MITI‘EE TALK MARCH 17

. J. TABERand C; V..Gregory,
members of the'Farmers' Mar-

were scheduled to appear before
Michigan county agents, the manag-
ers of 155 co-operative grain elevat-
ors of the state and others interest-
ed in the cooperative marketing of
grain at a state meeting in Lansing,
March 17th and explain the nation
grain marketing plan recently an-
nounced by the Committee of Seven-
teen.

in as many different states where
during the ten days from March 14th
to 24th the grain growers were get-
ting first hand information on the
national marketing plan and elect-
ing delegates to the national ratiﬁ-
cation meeting to be held in Chi-
cago, April 6th.

Michigan, ranking fourteenth aﬁ
grain producing state, is entitled to
three delegates. The number of del-
egates each state is entitled to has
been apportioned on th value of the
grain marketed by each annually,

The marketing plan of the Com-
mittee of Seventeen plans the link-
ing up of the individual grain grow-
er to.his local elevator and the ele-
vator to a Central Sales Association
for the disposal of all marketable
grain through a system of crop con-
tracts. A warehouse corporation
for future grain pools, a ﬁnance cor-
poration to expedite marketing, and
an export corporation for foreign
trade are parts of the proposed or-
ganization, according to the commit-
tee’s announcement. A complete
system of gathering and interpret.
i‘ng grain market news throughout
the world has been provided for.

The committee'lntends to establish
branch ofﬁces at the principal grain
centers of this country and will
handle grain on either a consign-
ment or pooling basis, turning all
sales money back to the farmer thru
his local elevator association, less
handling costs. The crop contracts
involved will be for a period of ﬁve
years. Only bonaﬂde grain grow-
ers are eligible as members of the
Central Sales Association, ’and they

determine its policies.

MOB-RULE

HE HISTORY of persecution is a hist-
ory of endeavors to cheat nature, to
make waterrnn up hill, to twist a rope

of end. It makes no difference whether the
actors be many or one, a tyrant or a mob.
‘ ‘ ‘The mob is man voluntarily descending
to the nature of the beast. * ’ *It persecutes
a principle; it would whip a right; it would
tar and feather justice. '* " ‘The martyr
cannot be dishonored. Every lash inﬂict-
ed is a tongue of manic; every burned book
or house enlightens 'the world; every sup-
pressed or expunged word reverberates
through the earth from side to side. The
minds of men are at last aroused; reason
looks out and Justtﬂes her own malice ﬁnds
all her werk in vain. It is the whipper who
is whipped and the'tyrant who is undone.—
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

During almost every stage of the epoch-
making history of this country, the independ-
ent thinker has been set upon by the mob
when he attempted to impart his opinions to
others. Elements of society not daring to have
questions of public policy openly and impar-
tially discussed, invariably resorted to repres-
sive means to silence those who sought re~
forms in state and national government. This
is not the ﬁrst time in American history by
any ' means that men have tried by peaceful
political means to bring about changes in the

government, have been called agitators 
disloyalists. Indeed, during the few years
following the birth of nearly every political
thought which has since become part of the J
law of the land, the cry of treason and dis—
loyalty was frequently raised.

This article is no defense of the principles ,
.of the Non-Partisan League. Neither is it in-
tended as a reflection upon the American Leg-
ion, that great organization of returned sol- ‘
diers which promises to have so beneﬁcial ef-
fect upon the future of the nation. But this
article is intended as an earnest remonstrance
against the high—handed methods employed by ,
members of the American Legion acting indi-
vidually in Kansas, to substitute mob rule for '
peaceful discussion and legal procedure.

It has been a favorite defense of those who
are opposed to the extension of the Non-Par- =
tisan League program, to stigmatize the ‘
farmers composing its membership with the '
brand of pro-Germanism, I. W. W. Ism and .
anti-Americanism. Investigation seems to show ’
that in isolated cases these charges are true .
but it is highly ridiculous to claim that the ’
rank and ﬁle of the several hundred thousand
land owning farmers who.are members of the l
Non-Partisan League in several western states, ‘
are not true American citizens. In the con- ;
sideration of the Non—Partisan League ques- ‘
tion common honesty demands that our opin- 3
ions shall be formed and our verdict ren-
dered according to the aspirations and actions ‘
of the majority instead of the minority. But
the unscrupulous propagandists who have ;
been hired to bring the Non-Partisan League 3
into disrepute, and possibly destroy it alto- x
gather, have more or less successfully con- .
vinced the people of the eastern states that .
the rural populations of North Dakota, Minne- ‘
sota, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska are ready to

Contract'by Beet Growers’ Ass’n Based .on Price of Sugar for Year

HE MICHIGAN Sugar Beet Growers’

v Association is getting down to business
and its campaign foi- the 1921 season is well
advanced. The association has not left it with
the manufacturers as in times past to project

_ ~a contract into the ﬁeld, but has taken the in-

itiative, and written up a contract which it is
circulaﬁng among the sugar beet growers of

' the state. The contract bears upon the face of

it the notation, “Approved by the Michigan

‘Sugar Beet Growers’- Ass’n,” which is as-
surance to the grower who is asked to sign the
contract that it is backed by the force of the
united sugar beet growers of the state. The
contract also has the approval of the State
‘Farm Bureau. ‘ '

The work of distributing the contracts is
being carried on by the local'organizations of
the Sugar Beet Growers’ Association.‘ The dif-
ference~of opinion which existed last year and

were largely responsible. for the failure of the

state association to put through its program,
have been largely done away With as a‘ result

of the unremunerative prices in “prospect for a.

nowledged by producers and manufacturers
alike that the immediate future of sugar prices
is most uncertain and, that the chances for
lower prices are, quite as favorable as those
for higher prices. In writing this contract
for the, 1921 season the Michigan Sugar Beet
Growers’ Association has taken these facts in-
to consideration. The contract takes cogniz-
ance of the fact that sugar may go even as low

as ﬁve cents per pound. wholesale and to pro?

vide against such a drop has made its mini-

mum price per ton of beets at $6.45, which .

would be paid to the grower in the event of
ﬁve cent sugar.

' Some complaint has been voiced by men in-
terested in the sugar factories that the farmers
should not ask for an even division of the
proﬁts unless they are willing to bear an even
division of the losses. However, it is reasonably
certain, judging from an examination of the
reports that have been made in the past few
years upon the proﬁts of the sugar companies,
that the companies can afford to pay as much
as $6.45 per ton for beets with sugar at ﬁve
cepts.

  r‘a’ co’ act sine cent sugar

In agreeing to accept as low as $6.45 ,

would mean $11.61 for beets which is slightly ;
less. than the guaranteed minimum asked by
the growers last year. There are other feat-
ures of the new contract however which more 7
than compensate for this apparent confession '
to the manufacturer. For instance, the price
to be paid for beets is to be based upon the .
average price for sugar during an entire year
instead of for a period of four months as in '
the past. Inasmuch as advances in sugar _
prices are more likely to take place during the '
summer season when a great deal of ice
cream is eaten and canning is done, this pro— ‘
vision should be to the growers’ advantage.
The new contract authorizes the company ’
upon the consent of the grower to deduct ~
from payment of beets ﬁve cents per ton, to
be turned over to the . Michigan Sugar Beet
Growers’ Association and expended in . the
furtherance of the organization.
' Present conditions are most favorable for
the success of the program adopted by the .
state ’association .for the current year. The
men who have millions of dollars invested in
sugar beet factories are most desirous of re- '
taining the good will of the farmers at this "
particular time. There never was a better!

Variety of Seed to Plant to Get Big Yield Of Good" Quality Oats

M. A. C. Specialist Tells of Improved Varieties of Oats Developed by College and Where Grown Best

“ HAT IS THE most important point
in oat production?” “Big yields of
good quality oats” is usually the answer to
such a question. “Yes, to be sure, but how
are you going to get them?” Here is where
the difference of opinions arise. Some say
grow plenty of clover and you will get good
oat yields; some maintain that it is a case of
fall plowing; others that acid phosphate or
spring discing are the keys for successful oat
production. Ask any group of oat growers
how to get big yields and all of the above
answers and many more will be forthcoming.
Perhaps it will be impossible to have any un-
animity of opinion on these points but they are-
all quite certain to agree that good, clean,
healthy, adapted, high-yielding seed is the
foundation to successful oat‘ production.

ly study these important factors in order that
the oat varieties developed would be adapted

.to the conditions under which they are to be

grown. V

Seed adaption is a most important factor
in successful crop production. This is just as
true with oats as it is with alfalfa or any oth-
er ﬁeld crop. We have learned that neither
the late maturing nor the so-called 60-day
oats, are successful in Michigan with a pos-
sible exception of a comparatively few locali—
ties. While a medium maturing oat is best
adapted to thegreater portion, of this state,
Professor Spragg’s experiments have brought
out the point that for certain soils an early
medium-maturing oat has a distinct advan-
tage under many'conditions- ‘
, Strength of straw is another characteristic
to be considered. In this respect there is. a

well in mind with the result that farmersof

tend to resist lodging. ' ~

In. the development of Improved Oat.Va-‘

rieties the plant breeder must also consider
disease problems and endeavor to develope
varieties that are resistant to rust, etc.
Shattering is another point of inportance.
Plumpness of Kernels -

Most of us in looking at a sample of oats, .
are often struck by the plumpness of the ker-‘

nels as an indication of their feeding value.

