These grades for the present will both come under the fisame price, but the object of grad— ing is to school the buyer in a cor-> rect knowledge and also show the ~farmer the difference between his 'cream and his neighbors, when such ditferenc'e exists. Simultaneously, a series of letters are going out to station operators and another series to the farmers. It is through this medium of con- tact that the Association is able to clinch the importance of its cam- paign. These letters entitled “Mon- _ ey Talks” are going out regularly twice a month to about 50,000 cream selling farmers; and the few short, the Mulder utterances hold the attention. from - time- time of their readers.

The story of Michigan’s venture into the .manufacture of woolen products as an outlet. for wool in addition to the connections already established with manufacturers, is told by A. ; J. Hankins, in charge of the pool. ' * As soon as the wool market began todrag’, says Mr. Hankins, the Michigan State Farm Bureau wool department opened negotiations with a women mill in the state for the manu- facture of the lower grade fleeces in the pool into horse blankets and automobile robes; A contract was let Which provided that the wool pool should furnish thewool and pay for its manufacture into blankets on 'a cost basis.

His wool went into the blankets at an advanced valuation, which brought him more than one-third the best price it would have gotvotherwise, even though it had gone to the manufacturer correctly graded and sold on its merits. Dead wool, tag ends and other infer— ior grades which ordinarily would have sold for nine cents, brought the grower sixteen. About four carloads of wool have gone into the manufacture of blankets to date. Then the wool department went into the manufacture of high grade bed blankets, both double and singles. Better grades of wool went into these blankets and brought even a better price to the, farmer.

Chairman State Tax Commission on incomes of $7,000 and in excess thereof. The Massachusetts income tax law is not a general income tax, but a tax upon four spec- ified classes of personal income, with flat rates upon each class varying from one and one-half per cent. The New York rates upon personal incomes are one per cent upon the first $10,000 or, fraction thereof,» net income above 'exemp- tions, and two percent upon the next $40,000 or fraction thereof, net income, and" three per cent ,upon all net income over $50,000.

Wool going into blankets has ' brought the grower eight to ten cents a pound more than could have been gotten other-wise, says Mr. Hankins, and the manufacture I'of suiting will increase the growers’ return‘on wool going into suitings by at least fifty per cent. The wool department expects topsoil? half to a million dollars worth of manufac- . tured virgin wool goods this year, says'Mr. Hankins. ‘ The suitingsproposition is now in the last stages of its development. The blanket mill has taken over the manufacture of thesuit— ings on about the same arrangement that fea- tured the blanket deal. A wide assortment of samples has been prepared and is nowgo- ing forward to the farm bureau locals and co- operative associations of the state. They "are accompanied by charts which make the Incas- urement for a tailor-made suit a simple mat- ter. ' These virgin'wool suitings will cost the wool grower and the consuming public of Michigan far less than the wholesale price on An arrangement has been concluded with a big Michigan tail—_ oring house to make the suitings up to Order at a nominal cost. This year the Michigan 'wool grower will be able to buy the finest .vir- gin wool suit to be had at less than half the cost of an ordinary suit. Every suit soldwill be giving the Michigan wool grower a better price on his wool. All business on manufac- tured goods is done from the state office through the farm bureau locals and coopera- tive associations throughout the state. Sales are also made to individuals.

