ROBABLY‘ never before have the
solons listened as carefully to the
voice of 'the farmers as they are

i doing during the present sessionof

the legislature, With the farmers
better organized than ever before,

and with their organisations co-op- -.

crating in an unprecedented way, the
lawmakers cannot ignore the pleas
of the agricultural interests.

The legislative committees of the
Michigan State Farm Bureau, the
State Grange, the Cleaners and the
Aﬂiliated Farmers' Clubs have form-
ed a federated legislative committee
and are actively pushing' certain
measures of interest to farmers.

~14Foremost among the propositions re-
‘ ceiving the support of this federated
‘ committee is the so~cailed.McArthur-

Mosier constitutional amendment al-
lowing for legislative enactment of

. a state income tax law.

At a- recent meeting of this com-
mittee the following resolution was
adopted: “We, the undersigned rep-
resentatives of the following farm
organizations, take this opportunity
to inform you that‘we are unani-
mously in favor of the immediate
submission to the people of the Mc-
Arthur—Mosier resolution, providing
for the taxation of incomes."

Signed copies of this resolution
were immediately forwarded to Sen.

made, however, to rush this amend-

allowing ample time for public hear-

income tax issue might have a chance
to be heard before any action was
taken, the legislative committees
having the McArthurddosier amend-

a public hearing before their com-

manager of his department, Mr. A.
J. Rankine, director of’ marketing,
having- been relieved of purchasing
department responsibilities at his
on request in order that he might
devote all of his time to the wool

of Michigan. \ ,

the Michigan State Farm Bureau

while it has one of the three earlqu
of alfalfa seed grown in Montana,
some commercial seed companies are
advertising car lots of it. It is hint-
ed that Kansas seed has been ship-
ped into Montana and resold as Mon-
tana grown seed. The seed depart-
ment says that the importance of
Michigan farmers getting northern
grown seed cannot be overestimated.

On March 11 the Central Freight

Chicago as to establish a general
rule for all carriers in MBchigan with
respect to the rule on furnishing two

ply two singie on the minimum
weight price for a double on both in.
terstate and intrastate
others on the intrastate only and an-
other setof roads charge theship-
per the minimum weights on both
cars whether the shipment is inter-
state or intrastate. The farm bu-
reau tramc department is trying to

work this tangle out in the inter-‘

The state farm bureau will be rep-
resented~ at the meeting of the per-

, Beet factory representatives now in the
.‘ ﬁeld are said to have departed somewhat from
__their old $10 for nine cent sugar oﬁer, with
" a bonus clause, which for 1920 amounted to
seven cents {on the ten. They now have a
contract which approaches the association’s
agreement in pattern-but not in prices oifer-
ed. Factory men are said to be oﬁering $6 a
' Uton for beets on the basis of six cent sugar
" a while the beet association would get $7.42 a
ton on six cent sugar.
The Michigan growers contract followed
, the negotiations of the Utah and Idaho farm
‘ bureau sugar beet growers with their manu-
facturers, which carried the same schedule of
prices as that being distributed in Michigan.
The agreement is an airtight crop contract
and assures all its signers that the growers
will stick together, , says 0.  Ackerman of

sociation or your county farm bureau once.
—-Associate Editor.

 
Durand, manager of the growers association.
Such a guarantee did not obtain ' 1920 when,
the beet growers broke with the 1Eateries and
the ensuing lack of conﬁdence which develop-
ed was responsible in a large measure for the
defections from the ranks of the beet grow-
ers, which enabled the factories to operate
that year, according to Mr. Ackerman. '

One of the points stressed by beet men is
that the new contract gets away from the vag-
ue premises which have ﬁgured the letting of
contracts in other years, these as a rule, did
not materialize. The experience of 1920
when the'farmers signed a $10 contract, hop-
ing that they would get $16 a ten for beets
through the bonus system, is a shining exam-
ple of what the beet men say they have had
enough. They say that basing the price per
ton on the price of sugar will give.them what
they consider a just return on their crop and
will give them a fair share of any rise in the
market.

~tion_under most favorable circumstances

Heretofore the bonus system has.

$54.

production has been ﬁgured as follows: Seed,
$1.75; fertilizer, $3; hand labor, $25;

ing, lifting, hauling to leading station, $23,

An absolute minimum cost' of produe- . 
of ’ 7
taxes . 
” on land, $2; plowing, ﬁtting, rolling, plant ‘

total, $53.75, giving the farmer a return of 25 4 

cents on the acre? However, the farm man-
agement department of M. A. C. has ﬁgured
that the production cost on beets is $100 an

acre, which shows why $9 beets and nine tons 1 

to the acre don’t pay. _

Beet growers in other states are watching
the outcome of the action taken by the Michi-
gan association on behalf of its members and '

other growers, particularly so as the contract , 

oﬁered in Michigan was endorsed by dele-
gates to the national sugar beet growers’ con- '
vention in Chicago, held under the auspices of
the American Farm Bureau Federation.

The Michigan contract is to be distributed
through ‘ local growers’
farm bureau locals where the former do not
exist. Producers who are overlooked should
notify the local or state association at Durand
says Manager Ackerman of the State organ-l
ization. ,

' to put the dairy industry on its feet again in

that manufacturers of dairy products would

of a higher quality of cream or milk from all

The following resolution was adopted:

Whereas the quality of the creamery but-
ter manufactured in Michigan is gradually
deteriorating and

Whereas this fact in the opinion of this
fundamentally due to the
fact that under the present competitive con-
ditions no ﬁnancial incentive is provided for

. Whereas, it is also recognized by this com-
mittee that the present duplication of cream
buying agencies is an uneconomic tax upon
the producer and together with the question
of quality constitutes a condition which the
cream producer is unable to stand under pre-
vailing economic conditions aﬁecting the in-

‘. outlook is‘ not very certain and. ~that. «many
‘ farmers feel that they are taking quite' a‘loss,

' A recent state wide survey of the farm la-‘
bor situation made by the Michigan .:.«State
Farm bureau through county agents in 71
counties elicited 33 replies and the -fact,.that
there would be more jobs, little expansion on
the part of the farmers and lower wages for
farm labor. The day of big wages is past for
the hiredman just as it is for his city— broth-'
er, but he ‘is goingto be paid a good wage
just the same. -

Fifteen of the counties answering the ques-
tionnaire said that they would be hiring more
men than they did in 1920. Then they could

ranks, and the remaining eight spoke of cur-
tailments in both labor and. production.

