-Dey when Sole Purpose was to Increase Production has Passed, Says Secretary of Agriculture

j - I HAT WONDERFUL extension in
'- ' - the agriculture of the Nation has
 place during the last fifty‘ years.
During this period we have possessed the

land. These, years witnessed the develop- \

ment‘ of the great agricultural empire west
of the“M13s‘fssippi River. In that time our
cotton production has increased almost five
times; cur...wheat production about four
timesrourjarn production more than three
times; . and other crops _ in like propertion.
We-have taken up practically all of the
easily unable land of the Nation. It has
'_ been ~a  of, cheap food during which ,
 building of citieg and the establishinent
of industrial enterprises has gone forward
at a rate never before witnessed in all his-
tery." L  - ' '

- r ,  elopment of Agricultural Science

I "In partgthis tremendous increase in food
production was the result of . adding vast
areas to our cultivated land, but much of it
was, due, to the scientific research and in-
ventive genius“ of the thousands of young
, men who got their inspiration and training
in- agricultural colleges. . For it is during
this period that we have seen the develop—
ment of agricultural science. The nation-
al Department of Agriculture’Was created;
the State experiment stations were estab-
lished; the extension system of carrying.
the teachings of the colleges and the discov-
‘eriesof the scientiststo the men on the
farms was developed.  these
agencies the Nation is richer by thousands
of new varieties ‘of plants introduced from
other lands 0r created by scientific breed-
ing. We have discovered plants better
adapted to our colderr‘climates, Your arid re-
gions, our higher altitudes; diseaseresist—
ant  have been developed and
drought-resistant varieties. During this
period also our scientists have built up
practically ourentire mass of knowledge
concerning the diseases of plants and ani-
_ They have discovered methods of
control of . these diseases, and insecticides
and fungicides. They invented the dust
j gun, and the spray pump. They have
eradicated plane-pneumonia, 'foo’oand-
mouth disease, and have practically con-
quered Texas fever, hog cholera, and a. host .

RIGHT NOW at the turning point in

 

 

 

 

 

 

~‘the older nations. During this period also

we have seen the evolution of our. great
transportation system, which has enabled
us to move the products of ~ our farms to the ,
centers of population and at a less cost than
ever known. We have seen the building.
up of our meat packing. industry and sim-
ilar enterprises which make possible the
largest utilization of farm products.

This fifty years spans a period of agri-
cultural development wholly unparalleled
in history, and our agricultural colleges
have played a wonderful part in this de-
velopment. ‘It was quite natural that the
efforts of such institutions should be direc-
ted largely toward acquiring and dissem-
inating information which would enable
our farmers to produce more and better.
It was a great campaign to possess the land
and to feed our rapidly growing popula-
tion. The colleges entered into what was
an almost unexplored field. The unknown
regions of agricultural science lay before
them, and it was their task to do the pre-

‘hmjnary work of exploring these regions,

blazing new trails, building bridges, and in
short do just about the same sort of work
in their field of endeavor that the pioneer
farmer did in his. , ,
‘Agritultural Depression and. Low Prices
But changing times bring changed con-
ditions. And with changed conditions of-
ten we find the need, if not for a redirec-
tion of effort, then for the taking on of
new and enlarged duties. We seem to haVe
come to a. new era in our National life.
Following 1914, when almost half the civ-
ilized world was drawn into mortal con-
flict, it was natural that the withdrawal'of
millions of men from productive eiforts~
should result in increased demands for the
products of our own farms. With the end

of hostilities we, entered a “ reconstruction .

period, and now we are in the grip of an ag— .
ricultural depression and low prices for
 crops due, in' part, to overstinmlation
ofproducfion to meet war ’s demands and

colleges, experiment stations, and all other

institutions charged with the duty of pro-

moting the food supply of the Nation.
Land Once in Abundance

Fifty years ago there was land in abund-
ance for all who wanted to farm. It could

. be had for the mere living on it or for two

or three dollars an acre. Today that land is

' selling at from one hundred to three hund-

red dollars per acre. Fifty years ago the
young farmer who had the will to work,
who had a good wife, and who had saved
enough money to buy a team and a few sim-
ple implements, could move into the great
west with the almost certain assurance that
after a time he would own his own farm
and home. Today a capital equal to from
twenty to fifty thousand dollars is required
to carry on farming in the great surplus-
producing states. The matter of financial
credit, therefore, has become one of our
most pressing problems.

With the growth of our cities and our
various industries, there came a steadily in-
creasing demand for labor and at wages
considerably more than the farm. could af-
ford to pay. This has made it necessary to
greatly multiply human labor by means of
mechanical devices and machinery of one
sort or another, and this also required addi-
tional capitaL

The problem of distribution is one of in-
creasing complexity and made worse by the
increased transportation charges which, if
they continue for any length of*"timc sub-
stantially greater than they have been in
the past, are likely to make changes in our
agricultural and industrial map.

Such conditions as I have mentioned, to-
gether with a number .of others of almost
equal importance, present to us some of the
larger problems with which the agriculture
of the Nation must deal during the life
time of the present generation. Looking
back we can see now that if our agricultur-
al colleges haVe failed to measure up to
their greatest .opportunities of service that
failure is due to confining practically all of
their effort to the promotion of greater pro-
duction and giving so little attention to the
no less important matter . of agricultural
economics. During the past five years we
have been keenly aware of our distressing
lack of knowledge of these great economic
forces which exercise such merciless power
over those who ignore them or fail to under.
stand them. Had we spent even one-quar-

. ter as much time and energy in the study of

economics 5applied to agriculture as we have
spent in the study of production, it is not 7

going too' far to say that we might have

avoided many \of the ‘ troubles- which now

RAPID GROWTH

ELEGATES to the first annual

meeting of the Michigan State

Farm Bureau Elevator "Ex-
change at Lansing Tuesday, July 19,
will find that their organization has
alm'ost exceeded its original size by
four. times, and all within a year.
Representatives from '85 organiza-
tions will attend the meeting. The
elevator exchange started off Octob—
er _20, 1920, with 23'members.