This frosted area extends from the Virginia-Caro- linmflhne southward into the ‘Alleghany Moun- taiiisi‘iSWestwar-d through middle uArkansas to 'A _ I a . . . _ ‘ and Westward who still have a crop on their the‘LRocky Mountains, and northward well up , inthew Jersey, Pennsylvania, and westward through, middle Ohioto Nebraska. 'Examin: ations-by department experts and reports from :e‘xperience‘d fruit grOWers have 'shown alarm "this great area only a remnant of the crop offiorcha'rd fruits is left. North and east of this area, in the New England States, New ‘York, and the Lake Region, there is still a fair prosimct for a good set of Orchard fruits ex- cept in certain rather restricted localities. If the weather in this northern territory continues favorable during the next 10 days to “two weeks, the prospect of a profitable crop is creell'ent, as the probability of good demand“ for good quality fruit from that region has rarelylbeen better. i ' ~ Under, these conditions it is of unuSual im— portance that every effort be made by growers to produce a crop of fine quality, and since it has been repeatedly demonstrated that only, by thorough spraying Can the full yield and the maximum Quality he prmluced,‘ thorough Epragviiig‘ this season is likely to be the most important feature ofyorchard practice. ' Peachgrowers in New England, New York, How to Produce the Maximum Yield of Best Quality Gemini-Silage Date a Planting an'd Variety of Seed Used Important Factors Which Determine Tonnage and Quality of Yield; _ _ HE TIME to plant silage corn depends to a certain degree on the place it is to‘ oiwupy in the crop rotation and the consider- ation given economy of production. On some farms due Consideration must be given the harvesting period audits harmon- ious adjustment with other crops that are be- ing grown and require harvesting about the same time. However economical production of silage is becoming the prime factor of im- portance with more farmers every year. Economical Production When the object is-to produce the greatest possible tonnage per acre of the best quality silage it becomes necessary to make use of ev- ery favorable day the season atlords. Whetln er this is done or not will'be determined by two factors. i. e.: lst, date of planting; 2nd, iaricty of'corn planted. . ‘ ' In southern Michigan the date of planting extends through a‘ period of 21 days. Logic— ally the ideal. planting date would be about the middle of this period.

CONTINUANQE’ o! unsea- ~sonable weather, throughout me country is beginning to have a‘ elect upon many lines of . business, the V‘sv-‘huld‘ be adversely eflected by a outlook for which general crop failure in this cormtry. Another reason fonthe cy of business along some lines, is the fact that uncertainty about the com- ing fall trade has the effect to make dealers ultra-conservative and can- tious about the making of commit- ments. The trade is “between sea- ~ sons" and it. is hard to find anyone ' who is willing to risk his reputation by makmg predictions concerning the general character of the busi- ness of the coming fall. The settle- flnent of the German reparations problem has given the trade a more hopeful view of the future but eco- nomic conditions in Great Britain have, so far. completely offset the optimism that followed the an- nouncement that Germany had signed. The New York Stock market has been slumping badly lately, a condi- tion which was unlookod for: early in the week industrial stocks worr Weakest- but toward the close all classes of securities were easy and lower. lall money has been, for the :most of the time, going at 7 per cent and long-time loans have swung between 6 per cent and the former figure. Banks report large increfis- es in savings deposits and the clear- ings for the week were considerably in excess of six billions of dollars. A combination of circumstances including the unfavorable weather mentioned above, have had the ef- fect to produce a firm market for cer- eals, both on the Board of Trade and in cash business. Cured pork pro ducts continue dull and slow but , beef muttOn, wool. cotton and hides are firm and gradually working high- er. Dissatisfaction, concerning the prevailing retail prices in many com- mercial lines, is helping to keep down the volume of business, the country over and the prevailing opinion Seems to be that the long drawn out “buyers strike" will never end un- til somc of these glaring inequalities are evened up.