We should carry outinvestigations further to 

determine whether the plumpness is due to

thickness of hull or to a large well developed.
Often plump. oats such as the '

endosperm.

:  YEARS AGO-the San Jose Scale
 , I threatened the very existence of a‘ cer-

tain, fruit district near-.Grand Junction, Col-V
 condo. Th’e Scale'is a parasitic germ or louse

. ,Which ﬁg a parentbores into trees and the.

,‘ fruit itself; and though not conﬁned" to fruit
trees alone, it ﬁnds a very satisfactory home
in 1 them. l When ‘it has located, has bored in
andhas brought forth its young, its work is

done and it dies; but the offspring-move about '

to ﬁnd proper locations in which to repeat
themselves and are assisted in so doing by be—
ing taken up on the feet of birds, or mother
common ways moved from tree” to tree. [So
the, pestspreads. Whatever the agent, the
_tr'ansportation is so effectively accomplished
and so deadly is the pest, that, left to itself,
anorchard will be affected'throughout and by
the sapping 'of the tree's caused by the un-
checked family of Scale, will die in three
years.- _ >
When a -»man’s trees touch his neighbor’s
trees over the line fence, or harber thesame
birds, a germ pest becomes a community prob-
lem. It sometimes happens that, a man will
be ﬁnancially so Situated that because of .the.
expense of spraying materials he will let his
orchard “go,” that is, let the pests have it as
long as it will live under the conditions and
then grub it' out. In the meantime his one
‘z‘f'pest-ridden orchard has contaminated- a large
surrounding area in spite of :thebest eﬂ’orts
of his neighbors to keep it down. The prob-
‘lem then was in this case to. compel every
grower to retain his orchard and to keep it
clean for the sake of the prosPerity of the in-
dividual and to preserve the commercial im-
portance of the district. ‘ ' g, V
-'A group of growers representing ,a small
.. block in this area, organized what they term-
ed a “pest district,” ,with the "avowed pur-
poise of enforcing the extinction of the pest
' within its borders. Growers on all sides ap-
plied for membership, thus enlarging it to an—

area: four miles in width and ten miles in ‘

le.ngth,.with every man in it pledged
community rules. .

With an original assessment of $15.00 per
member, a building was erected on one

the ﬁrst year and eighteen cents last year
was a Saving of seventy percent over the
price of the commercially manufactured pro-
duct, making it available to all. The plant
has two boiling vats with a combined capac-
ity of 600 gallons. A twelve horse-power
boiler for supplying heat by steam to the vats
stands in the rear. For emergencies a fur—
nace was built under one of the vats. A stor-
age tank is constructed near with pipe con-
nections in which a. supply of the spray sol-

ution is during the season kept in reserve.

There are many formulas given out by the
various‘ bureaus and experiment stations.
There are also prepared solutions which can
be bought, but these are of a priCe prohibitive

to the poor grower around whom the whole
problem revolves. This formula for the mak-
ing of lime-sulphur spray was chosen by the
organization after study and experimentation
with various formulas and bulletins on the

subject of San Jose Scale, and is the formula

given in the bulletin of the Washington Ex-.
periment StatiOn at Pullman, Washington, by-
A. L. Lelander, Entomologist: 1 lb. sulphur
flour; 1-2 1b. lime; 1-2 gal. water. In ac-
cordance with this formula in the hands of a
man selected, for the most part, but under-
stood by all the users of it, the solutions are
mixed accurately according to weights and
measurements, and boiled in the vats from
45 minutes to one hour.

This solution is given the Beaume hydome-
ter test of 3 degrees. \Vhen it registers more
it is reduced, thus making in the long run an
economic saving of some moment which in the
case of individual mixing on a small scale is
sometimes overlooked.

This dormant spray is applied just before
the buds open, but even after the spraying
season for this particular pest, the organiza-
tion holds together, meeting regularly to dis-
cuss matters of community interest.

The success of this community plan in ex—
terminating aoserious pest is indicated in
three ways; from the standpoints of economy,
of popularity, and of efﬁciency.

From the standpoint of economy,——after
charging thirty—ﬁve cents a gallon less than
the price of the commercially prepared ar—
ticle, at the end of the ﬁrst season the receipts
were sufficient to pay back to each man his
original $15.00, pay for the plant, all the ma—
terials used, and show a balance on hand of
$39.50.

Popular? Several units were subsequently
formed throughout the valley using this one
as a pattern. And efﬁcient? As an effective
method of eradicating a pest, the community
plan has been a complete success. For in this
pest district, an area covering forty square
miles of fruit land, the pests have been
brought under absolute control,——an accomp-
lishment acknowledged to have been impossi-
ble through, individual efforts.

As an undertaking from every standpoint,
it has shown more gratifying results than the
originators themselves anticipated, and they
were not pessimists, either!

Experienceof Central. Michigan Farmer With Sunflowers for Silage

' Saginaw CountyTarmer Says Sunflowers Not as Good as Com but will Mature in Sections Too Cold for Corn

FIND THERE is at present a very wide
interest in the possibilities of sunflowers
" " for silage. I submit the following conclus-
ions drawn after using sunflowers for silage
, for two years in Central Michigan. ,
on land that is ﬁtted for a good crop of
corn the Russian Sunflower will far routyield
v corn in tonnage. If cut at the right time, it
is a highly succulent feed and because of mois-
ture and consequentlweight it is less liable to
mold. The silage has 'a rather strong odor,
not at all pleasingto some people, but it is
. not oﬂensive to stock. ._ As to ‘palatibility,

there was no trouble in getting thestOck to,

Now, what is the proper place of the sun-
flov’ver in our crop plans for the coming
spring? I do not thing that it should sup-
plant corn, Where corn is a practically cer-
tain crop. No never! Corn has proven its—
self to be the best single feed plant we have
to date and as ensilage it is at its best. But
the sunflower can be very useful and not
crowd at all. It has its place as a supplement
to corn. 'It is to slip in beside of corn; to
take a more humble position. What shall
that be? Large areas rich in pasture have

If anybody is constrained to plant large

to get tonnage don’t do it. Plant sunflowers.
In 'tonna-ge and also in quality they will make
silage superior to corn stover. Only prime,
well cared corn will equal or surpass the sun-
flower for silage. ~

Do not plant them in corn. There they
only supplant the corn. We cannot get a
big sunflower and yield of corn in the same
spot. And you might be tempted to curse at
harvest time as they do not harvest well to-
gether. They would not be ﬁt at the same
time. _

We sow sunflowers, the last acrop about
June 1, drilling them in rows the same dis-
tance apart as our porn, 40 inches. If the
rows are closer it will shut out sunlight so

the leaves. They are of great value.~ - The

1 partment shall be appointed by the Governor with

ate a State Department of Agriculture
to take over the duties of some eight or nine

’1 boards, ofﬁcers and commissions of an agri-
cultural or semi-agricultural nature has been

.passed by the 10Wer house of the legislature .

"and is now in the hands of the senate.

The bill is worthy of special study not only
(because it aims to consolidate, simplify and
broaden the state activities in relation to ag: :-
culture, but because it is really the ﬁrst of-
‘ﬁcial recognition that has been given 'to‘the
state ’s largest single industry.

_ .Aside from the censolidation features of,
i ’the bill the two most important previsions

, are the ones authorizing the state to take over
gand 'conduct the institution known as the

g :Michigan State Fair, and to use the facilit-
_ r :ies-of the institution as a public market where
_ idirect trading can be carried on between pro-

ducer and consumer.

