T THE birth of the Agrarian move-
ment in the Canadian West—it was
first christened the Grain Growers’ League
——Michigan and Missouri transplanted
farmers were the largest factors with the
Canadians. The great legion of producers
realized that they were cultivating the soil
largely for the advantage of grain brokers
in \Ninnipeg and small politicians at Otta-
wa. .In the legislatures of Alberta, at Ed—
monton; and at Regina the capital of Sas—
katchewan provinces, you will find today
among the newly elected members, some
stalwart agriculturists who formerly tilled
the soil in such districts as Mt. Clemens,
Marquette, Adrian, Detroit, Jackson, Sault
Ste. Marie or were students at the Lansing
Agricultural College in Michigan state.
History will be searched in vain to find
that agriculture has any status in any of
the old kingdoms or republics of Europe.
Denmark and Belgium, both small coun—
tries, but well governed are two in which
the breeders and exporters of pure bred
stock and expert cultivators of the soil, are
recognized in the mechanical or peasant
class. lt is said that James G. Blaine, was one
of the first American statesmen and econom—
ists to consult the farmers in the making of
treaties and tariti’s. After the American
livil ‘War, the conditions were such in
Michigan and adjoining states, with spur—
ous silver and disputed paper currency,
that a tariff wall to prevent Europe from
dumping cheap labor—made goods in U. S.
became a national necessity. Now with an
army and a navy, second to none, and the
acknowledged leader and banker of the
world, the United States can afford to sym-
pathize with the oppressed, and to be just
and even generous with sister states. _In
the great grain growing and stock-raismg
states of the republic, this must soon be-
come obvious to the farmers and producers.
If the United States got nothing else out of
the war, the premiums and pre—eminence
conceded by the world to their flag and
paper currency amply repays them. The
Canadian farmer believes that our dollar
bill should be worth 100

about our next-door neighbor, Can-

ada. \Ve admire partieulanly the
sterling independence of her farmers. As
in every country on the globe the farm-
ers of Canada have received the least
consideration from the hands of the
government. Powerful and pernicious
interests got control of the provincial
and federal patronage and set about to
secure unto themselves the many bene-
fits which government is capable of be-
stowing. - But the farmers of the great
western provinces, stirred to resentment
by their patriotic leaders, have arose
and in the past dozen years have taken
such strides along political lines that
they bid fair to gain control of the gov-
ernment of the entire Dominion. The
articles published herewith treats of this
subject and was written especially for
the Business Farmer by one of the best
known writers in (Canada—Editor.

off their feet by sectarian, jingle, racial

Canadian Progressives Led by Michigan Men-

Early Settlers From Peninsular State are Taking Over Reins of Government

ing for a new charter and they are going to
have it. The transplanted Ameri'an farm—
ers many of them from Michigan and ad-
joining states have played an honorable
and dignified part in the agrarian move—
ment. They realized that the spokesmen
should be native Canadians, and were for-
tunate indeed when they found Hon.
Thomas Alexander Crerar, M. 1)., of Man-
itoba. He is not much over 40 years, born
in Ontario, the scion of rugged Scotch non—
conformist stock, and is highly educated in
the arts and sciences as well as in agricul-
ture. He gave up the classroom a few
years ago to return to his father’s farm not
many miles from \Vinnipeg.

It was at one of the great farmers con-
ventions that Tommy Crerar was found.
At these gatherings, the grain brokers,
bankers, commission agencies, speculators,
exploiters and middlemen of many brands,
were there with bells on. The farmers
brought their wheat to the elevators in those
days and usually took what was handed to
them. Acrimonious discussions sprung up
frequently in these conventions but the
farmers were getting nowhere, A tall,
husky youngster on the back benches. took
the floor, and speaking classic I‘lnglish. in
ringing tones. he told the farmer that they
must first resolve to he farmers on election

year. Otherwise they were only wasting
their time, he said. it was Cre‘ar. Thus
a new party was born, and a leader, Who
will be a Prime Minister of the Dominion
within a few months, was discovered.

The Progressive party farm, labor and

isters of the “invisible government” who
saw danger ahead for pirates, with the
charge of “class legislation” and “Bol—

\Vinnipe", Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton,

50,000 PRODUCERS OBSERVE
“BETTER CREAM WEEK"

HE MOVEMENT to make qual-

ity production the keystone of

every cream producers’ business
is gaining ground fast. During the
week of June 4-11 more than 50,-
000 producers of the state were ob-
serving “Better Cream Week,” the
work of the Michigan Creamery
,Managers and Owners Association.
Better Cream Week was the public
manifestation of a cream improve-
ment campaign that has been going
forward noiselessly for some months.
Better Cream Week brings the
creamery owners, managers and
producers to the point where pur-
chasing of cream by grades in addi-
tion to butter fat content is close
at hand.

Men at cream grading stations are
already dividing cream into two
grades and lining them up on op-
posite walls of their receiving sta—
tions, both for practice and to show
the producer the difference. The
creamery owners and managers,
through their associations, are also
sending “money talks” to 50,000 in—
dividual producers, describing the
system. Within a year the cream-
ers expect to begin buying cream as.
a first and second grade product, as
demonstrated by the present grad-
ing work. The system provides that
the farmer shall get more for first
grade cream, one to possibly several
cents. .

In emphasinzing the importance
of the delivery of sweeter cream for
butter making purposes, creamery
men point out that prolonged parti-
cipation in “Better Cream Week"
would mean millions in added rev-
enue to farmers. Nine other states
made the week of June 4-11 “Bet-
ter Cream Week." '

MICHIGAN RYE TO GERMANY

YE RAISED near Concord, Mich-

igan, is going to appear as

bread on many family tables in
Germ-any soon says the Michigan
State Farm Bureau in commenting
on a recent report to its elevator ex-
change. made by an eastern exnort-
er. The report incidentally answers
in part the question, “Who eats the
bread form Michigan grain?"

On May 20th the car of rye left
Concord and was consigned to the
steamship Auburn, bound for Ham-
burg, Germany. A car of rye from
Goldwater was consigned to the
steamship Hothe, for Rotterdam,
Holland. A Coopersville, Michigan
car of wheat went May 25 on the
steamer Austola for Gibraltar, the
English fortress on the point of the
Spanish peninsula at the eastern en-
trance to the Mediterranean Sea.
Another car of Goldwater grain
found its way into the hold of the
linen Ranenbjord with Vakzdal as
its destination. The latter port is
presumably a Scandinavian port.

The twelve shipments recorded by
this exporter read in like manner.
According to the farm bureau 90
per cent of the sales made through
its elevator exchange are for the ex-
port trade because the Michigan or—
ganization has the tonnage which
makes it profitable for eastern ex-
porting firms to do business with it.

AUSTRIA DOUBLES GRAIN PAY-
MENTS T0 FARMERS
Y A REGULATION of the State
Food Office the official price
for grain of the last harvest is
now doubled, according to reports
received by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. In July,
1920, it was fixed at 1.000 crowns
(exchange value of 1 crown averag-
ed $0.003 during first quarter of

1921) per 100 kilos (220.46 pounds) V

for the two important grains—-
wheat and rye—with the stipulation
that in March, 1921, the price would
be revised. Under the revision the
farmer now receives in addition to
the price already paid for every 100
kilos of grain, 500 crowns in cash
and gifts of artificial fertilizer esti-

.‘

mated to have an equivalent value
of 500 crowns per 100 kilos of grain.

The details of this latter feature
are: For 100 kilos of grain the
farmer receives 2 1-2 kilos of am-
moniumx sulphate, 3 3-4 kilos of
calcium cyanamide, 10 kilos of sup-
erphosphate, and 5 kilos of 40 per
cent potassium salts or 10 kilos of
20 per cent potassium salts.

This sum will not immediately
fall upon the consumer, as it is not
meant to affect anterior prices of
bread.

CHILEAN GOVERNMENT SE-
CURES MONEY DENIED
AMBICAN FARMERS

EW YORK bankers have just
loaned the Chilean government
$24,000,000 at an interest rate

lower than that which American
farmers would eagerly pay if they
could secure the necessary money to
market their crops at a price that
would save them from bankruptcy.
The security that the farmers have
to offer is the best in the world: mo-
bile food commodities with universal
demand. But the bankers have no
money for them.

What is the reason? If the bank-
ers lend money to the farmers, it
will enable them to control their
crops until they can secure a fair
market price. If money is denied
them, they will have to sell for any
price the speculators, commission
men, and big millers and packers of-
fer them, and the latter can then
squeeze the consuming public for
“all the traffic will bear," dividing
their fat profits with the bankers
who finance them, and in many cases
controlling the very banks from
which they borrow.

OHIO NOT TO BE CLOSED TO U.
S. GRAIN GROVVERS

ALL COMPLICATIONS which for
a time threatened to make it

impossible for the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc., to operate in Ohio
without going to the time, trouble
and expense of organizing a separ-
ate company in that state, have been
removed, according to Clifford
Thorne, general counsel for the cor-
poration.

Immediately after it was an—
nounced in newspapers, ten days
ago, that the U. S. Grain Growers.
Inc., would not be given a permit to

transact business in Ohio, because
the laws of that state did not men-
tion a non-stock, non-profit organi—
zation. Mr. Thorne entered into
negotiations with Ohio attorneys and
Farm Bureau officials. He has re-
ceived assurance from Columbus
that the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc.,
will be permitted to operate, be-
cause the law is silent insofar as
corporations of that kind are con-
cerned. This solution of the Ohio
situation removed from the path of
the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., the
only legal obstacle that has been en-
countered thus far.

States in which licenses have been
granted are: North Dakota, South
Dakota, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kan-
sas and Minnesota. In Wisconsin,
Texas and Illinois, no licenses are
requested. In all other states in
which the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc.
expect to operate the necessary legal
steps will be completed as quickly
as the proper procedure can be car-
ried out.

 

CREDITS FOR CATTLE OWNERS
THE STRONGEST advocates of

rural credit legislation, which is

being seriously discussed in
Congress at this time, are found
among the pure—bred cattle owners
and organizations. There is a real
reason for this. The initial cost of
starting a pure-bred herd of the
proper kind is staggering to many
dairymen who may be otherwise
convinced of its desirability. Men
who wish to sell high grade cattle
and men who wish to buy high
grade cattle have a joint interest in
a credit. system which will permit
loans based on the security of the
cattle themselves and their insur—
ance and for a period sufficiently
long to permit the benefit and the
increase to assist in the payment.
For this reason, there is special in—
terest in the Kenyon Bill for the es-
tablishment of a rural credit system,
which is now pending in the senate
and also in Secretary Mellon’s state—
ment to the press under date of
May 20 in which he says that more
liberal rural credits and extension
of the present six months rediscount
limit by federal reserve banks on
agricultural paper should be pro—
vided for. Mr. Mellon called atten-
tion to legislation on this subject
which is now pending in Congress.