Farm labor wages will, range frOm board
and $25 a month, to $40 and $45 a month
With board, which will be _the general aver—
age. Washtenaw offers the peak wage for
good men——$75, but they are said to be very
, scarce and the minimum wage in that county
is placed at $30 by the county agent, showing
that there will be many graduations. Wages
in Michigan in 1920 were generally higher
than the average and they are now taking a
drop which will average about forty per cent,
says the state farm burea“.

Farmers speak with one voice in explaining
why farm labor wages are to be out almost in
half. Low prices, no demand for their pro-
duce, an easy labor market and a reluctance

~to invest their money in labor'and materials
under present conditions are among the rea-
sons given.

County Agents said: Alpena county ex-
pects to hire more farm labor and to increase»
its crop acreage. Wages offered are $30 to
$50 a month, representing a ten per cent re-
duction over 1920. A few laborers are re-
turning from the city.

Antrim county farmers declare that they

General Treatment for Spraying Your Apple and Plum Trees

N THE FALL, winter, or early spring,
make an inspection of your apple trees for
scale-insects. Look on the twigs and branches
of trees in different parts of the orchard. The
kinds most commonly‘found are: San Jose,
Oyster—shell, Scurfy, and the European Fruit-
scale. Scale-insects are serious pests, (espec-
ially the San Jose), and must be destroyed.
" Just before the buds open, if scale is found
spray with strong lime—sulphur or Scalecide
or some other efficient scale destroyer. Be
thorough in this. Cover every part of the
tree.
As soon as the blossom buds separate in the
clusters, while they are “in the pink,” a
spraying must be made to prevent scab, the
Canker-worm, the Bud—Moth and possibly a
few other insects, as Plant-Lice and Red-Bug.
, For this spray may be used bordeaux-mix—
'ture er lime~sulphur for the Scab and to each
50 gallons of either add for chewing insects
two or three pounds of arsenate of, lead‘paste
‘or from 1 to 11/2 pounds of arsenate "of lead
powder or 34" ou‘nd‘ of arsenate Vof calcium
pewder. If plant lice or red-bug are present
 » when this spraying is to be made, addto the

Alcona County Farmers
F orm_Potato Agreement

T A RECENT meeting of the Harrisville
Township unit of the Alcona County
Farm Bureau, forty farmers signed an agree-
ment whereby they pledged themselves not to
raise contract potatoes during the present
year at a stipulated price less than ﬁfty cents
per bushel. ’ '

The price for contract potatoes now being,

offered by the companies is considered by the
farmers as being too small to give them a fair
return on the labor and other necessary ex-
penses involved in raising and marketing the
potato crop.‘ The movement is now being

taken up by the various township units in the ,

county and it is expected that it will be sign-

ed by a majority of the farmers within a few

days.
Believing in the slogan, “In union there is

strength,” and having an earnest desire to
make the proposition more effective, a com—.

#- Pooling, Wool:

BE FARMERS in' this state' pooled
their wool last year with the state farm
bureau and because the ,‘m’arket went.

with the result of their pooling while oth-:
ers reasoned the question out and x 818‘

proven highly successful in most of » the
states where it has been tried. It stands
to reason that farmers selling collectively
can demand better prices than when sell-
ing individually and the writer of this art-
icle has studied results" obtained in other
states very closely and this article is the-
ﬁresult of his study. He tells how in some
states they have had their clip manufact-
ured into blankets. The Michigan State
Farm Bureau has found a market for a
large portion of their pool in this way.—

their clips last year. Hardly a county but
marketed the clip in that fashion, and in ev~
cry case at a proﬁt. County agents’ reports
last summer were full of references to woo]
pools. Last year forty-sixfarmers in Mar-
i0n county pooled 16,015 pounds of wool, and
the price received averaged three cents a
pound higher than .was bid by local buyers,
which means a saving of $480,46. Worth
while, to be Sure.

The Northwest Missouri Wool Pool at St.
Joseph sold 220,802 pounds of wool at an ad-
vance in price of 7.8 cents a pound more than
was offered locally. Livingston county, Mo.,
pooled 47,000 pounds; Johnson county, 48,-

000 pounds; Cape Girardeau county, 12,850 . ' 0

pounds; Bates county, 52,810 pounds; and in

all cases pooling has resulted in better prices

for "Wool. ' ' j
One of the ﬁrst counties to adopt the pool- 1

‘ ing' system in marketing~ wool ‘ is J'eﬁerson

county, Iowa. The ﬁrst p001 was formed
therein 1915. The pool had only ﬁfty-ﬁve

,members .the ﬁrst . year, but the membership Q
L has grown to more .than 200. The responsi—

bility of selling the wool, rests with three 'di- ‘
rectors. Each member of the pool reports to
the committeeman in his township, the num-
ber of fleeces he will have to sell, and the
number of sacks he will need for his clip. The
committeeman in turn reports this informa-
tion to the county secretary of the wool p001-
ing organization. The sacks are brought and
distributed among the members.

Just before shearing time directions are
sent out regarding the shearing and care of
the fleece, so that all packs will be uniform.
If a pack of wool is not honestly put up, the
member is docked on his receipts or expelled
from the pool.