The delegates will find as their
task the business of preparing the
elevator exchange to, operate on the
basis of 100 elevators or more within
the coming year. Business has ex-
panded even faster than the growth
of! the Organization itself. Starting
with a business of $61,000 a month
in November, 1920, the farmers' or-
ganization climbed to a business of
more than $600,000 during the
month of June, 1921. From desk
room in the main office ofthe state

farm bureau headquarters in Lans- -

ing, the elevator exchange has ex-
panded so that it takes in a whole
wing of-‘the state headquarters

building and has three sales special--

ists in charge of its business.

.Representing-a great volume of
grain, the exchange has always'had
the attention of the great exporters
and has been able to keep in close
touch with the great grain, bean and
hay marketing centers, says L. E.
O-smer, exchange manager. .A con-
‘stant stream of market information
“from these sources and close con-
,nection with the elevators of the ex—
change has enabled the elevators out
in the state to act promptly on re-
cent upturns of the market, accord—
ing to reports to the elevator ex-
change.

says the farm bureau traffic de-
partment. The concession is expect-
ed to effect great savings to shippers
of livestock and should affect a
great economy in getting small ship—
ments of livestock to market, adds
the farm bureau.

The privilege of stopping live—
stock cars in transit to complete
loading was revoked early in the
war by the railroads when all trans-
portation matters were emergency
propositions. The stoppage of a
livestock car to complete loading
then meant that a whole trainload
of war materials was tied up for that
length of time. The privilege was
held in abeyance during the-entire
period of Federal control and was
not removed until recently. The
Michigan Central is the first to an—
nounce its removal, - although the
farm bureau took the matter up
with the Michigan Freight Commit-
tee and the Central Freight Associ-
ation. '

 

SCRUB RAM BEINQ DISCARDED
“ I—IE SCRUB ram is going into

the discard so fast these days ‘

that is almost makes one dizzy
to watch it," says Don Williams,
specialist in sheep extension work
for the Michigan Agricultural Col—
lege, who is conducting extension
work in sheep husbandry in connec-
tion With the state farm bureau wool
pool. Mr. Williams holds the wool
pool largely responsible, declaring
that the obj t lesson of more mon-
ey for be er"*‘wool, seen every day
at farm bureau grading stations
throughout the state, has the farm-
ers talking. V

It‘is Mr. Williams’ prediction that ,
the next year will see more pure—r
bred rams and more culling of light ‘
shearing and short wool sheep on.
Michigan farms than has been seen .

in any five‘years gonegby. Farmers

are seeing every day that it doesn't.
really cost anymore to producevthe,

combing grades tof, wool than ‘it

pure-bred rams, says Mr. Williams. '

Probably 20,000 Michigan farm-
ers Will be reached this summer by,
the practical wool producing instruc-
tion which is carried on by the .farm

bureau as part of its 1921 wool pool- .

ing program. At every one of the

i 130 grading warehouses scores of

farmers'will see the grading of the
who! they brought 'in and that
brought by their neighbors. Reasons
for low grades are explained by the
graders and suggestions for improv-
ing the flock are to be had by the
owner if he desires it. .
Mr.'Willia»ms tells of one grader
going out to a farmer’s wagon to

' get him and talk over with him his‘

wool and show him what could be
done. Farmers want to know What
kind of a' ram to get for their par-
ticular flock and they are being told.

Experienced sheepmen are declared ’

to have gotten a tip or two at some
of the gradings which induCed them
to lay out a new plan for handling
their sheep. ' '

The difference today in the medi-
um wools for'the combing and the
clothing grades is six cents a pound
and thepsame difference in the fine"
wools is ten cents a pound, says Mr.
Williams, adding that pure—bred
rams and culling the flock \would

get the farmer that better price on. >

a better grade of wool.

Two years of wool grading have
resulted in many evidences of bet-
ter management of farm flocks and
the handling of wool as it goes to
market Nowadays fewer fleeces
come to the grader with the, tags
tied inside. They are sacked sep-

arately and the whole fleece is the.

better for it. The result is that
fewer fleeces are docked as diScount
wool and the grower is winning a
name as a careful wool man.

. Burry' and chatty fleeces are not
near so numerous. Knowing the
value of ,a clean fleece, the grower
is now cleaning up his pastures,
fencing ofl his strawstacks and take
ing more care in feeding his flock.
He puts his ration in the 'trough
first and then admits the sheep.
Cleaner fleeces are his reward.

Everything points to better. days
again for the sheep industry in
Michigan in the opinion of Mr. Wil-
liams, who has traveled the state
almost constantly for the past two
months and has spoken to hundreds
of sheepmen at scores of meetings.

The farm bureau pool is now on
its way to the third million. The
2,000,000 pound mark was passed
late in June. Wool continues to be
pooled at the rate of 360,000 pounds
a week.