Wool Department Adds Fifth Grading Team

iii/\WASSEE county with 13
days of state farm bureau wool
pool grading arranged for in

lieu of the three days originally as-
signed to that county is typical of
the manner in which the 1921 wool
pool is exceeding all expectations"
says the farm bureau wool depart.-
ment in announcing this week that
the total in pool to date is now
hovering around the million pound
mark. More than four times as
much wool has been pooled to date
than was in the 1920 pool on June
1 last, according to the farm bur-
eau reports.

Five grading teams are now in the
field. Their gradinge capacity is
about 75,000 pounds a day. The
fifth grading team started work this
week under the direction of a spec-
ialist from a well known eastern
clothing mill. His services were so—
cured by the farm bureau for the
rush of the wool pooling season. On
June 1, four grading teams had visr-
ited 46 of 112 grading warehouses
scattered throughout the state.
These men declare that every sign
points to a 1921 pool that will far
exceed the gigantic total of 3,500,000
pounds pooled in 1920.

Counties which have joined with
Shiawassee in furnishing wool vol-
ume surprises are Clinton, where
the graders have returned a second
time to St. Johns to take care of
what promises to be a 100,000 pound
county pool. To dateMidland coun-

that county shipped into the pool last
year. Every county visited thus far
has asked for return grading dates.

Midland and Isabella county
farmers were among those who
found that 50 per cent cash advance
on the value of their wool on the
day of grading was nearly equivalent
to the full price being paid by local
wool buyers for wool on a lot basis.
That fact brought farmers to the
pool in swarms, saysthe farm bur-

THE ADVANCE OF THE FARM
BUREAU

HE AMERICAN Farm Bureau

Federation has more than a mil-

lion members and is growing at
the rate of 50,000 members a month.
In the last six months 307,713 new
soldiers or the soil have been re—
cruited in the farm bureau army.
Secretary J. W. Coverdale has just
completed 'his report for the six
months ending June 1, 1921. There
were 869 county farm bureaus on
Dec. 1, 1920 and 1,473 on June 1,
1921. »

At the permanent organization
meeting of the American Farm Bur-
eau Federation in Chicago on March
4, 1920, 28 states affiliated them-
selves with the national organiza-

then.

BARUCH INDEPENDENT OF
WALL STREET MANIPULATORS

ERNARD M. BARUCH, nation-
ally known as one of the keen—
es-t minded financiers in the

world, will be financial advisor in
the $10,000,000 Farmers’ Finance
Corporation, newspaper reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. Mr.
Baruch will not be actively connect-
ed with the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc. However, relations between
this giant in money matters and
those who are responsible for the
Farmers’ Finance Corporation will
be sufficiently close as to give the
farmers’ grain'sales agency full ben—
efit of his experience and ability.

ANOTHER POOLING OPTION IN
U. S. G. G. CONTRACT

0 FURTHER serve farmers who

wish to test the poolidg prin-

ciple in selling grain, without at
the same time committing their
whole crop to such an arrangement
and of running the risk of having
their entire sales organization de-
clared illegal, the Executive Com-
mittee of the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc., at their meeting last week
(May 30-31) adopted a new form of
optional pool, which will be official-
ly known as “Plan B-3.”

Under this option, a grower may
elect to pool a third of his grain, to
be sold as any pool under the con-
trol of the U. S. Association, which
will return to all growers signing
such election all the money the grain
brings, minus handling charges.
This option, like other pooling ar-
rangements, can be used during any
crop year while the contract is in
force, but once adopted, must con-
tinue until contract is terminated.
NEW LOW RECORD FOR FARM

ANIMAL MORTALITY
EARLY 7,000,000 domestic an-
imals were lost from disease
and exposure on the farms of

the United States during the year
ending with April, 1921, as the Bur-
eau of Crop Estimates, United States
Department of Agriculture. has re—
cently estimated and their value
was about $150,000,000. These loss—
es comprise about 369,000 horses
and mules, 585,000 lambs, 1,223,—
000 mature sheep 1,743,000 cattle,
and 2,946,000 swine.

While these numbers are large
from any point of view, yet they
represent low rates of mortality. The
rate for horses and mules, 1.47 per
cent, has been exceeded for many
years, and the same statement ap-
plies to 1.70 per cent loss of cat-
tle from disease and 0.93 per cent
from exposure, to 1.48 per cent loss
of sheep from exposure, to 4.62 per
cent loss of lambs from disease and
exposure, and to 4.42 per cent loss
of swine from disease, in this case
with the exception of two recent
lower years. Sheep diseases were
fatal about as usual. A mild wint-
er was favorable to the making of
this low record of mortality. It is
also true that animal mortality from
diseases is declining as the various
public agencies, understand how to
combat them.

Michigan Fruits Suffer Least From Frost

County Agents Report No Section Entirely Destroyed and Average Loss Less Than 20%

T WOULD APPEAR from the reports we
have received from all fruit growing sec-

tions in Michigan that our fruit growers can
count themselves lucky, not because they did
not suffer any loss, but that their losses have
been small in comparison with practically all
other fruit growing areas in this country.

Assisted by the county agents, cwhose re-
ports are reprinted below, we have made a
complete survey of the damage done by the
frosts of late March and early April, which
swept practically all sections of America and
laid waste the plans of thousands of fruit
growers who depend entirely on this crop for
their livelihood.

Most Michigan orchards are in the» hands of
farmers, who grow fruit as a secondary crop
and do not thus depend entirely on it. To these
men and to the fruit growers of Michigan gen-
erally the following reports should prove
highly valuable. It would appear to us, that
with the general fruit shortage which the De—
partment of Agriculture predicts, it will well
behoove the Michigan grower to carefully
spray and care. for this fruit crop this season,
because the lessened production should make
for comparatively high prices paid the pro—
ducers.

From the following reports it would appear
that the early press dispatches in metropol-
itan newspapers were, as usual, greatly ex-
aggerated. The county agents’ reports read
as follows:

ALLEGAN—“From a commercial standpoint
the cherries are gone, pears are very varied; in
some orchards quite a fair sprinkling remains, in
others the loss is very heavy. This is only a
guess of course, but I would say that we might
have 40 per cent of the pears left. Plums are
very severely damaged, in many cases a total loss.
We are not heavy in grapes in this county, but
what vineyards we have suffered the same as the
Van Buren and Berrien county grape districts.
1 was out all day with Mr. T. A. Farrand three
or four days after the frost of March 28th, and
he told me that in his judgment the grapes were
90 per cent or more lost. Regarding peaches,
there is a very great difference; in many orchards
there is a very good showing, but on the other
hand there are large areas where there are.
practically no peaches, probably 40 pct. would
be a liberal estimate. Regarding apples, the
general opinion among our growers is that we
will have a fairly large crop. Some early apples
were injured, and in a few cases quite severely,
but the fall and winter apples were not seriously
damaged, and much to our surprise after the
universal heavy crop of last year, the trees were
well loaded with blossoms. The mornings of
May 15, 16, 17 were quite severe in some cases
here, in fact froze ice, and out early potatoes
quite badly, also damaged strawberries very
severely. Probably about half the blossoms
were out and these three mornings surely did
freeze most of them, but as we meet with grow—
ers now after a. week has passed away, we find
that a. good many new blossoms are coming out
so the loss is not complete as it seemed, but I
cannot help but think that the crop was cut 50
per cent. Other small fruits such as currents
and gooseberries were cut severely. To give you
some idea of how cold it was here on March 28,
when most of the damage was done, I would say
that the radiator in the Ford I drive froze solid
in going four miles north after dinner. There was
a sort of freezing blast which accounts for my
frozen radiator. Seedings are also damaged to
a considerable extent by the more recent frost,
and by the further fact that we have had no rain
and we are at present suffering from the lack of
moisture. When you haVe time come and pay us
a visit in this country. Perhaps you do not know
that according to the census of 1920 we have
more farms than any other county in the United
States. Better come and look no up."———Alfred
Bentall.

,ANTRIM—“So far as I have been able to ob-
serve the damage to the‘ fruit in this country has
been very little. Our commercial orchards are
all on the west side of the county, near Lake

,on the $7 basis.

Michigan and around the chain of lakes parallel-
ing the big lake. This region is very free from
frost and apples and cherries are coming on fine.
A lot of these orchards will not be sprayed or
cared for because the owners will not believe that
it is pgssible for the fruit to bring a profitable
price. A drop in freight rates would do more
good'than any amount of frosts and other hard
luck in other sections. Potatoes are the only
‘small fruits’ that, we product in appreciable
quantity.”——L. L. Drake.

BARRY—“In reply to yours of the 20th inst..
will say: Early cherries and plums are practical—
ly destroyed, late cherries about 75 per cent,
normally early apples 50 per cent. normal late
75 per cent, grapes uncertain, early buds com-
pletely killed, the late frost hurt the quality and
quantity, but some varieties may be normal. On
the whole fruit production will be about 40 per
cent normal.”——F. W. Bennett.

BENZlF—“Benzie County has not been so»
\‘erely injured as regards fruit prospect this
year. The recent freeze had no effect on apples
except some early varieties, and we have the
prospects of a tremendous crop on hearing trees.
Last year was our off year on apples. and it looks
as though we should have a good crop this year.
Cherries will be.less than 50 per cent of a large
crop on the sours. and about. 25 per cent of a
crop on sweets. Some of the sour orchards will
have practically no fruit as result of last May's
freeze. Plums are entirely killed out by the frost
the middle of May. A fair crop of peaches is in
prospect, although our acreage is small, due to
the killing freeze of three years ago.” James L.
Kraker.

CALHOUN—“I am very glad to tell you the
little I know about the. damage done by the re—
cent frosts. The ilrst blossoms on strawberries
are practically gone. The dry weather is affect-
ing the crop somewhat so that there will not be
as many second blossoms as we could have ex—
pected if there had been sufficient moisture. The
grapes are hurt quite materially. There will be
a very small cherry crop. The apple crops seems
to be out about in two. It is surprising that a
number of peach blossoms lived through the
frost. I cannot see any damage done to the
crops to speak of, however. I have noticed a few
places where barley was sown quite early that it
has been frost bitten.” Paul C. Jamieson.

CHARLEVOIX—“Cherries have been damaged
to a considerable extent by recent frosts. The.
first setting of strawberries was also destroyed.
but they are coming on again in good shape. Ap-
ples apparently are undamaged as are also
plums.”—C. W. \Ving.

