disturbed the normal con-
sumption of farm products," he de-
clared. “For example, England con-
sumes one-third as much butter as
formerly. That creates a surplus in
Denmark and Argentine, which
formerly supplied England, and that
surplus is dumped into the United
States, and at once affects the prices
which American farmers receive.
The present wool situation is caused
partly by piling up of wool stocks

in the southern hemisphere during
1919. Careful surveys conducted by
the Bureau of- Markets show that
world production of farm crops is
not above normal. The thing that
has played hob with prices is the fact
that world consumption is disturbed
and out of line. Let us supplement
the world market news service with
a study of world consumption, and
clear that information through the
same channels.

“If the farmers of America can
thus be informed concerning world
trends of production and consump-
tion, they will be enabled to protect
themselves against situations like
the one they are'in at present.”

The progress of cooperation in
Saskatchewan was discussed by J.
F. Booth of that province. There
are now 100 retail stores operating,
a line elevator system which includ-
es 316 elevators and terminals on
Lake Superior, a line creamery sys-

tem which operates 22 creameries
and five col-d storage plants, 52 live-

stock shipping associations and var- .
. lious minor cooperative enterprises.
’ The greatest cooperative venture of ‘

all, according to Booth, was the Can-
adian g0ver~nment wheat pool of
1919, and he predicted that this
would eventually develop into a na-

tional cooperative wheat marketing

organization. The government of
Saskatchewan has actively fostered
co-operative enterprises.

J. R. Howard, president of the Am-
erican Farm Bureau Federation,
spoke briefly concerning a national
agricultural policy. Such a policy,
he declared must include a protective
tariff upon farm products equal to
the protection that is accorded in-
dustry, a cooperative marketing sys-
tem that will give farmers fair pric-
es for their products, and a rural
credit system that will give farmers
credit operating capital upon the
same terms as others now secure
money. He roundly scored the Fed-
eral Reserve system for discrimina-
tion against farm loans.

Ot'her speakers included C. H. Gus-
tafson, of Nebraska, chairman of the
Committee of Seventeen, Harry F. R.
Robertson, manager of a cooperative
terminal elevator in Cleveland, Ohio,
and L. F. Gates, president of the
Chicago Board of Trade.

The work of the Committee of 17
was explained to its convention by
Clifford Thorne, attorney for the
grain dealers and a member of the
Committee.

“There are two ways to go at the
Job,” he said. “One is to sit down

and devise a plan out of our heads. ‘

This would give quick action, though
the chances are we would be wrong
and the plan would fail. The other
way, and the one we have adopted,
is to investigate all phases of the
problem and all existing method-s of
cooperation thoroughly. This takes
a great deal of time, but we will be
reasonably certain to have a practical
successful plan when we are
through.”

This is a frightful arraignment of govern-
ment. In a measure it is true. The first pow-

' erful lobbies that were organized in this coun-

‘ try to influence the will of Congress were
; those of the predatory interests. As a result
'I of their influence upon legislature they were
' able'to secure laws which guaranteed to them

special privileges at the expense of the people.

ginning to learn the value of organization and

A the influence it can exert upon law-making

bodies. They have found they must meet or—

‘ ganization among other kinds of business with

fploy the same methods. It was a case of

is going to foot the bill‘when every class of

Shall We Teach The Bible In The School?

HE RECENT agitation to compel all
children who are now attending religious
schools to attend the public schools has revived
interest in the century old controversy over
teaching the Bible in the public schools. If all

‘ religious views were alike there would prob-

ably be little opposition to giving religious in-
struction in the public school, but the "wide
diversity of religious beliefs offers a good
many sensible objections to such a practice.
The Bible is not a perfect guide. Some of

its historical facts have been found faulty. It

cannot be taken literally in all particulars.
One church interprets it'thus, and another one
so, and each is so jealous of its own particular
version that it cannot tolerate any other vers-
ion. But where in all the world can you find
such beautiful, such practical, such inspiring
and such genuinely worth while truths as are
contained in the Beatitudes, in Christ ’8 scr-
v'monon the Mount, the Ten Commandments,
and are scattered like gems all the way through

the Psalms and other books of the New Tests!

Some five years ago we got the
idea that it could be done and as we

 

had a neighbor who had a brother;

Mr. John W.—who lives in Lancer

it over with him and he came to see
it as a good idea and agreed to get
his neighbors to join with him and
send a car load north the following
spring. He found it very hard to do
so as it wasla new thing and the
writer being an entire stranger in
that part of the country. Neverthe—

M U. S. ELECTIONS
HATEVER can be said about
‘ .partyism elsewhere, the result
of the presidential election in
the presidential election in the Unit-
ed States shows that partyism there,
at any rate, has escaped any disin-

tegrating influences. One would
never imagine from the press reports
that there were other parties in the
field beside the ,Republican and Dem-
ocratic, nor does there appear to be
that disgust with. the historic parties
which “academic” politicians would
have one believe. Whatever the
number of votes received by the Pro-
hibitionist, the Socialist and the
Farmer-Labor candidates, it does not
appear to have had any appreciable
effect upon the election as a whole,
although Mr. Christensen, the Farm-
er-Labor candidate says that his
party 'did remarkably well, and is
going to tear the Democratic Party all
to pieces before the next election.
Evidently Mr. Christensen regards
the Republican party as invulner-
able. ~Mr. Gem-persa'oid his best to

the work of listing the cattle the last
year'or We has been carried on for
us by Mr. L. L. C.— and J..—-—of Fos-
toria and Mr. John W.-—of Mayville.
Our plan has been simple: We have
pasturedvthe cattle for $6 per head
the first three years and for $7.50
this last season paying the freight
out of said» amounts. Our worst
trouble has been that of transporta-
tion,,both as to the service and rates,
the service being the worst feature.