READER reminds Mr.
Gray Silver that since the Farm Bureau
, opened its Legislative Offices in Washington
3 D. C., the Congressional Record is getting to

1 citengr. Silver specifically to page 2679 of
I Vol. 61, No. 53, in which Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas, speaking on the -meat-

‘still charged extortionate prices for most of
. what he buys. All farmers have ' suffered
losses during the past year~thousands have
gone bankrupt. I cite a single case that might
i be duplicated a thousand times. The next
time any one pays a Washington dinner
1 check, with his steak costing him anywhere
‘ from $2 to $4 aepound, let him reflect on the
case of this Nebraska farmer. Last October,
. Charles Hunter, an Inavale cattleman, ship-
" ped to his feed lots 102 head of beef steers,
' which cost him $10,810 delivered in his lots,
'01-'10 1-2c a pound. He sold them seven
, months later on the Chicago market for
, $10,684, or 7 1-2 cents a pound—a, loss of 3
cents a pound—besides having to pay an
f $892 freight bill for shipping the cattle to-
Chicago. In other words, Mr. Hunter bought
1_ 102,000 pounds of live‘steers for $10,810 and
, sold 142,800 .pounds of beef on the hoof—-
just 40,800 more pounds of beef than he
bought—forl$10,694, taking a loss of $126, a
, loss of seven months’ work, a loss of all the
- ' alfalfa and corn he fed these steers, and a
‘ loss of seven months’ interest on $10,810, a
rather heavy penalty for having contributed
more than 40,000 pounds of additional beef
to feed his fellow countrymen. '

Naturally, when stockmen lose so much
money'in raising, feeding, and shipping meat
animals, there are going to be fewer such ani-
mals produced, and eventually meat is likely
to become scarcer and dearer
for strictly legitimate reasons.

',This time next year steaks in
Washington may be costing $8
a pound instead of $4, and quite
possibly the producer will not
be receiving a satisfactory re-
turn even then for his labor and
his feed for interest on his in—
‘ vestment.

A farmer feeds a hog 7 12
bushels of corn to make 100
pounds of pork, but he pays

. 1.1-2 bushels of corn for 1

"pound of bacon.

Fer 5 pounds of wool,
enough to make a “genuine”
all-wool suit, a farmer is now
glad to get, $1, but to buy such
a suit of‘clothes it costs him 500 . “ '

 

pounds of wool. .
‘ Last year a good pair of
shoes could be bought with one
cowhide. Today'it takes five
cowhides to get the shoes.

To buy his wife a: pair of $10
shoesa Kansas farmer recently
sold<25 bushels of corn for $7.50 .
and’a big cowhide for-$2,. Then
hes-had to pay 50.cents to boot

the clothicr a $60 suit of clothes for $15, the
shoe dealer a $10 shoe for $3, the hatter a $5
hat for $2, and the W'ashington market man
wOuld sell bacon at prewar prices instead of
at postwar prices, then American agriculture
would not today be in need of the credit pul-
motor. Corn should be and is worth more if
these things are worth what is asked for them.

Last year when corn was $1.50 a bushel a
farmer could get 5 gallons of gasoline for a
single bushel. Today, at the farm price that
bushel of corn only buys a little less than 2
gallons.

Last year 6 bushels of corn would buy a
ton of soft coal. ‘ Today that ton of coal costs
35 bushels of corn. 1

Last year 40 bushels of corn would pur-
chase a $60 suit of clothes. Today it would
take 125 bushels of corn to buy that suit.

Last year a bushel of corn would buy 3
pounds otcoifee. Today it will buy Only a
little more than 1 pound.

Last year 2 1-2 bushels of corn would pur—

chase a 48-pound sack of flour. Today it takes
5 1-2 bushels. ‘

And so it goes, up and down the line.
\Vhethcr prices rise or fall, the farmer gets
the worst of it. What is it going to profit us
to. keep knocking the farmer“ dewn‘l How
are we going to be clothed and fed when we
finally have knocked him out completely?

The biggest problem, Mr. President, that
confronts the Congress is to devise a plan by
which through fair marketing conditions, an
extinction of profitecring, a lowering of
freight rates. and a, rehabilitation of our for-
eign and domestic markets the producer may
receive a fair return without lhe consumer
being brutally victimized by the conscience-
lcss purveyor of bread. meat. and other food
products. “'9 should see. also. that in future
adequate credit is provided for farmers
through long-time and short-time loans, adap-
ted fairly and practically to the peculiar con-
ditions of’the farming business, to afford
farmers the same credit accomodations now
all’orded other lines of business and that they
may not be compelled to dump their pro7
ducts on a glutted or demoralized market.

Michigan Third on Chicago Potato Market

HICAGO is usuallyl-considered the most,

J prominent of the country ’s White potato
markets although it is secondary to New
York‘ in the number of earloads received ac-
cording to data compiled by the U. S. Bureau
of Markets and Crop Estimates. Located
between the main northern producing region
and the central and southern consuming mar-
kets, Chicago leads as a distributing center,
serves as a market index for a number of

cities within a radius of 300 miles, and often
is a leader in new price movements. During
the 1919 calendar year.

potatoes arrived in Chicago and 12,158 were
unloaded, the rest, or about one—fourth, hav-
ing been distributed to other markets. Chi-
cago’s normal yearly consumption based on
the average of the five years, 1916—1920,, is
11,510 cars compared with 19,263 for New
York.

Wisconsin is the chief source of supply for
Chicago, a yearly average of 3,807 cars hav—
ing been shipped from that State to Chicago
during the five years, 1916-1920. This
amount is about one-third of Chicago’s total
supply. Other important sources of supply

together with the average num-
ber of cars shipped annually _
are: Minnesota, 1,452; Michi-
gan, 871; Idaho, 511; Colorado,
274; South Dakota, 273; Ill-
inois, 204; Virginia, 9033; Lou-
isiana, 359; Texas, 324; New
Jersey, 322; and Florida, 230.
The first six States named are
main crop States while the last ,
five are early or intermediate
crop States. Homegrown sup—
plies are negligible,

, The new crop begins to ap-
pear on the market in .April.
The earliest variety is the
,Spaulding Rose from Florida,
followed bleliss Triumphs and
Burbanks from Texas and Lou-
isiana during _May and June,
and by Irish Cobblers from
Virginia and New Jersey dur-
ing June, July, and August.
The heavy movement of the

They did 'it. The farmers of that county
of dollars through
their marketing agent since February 16,
when the plan was put into operation. At
that time they appointed George E. Bowen,
of O’Neill, as marketing agent. More than
farm bureau
had thousands of tons of hay that they could
not dispose of it. Mr. Bowen was instructed
to travel over the state and see if a demand
could not be created. At that time, says Mr.
Bowen, there was no confidence on the part
of the buyers and the supply exceeded the
demand, which made the market very hard
to control.

