He also knows that in the cities and in the southern counties cars are usually run for the full twelve months of the Year. He also knows that for the privilege of using his car on the roads for eight or nine months he is paying the same license fee as is his more fortunately situated fellow cit— izen who use: his car on the roads for the full twelve months and he has been wondering why he is thus being discriminated against. He asks no favors, seeks no charity, but feels that in this matter he is not getting a square deal. Lanky Sandy MacDonald of Houghton, in which territory the injustice is most notice- able, because in the upper peninsula frequently cars can be run in coun- try distrjcts but seven months in the year, introduced in the house, a bill providing that after April first, each year, licenses may be taken out for three-fourths of the yearly rate, and has been with real Scotch persistency pushing for it passage. This prop- osition has been advanced before but has been strenuously opposed by the State Highway Commissioner, who while admitting its justness has op- posed it on the ground that “the State needs the money" and when Sandy’s bill was introduced and he began to talk to members for it, the active members of the "Thumbs Up” club and of the "Me Toos" began to explain with aggressive manifesta— tions of owlish wisdom that while the principle was alright, that it would be very unwise at this time because the state needs the money. But really does the state need the money so badly that it cannot afford to play fair with all classes of its citizens? We have a federal appro- priation of 23 millions for Michigan. We shall provide for the sale of 10 millions of road bonds; we shall have 6 1-2 millions from auto and truck licenses (which may be very ma- terially increased by pending legis— lation) and we have a half mill state road tax amounting to 2 1-2 millions beside all the county, township and covert road tax aggregating between 45 and 50 million dollars available for the year 1921 and in the face of these facts the “Wise Men of the East” in the ripeness of their exper- ience and the profoundlty of their wisdom solemnly announce that to take off $2.56 from the Fords and a like proportion from the can’t affords of up—state citizens blockaded by snow three to five months of the year, (less than one~third of the auto owners of the state) would ser- iously cripple the finances of the de— partment resulting in its partial. if not permanent demoralization and probably result in the final destruc— tion of the universe. Well, Sand-y finally got his bill out of the house committee and steered it through to final passage where it failed by two votes. Sandy 'had it reconsidered. laid on the table and it will be taken up again in a few days and it is to be hoped with bet— ter results. This is a matter of some importance to twovthirds or more of the farmers of the state the justice of which no one denies. Will not some one call the attention of our Farm Bureau friends to it? And Mr. Reader, you might write a letter to your Representative about it. (The county clerk will give you his name.)

A public hearing was held before the house committee which was largely attend;— ed by representatives of mining, manufacturing and other interest! which might be more or less affected, if such a tax were imposed, two or three representatives of farm organ- izations, and a number of the tax commission and a considerable num- ber of individuals interested from I. personal standpoint either for or against the proposition. The arguments pro and con held the very close attention of those present and all manifested deep in- terest in the subject. The repre- sentatives of farm organizations made the tactical blunder of advo- cating the measure as one which in its operation would work to relieve the farmers of part of his tax bur- den and place it on the other inter~ ests represented thereby opening the door to the charge that class advant- age was sought by the adherents of the proposed amendment, which was quickly seized upon by its opponents whose talented, resourceful and high salaried representatives rang all the charges on this charge, painting re— alistic word pictures of misguided masses striving blindly to undermine the state’s industrial fabric, succeed- ing in which, it must follow that they like Samson, must perish in the re- sulting crash. In the forefront of these beautiful pictures were por- trayed the working man and his family, the widows and orphans and the aged and infirm all destined to become the victims of this unreason- ing agrarian horde seeking class ex- emption from the burdens of govern- ment. So realistic were the pictures, so convincing the argument, so male— volent the purpose that from the de— tached, impressionable spectator in- voluntarily came the expression, “Perish the thought.” But the hearing did not close at this point. Along comes Orlando 1". Barnes, president of the commission and took up the cudgels for the amendment and as he proceeded with the discussion it became apparent that he knew what he was talking about and that his viewpoint was not. anti this or anti that but simply pro public. He discussed the method of its application, cited the experience of New York, Wisconsin and other states levying such a tax, and finally made the clinching argument that within the industrial area of the state was being held today three thousand millions; three billions ($3,000,000.000) dollars in the form of intangible property consisting of tax exempt bonds and securities and other securities stealthin secreted which is now almost if not entirely escaping taxation for state purposes. and that the income tax presents the only means by which it may be reach- ed. It is manifest that those by law exempted cannot be placed on the supervisors roll and that the oth- ers may conveniently be forgotten or denied in the excitement attendant upon the local assessor’s visit. While the principal of such investments may be exempt from taxation in - pursuance of a sound. public policy, it is obvious that the income from such investments is a legitimate source of public revenue. That the imposition of such a. tax would bring (Continued on page 19) :‘RL- “I.

The 113 locals are reported by C. E. Ackerman of Durand7 gen- eral manager of the association, to signing the association contract in preference to all others, but the acreage is generally lower than that of other years. Conservatism is quite , goneral among beet growers, continues Mr. Ackerman, stating that locals are reporting 200 to 1,000 acres as their totals, which is much lower than the total for 1920. Many growers declare that they will not grow beets this year, and others are taking the conservative course indicated by the foregoing figures. The contract drawn up by the sugar beet association is based upon the Utah-Idaho farm bureau sugar beet growers’ agreement with their manufacturers, which will add $2,000,000 to the crop return of the growers in those states. The contract provides for $6.45 a ton for beets on the basis of five cent sugar, whole- sale, and adds $1.29 to the price per ton of beets for each one cent increase in the whole- sale /price of sugar. The contract makes the association the sole representative of the grower before the manufacturer. The normal acreage of sugar beets in Mich- igan is 175,000 acres, says the farm bureau, which provides about 1,000,000 tons of beets hr the 17 sugar factories of the state. The Sign the Association Contract HE m growers of nearly every western state have succeeded in con- vim; the manufacturers that they ought to have oomethtng to say about their contract. and as a result of conferences be! tweenfl1etwo,contractshavebecnadopted forthe1921season.

Why farm- ersareeoblindthatfiwycannotseethis is beyond conception. The campaign con- ducted by the Boot Growers’ Association and the Farm Bureau to secure signers to the Won contract has proceeded fav- orably and is expected to alhnlnate April 16th. All those who have not signed the contractumurgedtodosobytlmtdateso that negotiations may be immediater un- dertaken with the mum-Editor. normal value of the crop is about $11,000,000. The following announcement was sent out last week by Manager C. E. Ackerman: To all BugaraBeet and Farm Bureau Locals: “On account of the season for planting crops drawing near we have decided to make April 16th the time limit for gathering our sugar beet contracts. According to reports sent In to date locals have signed on our contracts from 150 to 1,000 acres each. Many report growers are slow in signing up although they say they want to raise beets, but will not on the contracts now be- ing solicited by the manufacturers. It will be seen that these are the men that are blocking the game. We will not be able to do much in our campaign of signing up our acreage on our con- tracts if the growers hold off in signing them. The. manufacturers well know that the man that is not decided in the contract he wants and will grow on, will as a last resort tumble to them when the time comes to plant beets. Call your grow— ers together and make it plain to them that if the grower expects to get a contract as good as ours he will have to sign it so we can negotiate it, otherwise the manufacturers will beat us again and do it hard this time. There is noth— ing binding about these contracts until they are accepted by the manufacturers and in turn by the grower, the same as any other beet contract which they may sign. “We want to get enough acres signed up so that we can go to all the seventeen manufacturers in the state and offer them all the acres they will require to run their plants for the season of 1921. Of course we will take care of any one or several of the manufacturers that will accept our contracts. “Make a special effort to get all the growers that expect to sign our contracts to do so within the next week and see that they all are sent to us at our office at Durand, Michigan. “There will be no “strike” called this year. Each and every grower will decide himself what contract he wants to grow on this year. We will negotiate any and all contracts turned over to us. Under this plan every grower can if he will join our Association as his individual rights are in no way hampered and this Association can get the grower what he wants if it can be had by organ- lzation, and we will not be acting alone and at a disadvantage on that account. “Please see that all our contracts are sent to us by April 16th, or as soon thereafter as possible. Also let us be able to guarantee the manufactur- ers 175,000 acres which will run their factories. Let’s all pull together for the next two weeks and then LET US STICK TOGETHER.”—Michigan Sugar Beet Growers’ Association, By C. E. Acker- man, Manager. Milk Prices for Detroit Area Continue Far Below Average HE BUREAU of Markets report on the fluid milk market for the month of March reveals the fact that out of 94 cities reporting only 14 showed as low a price paid to the farmers as is paid in the Detroit area. These include four cities in Wisconsin, the premier dairy state of the union. During the month of March the Detroit distributors paid , farmers $2.51 per cwt., for 3.5 milk. During the same period New England farmers sup- plying the cities of Boston, Hart- ford and New Haven received from $3.72 to $4.22 for 3.5 milk, and farmers supplying such western cities as San Francisco, Los An- geles, Duluth, St. Paul, Seattle, Portland, Ore, received at the lowest $2.80 and at the highest $3.50. Grand Rapids, (Mich) producers received $2.58 and Battle Creek producers, $3.35. The latter price did not, however, apply to surplus milk. The retaili prices in Detroit, Grand Rap- ids and Battle Creek were identical for the month, viz., 13 cents per quart. Retail Prices Vary Comparison of buying and selling priCes in the various cities shows wide difierences. The Detroit selling price for the month was 125 per cent higher than the purchasing price; Fort Wayne’s, 108 pct; Duluth, 122 pct; Rochwter, N. Y., 110 pct; Cincinnati, 89 pct.; Chicago, 126 pet; Pittsburg, 100 pct. With me exception of a few cities in the extreme ‘ southern states where peeple are in the habit of paying high» prices for milk, few cities re- port as high a spread between the price paid to the farmer and the price charged the consumer as exists in Detroit. In the city of Milwaukee the retail price of milk for March was 10 cents. The price to the farmer was $2.30 per cwt., or 5 cents per quart.