The preventing of fires was the
motive that caused us to try out the
proposition for we know from actual
experience that there is not another
“one thing” that will prevent so
many forest fires in this northern
bountry. We would. respectfully
warn anybody who might think to
try out the plan not to do so unless
they have a fenced posture to try it
in. When we began this we were in
hopes that others would follow in a
few years as it is a very plain fact to
us that unless the public wakes up
and conserves our timber supply it
will receive a bump. We have in
our own small way tried to get the
state to give the matter some en-
couragement as it is spending a lot
of money in trying to prevent forest
fires in this northern coontry which
in our own humble opinion can never
be done until such a time when it is
all or very nearly all grazed. To
support this will say that we have
not had a single forest fire this year

DOCTOR AGAIN CODIES TO DE-
FENSE 0F SUGAR COMPANIES

N YOUR paperof Nov. 6th you
asked about the losses the Mich-

  
 
 

 

igan Sugar Co. had for the first six 2

years here. It is a well known fact
that the factory lost money at this
place and the directors were figuring
on moving the plant. A committee
was appointed to try and induce the
directors to remain another year and
try it. This was successful and ev-
eryone was more than pleased.

If the farmer wants to share in the
profits should he not want to share
in the losses?

I don't care to wager you a ten
year subscription to your paper but
will wager you a good but that at
no time during the next two years
will a contract he in operation which
has been dictated by any association
of beet growers, and the reason is
because it is absolutely impractical.

Since the matter has created so
much agitation I have done some
reading upon my own account, and
I have come to the conclusion that
it is absolutely unreasonable to ex-
pect the manufacturer to allow some
one else to dictate the price he has
to pay for raw material, when the
manufacturer has no possible power
to control the price of the manufact-
ured article.

Inasmuch as less than twenty per
cent of the sugar consumption of the
United States is beet sugar, the price
is entirely dependent upon markets
and production from other countries.
This being the case the beet sugar
manufacturers are in no position to
dictate the price of the manufactured
sugar.

Suppose the bean growers of this
state of Michigan would say to the
elevator companies, that they would
grow no beans for the season 1921
unless they have a contract between
this date and April lst specifying
that they will pay them $7 per cwt.
otherwise no beans would be grown.
I’d like to ask you how many cars
of beans would be planted under such
an arrangement.

You refer to the "avalanche" on
sugar prices. You know as well as
I that the so called "avalanche" is
hitting everywhere.

The farmer who has grown beets
this year finds himself very fortun-
ate. I do not hold any brief for
the sugar company but have lived
long enough to know that there are
two sides to all subjects and the
farmer must judge for himself
whether or not it pays him to grow
beets and not worry about his neigh-
bor.

I have practiced medicine among
the farmers here for years and I
think in the end they will come to
correct conclusions and grow the crop
best adapted to their farms—H. H.
Learmont, Physician and Surgeon.
Croswell, Mich.

 

Yes, doctor, there are two sides to
every question. You persist in looking
at only one side, the manufacturer's_ No,
I Won’t bet you a hat that the farmer
will dictate a. contract to the manufactur-
ers, That is not what they are asking
for. But I will bet you a hat that the
growers will have a conference with the
manufacturers within the next two years,
or else there will be no beets grown ex-
cept for farmer-owned factories. It looks
unreasonable to you for the farmers to
dictate to the manufacturers, but it’s
perfectly all right for the manufacturers
to dictate to the farmer. It's a ,poor
rule that won’t. work both ways. The
farmers want a conference with the man—
ufacturers. Then they may be able to
see the manufacturer’s side 'of it. If the.
manufacturers cannot pay them what
their beets are worth they want to know
the reason why. If the reason is a good
one the farmers will be satisfied and
take their losses providing the manu-
facturers are willing to be satisfied with
a reasonable profit. The western man-
ufacturers have conceded the farmer's
right to a voice in the terms of the con-
Why‘ not the Michigan manufac-
turers? The western manufacturers
will pay the farmers according to the
sugar beet content. Why not also the
Michigan manufacturers? Does that
appear unreasonable to you? The Mich-

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
ARKNESS has fallen over the
rippling waters .‘of the Detroit
river, the big passenger beats

ply up and down and huge steel
freighters carry their burden of ore
and grain from the west to the east-
ern ports, but in the half-mile ex-
panse of water that lies between the
border towns of Walkerv‘ille and
Windsor and Sandwich and ouriown
big metropolis, there is carrie'd'on
under cover of darkness, a trade that
calls for men of reckless and advent-
urous spirit.

They use boats of the small and
speedy type that run under no regu-
lation whatsoever even as to lights.
They leave from some friend’s dock
and make for some secluded spot on
the further shore, perhaps a tent
dimly lighted, which is entered in the
quiet and caution, there the cargo is

‘ taken aboard and the return trip at-

tempted in spite of danger from ar-

rest, fine, imprisonment and even
death. The papers daily record these
happenings. '

It is estimated that 20,000,000
quarts of whiskey have been thus
transported in less than one year.

Fortunes have been made and are
still in the making, fortunes also
have been lost and when you have
been double-crossed of course you
have no redress. Men, money and
cargo have all gone and yet trade
continues and continues in spite of
the authorities, b‘oth' Canadian and
American. Many an officer has been
threatened with death unless he
ceases his activities. The arms of
the law are not numerous enough to
handle the situation. We can not
and should not close our eyes to this
outlawry that goes on in the coun-
try quite generally and right here
under our very noses.