Got Better Prices for Hay

When the new marketing agent took up his
duties hay, was being bought by buyers at
‘O’Neill for $4 a ton for No. 1 upland, f. o. b.
cars. In less than two weeks the price had
gone to $6 per ton at the same station, and
by April 1 the market was $7.50 per ton. At
the time the agent started creating a demand,
No. 2 had no market at all. Just recently it
was selling at $5 a ton.

Many farmers, says Mr, Bowen, would
think that this increase in price was due to
the markets, which it was in 'a way, but, asks
Mr. Bowen, what caused the rise? It was
not the scarcity of feed, he added, or the
shortage of hay, as the entire state had an
abundance of alfalfa.

“Here is the point,” continued Mr. Bow-

The' Way Old Method Worked

“Now 'let me illustrate how our product ‘

was handled in the past. A farmer came in-
to town with one or more loads of hay and the
buyer took from $1.50 to $3 a. ten for hand-
ling a car if the grower wished to sell at
home. And if he shipped his produce he
would be at the mercy of the so-called hay
exchange. Here is an instance which hap-
pened to me last winter: ' . ,

“I started five cars of hay for the markets,
two of which I consigned to Commission men
and three I took bills of lading for myself
and went to market and sold them. .

“The three cars I sold brought $16.50 on
the track and one of the others handled by the
commission firm brought $11, with $4.50 out
for freight and, commission, which netted
$6.50 On our track. The other netted $51.10,
or about $5 per ton. This was all .the, same
kind of hay and all No. 1. This car that
brought $5 per ton I tried to buy of the same

“There was a, difference of $6.50 a ton on 
the hay I handled myself. I think this will 1'
be found to be truein nearly every branch of l
the commission business, not only on hay but-

grain, fruit, poultry and everything grown
upon the farm. I Since taking up. the market-

several cars of grain, shipped seed oats, pota-
toes and other products, making a direct sav-

Michigan’s State-Owned Fair to be Bigger and Better Than Ever

Exhibits at 1921 Fair to Consist of  Varied Collection of Michigcrn’s Activities .

greatest fair in all America, and ad-

* hering to its policy of using its surplus funds

‘ Michigan State Fair to be held in Detroit
‘ from September 2‘to 11 next, will make an-

the

other step forward at that time and complete-
ly. carry out its slogan of “bigger and bet-

Premium lists are more alluring to the
farmer and other exhibitors, a new high rec-

. ord being reached this year in the awards that

will be made. Numerous increases are listed
over the awards of last year, and those awards
were among the highest ever paid in the
United States. Net only is there an increase
in the regular awards, but there will be a
greater variety of premiums.

Especially attractive are the awards to be
paid to exhibitors of farm products and to
those shoWing the best of the popular breeds
of livestock. Liberality of premium lists at-
tract the bgest. exhibits, according to Secre-

‘ tary-Manager,  Dickinson, ‘of the fair,

cational. Its best function is to. show every.
visitor what others in the state are doing and.
how they are doing it, so that the visitor may
learn from seeing the best of everything

wherein he can impgove his own' productions.-

A serious note will be struck by the coming
fair along this line. Secretary-Manager Dick-
inson sounded it in his announcement of the
,coming fair, issued recently, and which says:

“Since Gov. E‘paphroditus Ransom estab-

lished in Michigan 72 years ago the first state .

fair held West of the Allegheny mountains, the
citizens of this commonwealth haVe witnessed
annually an exhibition designed to' mirror the

- industries and activities of the two peninsu-

A Word for The

New International Manure Spreader

THE BASIS of profitable farming-is a fertile soil.

In farming as in other businesses there are poor years
and good ones, but the farmer who keeps up the pro-
ductivity of his land will forge ahead.

After years of experience and experimenting, no
method of maintaining soil fertility has proved so effi-
cient as the proper application of barnyard manure.

’ It is a foresighth policy to build up crop yields with
the International Roller Bearing Manure Spreader.
Put manure on your fields, finely, evenly, uniformly,
economically; the extra fertility will in a short time
pay for the International spreader.

Note again these features in International construc-

~ " tion: 1. Roller bearings at seven points. 2. Power
' delivered from both wheels. 3. Double ratchet drive
with six feed speeds. 4. Short film front axle; no pole
whipping. 5. Rear wheels track with front wheels.
6. Tight bottom. 7. Two heaters and wide-spread
spiral. 8. All-steel main frame.

The International has demonstrated its efficiency and
economy. It is a machine that helps to make farming
more profitable. You cannot afford this year to pass up
the Opportunity to save all the manure and use its fer; ,
iility in making your farm more productive. See the v
spreader at the International dealer's or write us for
information.

A Better Feeling in Business
0 USE in denying it. From every side
come reports that business begins to
feel that it has touched bottom “most all
over” and- that things generally are back on
a better and saner basis. ~ ,

Of course, as would be expected there are
a certain clique of those], who are still holding
the produce they manufactured from war-
time matcrial, with war-time labor who want
to sell it at old war-time prices.‘ They are
going to wake up some fine morning to find

,~thcir competitors getting-out-from-under ‘and

when that happens watch them
cover. _ , .

The automobile factories in Detroit already
report a growing movement of' cars to their
dealers. Farmers in the states where the
grain harvesting is being completed are al-
ready starting to buy, but always those man-
ufactured articles which they are convinced
the ~manufacturer has “taken-his-los.s” on.

There are several lines, such as clothing,
shoes and meat products which are practically
in ,line with decreased grain prices.

So far as these conditions affect the plain,
everyday business farmer in Michigan, they
mean that he can look forward with a certain-

scurry for

I ty» to a future which is far from blue and in

fact if he and his family are in good health
and still able to sit under the old tree and
enjoy the far away song \of the ‘ lark, the
future will look mighty rosy!