Bids for the wool are based on samples that
are brought to the county agent’s ofﬁce. If
the buyer wishes, he may inspect the wool by
driving through the county. When the wool
is bought, the members of the pool are noti-
ﬁed to bring their wool to the point of ship-
ment. Prices have always been from three
to ten cents, a pound higher than local offers.

Wool is graded when it is received at the
poolingstation, for shipment. Each sack is
tagged with a number, and the record of "wool
in that sack is kept so as to trace any mistake
or fraud.

“But the wool is only half sold when it is
pooled, and while pooling may
help the bidding, it does not make
a better market for wool,” says
someone.

Unfortunately that is true.°Sev-
eral states have solved the problem
of poor market, the big problem
last year, by manufacturing their
wool.

Farmers in North Carolina have
found that there are more ways

than one to get a market for wool.

- NE. OF THE ﬁnal ofﬁcial acts of Pres-
ident Wilson was to veto the For'dney
Emergency Agricultural Tariff Bill.
forts of congress to pass the measure over the
President’s veto were unavailing, the vote .fall-
ing far short of the requisite two-thirds ma-
jority. The vote was not conﬁned to party
lines as is so often the case in matters of tar-
iﬁ legislation, many democrats from‘ agricul-
tural districts voting in favor of the measure,
and a number of republicans from industrial
centers voting against it. '

The Presidential veto came as no surprise

to the friends of .the Emergency Tariff Bill.
Indeed, it. had been freely predicted during
the course of the discussion of the measure
that the president would veto it and it was
said that both democrats
voted in favor of the measure contrary to
their individual convictions for the sake of
*7 pacifying their agricultural constituents,
 with the full expectation that the president
would prevent the measure from becoming a
a law. . ' '
’ In returning the measure to congress with-
out his signature, President Wilson gave a
lengthy explanation of his reasons for veto—
ing the bill. It was clear that the president
did not wish to appear in the light of being
unfriendly to the agricultural interests but
it was also clear that ‘he did not intend to
compromise his OWn convictions upon the
subject for the mere sake of gaining the ap-
proval of the farmers. '

In his veto measure, the president said in
part:

“The title of this measure indicates that it has
several purposes. The report of the committee
on ways and means reveals that its principal ob-
ject is to furnish relief to certain producers in
the nation who have been unable to discover sat-
isfactory markets in foreign countries for their
products and whose prices have fallen. Very
little reflection would lead anyone to conclude
that the measure would not furnish in any sub-
stantial degree the relief sought by the produc-
ers of most of the staple commodities which it
covers.

“This nation has been for very many years a
large exporter of agricultural products. For
nearly a generation before it_entered the Euro-
pean war its exports exceeded its imports of ag-
ricultural commodities by from approximately
5200;000,000 to more than $500,000,000. In re-
cent years this excess has greatly increased and
in 1919 reached the huge total of $1,904,249,‘000.
The excess of exports of staple products is es-
pecially marked.

Little Wheat Imported

“In 1913 the nation imported 783,481 bushels
of wheat valued at $670,931, and in 1920, 35,-
848,648 bushels worth $75,398,834; while it ex-
ported in 1913, 99,508,968 bushels worth $95,-
098,838, and in 1920, 218,280,231 bushels valued
at $596,957,796. In the year 1913 it imported
185,183 barrels of wheat flour valued at $347,877

at $26,453,681; ' -

“Oi preserved milk,. in the same year, it im-
ported $3,331,812 worth and exported $65,239,-
020 worth. Its imports in the same year of su-
gar and wool, of course, greatly exceeded its ex-
ports.  «
’ “It is obvious that for the commodities, except
sugar and wool, mentioned in the measure, which
make up the greater part of our agricultural in-
ternational trade, the imports can have little or
no effect on the prices of the domestic products.
This is strikingly true of such commodities as
wheat and corn. The imports of wheat have
come mainly from Canada and Argentina and
have not competed with the domestic crop. Rath-
er they have supplemented it. .

Particular Grades Needed

“The price of wheat is a world price; and it is
a matter of little moment whether the Canadian

g wheat goes directly into the markets of the other

countries of the world or indirectly through this
country. The relatively small quantity of corn
imported into this country has a specialized use
and does not come into competition with the do-
mestic commodity. ' -

“The situation in which many of the farmers
of the country ﬁnd themselves cannot be remedi-
ed by a measure of this sort. ‘This is doubtless
generally understood. There is no short Way out
of existing conditions, and measures of this sort
can only have the effect of deceiving the farmers
and of raising false hopes among them. Actu-
al relief can come only from the adoption of con-
structive measures of a broader scope, from the
restoration of peace everywhere in the' world, the
resumption of normal industrial pursuits, the re-
covery particularly of Europe and the discovery
there of additional credit foundations 'on the ba-
sis of which her people may arrange to take, from
farmers and other producers of.this nation a
greater part of their surplus production.

’ O O t

Better Credits Needed
"What the farmer now needs is not only a bet-
ter system of domestic marketing and credit, but
especially larger foreign markets for his surplus
products. Clearly, measures of this sort will not
conduce to an expansion of the foreign market.”