The average price to the producer during the month of March in all states excluding the far southern states where milk prices are very high, was $3 per cwt., and the average retail price was 13.7 cents. Just how soon the dairy industry will re- cover from its present stagnancy no one will presume to say. The surplus question which has bothered most dairy sections for some months past promises to become more acute during the next two or three months. This means still lower prices On all kinds of dairy products. Much has been said of the menace to the domestic dairy industry by the importation of dairy products from the Netherlands. It is true that Dutch exports of butter to this coun- try have been largely increased, but the adoption of the emergency tarifi bill will likely help to reduce these. A much greater danger to the dairy industry, in our judg- ment, is the increasing consumption of but- ter substitutes which cannot be excluded from the family table by a tariff wall or other leg- islative means and must be combatted by ed.- ucation and boycott. Unless more cflective steps are taken to discourage the use of grease and nut “butters,” they will continue to crowd legitimate. dairy butter oil the market. It does not seem as if the dairy organizations me doing anywhere near what they could to cope with the difiicultiea facing the industry at this time. , 11 \ 4 (694) THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER April 9, 1921 Behind the Seenes Where They Make the Movies How the “Make Believe” of the Movie Stage is Transformed Into the “Real Thing” on the Screen SHORT PERIOD of only fifteen years ago, and the motion picture industry was not! Not one of our American cities at that time owned a moving picture theatre! To- day, every neighborhood maintains and sup- ports at least One movie and some of them support three and four of these incandescent palaces within a radius of a few city blocksl In the year 1908 the motion picture indus- try was but an “idea,” born in the minds of a few, whose sanguine faith in the kodak equalled the rapid strides with which this in- dustry or profession (call it what you may) has startlingly entertained the entire world! In 1909 this idea began to unfold and grad- ually shape itself into an actuality, an indus- try, profession, art, (again you may call it what you will.) until today this industry or profession ranks in American productiveness next to that of the automobile. Fabulous fortunes have been created by the motion picture industry, and, fabulous for- tunes have been lost! If it is true that the world needs to be en- tertained, and from the vast sums thus ex— pended this must be true. certainly the au- tomobile and the motion picture industries are allied industries in this regard! That is to say, in the matter of ways and means attained for the world’s By EBIMA l‘IATT RUSH within “seizmg” distance of the precious in- strument, the signal for retreat was given and the camera concealed! At least one famous director, whose name today is a household word, in the early days, was known to carry his camera to location hidden within the depths of an old clothes basket filled with vegetables! Cabbages, let- tuce and cauliflower concealed his precious camera, and only upon reaching location, and his faithful scouts scattered far, and near to sound the alarm of an approaching officer of the law. was the camera uncovered! At the end of the day's work,‘ the instrument was again concealed beneath its garden truck guardsmen. California was brought into the limelight as a motion picture center because of the fact that. in the early days all scenes had to ‘be taken by sunlight and motion picture sta- tistics show that California enjoys about 340 “shooting” days per year! Michigan sportsmen, do not misinterpret the phrase “shooting days!” Every day is a “shooting day” in the motion picture game. A picture in'the early days of the industry get the effect of “realism” so necessary in a picture. Upon the modern stage of the motion pict- ure studios however, and within the total darkness of these concrete enclosures, the task of. constructing mountains and tunnels, coal mines and shafts, and subtcr'anean passages, is successfully carried on by the motion picture *arpenter and platic artist! Lumber, cement and paint, within these indoor stages, in the hands of those skilled workmen and artists, do the work of nature, and the modern light- ing system, for the correct lighting effects of the scenes, does the rest! That is to say, an atmosphere of storm, rain, thunder, lightning and sunlight, is accomplished by artificial light and water, as the occasion may require! And then the camera! At the immense indoor studios of the fifteen acre “lot” of the Fox Film Corporation in Hollywood, we saw the carpenters making [one of the famous tunnels of the Alps. Friendly pine trees cut down in the forests of the Sier- ra Madre mountains not far distant, were carried thither, and these completed the ef- fect of “realism” of the entire scene. . 'Again, we saw the men constructing a coal mine out of lumber and cement, and a tank of Water placed upon a high derrick entertainment. A marvelous tale is that of the motion picture industry! As marvelous as that of the automo- bile. In the beginning, for there is always a “beginning” no matter how great the end, the success of the motion picture industry de- pended absolutely upon the abil- ity to get, not actors, neither stor- ies nor “location,” for these were there for the asking, but the en- tire motion picturc industry in the beginning, depended upon the ability to get a "amera: A cam- era. that could be turned with a c‘ank! There were numerous cameras upon the market, but a camera that could be turned with a crank was a necessary and a fundament- within the concrete enclosed stage, was to supply the water for the deluge as the mine caved in as the story progressed. Coal and coal dust were carried in from a near by smelter, and the entire “set” had every vestige of realism. REALISM! That is the thine: they are all after, these motion picture producers. For every picture must be absolutelv true to the life it depicts. A Previous to the development of the lighting system, above refer— icdnto, when the work of “shoot- ing a picture, had necessarilv to be done in the sunlight of nature, canvas-top, Open-air stages were used. Then came an evolution in the stage system of the movies and the glass enclosed stage, with walls and ceiling of solid glass, came in vogue. Next inthe evo- al requirement for the motion picture business! The Eastman ' Kodak Company believed that they ~held the patent right upon the idea of a motion picture camera! Before a motion picture company, therefore, could be organized or_ considered even, a camera had to be obtained! By the very fact of its success, a camera was obtain- ed, and retained, although very often, in the beginning, by so-callcd “dark” meth— ods! There was a blanket war and of seizure out for every motion picture camera that was found; for the Eastman Kodak Company at that time were cndeavoring to force their rights to a motion picture camera. A camera expert would make a camera. and a company about to organize would hear of it. The lnan with the camera was taken into the company at once, for no other reason perhaps, than that he could and would make a camc'a that could be. turned with. a crank, for as has been inferred, upon such a cam- era depended the entire future of the motion picture company. \Vhole fortunes turned upon the ability to secure, such a camera! There was, of courSe, always the jeopardy of a lawsuit and the confiscation of the prec- ious instrument by the authorities of the law! Until the camera matter therefore, was settled, cameras in the early days of the be- ginning of this immense industry, were al- ways“ concealed ! Back in 1909, before the. camera question was settled, when a company went out upon what is called in moving picture parlance “location,” scouts were detailed around the site of the location of the work of taking pict- ures, so that when an officer of the law eame A View 0! One of the Open Air Canvas Top Stages tn ,Hollywoocl could only be “shot,” or taken, in the sun— light, hence the popularity of California as a center of motion picture activities. Eastern studios in the early days, had of course, to be open—air studios, and as there were, not as many open or sunlighted days in the East as expérienced in California’s un— ique climate, the work in the East conse- quently suffered. In time, however, and with the evolution of the modern lighting system of the motion picture studios, the difficulty of cloudy days has not only been overcome, but entirely elim- inated, and it is now possible to work all night long if necessary. This modern lighting system has made pos- sible the large motion picture studios now lo- cated in the East. Many of the modern mo- tion picture stages erected upon the \Veste coast, for that matter, are constructed entire- ly within conm'ete enclosures and in total darkness, artificial.light being resorted to. For, even in California, where there are 340 working or sun-lighted days," there still remain 25 days at least during which time actors and stage, hands are receiving tremendous salar— ies, and the work necessarily suspended be- cause of a short rainy season, or high winds from the ocean! Thus theinodern artificial lighting system of the motion picture industry, is now recog- nized as being more reliable even than the solar system! Of course certain scenes that must absolutely be taken in the sunlight and out of doors, in order to there still remain, lutiOn of the motion picture stage, and with the evolution of the sys‘ tem of artificial light, came the concrete-en- closed structures already referred to. Just a word as to length of reels, or pict- ures. And this may be regarded as the com- mercml end of the business, for after the sets have-been erected, the actors and directors salarles agreed upon, the actual length of a picture decides its cost! The length of one finished reel, that is to say, finished as the public views it, usually averages 1,000 feet of film. The average us— ual program picture that is not a special or— dinarily runs from 4,500 to 5,000 feet of film. Specials, as a rule, run longer, say somewhere between 5.000 and 10,000 feet! We are speak- ing now of the finished picture as it is placed upon the silver sheet, but let it be remem— bered, in order to get this length of finished product, it is sometimes necessary to take or “shoot” upon an average of from 350,000 to 500,000 feet of film pictures.

When farm- ers are organized properly they expect to se- cure higher prices, based perhaps on the cost of production, as the dairy and milk produc- ers’ organizations are striving to do. That is true enough, and rightly so, but there is another side to the proposition that is not always so readily appreciated. When the farmers, thru organized effort, have the consumer where he must pay them a profitable price for their produce, Mr. Consumer Wlll have a perfect right to come back with a de- mand that the farmers must produce their products as efficiently and cheaply as poss1ble if he is to pay for their cost plus a profit. The consumer may say to the dairyman: "Are you using a purebred sire that will grade up your herd with better cows that can produce my milk mm‘e cheaply? Are all your cows profitable producers or am I paying you to keep some ‘boarders?’ Am I to pay the profits of the small dairymen whose expense schedule will show double the housing and labor cost per cow compared with larger herds?” To the crop producer the consumer may rightly say: “18- your farm large enough to use your machinery, horses, and labor most efficiently? Can you show me just what it cost you to raise those potatoes or apples per bushel?” These are some of the matters to which farmers’ organizations should give attention. No dairyman should talk much about milk prices who is not keeping careful track of his herd, either by his own reckoning or, better yet, thru the services of a cow test association. No farmer should talk about organizing to maintain prices who is not willing to organize By E. L. \iGELOW i Watch Your Costs HEN COMPETITION or business do- Wpression forces dOWn his prices the shrewd manufacturer scans his 0081 sheets to see if he can reduce his costs of production. If he can he remains in busi- ness. If he can‘t, he fails. Declining prices on farm products will bring many farmers to the verge of bankruptcy—unless they can cut their production costs. Some of them will not be able to see how this can be done. but it is a subject worthy of careful study. Greater efliciency, lower farm wages, in- creased yield per acre and rigid economy in production. added to increased efficiency and economy in marketing, will do the bus- iness. Mr. Bigelow gives us some valuable thoughts on the subject in the accompany- ing article—Editor. for more economical and efficient production. Few farmers are fitted by training or inclin- ation individually to pursue the modern meth- ods of cost accounting and profit reckoning in all branches of their diversified business. The simplest way out of the difficulty is to organize and secure the services of one who has been trained to.aid them in those partic- ulars. ’ Richard A. Pattee, the redoubtable leader of the New England Milk Producers’ Ass’n, had stated from the platform that one of the greatest obstacles he and his associates have to contend with in fixing prices with the Boston milk distributors is the lack of data by which they can prove the costs of production. It is to the farmers’ interest'to find out those things by getting together and securing the. services of men who are trained to find out. Has your county a. farm bureau and a county agent? If it is a dairy center, are there COW test associations to cover most of the herds? Are there bull associations when-- by the smaller farmers can secure the services of a better bull than they could afford to own alone? Is there a purebred livestovk associ- ation to further the interest in better cattle? Our government experts are forced to ad- mit that the average farmer the country over makes but a dollar a day. Careful investiga- tions of hundreds of farms in New York point to the fact that the farmer operating loss than 100 acres stands a slim chance of making more than hired man’s wages, while the census fig— ures show that more than half the farms of the country fall within that class. Federal investigation of 185 farms in Ohio, Wisconsin and Indiana covering a period of seven years, show that on those farms f‘ow farmers made large profits, a considerable number made a bare living and most of them received a labor income of less than $500 a year. Surveys in New Hampshire, Vermont and New York have shown that probably the majority of dairymen operate their farms at a loss. Now, while this may read rather discourag— ingly, remember every cloud has its silver lining. In this cashAhe lining is Found in the fact that in every group surveyed the coun— try over there will be found-a few farnwrs who are making a good profit which leads the investigators to the conclusion that for the right man with the right methods there is op- portunity for a good living with a good profit on the farms of our good old U. S. A. For the majority of our farmers this moans get together in organization for economical and efficient production. Every dollar put, in— to it will come back thickly padded with in- terest. Try it and see. H$py is He ,Who Wants Much Compared to Him Who Wants Nothing HAVE been reading the story of Cecil Rhodes. His life was full of adventure; it makes excellent reading. But the passage that interested me was this: , Riding to the Matoppos one day at the us- ual four miles an hour, Rhodes had not said a word for two hours, when he suddenly re- marked: “Well, le Sueur, there is one thing I hope for you, and that is that while still a young man you may never have everything you want. “Take myself, for instance: I am not an old man and yet there is nothing I want. I have been Prime Minister of (the Cape, there is De Beers (the diamond mines that Rhodes con- trolled) and the railways, and there is a big country called after me, and I have more mon- ey than I can spend. You might ask, ‘Would you not like to be Prime Minister againi’ Well, I answer you very fairly—I should take it if it were offered to me, but I certainly don’t crave for it.” At twenty-five he was so rich that he did not want for any of the things that money can buy; at thirty-five he did not want any- thing at all; at forty-nine he died. I hope I may never be guilty of writing any- thing intended to make poor people content- ed with their lot. ' , I would rather be lmown as one who sought to inspire his readers with a divine discon- tent. To make men and women discontented with bad health, and to show them how, by hard work, they can have better health. To make them discontented with their in- telligence and to stimulate them to continu- ed study. ‘ . To urge them on to better jobs, better homes and more money in the bank. But it does no harm, in our striving after these worth-while things, to pause m in a while and count your blessings. Prominent among my blessings I count the most joys of anticipation—the delights of erecting castles in Spain. . “There would be few enterprises of great labor or hazard undertaken,” says Dr. John- * “Musings of a Plain Farmer" ‘ HIS IS the farm- T er, all tattered and torn, who' milked the cow with the crumpled horn. , and who writes the “Musings of 3 Plain Farmer" which a.p- . pears every week in i‘ the Business Farmer. ; Of course, he doesn't l look very tattered or torn but you must remember that he was having his pict- _ ure taken. He doesn’t ' wear these clothes when he takes care of the stock or sorts the potatoes or When,— his wife feeds the calf. He‘s quite modest, —being nothing but a “plain farmer,” as his picture shows, but he has finally con- sented to let us reveal his identity. His name is Arthur P. Ballard. His farm is near Ubly, Huron County. He is 38 years old, was born at Davisburg where his par- ents still live. Farmers always of genuine American stock. He says that he has many “ups and downs," but “manages to keep a firm belief in God, the Constitution of the United States, Republican party, and organs ization among farmers.” He reads the M. B. F., “and likes it," also the Detroit Journ- al, the Michigan Farmer, County Gentleman, the Bible “a lime, and Shakespeare and Burns a lot." A little Scotch, eh? M. B. F. folks tell us they like Mr. Bal- lard’s “musings,” because he talks about the little homely tasks that every farmer has to do, and expresses many of the thoughts which nearly every farmer thinks. Again, we say, blessed be the power to think while we are performing the routine duties of life. Otherwise, work would be nothing but drudgery and life a weary ex- istence at best—Editor. 501}, “if we did not have the power of magni— fying the advantages which we pursuadc our~ selves to expect from them.” Blessed gift of the gods! How largely are they to be pitied who have it not. Aladdin did not have it. Nero did not have it. Anything he wanted he could have at the instant when he wanted it. And, for from finding joy in life, he found insanity and the detestation of mankind. If you would discover the really happy man of history, look for those who have strivon forward from one achievement to another, drawn by the power of their own anticipa- tions. They have made every day yield a double pleasure—the joy of the present and the dif— ferent but no less satisfying joys provided by a wise imagination. I believe in day—dreams. I am strong for Castles in Spain. I have a whole group of them myself, and am constantly building im- provements and making alterations. For twenty years I have not known what it was to be out of debt. Debt has been the greatest incentive in my life, because it has spurred me on to increased endeavor not to disappoint the friends who have trusted me and the men who have believed in me. I trust that before I am ready to stop I may have considerably more money than I now have. But I trust also that I may never have too much money. I should not. for instance, like to have as much as Mr. Rockefeller. Indeed, I feel an almost snobbish sense of superiority when I think of Mr. Rockefeller, and Cecil Rhodes and Croesus and all others of that ilk. For I have everything they have—a roof .over my head, two meals a day, work that I like and the love of good friends. And I have something else they do not have and can not know. I have wants—Michigan Tradesman. 6 (696) THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS EARLIER April 9, 1921 Consumer Fails to Get Benefit of Falling Prices Official Figures Show Farm Products Back to Pre-War Level but Food Prices Still High TATISTICS gathered by the Department prices of certain commodities also show thtt of Labor Show that the consumer has re.