It is true, we could not expect com-
plete success at first in the enforce-
ment of the amendment for we took
a long step and time is necessary to
meet conditions and to handle the
situation. but neither did we expect
such wholesale violation.

The Supreme Court has handed
down its decision and the Prohibition
Amendment stands and will stand.
Now we must require a proper en-

prohibition. Very few of us are sor-

is held in contempt it weakens re-
spect for all law." The laws \of our
country and state must be upheld
otherwise there is no security for any
of us.

“ T WOULD be possible and profit-
I able for congress to create an
addition to the cabinet to be
known as the Department of Social
Service," says the Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., president of the Repub-
lican Publicity Association.
“ “This should include the Women’s
and Children’s Bureau now in the
Labor Department and the Bureau
of Education now in the Interior De-
partment and the Public Health Ser-
vice. now in the Treasury Department.
There are three or four. more branch-
es that might well be included, as the
U. S. Employees Compensation Com-
mission already presided over by a
. woman." -

Griggsby’s' StatiOn

By James Whitcomb Riley '

Pap’s got his patent-right, and rich as
all creation; ‘

But wher’s the peace and comfort that
we all had before!

Le’e go avisiting back to Griggsby’s
Station—

Bock where we used to be so happy
and so pore.

The likes of us a living here!

It’s just a mortal pity to see us in this
great big house,

With carpets on the stairs,

And the pump right in the kitchen!

And the city! city! city!——-

And nothing but the city all around
us ever’whcres.

Climb clean above the roof and look
from the steeple,

And never see a robin, nor a bush or
ellum tree!

And right here in ear-shot of at least
a thousand people,

And none that neighbors with us 0
we want to go and see! '

Lc's go a visiting back to Griggsby’s
Station, . '

Back where the latch-string’s a hang-
in’ from the door,

And over neighbor round the place is
dear as a relation——

Bock where we used to be so happy
and so pore!

I want to see the Wigginses, the whole
bit and bilin,

A drivin’ up from Shaller Ford to stay
the Sunday thro,

And I want to see 'em hitchin at their
son’-in-law and pilin'

Out there ’at Lizy Ellen’s like they
ust to do.

I want to see the piece-quilt; the
Jones girls is makin';

And I wamt to pester Laury ’bout their
freckled hired hand.

And joke her 'bout the widower she
came purt nigh a-takin

Till her Pap got his pension 'lowed in
time to save his land.

Le’s go a visitin’ back to Griggsby’s
Station—«

Back where they’s nothin aggravatin
any more,

Shet away safe in the woods around
the old location,

Back where we used to be so happy
and so pore! - r

I want to see Marindy and he’p with
her sewi/n', '

And hear her talk so lovin' of her ma
that’s dead and gone,

And stand up with Emanuel to show
me how he’s growin’,

41nd smile as I have saw her 'fore she
put her mournin’ on.

And I want to see the Samples on the
old lower eighty, 3

Where John, our oldst boy, he was
ink and buried—for '

His own sake and Katy’s—and I want
to cry with Katy,

As she reads all his letters over, writ
from the war.

What’s in all this grand life' and high
situation, '

And nary pink nor hollyhawk a“

I bloomin’ at the door!—

Le’s go a visitin’ back to Griggsby’s
Station~

Back where we used to be so happy
and so pore!

 

 

men—hence it would be embarrass-
ing for a woman to undertake it.

“But itwould be eminently fitting
should a Social Service Department
be created to appoint a woman as
it’s head.

“Practically the entire work would
deal with teaching nursing and wo-
man’s welfare. Subject that can be
better handled by the gentler sex.
Public welfare would be served by
the change, other departments would
be relieved of duties more or less
foreign to them and an opportunity
would be given Senator Harding to
enlist the assistance of women of the
country by appointing one of their
number to his cabinet.”

EAR CHILDREN: Several weeks
ago I wrote you about Boys'
and Girls' Club Work. I want

to talk to youxhgain about it because

I am very interested. in this work and

think all girls and boys should be-

long if they possibly can. If you do
not~belong to such'a club but would
like to, and your papas' and mammas
are willing you should, .you can.

There may be one or more clubs of

this nature in your school at present
but if there isn’t the State Club
Leader will be glad to form one. The
way to go about to form a club would
be to first find out how many of your
schoolmates would like to join, then
go to‘ your teacher and ask her if
she will help to have a Corn Club
or a Canning Club. or whatever kind
of a club you wishfestablished at
your school. Nearly any teacher will
be glad to assist in work of this kind.
.Your teacher will then write the
State Club Leader at East Lansing
and he will come to your school
house and talk with you all, explain-
ing the work of club members, af-
ter which he will form the club for
you.

Club work teaches boys the bet-
ter ways ‘to farm and it teaches the
girls how to can and many other
things that are helpful when they are
grown up. Last week we publish-
ed an article on this work in the
front of the paper. Ask your mama
or papa to read and explain it to
you. I am publishing a story on our
page this week about how a boy club
member raised his crop of beans. I
have more stories I will publish from
time to time in this department.
Goodbye until next week—UNCLE
NED.

 

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned:—I am twelve years
old and in the seventh grade at school.
I saw in your paper recently that,you
were going to give a prize to the one
that wrote \the best story about the
fair they attended so I am going to try,
I’am going to tell you about the fair I
attended.