Mixed rye and hairy Vetch is run through the machine in the ordinary manner, usually with- out any a justment of the cylinder or of the screens. A little care must be taken that the machine is not run too rapidly, as. the. hairy-vetch seeds are, apt to? crack and split, es- pecially in dry weather or when the seeds are dead ripe. A good thresh- erman,’ of, course,'do-es not run his machine so fast as to injure the hairy vetch, but ~many operators habitus~ ally run at an excessive rate of speed and these must be cautioned to proceed more carefully. At times it'may be necessary to change the pulleys, to allow the cylinder to run more slowly than the rest of the ma-. chine. Just as much seed 1's thresh- ed in a day by running slowly, be- cause less seed goesover in the straw. When the speed of the cyl- inder is not reduced it is advisable to remove some of the concave teeth. The greatest difficulty in‘ thresh- ing is likely to come in attempting to thresh a semigreen crop. All threshermen object toworking with the tough, wiry vines, as they wind around the cylinder, become tangled, in the shakers and cause an endless amount of trouble and loss of time. Cases are known where farmers have been charged as high as 18 cents a bushel for threshing such a crop, and the charge is not wholly unrea- , sonable in view of the difficult na— ture of the work. In order, there- fore, to avoid argument as to price and to insure running the machine at the proper speed, it is usually best when threshing green hairy vetch to pay for the threshing by the day instead of by the bushel as is commonly done. Cleaning 'and , Separating Since hairy vetch is usually grown as a companion 'crop with grain, the seed must be cleaned and separated from the grain before it can be mar- Cleaning is accomplished by means of an or- dinary» fanning mill or seed cleaner, which removes the trash, weed seeds, and more or less of the grain. To remove the grain from the hairy vetch‘ is a more difficult pro- cess, as the seeds are so nearly of the same size, shape and weight that no ordinary machine separates them. Small lots of seed can be separated fairly well in a fanning mill and the excess'grain picked out by hand. A better method is to pour the mixed seed on a smooth slanting surface, such as a tin shed roof, have been fixed horizontally thin Strips of wood. By sweeping the mixture up the slope with a broom, the grain is held back, while the, hairy vetch seeds roll down ‘ the slope and off the edge. A similar plan consists of a series of inclined steps, arranged about 2 inches apart over which the mixture is allowed to . run. A'bout three-fourths of the rye falls through the openings. The simplest method of all is to spread the seed on a barn floor and allow chickens to pick out the grain, which they will do, leaving the hairy vetch. complished on clover graders or wild, oats separators, which consist .es— sentially of, endless belts of felt .or Canton flannel set at such an in- cline that the rye is carried up and over the top while the vetch rolls to the bottom. _ xLa‘rge lots of seed can not be handled in such .a' manner, how- er, but must be separated on a spiral sepa'rator.‘ This simple but ingen—. ious' device is reallythe keystone of» the hairy—vetch seed industry, "as withoutit there would be no wayto . separate'se‘ed in large quantities.

This is based-On a capacity of 50 bushels of» mixed seed a day, although a well arrang- ed outfit can. handle 65 to"75 .bush- els in 10 hours. On the basis of 5 pounds of hairy vetch per bushel 'the cost of separating is about 2"cents a * pound. Ordinarily, . a man who grows _8 acres ,or more of hairy-vetch seed each year can afford to'own his own machine. - x ' ’ Marketing _> ‘ "About three-fourhts of therhairy— 'vet‘ch seed grown in Michigan is sold directly to country elevators or to w Rye and hairy vetch In the proper proportions for a seed crop. down the rye. More helry.vetch would drill! the large seed jo’bbers, either thru their local agents or by correspond,- ence. ‘A few farmers make enough of a speciality of this vetch to ad- vertise in the local papers and sell directly to the consumers. Others are able to'dispose. of all their pro-, duct to their neighbors. On'account of the rapidity with which‘ the hairy- vetch seed industry developed in Michigan, some time was-required to establish a satisfactory marketing system. Many farmers who ~grew seed with the expectation of, receiv-. ing high- prices found that there was no way todispose of “the seed'after .it was harvested, as the lOcal 'deal- ers were 'not' prepared to handle it. Thus, there, has been ’a’considerable inequality in the prices paid to farm- 'ers in different sections, and some growers have been forced out of the business' because of uncertainty. as to the returns. This diffiCulty ' is being gradually overcome as busi- ness machinery 'for handling the crop becomes: better organized.

Disposal of the Straw Hairy-vetch; straw‘iis often used as winter'rough'age for cattle, horses,. and sheep, for,whi~ch‘ purpose it is Considered equal “to clover straW‘Or somewhat better than bean straw.