American Meat Exports Decline Fifty-One—Per Cent. During‘1920 Production Drops in All Classes but Veal and Consumption Shows Falling Off HERE WAS less meat produced, less ex- ported, and less consumed in the United Stains last year (1920)_ than in either of the two previous years, although the consumption in 1919 and 1920 varied but little, the great change being in the exports. These and other facts were brought out in a series of tables recently compiled by the Bureau of Animal Industry, showing the annual status of the meat situation for the calendar years 1907 to 1920, inclusive. The data for each year in- clude: (1) The total slaughter which is divid- ed into federally inspected and nonfederally inspected, (2) The exports and imports, and (le the consumption, total and per capita, of each kind of meat and of all meats combined. The same information is given for lard separ- ately from pork. Some of the salient points indicated by the tables are as follows: Beef Declines Since War Beef growers made their supreme war ef- iort in 1918 and during that year sent to mar- ket 15,750,400 animals which yielded slightly over 7% billion pounds of dressed beef. This number has never been approached before or since. in two years the cattle slaughterings have fallen to 12,176,400 with an accompany~ ing decline of 14} billion pounds in beef pro- duction. The exports of beef products fell from 728,000,000 pounds in 1918 to 164,000,000 pounds in 1920. This was to be expected, as the United States for several years before the world war was not a beef—exporting country. South America and Australia are now the great sources of cheap beef and mutton and naturally will dominate the export trade in these commodities. Ten years ago the consumption of beef per head of the population in the United States is shown to have been 78 pounds, last year it was not quite 56 1-2 pounds; beef consump- tion in the American household has undergone a great change during this time, especially in reducing waste, and doubtless a. considerable part of the difference between these amounts formerly found its way into the garbage can. Veal Gains In Favor Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the domestic meat situation in recent years has been the increase in the production and consumption of veal. The demand for calf products has caused a steady increase each year for the last six years, and calves market- ed in 1920 more than doubled the number in 1914 and 1915. he, the consumption of veal in 1920 was little more than one-seventh that of beef and one—ninth that of 'pork, yet the fact remains that it is the only class of domestic meat that has made a consistent an- nual gain in recent years. New Zealand Lamb a Factor The table showing sheep and lamb slaught- er is marked by considerable irregularity. The slaughter was greatest from 1911 to 1914, af- ter which‘it declined for three years, then in- creased for two years, and in 1920 again do- clined. Exports and imports of mutton and lamb have been almost negligible until last year, when New Zealand frozen lamb carcasses were imported in large quantities, making an epoch in the trade. The total weight imported dur- ing the year was 101,000,000 pounds, nearly one-fifth of the total domestic production of both mutton and Lamb. It is not to be assum- ed, however, that this is the beginning of a permanent trade of such magnitude. The im- portations, in a sense, were merely an inci- dent due to the war. The New Zealand product, as well as that from other sources normally is absorbed by the English marke but the unusual condi- tions following the war caused the British last year to be overstocked, and the meat found an outlet in this country. This quantity of lamb, it may be remarked, is of somewhat less signi- ficance on the other side than it is here, since according to figures previously published, the average Briton consumes relatively about sev- en times as much mutton and lamb as the av— erage American, while the average for France is nearly four times as much. Consumption of lamb and mutton in the United States is only about six pounds per person per annum and is very small compared to beef and pork. It is smaller even than veal, of which about eight pounds per person is con- sumed. Pork Exports Slump Pork production in 1920 fell considerably below the high record made in 1919 when mar- ketings were unusually large, owing to the high prim (00m 0. We 19) tificially high level.

Also. when should blackberry bushes be transplanted? How does one go about it to graft a red ralmpler rose bush‘l—Mra M. I... Williamston. Mich. Early spring, just before the sap starts to flow is the best time to prune trees although they may be pruned at any time during their don mant period in the winter and early spring. Blackberry bushes should be transe planted in early spring as soon as the soil dries out sufllciently to handle. In transplanting these bushes, pre- serve as large a proportion of the root system as possible and in the case of transferring them from a spot in the garden to another, it is well to move them with as large a bunch of soil about the roots as can be retained, thus disturbing the root system as little as possible. Roots of all plants should be kept moist and free from exposure to the sun or wind during the operation of transplanting. Plant the bushes at the same depth as they stood before, firmly packing good top soil around the roots and leaving a little loose soil on the surface. Do not place ma- nure under the roots or immediately in contact with them. In regard to the grafting of a red ramble rose bush, where the top had died and the stock below the graft had survived. I would say that this may be done in early spring by se- lecting a shoot about the thickness of a lead pencil, making a longitud- inal slit just through the bark about one inch long and across the top of this make a horizontal cut through the bark about one-half inch long thus forming an incision like a cap- ital letter "T." From a Rambler rose bush, cut a bud with a strip of bark extending about one-half inch above the base of the bud and the same distance below. This piece of bark at the base of the bud should be about 1-4 inch wide and if any wood is removed in cutting the bark. it may be readily slipped out before inserting it in the stock. Slip this bark into the incision on the stock with the bud penetrating thru the longitudinal cut, and the inner bark of the bud coming in contact with the wood of the stock. After firmly pressing the bark on the bud against the wood of the stock, tie with soft string or rang to hold it firmly for 10 days or- two weeks when it will have set and the string can be loosened to prevent girdling. This budding should be done before growth begins. The other shoots of the stock must be cut away and af- ter the bud starts to grow, the stock which is above the bud can be prun- ed off—C. P. Halligan, Head Dept. of Horticulture, M. A. C. CLOSING NATURAL WATERWAY I purchased a piece of land some time ago. The Grand Trunk R R. had the old water course shut off from its natur- al course. When there was only one track there was a culvert under it and an open ditch on the other side, which is on another man‘s property. The R. R put in a water pipe in place of the cul- vert when they laid another track, but the ditch on the other side is filled up so the wat r can‘t run off my place. Whose place is tio clean the ditch, his or mine? Have I a right to clean ltT—G. H, 8.. Penfield, Michigan. If it is a public ditch you may file a petition for cleaning out but if it is just a natural water course neith- er you or any one else would have a right to go upon his premises to clean out the ditch. You could not eompel him to clean it out for your benefit. He could give you permis- sion to clean it' out—W. E. Brown, legal editor. FISHERS’ AND HUNTERS‘ RIGHTS What legal rights has fishermen and hunters along the banks of a river run- ning through a. farm, and what is their limitations?—Reader, Alma, Mich. In a case decided by the supreme court some years ago they said: “The plaintiff claims the exclusive right of THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER es Servic e Burs a hunting within the territory cover- ed by his patent from the state. He founds his right upon his proprietary interests in the soil under the wa- ter. He does not deny so long as the premises remain in their present condition that the public have a right of navigation over his land. but he claims such right is a mere easement and extends simply to a right of passage over his lands in such ves- sels as are capable of navigating» the water over the same. He in- sists upon the exclusive right to hunt and to capture all wild game while on his own premises, and that this right of capture is as much a right of property as the right to make any other use of his own prem- ises." The supreme court in that case said: “As owner of the fee of the soil under the water I think he is entitled to such exclusive right.” One would be a trespasser if he step- ped upon the banks of the river for hunting or fishing. It was held in another case that one who enters a private lake or pond, not navigable, in that instance about 100 acres, would be a trespasser even though he entered from a highway without stepping upon any solid land. Sec. 7694, C. L. 1915, provides: “That in any of the navigable or meander- in: waters of this state where fish have been or hereafter may be pro- pagated planted or spread at the ex- pense of the people of this state or of the United States, the people shall have the right to catch fish with book and line during such seasons and in such waters as are not otherwise pro- hibted by the lawsof this state." The next section is with reference to ac- tions at law for actual damages done. ——W. E. Brown, legal editor. P. M.

The population of this town is between six and seven hundred and ev Sunday night there is a large crowd eaves this station and a number of people from the country es- pecially, school children going back to school, and there is never any fire and very seldom any light. and no ticket of- fice open. What can b done about it? ~H. C_ B.. Merrill. Mic . The Public Utilities Commission has authority to compel public util- ities to provide certain conveniences for its patrons, and this matter was accordingly referred to this Com- mission. After a correspondence ex— tending over about six weeks the Commission advises us as follows: Again referring to the matter of the heating and lightin of the Pere Mar- quette station at Mgrrill. We have received a communication from the President and General Man- ager of this company in regard to the matter and he advised that upon inves} tigation it develops that they maintain an operator at this station until 10 p. In. each night with the exception of Sunday. And that it has been their practice for a year or more to close this station on Sunday, but the waiting room is left open and is provided with a kero- sene lamp which is always in shape to be lighted. There is also" sufficient fuel in the stove so that a fire can be made when- ever required. He further advises that ~ there are but very few passengers that board either train No. 35 due at Mer— rill ai 5:0: n m. or No. 36 due at 9:38 D. m. If the conditions are as outlined in this letter it would seem as though the arrangements should be entirely satis- factory.

M. officials who never have to wait in the cold at Merrill for a train, it is likely not satisfactory to those who do. It is the opinion of the editor that the P. M. should arrange with its agent to provide heat and light at this point, especially during the winter and we would“ suggest that a petition signed by the Merrill pat- rons of the road addressed to the Public Utilities Commission and the P. M., might secure them better con- veuiences.——-—Editor. BEWARE THE TRAVELING “SPECIALIST” In former years the country dis- tricts were infested with “special- ists” who guaranteed to cure every ailment to which the human body is subject. In the majority of cases these fellows were fakers, pure and simple, and have gradually been driven out of business. A few still survive, however, and by catchy ad- vertising and “guaranteed” cures, still succeed in catching a lot of people. Among these specialists may be listed the “eye specialist." Pos- sibly a few,—a very fem—of these men know their business, but it is probable that most of them do not. We do not know to which class Dr. \faction. L. 0. Gibson of Larium, Hough-ton county belongs.

SE’I'I‘LES The Collection Box receives more complains against fly-by—night tire companies than any other concern. Scores of these firms have sprung into existence in recent years and have caught a lot of victims by ad- vertising retreaded and second hand tires to run five thousand miles or more. These tires are sold at a ri- diculously low price, and the pur- chaser usually flnds after accepting and paying for the tires that they are almost. worthless, many of them blowing out after being driven less than five hundred miles. Among the tire concerns against whom we have received complaints might be men- tioned the Wexico Tire Company of 2653 Washington Blvd., Chicago; the Economy Auto Tire Co., of St. Paul, Minn.;_ the Rubber Center Tire Co., 1206 West 15th street, Chicago; Re- liable Tire & Rubber Co., 3453 Mich- igan Ave., Chicago. The Wexico company sold a tire to one of our Whittemore subscribers, but Sent the wrong size. The tire was return- ed to them but they failed to sub- stitute another one, claiming that the returned tire was not received. After endless correspondence and delay the subscriber sent the account to the Collection Box which soon dis- covered that the tire had been receiv— ed a full six months before, and which succeeded in securing a settle. ment for our subscriber only after threatening the Wexico company .with prosecution. ' A Dryden subscriber sent a check for $28.50 to the Rubber Center Tire Co, for two tires. The company shipped the tires C. O. D. Our sub~ scriber returned them and asked for his money back. The company re- fused to return the money on the grounds that they had not received the returned tires. After some cor- respondence the Collection Box suc— ceeded in convincing the company that they were entirely at fault, in shipping the tires C. 0.

II ‘\\’/,I \ . g; SELLING PRODUCE ON DETROIT MAJiKETS For several years I have been selling my butter and eggs on the Eastern mar- ket at Detroit but recently the officers stopped me and told me I would have to procure a license if I wished to place my produce on sale in that market. Can they force me to take out a license? Last Winter 1 butchered lambs and what we did not consume I cut up and sold on this market in from 3 to 8 pound par- cels and now these oflicers tell me I cannot Sell meat in that way but may dispose of it in “halves” or "quarters." Is there a law in Michigan regarding the abOVe?—J. D., Rochester. Any bona flde producer of farm produce is welcome to sell products of his own production, with the ex- ception of fresh cut meats, on the public markets of Detroit. However, he can sell hogs, veal, etc, by the carcass or “halves” but the officials will not allow the sale of meat cut in small chunks. Bona fide produc- ers are not required to purchase a license but in order to prove a man to be a producer it is necessay that he fill out an information sheet fur- nished by Municipal Bureau of Mar— kets, Detroit. If this sheet is filled out satisfactorily, they furnish him with a metal sign 10 inches by 12 inches bearing his name and address and the word “producer” in con- spicuous letters. The charge for this sign to all except those produc— ers who rent market stalls by the year is $1.00 which just covers the cost of the sign. To annual stall renters who pay their yearly rental in advance one sign is furnished free. The rules of the market are such that the farmer must bring the sign with him when he comes in to sell and must display same in his stall on the market. The bureau of markets wishes only farmers to sell on the public markets of Detroit and are taking these steps to protect bona fide producers and keep dealers and country buyers posing as farmers from obtaining the privileges of the farmers’ market—Associate Editor.