EATON—“The earlier frost in April ruined

 

 

the cherry crop in the county but did not affect
lhe apples to any extent. This last frost has not
done much damage to apples according to reports
from the growers. One reports he will have
more apples than last year. Strawberries have
been damaged, however, and there will be a short
crop of these. Taken all through, Mr. Lord, I do
not believe there will be a normal crop of our
fruits with the exception of apples.”——R. E.
Decker.

GENESEE—“I find that the damage is com—
paratively light to what we thought it would be.
I believe that a good warm rain would cover up
to a large extent the damage done by the frost
This does not promise to be a big apples year as
we had last year. The small bush fruit does not
seem to be hurt at all."——S. S. Smith.

GRAND TRAVERSF—“Cherries were damag—
ed to some extent by the freeze of March 30th.
The prospect for the crop to the best of my
knowledge is that we shall have about an av—
erage crop for this section. The June drop may
modify this somewhat and of course it is im-
possible to determine what this will be until it
comes. Other fruits are so far as we can see
free from any damage from any of the frosts
that. we have had. The small fruits were dam-
aged somewhat, but commercially they do not
count for much in this section. Summed up, the
prospects seem to be a fair crop of cherries, a
good crop of apples. pears and plums. VVo have
so few peaches that they are hardly considered,
but what trees there are seem to be pretty well
~-et for thi syear. It was surely a queer winter
and untoward spring for the fruit interests.”—
.l. P. lloustin.

HILLSI)ALE—-—“Fall and winter apples are
hurt very little. Harvest apples show probably
25 per cent. damage. Peaches, cherries and
plums about two—thirds crops. Small fruits dam-
aged probably 40 to 50 per cent.”-—J. W. S'imms.

HURON—“The frost of May 15th missed this
section entirely. Earlier frosts did some dam—
age to the earlier fruits such as cherries, plums.
etc. I examined trees in several localities and
estimated about 10 per cent of the buds blasted,
which does not mean a 10 per cent damage to
the crop as these same trees blossomed plenty
full enough. A great many orchards are blos-
soming full, while others are not. The heavy crop
of last year. no doubt sapped the vitality of the
trees to such an extent that even though they do
1.lossom it is doubtful about a crop this year.
This county as a whole pays very little attention
to fruit growing. Orchards are small and neglect—
ed as a rule. Trees are not pruned, sprayed and
fed as they should be to produce regularly.” Jas.

Sugar Companies Discriminate Against Michigan Grower

IT HAS been rumored for some time but
now established as a fact that some of the
sugar companies of this state have contracted
for beets in neighboring states on a minimum
guarantee of $7 per ton or $1 per ton more
than is guaranteed to Michigan growers. A
copy of a contract signed by the Holland—St.
Louis Co. with a farmer living in Cook coun-
ty, 111., in the possession of the BuSiness
Farmer shows the minimum price to be paid
as $7 per ton. According to a letter also in
our possessiou written by an lllinois farmer
all the beets contracted for in that state are
It is stated that beets have
been similarly contracted by other sugar com-
panies in Ohio. Inasmuch as the sugar com—
panies must go to a large extra expense of
transporting these beets to the factories and in
view of the small percentage of sugar which
they contain the question naturally arises,
Why, if the sugar companies can afford to
Pay $7 per ten for an inferior beet grown out—
side the state which has ,to be transported
double the distance or more, they cannot af-
ford to pay $7 for beets grown within the
state?

It is also learned that the Menominee Sugar v principle.

Company has written all, its contracts for the,
present year on the basis of a $7 guaranteed
minimum, and has been unable to secure all
of its acreage inside of Michigan at that.
\Vhen it appeared that the company would
have to secure a large portion of its beets in
\Viseonsin a group of bankers in the sugar
companies territory issued a. statement to sur—
rounding farmers pleading with them to grow
beets and “keep the money at home”.

The discriminatory tactics employed by the
sugar companies in securing beet acreage only
afford another evidence of their intention to
ignore the essential rights of the farmers.

T. C. Price, president of the, Saginaw
County Farm Bureau, and a member of the
executive committee of the Beet Growers’
Association writes us that representatives of
the Defiance Sugar Co.. of Ohio are soliciting
stock subscriptions from farmers in this state.
“They have a typewritten list of several hun-
dred farmers who have taken this stock in
Ohio,” says Mr. Price. “People in Michigan
who are boobs enough to buy that stock Will

Plenty of Pasture Cheapens Pork Production

Experiments at Michigan Experiment Station Prove Value of Pasturage or Forage Crops

WITH the present price of hogs and hav-
ing no aSsurance that they will not-go
lower, profitable pork production for the com-
ing season will depend very largely upon the
utilization of pasture and forage crops. From
experiments conducted at the Michigan Ex-
periment Station it was found the the cost of
producing 100 pounds of pork is reduced 25
to 40 per cent by feeding pigs on pasture as
compared with dry lot feeding. Pasture 0r
forage crops also insure a more healthy,
thrifty pig and in this way lessens the risk
of loss. The amount of protein rich concen-
trates, such as tankage, oilmeal, etc., required
to balance the pig’s ration is reduced one—
half by the use of pasture, as fresh green
grass contains a large proportion of protein.

Pasture or forage crops will provide the
pig with a maintenance ration or, in other
words, it will replace from 20 to 40 per cent
of the grain. which it would be necessary to
feed under dry lot conditions. The young
growing pig should therefore be fed from two
and one—half to three pounds of grain daily
for each 100 pounds that he weighs in order
to provide enough feed to insure rapid gains.

Unquestionably the best method of pastur-
ing hogs is to have the entire farm so fenced
that hogs may be turned into every field.
Under this method of pasturing a permanent

June grass sod should be available for the
months of April, May and June. Early in
July, clover meadows from which hay has

been removed are available. After harvest
the pigs may be turned into the grain fields
to graze on the new seedings and in addition.
to the pasture obtained they will recover a
large amount of shattered grain which would
otherwise be wasted. \Vhere it is feared tnat
the hogs might injure the new seeding 01 the
grain fields are not being seeded to clever,
from one and one—half to two pomids of rape
seed per acre may be broadcasted about three

weeks after the sewing of the grain. This will

the low price of marketable hogs and are say-

ing they can not produce pork at the present
prices without losing money. This is the wrong
spirit. Prices are getting adjusted and it will
not be long before the farmer who sticks to it
will come into his own. In this article Prof.
Brown tells how, by the use of pastlu’age or for-
age crops, you can lower your pork production
costs—Managing Editor.

FARMERS are getting discouraged owing to

 

 

amount of valuable forage for either hogs or
sheep. After silo filling and corn shredding
the hogs will pick up a large amount of corn
which was broken off during the cutting.
While the first cost of fencing a farm so that
all fields may be utilized for pasture appears
to be too great to many farmers, the saving
that would result from the gleaning of all
fields over a period of years would much more
than‘ offset the original cost and give one the
satisfaction of knowing that nothing was be-
ing wasted.

As a single crop to provide pasture for
hogs throughout the season there is no crop
equal to alfalfa and there is no danger of its
causing hogs to bloat. To be of the greatest
benefit to hogs a pasture crop should furnish
a succulent tender growth throughout. the sea—
son. To pasture alfalfa close enough to pro—

vide a fresh green growth continually will
kill out the stand and if it is not pastured

close it becomes coarse and woody. For best
results, therefore, the alfalfa should be pas—
tured lightly, allowing not more than 8 to 10
shoats per acre and cutting the field for hay
at the usual time. In this way the stand will
not be injured and the pigs will have succu-
lent grecn feed throughout the season.
Unfortunately very few farms are so fenc-
ed that the hogs can have access to all fields

Entomologist of Experiment Station, M. A. C.

which is poisonous and should not be used on
lettuce, spinach, chard or beets when used for
greens, because of danger that some poison
might cling to these leaf surfaces and result in

or have a well-established alfalfa meadow.
On such farms, other provision should be
made to furnish pasture. This is best done
by providing about three small lots ranging
in area from one—half to two acres or more,
(lepending upon the number of hogs k‘ept.
.One of these should be sown to rye in the fall
to provide pasturing during April and May.
The second should be sown late in March or
early in April to a mixture consisting of one
bushel of oats, one bushel of peas and four
pounds of Dwarf Essex rape per acre. This
will provide good pasture through late May
and June. The third lot should be sown to
Dwarf Essex rape about the first of May or
as soon as the ground is warm enough to
plant corn and will be ready to pasture the
forepart of July. 011 heavy fertile soil seed
broadcast at the rate of five to six pounds per
acre. On lighter soil sow in drills 30 inches
apart at the rate of two to three pounds per
acre and cultivate.

If a. good stand of rape is obtained with the
the oats and peas, it will come on and make
a second lot of rape after the peas and cats
are eaten off and by alternating between two
plots of rape one will have good pasture
throughout the season. On a cold backward,
spring, however, rape does not do- well sown
as early as one should sow peas and oats and
it is often necessary to plow up the lot which
had rye for early spring pasture and plant it
to rape early in June to give a second lot of
forage for late, summer and fall pasture and
in this case the pea and oat lot could be used
for some other crop such as roots or late p0-
tatoes. if a good stand of rape is obtained
with the peas and eats the rye lot may be
planted to corn and the hogs allowed to har-
vest it in the fall. Where June grass is
available for the spring pasture all that
would be necessary would be two small plots
of rape for summer and fall pasture, the hogs
being changed from one to the other as the
pasture is eaten off.

USURY

Will you please ask Mr. Brown to re-
fer me to the supreme court decision on
usury. Give report number in which it
may be. found. Also advise if all inter—
est is forfeited or only that portion above
the legal rate. How would the law apply
to this situation: I have. borrowed from
a. Michigan bank for the last eight years
on 30 and 60 day notes renewing each
time paying 7 per cent interest in ad—
vance and 5 per cent discount so—called.
t‘an I sue on all these notes? What
would be the expense of such a suit?
‘Vhere must a suit start. F. N. C.,
'\Vashington, D. C.

 

 

 

If the principal and interest of
a usurious contract are once paid it
can not be recovered back in any
court if a defense is made to the
action for it. If the whole debt has
not been paid the interest paid on a
usurious contract will be deducted
from the principal and the balance
must be paid. A renewal of a usur—
ious contract does not constitute a
payment. The statute makes the
interest void but the principal must
be paid less payments that have
been made on the contract for what—
ever purpose they were made. There
are a large number of decisions of
the supreme court of Michigan.
There are hundreds of decisions of
the supreme courts of other states
as it affects their statutes. The de~
cisions in Michigan are scattered in
206 volumes of Michigan reports.
They are classified under the head
of “usury” in the index and digest
of all of the decisions. I know of
no other place where they would
be listed. Should suit be instituted
by the one who signed a usurious
contract he would have to pay 5 per
cent on the ground that he is ask—
ing to be relieved of his contract.
he must do what is right and that
would be to pay 5 per cent, the law
ful rate where no rate is specified.
If the payee brings suit to enforce
a usurious contract he collects no
interest because the statute says
that he forfeits it.——4Lega1 Editor.