The bill proposes to abolish the Department
of Animal Industry; the State Food and
Drug Commissioner; the State Veterinary
Board, the Imigration Commission, the Com-
.missioner of Imigration, the Board ofGeolo-
gical Survey, the State Inspector of Orchards
and Nurseries, the Inspector of Apiaries, and
the Agricultural Statistics Division ' of the
;Secrctarv of State’s ofﬁce, and would trans-
fer the duties of these abolished offices to the
new Department of Agriculture.

In the execution of the duties of the sever-
al Departments described above, a large and

' expensive force of men are employed. It. is

7 an open question as to how much the consol-

idaﬁon of these boards under the direct con-
trol of the Commissioner of Agriculture
would decrease the cost of administering these
duties, but the authors and sponsors of the
bill do not hesitate in claiming that a num-
ber of these employees can be eliminated and
the work of the rest made more efﬁcient. U n-
less this is to be the outcome, this new depart-
ment will have little excuse for existence.

Provisions of the Bill

Section One of the bill provides:
“There is hereby created a State Department of

, ; Agriculture which shall possess the powers ahd

perform the duties hereinafter granted and con-
"l‘he chief executive ofﬁcer of said de-

the advice and consent of the senate, and shall be
known as the Commissioner of Agriculture of the
State of Michigan. Said Commissioner shall re~
ceive an annual salary of (undetermined) dol-
lars. He may appoint such assistants and em-
ployees as may be necessary to perform the dut-

ies hereby imposed, the number of such assists

ants and employees and the compensation pay-

 able to all persons so appointed and employed,

being subject to the approval of the State Ad-
‘ ministrative Board.”

A provision relating to a closer supervis-
ion of the agricultural affairs by the state
and the taking over of the Michigan State
Fair is as follows: . '7 .

“The control of all lands and other proper-
ty that now is, or hereafter may be, vested'ln

. the State of Michigan, or in the people of said

state, for the purpose of holding and conduct-
ing agricultural and indus-

. trial fairs, and for other ag- -

rangement-for such fairs and the actual conduct-
ing thereor shall be under the immediate charge
of a Board of Managers of State Fairs which

board shall consist of twenty members to be ap-

pointed by the Governor on the recommendation
of the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Com-
missioner of Agriculture shall act as chairman of
said board. Said Board of Managers may adopt
rules and regulations governing its organization
and procedure. The proceeds ofthe state fair,
and all other moneys which come into the pos-
session ot the Department of Agriculture under
the provisions of this section, shall be and re-
main a perpetual revolving fund out of which
necessary and proper expenses for the conducting
of said fair shall be paid. Each member of the

' board 'of managers, other than the Commission-

er of Agriculture, shall be entitled to ten dollars
per day for each day actually expended by him
in attending meetings of the Board of Managers
or for work actually performed in connection with
said fair; and the members of the board shall
also be entitled to their actual and necessary ex:-
penses while incurred in carrying out the provi-
sions hereof, such compensation and expenses to
be paid from the revolving fund hereby created.
Whenever in the opinion of the State Adminis~
trative Board the moneys in such fund exceed the
amount reasonably required for the purposes
hereof the surplus shall, on order of said board,
he transferred to the general fund of the state.
Said board shall also possess the powers and dut-
ies now vested by law in the Michigan Agricul-
tural Fair Commission, which is hereby abolish-
ed; and'shall before the ﬁrst of December of each
year make full and detailed'report to the Gov-
ernor of all its activities, receipts and disburse
ments."

The inclusion 'of the above provision bade
fair to precipitate a ﬁght upon the entire
measure. A good many representatives, in-
cluding some from rural districts, shrink
with abhorrence from anything that smacks
of state control. But surely agricultural fairs
which receive grants. of money. from the state,
are as legitimate institutions for state owner-
ship and control as the charitable institutions
of the state, schools, highways, etc. Since the
Michigan State Fair is conducted in the name
of the agriculture and industry of the state,
and receives the money from the state tb help
defray its expenses, the state certainly ought
to have the right to say how these moneys
shall be expended and how the fair shall be
conducted. In the past the state of Michigan
has had nothing to say concerning the poli-
cies of the Michigan State Fair or any of the
other fairs of the state to which money has
been contributed out of the state treasury.
Under the above described bill the state will
have direct control over the policies of the
state fair, and those who attend the exposi-
tion may well feel that it is their own.

It was perfectly natural that Mr. George
W. Dickinson who has managed the fair so

good reason, that the reversion of the fair to

ancial Successes under private management,‘ *
immediately began to show a deﬁcit When the]
state had taken it over. On the other hand,.l

the legislature upon investigation found that
many state fairs, which were but indifferent
successes under private control became. imme-'
diately popular and successful institutions
under the guidance of the state.

So far as the Business Farmer is concern-
ed, it can only repeat what has already been
said editorially upon the subject. The sue»
cess of any business or any institution de-
pends almost entirely upon the ability of the.
management.- All other things being equal,
an institution encouraged and fostered by the
state should be more closely representative of
the interests and wishes of the peeple of the
state—and consequently more satisfactory to

them, than under private control, which puts '

proﬁt above service. Under inefﬁcient man-
agement the Michigan State Fair can easily
and quickly deteriorate into mediocrity. But
under the continued capable leadership of.

Mr. .Geo. W. Dickinson there is no reason why '
the Michigan State Fair should not” continue ..

on its meteoric flight toward perfection in
the agricultural exposition ﬁeld. It is prob-"
able that Mr. Dickinson’s opposition to the
wishes .of Governor Groesbeck may jeopardize

if it has not already destroyed his chances of -

being continued as the manager of the fair.
However, we do not believe this should be the
case. Mr. Dickinson has told us that his op-
position to state control has not been one of
personal interest but rather a result of his de-
sire to see‘ the state fair maintain its present
leadership, free from political juggling, We
shall take Mr. Dickinson’s ‘word for this;

VWhatever his motives. may be, the fact re-

mains that he has demonstrated his ability as

an executive. He knows the agricultural ex- ‘

position game from A to Z and we do not be-
lieve there is a man in Michigan better qual-
iﬁed to conduct the state fair under state con-
trol. We commend to Governor Groesbeck
the retention of Geo. W. Dickinson as man-
ager of the Michigan State Fair,‘ believing.
that the future success of the exposition will-
be virtually assured under his guiding hand.

. (DIDVER FOR SANDY SOIL

Would like to have some particulars
about Crimson and Giant Incarnate
clover,_ also details about Japanese clov-
er. Which of these is best for a sandy
worn out soil? How should soil be pre-
pared? Is it best: with a nurse crop
 and will it make hay the same year?—

: “P. K, Big Rapids, Michigan.

 
Crimson clover is not well adapted
to Michigan conditions. It is a val-
uable crop in New Jersey, Deleware
and Carolina and is grown as a wint-
«er annual, that is, sown in August
and is harvested the following sum-

.-mer.‘ When sown during August in
Michigan it usually winter kills very

‘ badly and when so‘wn during the

‘ spring, only a meagre growth is se-

 - ' cured.

" ' Japanese clover or Lespedeza re.
quires considerable heat and does not
begin to grow until warm weather.
It is also very sensitive to frost. It
is only in the lower Mississippi val—
ley that Lespedeza grows large
enough to cut for hay. We would

-not recommend this crop for Mich-

Michigan,

There are two kinds of roads, pub-

be on the town line a public highway
can only be established by a petition
of seven ireeholders of each town-
ship by the joint action of the com-
missioners of highway of each town-
ship, as provided in C. L. 1915, See.
4288. Such a road when established
is to be maintained by the public.
For a private road you will make ap-
plication to the commissioner of
highways who will give notice to the
owner to appear at a certain time to
assist in striking a jury, as provided

extremely quiet and unsatisfact-

ory from an industrial and business
standpoint. There are many signs
of improvement, in connection with
business and manufacturing and
there are those who fancy they see

TEE SECOND week in February,

an early return to complete normal- ‘

cy. ‘It cannot be denied, however,
that something important is missing
from the formula that insures an
even flow of commodities through
the great American channels at
trade. ~

A greatly increased activity is
noted, in connection with the manu-
facture and sale of both cotton and
woolen goods. One of the greatest
surprises of the season came during
the week in the form of an an-
nouncement of a sweeping reduction
in the selling value of what is known
as “napped” cotton cloth; the reduc.
tion in selling prices for this grade
of cloth equals nearly 66 2-3 per cent
of last year’s price. Owing to the
extremely low prices for which near-
ly all cloth is oﬂ'ered at this time it
is believed that a marked revival, in
connection with the “ready-made”
garment industry, will soon be not,
ed in all parts of the country.