WINTERB‘IIL‘LD LIGHT & POWER OOMTANY I would like some information re- garding the Wintwrfleld Light & Power (70.. of (‘lare county. They are offering stock guaranteeing 7 per cent interest and I wish to know if it is a safe in— vestment.—-S. (7,, Marion, Michigan. The Michigan Public Utilities Commission cannot of course, guar- antee the success of the proposed electric light and power company. Whether the company will succeed depends in great part upon its man- agement. The Commission spent a great deal of time in investigating and considering this matter and finally concluded that there was a possible success considering success- ful management. - The Fargo Engineering Company, consulting engineers of Jackson, Michigan, reported on this project and I advise you to get from the Winterfleld Light & Power Company a copy of that report and make a study of it so that you will know for yourself what the probable prospects are. That report stated that it ap— peared quite probable that a con- tinuous 24-houropower of 214 kw. would be available, which would be a minimum daily output of about 5,000 kw. There is no question about the (Continued on page 10) TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW HERE HAS been some improve- ment in the general industrial and business outlook during the pm week; authorities differ, how- ever. concerning the real significance of some of the signs that seem to in- dicate the advent of much better times in the not distant future. A substantial revival is in progress in connection with the automobile and textile manufacturing lines and quite general resumption of building oper- ations is reported in connection with the construction of workingmen’s homes. Demand, in connection with the wholesale lumber trade, is said to be far from active but dealers are looking forward to early spring bus- iness to afford an opportunity which has been denied them for a long time past The steel and pig iron indus- try is somewhat improved, orders for manufactured products in which both of these materials are used, having led to the placing of fair-sued com- mitments; there is still a marked ab- scnce of visible preparations for the construction of large business build- ings for which American cities have been famous during the past 20 ycars. The wholesale reduction of wages {Ines merrily on, based upon the marked downward trend of living costs and the extremely conservative views held by the buyers of all man- ufactured products. The ‘outlook for the railroads is said to be somewhat improved by recent, encouraging re- ports of both freight and passenger earnings; it is universally conceded, however, that railway have in contemplation drastic wage reduc- tions and many sweeping economies, in connection with both administra- tion and operation, which will make it possible to get along without hundreds of men who are with them at the present time. The most discouraging phase of the manufacturing and general com- nwrcial situation, is the tremendous shrinkage of our current foreign trade, msulting, directly, from the reparations dispute with Germany, the British labor troubles and the in- ability on the part of Europeans, to buy our products, because of scarcity of money and advorsc exchange rate. The decrease in the exportation of farm products, during the month of February, when compared with the showing of the previous month. showed a shrinkage of $58,000,000; in connection with Inanufactured goods, the loss exceeded $100,000,- 000. In agricultural communities, trade is reported to be very dull, the moving cause being the extremely low prices at which all farm products are selling. \Vhilc drugs and medicines were about the last to feel the sharp price declines, incident to readjustment, these articles have been “muting the axe" lately in no uncertain way )lannfacturcrs and jobbcrs claim that the bottom has been reached in the wholesale drug market but they also disclose the fact that. the big buyers are holding off and demand- ing still lower prices before making purchases. On the New York stock exchange a chronic weakness has developed and many of the big leaders have been selling their long holdings for the purpose of securing money to do other business with. The motors. af- tcr advancing unevenly, are again tending toward lower levels. Call money is plentiful and rates, with a Very few exceptions, have ruled around 6 1-2 per cent. The banks of the country are working to a bet- ter financial condition every day; savings deposits are increasing and weekly balances show healthy trade conditions. If the points of differ- ence, between the Allies and the German government, could be set- tled upon some sort of a workable basis, foreign financial skies would soon clear, export clearances would increase rapidly and the predictions for a business revival this summer. which have been so frequently made, would be realized.

This man has been forecasting the trend of markets for several years, and with remarkable sucoess. He has based his predictions upon an exper~ ience extending over many years and as complete a knowledge of foreign and domestic crop, market and flu- ancial conditions as it is possible for anyone to have. He discovered by a little investigation that when the commodity index for food prices held its own or turned upward, cereal prices always followed and for sev- eral years he has followed this rule which has always proven correct un- til four or five months ago. Up to this period his ability to correctly in- terpret the future of markets was un- canny. Then he began to go wrong, WHEAT PRICESV PER 30.. APRIL 5.1921 AAQrado lDetreltwl-Chlcagoml N.

Last week this man publicly con- fessed his failure to correctly pre- dict the trend of the grain markets. He asked for no mercy from those who had wisely or unwisely followed his advice. He simply stated the fact that recent events had proven his opinions wrong, and offered no alibi except to say, “There is no precedent in economic history for such declines as we have witnessed. They are be- yond precedent and beyond reason in some regards." This man was not the only one in the United States who guessed wrongly on the grain markets. He has lots of company. The statistical position of wheat has consistently pointed to higher levels ever since last fall. Export business has been good, but not so good as expected. Indeed, virtually every influence which in normal times acts as a. stimulant on the market has been in evidence these last few months, but despite their presence grain pric- es'have steadily declined. No one attempts to offer a positive explan- ation for this anomalous situation because it can’t be done. All they can do is dumbly accept the facts that supply and demand and the oth- er factors which make a market have R oonn rmcas PER inuLAPnu. I. 105 V <3}ng IoEtroIi Ionic-col I. V.

In view of the fact that prio- es have steadily, though slowly, de- clined the last few months despite the paucity of supplies, what must have happened had the farmers 111L- ed the elevators to overflowing ear- ly in the marketing season. Of course, it may be argued that those who sold last fall are the gainers, and farmers who have held may feel inclined to blame themselves or someone else for not selling sooner, but the fact should not be overlook- ed that the grain market is in a very much better condition today than it would have been because a large per ' centage of farmers refused to sell on a declining market. In the light of what has happened since the first at last September it would not have re- quired more than a week of heavy grain marketing at any period since then to have smashed the mar“ completely and put it in a weak and nervous condition for the receipt of the new crop. No matter how you look at the matter the average farm- er and the grain industry in general is in a much better condition today because a large percentage of fann- ers held their grain for better prices. Some criticism will undoubtedly be directed at those who have urged farmers to hold their products. Yet. the fair—minded farmer who follow»- ed this advice will recognize that it was honestly given for an honest purpose, and that no one feels worse over the failure of these predictions than those who made them. He will recognize that after all these were only opinions, and that opinion can- not make a market.

Wheat Trends Lower At no time in three years has the future of the wheat market appeared more discouraging than at the pres- ent time. The last week has seen new low levels established on the crop and those who have been pre- dicting higher prices have finally surrendered to the inevitable and confess that the end is not yet in sight. The future market indicates that prices on the new crop will open somewhere around a dollar, unless unusual crop damage develops in the meantime. The condition of Wheat is excellent. Reports of damage by cold weather, drought and bugs have all been proven groundless, and bar- ring the unforeseen the abandoned acreage will be the smallest in years. Adoption of the emergency tariff law may have a temporary psychological effect upon the market, but it: will probably not be lasting.

But in view of the ’fact that only three months elapse before another crop will be on the market and supplies in farmers' hands appear ample for all needs, it is not believed that an improvement can be long sustained. 'Apsi 9, 192: was fact that all say prices at eon and oats are too low, these _ in mine. with one and two cent declines have traveled downward with wheat and these is nothing at present to encourage higher prices in the immediate future. Extensive liquidation has been going on in corn. Holders of large stocks as well as small dealers have been unloading their supplies upon a well supplied market. The inact- iveness of the market and a falling off of export buying has caused this heavy selling. If farmers continue to hold their corn as they have done during the past few weeks it may cause the market to react to higher prices but the result is hard to pre- dict owing to the contrary action of this year’s market. With the exception that activity is increasing in the cat market what has been said above about corn would do for oats. The increase of new business does not revive the market and prices continue to travel down the scale. Farmers are timid about offering this grain at present prices but what the outcome will be remains to be seen. Rye has held its own fairly well in the face of the downward trend of other grains. It fell in line for some time but a few weeks ago steadied up and has fluctuated around a certain figure with small losses or gains. Large receipts are lowering pric- es in the potato market which is quqiet and easy. Farmers unload- ing gall their surplus and consum- ers buying from hand to month are both working the market lower. ‘HAY EASY | No. 1 Tim.| Stan. Tim.I No. 2 Tim. Detroit . .

The month's cattle receipts, at Chicago, were 228,681, the second largest, for the third month in the year, since 1909. Calf receipts were 85,— 970 the largest for any month since 1919 and a new record for the month of March. 'Hog receipts, 608,011, were the smallest showing for March since 1914; during the month of March, 1918, Chicago got 975,169 hogs. Receipts of sheep and lambs were unusually heavy, the total at 429,637 being nearly double the showing for last March and the sec- end largest that ever came to hand in that month. - Early in March, prices ranged at the year’s highest range but the close was practically on the bottom for the month; the imminence of a packinghonse strike, the absence from the market of independent packers, who had been in the market all winter and the close of the Lent- en season were among the weaken- ing influences that made for declin- ing prices toward the close of the month. Cattle and hogs averaged the highest for any month in the year, so far. The average'price for DRIED BEET PULP NOW SO CHEAP Milk Producers canines word to do without it.

The month’s average 'price for hogs. 89.90 was 55 cents per cwt. above February; lambs ov- eraged 45 cents per cwt. higher at $9.65. Fresh eggs at low prices, lamb, veal and dressed hogs on the bargain counter and the public asking for a holiday dinner of chicken ‘ made plenty of trouble for the vendors of dressed beef in all parts of the coun- try last week. On Monday, of last week, steers sold 25 to 50 cents low- er than the close of the week before; part of this loss was regained as the week advanced so that the average showing for the week, in connection with light steer cattle, was about steady with the week before. Heavy steers were exceptionally weak and hard to sell, during the early part of the week but, later, orders for 1,000 steers for export purposes gave more life to the trade and hardened prices, somewhat The top for yearlings, in Chicago last week, was $10 and for mature steers, S 1 0.1 0. Butchers cattle lost 2 5 to 6 0 cents in Chi- cago; last‘ week canners and bulls closed 25 cents lower than the week before. Good stocker cattle were steady; others 25 cents lower for the week. Veal calves lost $1 per cwt. from the average of the week before. Sheep and lambs had a bad time. of it, last week, the latter showing a tired break of from 50 to 75 cents per cwt. for the seven days. Too many heavy lambs and too many shipments, direct to the packers, was the underlying cause of the decline. With the single exception Thursday, the hog market showed a steady decline all last week, flnish- ing, unevenly, 50 to95 cents below the range of the week before. On ’change, the .corn and provision pits showed a steady decline in prices all the week, the latter registering sev- eral new low records and the specu- lative provision futures following the hog maker down to new low levels. Owing to the absence of outside packer buyers, the Big 5 were able to pound down prices on York weights, greatly diminishing the “spread” between these and the heavy kinds which has been one of the notable features of the trade since the middle of February. Like all other markets, Detroit had a dull trade in cattle, last week, but a light run on Monday and a better demand put up prices from 25 to 60 cents per cwt. On all but canner cows and bulls which were steady. Calves were fairly active on Monday with an eleven dollar top. Lambs were dull at $9 to $9.50. Detroit hog prices have compared favorably with those paid at other points during the past week and on Monday of this week, mixed hogs brought $10.25 and pigs $10.75.

The Commission allowed the incor— porators common capital stock of $20,000 par, because of the water' power site and all the land transfer- red to the corporation, but only per- mitted $1,000 of it to be issued to them at this time, the Commission specifying that the other $10,000 par should not be issued at all until the electric light and power plant was constructed and in operation and upon a paying basis and upon the further order of the Commission. The corporation was authorized to sell the remaining $55,000 of com- mon capital stock at not less than par, all of the money to be used for capital purposes of the corporation. The Commission also, as you know authorized a bond issue. Now the whole thing is largely a question of management. The engineers who examined this proposition were of the opinion that the proposition was a practicable one, and in short that it was a better one than a number of other power propositions somewhat similar to it. It was our understand- ing that the plant would eventually serve Evart, Marion, Harrison, Mc- Bain and Lake City. -.

ONION MAGGOT Will you please print a receipt for killing the bug that lays the egg of the onion worm?——J H, R, Jedtio, Mich_ There are three common root—mag- gots making trouble at present in Michigan. One of these works on onion, one on cabbage, cauliflower, rape, mustard and, in fact, all of the members of the mustard family; while the third is a general feeder and may be found on many garden plants, although its favorite is seed corn in the hill, and beans. This latter species is the one commonly known in Michigan as the bean mag- got. The adults of these maggots are flies closely resembling house f1ies,“only, much smaller, and it happens that the adult files of the onion-maggot l-ove sweets just as dearly as do other flies. Moreover, it is possible to attract and poison the flies of the onion maggot before they lay the eggs which normally hatch into the maggots that make all the trouble. To do this, use about twenty small basins to the acre. Distribute them over the onion field to be protected, placing them on the ground, and keep these pans supplied with a lit- tle poisoned syrup from the time that the plants appear above ground until the danger is past~ The pane should be covered over with wire screen of a mesh just small enough to prevent bees from getting in but coarse enough to accommodate these 'small flies. A 1-4 inch mesh wire screen does rather nicely. This screen will also make it impossible for poultry and wild birds to drink the syrup. The poisoned syrup is made by dio- solving 1-4 of an ounce of codium or- senite or sodium arsenate in a gal- lon of water and adding half a print of New Orleans molasses. The ad- dition of a slice of onion makes the syrup more attractive to the flies and the addition of a tiny bit of purple analin or one of the common Dia— mond Dyes will serve as a warning color and discourage anyone from meddling. If one cannot get the arsenite or arsenate of sodium one can make it at home as follows: Boll in an old kettle which must never be used at- terwards for any other purpose, 1-: pound of commercial white arsenic and 2 pounds of 33.1 soda (washing soda) in 1-2 gallon of boiling water. (This is the same as Kedzie mixture stock solution without the lime.) Two tablespoonfuls of this arsenite of soda solution are sufficient for one gallon of the preparation. In order to make the poisoned syrup for onion maggots, add two tablespoon— fuls of this solution to one gallon of water and a pint of molasses—R. H. Pettit, Prof. of Entomology, M..A. C.