Cancelling Europe’s War Debt
SWISS'cconomist has recently published
a statement which has caused consider-
able comment in the press and so far no one
has advanced any challenge as to the accur~
acy of the figures presented.

In brief this statement points out that. the

A

war cost the United States more in actual
dollars than any European power, England
included. A bares $55 per head covers the
cost per annum to every citizen of this repub-
lic and yet it is shown that the greater part
of this goes to cover the amount which gen-
erous Uncle Sam loaned to his alliesand near-
allies during and immediately following the
war. - .
Now come benevolent John Bull with the
proposition that he will cancel all ofhis war

 debts from weaker nations (most of which

are bankrupt, according to Senator Copper)
if Uncle Sam will simply cancel the debt
(perfectly good) of something over five . .bil-

7' lions which John Bull admits «in various doc—
],ume‘nts he receiVed from us in, gold. '

 Each American, it seems; contributed a‘fair

flimsy proposition and expect to .get away
with it. We cannot believe that the American
people will agree to cancel these debts -and
transfer the load to their own backs, when
they know that England’s winnings in the
war, in ships and in land area have been val-
ued at more than the war cost her,
Apparently as Senator Capper points out,
“John Bull hasn’t a very exalted opinion of
American common sense!” ,

\ Where Good Money Goes
. TwMAY BE hard -for most of our readers
to believe that there are a good many
farmers right here in Michigan who are sell-
ing their perfectly good Liberty bonds «to buy
questionable stock. Yet it is a fact that

V hardly a day passes that we are not asked by

some reader as to some stock, usually in a
scheme which they themselves are suspicious
of, otherwisc’they would not write us, but
would use their own' good judgement.

Liberty bonds are following only the nat-
ural course of events which have followed
each large issuance by our government of this
class of securities which \are originally sold to
great numbers of small investors in small lots.
Following the Civil War, government bonds at
lower rates of interest than those recently is-
sued, cht begging and touched even lower
levels, than have Liberty bonds so far. With-
in' a fewyears they were selling above par
and were in great demand. “

We do not question the necessity of dispos-
ing of these bonds by farmers whohave found
it absolume necessary to meet thedcmands
of their families or their business. It might
easily be imagined .that conditions arose dur-
ing those trying past few months when it was
better to sacrifice the present discount than
to lose a, greater amount by not being able to
take care of actual necessities. The point is
that there is' no better investment than Unit-
ed States government bonds and that we pre-
dict that every day will see a highermarket
quotation 'Ion.» these absolume secure invest-
ments.’ The man who lets go of his Liberty
bonds to buy the stock of promising 'com-
mercial propositions in which he has not a
direct dnterest, is taking a longer gamble than
any race-horse tout that stakes his all on the

result 70f 3, single race.

Admiral Sims and‘Gob Denby‘

VERY MAN who is entitled to wear the

United States Naval Reserve emblem,
and there are a lot of us, now back in the
plain and ordinary routine'of earning a liv—
ing on terra firma, must have chuckled a lit-
tle at the picture of the almighty Admiral
Sims being publicly called to the woodshed
by the not-very-long-ago “Gob” Denby.

The present secretary of the navy was an
ordinary second-class seaman, a' self-styled
“gob” during the Spanish—American war and
only partly changed his title when he joined
the marines during the late war.

So the picture of the “gold-braider” Being
generously _upbraided by a former “gob” is

one that every former service man would like
.to hang up in his work-shop.

. Corn Production Ahead, Wheat Behind

HE CONDITION of all crops on the
first of July as annOunccd by the dc-
partmcnt of agriculture, shows corn to be In

better condition than it has been in twenty

years, which would seem to indicate a bumper
crop while wheat showed a shrinkage of ‘21,:
000,000 bushels during'the past month. _

These facts are received by producer, seller
and consumer in‘ entirely different moods.
To the farmer it means a low price on com,
a better price on wheat, to the seller who is-
now buying in futures it means a quick scur-
ry to get under cover and to. the ave-rage ‘con—
sumcr just a repetition of what he hears over
and over each season and which apparently
has little to do. with the price of the package
of corn’ flakes or the sack of patent ' pastry
flour he buys at the corner grocery.

» ' A BLACK BEAN! ’ ‘
. OUR EDITORIAL of June 11th:
1921,, "The Michigan Bean at
L~ the, Bar,’.’ comes to the attention
The facts are’, that
.in May, 1917 a sale was made (if 2,-
‘ 500 bags of Brazilian black beans,
represents lbs of good merchant-
'able quali . That when "the 2,500
bags Brazilian'black beans arrived

at New York a month later, that the

bags were 8 ‘per cent weevil cu-t,‘ac-
cording to the U. S. government in-
spector’s report; that the buyer re-
jected the lot on the grounds that
‘8 per cent weevil cut beans were
not good merchanta'ble quality; that
the seller claimed that 8 per cent
~JWeevil cut beans were good mer-
The court and
jury decided that 8 per cent weevil
cut and wormy beans were not good

"merchantable quality and were not'

“fit for human consumption.

Granting that it is your desire to
give your readers and every one

else a square deal, we would like
foryou to tell us where the above
set of facts would permit any of the
‘ following; lst, Why any jobber in
Michigan should be buying beans
from South America, when the bins
in his own back yard are groaning
with.a surplus; 2nd. Some times
” it takes a court case to smoke out
the nigger ifi the woodpile; 3rd.
How long are the bean growers of
this state going to have the market-
ing of their products in the hands
of men who might, if tempted by
huge profits sell beans from Brazil
as the real Michigan article? 4th.
Not forever, we hope unless the hon-
est men in the bean jobbers’ associa—
tion see the light and ride these im-
posters out of their organization;
5th. 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
practice within their own circle,
'which are suicidal to their OWn and
the bean growers’ interests.