The leading question of the hour,
in industrial and transportation cin
cles, is the wage scale and the length
of the work day. The packinghouse
combination, known as the Big 5,
has just announced a big cut in
wages and a practical return to the
ten—hour day, a move which will be
strenuously resisted and threatens to
result in a far-reaching packinghouse
strike. During the month of Feb-
ruary, one railroad after another

‘ reduced wages, the reductions in-

cluding all of the ofﬁcials of the
road as well as the common laborers.
Theye seems to be a determination,
on the part of all classes of manu-

"facturers, to materially reduce _the

labor charge in connection with pro-
duction costs.

The situation, in connection with
the farming classes of the country,
seems to be improving, rapidly, of
late and good judges of agricultural

‘ conditions predict that the spring

season will not be many weeks old

. until the American farmer will be

functioning with the same efﬁciency
that characterized his work during
the war period. A marked reduc-

' tion in the cost of farm labor, the

country over, is now certain, ' the
number of men looking for farm
work having greatly increased, since
last spring; would-be farm labor-
ers have greatly reduced the value
which they place on their labor. A
western live stock journal reports,
that an advertisement for the servic-
es of two married men to work on a

' . farm, brought 257 replies; many Of

the applicants oﬂ’ered ﬁrstrclass bank

The general trend of the wheat
markets throughout the country last
week was downward. This was due
to lack of interest in the market,
heavy selling by houses with large
holdings, slow export demand, and
the government report. The govern-
ment reports 207,501,000 bushels in
the farmers’ hands on March lst, as
against 164,620,000 bushels last
year, or 26.4 per cent of the 1920
crop yet on the farms. The percent-
age of wheat on Michigan farms is
estimated at 28, the highest since
1916, and amounts to 3,997,000
bushels. The estimate given out by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
coming at the time it did, when ﬂu-
ancial conditions were very unsat-
isfactory. caused extensive liquida-
tion. Chicago received 288 cars,
against 199 the week before. Mill—
ers appear to be marking time as
there is very little demand reported
from that quarter. The Detroit
market closed last week quiet with
a 2 cent loss on Saturday making a
total drop of 9 cents for the week.
Monday .of the current week found
wheat higher at the opening owing
to reported buying by the British
commission, but was lower again at
the close. If this report of export
buying should be true the .markets
may take several advances as there
are many bulls who will load up if
prospects are good.

months. By that time more can be
told as to the prospect of the 1921
crop. In the Michigan crop report
it is assumed that 34 per cent of
last year’s crop went into silos last
\fall and the amount of the remaining
66 per cent of the crop harvested for
grain that is still on the farms is
estimated at 15,444,000" bushels.
This, according to the report, repre-
sents 36 per cent o’flthe crop and

is the highest percentage, excepting ‘

1913, in 18 years. What corn that
is sold off farms in Michigan has lit-
tle effect on market prices as few
counties raise mare than they con-
sume, and it is estimated only 6 per
cent is shipped out of the county in
which it is grown.

The out markets are a very quiet
aﬂair. This grain f-ollowed others
to lower levels last week and the
markets were noted for their life-
lessness. Farm supplies were shown
by the government report to be 689,-
566,000 bushels against418,983,000
bushels a. year ago. This report
shows there is over 45 per cent of
the 1920 crop held by the farmers.
Michigan farms hold 48 per cent of
the Michigan yield for 1920. East-
ern demand continues lacking and

domestic requirements ,are‘ easily
ﬁlled.

Corn prices last week were also
lower but the market ‘was not as
weak as wheat. Dealers believe that
wheat prices are too high while corn
should not go much lower. The sup-
ply of corn yet on farms, estimated
by the government to be 48.6 per
cent of the 1920 crop or 1,572,397,-
000 bushels against 1,070,077,000
bushels was larger than was expect-
ed and markets weakened with vi-
sions of large supplies. Receipts at
Chicago were good, the total car: be-
ing 2.7” against 3,028 the wesk’be-
fore and 889 a. year ago. Elevators
took most of the cars received. Ship-
ping sales for thelperiod were our
2. million bushels, mostly for export.
It was rumored Germany purchased
around 2 million bushels last week.
The latter part of the week saw re-
ceipts from the country falling off.

Detrolt

.Despite recent declines in the
Michigan bean market the trade in
general continues to express conﬁ-
dence in higher prices before an-
other crop. Then, indeed, the stu-
dent of this market ﬁnds it hard to
account for the weakness and the oc-
caSionaI slumps, the inclination be-
ing to lay the blame at the door of
conscienciousless manipulators. An
incident took place recently in this
state which may be taken as an in-
dication of a belief on the part of
the jobbers in a. better market later
on. Herbert Hoover had been in-
duced to make a. bid for 720 tons of
Michigan beans at 34.20 per cwt. f.
o. b. shipboard, for shipment to cent-
ral Europe. This would not to the
Michigan been dealer slightly less

than the prevailing market, but in"

view of the fact that it would relieve
the market of about 39 cars I of
beans, it was expected that the iob-

bsrs would accept  preposition.'-'-

Afterra. long period of weakness.
potatoes strengthened for two
or three weeks and prices- were high-
er on many markets but last week
saw the old weakness appear again
and lower prices are noted atseveﬂil
places. The Detroit market has
gone back to the level it held several
weeks ago and the market is steady ;:
for at least 10 days before the be-
ginning of last week the market was
ﬁrm. Estimates on the probable po-
tato shipment from Michigan from
March lst until the end of the season
vary from 3,000 to 7,000 cars. The
movement is expected to depend
upon market price and demand rath-
er than upon limitation of supply.
Owing to the high freight rates cr-
ders from certain market territory,
where Michigan formerly held a
slight advantage, have gone to oth-
er states.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

The past week in live stock mar-
kets has been a. period of ﬁrming
values, for all "kinds of live stock
and in nearly all markets. Receipts»
have been only fair all along the
line, the reason assigned being bad
roads in the country districts and
farmers getting busy with spring
work. Prices for all kinds of ‘fresh
meat have kept step with the ad-
vance in live stock values, the in.-
crease in packinghouse quotations 10
the trade ranging from $3 to $7 per,

cwt. over the scale which ruled at, ~

the beginning of the month. 
Last week’s opening trade in the
cattle division of the Chicago stock

yards was justabout steady with the' .

week before and the week's business
was carried through on just about
the same level as that of the week
before, except that a few of the

lighter weights, in the steer division, A

were a trifle higher and some of the .

plain, heavy kinds a. trifle lower.  " '

The top for the week in mature
steers was 310.7511“ for yearling
steers $10.55. The demand tor
butchers cattle was active in Chicago
all last week and the trade closed
with an encouraging outlook for. the.
remainder of the mouth. .Stockem ,

. week bein'g 30,000 less than the
KIWeek before: shippers took about
1,000 more hogs than during the

week before making the net loss to
' the Chicago trade, 31,000 less than»
week before last which was also
Icalled a very light week. Prices
held up well all the- week, light
weights taking the lead, early but
' a substantial gain in heavy hog pricv
es showing on Saturday; the an-
nouncement. that Great- Britain had
removed restrictions on the importa—
tion of lard and that government

I (Continued from page 9)

so that those who desire to take ad- '
offered

vantages of the bargains
would not have to go to too great an
expense and trouble to reach the
market. In locating a public mar-
ket on the state fair grounds we pre-
sume that the poor people of De-
troit will be encouraged to come out
fresh cuts of pork sharply higher,
the gain in one week on loins, rang-
ing from $5 to $7 per cwt., accord-
' ing to weight; light loins selling
from $1 to $2 higher than the kind
that weigh 16 pounds and over. Pic-
nic hams have gained from $2 to $5
per cwt. since March 7. The spec-

“ ulative-provision market has been a

disappointment to the bulls ’in pro-

visions. May lard declining from
the. recent high point which was
$12.50 more than $1 per cwt. and

. May mess pork slipping off $1.50.
The break in provisions was helped
along by the weakness in wheat and
corn. w The writer is of the opinion
that hogs are about high enough for
-the present. -

To Control Land Sharks

Section ﬁve of the bill is a very
important provision._ It reads as
follows: - ' s

“It, shall be .the duty of the De-
partment of AgriCulture. to foster
and promote in every posSible way
the agricultural interests of the
State 'of Michigan; to c-o—operate
with agricultural agencies in the
different counties of the state and or
the federal government; and to pre-
vent, and assist in preventing, by all
available means authorized by law.
the sale of unimproved lands and
lands not suitable for agricultural
development within the state by
fraud, misrepresentation or deceit
and the publication of false or mis-
leading statements Or advertising
matter designed to effect such sales.
Immediately prior to the opening of

each regular session of the legisla- .

ture the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture shall prepare and submit to the
governor and legislature his report
covering all of the activities of his

department for the preceding bienn

nial period. Such report shall be
printed by the Board of State And-
itors and shall be distributed to
such persons, organizations and pub-
lic officials as the State Administra—
tive Board may direct.