CROP FOR HAY \ I have eight acres of sandy and gravel loam that I would like to grow some crop on that would make hay of some sort, also improve the land. What do you think of oats and soybeans sown broadcast? Could alfalfa be seeded with the beans and cats? I have also four acres of the same kind of soil that I would like to sow for pasture. Could you tell me what will produce the most feed? Can Sudan Grasa be grown in this locality (Barry County) with suc— cess, using it for hay or pasturew. Be Cloverdale, Mich. Would not recommend the mixt- ure of oats and soybeans for hay due to the fact that the oats will be ma- ture from a month to six weeks ear— lier than the soybeans. 0n the Ex- periment Station field here at East Lansing we have secured very good results by sowing a mixture of two bushels of oats and twenty pounds of hairy vetch per acre. This mixt- ure should be sown as early in the spring as the seed bed can be pre- pared. Another g00d mixture con- sists of a bushel of oats and a bush- el of Canada field peas, sown at the rate of two and one-fourth bushels per acre. Rape is one of the best emergency pastures. If possible, make two or three sowings ten days apart and graze alternately. When grazed judiciously, pasture will be furnished until late fall. Dwarf Essex rape should be sown at the rate of from four to six pounds per acre. Jap— anese rape is inferior to Dwarf Es- sex.——C. R. Megee, Ass’t. Prof. of Farm Crops, M. A. C. DIVIDING OA’I'I‘LE Am working a farm on shares and have raised 13 heifers since I have liv— ed here. As I am going to leaVe in the spring they will have to be divided and what I want to know is this: There ar" 13 cows, 6 sisters and an odd one, 2 seven year olds; 4 six year olds; 4 fiw- year olds; 1 one year old and 2 three year olds. If the first party takes one of the seven year olds can I take the sister to her and then I take the other seven year old and the first party take sister to this one and so on until they art all divided?——F. J. G.. Jackson coun— ty, Mich. Unless your lease points out the manner of 'dividing the stock you will have to agree upon a method or agree upon some disinterested per- son to divide the stock. It is usual- ly done by agreement or by arbitrat- ors. If you can not agree upon any method you will probably have to ask aid of the court. You will need to consult an attorney—W. E. Brown, legal editor. . .. t... a..~.~:.:..___ .l. i i a : April 9, 1921 GIRIB NOT THE ONLY SILLY ONES E READ a lot and hear a lot t about the silliness of girls an’ ‘ young women—show foolish they act an’ how wild an’ reckless they dress—~how they paint an' pow- der an’ a whole pile of stuff—some true an’ some not—an’ we’re lead to think that Our young women are about the only silly things on earth, an’ ain’t hardly worth noticin’ ex- ceptin’ mebbe to say mean things about ’em or poke fun at ’em or something like that you know. But jest the same I kinda like our sweet little American girls—they’re good an' wholesome, they’re nice and likeable; they make good pals an' they’ll be the mothers of our future boys and girls some day an' we'll honor and respect ’em jest as we honor an’ respect the mothers of to- day—the best and finest mothers in all the world—our good American mothers, God bless ’em all! An’ say! When it. comes to bein’ silly, our girls ain’t got nuthin’ com- ing to em more’n the boys an’ the young men has. Did you ever stop to think that the young men are jest as much sticklers after styles as the young women be? Well you jest take a squint at em——see how they foller the styles in clothes, in the way they fix their hair—notice how many of 'em are wearin’ a little five cent mustache—jest a few weak, straggl‘in’ hairs right under their little noses—ain’t got the strength you know to raise a full sized mus- tache so they are satisfied with a small substitute, seems like, an' sometimes I wonder if they don’t wear ’em to make folks think they are men—~—to sort of distinguish ’em from the weaker sex——if women can be called weaker, which I sometimes doubt. Jest notice a young man when he is all dressed up,———pants so tight he has to put ’em on with a shoe horn or somethin’; coat cut to fit a tight laced corset model, hat all crushed an’ mutilated out of shape, shoes two sizes too small for him; a flashy necktie; hair out like a Chinaman’s—jnst a mop of it left on the top of his head you know, an’ then with his three cent mustache an’ a cigarette in-his mouth, he goes forth, all dressed up, to stand on the street corners an’ make remarks about the girls that happen to pass his way‘abou-t girls that forgets more every minute than he ever knew. Now I kinda hate to say harsh things about members of my own sex and denomination, but what I see I See and what I hear I’m sometimes sorry for—an' sometimes I get mad about it—depends on what it is an' who sez it—anyh-ow when I hear some the cheap little skates sayin' disrespectful things ’bout our girls, I feel like takin’ ’em by the scruff of the neck and slack of the pants an' give ’em a good moppin’ ’round and see if I can’t put some sense into them. / An’ often I wonder how our nice, dainty young women can put up with the treatment they git from these self satisfied, conceited young fellers with a lighted cigarette, blowin’ hole Ruben Spinach Sans THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER smoke in a girl’s face. They seem to be entirely lost, unable to navigate or to carry on any sort of conversa- tion—they seem to git all their in- spiration from the coffin nail 's-tead of from their natcheral intellect or from the young lady—she don’t seem able to inspire them to anything, but she puts up with the smoke an’ seems to think the young simp is jest about the right kind of a guy an' his opinion of himself increases so much that he has to go among his kind an' tell ’em what a hit he made with the girl an' what an easy mark she was for him. Yes sirree, our young men today are jest as much fashion plates as our young women be an' if some one should appear in knee pants ninety per cent of the young tellers would be wearin’ them in less’n a month an’ the only reason they don’t wear 'em an expose their legs through gauze sex or otherwise, is jest be~ cause nobody cares to see em and they are wise enough to know it. Get a bunch of‘young tellers to- gether an' listen to their conversa- tion! You won’t hear ’em talking ’bout work nor art, music nor edu- cation, politics nor religion—oh, no! such things don’t interest ’em in the least. They be talkin’ about the hits they’ve made with different girls—— about the latest cut in clothes or dis- cussin’ the relative qualities of the different brands of cigarettes. An’ yet the same tellers will tell how silly the girls are———what slaves they are to fashion——how unbecom- ingly they dress an' how easy they are—that is they will talk that kind of twaddle until they happen to meet the one an’ only—then it's differ- ent—~when a young feller meets the only girl he’s a changed man right from the start an’ in a little while he begins to git some sense into his bean an’ realizes how insignificant he really is an’ that girls are not cheap an' that they are not so easy as he had always thought. An’ if he amounts to anything at all the girl will be the makin' of him—~he will brace up, go to work—«do anything to prove to her that he is made of the right stuff an’ after a while the weddin’ bells will ring and another brand will have been snatched from the burnin’-—another young man will have been redeemed an’ a nice girl will have answered to her callin’—— to the thing she was created for, which same means, the remakin’ an' reclaiming of what is good an’ best in life—true manhood. But after all is said an’ done—- with all their faults an’ silly notions ——knowin’ the weaknesses of young men and women an’ also knowin' how strong an' splendid they can be an are, as they grow olderflknow- in’ all these things I want to say to you goods folks that I love the young folks of this country—I love to mingle with them; I want their friendship an’ I like their company -——they are more interesting to me than people of my own age can ever be for on our young folks of today depends all our future and they will not be found wanting for they were rightly born of good old American stock.

EVERY dairy farmer who handles a large volume of milk knows that turning the easiest running cream separator in the world by hand gets to be monotonous work before the day’s run is finished. The Primrose Direct Power Drive has simpli- fied greatly the matter of separation on a con~ siderable scale. This practical little addition to Pfierse efliciency can be attached to any hand-operated Primrose Cream Separator and does not interfere in any way with hand turn- ing of the separator. By means of this simple attachment, direct connection can be secured with an engine without speed—reducing gear, to a line shaft or portable electric motor. If your milk volume has reached such propor— tions as to make separating a real task, then it is most certainly the engine’s turn to turn. A 11/2 h. p.

Would not recommend the mixt- ure of cats and soybeans for hay due to the fact that the cats will be ma- ture from a month to six weeks ear- lier than the soybeans. On the Ex- periment Station field here at East Lansing we have secured very good results by sowing a mixture of two bushels of cats and twenty pounds of hairy vetch per acre. This mixt- ure should be sown as early in the spring as the seed bed can be pre- pared. Another gbod mixture con- sists of a. bushel of oats and a bush- el of Canada field peas, sown at the rate of two and one-fourth bushels per acre. Rape is one of the best emergency pastures. If possible, make two or three sowings ten days apart and graze alternately. When grazed judiciously, pasture will be furnished until late fall. Dwarf Essex rape should be sown at the rate of from four to six pounds per acre. Jap— anese rape is inferior to Dwarf Es- sex.——C. R. Megee, Ass’t. Prof. of Farm Crops, M. A. C. DIVIDING OA’J'l'hE Am working a farm on shares and have raised 13 heifers since I have liv- ed here. As I am going to leave in the, spring they will have to be divided and what I want to know is this: There ar0 13 cows, 6 sisters and an odd one, ‘2 seven year olds; 4 six year olds; 4 fiw- year olds; 1 one year old and 2 three year olds. If the first party takes one of the seven year olds can I take the sister to her and then I take the other seven year old and the first party take sister to this one and so on until they art all divided?—F. J. G., Jackson coun- ty, Mich. Unless your lease points out the manner of 'dividing the stock you will have to agree upon a method or agree upon some disinterested per- son to divide thevstock. It is usual- ly done by agreement or by arbitrat- ors. If you can not agree upon any method you will probably have to ask aid of the court. You will need to consult an attorney—W. E.

But jest the same I kinda like our sweet little American girlsa—they’re good an’ wholesome, they’re nice and likeable; they make good pals an' they’ll be the mothers of our future boys and girls some day an’ we’ll honor and respect ’em jest as we honor an’ respect the mothers of to- day—the best and finest mothers in all the world—our good American mot‘hers, God bless ’em all! An’ say! When it comes to bein' silly, our girls ain’t got nuthin’ com— ing to em more'n the boys an’ the young men has. Did you ever stop to think that the young men are jest as much sticklers after styles as the young women be? Well you jest take a squint at em—see how they foller the styles in clothes, in the way they fix their hair—notice how many of ’em are wearin’ a little flve cent mustache—jest a few weak, straggl’in’ hairs right under their little noses—ain’t got the strength you know to raise a full sized mus— tache so they are satisfied with a small substitute, seems like, an' sometimes I wonder if they don’t wear ’em to make folks think they are men—to sort of distinguish ’em from the weaker sex—if women can be called weaker, which I sometimes doubt. Jest notice a young man when he is all dressed up,~—pants so tight he has to put ’em on with a shoe horn or somethin’; coat cut to fit a tight laced corset model, hat all crushed an’ mutilated out of shape, shoes two sizes too small for him; a flashy necktie; hair cut like a Chinaman’s—just a mop of it left on the top of his head you know, an' then with his three cent mustache an’ a cigarette in-his month, he goes forth, all dressed up, to stand on the street corners an’ make remarks about the girls that happen to pass his way—about girls that forgets more every minute than he ever knew. Now I kinda hate to say harsh things about members of my own sex and denomination, but what I see I see and what I hear I’m sometimes sorry for—an’ sometimes I get mad about it——-depends on what it is an' who sez it—anyhow when I hear some the cheap little skates sayin’ disrespectful things ’bout our girls, I feel like takin’ ’em by the scruff of the neck and slack of the pants an’ give ’em a good moppin' ’round and see if I can’t put some sense into them. An' often I wonder how our nice, dainty young women can put up with the treatment they git from these self satisfied, conceited young fellers With 3- 1ighted cigarette, blowin' hole Rubec Spinach $8118; a THE MICHIGAN BUSINESSV FARMER smoke in a girl’s face.

Yes sirree, our young men today are jest as much fashion plates as our young women be an' if some one should appear in knee pants ninety per cent of the young tellers would be wearin’ them in less’n a month an' the only reason they don’t wear 'em an expose their legs thrOugh gauze sex or otherwise, is jest be- cause nobody cares to see em and they are wise enough to know it. Get a bunch of‘ young tellers to- gether an' listen to their conversa— tion! You won’t hear ’em talking ’bout work nor art, music nor edu- cation, politics nor religion—oh, no! such things don’t interest ’em in the least. They be talkin’ about the hits they've made with different girls about the latest cut in clothes or dis— cussin’ the relative qualities of the different brands of cigarettes. An' yet the same fellers will tell how silly the girls are—What slaves they are to fashion—how unbecom— ingly they dress an’ how easy they arcL-thalt is they will talk that kind of twaddle until they happen to meet the one an’ only—then it’s differ- ent—#when a young feller meets the only girl he’s a changed man right from the start an’ in a little while he begins to git some sense into his bean an’ realizes how insignificant he really is an’ that girls are not cheap an' that they are not so easy as he had always thought. An’ if he amounts to anything at all the girl will be the makin’ of him—he will brace up, go to work—~do anything to prove to her that he is made of the right stuff an’ after a while the weddin’ bells will ring and another brand will have been snatch-ed from the burnin'manother young man will have been redeemed an’ a nice girl will have answered to her callin’— to the thing she was created for, which same means, the remakin’ an’ reclaiming of what is good an’ best in life—true manhood. But after all is said an' done—- with all their faults an’ silly notions —knowin’ the weaknesses of young men and women an’ also knowin' how strong an’ splendid they can be an are, as they" grow older—know- in’ all these things I want to say to you goods folks that I love the young folks of this country—I love to mingle with them; I want their friendship an’ I like their company —they are more interesting to me than people of my own age can ever be for on our young folks of today depends all our future and they will not be found wanting for they were rightly born of good old American stock.