This practice is not the best. as dry hairyeyetch straw decays slowly and tends to"dry out, the soil,‘besides interfering with cultivation. However, it practically the same amounts of ni- trogen, phosphoric acid and‘potash as the green plant, and where no bet- ter means is available for its dispos- al, it should be plowed under. very best way to dispose of the straw is to feed it «to live-stockand plow under the manure“ H 1 Under favorable conditions hairy vetch yields as high as »10 to 1-12 bushels of seed per acre. A high yield, however, is not necessarily'the most profitable,.for it usually in- volves the handling of such an ex-, ce-ssive quantity of tangled vines as to greatly increase the cost of pro- duction. per bushel. Most growers do not seek high yields, but, in fact, carefully avoid , them. Occasional- ly a large yield of seed is obtained from plants which are small in‘size but heavily set with pods. Such .a crop is, of course, highly profitable, but the “conditions which produce these plants are not wellunders-too’d and they are apt to be the resultaof From 5 to 6 bushels of "‘hairy vetch in 25‘ to 30 bushelsofmixture . ,h per acre is considered-every satis-, , . comparable -‘to -25.“ factory yield, bushels of wheat or 150 bushels .Ofr potatoes. A common way of ‘ex- pressing this is 'to say that a good ‘ ' crop of rye should contain 20 per cent (12 pounds) of hairy_.ve-t-ch per bushel. Nearly. all farmers secure such yields in occasional years, but only the most expert growers aver- age that quantity. Probably the av- ,erage yield approximates 15 to 20 bushels per acre of mixed seed, con- taining 5 to 8 pounds of hairy vetch to the bushel. 13 bushels of rye and 2 bushels 'of hairy vetch for the lower yields, or - 17 bushels of rye and 3 bushels.o£ hairy vetch for the higher yields. .With reasonable success one should be able to exceed the latter figures I at least once in three years. The profits-from growing v~ vetch and rye are'increased cons’idi erably' by the use of improved vari-f eties of rye such as .Rosen 0'1'=\Mamf' - ' moth 'White, which commonly yield, at the rate of 25 to 30 bushels ‘per T 'acre.,,._At the present 'time the seed of these varieties, if pump/"sells~ f about twice/[the price of .. jordin mend for seeding __p‘urposes.‘lfl effort is required to produce rye.

Mo‘rethan 1,500,000 pound-s of this wool have been sold. In Late March. the farm bureau was getting 16 “1.72 cents for, the very poorest grade wools up to 33 ‘1_-2 cents for the best grades.- 'Lbcal buyers thru— oilt the state werepsaid to be “offer— ing ten to twenty. cents for the 1921 clip. ‘ Experience and study has taught the Michigan State Farm, Bureau even more economical methods of handling “wool. When the 'state'pool opened April I, for the 1921 clip, there -- Were‘ 100 ,wool department grading ‘wiarehousesigwhich ’ were scheduled for the""state’s' 83 coun- - ties, several to a county in the more important wool sections.

The educational feat- ure of the 1921 wool handling pro- gram of the farm bureau is aug- mented by extension men from the Michigan Agricultural College. Wool will' be stored in the vari- ous grading warehouses until it is sold. In 1920 the‘entire 3,000,000 pounds of wool paid a freight of half to three-quarters of a cent into Lansing, plus additional unloading, hauling, piling, storage “and sorting charges which could not be avoided, but‘which; were handled with re- markable economy.

FARMER BANKS ‘l' PAVE for several years advocat— ‘ed strictly farmer banks which could loan money at a low rate of interest,-—not more than four per ceht,——on long time terms. .I read that they have such a system in Aus— tralia which is highly satisfactory to all. Give the former a. loan on his farm at 50 per cent cash value evolusive of the buildings at 4 per cent, 12 to 15 Years and witness the prosperity of agriculture. To me the action of Congress placing $70,~ 000.000 to aid the farmers is all “bush.” and done by those who do not care about the 'interests of any— one but themselves. Only for the strong resistance of the money power this method of which I speak could soon be in operation.