“This act, other than sections one
and four, shall be in force and effect
on and after the ﬁrst day of July,
1921. All acts and parts of acts in
any way eontravening the provisions
of this act shall be deemed to be su-
perseded and repealed as of said
date.

“This act is hereby declared to be
immediately necessary for the pres-
ervation of the public peace, health
and safety.”

Only the thousands of
who have bought worthless land
from unscrupulous land sharks will-
appreciate the beneﬁt of this provi-
sion if it is effectively carried out.
Literally hundreds of thousands of
acres of sand land have been sold as
good agricultural land to unsuspect—
ing people from other states. Allur-
ed by fancy advertisements and tales
of the. wonderful productivity of
these lands, many men having
dreamed of an independent future
upon a farm, have invested the sav—
ings of a life time in land which
they found too late upon investiga—
tion to be absolutely worthless

farmers

There has never been proper legis— '

lation, in this state to protect these
people from land sharks. Excepting
for the several million acres of sand
land which have been withdrawn
from the homestead entry, and are
owped by the state, all other land
of the state both good and bad, can
be sold at any price and under any
kind of misrepresentation, Without
let or hindrance from the state. The
agricultural bill proposes to do away
with this. If it can do so, it will
save thousands of people in the fu-
ture from investing their all in
worthless lands. and will be a. God-
send to the really fertile lands of
the northern section of the state
which suifer immeasurably because
of the evil reputation of the sandy
acres which lie neighbor to them,
As pointed out at the begining
of this article the creation or this
state department of agriculture is
an important recognition of the
farming industry. The provisions of
the bill are broad enough to permit.

forty acre tract which is cut off from

NON-PROPERTY OWNER TOWN-
SHIP CLERK

I Would like to know a little about
the law_ Has a man who is not a free-
holder or taxpayer a right to hold the
ofﬁce as township clerk and has he the
right to vote on the opening of roads
through the center of section for a
man who has land in the center of sec-
tion and who has already a. road out one
way? Can they force it on through the

 
M. A., Isabella County, Michigan.

A township clerk does not have to
be a freeholder nor a taxpayer. He
may vote on any question that comes
before the town board unl ss he is
interested in the result. As he high.
ways through a. section are not estab-
lished by the town board but by the
commissioner of highways, he could
not vote upon that unless it was ap-
pealed from the commissioner. In
such a case he would have a right to
vote. An interested party may ap-
peal from the decision ofthe town
board to the circuit court. No appeal
lies to thetown board from the re-
fusal of the highway commissioner
to establish a highway upon the
proper petition. The fact that a man
in the center of a section has a road
out in another direction is no bar to
the establishment of a public road
clear through the section. Public
roads are for the public as well as for
one who lies in the section. Private
roads are governed by another sec-
tion but there is no appeal to the
town board and. consequently .no
chance for the clerk to take any ac-
tion therein. Private roads can only
be eS'tablis-hed Where the person has
no other outlets—W. E. Brown, legal
editor. ' '

EXTRA M AND TIRE STOLEN,

I bought an automobile last May of a.
company and had it insured in the U.
S. M.» A, 1. Company for the full
$1,125. and Saturday night before Hal-
loween had extra rim and tire stolen off
it while it was standing in the barn. I
wrote the company Monday following
and notified the sheriff at Caro. The
secretary answered my letter saying

that my policy did not cover extra tire _

and rim’ which were on the car when I
bought it. Now this is what is said in
my insurance. policy: “The ‘ company
agrees to indemnify the assured against
loss or damage to the automobile, its
body, machinery or equipment caused
by theft, robbery or pilferage by any
person or ersons other than those em-
ployed by e assured or in the assur-
ed’s service ‘or household but not to ex-
ceed one thousand ($1,000) dollars, but
before the assured shall recover for such
loss or damage the assured shall immed-
iately upon learning thereof, give the
secretary of the company written notice
thereof and notify the nearest sheriff or
chief of police, If the automobile, its
body, machinery or equipment- so stolen,
be found or recovered 'within thirty days
after the theft, robbery or pilferage
thereof, the company will adjust the

damage or cost of repairing thereof at v

the cash value. If the automobile, its
body, machinery or equipment, so stol-
en be not found within thirty days the
company will adjust the same at its
cash value at the time of the theft, and
if the automobile, its body, machinery

or equipment he afterwards found the .

same will and shall be the property of
the company; provided, however, that
the assured may return to the comany
the amount received and take in J‘eturn
the automombile or its parts so found, No
recovery for theft shall be had 4 under
this policy where the automobile, un-
locked is parked in city of over 30,000
inhabitants." I would like to know what
you think about lt_and whether I am to
have any insurance or not?—0. E, B.,
Akron, Michigan. ‘ -

I am of the opinion that the extra
tire and rim are a part of the equip-
ment of a car and that you are en-
titled to recovery under your policy.

PAINTING OIL STOVE

The paint is coming off of .my oil
stove 'and I want to know .if common
paint would be satisfactory to use in
painting it over.——-Mrs. 8,, Grant,
Michigan, ‘ .

 
Common paint would probably not
work satisfactory where it is sub-
jected to a great deal of Work. If
black paint will be satisfactory it is
suggested that a small can of boiler
paint or stove pipe paint be secured.
The base of this paint is asphaltum
and is not affected by a reasonable
amount of heat. I think it can be
had only in black, however, and
would suggest that thiscolor be used
if 4 possible. This paint is not ex-
pensive and I think can be secured
at practically any hardware or paint
storer—H. H. Musselmam, Prof. Of

on that subject whenever it should

which the people, were opposed. In
fo'ther words the people had voted

The Bonus Bogey

ROM THE DAY the American Legion an-

nounced that it would expect Congress to
pass a soldier bonus law, the members of that
august body have been writhing in hot water
so to speak. For the sake of political exped‘
iency Republican candidates made it. known
prior to last fall’s election tliat they were in
favor of the soldiers’ bonus, and the soldier
vote was not a little responsible for the sweep-
ing majorities given to these candidates. But

now that the ,Democrats have‘been unseated .

and the responsibility for adopting the neces-
sary legislation falls squarely upon the Re
publican administration, there are a good
many legislators who. would like to renig on
their promise and forget the soldier bonus
Being already confounded as to how to meet
the ordinary demands of the ’ g0vernment
members of Congress are all but paralyzed by
the thought of raising an additional two or
three billion to pay the soldier boys. It is a
question which they fear the~most, the wrath
of the soldier boys or the wrath of the rank
and ﬁle of citizens. Unfortunately for mem.
bers of Congress they do not have recourse to
the easy shifting of responsibility by submit-
ting the matter to a vote of the people as has
been done in a number of states and as is pro-
' posed here in Michigan. The state legislator
is a lucky guy compared to the congressman,
for all he has to do is to pass the buck to the
voters. ’l‘hcn whether or not the issue car
rics at the polls his skirts are clear. .

The payment of a bonus to returned sol-
. dicrs is not a matter for the states. The war
through which we have recently passed was
not Michigan’s war, nor Ohio’s, nor Wiscon-
sin’s. It was a war declared and waged by
the United States. The cost of the war should
be paid out of the national treasury and not
out of the several state treasuries. One may
argue that there is no difference since the
people pay the cost anyway, but'a little study
will show that there is a vast diﬁerence. If
Michigan adapts the proposed bonding
amendment, the amount will have to be spread
upon the tax rolls and the landpwning farm-
ers will pay a large portion of the bonus. If,
however, Michigan and the other states force
the federal government to shOuldez' the re-
sponsibility, a large number of ways will be
opened for the payment of the debt, and the
 proportion which will (be passodon to the av-
V erage taxpayer will be optional with congress.