In othor words out of cvcry dollar taken from thc t'armcr the consumcr got 21 mints. Who got the rcst? t t i= ‘ ‘ \thn a gang of robbers hold up a bank the prtiss slits up a howl and the agents of justice are put- upon their trail. When capitalists loot the railroads leaving them upon the verge of insolvency and imperiling transportation, (ongrcss rushes to the rescue and hands over a billion dollars of tho public funds to restore the roads and make them ripe for a second looting. But when the packers, the grain Speculators and the financial powers that be, through propaganda, manipulation, conspir- av}: the withholding of credit, ctc., rob the ful'lilt‘l‘s in a single year of six billion dollars, 0‘ try ncWSpaper in tho land from the Podunlr l’ost to the Wall Street Journal prints col- moons of ed'torials cxcusing the crime as nec- essary “deflation” and urging the farmer to lo sweet and patient, and take his medicine like a little man. But the lootcrs are left free, unScathcd and uncriticizcd, to enjoy their plunder, with the exception of a paltry billion which they pass on to the consumer to quiet public inquiry. O O O I C There would probably be less cause for the farmer to complain over this situation had the Consumer secured early and complete bcnctits from the “deflation” in farm products. This would have cut the cost of living and made labor satisfied to accept a reduction in Wagon which in turn would have cheapcned the cost. of the things the farmer buys. But when the Department of Labor reveals that four mouths aftcr the farmers’ prices have reachcd pro. war level, and in some instances below. the consumer is still paying nearly sixty per cent above the pro-war level, anyone but a mutton- hcad will concede that both farmer and con- sumer have just cause for complaint. Nor are they the only ones to suffer. O t C i i Industrial depression neither proceeded nor accompanied the crash in farm prices. Go the contrary, it followed several mouths in the wake, and the reasons are clear. The farmer had been a spender during the three- year period when he received the highest prices in history for his products. But upon the instant these prices bcgan to decline he ’ " 'Mflimfiffif_wo_m.“..-”..-u ..- 1... THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER_ curtailed his expenditures sharply. What happened? The local dealer could not move his goods; he cut his purchases from the wholesaler; the latter followed suit; and in due course of time the manufacturer began to note a falling ofi in orders which he tried desperately to stem but Without avail. So he cut his purchases of raw material, closed his factory, and deprived his workmen of their jobs. ' And since all industry is more or less corrolatcd and dependent. upon its ditl'crcnt units, industrial depression and nationwide uncmploymcnt were shortly the order of the day. And all hccausc the “invisible pou'ors" had dccrocd that the prices of farm products should come down. 0 Q ‘ 1‘ R Congress has shown no disposition to inves— tigate this Great, Criinc against the American farmer, and restore if possible his plundcrcd markets. It has instead spent the greater portion of its time the last few months tinker- ing with an emergency tariff bill as a SOp to the suffering farmers. But an emergency tariff cannot heal the wounds of agriculture nor restore to the farmer his rightful billions. lt, may help in some small measure, but if the gangsters who rule the markets on farm pro- ducts can set aside the natural laws of sup- ply and demand and plunder the farmers of six billion dollars, they ought to be clever cuoug‘h to divert the financial benefits of the tariff law into their own pockets. If Con- gress wants to perform a real service for the farmer and indirectly the consumer as well, it should without further delay undcrtake a St‘tll't'tlllllg investigation into the causes for the domoralization of the farmer’s markets, and tho reasons why the consucmr has rcvcivcd so little benefit. from falling prices on farm pro- ducts. It. is an inescapable fact that some where along the circuitous route between farmer and consumer five billion dollars in cold cash has mysteriously disappeared. lt would seem a proper function of Congress to ascertain the identity of the thieves, and their methods of operation, to punish them and de- stroy their powcr, and to provide some lcgal gyroscope that will steady and stabilize the markets on farm products. Until this is done the nation can never feel safe from a. repeti~ tion of the cataclysm of 1920. Going the Woolen Manufacturer One Better IT IS TOLD in all seriousness that the pres- ent condition of the wool market is due to a devilish conspiracy on the part of the wool- en manufacturers to teach the farmers a les- son for daring to pool their wool for decent prices. Mecbe so, mcbbc so, but we doubt it. The same thing happened to wool that has happcned to all other farm products, only a little sooner. It was simply a case of over- production, not only in the United Statcs. but Canada, New Zealand, Australia and other countries outside of the war zone. While thcr‘c is no doubt but that the closing of the woolen mills had a bearish effect upon the market, it is extremely unlikely that such was the sole reason for the closing. A more plaus- ible explanation is the consumers’ “strike,” which simply ruined the clothing business for a time and resulted in wholesale cancellations at. the mills. Even so, if the manufacturers did hope by such tactics to discourage farm— ers from pooling their wool, they are being given a taste of their own medicine.- Ry manufacturing its wool into blankets and suitings the Farm Bureau is taking a step which will be denounced by many as radical and revolutionary, but which in reality is forced by necessity and vindicated by many economies. Herctofore farmers have sold their wool to a local dealer who shipped it to an eastern dealer who sold it to the mill which made it up into suitings which were sold to the wholesaler or manufacturer who in turn sold it in the bolt or garment to the retailer who sold it back to the farmer with a half dozen freight charges, a half dozen handling or manufacturing charges and a half dozen profits tacked on to the price. Under the farm bureau plan, the farmer ships his wool to his own organization which has it made up in a.

Simple and sensible, is. it not? From Lake to Ocean REAT ENTHUSIASM marked the close of recent hearings in Detroit on the proposed Lake-to—Occan waterway develop‘ ment, and it is predicth that as a. result of the facts sulnnittcd thc Commission will re- commcnd to the United States and Canadian governments that the project be undertaken as soon as he financial condition of the two countries will permit. \Ycrc the St. Lawrence river now open‘ to ocean—going vessels, it would moan millions of dollars in the pockets of Michigan farmers. Freight rates to east crn points of doiisumptiOn whch the most of this state’s crops go to are well nigh prohibi- tive, and in some cases entirely so. Lemons are being burned in California, corn fed to the furnace in IoWa, lettuce fields destroyed in Florida, and potatoes left to rot in Michi- gan because it costs more than the stuff is worth to ship it to points of consumption. An open waterway from Chicago to New York City or European points, with its cheap rates would have largely prevented a situation of this kind so far as Michigan and states far- ther west are concerned. The railroads can never carry an cheaply as boats. and the dif- ference in the rate when applied to the enor- mous crops and manufactorics of the middle west would represent many millions annually. Vhen boats from Europe can dock at lake ports and take on cargoes of farm products it will be a big day for American agriculture. The Rain Maker 0 DOUBT the scientist who first provcd that the earth was flat was acclaimed a very wise man, and he who first dared to sug- gest that it was round hailed as a fool or a herctic. The inventions and scientific dis- coveries of each generation show how little the previous generation really knew. We of this generation pride ourselves on being all- wise, or nearly so. So did the generation be— fore us. We have conquered the air, captur- ed the waves of light and sound and set them to work for us, and penetrated the depths of the sea. We have explored the bowels of the earth and revealed the glories of the heavens. The unattainable has been attained; the in- surmountable has been surmounted. What is there left in the realm of reason for us to do? So thought our fathers and their fathers and cvery generation proceeding. And yet Thom- Edison is working on a machine with which he hopes to talk with the dead. Impossible? So said our forefathers of the railroad, the steamboat, the binder. So said the present generation of the submarine, the aeroplane and the wireless. A man has recently cntcr- cd into a contract with some western farmch to artificially produce rain whcn needed. Hear the skeptics‘scot‘r'. The U. S. Weather Bureau says it can ’t be done. Science says it can’t be done. I don’t say it can be done, and yet,— stranger things than that have happened. The Meat Situation HE U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry has recently issued some most significant figures upon the meat situation in 1920 which every farmer may well take the time to digest. The report gives some idea of the tremendous development that must have taken place in the live stock industry during the war years to have provided the enormous exports which the report says were shipped from our shores in that period. But 1919 saw the crest of the export movement and since that time it: has rapidly declined. In .1919, 1,700,000,000 lbs. of bacon and hams were exported. Last year these exports had declined one-half and they are still dropping. A similar situation exists with respect to other meat products. It Will take some time for the live stock farmer to adjust his busin to the new order of things, and he cannot do it without consider- able loss. But it must be done and the soon or the situation is recognized and steps taken to cope with it, the sooner the industry will recover its balance.

But when their record is analyzed and placed along side the rec— ord of the eighty—three sheriffs of Mich— igan it fades into lnsigniflcanoe. For instance, in the article to which Mrs, Maxson refers as well as other articles with which the propagandists have flooded the state, the claim is made that from January 1918 to September 1920, a. period of two years and nine months, the state police made total ar- rests of 3,360. This means that each trooper arrested not over eight persons a year. During the year ending June, 1920, the sheriffs and their deputies ar- rested over 24,000 persons or a total of 60 arrests to the credit of each sheriff. It is also stated that during this period 923,000 gallons of liquor were confiscat— ed, 212 stills destroyed and “23.00000 collected in fines. In a. debate which I had with Senator Scully on the floor of the State Grange at Grand Rapids last December, upon this snbject, Mr. Scully stated the state police were self sup— porting because of the fact that it had been instrumental in collecting fines of this amount. After the debate was ov— (‘r I said to Senator Scully, "You know as well as I do that a large part, if not all. of those stills would have been con- ilsoatcd and these lines collected by the civil officers had the state police not been in existence”. His reply was. “Yes. but you did not say so in your talk." Let no one think for a moment that the state police have been enforcing laws which except for them would not have been enforced. In the vast ma- jority of cases they are, merely doing the work which the civil officers former— ly did and which they would continue to do if the state police did not step in and usurp their rlutirvs-—It‘.ditor_ VOTE 0N STATE POLICE M VERY much pleased with your editorials and we look for the FARUVR every week.

DICIFENDS CRANDALL’S POSITION B/ AY i HAVE the opportunity of expressing my views on the (‘randall and Leonard hot deal. As Mr. lussell says you have to have two sides to a question to have a clear understanding of it. here we have only one sltlv and must guess at the other. From what I glean from Mrs. llosherl‘s article and your editorial I can not agree with you. Mrs. Leonard or Mr. Russell. As I get this, the last sow was shipped on May 6th and was to far- row within 30 days. Mrs. L accept— ed and kept the hog over 60 days before making a complaint (dong enough for the sow to have farrow— ed, lost her pigs and all signs of far- rowing disappeared) then asks for her money back. If I bought a sow due to farrow in 39 days, if she did not show it em- tirely to my satisfaction I would write and tell him so at once. In about 20 days I would let him know again. One or two days before her time was up I would write him again. This would place me in a po~ sition where he could not question my word when I told him she had not farrowcd. True, we must admit we have rhi— honest breeders. We also have dis— honest buyers. The honest breeder does not want to be worked by a dis- honest buyer so the buyer should protect his honor by making his com- plaint early making it mild and as his convictions materialize make it stronger. At the present I am a buyer, having bought nine 0. I. C.’s in the past two years of different breeders. I have had two occasions for complaint. and got them each ad- justed satisfactorily. When I get a herd that meets my ideas I expect to be a shipper, and I want my patrons to let me know if they ever get an animal thatdon’t suit. but I want them to do it right soon after receiving the stock for I would be skeptical if they waited a month or so and then began telling me its faults. One thing more to protect the buy- er and breed honest breeders. If I wrote a breeder two or at the most three letters of complaint and got no reply my next letter would tell him the date that I would return the stock, putting the date far enough ahead so that he could get a letter to me if he wished. Hoping that you will give me the space this re- quires and wishing success to the ONLY real farm paper.—Ralph Dye, Emmet County. Why shouldn't we give you space for your letter?