Your first.question is based on an
assumption that is utterly false.
May,'1917, the date of this transac-

‘ tion in question, there was no sur-
[ 'plus of beans in Michigan .or any
' surplus of any other foodstuffs in
If you will refer to
' the'report of the U. S. Secretary of
‘ Agriculture for, 1917 you will find
[‘ the opening statement of D. T.
1. Houston as follows: “‘When on

1 April 6, 1917, the existence of a.

state of war with Germany was de-

! ,clared by Congress, this country was
facing an unsatisfactory, situation in
respect to its supply of foods and
foodstuffs. It was recognized even
before the war that the foodproblem

2 ,‘was serious and that constructive ac-
tion‘Was necessary."

,F‘urthermore had you possessed
even a. fair amount of information
and knowledge'about beans’ and
bean conditions you would have
known that Michigan does not raise

black beans for food purposes and

that the people of the United States
do not oat»black beans. Therefore
this 2,500 bags was not bought to
be sold in competition with Mich-
igan beans or to be sold in this
country. For years Cuba, Mexico
and other countries in warm clim-
ates have used tremendous quanti—
ties of black beans because "they are
a. non» heat producingtype of bean.”

The second statement, about the
nigger in the wood pile, the only one
smoked out was the fact that an
importer tried to deliver 8 per cent
‘of weevil and wormy beans, under
the representation of “good ner-
chantable” quality.

The third assumption that these
beans were‘offered or would be of-

 fered as the real Michigan article
" was without foundation. \ In they
 first place they-could not be offered

as such; because Michigan does not

produoethem and secondthe Mich-e
 345me are not misrepresent»

There 'is no been raised so well ad-.
vertised and so thoroughly quoted
as the Michigan pea bean. You can:
'go into every wholesale grocery con-
cern office in the . S. and find a
complete run of q tatiohs and in-
termation covering . the Michigan
pea bean, for almost every day in
the year.—-—Port Huron Storage &.

- Bean Co., Clair H. Barrett, Sec’y.

The daily newspaper reports or this
case omitted, as we recollect, the seem-
ingly minor, though very important fact
that the "Brazilian" beans were
"black" beans and we are glad to be
corrected in the assumption that this
particular shipment might have been in—
tended for substitution for the real Mich-
igan pea bean.

It has been continuously rumored that
"foreign" beans have been sold not only
in competition, but actually as the real
Michigan article and if this evil does
exist (and the bean jobbers themselves
should be first to discover it) then we
will, as we said, welcome any expose
which will "smoke the nigger out of the
wood pile !" We cannot agree with Mr.
Barrett in his opinion that the Michigan
pea bean is adequately advertised or
“sold” to the bean buyers of not only the
.United States but the world. The cone
sumer most of all needs to be told of
the superior quality of the Michigan pro-
duct and should be able to buy them at
retail in branded packages, the same as
California, Florida and Washington
fruits and other products are now sold.
The wholesale buyer. too, needs more
than mere "quotations to make him de—
mand Michigan beans and insist on get—
ting them for his tl‘ade. We repeat the
statement which was the real point in
our editorial that we will welcome a
statement from the officers (or any of-
ficer) of the Bean Growers’ Association
as to what steps are being taken to ad-.
vertise and promote the sale of Michi-
gan beans, We repeat that we believe
the bean growers of this state are vital-
ly interested in knowing what is being
done by its salesmen, who are at present
the bean jobbers, to sell the product of
their farm factories and to stamp out
any of the evils which are rumored to
exist—G. M. S.

COUNTY REORGANIZATION
UR CLIPPING bureau brings me
today your article dated June
‘ y 11, on county reorganization,
iniwhich you quote from my letter,
with comments, some of which are
unfavorable. If correctly dated,

this treatment is considerably tardy.

Since April 28, the Michigan pro-
gram on county reform has been
completely changed from that which
was pushed during the regular ses-
sion of the. legislature:

Possibly you have learned that
several state and county commit-
tees are co-operating to put the
question in a definite form on the
state ballot in November, 1922, by
initiative petitions. I am writing
as secretary of the Wayne County
Committee, not as secretary of the
Detroit Citizens League, and as
chairman of the state executive com-
mittee of five, chosen at Grand Rap—
ids, J uhe 11.

v I note your criticism‘on the ap-

parent indefiniteness of our plan up .

to April 28. The answer is that all
cooperating groups decided to work
on the basis of democracy rather
than autocracy, therefore we seek
and have sought to leave open many
(10ch for the entrance'of ideas from
all parts of the state, both urban
and rural. It will take from two to
four years to complete this task.
What with eighty—three counties and
varying ideas of reform, and with a
proposal for local county home rule
made in the legislature, all authori-,
ties, including the Governor and At-
tomy General Wiley, advised
against adopting how any single fix-
ed, plan in a county. '
Many: questions which doubtless
you have in mind could be readily
answered to your satisfaction if we
were to confer face he face. At-
least' a dozen mooted points of ob;
j‘ectiop immediately». disappear un-
der such-conditions. We insist that
county government. a "so . comma;
:that to secure simplicity, ire-must
p.de patiently if we 
achieve completo'und manna-1.
Drovem‘en’cs. This  was
adopted particularly an the insist-
ence of Governor Week  

for example, to retention of state
functions in the county government.
After conference with me, they draft-
ed a different wording of the form
of the amendment, which was con-
sidered in the state senate in the
special session, but which we did
not push.

Our state groups have voted to
use this form substantially as draft-
ed by the Governor and Attorney
General. It calls for a commission
of three to fifteen, who am to take
the place of the supervisors and
auditors, and who may be authoriz-
ed by the legislature to appoint all
county officers. This would give
complete reform in such counties as
adopted ‘it by popular referendum
vote. The short ballot feature would
put M' igan ahead of all other
states gthe union. This idea will
odied in the intiative peti-
tions, whose circulation will begin
soon and will be continued until
July 1, 1922. Senator Baker and
farmer representatives strongly fav-
or the program which we have push-
ed since January 1.—W. P. Lovett,
Executive Secretary, Detroit Citi-
zens League.