When i realized that Kansas and North Dakota were face to face at short range, I wond— ered What would happen; but it was not long before all of us were lean- ing forward and exchanging inform~ ation and opinions as fast as women could talk. The North Dakota woo man was wife of the Lieut—Gov. of that state and the Kansas woman was Woman Publicity Member of the State Republican party of her state and therefore well posted. Ev- ery'woman of the group recognized the fearful odds at which the North Dakota farmers have had to work' t0* . better their conditions and there was expressed only hope that somethingn‘” better will come out of their strug— gle than they have had in the past. It is very important ihat we should' get the facts about that struggle be- fore our Michigan people. Not long ago I heard a Dr. F. A. Perry, rep- resenting the Coalition Committee of ‘Detroit, speak most rabidly against the League, fearful least Michigan farmers might embrace its faith. He gave the impression that the League was disloyal to the con~ stitution. but acknowledged, in re- ply to the question, that he did not know that the U. S. Supreme Court‘- had eight months before upheld the"? lower courts in the opinion that the? state of North Dakota had a right to“ its plan of state elevators and mills." It is not necessary that we take sides' .. either for or. against the League;"- since the contest between its friend-56 and opponents is so bitter that ' at" our distance we can hardly judge» impartially; but there are a few facts that are fundamental that . should be more generally known.- " Whether the outcome is for against the League as an organizaa; tion, there is being. staged in North Dakota one of the fiercest and most dramatic struggles that has even" been led by farming people who Seek to better conditions under which they live and work.

Few friends calling, no clubs and seldom a party. v I. was glad when circumstances per- t'mittedvu's to move to a' city; I had a small apartment on the corner of one~of the city’s most prominent ~avenues, very noisy and very ex- .pensive. I lived there two years and knew only the woman in the apartment next to me. We were not intimate but out of the loneliness of our hearts we spoke and smiled at _each other whenever we met. ‘ Our apartment was one of ten. I never feund" what thepeople in the other apartments looked like. There were clubs and social affairs but. they did not interest me for I knew no one. and was not invited to join anything. My world was within my four walls and the days were long waiting for my husband to return for dinner in the evening. This surely was not my niche and I was very lonely and unhappy. We are now living in a town of about ten thousand. We have a .circle of friends. I belong to sev- eral clubs and take an active part in the civic and social affairs of our small city. Have a home of our own on a lovely, quiet street, surrounded by a lawn whereon are my trees. shrubbery and flowers. : o A home like’this in a city would be impossible on our income. The big city is near by and a fine paved boulevard stretches between, giving 11s many advantages.

Gladstone is near Chester on the river Dee = = (famous in song) and also that . of,;the Duke of Westminster, at that time England’s richest landlord, whose place we visited. Thegrounds about the residence are very beauti- ‘ fui, sloping down. in terraces to the :river Dee, with the Welsh mount- ains in the distance. The interior of the residence almost baffles descrip- tiOn; in'no other place did we see such magnificence. We wandered through the rooms for hours, lost‘in admiration and wonder, trying to re- alize how it would seem to live in such a place amid sculpture in car- .rara marble paintings by old mast- ers, rare tapestries, tables with'tops of solid amethyst and countless oth- er rich and beautiful things. The li- _ .brary, an immense room, was finish— ed in American black walnut inlaid with boxwood and mother-of—pearl. ’ ‘ Iteasuy contained 2.000 books. , The} estate of the Duke of Chester . cbmprised' 32.000 acres, while the greSidents of the village had yards so f‘s‘m'an that it took two of them to ‘ ‘ hang out a fair-sizedwashing.