When I am in the cities and see the hundreds and hundreds of peo— ple eating solitary meals from a chair arm, or rushing hither and thither with trays full of edibles, hunting up a table, a glass of water a napkin, a spoon and the mustard, I think how lonely and unsatisfact- ory it is, compared to the cozy. cheerful home table, with the home made viands prepared by mother herself or older sister, with father coming in and the children gather- ed round. It makes one extremely sorry for the men and women. the boys and girls, who from two to three times a day have to hunt around for something that looks or tastes or smells like home cooking. and never is. Well, this is a long preamble to the point of my story. which is just Setting the Table For the benefit of young house- keepers I thought a few suggestions might be in Order. The dining-room table should be placed in the center of the room and under a hanging light, so that there shall be no glare of light in the eyes of those around the table. If you have a new table or an old one nicely polished. cover it first with an oil cloth then with a silence cloth, on which the table cloth is laid. The oil-cloth protects your table against the occasional glass of writer that loses its equilibrium. Table mats or doilies look pretty and save your linen, also much time in ironing. but are not practical when many hot dishes are used. A table Well laid with good. attractively pre- pared. is a simple joy that we may all have. The eye must be pleased as well as the palate. A more order- ly table is possible if some kind of center piece is Used, a low bowl of floWers, a small growing plant or an attractive basket of fruit. This should always be low so that you do not have to peep at your vis—a-vis through shrubbery, as it were. In laying the silver the knife should be laid at the right, with the sharp edge turned in, the spoons at the right of the knife, bowls down. The glass of water at the tip of the knife. At the left. place the. fork or forks. then parallel with the fork the napkin, with the bread and but- ter plate or butter chip just above the fork. Butter Spreaders, if used, should be placed on the bread and butter plate, with the pat of butter. A salad if served with the meat course, is placed above the spoons At a formal meal when passing food always hold the food at the left of the person seated, so that he may use his right hand to help himself. Children should be taught to told their napkins only after mother has folded, hers, then when invited out they will not, make the mistake of folding the napkin before the host- ess does. And what is prettier than to see the little children stand at the table until the older people are seat— ed? It is just a little courtesy that shows good breeding. From the humble homes of the common people come the men and women who hold high places in this country, where brains and honesty count most of all. You little know what society your child may be thrown in during his life. so not only, that he or she may not be em- barrassed later in life by some awk- ward lapse of good manners. but also that they may be a‘credit and a joy to you, train the kiddies in the little courtesies of life, which are a wwuflwm». r._....m_»..—.-¢.."alum—w...-._.~W~mm*.momd-.~ -m.-._. . .. THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS .FAR‘VMER The Home A Department for the Women Edited by MRS. GRACE NELLIS JENNEY mighty fine lubricant, and help to make the machinery of every day ex- istence run smoothly and easily. POLITICAL POINTERS AY IN BLUE and buff. the G chosen colors of the National League of Women Voters, Cleveland. Ohio, will welcome the League when their second annual convention opens April 11. And this color scheme will be repeated in all the decorations at the hotels, on the bidges, and fluttering from automo- biles during the week’s stay of the delegates. Hears Mrs. Maud W. Park “Women are working for a broad constructive program that is based on the conservation of health and life," said Mrs. Maud Wood Park, chairman of the National League of Women Voters, before the members stead of ‘playing the game’ .” It adds, “no office in the entire state is so small that a bad office holder cannot make it a vehicle of great misdoing or that a good public ser- vant cannot use it to promote the in- terests of the commonwealth. “A particular appeal to women voters ‘is a feature of some of the announcements of the candidates. The League of Women Voters has, through its intention announced in some counties to place candidates on record, demonstrated the desire of women to cast their ballots with in- telligence and understanding.” To meet this demand the parties have - been counseled by their leaders to nominate only men of “worth, char- acter and ability.” “‘There‘s a reason,’ which gain- ed its reputation on a trademark, should be borrowed by politics from business," adds the Herald. “Every voter should be convinced that there RASS commence aacomin’ Thoo dc thawin‘ groun’ Evah bird date Whistles Keepin’ noise erround: Gain’t sleep in do mornin’ Case befo’ it’s light Blue bird an' dc robin Done begun to fight.

Mrs. Park outlined the particular measures which the State League of Women Voters is supporting, telling the legislature why they are asking their enactment. Michigan’s is the third state legis- lature before which Mrs. Park has been invited to speak. South Caro— lina’s legislature, the first before which she was invited to speak, re- considered its action on the Age of Consentbill, previously reported un- favorably, and passed it. Mrs. Jark also spoke before the Delaware leg- isla'ture, and the Michigan legisla— ture is the third. The Lexington (Ky.) Herald, in a recent editorial, advises “the voters who reap the harvest of good gov- ernment or stand the losses of mis- rule” to “keep their eyes open,” and predicts that “particular interest will be paid to the platforms of the can- didates who announce for office, as well as their character. their past political records, if any, and their willingness to serve the public in- mama'ssvsa'gstnwywas": u-!-=.L\'.-zswst'.1: ' ' 1'" Spring Fever By Paul Lawrence Dunbar (Cosc dis ain’t to scattah, But twist’ me an' you), I could stan’ de bedclothes, Kin‘ 0’ latah, too.

And, it might be added, “There’s the reason” for the League of Wo— men Voters. If, in the year of its existence, its activities have made party leaders counsel the nomina- tion of men of “worth. character and ability,” it has been a work worth while. It is proof of the reason for being. Organizes Citizenship Classes Seattle League of Women Voters of Seattle, Washington has organiz- ed a class in American citizenship which meets in one of the city’s big auditoriums from 10:30 to noon each Thursday, under the auspices of the Seattle Minute Women, which is a part of the League. The first hour will be devoted to questions and answers, and the last half hour a prominent speaker will address the class on subjects vital to the gOVernment of the United States. The League’s purpose in organiz- ing these classes is not only to reach the foreign element but to give a better understanding and realization of her responsibilities in the govern- ment of her own country to the Am- erican-born woman. The classes are open to all women and there is no charge. And now comes the Men’s Voters' League, modeled after the League of Women Voters, according to plans of St. Louis (Mo.) men who see the need for “clean politics." Evidently the League of Women Voters has “started something” which even men see the need of! i/l’iv " WHY WORRY? OURTNEY (in Pyle’s “Personal Hygiene”) says, “The brain is an organ which, under proper training, is capable of performing an immense amount of work, provided‘ only that the work is of a varied character and does not produce a corresponding amount of mental dis— quietude. The importance of the emotions, especially the depressing emotions, such as grief, anxiety, and worry, as factors in the brain ex- haustion, cannot easily be over-esti- mated." George L. Walton, M. D., has writ- ten an invaluable book on “Why Worry?” which succinctly and enter- tainineg sets forth the deleterious effects of this common malady. He quotes a remark of one of his col— leagues, who speaks of “the art of living with yourself as you are," as an expression well worth putting into practice. Wallace Irwin has described an ad— dict of the worry habit in the lines that follow: “ ‘Suppose that this here vessel,’ says the kipper with a groan, Shoul lose ’er bearin’s, run away and bump upon a stone; Suppose she’d shiver and go down when save ourselves we couldn’t. The mate replies, ‘Oh, blow me eyes!’ Suppose agin she shouldn't.’ " The nursery poet writes: “The worry cow would have lived till now . If she’d only saved her breath. She feared the hay wouldn’t ,last all day ,, So choked herself to death.” Worry takes a variety of forms. One of the most common is. the tend- ency to dwell upon the past, and painfully to retrace each step lead- ing to a wrong decision. Mercier says the greatest intellectual gift is the ability to forget. But one thot can not be driven out only by substi- tuting another in its place. Nature abhors a vacuum. The mock worry of a game is a good antidote for the real worry of life, unless the individ- ual makes worry out of the play-by taing it as hard work.———Food and Drug Monthly. # I 0 Right here one may remember the old quotation, "Man needs an avo- cation as well as a vocation.” Child- ren furnish their own, they live ’so largely in their play. Older people need a fad, a hobby, if you will, to keep life from being dull and to break the routine of work. There is music the best loved of all the arts. More appealing to some is the study of bird lore or, woodcraft; When we speak of reading, perhaps history should come first, it helps our logic and develops our powers of seeing life’s true values. Agnes Rep— plier says in her little book of es— says, “All that we know of man's unending efforts to adjust and re— adjust himself to the world about him we learn from history and the tale is an enlightening one." And then there is politics, always a lively issue and all the better for the attention of intelligent people who are not interested from an in— dividual financial standpoint.

L Why do some of our feathered flock each season journey to the South and others stay with us? There has been two theories ad- vanced for this, the more commonly accepted one is that years ago this continent swarmed with non-migra- tory bird life and in particular such sections as our own state the inher- ent love of home in our birds caus- ed them to become permanent in- habitants of our woods, waters and fields, but with the advance of the Arctic ice during the glacial period the severe weather, together with the lack of food and nourishment with which to sustain bird life caus- ed the majority of our feathered friend to seek a warmer climate and where food was more abundant. As the ice approached very gradually, now and then receding, these en- forced migrations—a short distance at first and for a brief time—increas- ed both in distance and time until migration became a part of bird life. The opposite theory is that the birds' real home was in the South and owing to over production and over crowding, on the receding of the ice during our glacial period, the birds sought less competitive and less thickly populated breeding and feeding grounds and would upon the approach of warmer seasons mi— grate north, but always during the fall and winter returned to their southern home. You may accept whichever theory seems most plaus— ible, but there is no question that the breeding ground of our average migratory bird is in the north and the breeding period in the late spring or early summer. The var- ious species of our wild geese and ducks find their nesting grounds in the vicinity of James Bay, while our migratory songsters, both seed eat- ing and insectivorous, rear their families in our midst; and it is a well accepted theory, inasmuch as there is no appreciable change in the southern climate at any season of the year, that the birds come north not so much on account of climatic changes as for the impelling instinct that warns them of the ap- proach of their breeding season. Birds migrate both during the day and night and it is often said that a number of the species in their mi— gratory flight in both directions ob— tain a flying height of a mile or more. As a rule the thrushes, warb- lers, oriole, tanagers and shore birds do most of their migrating at night, while duck, geese, swallows, hawks robins and others are day migrants. When one stops to consider that the smallest of our migratory birds, the Ruby Throated Humming Bird, weighing but a few ounces, will dur- ing its spring and fall migration make a sustained, continuous flight of 1,500 to 2,000 miles, it makes one wonder how such a. tiny creature. combating the elements, could pos- rns MICHIGAN nosmsss resents]: sully" cover this distance. Think of what this means. Aflfew ounces cf feathers and flesh braving the wind, air 'currents, storm and darkness, in its desire to reach its breeding or feeding grounds. The migration of birds is interest- ing; to some it means but the ap- proach of winter or spring, to oth- ers it is a demonstration of the rea- soning powers with which the Cre- ator endowed all of our birds and beasts—Albert Stall. Jr. in the Do- troit News. BEHIND THE scum m TIHZ‘YMAKETHIW (Continued fm page 4) the work and the expense involved where program pictures run from 500 to 709 scenes, one following the other in such rapid procession be- fore the eye that the vision barely grasps one scene before “other un- folds! Shooting each scene so many times may appear to be an ex- travagant and expensive habit, but it has been found to be a safe one for reasons too obvious to relate. “Better be safe than sorry," ap- pears to be the motion picture slogan when pictures are being taken. The material is developed at once, and finishd in what is called the projection room. The day after a scene is “shot” or taken, the direct- or, the star and the production man- ager are able to see just what has been accomplished. It required six months to produce the “Queen of Sheba" another re- cent Fox release. Sets or scenes 200 teet‘l‘iigh had to be erected out of doors before the work in band could be even considered. The tower, with its circular outer driveway, where the famous chariot race takes place actually towered two hundred feet high. The dungeon and the old well were all out of door sets, the work of carpenters and plastic art- ists. A curious combination of art, pro: fession, commerce, industry, labor, technique and a keen knowledge that must be at once historically and etho- logioally true, a knowledge of lands and of peoples, enters into the mo- tion picture industry, for it is not only necessary that the directors of motion picture productions be well versed in the life ethics of the people of all lands, but this knowledge must be a true knowledge, in order that the realism of the production may not disappoint nor offend the fund of world lore hidden away in the minds of the moving picture fan. For the latter is a severe critic and, a true one! - » STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP. MAIL AGEMENT. CIRCULATION. ETO.. REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS 0?

Reading. pork production is gaining rap- idly in popularity and isdisplac- lug trough feeding on many farms. By its use the average farmer will obtain as good if not better results than by trough feeding, and at much less expense of time and labor. A self-lfeeder is simply a device by means of which a supply of grain or other feed is kept constantly avail- able, 8. fresh supply flowing down into the trough from the hopper above as it is eaten, the hopper be- ing large enough to hold sufficient feed so that it will not need refilling dftener than once or twice each week. There are a number of types of feeders in use. The accompany- ing illustration shows the dimen- sions of a feeder which has proven quite satisfactory at the College. There are many reasons why the self-feeder is to be recommended. It is well known that pork can be pro- 'duced much cheaper Where pasture crops are used than in a dry lot or pen. In many cases there is no past- ure close enough to the buildings for trough feeding, so the hogs are kept closely confined where the most eco- nomical gains cannot be expected. By the use of the self—feeder dlstan‘t pastures are made available, there- by enabling cheaper gains to be made. Much less time is required to feed hogs by a self—feeder than by the trough method. While the feeder should receive some atten- tion every day or two, to see that it is properly adjusted and that the different feeds are available, still this requires much less time than that necessary to carry or haul feed twice each day. With the high cost of labor this is an important item. Self-feeding is full feeding, a larger amount of grain being eaten than in trough feeding. For this reason it Is better for growing and fattening animals intended for the slaughter. Hogs intended for breed- ing purposes are liable to become too fat, especially after they have reached a weight of say “125 to 150 other lot of the same number trough fed gained 100 pounds on 280 pounds Mich. of the same feeds, a very favorable ————————— showing for the former m'ethod. HE USE of the self-feeder for Both lots were on rape pasture. Such cheap gains could not have been made without good pasture. Satisfactory results cannot be an pected unles's suitable feeds are pro— vided. Growth producing feeds such as mlddlings, tankage or oats must be supplied as well as the fat- tening feeds, such as corn or barley. A balanced ration of these. may be put in one compartment, but it has proven good practice to have a sep- arate compartment for each feed. In this way the hogs will balance their own rations. Whole or ground grain may be used, the opening being rec ulated to suit the different feeds. The flow of feed is affected some-v what by weather conditions and as some may be rooted out of the trough at times the self-feeder should be set on a. platform so that this feed may be picked up by the hogs later. It is also advisable 0 build the cover so that as much ra n is kept out of the trough as possible. It'must not be thought that the self-feeder is a “panacea” for all hog feeding troubles. For cheap gains, pasture, shade and plenty of fresh water should be provided, and a. bunch of hogs that is worth feed- ing is worth looking at at regular intervals to see that they are doing well and that the self-feeder is sup— plying the dlfferent feeds as needed- FARMERS -BUY TY PE W RITERB Business farming has become a new profession. For years the larg- est industry in the country, it has now become more than a haphaz- ard production unit. Farming is adopting scientific distribution. Selling is becoming as important as producing.