No Effect on Markets

A close study of the market during the
period surrounding the birth of the Emer-
gency Agricultural Tariﬁ Bill and its 'subse-
quent veto by‘the president disclosed the fact
that the trade had largely discounted the ef-
fect of the proposed tariff upon the prices of
farm products. In fact, very little attention
was given to the pending legislation by the
traders in the market who undoubtedly felt

that it did not matter one way or the other-

whether the bill became a law or not. It is
most signiﬁcant that the veto of the bill. by
the president did not cause a riifle in the mar-
ket. As a matter of fact the wheat market

a matter of record that the American bean,
market has been demoralized, if not ruined,
by the competition of Japanese beans. Itis
also a matter of record that the importation
of Canadian and Danish potatoes has been
during the past several years of suﬁcient
quantity to keep the price to the American
producer dangerously close to the cost of pro-
duction. American wool has likewise suffer.
ed severely because of the competition of the
Australian product. The same is true of the
American beet sugar mai'ket which has been
temporarily paralyzed by the importation of
cane sugar from nearly all of the low produc-
ing sugar countries of the world. In our '
judgment an Emergency Tariff Bill involve
ing these ﬁve items and no more would have
stood a far. better chance of receiving the ap-
proval of President Wilson than the bill as
originally drawn. Incidentally it is in four
of these ﬁve items that the farmers of Michi-

TREATING SEED CORN ‘ J ‘

I would like to know how to treat
seed corn for smut. I use formaldehyde
for oats, Would it do for com? If it
will, how much. must I use?—H. ..
Fairgrove, Michigan,

There is no effective method of
treating seeLcorn to prevent smut.
The spores of corn smut are carried
for the most part in the soil. Grow-
ing corn in a good rotation and
planting from seed .-selected I
healthy stalks is the most effective
way of controlling the corn smut.
Corn smut does most damage under
conditions where corn follows corn

\ Poppies were formerly grown as
a money crop in some section of
this; country; particularly in the
state “or Vernmnt where it was
groWn primarily for seed to be used
for Opium. I. understand that with-
in're'cent years the Chinese govern-
‘ment'Ihas passed a law forbidding
‘th'e'g'e‘neral sale of opium to its in-
habitants and therefore I am of the
opinion that the market. for poppy
seed'to be used for this purpose is
quite limited at the present time.‘
The only market that might be
available would be from some of the
"large seed houses, buf as a rule pop-
pies are not grown in Michigan as
a seed_crop for this purpose. I can-
not encourage, ;therefore_ the grow-
ing of‘p’oppies at theIpresent time on
a, commercial scale. I also believe
that if they were to be produced it
would/me better to select upland soil

rather than muck land as they are

a crop that; do not need much fertil-

ity in the. soil and would tend to run
to vegetative growth rather than to
heavy seed production on our muck
soils-—0'.~P. Halligan, Prof. of Horti-

ABSENT FROM SCHOOL

Do the parents of school children have
to send written excuse to . the teacher
when a. child is absent for one or more
days; and is the teacher allowed to keep
the child's report card and refuse to send
it to the child’s parents until she receiv-
es the excuse from the parents?—A Sub-
scriber, Gladwin, Michigan.

It is best for the parents to co-
operate Twith the teachers concerning
all regulations of the teacher. When
the pupil is absent from school the
teacher does not know whether the
pupil is playing truant or absent be-
cause the parent desired it. It is
best all around for the parent to
comply with any regulations that the
teacher has. They are meant for
your beneﬁt and for the beneﬁt of
your child—W. E. Brown, legal edit-

MAKING BRICK WALLS DAMP-
. ' PROOF

VIWould you .please- tell what to do for '2'

the walls on the inside of a brick house
where the plaster is put on the brick?
Dampness seems to come through and
paper will not stick. As the plaster is
old and crumbling off, would painting
the walls be the proper thing to do, or
put‘ on new plaster before painting?
There is no air space between plaster
and brick and some have suggested
plaster board—A Reader, Homer, Mich.

It would be very difﬁcult to damp-
proof this wall so that a covering of
paper could be used. It seems that
the only satisfactory way to get .
around the difﬁculty is to fur the"
wall with 2 inch strips placed 16 in—
ches apart so that lath and plaster
can be placed upon these furring
strips as it would be upon studding.
If the time could be found when the
wall is perfectly dry and a coat of ‘
asphaltum water-proofing paint is
applied to it a great deal of the dif-
ﬁculty with moisture will be obvi-
ated but with this paint it would not
be satisfactory to apply paper or oth-
er wallcovering. The» only sure way
of overcoming the difﬁculty is to
provide an air space by some means
such as I have suggested.

' NOTHEB quiet week is reports
ed in, business and industrial'
circles, 'the chief feature of in-

, tel-est being the close of the Wilson

administration land the inauguration
of President Harding. A pronounc-

, I ail-reeling of optimism is plainly dis-
' ~ cox-noble among all classes of busi-
- ~,ness men because they are conﬁdent

that a change of administration, at
this time, is just what the country
needs most. Many predictions are
being made concerning the early re-
turn of prosperity in the form of
plenty of work and an ample demand
for all raw material and manufactur-

ed products; as very little is heard ”

about better times for the farmer,
we ﬁnd it hard to imagine a gener-
al revival without counting him in.

There is good reason to believe
that more business is being done,
Just now, in connection with the sale

‘ of cloth than in any other line; man-u

ufacturers have quoted very favor-
able prices for this clasa of‘ goods
and the trade is taking advantage of
the opportunities oﬂered and are
buying both cotton and woolen
goods,‘ freely. The same mnnot be
said of trade in other lines, especial-
ly is this true of the iron and steel
industry. The independent steel
manufacturers are only running 25
per cent of their total capacity and
there is reason to believe. that the
U. S. Steel Corporation must lower
prices to competitive selling leve‘s
before they can hope to add to the
volume of their business‘ The ﬁrst
report made since the close of ,the
war, on Gemany’s export business,
in manufactured steel. shows that
for the ﬁrst lmlf of 1020. German
steel manufacturers exported 735,-
000 tons; for the same-period in
19‘2, the. showing was 3,352,000

‘ tons.

The total amount of manufactur-
ed iron, produced in this country
during the month of February, was
1.927.000 ions: the January output
was 2,414,752 tons. On Feb. 1, of
this your, 164 furnaces were in
blast. On March 1. the, number was
down to 153. During the last few
months, 164 furnaces have dropped
out of production in this country.
Foundry operations. in the industrial
district which includes Ohio, Indi-
ana. Michigan, Northwestern Penn-
svlvnnia and Western New York,
are estimated to be running about 23
per cent of capacity. Regardless of_
the reports that the automobile in-
dustry is rapidly rounding to. the
out. remains that Michigan is mak-
ing the poorest showing of any of.
the states mentioned.