The soil should be in a cool moist condi- tion when the seed is planted. Cut seed planted in a hot dry soil is very aptto. give a poor stand. Whole seed, ordinarily will withstand more hardship in the soil and usually give good stands .even in very dry soils. wPlanting distances are determin— ed largely, by the moisture and plant food'con'tent of the soil. In some sections of the state it is the gener-, a1 practice to plant 32 inches by 32 inches. Such'a spacing allows for cultivation both .ways which saves hand hoeing. However,. in favorable seasons such Wide spacing is apt to produce po- tatoes that are oversize and hollow. In tests conducted last year it was found that closer planting, that is, the rows 32 to 36 inches apart and. the hills 16 .to 18 inches apart in the rows gave increased yields of 15 to 30-per- cent'over the check row planting.

The more important and by far the most conspicuous in- jury is always inflicted by the nearly full—grown caterpillar, whose greed and capacity for food are almost unbelievable. The pupa takes no food. The moth sublsists principally upon I the nectar gathered from flowers. ,' , , The army worm feeds by prefer- ence upon grasses, both wild and cultivated; next, upon the grasslike grains, such .as- the several varieties of millet, which suffer severely dur- ing outbreaks '0f--the insect. Wheat in its unripe stages, corn, oats and rye seem to be preferred in the or- der named. ‘ '. Generally speaking, outbreaks of the true army worm are more com- mon following cold, backward springs and should be looked for first in neglected portions of fields, upon which rank growth of wild grassesv‘or lodged,-and fallen unripe grain are to be found, These should be examined frequently and closely, May, to numbers feeding near" the surface of the ground under the sheltering overhanging leaf'gblades. ‘ ’3 Life History _ The army worm; like many other common insectjpests, has four'forms or stages as follows: First, the par- ent moths nor millers, which seek out. rankly growing-grass or grasslike grains, such as millet, upon which they lay their eggs. From these eggs hatch the little caterpillars or “worms” which feed and grow rap— idly. When full-grown they shed theirskins and change to the brown pupa or resting stage, usually be- neath the surface of the soil. From these pupae come the parent moths, which in turn mate and-“lay their eggs, thus providing for another brood of caterpillars. There are us- ually three generations of caterpil- lars in any one year, but seldom or rn'eyer-t two ,zs-uccessive outbreaks in anY.=sii-en1:109cl,iitrcI , _ . .The eggs "re laid by the parent moths at night, usually ln'the fold- ed blades or under the leaf sheats of' grains and ~vgrasses. These resemble small whiteboads, each consider- ably smallef than the head of a com- mon pin andare deposited in masses or royjrfs on; the plants selected.

This occurs several times during the 5 life of the caterpillar; until the" worm becomes full-grown. Theytime' required for full growth is from 37"? to 4 weeks, A The full-grown. army ._ -worm is 'a nearly .rnake‘d, smooth, striped caterpillarfabout 1 1—2 in- che‘s- long. Its gen’er-al‘color isms- ‘ually greenish, and the stripes, one ' along each side andva broad one down the center of the dark and often nearly black. The f stripe alone the back usually has 'a. fine light colored, broken stripe run- nin-g'down its center. The color cf the body between the dark stripes ‘varies from'greenish to reddish v brown. The head is greenish brown speckled with black. ‘When an army of these worms is at work in a field the champing of their jaws is plainly to be heard, as they greedin devour. every blade in sight. In' this stage the army worm The 'true army worm; pupa. Enlarged (OrlglnuJ ’. frequently consumes, all of the food supply near the place where it has developed from the egg. When such is the case the caterpillars mass together-and crawl away in a body in search of other food. It is this, 'habit which has gained for the in. sect the popular name of “army worm." 'The massing together of the worms affords the farmer an op; : portunity .of destroying them in ‘great‘ quantities by mechanical methods described later. When the full-grown caterpillars cease feeding they usually burrow into the soil to I the depth ofjaflfewilnches. and-by" dint of twistinglaridztiiming form ‘8'. cavity or cell therein.