(Continued from page 6) during a part of that year, includ- ing the highest ever paid for live hogs. Nevertheless, the consump- tion of pork was slightly greater in 1920 because of the heavy decrease in exports. The exports of bacon and hams fell off more than one-half the totals for these two items in round figures being 1.787,000,000 pounds sent abroad in 1019 and 822,- 000,000 in 1920. The exports of lard, however, almost held their own, decreasing only 20 per cent. This was because Germany, our second- best customer for this commodity, was again in the market for quan- tity and took 128,000,000 pounds, which was Within less than 1,000,000 pounds of the total taken by the United Kingdom, always the chief consumer. All Meats Combined Show Decreasp The highest recorded production of all meats combined occurred in 1918, when slightly over 18 billion pounds (excluding lard) was proL pared for home consumption and ex- port. In the two succeeding years the production declined at the rate of 1 billion pounds a year. Owing to decreased exports the consumption in 1919 and 1920 was nearly sta- tionary.

When Mr. Barnes had finished the widows and orphans had faded from the pros- pections and the “shining lights” of “large interests” were very percep- tibly dimmed. The proposed amend- ment was reported out by the house committee and when it came to a vote received 64 of the 67 votes nec— essary to pass. It was then reconsid- ered and laid on the table from which it will probably be taken and passed before this reaches the M. B. F. readers. Next comes the bat- tle in the senate which contains a larger percentage of lawyers and bankers that the house. Write your senator about it.

Edward G. Read of Richland, chairman of the committee on Agriculture in the house, to intro- duce a. bill considerably strengthen- ing the present state law for the con- trol of bovine tuberculosis. While some of the provisions of the bill may be regarded as extreme, it is the opinion of the State Live- stock Sanitary Commission that such drastic action is necessary for the control and stamping out of this di- sease which seems to be on the in-, crease in Michigan and has resulted THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER In great loss to cattle men, especial- ly the breeders of dairy and pure bred cattle. - The proposed amendments to the present law are in part as follows: “It shall be unlawful to oflfer any cattle at public sale for breeding or dairy purposes except when the cat- tle have been subjected to the tuber- culin test not more than 60 days prior to the date of such sale by a veterinarian approved by the state or federal government and found to be free from any contagious or infec- tious disease." “It shall be unlawful to offer any cattle at any public fair in this state for exhibition purposes except when a certificate of health, including the tuberculin test, for each head of cat- tle to be exhibited, issued not more than 90 days prior to the first day of said fair, signed by a graduate vet— erinarian licensed to practice under the laws of the state in which he re— sides and who is approved by the state or federal government, showing such cattle to be free from any con- tagious or infectious disease shall be attached to the entry blank and filed with the secretary of the fair. “Provided, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to herds under state or federal control and which are fully accredited with on: successful test without reactors be— ing found." ' FARR! BUREAU BUY U. S. Am HARNESSES Michigan State Farm Bureau mem- bers are now in line with farm bur- eau members of other states who are buying surplus government harness- es through their respective farm bu- reaus at prices said to be less than hal ftheir actual value, says the state farm bureau in announcing that it ha saccepted an arrangement with an agency handling the war depart- ment’s surplus artillery harnesses for their distribution in Michigan. The state organization secured about 1,500 sets of double 'harness com- plete, in two styles, for Michigan farm bureau members. TREBLE SUPERPHOSI’HATE NOW SOLD BY MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU It will be of interest to our read- ers to know of the arrangement made by the Aanaconda Copper Min— ing 00., (the largest copper produc— ers in the world) with the Michigan State Farm Bureau by which farm— ers of Michigan may secure “treble superphosphates” direct from stocks carried at convenient points through- out the state. Treble superphosphates is made from the waste sulphuric acid, which has been an economic loss hereto; fore, plus the phosphate rock now found so abundantly in Idaho and Montana where the company’s smelt- ers are located. This product is about 3 times as strongg and there- fore requires only about 1-3 as much to be used as ordinary low grade 16 per cent acid phosphate. The economy of using this fertilizer will be very evident and either carloads or less than car loads may be order- ed on either of which a low price is made besides special arrangements to meet local freight. Any farmer of Michigan, whether a member of the farm bureau or not may order this fertilizer either from the Michigan State Farm Bureau at 223 North Cedar street, Lansing or direct from the Anaconda Copper Mining Co., 111 W. Washington St.. Chicago. Any reader of the Busiess Farmer who is even interested in fertilizer and wishes more information about this new product will do write to the Anaconda Copper Min- ing 00.. whose advertising is to be found on page 9 of this issue.

Tested - 60 Day Guarantee w... -111 - April 9, 1921 ] MACK’S NOTES It is quite universally conceded that the supply of finished hogs in the northern part of the country is running very low at this time but the bears in the hog and commodity mar- kets have been predicting a big late hog movement from southern states; offsetting the above, comes the in- formation that the big packers have been obliged to close their southern plants because of the lack of animals for killing purposes. 0 C O Texas cattle growers are sending cattle in large numbers to northern pastures. The railroads that trans- port cattle from the southwest to the Canadian northwest have announc- ed a specialrate schedule for these cattle during the next 90 days; in the opinion of the writer, the ruling cited above is the beginning of a program which will mean lowered freight rates for live stock in gen- eral and all farm products. O O C The opinion seems to be quite un- iversal, that the recent bear program in the Chicago live stock market. and in 'the provision pit of the Board of Trade, was engineered by the big packers for the moral effect it would have on the wage dispute pending at Washington, D. C. The supposition is that labor will be easier to deal with if convinced that food products are to remain low, indefinitely; now that the wage question has been ad- justed, bullish tactics will be adopt— ed in order to help in the mere-han— dising of the big stock of lard and cured meats in packing house cel— ars. H. H. Halladay, live stock corm- missioner in charge of the work which has for its ‘ultimate purpose the stamping out of bovine tubercu— losis, has purchased an educational film illustrating the process by which bovine disease can be communicated to human beings; this film will be sent all over the state to help in creating sentiment favoring the work of the department. t t O Scrub bulls in the devastated re- gions of France are to be replaced with 1,000 purebred Holstein—Fries- ians, according to Dudley E. Waters, president of the Michigan Holstein Breeders’ Association. Mr. Waters, who recently returned from Europe, says that there are in the war—swept sections approximately 112,000 cows and heifers. Several state associa- tions are co—operating to supply the registered bulls required. III II t Armour & Co., have just com- pleted at Sao Paulo, Brazil, a dup— licate of their plant at South St Paul, Minn. As reported by Allen Walker, manager of the Internation— al Trade Department of the Guar— anty Trust 00., Of New York, the plant covers 25 acres with an out- lying property of 5,500 acres and has a capacity of 2,000 cattle and 6,000 hogs a day. 0 t O Basing his statement on the num- ber of breeders who record females, 1 Frank D. Tomson, editor of The Shorthorn in America estimates that the number of breeders of register- ed Shorthorns has increased 50 per cent in the last three years. The majority of these breeders are farm- ers or owners of small ranches. III II: ll At the recent meeting of the board of directors of the American Jersey Cattle Club resolutions were passed endorsing the 305~day test as “the normal test of a Jersey cow;" de- claring strongly in favor of the ’strict enforcement of all state and federal laws and regulations for the protection of pure-bred dairy cattle from tuberculosis; recommending that all cattle from outside the state he tuberculin tested before being dis- tributed over the state; agreeing that the club would pay no premi- ums at any show which does not on- force the rule requiring a certificate of health from all entrants; and recommending that the club ofler no premiums at shows which receive on the Showgrounds cattle other than from accredited herds. A in 9, 1921 Veterinary Dep’t l Dr. W. Austin Ewalt, editor - BONE SPAVIN m What will cure the lameness I bone spavin? 1 have a horse that does not limp when working him on the farm, but when I drive him on_ the mail route. 27 miles, the next morning he is so lame he can't hardly step on that toot—R. G., White Cloud. Mich. In the treatment of spavin, in all cases the animal should be given a long rest; remove the shoes, it is better to place the animal in a loose box having a soft floor than on past- ure; by doing this the animal is not able to move about a great deal, and the joint is thereby kept quiet. Clip the hair close and apply the follow- ing blister: Red Iodide of mercury, two drams; eight drains of lard, mix thoroughly together for at least ten minutes and apply about one half of the entire amount rubbing well in for fifteen minutes, COVering the whole inner surface of the joint, ap- ply again in twenty-four hours with- out rubbing and after four days ap- ply lard daily until hair starts. Re— peat the above treatment in four week’s time and allow the animal to remain in the loose box for at least two months. Should this fail to ac- complish the desired results, line- firing is the last and only resort. 'AZO'I‘URIA My father had a horse about nine ears old that got paralyzed in the ins. He got a. veterinarian for it and the first day afterward the horse seem- ed all right, It got up alright but then the doctor came over again and he gave some different medicine and the horse died within twenty—four hours after- wards My father claims this second medicine did the job. Would you kind- 1y let me know where I could send this medicine to have it analyzed?~——W. K.. Covington. Mich. Your horse no doubt had Azoturia. A disease that is very unsatisfactory to treat. In a great many cases the animal Will get up during the first twenty-four hours, only to go down again never to get up. No qualified veterinarian will give an animal suf- ficiently strong medicine to cause death. Should you wish to have the medicine analyzed, I would suggest you take the matter up with the Vet- erinary Department at the M. A. C. BRAIN TROUBLE I have a 3-4 Jersey, 1—4 Durham cow coming 6 years old in April, had 4th calf, 23 December. 1920, A few weeks aftcr dropping first calf she had fits or spoils of some kind. She would seem to get weak all at once and stagger a little and either lay down or fall down where she would stay for a while. some— timcs 1-2 hour and sometimes longer. If in pasture she would hold her muz- zle on the ground; if in barn would rest it on top of manger, then would grad— ually raise it and turn head always to left side and remain in that position for an hour or more when she would Seem to recover herself and Immediate- ly go to feeding again as usual. The first two years she had this trouble it came but a few times, but they are coming more frequently and are more severe and last longer. She is normal every other way and gives a good flow of very rich milk, is regular In her sea- sons and a good feeder but I am anxi- ous about hen—N. 8,. Cheboygan Co., Michigan. This is an obscure case of brain trduble and I doubt very much if any treatment will do much good; if the following treatment does not relieve the condition I would strong— ly advise you to sell her for what she will bring. Potassium iodid, two ounces, add sufficient amount of Fowler's solution of Arsenic to make a pint and give one tablespoonfml in a little water three times a day. \VORMS I have some pigs that pass worms that are 10 or 12 inches long. What can I give them to rid them of the worms7—E. Rodney. Mich. These worms are known as the Ascaris Suum; these parasites are round and pointed at either end; they are white or pinkish in color, and vary from six inches to twelve inches in length. Usually they are found in the small intestine, though they may occur in the large intestine and even in the stomach. They at- tach. themselves to the mucus mem- brane by means of membranous teeth, and produce irritation to the mucus membrane as well as provid- ing an avenue of entrance for a va- riety of bacteria which may produce inflammatory lesions and even ulcer- ation“ Prevention is far more sat- THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER EEREFORDS .

Hal not stepped on it since about 3 or 4 days after it was cut. It continuum discharges a matte fluid from a ma hole In the joint. ts are all heal! fine except this place. On advice 0 veterinarian am using Iodine on the sore ovary day. What do you advise me to do for him and with him? Would he be of any use after he got better? He is In good condition otherwise—D W,, Elk- ton, Michigan. Your horse has a chronis, infected, purulent joint. The only treatment for this is radical; the treatment I will outline is usually successful un- less the patient has become greatly emanciated and weak, no treatment will be found successful where the patient is down and refuses to eat. If you will carry out the following procedure, I am quite confident the animal will make a complete recov- ery. Thoroughly cleanse the region of the joint involved, shave and scrub. Irrigate the openings into the joint, for at least ten minutes with a solution of mercuric chloride cor- rossive, 1 to 3,000 solution, at body temperature. This must be done with utmost antiseptic precautions. Having thoroughly flushed the joint cavity with the solution, for which purpose a fountain syringe is best, it should again be flushed for consid- erable time with normal salt solu-~ tion using boiled water of course, at body temperature. These washings should be continued until the fluid comes out clear and free from puss flakes. It may take a half hour of continuous flushing to. accomplish this. When this has been accom- plished the interior of the joint may be considered surgically clean and should be immediately injected with the following suspension: two drains red iodid mercury, and six ounces of pure olive oil, mix and shake well before using.~ This would be injecto- ed into the cavity slowly and be sure it is being injected into the joint. As soon as this is done the entire joint should be swathed in clean ab- sorbent cotton, to be held in place by bandages, which must be kept clean and this dressing should remain in place for two weeks. In nine out of ten cases a complete recovery will have been effected when the dress- ing is removed at the end of this time. In rare cases it may be nec- essary to repeat this treatment. It is very important that the entir. joint be heavily swathed in cotton. which must be held snugly. yet not tightly in place. The patient must be kept quiet as possible until the two Weeks have elapsed, and during this irie should receive a. dram of hexamethyienamine in a pail of drinking water three times daily. Follow this treatment closely for two weeks and report your results to. us. We enjoy your paper very much, cu- ery member of the family.