 

TO CONTROL SWARMING

I Wish to know how to stop my bees
from swarming. Your opinions would
be apprcciated.—“r. 1)., Oakland county,
Michigan.

A normal colony should be given
two hive bodies in which to rear
brood at least up to the time of the
beginning of the clover honey flow.

As soon as the weather begins to
get warm so that there is a tendency
for the bees to cluster in front of the
entrance then the entrance should
be enlarged to the full width of the
front of the hive.

Colonies should be requeened at
least every two years and preferably
each year as swarming is not as
prevalent with young queens as old
ones.

If the hives stand in the sun they
should be shaded by laying short
boards over the top or in any other
way that will keep the hives from
becoming too hot during the heat of
the day.

After the colony has swarmed the
old hive should be set to one side and
the swarm hived in a new hive
where the original colony first set.
During the same day one half or
two thirds of the bees left in the
old hive should be shaken in front
of the swarm. This will prevent
after-swarming to a very large ex-
tents—AB. F. Kindig, State Apiary
Inspector.

PAYING LAND RENTAL

neighbors (C) nnbcknown to inc. Now
my contract with him reads that
nothing shall be destroyed or removed
from the place without the owner‘s con—

The Michigan Bean at the Bar

AST WEEK in the circuit court at. Port

Huron a. case was heard before Judge
Tappan, in which a Michigan bean jobber was
sued for $6,000, by a New York broker who
claimed that he had sufiercd a loss of that
amount on a consignment of Brazilian beans,
which the Michigan bean jobber had pur-
chased and refused to accept because they
were infected with weevil and therefore not
up to Michigan standards.

As to just why any jobber in Michigan
should be buying beans from South America
when the bins in his own back yard, so to
speak, were groaning with a surplus, is hard
for us to understand. Sometimes it take a
court-case to smoke out the nigger in the wood-
pile and we have here, it would appear, an
interesting subject for an investigation on the
part of the bean growers’ organfhation.

After some six days of evidence taking, the
court rendered a decision of no damages for
the plaintiff, because it was proven that the
beans did not measure up to the Michigan
standard. This result was not surprising, al—
though it was interesting to have the superior
quality of the Michigan bean actually proven
in court.

Why is it that the Michigan bcan jobbch
do not awaken to the fact that they have the
finest beans in the world’s market to handle
and then go out and got a better price for
them?

The boon jobber is simply a. salesman for
the bean producing farm factories of Mich—
igan. He sells or should scll on a commission,
but if mm the superior quality of merchan-
disc which we know he has to offer he cannot
go out and get a better price for the Michigan
product, the!) sooner or later he must succumb
to a better plan of marketing which will in-
clude some real salesmen and not more order-
takcrs. The salesman always sells at a profit
to his house, but the order—taker usually sits
by the stove, complains about the goods they
give him to sell, writes home what rotten.
weather it is and takes whatever price the
buyer has to offer.

California uses real salesmen and real sell-
ing plans to market her oranges, walnuts,
raisins, etc., nowadays and she sells. her pro-
ducts under advertised brands which the con-
sumer is glad to ask for and pay the price for,
knowing the quality he is sure of getting.

Michigan has in her navy bean crop a su-
perior product, with which no state in the
Union, nor country in the world can compete.
How long are the bean-growers of this state
going to leave the marketing of their products
in the hands of men who might, if tempted by
huge profits, sell beans from Japan, Brazil or
the South Sea islands as the real Michigan

article!
Not forever. we hope. [mines the honest men

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER

in the bean jobbers’ association see the light
and ride these imposters out of their organ-
ization.

We Would be mighty glad to print in these

columns where most of the bean growers in our 7
state can read it, a statement from the officers

of the bean jobbers’ association, as to what
active steps they are taking to advertise and
promote the sale of Michigan-grown beans and
how they are seeking to stamp out the prac-
tices within their own circle, which "are suicid-
al to their own and the bean—growers’ inter—

“Railroad Wages Cut 400 Million”
N0 MAN should knowingly laugh at an-

othcr’s misfortune, but may we not as
good, hard-working, yet fun—loving farm folks
smile a little at the awful hullabaloo that ac-
companied this cut in wages, estimated on the
“average at twelve per cent?”

Was there any such lengthy and wordy con-
ferences when the farmers were told last fall
that their year’s work, as represented by the
products of their farms, would be sold for a
half/of what they had expected they would
bring?

If there were, we didn’t hear of any.

Have the railroad employees in fact, so
much to kick about when they can buy beans
from their OWn grocer at 50 per pound, butter
at 300 and potatoes at less than it costs the
farmer to dig and haul them?

Sure, we know their expenses are “just as,

high as ever”, but maybe they will have to do
just what the farmer has had to do, willingly
or not it made no difference, and the growing
crops of America do not seem to indicate any
desire on the part of the farmer .to Shirk his
duty by “striking”.

The only regret we have is that we cannot
report on how much the railway higher—ups
were affected by this cut, for altho we read in
the published reports that the freight-truckers
were cut from 6 to 8 cents per hour and the
little office boys under 18 years of age, 5 cents
per hour, we didn’t see anything about the
presidents, vice-presidents, directors, comp-
trollcrs, etc, etc, which each railroad is bur-
dened with, at least, enough. Were their sal-
aries cut twelve per cent or more too? If they
were, please pardon us for just a moment
while we go around back of the silo for just a
little smile.

Come to think of it, if a feller’s got any
sense of humor left these days, he can smile a
little at the silk-shirt heroes and others who
rode by, honking the horn and laughing to see
how hard the “poor boobs” on the farms were
working to get the hay in last summer. They’d
be mighty glad to help you get in the hay this
summer, neighbor, and that car they sailed by
so gaily in, is down on that open lot on the
corner with a big “For sale cheap” Sign on
the Windshield.

 

“Truth—In-Fabrics” Bill Needs Help

b‘ THERE WAS ever before congress a bill
of more importance to a greater number
of business farmers in the statc of Michigan,
than the present “truih-in-fabrics” bill we
cannot rcmcmhcr it. Surely no piece of log-
islation on the floor today is of anywhere near
as great moment and yet when Congressman
French recently tried to convince Chairman
‘vVinslow of the interstate and foreign com-
mcrcc committee of its necessity, he was met
with the reply that he had heard from very
few of his constituents regarding it and be-
lieved there was little public interest in it.
Just how any sane body of men can refuse
to enact a piece of legislation which is so ob-
viously a benefit not only to the producers of
pure wool but to the general public who pay
the bills, is a mystery too deep for us. We
recognize of course, that there are powerful
interests who would like to continue to call a
suit made of two-thirds “shoddy”, “pure-
wool”, but how the congressman who are
elected to protect the interests of the people
can allow them to do so, when the tool for
correcting this century'old fraud is within
their grasp is hard for the ordinary mortal to
fathom.
One is tempted to suggest that if congress
does not believe the pure wool bill of merit,

June 11, 1921

they should abandOn the pure food and drug
acts that have saved more lives than all the
physicians of all time!

Warehouses full of pure fleeces, the price
of wool down to pro-war prices, woolen mills
standing idle and SHODDY being sold the
innocent purchaser as PURE WOOL; that’s a
picture of conditions today!

Every congressman and every senator who
represents Michigan ought to get a letter from
every wool grower who votes for him. That
letter ought to say “get busy on the ‘truth-in-
fabrics’ bill”, in words that he can under-
stand. Unless it is done and 'done right
away by you men whom it most concerns, you
are going to regret it! There is only one way
to get What you want in this world and that
is to ask for it! If you leave it to your
neighbor who also grows sheep, or to the as-
sociation or to somebody else, this “truth—in-
fabrics” bill is going to die right where it was
born and the blame is going to come right
down on your head.

You wouldn’t think of leaving one neglect
ed lamb out in a. storm, you would Spend
hours hunting for it and yet no lamb that ever
strayed from the fold was in greater peril
than this bill at the present moment. Sit
down to-night and write the men you elected
to express your wishes at Wash:ngtou-~
Michigan is a great wool-growing state and
Michigan must be emphatically heard from!

Michiganders Are the Salt of the Earth!

Hillsdale, Mich., June 1.——Several hund~
red persons turned out today to clear the
debris in the district between Osseo and
North Adams which was swept by a cyclone
Friday. Neighbors of farmers whose buil-d-
ings were destroyed circulated petitions call-
ing on everyone in Hillsdale County to help
repair the damage. About $1,500 was rais-
ed among traveling men and tourists to aid
the sufferers. The Red Cross has provided
food for those in need.

AVE YOU ever lived in any other state

or in any other country, than Michigan?
If not, you probably will not know until you
do, just what we mean when we speak of the
fine qualities of Michigandcrs.

Yet, how often it is demonstrated, sometimes
in a big way, as in Hillsdale county, but mil-
lions of times in a small way by individuals
and little groups of folks in every part of this
great state.

It kinda’ goes with the characteristics of a
typical Michigander to go out of his way to
help the other fellow, particularly if he is in
trouble and nowhere is it more apparent than
among the farm folks, who were born and
raised here or who since have adopted this as
their own state.

How can we account for it? Can it be pos-
sible that Michiganders are more kindly, con—
siderate and sympathetic than Iowans or Tex—
ans; how can we prove it? Frankly, of course
we can ’t. But just because we were born and
raised here, but have since lived for weeks or
months and even for years in other -
states and other countries, we can make our
own statement and stick to it! Also once in
a while, we can point to an instance like that
in Hillsdalc to prove how lllichigundcrs live
up to the best trad‘tions handed down by the
sturdy pioneers, who came here to hunt, fish
and later to clear the wilderness and who were
famous, even among the savage red men, for
their kindness.

In order to avoid disturbances on the streets
of Cairo residents oflthat city have been ordered
to their homes. And many a man goes away
from home to avoid a disturbance. It would ap-
pear that the authorities are trying to encourage
family fights.

 

The mayor of Detroit recently told the man-
ager of the Detroit Edison Electric Company that
the rates for lighting was too high and should be
reduced. The manager was unable to see the
question in.that light.