The first fair we went to this year was
the Ionia fair. We started about nine
o'clock and got there about ten, It was
a nice morning when we started but it
rained a little while in the afternoon.
When we got there we stopped down town
and got a drink and then we went to the
fair ground. The first thing that we
went to look at was the tractors and
different things run by them, Then we
went around looking at the farm tools,
etc. From there we went to look at the
poultry, cattle and horses They had
some very nice chickens and the largest
rooster I ever saw. There- were some
Then we went
through a hall where they had machine
guns and other different things they
used in the war. It was not noon yet so
we went over to see the airplane. It was
the first time I had ever been so close to
one. I saw two go up and come down
that day. After we had seen them 'we
went and got our. dinner and ate it at the
stand and then we went to the automobile
show and there were some very nice care
there. I wouldn’t mind owning one of
them if someone would buy it for me,
There was such a crowd on the grand
stand that we couldn't get up there to
see the races and performers in front,
After a while my brother came around
and we went and took a ride on the
ferris wheel, merry—go-round, airplane
and the whip. We had a good time and

then we met my father and we went ov-
er to the motordome, and I went up to
see the motorcycles go around. The fel-
lo-w came so close to the top that I got
frightened and came down, It was get;

muting late so we went and got our supper

and went down town and waited a while
and then we started for home. We got
home about seven o'clock. It was dark
and we had quite a time doing the chores,

If I write any more you will think it
is too long and you will put it in the
waste paper basket. From your friend,
Firmin Burns, Carson City, Mich., R, R.

How I Grew My Crop of Beans

 

 

Merle Touee, Hillsdalc, Mich., 3rd place, State Bean Club Work, 1919

1" AST YEAR I enjoyed project

work so much that I decided to
'- ‘ have a project this year wheth-
er there was a club in our neighbor-
hood or not. As there was no club
in our neighborhood, I enrolled in
the Hillsdale club.

I raised my seed last year. I pick-
ed them by hand, taking out all im-
perfect; beans so to have good seed.

The ground that my father told me
that I could have for my plat was of
a sandy nature. I plowed the
ground and dragged it once just af-

"ter plowing and .twice before plant-

ing._
. I planted the beans with ‘a‘ corn

' Uplanite‘r in drills thirty inches apart.

_i_I planted a halfbushel'of seed. Three
days, later I w _
"coming up.“ I, dragged "the ground

’with‘a‘s-p‘ike tooth drag. This did

not layers .‘theiibaans, but ' it did‘ kill

afigoo Wmagnypfthe’litue weeds that

 

some of the beans were;

> as all. Igcultfivatedthe

in  , that. thing hinged... ~ ; ‘

  

After pulling and threshing the

’ beans, I found that I had ten bush-

els. Of these I kept two bushels for
my seed for next year and what we
will want to eat. The rest, I sold. I
received nine cents per pound for
some of them but before I could get
them all on the market, beans had
dropped in price to eight cents per
pound. The total income from the
acre was forty-nine dollars and sixty
cents and my total expenses were
fourteen dollars and seventy-five
center: leaving a profit of thirty~four
dollars and eighty-five cents on one
acre. -It cost one dollar and forty-
eight cents to raise a bushel of beans,
leaving a profit of three dollars and
forty-eight cents per bushel.

’ . Through Club Work I have taken
a greater interest in farm problems.

ing; our leading bankers have, all
the time, insisted that very little red
lief in audit conditions could come
to hand before the early spring of
1921 and recent developments seem
to warrant this conclusion. Mean-
while, the shrinkage in inventory
values continues and the question of
Moo-ate collateral for short and
lung time loan paper, becomes more
and more complicated. The news
cornea-rain; the failure of another
bank in North Dakota which came to
handon'Mondayofthisweekisnot
reassuring the list of bank failures
in that state alone now numbu-s 21.
' Bradstreet reports 1,085 business
failures for the month of November,
involving more than 36 millions of
dollars.

Bankers are watching closely the
trend of money matters during the
last month in the year; they have

experience. They have learned to
look for stringency during the clos-
ing days of the last month in the
year, even under normal conditions
but in times of reconstruction and
roadJustment of business conditions
they feel certain of their position. As
the year draws to aclose, demands
ripen ‘the banks of the country are
usually greater. than at any other
time in the year but it is believed
that for the most part they are amp-
ly able to meet their obligations.
lire United States government has
certificate of indebtedness, exceed-
ing $700,000,000 which it must meet
on December 15; to meet the above

. obligations it is anticipating the
payment of the last installment of
1919 taxes. Tax-paying periods are
not without their attendant anxi-
eties for the banks for they mean
a shifting of funds and sometimes
more or less financial disturbance.

similar condition. In Chicago the

call for stockers'and feeders has not
been what dealers expected of the
demand from visitors to the Inter-
national and cattle are accumulating
in the feeder alleys. ,The supply or
feeding cattle in all of the leading
western markets .is said to be the
most varied and generally desirable
in character that has everbeen offer-
edilthere at this time of the year. On
"Monday, Chicago got only 18,000
' head cf cattle and prices were quoted
higher for the most part.

Sheep and Lamb Trade

Witha falling off in arrivals in the
sheep department of the Chicago
market on Monday of last week and
decreased receipts, -compared with
«the week before, the trade in fat
stock has experienced great prosper-
.ity and lamb prices have touched a
point which shews a gain of more
than-$1.50 from *' the' recent low
point. ,Aged western wethers were
in light supply at Chicago last week
and a few sales were made for $6.50
per cwt. A pressing demand de-
veloped for yearling wethers and few
loads went as high as $10 per cwt.