The unemployment situation still
continues to be very bad, especially
in the" district which surrounds De-
troit and includes all of lower Mich-
igan: there has been occasionally, a

'hit of encouraging: news in the form

of the announcement of a resump-
tion of active operations by the Cad-
illac Motor (10.. of Detroit and two
or three of the Pontiac factories that
make parts for the Ford Motor Co.
The numlwr of men actively employ-
ed. at Ford‘s Highland Park plant,
is being increased from week to

Wheat prices averaged higher last
week. Crop news came in for more
consideration, the winter wheat sit-
uation in the southwest having ex-
cited some attention by reason of
high winds and renewed insect act-
ivity. ‘ There was another demon-
stration of the lack of public will-
ingness to take hold in an invest-
ment way, but the market nererthe-
less received a good character of sup-
part and displayed a ﬁrm undertone.
Private estimates on farm reserves
of wheat were bearish, indicating
large amount back in growers‘ hands
but failed to have important bearing
on the market. This was partially
due to the fact that, the farm total is
offset to a considerable degree by the
fact that the amount of wheat in
second hands is very small and also
because many did not believe that
the government report, to he issued
this week will conﬁrm private esti-
mates. Strained political condition
abroad was of influence calling at-
tention to the fact that production
over there can hardly become nor-
mal while affairs are so unsettled.

The closing day 01 the markets saw.

all grains weak owing to predictions
of rain for- Sunday in the southwest.
Realization of rain predictions weak-
ened grains the opening day of the
current week and prices went down.

'1

Light receipts and European politi-
cal news are bullish motors in the
markets at present ‘and dealers are
very reluctant about selling Aheir
stocks. Wheat is in ostrong posi-
tion and one market expert believes
$2.00 wheat is almost in sight. Wint-
or wheat in general is looking good,
according .to government reports.

In spite of large receipts from
elevators corn was ﬁrm last week
and prices averaged higher through-
out the country. An active expert
demand had 'much to do with the
advancing prices last week; around
a million bushels were sold in Chica-
go to go overseas. Owing jo prepar-
ations for spring work farmers are
not marketing much grain; one
house with 50 stations in Illinois
and Iowa report they took in only
500 bushels Friday of last week. It
is felt there is a bull movement com-
ing in this coarse grain and deal-
ers believe the remainder of the
1920 crop can be marketed without
further serious recessions of prices.
Of course tliis does not mean prices
will not go lower because large re-
ceipts invariably cause .msrkets to
seek lower levels but it does mean

'while temporary declines are expect-

ed the general trend will be upward
instead of the reverse. Monday of
the present week found .this coarse
grain following the trend of wheat
but with a slightly more bullish as-
pect.

 
OA’lS

There was also considerable
strength shown in oats last week and
the grain ﬁnished the week higher
in all markets. Domestic demand ‘is
becoming better and oat markets ap-
pear to be taking a new interest in
life. Like in other grains receipts

' lieved at the ending of the suspense‘,

‘. as. prices are» somewhat erratic, but
generally. steady.”

f'lThe general live stock trade, the
country over, shows to be on a much
better footing than on this date last
month; as might naturally be ex-

 pected, the sheep and lamb situation
. is the weakest number on the list

and a. seasonal outlook for ' veal
calves suggests a gradual decline-in
live calf prices until after the peak

in spring receipts has gone by.‘Ea§t-’

ern markets have all marked up
.and Chicago has added $1 to $2 per
A cwt. The entire line of packing
' house products has b n marked up
.but dressed mutton an lamb closed
lower than on the week before, ow-
ing to the advent of burdensome re-
ceipts of fat sheep and lambs on the
closing days at the week.’

The Chicago cattle trade was well
supported, all last week, by the act-
ivities of eastern order buyers who
. stood ready to take everything that
showed quality at an advance over
the pricesrpaid the week before for
the same kind. The average qual-
ity of. the cattle, received in the
Chicago market during the week,
was the best of the sea-son, hardly
enough of the inferior grades of
.steers coming to hand to establish
values. The top for steers was
$10.76 being the same as last week;
the steers that topped the market
were of mixed breeding and averag-
ed 1,571 pounds. They were fed in
Missouri and went to Boston. The
highest priced‘ yearlings were 720-
pound Herefords‘, fed in Missouri;
they brought $10.40 per cwt. The
average price of good beef steers, in
Chicago last week. was $9 being 25
cents higher than the week-before
, and $4.30 lower than for the same
week, last year. ‘

Butchers cattle. in Chicago last
week, averaged about 25 cents high-
7 'er than the week before; bulls start-
ed the week well but were fully 50
cents lower on the close than the
high point, earlier in the week. Can.
hers and cutters were a trifle higher
for the week on the better grades
but the poorer grades were only
steady. An improved demand for

the cheaper grades of butcher cow,
developed as a result of a. demand

from the country for feeding pur-
poses. The better grades of stock-
ers and feeders were scarce all last
week in Chicago and prices averaged
‘50 cents per cwt. higher than during
{the week before.

outlook for feeding cattle favors an

Live Hogs and Their Products

. A Shir-p advance in live hog pric-
es was staged in all'markets early
last week. The top for the week
was, $11.25 being 50 cents higher
than the top for the previous week.
The week's hog arrivals, 185,800,
showed a gain of 18,500 over the
week before and 35,800 over the cor-
responding week, last year. The
week’s average, in Chicago, was
$10.20-per cwt..beiug 70 cents per