North Dakota farmers are going to bring back
the 5-cent loaf of bread by building their own
flour mill and baking bread. They may make it
rather warm for the bakers before they get thru.

urers are assisting the “back to normal" move-
ment. They are wrapping the sticks in brighter

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARH'ER

What the Neigibors SM

 

*

THE PUZZLE!) FARMER

AM HEARTILY in favor of an
I income tax. Will say my taxes

are twice as much as they were
four years ago and how we are go-
ing to pay them if they keep on go-
ing, up is more than I can figure.
With farm crops as low as they are
and some no price at all, and with
thousands of bushels of onions and
potatoes to be drawn from the cel-
lar to the fields to rot, the farmer
is greatly discouraged and doesn’t
know what crops to plant or what
course to pursue to make a little
money. It is money we need on the
farms now, and there’s not one art~
icle that can be sold from the farm
at present prices which will bring
cost of production. How can we pay
our taxes and keep out of the poor—
house. I know of farmers who had
to borrow money to pay their taxes
as well as to live through the win-t-
er, and others with heavy debts pil-
ing on their backs. With our of-
ficials piling more taxes on there
will be a lot of us lose out and I
am one. We can stand a lot but
not everything—G. Mo, Chelsea.
Mich.

Pretty tough. all right, old man. Don’t
blame you for kicking. Am hoping the
worst is over and that things from now
on will be for the better. We can stand
high taxes if we can make a decent
profit on our crops, but when our profit
is wiped out and then some, I don't
know Where the money is coming from
to pay the taxes. The income tax would
help, but we’ve got to wait two years to
get that on our statute books, so all
we can do is to “grin and bear it," or
quit.——Edit0r.

EXPLAINS COUNTY COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT
«TO FIXED plan of county govern—
ment is determined in advance
under the proposed resolution,
Senate file No. 44, for submitting a
constitutional amendment in Nov—
ember, 1922. Our state committee
have insisted that decisions of an ir-
revocable nature must not be made
until the last moment, so that all
possible contribution of ideas could
be available from all parts of the
state. Thus far the following plans
have been‘suggested:

1. Abolish the auditors in coun-
ties having auditors, and granting of
increased powers to supervisors,
without abolishing board of super-
visors so that an executive commit—
tee or administrative council of sup—
ervisors would be the directing force
in the administrative functions.

2. Abolition of supervisors as a
board, though retaining them in
townships, and election at large of a
commission of three to nine men to
have charge of county affairs during
the entire year.

3. Substitution of a district plan
of representation for election com—
missioners,- somewhat similar to
plan to.

4. While none of the above plans
contemplate fundamental changes
with reference to elective officials
now provided under the constitution
such as prosecutor, sheriff, clerk,
etc., one group proposes without
abolishing state functions in the
county, the ballot be shortened and
a commission manager form of gov-
ernment be adopted in the county,
providing for appointment of many
subordinate officers now elected by
the people.

All these problems and a score of
other problems must be left for ac-
tion of the legislature of 1923.

Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana,
are among states in which county
commissioners, usually three in a
county are the rule. Michigan and
\Visconsin are the two most back—
ward states in the union with regard
to complexity in county government.
California for about eight years has
been operating satisfactorily under
an optional home rule plan of coun-
ty government. Our plan would per-
mit only two or three possible types
of county government, all under leg-
islative enactment, and absolutely
subject to state law.’ our conten-
tion is that a historical institution so
filled with complexities as Michigan
county government cannot be im-

proved by revolution but must be
helped by a slow process of patient
evolution under state law. There-
fore we cannot answer all possible
questions now as to.what the plan
will do in the end. Our committee
invites suggestions from all quarters.
——W. P. Lovett, Executive Secretary,
Detroit Citizens League.

 

The above letter is an answer to an
inquiry 1 addressed to the. Citizens
League which is one of the active forces
back of county government reform ill
this state, asking the exact nature of the
form of county government proposed.
Mr. Lovett's letter is disappointingly
meagre. One would think that those
who hope to see cheaper and more effic-
ient government of counties would have
a concrete plan to present before any
chages a‘re made. While the Business
Farmer believes that counties who desn‘e
to change their form of government
should have the right to (10 so, we \Vlll
never sponsor a reform in this direction
until we know what kind of a subst1-
tute is to be offered for the present
system.——Editor.

[NOOME TAX A NECESSITY
ESPONDING to your request I
will try and give you an idea
as to tax conditions in this part
of the state and you and your read—
ers can form your own conclusions
in regard to not only the advisabil-
ity but the absolute necessity of a

radical readjustment of our tax
laws.
Since 1909 i find that property

was valued at about $4,000 has been
increased to over $10,000 on the tax
rolls and the per cent from a fraction
over 2 to a fraction less than 4 per
cent, so that the taxes in 1909 on
this property were between .$80- and
$90 and in 1920 they were $400.
with buildings and fencing in not
nearly so good a condition. This is
the proposition that the farmers are
facing, and if there is not relief, and
that soon, there will be more aband—
oned farms than there is now. There
never has been a time when there
were so many taxes returned by our
township treasurers as there were in
1920.

Mr. Barnes comments on rise of
professional and salaried class are
very suggestive and also true. They
are always the ones that favor all
the new—tangled notions that will
bring them in the limelight, and ad—
vocating schemes that. will get more
of their kind into soft jobs and in—
crease their salaries. One of the
state officials who was sent around
to increase the valuation on our
farms admitted that he had sold his
farm and only had about $300 on
the tax rolls and that is the sort of
men that are piling the taxes onto
the overburdened and poorly paid

farmer. “They toil not, neither do
they spin, yet Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of

these.”

They have foisted a fifty million
dollar debt on the state to build fine
roads for the sportsman and resort-
ers and if a hundred or two farmers
ask for a road to get their crops to
market they are coolly told to wait
until they run a trunk line through
miles of pine plains where nobody
lives and where there is not a load
of produce to move in a thousand
years—J. A. Battenfield, Gd. Trav—
erse County.

 

Let's not forget that the people them—
selves voted for the 50 million dollar
bofid issue. Moreover, I find from re—
ports I have received from nearly every
county in the state that the majority of
farmers seem to favor the present road

building program. It is undoubtedly
true that some - mistakes are being
made. Road building authorities still

lean a little too much toward the trunk
line road and not enough toward the
farm-to‘market road. However, we
must: remember that it is only upon the
trunk line roads that the state receives
government aid, and it must build its
trunk lines at a certain rate per year
else its share of federal money goes to
other states. I think you will agree with
me that the building of these trunk line.
roads is not a mistake since the federal
government pays a large part of the ex-
pense. I am sure that if we could have
an income tax to lighten the burden on
real and personal property we could af-
ford to, build our roads and make our
other public improvements without com-

‘ plaint.-——Editor.

I am a subscriber to this paper, and
wish to know if you would please print
these questions to be answered by the
subscribers of the paper. I would like
to know where to send for a ‘tccking
pattern to refoot old stockings, so they

will be as good as new. Is Babbit‘s pot-
ash or Babbit’s lye to be bought at any
store? We cannot purchase tl ’s lye in
out town. Please tell me where can i
send for that kind of lye. Are there any
of the readers of this paper that came
from the old country, Norway? A dear
Norwegian woman gave me a recipe- for
bakles or buckles. I have lost the recipe
but the ingredients are granulated su-
gar, eggs, sweet cream, Wine and carda-
mon seeds for the flavoring part. No
baking powder or soda is added. They
are fried in hot lard same as fried cakes.
I don't know the amount of each ingre-
dient. I ate them at a Norwegian
church social; they are delicious. Can
anyone give me the recipe? I would
like a recipe for a good lemon pic
that is made all at once. I make the
crust and bake it then after the filling
is ready 1 put it in the baked crust and
the meringue On top. then it is put in
the oven to brown the meringue. I think
by putting the ingredients in all at once
in a raw crust instead of a baked crust
saves lot of time. Please send a recipe
to be baked all at once, in a raw crust.—

Here is some work for us all. Let
us each put on a thinking cap and
answer at least some one of these
questions. I will publish the ans-
wers as they will undoubtedly be
of use to many of our readers.

Farmers’ Automobile Trip to Eastern Points

EVERAL letters have
come to me lately
from farmers and farmers’

wives who state they belong to
the Farm Bureau and Gleaners
and wish to know if they can be in-
cludel in the “Michigan Farmers’
Automobile Tour” next August.
They have the impression that no
one but those who belong to the
Grange can go. and wish to know
the truth about the matter.

Gleaners and Farm Bureau mem-
bers have as good a right to enjoy
this tour as any one else this side
the Golden Gate. In fact, a num-
ber of the tourists who went with
me to Mackinac and the 800 last
August belonged to these organiza-
tions, and they have registered to
go again next August. We got ac-
quainted with several on the tour
who belonged to both the Gleaners
and the Farm Bureau. And we
had a mighty fine time of it together.

Any farmer who wishes to go on
the tour next August to Pittsburg
and Wheeling, should send me his
application as soon as possible, and
include $2 registration fee for his
car and himself for the tour. I will
send him a receipt therefor. That
will insure his having a place for his
car in the tour and in the camp each
night along the entire route, with
the various free privileges that will
be furnished. .

Already the limit set for the 150
cars has been reached, and I have
had to raise it to 175 cars. If you
should send me your application and
fee too late, I will return your- fee
to you immediately. So be sure to
make application by early mail.

There will be 175 passenger cars

and 700 tourists in the next tour.
Several trucks will go along to help
the tourists carry some of their
tents, cots, bedding, and so forth.
Four or five portable farm lighting
outfit-i on trucks will light the big
camp each night. One fire depart—
ment truck, and a squad of motor-
cycle patrolmen will keep ahead of
the caxavan each day and one Will
stop at each bad railway crossmg to
warn the car drivers of approaching
r ins.
t aLast August 108 cars and 420
tourists accompanied the writer to
Mackinac in two sections over the
east and west pikes of the Dix1e
Highway. We put the carsr and
tourists up the east pike in charge
of T. 14‘. Marston of Bay City, and 78
cars followed us from Grand Rap—
ids by way of Manistee, Traverse
City, Harbor Springs and Cross
Village to the Straits. A11 wrote
in after the tour was over declaring
they had the time of their lives, and
they have been at me ever Since to
conduct anothr automobile touring
and camping stunt.

These tourists organized at 'our
suggestion into the “Michigan
Farmers’ Automobile Tour Assoc1—
ation” at the Straits on our return
from the S00. Our first reunion will
be on the picnic grounds at M. A. 0.
next June 22 and 23, when we will
all drive to the college with our
camping equipment and camp out,
cook, eat and sleep in and around
our cars, aboutas we did last Au-
gust, and as we will do on the next
tour to Pittsburg and Wheeling. All
new tourists for the 1921 tour will
become members of the tour associ-
ation when they join us at the M. A.
C. reunion. There are no fees or
dues.