One of the features of the Chicago
lamb trade last week has been the
almost entire absence of quality in
connection with the offerings; pack-
er buyers made the rounds of the
yards and when they realized the
scarcity of good stock they bid pric-
es up from 20 to 50 cents per cwt.
The [demandw for feeding lambs was
extremely dull and unsatisfactory, a
situation which waslexactly the op-
posite from what the trade expected
for show week. Really desirable
light feeding lambs were conspicu-
ous by their absence; one band of
light weight feeders, averaging 52
pounds, sold in Chicago for 810.50
per cwt. ,

Live Hogs and Provisio

Subsequent. developments make it
appear that the big packers over-
played the.market when they drove
prices down $3 per cwt. just prior
to the Thanksgiving holiday; there
are, indeed, many indications that
seem to warrant the conclusion that
the break in live hog values kicked
up a sensation that resulted in a per-
manent reduction in the selling value
of meats in all of the different de-
partments of the trade. Shippers
have been. the life of the trade, re-
cently, but instead of taking light
and heavy Yorkers, as they usually
do, they have been in the market for
packers and good. butchers; the last
mentioned freak in market demand
is taken by the trade to mean that
provisioners are close up .in pork
supplies. Provisions have been show-
ing some strength, especially in the
speculative market and the general
opinion seems to he. that the
“gamble” in hog products has head-
ed toward .permanentl'y. higher lev-
els; strength in the grain markets
has also helped the hog and provi-
sion trade. .

Detroit Market Conditions

For the first three days of last
week cattle were dull and lifeless in
v the Detroit market but on Thursday
the last market day, the trade was
more active and prides were called
a trifle higher for some kinds. On
Monday of this week,.everything ex-
cept canners and common cows were
active early, but closed with gain
lost. Veal calves are dull and why
sale. Sheep and lambs were stfing
and active in the Detroit market, last
week, in sympathy with the tradein
other markets but on Monday prices
eased off, somewhat and the close an
that day saw best lambs sell for
$11.50 percth Detroit had a fair-
ly satisfactory hog market, early last

week. but on Thursday, the last~

market day; the trade was exertmely

trol and management of milk routes
the hauling charge is lessened. It
also affords certain protective fealt-
ures for the organization.

The organization is always able to
locate a market for members or for
those who contemplate shipping milk.
During the past two years, there have
been hundreds of butter markers on-
tering the whole milk markets, and
whenever these men desired, they
have been taken into the organiza-
tion and their milk sold to satisfact-
ory buyers. In recent months, most
of the buyers have been advising par-
ties applying for a market, to join
the dairy organization. The state-
ment given by buyers regarding this
action is, that since the organization
supplies practically all of their re-
quirements, they would rather take
on new shippers in this way and to
eliminate dealings with the individ-
uals.

Throughout their entire work, the
Board of Directors of the D. C. S.
Company, aim to foster cooperation
from the time milk is produced un-
til it has been consumed. They are

not content to con-fine the benefits

only to themselves, and firmly be-
lieve the ultimate end, the success-
fuil end, is the culminationof efli-
cient production, eflicient manufact-
ure and distribution, and giving con-
sumers the most for their money. It
seems they are making progress.

SHEEPMEN ASK BAN AGAINST
FOREIGN WOOL
(Continued from page 2)
“The National Sheep and Wool
Bureau of America is greatly in favor
of. Senator Smoot’s embargo proposal
and will give it and also the proposal
for a tariff high enough to adequate-
ly protect the wool growers 'of the
United States the same whole-hearted
and vigorous support that it is giving
the French-Capper Truth in Fabric

bill.

“It must be clearly understood,
however, that neither an embargo nor
a high protective tariff would of ,it-
self be able to protect the sheep grow-
er from his greatest foe—the junk-
man. Even with the embargo and the
tarii! in effect, the wool grower would
still need the protection of the French
Capper Truth in Fabric bill to shield
him from the unfair competition of
the rag-picker, because shoddy—the

,product of re-worked woolen rags—

would still be sold as virgin (new)
wool under cover of the misunder-
stood popular term, ‘all wool’. The
wool grower will be at' the mercy of
the shoddy interests until there is
passed a law making it compulsory
for the textile manufacturers to label
their cloth with its content of virgin
wool and of shoddy. ‘

“With the farmers still burdened
with their wool clip of last spring,
with the storehouses of the world
choked with four billion pounds of
unused virgin wool, with the popular
demand for virgin wool cloth artific-
ially diverted by certain textile mans-
ufacturers from the wool grower to

the rag-picker, it is absolutely essen-'

tial for the protection of the wool
growers that the» ‘French-Capper
Truth in retrievals be- enacted as
soon as Congress re-ccnvcnec‘.”

The 'walnuts from the trees are.

your property even if the ‘tree stands
in the road. It would be larceny to
take away the nuts on the ground and
in addition trespass to throw sticks
into the tree to knock them off. In
1919 the legislature passed a statute
to encourage the planting of nut
bearing trees along the highway and
expressly provided that the fruit or
nuts should belong to the owner of
the land—W. E. Brown, legal editor.