'cwt. higher than that of the week

before. Buffalo reported a $12 top
for'hogs ﬁve days last week, but the
high at Omaha and Sioux City was
$9.50. The general average top for
the week, in 14 principal markets,
was $10.80 compared with $10.15
for the previous week. The close on
Saturday was decidedly weak and as
arrivals on Monday of this week
were larger than had been looked
for, prices were again marked low-
er. The trade is looking for 180,-
000 hogs, 54,000 cattle and 75,000
sheep and lambs this week at Chi-
cago, the totals in this estimate are
considerably higher than. the re-
ceipts for the same week, last year.
Last week’s speculative provision
trade responded to the bulge in live
hog values, prices being marked up
50 cents per cwt. on lard and ribs
and $1 per barrel on r mess pork;
with'the decline in hog prices, the
commodity was marked down but
closed the week somewhat higher
than the week before.-

LAY ROOFING OVER SHINGLES
During the past three or four
years any number of buildings on the
farms of Michigan have been ne—
glected, though sadly in need of re—
roofing. Good news for our friends
who have been putting off this nec-
essary improvement to their prop
erty comes in the announcement
“Lay Winthrop’s Right Over Old
Shinglesl’f which appears on the

' back cover of this issue. #‘his com-

position shingle is so durable that
the mdnufacturers. an old reliable
Detroit paper house, absolutely guar-
antees them to last 15 years. They

.are tape'red-'—thick at the butt and

thin at the top—just like a wooden
shingle, and this is an exclusive and
patented feature of the Winthrop
asphalt shingle. .Ot course, they, are
ideal for new buildings, but
fact that they can be laid right over
old shingles makes them appeal to
hundreds of farmers who must re-
roof‘ this spring. .Beecher‘, Peck &
Lewis, Detroit, are the manufactur—
ers and we hope every reader who is
even thinkinng re-roofing either a

new or old buildingwlll send in the

coupon for more information or
write them, mentioning the fact that
you saw the announcement in THE

now are paying four dollars per cow

(,Another plan which might be
"found satisfactory but whiCh em-
ploys the same principle would be to
plug the brick wall and tie metal
lath to it, upon which plaster could
‘be applied. This plan would not re-
quire as great a thickness, of wall to
be added as the other scheme. It is
possible tolessen the amount of mix—
ture coming through the brick wall
by applyingto the outside of the wall
a soap and alum wash _known _‘as
Sylvester’s Wash and‘which I am
giving below: ’

Sylvester’s wash has long been
used: for waterproofing brick work
"and concrete which has hardened
and dried»out. It consists in the
alternate applications of alum and

 
. wall. The alum-solution is made by
dissolving eight ounces of alum per
gallon of water, and the soap solu-
.v-tion by dissolving one and one-half
pounds of hard soap per gallon of
water. The surface should be clean
and dry so that the solutions will be
readily absorbed. The air temper—
ature should not be less than 500 de-
grees F. The soap solution should
be applied boiling hot While the
alum solution should be about 70
degrees F. A coat of the soap solu—
tion is ﬁrst applied, using a white-
wash or other convenient brush and
rubbing it well into the surface but
taking care not to produce a froth.
This is left for 24 hours or until the
surface is entirely dry. A coat of
the alum solution is then applied and
allowed to dry for another 24 hours.
This is followed with another coat of
soap and another of alum at similar

 
of soap solutions to the face of the 9

intervals. 1 Twi) parser? coats should
"‘be'tsuiiic’ient for any. ordinary case,
though additional ones may be ap-.

plied if required. . The effect of this
treatment is to, form an insoluble
cempound.--0‘f Alciuin soap in the
outer- "por‘es. of"“th‘e' concrete, this
soap ﬁlling? the pores and “acting as

Balancing the Foreign Trade
IN HIS message to Congress explailﬁng his
veto of the emergency agricultural tariﬂ
bill President Wilson said:

“There are Only three ways in which Europe
can meet her part of her indebtedness, namely, by
the establishment of, private crdits, by the ship<
ments of gold, or of commodities. If We wish to
have Europe settle her debts, governmental or
commercial_ we must be prepared “to buy from
her, and if we wish to assist Europe and our-
elves by the export of either food, or raw mater-
ials, or ﬁnished products, we must be prepared to
welcome commodities which we need and which
Europe will be prepared, with no little pain to
send us." ‘ I
. There is no mistaking Mr. Wilson’s mean-
ing. He believes that foreign food products
should come into this country, as it gives us
an opportunity to pay back to Europe some
of the enormous sums which she paid to us
during the war. The reasons which he gives
for his position are sound enough. The trade
balance, which for several years, has been very
largely in favor of. the United States must be
out much lower or equalized if our 'cxport
business is to continue. With these conclu-
sions the farmers of the United States have no
quarrel. They are perfectly Willing sthat a
portion of American purchases abroad shall
be of food products, providing that they in
turn may be able to purchase raw materials,
farm machinery and other supplies from for-
e'gn manufacturers at sufﬁcient Saving to help
make up their losses on food products sold in
competition with foreign products.

If, .for the sake of international exchange,
American farmers are asked to compete with

A. European farmers, by the same token the-

manufacturers of \goods which _ the farmers
, must buy should be expected to do the same
,thing. But there are large‘industrial. hotel‘-

ests in this country who are showing that they '

do not expect to make any such sacriﬁces.
They want to eat their cake and have it, 'too.
'They want their business protected from for-
eign competition by a. high protective tariif,
and they are already preparing to make their
wants known to Congress.

Large as has been the exports of American
food products, they haveveasily been exceeded
by the exports of Amﬂican .manufactories.
. The abnormal demand- for our food products
is gradually subsiding; as Europe ’s ‘agricul-
ture comes back into its Own. But the de-
"mand for manufactured goods continues . un-
= abated. American ingenuity and inventiveness
have set a pace which Europe’s manufactur-
- ers will ﬁnd it difﬁcult to follow which means
that there will always be a' large European
market for American made goods. The fu-
 ture, therefore, is one  the American

be “the next president of the 1M. A. (3., to sue-

ceed (Frank 'S. Kedzie who has recently an!"

ngunced his. willingness to resign and make
way for a y0unger man. I recently sat beside
of David Friday at a luncheon table, and was

vividly impressed with his broad knowledge .