Fight For the Income Tax-

._ HE MOST important piece of legislation

so far as the farmers are concerned, that

has been proposed in the State Legislature in

recent years, is the state income tax. A bill

to submit a, constitutional amendment to pro-

vide for such a tax has been introduced by

Representative Frank R. Mosier, of Allegan
county. v

The bill has the backing of nearly‘every ag‘
ricultural representative in the legislature,
but it also has the opposition of the majority
industrial centers.
At a public hearing whiCh was recently held,
on the bill, the Michigan Manufacturers As
sociation and other industrial organizations
were represented by the brightest legal talent
obtainable to argue against the bill. As a re-
sult of the «opposition that has come from
these sources, the committee has been dead-
locked for several days.

It is the contention of business and indus-
trial interests of the that a state income
tax would add so greatly to their already
pressing tax burdens that they could not sur-
vive. ‘ This statement is hard to understand
in view of the fact that no tax. is collected un-
less a net proﬁt is earned. The truth of the
matter is that these interests are ﬁghting as
they have always fought to prevent the adop~
tion of legislation which would make them pay
their fair share of taxation. .

As was pointed out before the committee by
Orlando F. Barnes, 3 member of the State
Tax Commission, which in its last annual re-
port recommended a state income tax, the
present system cf raising, ﬁnances by taxing
real estate values has been in existence for
over eighty years, and that the tremendous
growth of intangible values makes it desira-
ble that a ‘new form of taxation shall be adop-
ted which will'compe] these new 'values to
pay a larger proportion of the expense of run-
ning the state. Mr. Barnes’ arguments upon
this proposition are sound and will have the
backing of every man who is honestly desir-
ous of paying his share of the state taxes.
Those who in the past have sought to shove
their share of taxes upon their neighbors will
ﬁght the income tax but the man who has been
paying enormous taxes the last few years up-
on land which has not increased in productive
value will insist that the legislature permit
the people to vote on an income tax

It is not necessary to discuss the merits of»

this proposed measure. Leading economists
the world over will testify that the income tax
is the most equitable form of taxation that it
is possible to devise. Without question the
income tax should be adopted by this state.
i It will be adopted in this state if the farmers
in Michigan who are most vitally concerned
in this measure will get busy and make their
wishes known to their representatives. at
Lansing._ Delay in this matter will cost the

. . farmers heavily. The thing to do is to act at

once and in such unison as will leave no doubt
in the minds of our law makers of Lansing
where the agricultural interests of this state
stand upon the proposition. - .-

Farmers who have embraced the c0‘opera-'
tive principle of marketing farm "products
will need to take a ﬁrm grip upon their faith
during the few years that are to follow. They
must remember that any departure from the
established order ' of things is fraught with
danger and hardship. They must remember
that for every promise of success there is also
a threat of failure. But the stakes are worthy
of the effort. A plan that would wipe out

forever speculating in grain and that would. ‘ '

right proportion at exactly the right time, ;

This is the hope, 

cently announced by the Committee of Sevene
teen. Its realization depends entirely upon
the ability of the American farmer to'smother'
his individualism and oo-Operate conﬁdently
and wholeheartedly with his brother 'farm-
ers. Are you equal to the test?

Commission Form of County Government

GOOD many arguments have been. ad-

vanced both pro and con upon the prop-"
osition to amend’ the state constitution to ,
authorize counties which so desire to adopt a
commission form of county government. Sen»
ator McNaughton of Kent county, singularly . _

tor McNaughton was the man who introduced

STATE POLICE AND FARM
BUREAU
S I HAVE just read your paper
through, there are articles in
it-that please me greatly every
week. In fact, Mr. E. H. B., of
Brighton, Mich., expresses my sen-

timen ts.

It makes me smile to read the

piece Mr. ‘Bingham had published. It

seems to me that he got a punch

from the Farm Bureau that knock.

ed the wind out of him. Let me tell

you there are a. great many men in

Sanilac 00., that got the same thing
only in a different way. When the
Farm Bureau came out with en-.
Police in
their news letters and said they
found it. was mestly crooks, gamb-
lers and rum runners that did not
want the state police. they made a
great mistake. .We have had state

,_ police here this last summer. in the

interest of the sugar beet company
and all. they done was to try to get
some good farmer within the toils
of the law... because he refused to
grow sugar‘beets for less than cost
of production.

Rum runners. illicit stills, gamb-
ling places and sheep killing dogs
were out of their line. Even banks
that charged ten per cent interest
were unmolested and I understand
the legal rate of lawful interest is
seven per cent. If the farm bureau
thinks the board of supervisors of
twenty-four counties are- crooks
they have another guess Coming, es-
pecially in 'Sanilac Co., and if you
don’t belieye me just ask some of
those cheap lobbyists who tried to
change their mind.

No we don't. need the state police.
What we did need, last summer was
some one to get thousands of bush-
els of apples and other produce that

Still when you come to think about.
it everybody that makes anything
makes mistakes. Let’s get together
and pull for the farm bureau. It
is the only way for the farmers to
get anywhere. Just one thing more
and I am through. What I would

like to do is shake hands with the
men that voted for that law prohib-
iting aliens from owning ﬁrearms.—
Lyman Tenniswood, Sec’y Farm Bur-
eau Local, Sam'lao 00.. Michigan.

Don’t ever expect in cases of contro-

versy that the state police will ever be

on the side. of the farmer. They know
which side their bread is buttered on,
The active supporters of the state po-
lice in this and every other state in the
union which has agitated the question
have been the mining and manufactur-
ing interests. The history of the state
police during labor difﬁculties in New
York and Pennsylvania Is such as to'
bring the blush of shame to any true
American citizen. The deeds of outlaw-
ry which they have committed under
sanction of the state which created
them would not be permitted in the
most uncivilized country on the face of
the globe. Back of all the propaganda
that has been put out by the state po-
lice. the Anti-Saloon League and others
you will ﬁnd the directing finger of the
industrial interests of the state—Ed-
tor. .

THE “CRANDALL HOG DEAL"
AM GIVING you a thought of
what 1* think about the “Cran-
dall hog deal” in a recent issue

of M. B. F. as follows:

As everyone knows there are al-

ways two sides to everything and

.one may hear the one side and fail

to hear the other and of course this
goes a long ways sometimes; but if
the facts are as Mrs. Leonard states
that she was to have a registered 0.
I. C. sow and another was shipped
in the place of the one she was to
have, the one she received after
shipping the other one back and was
represented to .farrow and the proof
she had was the supervisor, there
would seem to be no question as to
who was to stand the loss.

In this case it would seem that
the law would protect Mrs. Leonard
as she paid for something that was
misrepresented and the law is very
plain there. She would not be able
to notify him within sixty days re-
garding the last sow farrowing as
she would not know positively. The
writer got stung the same way but
did not know what I could do until
too late but was advised afterwards
that I was protected by the law.

Mr; Crandall ' should settle with
Mrs. Leonard and if he is a reput—
able breeder he will ﬂx matters up
satisfactorily some way—M. B. Rus-
sell, Arenac County, Mich.

' Just the way we feel about the mat-

ter and we think a jury of uninterested
people would pass the same verdict.—

BEETS

ANY SUGAR beet growers here
wonder if the excess payment
of 7 cents a tourecently re-

ceived from the Owosso Beet Sugar‘
Co. really represents all that is due
us under the contract. Contract for
1920 expressly stipulates that “said
average price of beet sugar shall be
determined from the ofﬁcial New
York net cash market quotations of
Willett & Gray, covering the central
states territory (Mich., Ohio, Ind.,
Ill.) during the ment 5 of October,
November and Decem er and Janu-
ary, 1921, by adding together the
prices of beet sugar so quoted for
the' working days of said period and
dividing the total by the number of
days quoted.

“Payment of the additional com-
pensation shall be made by the com—
pany on February 15, 1821, and the
grower will be given a report show-
ing the computation of the average
price."

No one I have talked with has re-
ceived any such report. Have just
written the company about it. Can
M. B. "F. give us any light—S. B..
Brown City, Michigan.

No, we can give you no enlighten-
ment except to say that the manufac-.
turcrs have deliberately ignored that
clause of their contract for a number
of years, In an interview with Mr, W.
H, Wallace 9. year ago I asked him why
supply farmers
with their statement showing how the
computation was arrived at, “Oh,” he
said, “we found that most of them never
looked at the statement, so we quit
sending it out.” But it is in the con-
tract and should be supplied. The next
question is, how can the farmers force
the factories to live Up to this clause or
any other part of the contract which
they see ﬁt to violate? It is unlikely
that the factories would dare to pay the
farmers on any other basis than that
agreed upon, but that fact does not les-
son the factories obligation to supply

THANKS FOR RECIPES

OUR EDITOR wishes to thank
Ythe ladies who so quickly re-

sponded with such carefully
written recipes for bread. Young
Housewife must feel that the spirit
‘of kindliness and helpfulness was
most graciously extended to her and
,I believe we would all like to hear
how she is getting along With “the
staff of life.” There are still a half
dozen recipes not published ahd per-
haps it will be well, beginning next
week, to leave them for awhile and
just put one in occasionally, as there
are so many new things coming up
in the recipe line that I am sure you
wil enjoy. We-will have to make
room for a few of them at least. a

One may mentioned a
sponge cake and cinnamon roll reci—
pe. We will be glad to publish them
if she will send them. The chicken
pie recipe I spoke about will be ready
next week. It is delicious and easily
served to a number.