The tour for 1921 starts Sunday.
August 7. Early that afternoon the
registered cars and. tourists, will
gather on the Geo. B. Horton farm
at Fruit Ridge, near Adrian, for an
appropriate Sunday program for
both the afternoon and evening. The
cars will line up in a big double an
angle in the large meadow west of
the Horton farm residence. The
camp there, and each night along
the tour route, will be under semi—
military control. All‘ cars will *line
up, under the direction of the tour
camp manager and his assistants,
with headlights to the center of the
camp. and each car will have 20
feet space along the line for car and
tent equipment. The majority of the
cars will be equipped with some
kind of a folding gas stove for

cooking. There were
47 such stoves on the
tour to Mackinac. Any kind
of car tent can be utilized.
Many are of the lean—to style, 7 by
7 or 7 by 9 feet, and attached to
the side of the car. Some are home
made, like our own. Single folding
cots are the most popular, two be-
ing tied together in a tent and used
for a double bed for man and wife.
A pair of small pillows, two sheets
and the bed blankets, make up a
fine sleeping machine that works
like the dickens all night long to
entertain the occupants in restful re-
pose until it’s time to get up and
milk the can of condensed milk into
the coffee cup for breakfast.

Monday, August 8, will be one
whopping big day in camp on the
Horton farm.

There will be forenoon, afternoon
and evening session at Horton's.
The afternoon session will be the
most unique ever held in the whole
country. It will be in the Horton
farm forest, wherein are some'of
the largest and finest white oak
trees in the southern peninsula.
Several trees are nearly seven- feet
in diameter and'160 feet tall. Noted
foresters will. be present to talk on
the problem of farm forest culture
and preservation, and Mr. Horton’s

woods will furnish the proof of what
he has done along this lineu

Band music, community singing,
speeches by noted men and women,
including the editor of this paper,
moving pictures stereopticon slides
to illustrate the subject matter of
some evening talks, sports, and so
forth, will form the program each
day and night along the way.

On Tuesday, August 9, the tour
caravan will drive through Toledo,
to Norwalk, Ohio, and camp over
night Wednesday we drive to
Cleveland and camp two nights.
This gives one whole day for sight-
seeing, speeches, music, moving
picmres and sports. Friday we
drive to Akron and stop for lunch
and inspect Mohawk Rubber C0m~
pany‘s tire factory. That afternoon
drive to Alliance and camp over
night. Next day to Pittsburg and
camp in Shenley Park in a fine lo-
cation right in the city. We stay
there two nights, and drive to

h eling on Monday, August 15.
Tuesday will be one of the biggest
days of the tour, and in our camp
on the island in the Ohio river
where Wheeling, is located. Other
camps are at Zanesville and Colum-
bus, Ohio. Return home may be
made by way of Indianapolis.

TRADE AND MARICET REVIEW

XPERT JUDGES of trade condi-
E tions, the country over, assert
that business in general is
working toward stronger and sound-
er basis. Buyers of certain com-
modities are still hesitating in the
belief that selling values have not
yet touched bottom; buying, in the
departments referred to which in-
clude iron and steel. two of the most
important commodities produced in
this country, is of a hand-to-mouth
character. That trade values are
becoming more stable each week as
time goes on. is shown by the tables
issued by commercial agencies show-
ing the general trend of commodity
prices; there are many articles in
this comprehensive list, that have
been declining for a long time, that
showed no change in values since
this date last month. It is a not-
able tact that the volume of busi-
ness, in all lines that seem to be
down to rock bottom prices, is in-
creasing rapidly.

On the whole, the labor situation
of the world is still decidedly com-
plicated; the British coal strike,
which was thought to be practically
settled when this paper went to
press last week is still pending. Add-
ing greatly to her anxiety, England
has another major strike to deal
with in the general walk-out of her
cotton spinners. The seamen’s
strike is still unsettled and the coun-
try is wondering what the American
railroad workers will do when their
big wage cut goes into effect. A
crumb of cncoururz'emcnt came early
in the week when the great army of
eastern clothing workers went back
to work, accepting a 15 per cent
wage cut.

The general industrial and manu-

facturing situation is greatly im-
proved from the standpoint of de-

mand; the cut in prices made by
many of the leading manufacturers
of automobiles and motor trucks, is
said to have resulted in a greatly in—
creased dcmand and the result is
that many factories are increasing
their commitments for material and
hiring more men. The extile indus-
try is enjoying the first real pros-
perity that it has known since the
readjustment began: the demand for
cloth is increasing, foreshadowing
all active fall demand for suitings
and top coat material for both sev-
es. American millcrs report a bet-
ter demand for flour and manufact-
urers of corn products are looking
for an early revival in the call for
their various products.

As indicated above, a mixed situ-
ation exists in connection with the
demand for manufacturers” raw
material and the various basic pro-

ducts such as iron, steel. lumber.
wool, hides and leather. Building
contractors are fighting current

prices for material and the result-
ant stagnation in building operations.
the country over, is doing more to
block the advent of a general busi-
ness revival than any other influ-
ence. The wool market is quiet but
firm, several large western pools
having recently sold large quanti-
ties of fine and medium grades: the
demand for bright wools is negli-
gible at this writing. Hides are dull
but firm at the scale of values that
has prevailed for the last 60 days.

The passing of every week sees
a marked improvement in the fin-
ancial situation and the belief is be-
coming general that this country will
see a great commercial and indus-
trial revival when the crop move-
ment. begins, next fall. Advices
from the corn belt and many other
great agricultural districts of the
country. indicate that the farmer is
keeping down his cost of production
and greatly diversifying his plant-
ing operations. Farmers are able to
get all the money they need at lu-
sonable rates of interest and the ten-
sion, which for the past six months
has gripped rural life, like the M
of a vise, is rapidly relaxing.

The opening day of the market
last, week. which was the. last day
of May, closed with May delivory en—
tirely in the hands of the bulls at
the highest price of the season. July
delivery also established a, new high
mark last week. It was thought, by
many that it had borrowed strength
from the May delivery and that af—
ter Tuesday it would soon break and
turn lower but they were mistaken.
Receipts at Chicago were of fair

volume but not sufficient to fill the,

demands. Bullish news from the
fields assisted wheat to advance the
forepart of the week but consider—
able rain fell where most needed the
middle of the Week, which was a

bearish factor, and prices went low-.

er from then until the close. In
spite of the weak and lowering
tendency of the market the latter
part of e week Detroit prices were
higher on Saturday of last week
than they were on the same day the
week before. Millers were not in—
terested. Europe was frightened
over the crop shortage scare in this
country and bought liberally of both
old wheat and the new crop. It
is now believed that foreigners will
take practically all of the early mar—
ketings. France is] in need of a large
quantity and rumors have. it that
Germany, Creche and some other
countries are in the market for sev—
eral million bushels. Chicago re-
ceived 1.254.000 bushels last week,
compared with 387,000 a year ago;
shipments from that point. were 253.—
000 bushels. Markets opened low-
er Monday of this week owing to
good weather. However, active
buying by commission houses soon
caused the market to regain some of
the earlier loss. Export demand
was inclined to be light.

CORN

Corn prices_advanced the early
part of last week in spite of the fact
that receipts were the largest they
had been for some time, Most of
the corn that arrived was to apply
on former sales and did not appear
on the market. Elevator interests

were friendly to the market and
bought all grain that was offered.
Houses with seaboard connections
were active in the market and it is
believed foreigners can use large
quantities of this coarse grain. Ar-
gentine is preparing to market her
corn in Europe, believing the emer-
gency tariff bill shut it out of the
markets of this country. 6,520,000
bushels of corn were attracted to Chi-
cago last week, while on the same
week a. year ago 1,102,000 bushels
were received. Shipments amount-
ed to 2,711,000 bushels. Corn
weakened the middle of the week
but again ruled strong on the clos—
ing day. This strength was in evi—
dence on the opening day of this
week and prices advanced along with
wheat. Receipts from country ele~
vators were large but farmers are
not active sellers at present and as
soon as the elevators clean up their
stocks receipts will take a slump.

Oats followed corn last week.
There was not. much activity in the
market at any point, as there was
very little export, business and ship—
ping demand was only fair. Re-
ceipts for the week at Chicago were
1.023 cars, against 301 the same
week a year ago. More than the
usual amount of oats arrived at Chi-
eago but. the greater percentage of
them were applied on to arrive 01‘-

RYE

Dealers who accept orders for rye
are having busy times trying to fill
the orders as the surplus of this
grain seems to be about all sold. De-

that quoted on this page last week.

Old potatoes went as low as 50
cents a cwt. last week at Chicago.
One year ago they were $7.50 per
cwt. on this same market. Receipts
were large last week but were well
cleaned up by Saturday. The mar-
kets at New York, Pittsburg and De-
troit were easy and the Pittsburg
market was the only one to show
any reduction of consequence in
prices. On Monday of the current
week Detroit received an ample sup-
ply of new stock and old spuds did
not receive a very hearty welcome.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

Cattle receipts, for last week’s
five—day market at Chicago, were
40,238 being 13,000 under the rec-
ord run of the week before but 3,-
000 larger than for the correspond—
ing week, last. year. All grades 'of
killing cattle advanced sharply on
Tuesday, the first market day of
the week, but the advance was lost,
heavy steers and yearlings closing
the week about on a par with the
week before. Heavy cattle were
dull and draggy all the week and
the close for this kind was probably
somewhat weaker than on the close
of the week before. Butchers cat-
tle. canners and cutters closed the
week about 25 cents lower than the
close of the week before but bulls
showed a gain of the same amount.

\

The trade in stockers and feeders
was extremely narrow and very
dull. II“’he top for mature cattle was
89.40 and for yearlings, $9.50 per
lundredweight. .

Steers, averaging around 1,250,
outsold heavier; weights all the
week but prime yearlings got the at-
tention every time they were offer-
'ed; two loads of 1,034 lb. Hereford
yearlings brought $9.50 on Thurs-
day but, for the most part, $9.25
was high for this kind. Exporters
bought a few more cattle last week
than they did the week before. East-
ern dressed beef markets shewed a
firmer tone all the week, the ad-
vance at some points equaling $2
per cwt. Chicago advanced the sell-
fng price of dressed beef 50 cents
per cwt. last week. On Monday of
the current week, Chicago got a lib—
oral run of cattle and prices were
lower than the close of the week be-
fore; buying was extremely active.

A Come-back was staged in the
deep department of the Chicago
market, last week and prices were
diarply higher for all grades that
carried killing quality.