Of current affairs, and his ready answers to
many questions which were ﬁred at him upon
knotty economic problems. Friday is a young
man, probably not over forty. He was born
of a family of farmers, his brothers being suc-
cessful farmers and camera in the -v’vcstern

part of the state. He’ has'made a life-long '

study of economics, but has acquired no nar»
row or faddy notions. On the contrary he is
extremely practical and his lectures are us-
ually full of human interest comparisons
which makes him a most entertaining and easi-
ly understood speaker. I was surprised, to
learn upon the occasion above referred \to that
Prof. Friday is abelicver in both the excess
proﬁts tax and'the income tax; I say “sur-
prised,” because the bigﬁnancial interests op-
posed to the excess proﬁts tax, have succeeded
in inducing many of ~ the nation’s leading
f‘economists” into declaring that the excess
proﬁts tax is “economically unsound.” ” I
thought to myself that here was a young man
who preferred \to do his own thinking instead
of having it done by the proﬁteers. Yes,
David Friday would make a good president
for the M. A. C. We earnestly hope that he
may be the choice of the Board of Agricul-
turc.

Exit Milk Commission

AM IN receipt of a letter from , Fred L.

Warner, written at Los Angeles, Cal., in
which he tells me that the Milk Commission
which has sought to arbitrate the milk price
in the Detroit area for the last several years,
is no more. It will be remembered that Mr.
Warner was one of this members of this cdm-
mission who gave freely of his time in the
hopes of bringing about permanent mediator-
ial relations between the producers and dis—
tributors of milk. The failure to realize this
ideal should by no means he laid at the door
of the CommissiOn who, be it said, exhausted
every effort and patience in a three year trial.
The reasons for the failure of the Commission
idea were entirely beyond the control of the
Commission, as has been repeatedly discussed
in these columns before. Mr. Warner writes:

“I hear the Commission is out of business. 'In'

fact, before I left home at one of our conferenc—‘

es with the producers' ofﬁcers and dealers, I
could readily see that the dealers were not willing”

to leave it to the Commission to set the price, es- ‘

pecially tor the next few months, so I rather be-
lieve that the producers’ ofﬁcers were forced into
accepting these low prices. The Commission, or
rather a large portion or them, were strongly
against making a 13 cent price; they might have
left it as it was for two months, and then“ made
a 14 cent price with about $3.20 for milk.”

Mr. Warner tells us that  is retailing in ‘

Los Angeles at 16 cents. The producers re-
ceive $1 per pound butter fat, making 3.5
milk net $3.50. He also tells us that the pro-
ducers “own 60 per cent of the stock of one
of the medium sizes dealers,” which “he thinks
is a very good idea, for since that time they ve,

had very little trouble in , arranging prices,

both to the producer and consumer.” ,
But to return to the Detroit milk situation.
Looking back over the past three years through
the impartial eyes of theobsarver wcxcan see
little that has been accomplished. ‘ The period
was no test of the Commission’s value, be-
cause every dairy section in the country re-
ceived nearly as high, if not higher prices, as

were paid the producers in the Detroit area. ,

In the" face of the ﬁrst  that has con—
fronted the producers in over. three "years’
time. the Commission'plan :hss signally failed,
the price of milk is   of
production and the iminediato  is black
and 310.0313: indeed. With a“. little

a The inaugural Message ~

 WHO expected Mr.  ,.

deﬁne in, speciﬁc terms the position ' of
thechpublican party upon the pressing, probr 
lems of the day, were doomed to disappoint- 
meat. The inaugural message was is 
ful thing in many ways, expressing ﬁne hopd
and ideals, but as a guide to‘Republican in- .
tentions it was about as illuminating ' as - a » 7
long range weather forecast. The message ; i.

was entirely surrdunded and smothered .by - ~ _

generalities. _ Did you wish ,to ; know Mr. 

~Hard'mg’s views on. the League of Nations? 
The last place to look for them would be in" ,

his message. True, Mr. Borah exclaimed in
rapturous tones, that Harding’s memage ' »
clearly indicated an “end to theheague of 
Nations.” But how so? Mr. ’ not , 
once mentioned the League of Nations. He '
did say something about a super-government I ~
but the friends of the League of Nations, in« "
eluding William Howard Taft, have not, yet
admitted that the League of Nations is s ‘
super-government. Every, American citizen ‘
will agree with Mr. Harding that the United ’
States should not surrender its sovereignty ,
to a super-government. If you wish to know j
Mr. Harding’s views upon taxation, on Man 9
icon intervention, future control of the rail- '
roads, tariff, soldiers’ bonus, government cX- ‘
penditures, industrial disputes, and a host of ‘
other current domestic problems, look 'not in 1
his message given to the American people on ; 
March 4th, for you will not ﬁnd them. Pos- 5 f/
siny a President’s inaugural message is not ,5
intended to let the people know what the Ad- 5
ministration thinks about the needs of the Re; 3
public or how it intends to administer to those f
needs. If so, the Harding message was “one =

The New Board of Agriculture ,'

x‘ N JANUARY lst of next near the pen.

sonnel of the Michigan "State Board of .