If Mrs. A. L. H. of Hillman will
send me her address I will gladly
mail to her the addresses she asked
for.

Just before Christmas a young
lady wrote to this department ask—
' ing for a. plum—pudding recipe that
really called for plums; after much
searching and many inquiries I have
come to the conclusion that just plain
currants, raisins are meant and
sometimes ﬁgs and dates and that
there are no more plums in plum-
pudding than there are tacks in
tactics or pins in pinochle.

RECIPE FOR GOOD
BREAD

Al lVAYS make bread in this way.

When I want to make bread on

Saturday I boil 3 or 4 medium
sized potatooes on Friday. When
they are boiled I drain the water
from the potatoes, it is about 1 quart
of water and I add to the water
about one quart of flour and 2 table-
spoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons
of salt and add the potatoes mash-
ed. Then in one cup of lukewarm
water I soak 1 1-2 cakes of yeast
cake. When the yeast cake is soft I
put it with the other ingredients and
stir well.

Then cover and wrap warm and
stand over night in warm place.

In the morning I mix the sponge
with one quart of lukewarm water.
I put 4. quarts of flour into the
bread'pan and I put the sponge into
the flour but do not mix it with the
flour. Let stand about 1-2 an hour
to rise then I knead it stiff and let
it stand to rise. When bread pan is
full I make the loaves and put in
pans. Let rise. Bake about one
hour. When I have good flour I
have my bread baking done before
noon but never 'longer than four
o’clock in the afternoon. Try this
and you will haVe nice bread—Mrs“
J. J. K...Posen, Mich. ‘

was an officer in the army and we
were married in France during the

The Game of-L1fe
“ ‘Night after night the cards were fairly shuffled
And fairly dealt, but still I got no hand.

The morning came, but I with mind. unmﬁ‘led
Did simply say ‘I do not understand.’

‘Life is a game of whist; from unseen sources
The cards are shuffled and the hands are dealt.
Vain are our efforts to control the forces,
Which, though unseen, are no less strongly felt.

‘I do not like the way the cards are shuffled,
But still I like the game and want to play.

And through the long, long night, with mind unruffled,
Play what I get until the dawn of day.’ "

Some Domestic Needs of F arm Women

 
GRICULTURAL College bulletins
and department literature are
available and set forth practi-

' cal methods ,of procedure within the

reach of all. The large companies
manufacturing cement and concrete,
frequently have valuable contribu~
tions to offer in the way of working
drawings and plans as to how cis-
terns, reservoirs, or septic tanks may
be constructed. It is not 'a diﬂicult
matter at all for the men folks on
the farm to learn to mix and to use
cement, and the farm women may
well encourage this study of simple
water systems and concrete work, by
sending for an the literature which
they can obtain. If she will study it
out herself '.and beready to talk
about it when the men folks come
in to meals or in the evening, she will
not be long in awakening their in-
terest. '

Not only is a simple water system
but sewage disposal entirely “possible
at small expense. The labor is what
counts, and by planning/the farmer
can usually furniSh most offthis. All
too often the well water or thesprjp‘g

lacking, and rain barrels are de-
pended upon f-or household purposes
including bathing. Is it any wonder
that the women become stoop-
shouldered, old, .and work-worn be-
fore their time; that bathing is not
as regular or as‘ frequent as it
should be, with the resulting sacri-
ﬁce of health; that complexions be-
come sallow and dingy, and the
young people who go to town to high
school are induced to remain there
by the greater-conveniences
they ﬁnd.

In many localities, springs could
be piped to the house very easily, or
the water stored in a reservoir—a
relatively small one will do. This
could be built and cemented on a
neighboring knoll or hill.
old-fashioned cistern built in the
cellar, bricked and cemented on the
inside, anduwith an easy working
.pump, is not to be scorned. Many
of these-cisterns were not furnished
with ventilation, and so the water
became; stagnant and unhealthful. .

Very satisfactory septic - tanks

' Without doubt one of the main
causes of ill health on the farm. of‘
frequent, colds, or the prevalence of

bronchial and similar troubles in the, ' ‘

winter, is the exposure "of the unsan-
itary out house which must often be
reached through snowy paths or in
driving storms. One of the great
evils of the day is constipation, and
it is peculiarly apt to attack those
who repress the calls of nature be-'
cause’of inconvenience and discom-
fort. -‘

It must not be forgotten that :the
average t0wn or city dweller pays
out a good deal of money in the
course of time, for bath room plumb.—
ing and water taxes. Even they must
pay the price. _  '

Then summer time diseases in the
form of fevers, dysentery,vetc., are.
distinctly , encouraged by “conditions
'so likely to prevail in the heat and
moisture of the summer time. Tests
have been repeatedly made by scat-

powder about out buildings. Later,

borne hither by the feet of :the filthy
fly, thusproving that these “crest-y

'family living rooms. '. '

A plentiful supply of water, the
disposal of all sewage, with the con-i
sequent elimination of many, insect
pests, will do much to reduce‘work‘
on the farm. Many homes lack even
drainage, for the water' from the“.
kitchen sink. Sometimes the sink,
itself is lacking and the worker has.-

mer or across the glistening white
ﬁelds in ,‘winter, without the least
feeling’df being shut in or restrict-
ed. It is quite as though one were
out of doors and yet the temperature
just right for comfort. The health
of the whole family has been much
better since the dark, dingy rooms
Were flooded with sunshine.

In many homes, a great gain
would be effected by taking down
the heavy, window draperies and
merely hanging simple, sheer mus-
lin curtains. Sunshine and plenty of
mirrors will help keep the farm wo-
man young, for they will show her
plainly just what she needs to do to
keep herself physically ﬁt. Her work
is much too important for her to al—
low herself- to become dragged and
discouraged, and there is no place in
the world where. so many comforts
may be had so reasonably and with
so little'tcost of maintenance, as on
the farm. ,

Most of us can have about what
we want in this world if we want it
long enough, hard enough and earn-
estly enough.. The point is to
know just what we desire; to visual-
ize our goal. We would never start
on a. journey without knowing where
we were going nor would we go s'hop—
ping without having an idea what
we needed. So let us take time to
plan just how we would like our
homes to be arranged if we could
have our. way. ' '

Someone has said very wisely,
that “it matters not so much how
fast we are traveling, as that we are
headed in the right direction." So
we need not be discouraged if we
cannot have all of the improve-
ments we want at once. The main
thing is to know what we do want
and to be traveling in that direction.
A few improvements each year with
plans for others, will soon lessen the
domestic needs of the farm woman,
" and make life easier and pleasanter.

EAR CHILDREN: Recently I re-
ceived a letter from a Michigan
girl who has been spending the

'winter in Georgia and she tells all
about the trip from Michigan to
Georgia. It is very interesting and
I am printing it this week. This is
the ﬁrst time I have had space for it.
And she says in her letter that she
will tell us about the return trip when
she gets home, If I knew when she
returned I would write a letter to
her so she would not forget her
promise but I hope she sees this let:
ter so that she will know we are
anxious to have her tell us about the
trip. ‘

This is the last issue in which we
will publish New Year resolutions
because it is getting the time of
year when we would rather talk
about what we are going to plant in
our gardens this year. Tell me what
you are going to plant in your gar-
den. Are you planning‘on planting
things that you can sell to town peo-
ple and make some spending money
or just vegetables for the table at
home? When I was a little boy I
used to earn my spending money by
gathering horseradish, grating it up,
putting it in cans and selling to the
town people. How many of you

about our trip, We came through Cm-
cinnati, and crossed the Ohio river, It
is one-half mile acrossand it took eight
hours to cross it; Ohio is a beautiful
country.. In Louisville, Kentucky, we
drove through Chirokee Park where all
of the old whiskey men live. There
were some,be’autiful residences there.
We saw the capitol buildings at Frank-
fort, The road led up a mountain and
circled around the buildings; We could
look down 40 feet and see them. On the
border of Kentucky and Tennessee we
ferried the Tennessee river at night. It
is half a mile across it. We went over
the Lockout mountains. We were 1.3
days on the road, We are in the center
of a 1,000 acre wood, How would you
like to live here Uncle Ned? I saw a
dead rattlesnake. over 5 feet long. A

.GIBLHOOD STORIES OF FAM’DUB
. Julia Howe
0N SUNNY afternoons, ,in summer,

 
the beach. at Newport is crowd-

ed with men, women and child-'

ren, who .are bathing or playing in
the sand. , .. ‘ .