DISTANCE OOMPELLED TO WALK
TO SCHOOL

Our school district is a. joint district
to Johannesburg district and we have no
school_ There is no way provided for
getting the children back and forth to
the Johannesburg school which is the only
school in this township. My bay would
have to walk 6 miles and some other
children would have 7 miles. There are
15 children and the parents of two of
the children are tax payers. Is there a
law to compel the district to furnish a
conveyance to get the children to School?
What steps should be taken to get a.
school in our district7—W. W., Johannes—
burg, Michigan. ,

Your letter does not inform me
ed district making a township unit
whether this district is a consolidat-
or not. The school commissioner of
that county should be able to inform
you of the proper steps to take in
whatever district you are. I think
the Supt. of Public Instruction, Lans-
ing, Mich, would give you informa-
tion of what to do if you will tell
him just what kind of a district you
have and how it was formed and
when. I do not understand the law
to compel the transportation of a
child but the district may do so. If
your school is held under the con-
solidated school act, being No. 117
of the laws of 1909, as amended, you
may arrange to appeal to the Super-
intendent of Public Instruction from
any act or thing they have done
within 90 days from the doing of the
act.—.W. E. Brown, legal editor.

 

ANNUAL SWEET CLOVER

What is your opinion concerning the
new annual white sweet clover? I saw
an ad in the Rural New Yorker where
it is for sale at 50c per 02,, or $5. 3 1b,
Would it be profitable to buy this var-
iety and where can the seed be purchas-
ed?—-A. H., Acme, Mich, .

The annual sweet clover was first
developed by Professor Hughes of
the Iowa Experiment Station. It
differs from the ordinary biennial
type of sweet clover in that when
planted in the spring it completes
its growth and matures seed in the
fall.

The Farm Crops Department of
the Michigan Agricultural College
has grown 5 acres of the annual.

white sweet clover during the past
year and will harm seed for distriy
bution in small amounts at cost price,.
The seed has not'yet been scardfled

and cleaned and hence definite ar-
rangements regarding distribution

have not been mad-e. The yield se-
cured was approximately 8 bushels

per acre. .

In this State. seed of the annual

white sWeet clover can be purchased-
from Olaf Nelson of Aloha and L. L.

Lawrence of Decatur. I

The price quoted in the Rural New

Yorker is apparently the usual com-
mercial price, which is approximate-.-

ly $5 per pound or from 50c to $1

per ounce. Owing to the heavy seed

yields of this crop, the seed will 'un-

doubtedly 'be cheaper .in a few

years. ' ' '* '

CHARGES, FOR. TmsmNG
.Has a bean thresher got a right to

charge a. person having» fifty-two bushels

of beans, fifteen dollars when a man

having one hundred bushels can get them

fifefihed for fifteen?—-——C. P., Pierson,
c .

There is no statute regulating the
price of threshing beans. It is a
matter subject to agreement and
that agreement as to price would be
binding upon both parties. If no
agreement was made then you Would
be liable for only a. reasonable fig-
ure.
ed charge for locatin the machine
and so much per bushe . It would be
reasonable to make a fixed» charge
for locating the machine and- so
much per bushel. It would be rea-
sonable to make a. fixed charge for
a small jdb. If you did not fix a
price. then his charges would have
to be just What was usual in cases
similar to yours. You should al-
ways arrange price in advance. If
you do not like the price you can
tlhresh them yourself. My father
never had a bean thresher on the
farm. He used a flail. If you have
to you can do the same—W. E. Brown
legal editor.

 

The purpose of this department Is to pro-
tect our subscribers from fraudulent dealings

FUR FIRM DELIVEBS Goons

Have taken yoru paper some time and
enjoy reading it. Wish you would look
up the W. B. Place 00., of Hartford, Wis,
I shipped them 2 deer skins last June,
but have heard nothing from them since
although I have written them sever
times—G, A. K,, Stanton, Mich.

Correspondence with the. above
firm disclosed that the skins‘ had
been received and tanned, but as late
as Nov. 3rd had not been made into
gloves and mittens as per order. The
order was given immediate attention
however, and on Nov. 27th, our su’b-
scribed advised that he had received
the goods.

YEAR AND A HALF OLD DEAL
SETTLED

In June of 1919 I sent a phonograph
motor to Sears, Roebuck & Co., for re-
pairs. I also wrote them telling them I
was sending the motor. They replied to
my letter saying that the motor was not
received. I sent them my express bill to
help locate it. I never have heard from
them again although I have written them
a number of times—Mrs, J. B., Potters-
ville, Mich_

Sears, Roebuck advised us when
the matter was called to their at-
tention that they had been unable to
locate the motor but rather than in-
convenience our subscriber by furth-
e'r delay they would replace the mo-
tor,'whioh according to a recent let-
ter from our subscriber has been
done. '

SOLDIERS INSURANCE

A man goes to war and leaves a. wife
but no children, also leaves a mother and
father, sister and brother, and loses his
life while in service, leaving an insuf-
ance of $10,000 from the government to
his wife, Now if the wife dies before
the insurance is all taken up who will
the balance' of the insurance go to? Can
the wife will the insurance away to whom
she chooses? If she marries again can
the husband hold any or the insurance
at her death?-—A Subscriber. Lakeview,
Mich, ' ‘

I believe-the insurance is the prop-
erty of the wife and that she can dis-
pose of it but ‘it would be better to
write the Bureau of War Risk In-
surance, Washington, D. C.—W. E.
Brown, legal editor.

cern, but the wise man will steer
‘clear of all motor stocks for the time
being. Many big automobile and
truck factories are in financial
straits and most of the small t0wn
fellows have gone under completely.