Agriculture will be as follOWS: Jamil  -.

man, farmer; J. W. Beaumont, lawyer;
Whitney Watkins, farmers; Mrs. Dora Stock-
man, farm wife' and Grange lecturer; Mal-
colm MacPherson, farmer; J. A. Doelle, agrl-
culturist and Development Bureau manager. v
On Dec. Blst, 1919, the personnel of this same .

board was as follows: Jason Woodman, farmer; ;  

J. W. Beaumént, lawyer; W. H. Wallace, 
sugar manufacturer; I. R. Waterbury, pub- '
lisher; Robert Graham, banker; A. J. Do-
herty, merchant and resort owner. ' _
Two years. ago the policies of the Board of '
Agriculture Were extremely consorvative and  .
as a result of the reactionary tendencies of i

the majority of the Board the M. A. C. wasX

fettered and bound and rendered helpless to
‘keep pace with other progressive agricultural 9
colleges in the study and solution of farmers’ 3
economic problems. -.

the Board of Agriculture have undergone .
some radical changes during the two year per‘ 7

and won the nomination of its candidates

~At the Price of Two Eggs

At the cost Of the price of two eggs a big J ell-O dessert can be
served—and it will serve from ﬁve to twelve persons, according to
the manner in which it is prepared. - e ‘

If plain, it will serve ﬁve or six persons; if Whipped, Bavarian
cream style, ten or twelve may be served.

There are so many possibilities—so great a variety of delight-
ful dishes made Without cooking or fussing—that every farmer’s.
Wife is urged'to send her name and address in order that she
may receive (free) a copy of the Jell-O Book, which has every-
thing on the subject that any Woman could wish. Among other
things it tells how whipped Jell-O takes the place of eggs and
cream in desserts.

Jell-O is put up in six pure fruit ﬂavors: Strawberry, Rasp-
berry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate, and sold in all general
stores and groceries at 25 cents for 2 packages.

Here is some things the Bureau

Federal Farm Loan Act, procure
mortgage loans much easier than at
the bank, because the banks“ need to
keep their money at cOmmand all the
time and ought not to be asked to
loan money on farm mortgagesff

’Again. “banks ask 6 or 7 per cent

and 2 per cent commission or bonus”
and evidently. the writer of such
nonsense is not acquainted with the
fact the statutes regulate the rate
of interest and not the banks and all

blossom until the end of the growing
season. . .

Treating Plum Trees

Plum‘ trees may be attacked by the
San Jose or European fruit scale. If
found, make a spraying before the
growth starts with strong lime-sul-
phur or other efficient scale destroy-
er. the same_as directed for apple
orchards. ‘ .

Just before the buds open spray
with dilute lime-sulphur or the bor-
deaux mixture and to every 60 'gal-
lons add 2 1-2 or 3 pounds of arsen-
ate of lead paste or one-half as much
powder. This is to 'prevent the leaf
spot, brown rot, black knot, and cur-
culio. .

Immediately after the _blossoms
fall it is very essential to make a
spraying to prevent leaf diseases,
brown rot and ourculio. Use dilute
lime—sulphur or bordeau mixture.
( On Japanese varieties use only the
selﬁbolléd , lime-sulphur) . For each
50 gallons of‘whatever is used, add 2
pounds' of arsenate of lead paste or
1 .pound of the powder.

This is, an important spraying. Be
on ‘timeand be thorough.

A Ten days or two weeks later it
may pay to. ‘repeat the previous
spraying, especially if the weather is

POOL WOOL SUGGESSFULLY.

~ (Continued from page .6) 
When the bottom dropped but‘of
the wool market, and several wool
sales throughout thestate had-- to
be abandoned last year, a manu.
factoring company was interested in:
making up the wool into blankets
for farmers. This wasth the ad- .
vantage of the manufacturer,

on wool to keep his mﬂb running.
The farmers then placed their Hank-

‘ ets on the market, and in that rea-

lized more" for-their wool than they
would have by' selling - on a poor
market: - l n » ‘

Likewise the. wool‘growers in.
Maryland interested a 'm’s‘mufact’u‘r:
ing plant in their wool last-year and
had blankets madenfrom the clip; In
this way they realised for their wool
more than they would have by soil-
ing to wool buyers.

The latest and most progressive .
move made is that by western wool.-
growers’ associations who have-just
completed arrangements . whereby
some of their pooled clips are to be
made up into virgin woolen and sold
direct to farmers and othe s. The
buyer of goods has over 40 samples
to select from and may purchase the
suiting and have his local tailor
make his suit or he can have the suit
tailored by tailors employed by the
wool growers in Chicago where the
samples are on display. ' ’ . "

These instances go to show that
there is a way of marketing wool. '
Not
many wool growers can go into the
manufacturing business}. but- all can
pool their wool. If there is any mar-
ket at all for wool, a. better price for
wool can be secured by pooling.

Even if the wool has to be stored tour

wait for a market, better prices will
be secured in the long run by pools

_ 011 an Aermotor once a year and it is aways “"1
oiled. Every moving part is completely and fully
Oiled. A constant stream of oil ﬂows on every
bearing. The shafts run in oil. The double gem-emu in
oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. Friction and wear
are practically eliminated.

Any windmill which does not have the gears running in oil isonly

half Oiled. A modern windmill, like a modern automobile, must have
its gears enclosed and run in oil. Dry gears, exposed to dust, wear rapidly.
Dry bearings and dry gears cause friction and loss of power. The Aermotor
pumps in the lightest breeze because it is correctly designed and well
Oiled. To get everlasting windmill satisfaction, buy the Aermotor.

> Nothing Like “Them 
Here is a high quality asphalt shingle
that’s different—a great advance in
rooﬁng construction. It’s tapered,
thick at the butt and thin at the top
— just like the wooden shingle. Be-
cause of the taper there is a larger
surface where the shingle comes in
contact with the weather. Each
shingle ﬁts _tight—-snuggles right
down to the roof. ’We apply a special
coating to the underside which makes
Winthrop’s more adhesive. They can’t
curl or warp. L. - -'

By using these tapered shingles you
get a roof that has all the advantages
of theold fashionedcedar shingles,
plus the added advantages of being
durable, ﬂexible, beautiful and hav-
ing the ﬁre-resisting qualities of high
grade asphalt rooﬁng heavily im—