Spring lambs scored an upward
turn which equaled $1 to $1.50 per
cwt. over the average of the week
before. The top for California
springers was $13.65 and for best

natives, out of western ewes, $13.
Dry-fed yearling lambs, minus the
fleece, topped at $12.50. A few
western lambs, carrying the wool
and weighing above 100 pounds,
were cashed at $12 per cwt. Chi»

cago got 51,583 sheep and lambs,
last week, being 24,000 under the
week before and the smallest run
of the year to date. Feeders took
a fair number of lambs, last week,
paying from $4.50 to $5.50 per cwt.

Chicago got only 90,000 hogs, last
week, being a decrease from the rec-
ord showing of the week before, of
78,600 and 88,400 less than for the
corresponding week last year.
Eleven of the leading markets of the
country got 414,000 hogs last week;
this was the smallest supply for
these markets since last October, be-
ing 213,000 smaller than the week
before, 226,000 smaller than for the
same week, last year and 350,000
smaller than two years ago, when

pose “pooling ideas and problems,”
so here goes, the BUSFNESS FABMER
will have the first one!

We want strictly farming prob-
lems that you want answered by
other farmers for this department.
The questions which come to our
Farmers’ Service Bureau are ans-
wered by experts, specialists in their
lines. When we get a question for
that department we go to the man
who knows most about it and get his
opinion at any cost. Our editors,
thank heaven, do not try to answer
everything from “how to hold a fel-
ler” to “how to cure a dog of fleas.”

But this Experience Pool we want
to be different, we want it to come
right from the men who are doing
the things every day in the fields,
barns and orchards they are talking
about.

You have a problem now which is
bothering you. You want to get
other farmers' experiences with the
mme problem. You don't want an
expert's opinion. You don’t want
our editor’s opinion. You want to
know what other farmers would ad-
vise. Well, here is the place to ask
mr it.

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER

eleven markets in one week. The
receipts for the year to date in the
markets referred to are 13,280,000
being 749,000 smaller than for the
like period last year and 2,557,000
smaller than two years ago. The 13-
year average, at eleven markets,
was 549,000 larger than this year’s
showing.

Last week’s hog shipments from
Chicago were unusually large show-
ing a gain of 4,500 over the previous
week when receipts were nearly
twice as large. The average weight
at 234 pounds was 5 pounds lighter
than the week before, and the spread
between light and heavy killing hogs
was the narrowest for the season, so
far. The average cost of Chicago
hogs, last week, at $7.90, was the
lowest since pre—war times being 25
cents per cwt. lower than the av-
erage of the week before; $6.25
lower than for the same week, last
year; $12.30 lower than for two
years ago and $3.50 lower than the
ten—year average.

 

MICHIGAN FRUITS SUFFER TEE
LEAST FROM FROST
( Continued from page 3)
JACKSON—“Will have few plums

and pears. Strawberries short crop.
Some varieties of apples, such as
Baldwins, Spies and Russets give
promise of good crop.”——C. V. Bal-
lard.

MARQUETTE—“The frost of

March and April did no harm what-
ever to fruit in Marquette county.
The frost of a week ago did no harm
to the orchard fruits. Our cherries
and apples are in full bloom right
now. There may possibly have
been some damage to the strawber-
ries even though the blueberries on
the plains seem to be in good con-
dition.”——-L. R. Walker.

MASON—~“The snow storm 'of
April 16th damaged the sour cher-
ries from 50' to 75 per cent; sweet
cherries suffered also though not so
much as did the sours. Apple ap-
parently suffered but very little.
The frost of May 14th and 15th
damaged the strawberries about 50
per cent. 1 cannot tell you exactly
how much damage was done to rasp-
berries, cnrrants apparently Were not
damaged at all and apples were un-
injured. We shall have a light crop
of Montmorencies and probably a
little more of the Richmonds. Sweet
cherries may be from 40 to 50 per
cent of a crop and apples probably
quite heavy; bloom was good and
can stand quite a severe drop.”—
Kris P. Bernie.

MONTCAJlM—“In regards to the
frost damage to orchard crops in
Montcalm county. The early fruit
such as plums, cherries and peach-
es were damaged very severely.
Plums I believe will be a total fail-

ure. There will be a light crop of
cherries and but very few peaches.
Apples seem to show no sign of
frost, a few strawberry patches
show slight injury, otherwise I am
looking for a fairly good crop of
small fruits."—l3. E: Shoffcr.

MUSKICGON—"The cold weather
of last week did some damage in this
section, although not as much as
was reported at the time. Apples
were not hurt at all but cherries
were quite badly damaged, accord-
ing to reports. An average would be
50 per cent. Peaches were out
about 40 to 50 per cent and pears
damaged to some extent. Sour cher-
ries were bit harder than the sweet.
Small fruits were not hurt much by
this spell it seems, but were cut
badly by the last frost, some esti-
mate the crop at about 20 per cent
while one farmer who has canvass-
ed considerable territory here and
into Ottawa county says there will
be about a 50 per cent crop. Rasp-
berries were hurt also though it is
hard to tell how much."—Dwig‘ht 0.
Long.

OAKLAND—"I have found that
in this county strawberries have
been quite badly damaged, probably
two-thirds of the blossoms having
been damaged by the frost of May 8.
The grapes have been from back
three times by the late frosts and
just how many fruit buds we can
hope for from them this summer is
a matter of conjecture. However,

we are sure the crop will be light.
Plums, likewise, are quite largely
gone, practically all of the Japan-
ese varieties being damaged. Near-
ly all of the early sour cherries and
the sweet cherries have been destroy-
ed. Much to our surprise, the

peach crop has quite largely escap— ‘

ed. Although the peach area in this
county is small. Trees are carrying
quite a lot of peaches. We notice
that after peaches get out of bloom,
they will stand more cold weather
than apples or pears. With regard
to the apple crop, the question is
hard to answer. In the first place,
we had about one-third of a normal
bloom. Of this one-third, such,va-
rieties as the Wealthy that are in—
clined to be a little tender in the
fruit have been generally killed,
while hardier sorts like the Spy and
McIntosh Red are much better off,
and will yield a small crop. We sus-
pect that from one-fifth to one-tenth
of a normal crop will be all we can

hope for in this county of the apple

fruit."—C. B. Cook.

OCEANA—“The cold weather and
frosts in April did the most damage
to cherries in this county. Sour
cherries were injured more than the
sweet. Present indications are that
cherries will be less than half of a
normal crop. Other fruits were not
much injured by the early frosts ex—
cept a few of the more tender
plum varieties. The recent frost
caused a damage. which at present
appears to have been quite serious,
although quite spotted in its action.
I cannot give you very accurate fig-
ures. Strawberries in bloom were
badly hurt but undoubtedly the last
bloom will furnish a good crop.
Plums, peaches and apples were kill-
ed in some sections. Estimating in

 

—- ..__—.__—.v.~_,

 

i

a rather general way would say that/t
apples promise a normal crop,
peaches the same, plums three—

fourths of normal. As you will ap-
preciate, it is somewhat difficult to
put figures on a fruit crop that
holds good for any length of time. I
believe however that my estimation
is fairly conservative.”——I. 'I'. Pick~
ford.

OTTAWA—“Following is brief re-
port of frost damage in Ottawa
county made after a close observa-
tion of fruit farms in the largest
fruit sections of the county. Of
course conditions may change but
this report is made on present con-
dition. The frost was very spotted,
some places were hard hit and oth-
ers suffered but very little. Apples
The early apples were mostly frozen

by the frost three weeks ago. Late
apples somewhat affected by last
frost. Lots of young apples falling.

This fall of apples usually comes in
June when nature thins out apples.
Appears as though the frost did the

work of thinning this year. Prob-
ably forecast a 60 per cent crop.
Peaches—Practically all gone, also

 

plums and cherries. Grapes Some
report entire failure, other report
75 per cent crop. Would say that I
expect about a 40 per cent crop.
Strawberries—So many blossoms
formed since the frost that it looks
as though about a 10 per cent dam—
age inflicted. If all the blooms de-
veloped there would be a 200 per
cent crop, but the frost has been
nature’s way of holding the plants
down to a crop which they could
support. The limiting factor as I
see it with the berry crop this year
is the lack of moisture in the soil.
A dry fall followed by an open wint-
er leaving the soil in too dry a con-
dition, then too much rain in March
which mostly ran off in open drains
left soil too dry. Needs rain badly.
Raspberries and other bush fruits——
Some damage inflicted but unable to
state accurately the amount of dam-
age. Pears do not seem to have suf-
fered much."———-Clinton P. Milham.

PRESQUE ISLE—“In reply to
your letter I will say that neither
the early frost in March and April
or the late frost in May have done
any great amount of damage in our
county. I believe the prospects of
a. fruit crop are about normal."—
CoIond McCrory.

SAGINAW—“The frosts of April
did not damage fruit of this section
as our orchards have very few chor-

THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER

CANADIAN _PROGRESSIVES LED
BY MICHIGAN MEN

(Continued from page ' 1)

Michigan and Wisconsin states
have much the same pioneer history
as Ontario and Quebec. The scholar
finds the tracks everywhere of the
early missionaries. Marquette has
direct family relatives who are prom-
inent farmers in Dundas county,
Ontario, named Mullin. Mrs. Mullin,
Sr., was a Marquette, and two of
her daughters, Mrs. J. M. Grace and
Mrs. T. D. Grace are in the agrari-
an movement in Mackenzie county,
Saskatchewan.

What are the aims, policy and
hopes of the progressives or agrari-
an leaders in Canada. Unlike the
Populists in the western states of
the American nation, and the
Granges or Patrons of , Industry,
who flourished in Ontario in the
early ’90’s the agrarian project in
Canada has passed the experimental
stage. Four of the largest provinces
or states of the Dominion are today
successfully governed by farm ad-
ministration. Britain will be com—
pelled to remove the embargo on
Canadian live cattle. Their defense
of it is stupid and ridiculous. I
asked Mr. J. J. Morrison of Toronto
who created the organization and
Drury government and Mr. Barneby
the president for Ontario, for a
concise definition of policy, and they
replied: “You may say to the read-
ers of THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARM-
ER that we have over $7,000,000 in—
vested in agriculture in this coun-
try and have practically nothing to
say in the government of the na-
tion. It is nearly as bad at Wash—
ington as at Ottawa in that regard.
Better 1aWs for the producers; co-
operation in purchasing farm im-
plements and equipment; the aboli-
tion of the middleman in feeding
the masses; better rural roads; ex-
ercising more care in the selection
of seeds and sires; improved facil—
ities for marketing or withholding

from speculators the grain crop,
dairy products and live stock for
export; demand that our interna-

tional tariffs shall not be aimed at
the producer; co—operation in house—
hold work such as washing, milking.
baking and a general lightening of
the burdens of the farmers, artisans,
wives and daughters”

These are only some of the re-
forms, but the chief aim of the Pro-

gressives will be to banish from
office the ministerialists and the
“invisible dictators who own the

cabinet, and are exploiting the reve-
nue and resources of the Dominion”’

With the young men fleeing from
the rural farms as they have been in
25 years time the cities would, I

contend, be facing starvation and
the land would be either pasture
fields or deserted homesteads We

ave a remedy. It is to build up and

not exploit our country. Such is
our politics.
PLANT LICE THAT KILL FARM

CROPS AND “THAT TO USE
TO COMBAT THEM
(Continued. from page 4)
ies and which loves oats better than
anything else. It is, also, an insect
which makes trouble during sea-
sons that open with cold wet springs.
The creature goes through the wint-
er in a partially grown condition
and produces three generations, the
one which comes out during mid—
summer usually doing all the dam-
age. Once in a long time the spring
generation makes trouble and oc-
casionally the one which comes out
in September but the July and Au-
gust generation is commonly the

one that devastvates our crops.