PERHAPS WE HAVE BEEN TOO
MODEST!

DID NOT know until just the

other day that you had‘ ever of-

fered any stock for sale in the
Rural Publishing Company which
owns the M. B. F. If there is any
of this stock left, I want some, not
only because I am sure it will be a
good investment, but because I want
to boost this weekly that is doing
.more for the farming business in
Michigan than was ever done before.
Please tell me all about this stock,
if you have any left. Your friend.—
A. J. C., Washtenaw County.

Perhaps, we have been too modest
since we offered last August just 2,500
share of 8 per cent preferred stock in
this company to our friends and readers
throughout the state. At least, we have
not pressed the sale of this stock, al-

'though we can use the money to good

advantage in the building and bettering
of this business. There is less than half
of the original allotment still unsold and
when it is gone, as the small boy said,
“there ain’t goin’ to be no core I” You
understand of course that this preferred

.stock is sold at $10 per share and that'

every penny of this money goes into the
development of this business. No one
receives a penny of commission. The
stock pays four per cent (4 per cent)
twice-a—yoar, the first was paid Janu—
ary first this year and the next dividend
was paid on July first, 192L The
company erves the right to repurchase
this preferr stock any time after three
years, by paying the buyer not only the
full 8 per cent from the day the stock

'was purchased but an additional bonus

of 6 per cent. This preferred stock is a
first claim on all property of the corpor-
ation and draws full dividends before
the common stockholders can receive a
penny’s dividends, The unsold‘part of
this stock, will be sold in parcels of not
less than ten shares and we Wish that
it might speedily be placed in the hands
of friends of the BusinessFarmer who
appreciate a good investment if only for
one or a few hundred dollars, in a prop-
osition in which they are even more than
simply financially interested. Write the
publisher if you have any spare money
which is bringing you in less than eight
per cent a year.—G. M. S.

Mr. Sanford stated that the Amer-

either of nervous haste or anxiety
' with no time for a pleasant word
with friend or family. One woman
says “I, do not read, there is no
e'time," or "I do not write, there is
1 no time.” A noted Frenchman on a
‘ visit to this country exclaimed, “At
» what time do they die here? At what
time do they love? When do they
think?” Thus was he impressed
. with our American way of living.
All enterprise begins and origin-
; ates in thought. Then it stands to
: reason, we must have time to think.
. Time to become
:ourselves and our half-recognized
ambitions. Time to plan. . One
hour spent wisely in the right con-
ditions is worth many spent in the
, confusion and hurry of doing work
not well thought out and planned
beforehand.

We are now living in Eternity as
much as we shall be hereafter and
God intends that we shall have all
the time we need to work out our
destiny.

 

 

MAKING THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
GO
OW CAN a rural neighborhood
best organize and support a
Sunday school? We moved
into a neighborhood at one time
where a union Sunday School had
been tried several times with the
same result—it died. We decided
' to ask our neighbors to join us in a
,simple Bible study. All the sup-
plies we got were a few Testaments.
The meetings were held at the com—
munity schoolhouse and as there
were song books there, we did not
purchase any until later.‘ As all our
1 lessons were contained in the New
Testament, there was no quarterly
expense to be met. ‘

.Do you say, “The children would
not understand?" We had a class
of little ones and they read as well
from their Testaments as possible

i from a quarterly and they learned to
‘ love and respect their Bibles. We
had a couple who had been Sunday
school workers for years—teachers
in Sunday school—in this Bible
, study, and I heard the woman say

| after a few months of attendance

, with us: “I’ve learned more in these

; f few months than in all the remaind-
‘ ‘ 5 er of my life!" It was not because

But if you look above the pines

You cannot see our God. And Why?

And if you dig down in the mines
You never see Him in the gold,

God is so good He wears a fold
Of heaven and earth across His face
Like secrets kept, for love untold.

1 spring chicken,‘1~2 pound but-

milk, 1 pint of cream.

Clean and unjoint the‘chicken, let
stand in ice "cold water until butter
is melted in roaster, cut onions fine

and let brown in melted butter, then »

add chicken which has been rolled

To remove 'ink spots from linen
dampen the spots with cold water, then
‘soak in sweet milk. As the milk sours,
wash the linen out and put in 'more
sweet milk. Continue until spots .fade'.
It requires some patience but this meth-
od will not injure the linen- in the least.
Oxalio acid may be used but any acid is
apt to hurt the fabric. There is on the
market a good preparation called Ink
Eradicator at twenty-five cents a bottle.
If the milk fails try this as it is safe.

and saw that you wanted boys and girls
to write some stories so 1 am going to
write one. This is the story:

‘ The Two Little Sisters

It was 'a very old house where Cassy
and Polly lived. Their mother was very
poor and had to work very hard. Cassy
was ten years old and Polly was eight.