DEARBORN REAL ESTATE

Can you tell me a little bit about the
John A. Campbell organization which is
offering Dearborn lots, 40x120 feet, at
8790 within the one-mile circle in Dear-
bom, claiming that Henry Ford has sold
his Highland Park plant to General Mot-
ors and is going to mOVe his machinery
to make cars to Dearborn? How would

.it be as an investmentf—C. E,, Mariette.

Mich, v

It’s no good. The agent lied
when he told you Ford he] sold his
Highland Park interests. Why not
goto Dearborn and look the place
over yourself. You ought to any-
way before even considering an in-’
vestment. You’ll find that Dearborn
has got to grow a lot yet before it
even fills up the half mile circle.
Some day it may be a great manu-
facturing town, but I doubt it. Ford
is building tractors there more as a
matter of homepride than because of
any special manufacturing facilities
the town may afford. It will be at
least ten years before all the prop-
erty that has been subdivided in the
vicinity of Detroit will be settled.
It’s good property to leave alone.—
Editor.

RAILROAD LIABLE FOR DELAY-
ED SHIPMENT

I had an engine shipped from tho
Cushman Motor Works, Lincoln, Nebras-
ka. The. bill of lading shows it was
shipped May 16th but it did not arrive
until about September 9th. Now as I
have lost the sale on the engine owin
to the delay could I compel the railroa,
to pay for this engine and keep same?
I have no use for it now. What can I
do?——R. 8;, Fremont, Michigan.

The railroad is liable for loss caus-
ed by failure “to ship promptly. You.
will probably require the help of
your local attorney to make out ‘
your claim—W. E. Brown, legal ed-'

’ HOG CHOLERA

“Hog cholera, nor any other spec-
ific infectious disease, is caused by
feeding green or immature corn to
hogs," according to J. W. Connai
WI. “The lnjudicious feeding of
new corn. is however, a factor which
may increase the losses from hog
cholera when ‘the germs of that dis-
ease are present." he adds in dis-
cussing hog cholera and immature
corn in Bulletin 173, published by
the University of Missouri College or
Agriculture. Continuing he says:
Most of.,t'he herds that become sick
after feeding for a while on new con
are already infected with the disease
germs prior to the beginning of the
feeding period or become infected
from. some other source than the corn
after they are put onto this feed.
Many of the feeding hogs are ship-
per in from some other locality and

are often mixed bunches, picked up- i

from various farms, some of which
are liable to harbor cholera infec-
tion. Some of these feeding herds
pass through stock yards which are
permanently infected with cholera
germs; or they may be shipped in in-
fected cars. Hogs thus exposed if
not immune will contract the disease,
and a large per cent will die after
they arrive at the feeding farms.
Moreover, “breaks”, from cholera
will occasionally occur in carlot ship-
ments which have been given the
“double treatment" for permanent
immunity, if the feeder does not ex
ercise proper care at the beginning
of the feeding period. The turning
of a car-lot of feeding hogs directly
into the corn fields on arrival from
the stock yards is attended with con—
siderable risk, because the fatigue
and the disturbance of the circulat-
ory and digestive functions incident
to vaccination and the stress of the
handling and shipping lower the vi-
taiity and powers of resistance of the
hogs. Under these conditions it is
injudicious to permit the hungry
hogs to overload the stomach and es-
pecially with new, immature corn,
whichis more fermen-table than ful—
ly ripened and weil-curedgrain, and
more liable to cause digestive dis-
turbances and diarrhoea.
Disturbance of the digestive func-
tions from dietetic errors will still
further ihcrease the susceptibility of
the herd to bog cholera, and its corm-
plioations, even though new or soft
corn is not a direct cause of cholera.

The importance, therefore, of h-av~
ing the "feeder" hogs well immuniz-
ed against hog cholera this fall be-
fore feeding the new corn crop can
scarcely be over emphasized, because
of the probability that a consider-able
amount of the crop, and especially
the last plantings, will not be prop-
erly matured and hardened before
the feeding season begins.

WE I ORD¥First of December start-
ed in Iygi‘ith Very. nice weather. Most all
of the farmers have their fall work done,
A few aucmn sales—vs. H, S. Harriette,

MONTCALM—Some or the farmers
are plowing, some cutting wood and some
working on the road. Weather has been
damp but quite warm, ' Soil in good
shape for plowing,- Nearly all farmers
are holding potatoes and grain—M. C,
P, Trutant, Mich,

AN STEE -— Farmers are lowing
andI cutIting wood. Some are wor ing on

the road. The weather is fine and warm.

’ rin . Fall grain looking good and
Igirl-{gwslfig Ehese days, There is nothing
being sold here'except chickens, hogs and
cattle, and the price is dropping every
day.——C~. H. 8,. Bear Lake. Dec. 3.

GRAND TRAVERSE—dire sure hav-
ing fine weather for this time. otthe year,
Farmers are hauling in corn. Some po-
tatoes are being sold as farmers are
afraid price will not raise much. An-
other auction sale here this week. Prices
on-cattle and hogs are way down_--C. L.
B., Williamsburg. Dec. 3.

GLADWIN—The tar-mere nave starteg

lowin and are shredding corn. An ol
gamer? oneiof the first in Gladwin twp,
died a short timp ago. The roads are
muddy, and it is not very cold. Farmers
are selling hogs. chickens and sheep,
They are holding hay and beans for
higher prices—F, A. F.. Gladwin, Dec.