Now, like all cut-aworms, the army
worm works at nigh-t and cuts off
its food and Wilts it before eating
very much of it. It loves oats more
than anything else and examination
of an oats field will, sometimes,
show the leaves trimmed off from
the stalks, leaving bare poles, like
fish poles instead of the normal leaf
covered straws. It is well for the
farmer to examine such fields care—
fully for the loss of leaves on the
plants and if one finds the leaves
are being pruned off then make
further examination at night with
a lantern when the small army

worms move, worms one-half to
three~fourths of an inch long work-
ing away ‘on the stalks. When they
are found then I would use 9015011
bran bait, immediately, and kill off
the worms in the small areas which
are usually all that are' infested.
When the worms once attain any
size and begin to show a disposition
to spread out then more drastic
measures become necessary, like
ditches or plowing furrows in order
to restrict and keep them from
spreading into hitherto uninvaded
fields or parts of fields.

“BIG FOUR GROCERY” GETS ITS
ORDERS
LOOnti‘nued from page 5)
tinuing the practice of deceptive
advertising. The Commission’s rul-
ing is as follows:

“The Big Four Grocery Company,”
Chicago, 111., by recent order of the
Federal Trade Commission, must re-
frain from certain competitive meth-
ods in advertising and selling com—

bination or assorted lots of groc-'

cries.

“It was found that combination
lots, as advertised by this company.
consisted of some staple articles
whose quality and price were well
known to the public, but that the
greater part of the lot consisted of

articles whose quality and price
were not known to the public.
“Sugar was advertised at 4 1-2

cents per pound, flour at $7.98 a
barrel, soap 2 cents a cake and
Quaker Oats at 4 cents per package.
to lead the public to believe that all
the groceries in a given lot were pro—
portionately low. In order to get
the low priced articles, the purchas—
er was required to buy the entire
lot. The trial developed that the
articles whose quality and price
were not know were listed suffici-
ently high to give a. satisfactory
profit on the whole lot, the little
known articles being high priced to
offset the low priced well-known
articles.

“The order requires the Big Four
Grocery Company to dis-continue any
false and misleading advertising con-

cerning its combination ‘lots of
groceries, and to discontinue any
false advertising concerning the

prices at which its competitiors sell.”

PAYBIENT OF NOTE

I am enclosing herewith copy of note
given by two men, A and B to me.
placed note in bank for collection. The
bank notified A that note was due. A
called at bank and said as soon as he
got some money he would pay up inter-
est and wanted an extension of one
year which was agreed on. But A never
got around to pay interest so after note
had run over several months A said he
couldn‘t pay the note. Then the bank
notified B that note was past due and
would have to be fixed up. Bank ask—
ed to give new one and B refused to put
his name on a new note saying he was
not holding because bank did not notify
him that it was not paid when due. A
is B’s son-in-law. A is not collectable
but R is. Can B get out of paying note?
»——F‘. C. S., Maple Ridge, Mich.

 

As he waived notice, etc., he is
liable in full upon the note—Legal
Editor.

TUITION FOR PUPILS IN HIGH
SCHOOL

I am a resident and taxpayer of a.
school district that does not maintain a
high school. My children are of school
age and hold eighth grade certificates
and have made proper application for
tuition. Can I compel the said district
to pay tuition to the tenth grade smnrner
school which has at least one teacher
spending his entire teaching time to the
eighth, ninth and tenth grades? If so
what steps should I take if the district
board refuses to pay?———-P. J., Sumner,
Mich.

The law regulating the payment
of tuition for 8th grade pupils in a
high school is found in the school
laws of 1919, on page 220 (508). It
Is too long to print in full and may
be found with any school officer.—
Legal Editor.

PENSION

Could you tell me through the Farm—
ers’ Service Bureau if there has been a
law passed in 1919 or 1920 giving the
war widows of the Civil War, that was
married in 1900 or before, a pension?—
A. Reader, Elwell, Mich.

Write the pension department,
Washington, D. 0., giving full par-
ticulars and they can inform you.—

E W ES THIN

A year ago I bought some brooding
ing ewes with lambs. Had them on fair-
lv good pasture all summer and they
were very thin when, it came fall; the
lambs wore also very thin. None of
them did well all summcr. Now the
ewes are having lambs again and there
are over half of them that have no milk
for their lambs when they come. They
just drop them and walk away and pay
no attention to the lamb. I have not
had very much experience in the sheep
business and I am at a loss as to what
is the mutton—J, R. H., (lladwin, Mich.

Your trouble is caused by the de-
bilitated condition of your ewes
while carrying their young and the
weakened condition has sapped the
very life out of them. Separating
the pregnant ewes for the Winter
season is the best system, for then
the danger of abortion from crowd—
ing and bruising is lessened.‘ Only
the brightest and cleanest of food
should be fed to pregnant ewes.
Turnips and cabbage make a good
green food ration, while mangels
and sugar beets are not recommend—
ed for lambing season. Before
lambing the food should be abund-
ant and laxative, a pound of equal
parts of bran and oats being a fine
addition to the hay ration. When
the weather is not too stormy or wet,
the animals should have plenty of

exercise. This will prevent many
cases of parturition. In the early
spring, after a hard snowy winter,

when the band is turned out to pick
over the rough part of the ranch,
many abortions and deaths occur
among the ewes from eating brush,
moss or any green forage that may
be full of turpentine, or other toxic
ingredients. Frozen roots. spoiled
silage, mouldy hay, and an exclu—
sive diet of timothy have caused the
death of many a pregnant ewe. When
the lambing season arrives. the ewes
expected to lamb early should be
given a roomy pen. dry. clean and
quiet. As ewes seldom lamb be-
tween midnight and early in the
morning, one should watch them at
all hours, except this time. When
a lamb gets away from its mother
and she later refuses to claim it,
they should be put in a pen together.
If the mother butts it away, she
should be tied up and the lamb al-
lowed to suck. This usually causes
a family reunion. ' '

MICHIGAN FRUITS BUFFER THE
LEAST FROM FROSTS

(Continued from page 11)

ries or early fruits. At the time of
the snow storms we were afraid of
the early apple crop but during the
last few weeks we have seen so many
blossoms that it seems our predic-
tions of loss Were far away from
being accurate. So that your idea
of slight damage during April is
undoubtedly very good. The cold,
freezing weather of the past 10 days
has damaged gardens and small
fruits. Tomatoes, beans, etc. of the
gardens are badly frozen. Of course
these can be planted over again
without loss. Strawberries will be
a very, very light and would not be
surprised if late apples have been
badly damaged'."———A. G. Bovay.

SHIAWASSEE—“Regarding dam-
age to fruits by frost, believe from
what orchard-men say that apples
were hurt to some extent in many
cases 33 1-2 per cent. In unspray-
ed orchards the cancer worm is go-
ing through like wild-fire and will
materially reduce the crop. Cherries,
plums and small fruits were dam-
aged badly cutting the yield 50 to
75 per cent depending upon loca-
tion. Strawberries will be about 1—2
crop with very few cherries or
plums. There will be some rasp-
berries and plenty of blackberries."
——J. V. Sheap.

ST. CLAIRr—“The frost of a week
ago did considerable damage to the
strawberries especially. The dam-
age to clover is quite perceptible
too. The fruit crop will probably
be about 25 per cent to 30 per cent
below normal in this county.”——C.
M. Kidman.

ST. JOSEPH—“The early freez-
ing weather came at a time when
the peach trees were in full bloom
and killed practically all of them.
Of course a few trees escaped. The
cherries were also damaged to about
the same extent. Apples were not
hurt by .this frost. Our orchards of
peaches and cherries are not large,
but the damage to our small or-
chads for home consumption has
been great. Each farmer plans to
raise a plenty of fruit for his own
use, so we feel the loss. One indi-
vidual truck farmer estimates his
loss by the frost of 15th as over
$400. Our largest strawberry farm
of over 100 acres of berries report
a big loss by this last frost of the
15th. We cannot estimate the loss
to our large apple orchards by the
frost of a week ago, but the apples
are beginning to fall and another
week will tell the story.-—A. J.
Hutchins. ‘

TUSCOLA—“Fruit of no conse-
quence in this locality, therefore,
doesn’t enter into any consideration.
Orchards improperly taken care of.
Unable to determine whether dam-
age is due to frost or lack of care.”
—-Alex McVittie.

VAN BURTON—“Practically no
peaches. Duchess apples injured
seriously by blight at blossoming
time. Some early apples damaged
by frosts. Late apples promise a
fair crop although dry weather will
cause a heavy drop unless we get
rain soon. Grapes seriously damag—
ed by the freeze of late April and

'again by frosts of a week ago. Small

fruits need rain badly now and were
hurt some by frosts—W. C. Eckard.

WAYNE—“The frost damage in
Wayne county so far as tree fruits
are concerned was not nearly as ser—
ious as most peopletried to make
out. However, due to the frost in-
jury plus wet weather at time of
cherry pollination, the cherry crop
will be comparatively small. Most
of the apples did not blossom as fully
as last year so that there will also
be, naturally, a smaller apple crop
than last year, and further injury
was produced by the frost. So far
as small fruits are concerned, the
only injury was done to strawberries
and that from the last frost of a
week ago. The frost, however. was
very spotted even in the same field
so that but a portion of the fields
were hit. I would estimate that this
frost did from fifteen to twenty per
cent damage. In some places, the
grapes were damaged somewhat, a1-
t'hough a large proportion of them
came through without serious
harm."—-—0. I. Gregg.