Back in the 19th century, Mr.
Ward had taken his daughter Julia,
to Newport. Instead of playing in
the water, or on the sand, little Jul-
ia was walking sedately along with
her hand in. her father’s. on her
head was a thick green worsted veil.
A queer substitute for a rubber sbath-
ing cap, to be sure! ’

Ju'lia came from a very wealthy,
aristocratic family and she was not
allowed to play as other children
played. A ' passer-by remarked:

“Little Julia has another freckle
today." , , Julia was terribiy‘worried.

But Julia War-d Howe’s aristocracy
was not of the shallow, meaningless
kind. She became a leader of wo-

men, and won fame because she de-'

served it. She is best’remem‘bered
as author of “The Battle Hymn of
the Republic."

developed several exceptionally ﬁne
varieties of oats. These’ are giyen
thorough tests at several points in
the state. After having proved their
adaptation and superior yielding
abilities, stock seed is distributed to
members of the Michigan Crop Im-

of these specialized farmers the seed
is increased under the supervision of
the Agricultural College. A rigor-

College Wonder and Wolverine Oats
The College Wonder cat was ﬁrst
distributed in 1915 and has been
very popular with a great many low-
land farmers thrOughout- the state;
This is an open-headed 703': which
produces a large number of plump,
thin-hulled kernels per head and in
addition, it has a very stiff straw,

ten standing where other oats hays .

one ’ down. 'This characteristic
alone makes italmost invaluable to
farmers, who are frequently troub-
led with the lodging of their cats.

The Worthy was ﬁrst distributed
in 1912, and has very similar char-
acteristics to the Collegé
oat: however, in recent variety tests-

' it has not yielded so well as the Col-

lege Wonder. The Worthy is widely

.grown throughout Michigan and in

the extensive experimental work it
has repeatedly shown itself to be a
superior variety. *

The Wolverine oatis fast becom-
ing very popular with zfarmers from
sout’hernMichigan to the shores of
Lake Superior. This oat is not as
stiff strawed as either the Worthy
or College Wonder but it is a. very
high-yielding cat that has been Ina-
turing a few days earlier. Some»
growers have termed it to be a
“drown-evading" oat because it ma-
tured just early enough to escape
the drouths. This oat is particular-
ly adapted. to the upland soils. The

quality of the berry is very ﬁne in 
that it is plump and very thin-huli- ,’

ed, which tends to make itua super-
ior feeding cat. Mr. G. . W.
Putnam, of Chatham Experiment»
Station, has tested these oats out in

upper peninsula and found that they?

not only out-yielded the Swedish. Se-
lect oats but were of superior feed.

HOW WE LOVE? TO DO IT
(Continued from page 11)
tellers that had a pull durin' the
wait an’ are still holdin' it, and livin’
on the fat of the land—they’re roll-
in’ in wealth an' our little income
tax goes to make up what they stole
outright from the government an’
some of 'em ain't through stealin’
even yet. Yes, there’s a lot of
mighty pleasant thoughts connect-
ed with the makin’ out of (fur in—
come tax return—an’ a lot of things

not so pleasant too.

'An’ sometimes, mebbe, we git to
thinkin’ this ain’t so much of a
country after all—that mebbe some
other country would be better. Well
let’s see—Emma Goldman ,thought
that for a good many years—now she
‘is back in Russia an’ would give her
eyes almost to be back here—when
I git to thinkin' of things over there
——of all the kings an’ queens, jacks
an’ ten spots or whatever they call
the offspring of kings an’ queens——
think of the millions an' millions of
dollars that’s wrung out of the suf-
ferin’ people over there to keep up
the pomp and pride of the royal fam-
ilies—of a little king no bigger than
one of our undersized men, being
drawn through the streets by “six
coal black horses" an’ bein’ follered
by other high bugs in carriages
drawn by six snow white horses and
givin' to hear the little king read a
paper, written by some body else to
parliament in the town hall or where
eyer it is he reads it—then I think
of the expense of all this pomp. an’
show an’ somehow I can’t help but
think of the starving millions over
there an’ how much better it would
be to do away with all this fol-de-rol
an' do somethin’ to help the needy
subjects of said kings ’s'tead of'de—
pendin' on the 01' U. S. A. to see em
through. And seems "to me it they
got money to throw away like that
they might pay a little part of what
theyowe our Uncle.Samuel and that
would ease up a little on the burden
that’s put on our workers over here.
But taken all in all, I am thinkin'
while workin’ on this tax return that
we’d have to go some to ﬁnd a better
country than our own—a country
where every man is king an’. every
woman is queen of our own lives an'
homes—where we do not how the
head nor bend the knee to royalty
nor pay homage to snobbery—but
,where we have a chance to live the
life we choose free from fear an’ in
the hope of a brighter day which is
V bound to come for this country was

won't be dominated by foreign kings
nor cheap politicians-the people
will rule an' all will be well with us

of the United States and establish i 
in its stead a social democracy. We a  i ~ -
ofthe Eastareaxkedmcondemnthe.‘ ‘ ‘_ -
Non-Partisan. League as a (11le  ' »
_organization and to close our eyes V ¢ 
to the injustices which have given 1‘ y. I. Iv j .
an excuse for the creation of this or- . - “ "
ganization. We are implored to H
think back upon the sterling loyalty t.
of our toretathers and to accept the g ‘
comititution as the perfect lustrn-  _ 
ment of,right and. equality. « . 

Those who parade the Constitu- 
tlon as an argument against. the
Non-Partisan League or. any other
movement which has for its purpose,
a. change inrgovernmental policy, are
amusingly inconsistent. The l'con'sti-
tutio of the United States which
was a opted in 1787, was not a per-
feet instrument by any means and ' -,
imany of those who took part in - _
the original V instrument _  I “
-were in later years responsible for ‘
amending it to meet the developing
Zneeds of the times. The foot” that
the constitution of the United States
‘ has been amended eighteen different
times. is all the argument that is, .
needed" to prove that no declaration ~V _  '4 y
of civil rights can be made a. hard   
and inflexible document, but must 
be adjusted to the constantly chang- . , 
ing conditions in a state’s or nation’s '
social, economic and political life.
Some of the most important provio.
sions of the constitution of the Unit-f
ed States as well as the constitution:*_
of the several states, are not contain- ‘
ed in the original text at all, but in.
the amendments which later gener-
ations feund advisable to-adopt, a

The constitutional methods of the _
NomPartisan League are precisely I’
the same methods that have been em- 1
ployed at other times and places in”
the name of constitutional reform..
Their enemies cannot injure them in
the least by spreading lying propa-
ganda, locking up their leaders in
jail upon trumped up charges ,otf
disloyalty or assaulting citizens of »
the United States who attend their
meetings. - \ ,

Truth is that-most powerful pal- 
native for any condition. -' e If the; ,j

HE BUSINESS farmers of Michigan are particularly invited to this year’s exhi-
Vgg bition of the latest achievements in the Automobile, Truck and Tractor Industry,
, ' which will be on display in the largest single-floorrshowever held in America. N o
A"! single class of business men in America haveproﬁted more from the advent of the
automotive industry than the farmer. The automobile has brought the stores, schools
and advantages of the t0wn or city to Within a few minutes of his farm._ The truck'has
made it possible for him to sell his dairy and other perishable products on the proﬁtable; .
market, once too far distant for slow-footed. horse . hauling.‘ _ The tractor is ﬁnding a:
place on every real business farmer’s farm, not only for plowing and harvesting, but for
hauling and power purposes. , » i ‘ ' r , I I , b g . , _

It will therefore be well w orth your timeto come and bring

your friends to the Detroit Auto, A Show to see for yourself the prog-
ress which has been made to make your farm life and yOur farming

 
business more pleasant and more proﬁtable; .
‘ Count yourself lucky that gyou‘live-so  _
‘near to America’s great aUto show and take.  g ' _