GRATIOT. (east) —‘The farmers are
plowing and husking corn. Plowing is
nearly done, Lots of com to husk yet
and a good crop, Wheat is looking good
at present. Weather is warm and quite
a lot of rain There are lots of auction
sales here th 5 year but‘stuflf is not sell-
ing very high, Cows ranging from $45 to
$75. Last year they ran from $75 to
3150. Will Smith, John Zull and Jim
Newton all bought Ford tractors this fall,
——-J. W., North Star, Dec. 1. -

JACKSON (south)—Weather unsettled.
Much corn in the shock and many ap-
ples frozen on trees. Shops closed in
towns makes help plentiful. such as it
is, but farmers have no work now to
any extent for steady help, Everything
that the farmers have to sell seems to
be on the downward slope, except taxes
which are climbing the other way. Some
farmers report hog cholera on their
farms, but no serious outbreak yet—G.
8., Hanover, Dec.

MONTCALM——Some of the farmers
are now filling silos with the dry corn
stalks and others are refilling. Some
drawing potatoes. attending sales and
drawing wood to t0wn, Many are doing
fall plowing. The weather is cloudy and
rainy much of the time. Mr. James
Decker. an old soldier living on a. farm
here died Dec, 1. in the hospital at Lake-
view. after having his leg amputated for
gangrene.‘ Another farmer is putting up
the- wall for a large barn in the place of
one that burned last summer. Prices on
almost everything are going down—G,
B. W.. Lakeview, Dec, 2

NESEE -- Farmers are not doing
mfg}? the last couple of days on account-
of the bad weather. Before the bad
weather set in they were husking corn,
plowing and working on the roads. We

have had lots of rain lately and the roads ‘

bad shape, Most .of the farmers
:30 hhad sugar beets have them hauled,
Corn is not turning out as good as was
expected. Rye and wheat are not looking
very good and if we have a hard winter
they will be. in very bad condition in the
spring. There has not been as much fall
plowing done this fall as had been expec-
ted. Auction \ sales are quite plentiful
and prices received are low in most in-
stances. Farmers are not selling much
of anything with the exception of pota-
toes which they are moving slowly at
between $1.00 and $1.25 per bu,——C. W.
8,. Fenton. Dec, 2.

R E N, E.)—We have had two
wenglgNofoverg' rainy weather and it has
put back husklng corn, also fall pIOW-
ing. Lots of corn to husk yet, The wet
weather helped late sown wheat as it was
not cold and wheat has done real well.
There is not much being sold off the
farm: a little hay and a few truck loads
of oats or corn as they need it but at
prices quoted farmers are sitting tight
and will not sell without a reasonable
price. We know we have to take a big-
reduction. but do not have to sell at
prices they offer. Some are figuring to
farm only part of place next year and
I know some that have bought farms on
contracts that will lose out. The big-
gest noise now is how high taxes are,
and that by some that did not go to vote
at ail_—-G, L. S.——Newport, Dec. 2

CRAWFORD COUNTY—Even after a.
splendid fall we seem behind the weather_
Farmers are husklng corn; some leaving
the corn on the stalk and filling silos as
they have no time to husk. Some are
holding potatoes and some are selling.
The farmers’ association is selling for
$1.00 per bu. Some plowing is being
done althought the soil is rather wet.
Grain crops were heavy and seeding
good so farmers all report a favorable
year. No market now for chickens and
prices have been low since fall,—-A. H.,
Frederic.

MIDLAND—Husking corn is the order
of the day. Some fall plowing is being

done and-wood is being cut for winter.

The weather is good at present. The
ground is not frocen and is in good con-
dition to plow. Not much produce go-
ing to market as prices are too low. Not
much building is being done, Most of
the farmers are members of the Farm
Bureau.‘ They are talking or organizing
an elevator association. Auction sales

.are plentiful with horses going very low.
Good cattle are selling,to_r what they are

_ JAMES
 Camel:

How do you do our
chores —- the 01 way
or the J amesway?

The old way—cleaning out the
barn is the dirtiest and hardest
work on the place—a chore that
is shirked by everyone who has
a chance to get away from it.
Loading up the old wheelbar-
row—pushing it out through the
barn, leaving a trail of dripping
filth—across a mushy yard and
up on to a manure pile, trying
the strength and patience of the
strongest man; afterwards load-
ing the wagon from the pile, los-
mg the liquid—who could like
such a job?
But dir-
t y w o r k
like this is
no longer
‘1 necessary
‘0 n a n y
farm.
This task,
>~ »- - like many
other tasks in the dairy barn, has
been changed by James to a chore
that even the boys like and which
they can do as well as the
strongest man.

James Carriers Make
Chore Time Short

What a snap it is to clean the
barn the modern James Way!
How easy to drop the carrier to
the floor, lifting the manure bare-
ly knee high to get it into the tub.

In a few moments the big tub
can be loaded with more manure
than half a dozen wheelbarrows
can hold.

Then a quick, easy run out of
the barn and a jerk on the trip
empties the load directly into
wagon or spreader or onto the
pile.

And it’s a clean way. The tub
is practically water tight — no
slopping or dripping.

A most

; attractive
A feature of
n this new
way is that

fr e e d o m
from the
dru d gery

iosts you less-in actual dollars and
l'entséthan the old way of cleaning
with a wheelbarrow, or with wagon
driven through the barn.

. Every farmer ought to know that the
old-time wheel-barrow way of cleaning
the barn is the most expensive way.
He knows very well it’s the hardest.

' The cost of wheelbarrows or the coat
of modern carriers is only a fraction of
the real cost. -

‘ ‘ The real expense is the time required
v ’——time for which you pay cash if your

‘ . 3 Iyou do it yourself.

hired man does the work; or time in
which you can be earning bigger profits

 James carriers cut this time in half.