' One day after their work was finished

they went out into the back yard to clean
it up a little and to play afterwards. On
iiftin up an old box Cassy gave a cry
of de ight. Polly went .to see and there
They told their moth-
er about it and she said it must be a
flower after she had seen it.. So the
next morning Cassy went down very
early to see about it and there was Polly
already. Polly was crying so Cassy
asked her what the trouble was. Polly
said, "Billy Miles kicked our plant and
now it is dead." Just then a man passed
by and saw them crying and he asked
them what the matter was and they. told
him. Then the man told them to clean
up that old back yard till it was very
The next day the man brought a
lot of flowers and a gardener. After
the flowers were planted' the yard looked
very nice. -The two little sisters took
good care 'of the flowers and afterwards

 they found out that the man was very

rich and they knew were he lived. So
afterwards the man had a neat little
cottage built for them. The two little
sisters lived ’happily ever afterwards.

was a. speaker who is the school commis-

children which way We were gomg thru
life, upward, onward or downward? I
am going to go upward. Don't you be—
lieve that is the way, Uncle Ned? If you-
go onward you stay the same, or down-
ward you get worse, but upward you are
learning and thinking more and better
every year. I think that every boyand

average 87 cars a year and are class-

at a discount because of their poor
appearance as compared with do-
mestic stock. ' ' -

"The wholesale trade of Chicago
South Randolph St. Carlot sales
are made mostly in the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad yards _ at
Grand Ave. Practically all original
receivers sell in car lots. There are
about 20 of these dealers, most of
them doing both a commission and
a merchandise business, the amount
of direct buying depending some-
what upon the attitude of the grow-
ers at digging time.

Trading is most active on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, and as as
rule the market is lower on Monday
than at the close of the week be-
cauSe of the accumulated receipts of
Saturday, and Sunday. Few sales
are made on Saturday. Most of the
trading is done between 6 and '7 a.
m. in the summer find between 7:30
and 8:30 a. m. in the winter. Buy-
ers and receivers meet in the _rail-
road yards and talk prices. .If the
buyer is interested he is given the
number of one or more cars which
the receiver is offering. He inspects
them by cutting into a few sacks or,‘
if the load is bulk stock ,diggjng
into it a foot or so. After the price
has been agreed upon. the" buyer is
given a sale ticket, which may be
used as authority for unloading in
place of the bill of lading. '

The Chiéago market is unique in
its preference for bulk shipments.
Under ordinary market conditions
bulk cars bring a premium of Sc to
15c per 100 lbs. over sacked stock.
This is explained by the fact that
most sales of potatoes on the Chi;
cago market are on the basis
“car lots outweight"——that is, the
buyer pays for the actual weight as
recorded when he hauls the stock
over the scales. It is the custom to
allow some sorting of the stock in a
bulk car, and a considerable amount
of tire poorer stock is thus left in
the car to be disposed of as culls.
often at about one third of the mar-
ket price for No. 1’s. The culls “vary
between 10 and 50 bus. to the car,
depending upon the condition of the
load, the strength of the market, and
also upon the buyer. some buyers
being known as “poor unloaders,"

the stock. Such buyers usually have
to pay a. substantial premium over
the regular market price. Re-sort‘~
ing is rarely allowed in the case of
sacked stock, and because bulk stock
may be re-sorted, it is commonly. un-
derstood that bulk potatoes from the
North Central states are more care-
fully graded than those in sacks.
The dealer who buys a car of bulk
stock is allowed to suck it in the car
as he unloads it. The cost of sack-
ing a car of bulk stock is said to be
about $35 in addition to the price of
the sacks, but by sorting and sack-
ing the dealer eliminates culls and
assures himself of the quality of the
stock.

Receivers operate on a commis-
sion basis charge of 7 per cent ,to 10
per cent. The usual brokerage fee
is $12.50 per car. Receivers who
have bought outright allow a margin
of about 10¢ per‘ 100 lbs. The re-
ceivers sell on account to reliable
jobbers, while the jobbers’ sales to
the retail trade are mostly for cash.
Their usual margin ranges from 35c
to 50cper 100 lbs. —

When a receiver considers that a
car of potatoes is offgrade or not of
the Quality represented by the ship-
per, the U. S. Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates is usually called on
to make-an inspection. Sometimes
the shipper applies for this service to
protoctrhimself, as the receiver’may

MICHIGAN’S STATE-OWNED FAIR
TO BE BIGGER AND BET-

(continued iron page 4)
"In our fair this year we shall,
therefore, attempt to show the whole

varied collection» of Michigan's act-_

ivities—its farms, its factories, its
fisheries, and its homes and inhabi-
tants. .
“We shall show a. bit of Detroit,
the womler city, of the nation; we
shall shovV' the motbr industry,
which in the last decade and a half
has transformed the whole state;
we shall show the first aid to motors
——;Good Roads. We shall show how
health is maintained in the (titles,
the art and beauty that may be put
in homes, the fineries of urban civ-
But in so doing we shall
not forget that the fair must devote

the agricultural interests of the
state and to stimulate them forward
to new efficiency and prosperity.
"And thus, in our coming seventy-
second state fair, we shall hope to
mingle in happy proportions a pro-
gram which will show the best of

farm life to the city man and the-

most modern of city conveniences to
the man who feeds the world.
“With it all will be fun and” en—

ular, and of the highest type known
to fair managements anywhere.
“To this pot po‘” ri of instruction
and industry, heal h and happiness,
fun and farming, the Michigan State
Fair cordially invites the public of
Michigan, hoping that the ten days

the state farm bureau, acting under
instructions from the American
Farm Bureau Federation which is
gathering from 47 farm bureau
states first hand information _ on
farm problems for the congressmn-

dition of agriculture.

The state farm bureau question-
naire was scheduled to be carried
out in the form of community hear-
ings where there was an opportun—
ity to call a meeting in the limited
time available for conducting the-
questionnaire. Farmers considered
authorities on their respective com-
modities 'Were scheduled to be

Wool pools in all the 19 American
Farm Bureau Federation states en-
gaged in pooling wool this year are
exceeding all expectations, says the
national organization. Ohio is' re—
ported to have pooled 4,000,000
pounds to date, 1,000,000 more than
the 1920 pool. Michigan, now in
its third million, is far in advance
of last year. New York already has
as much as was pooled last year and
the prospects are that the New York
pool will be double the 1920 figure.
Kansas, ‘Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, \Vis-
consin, Minnesota, South Dakota
and Missouri are placing great
amounts in the American Farm Burr

Totroutllne' a course. of feeding
that will suitevery hog and every

The hog, to do its best, must 'be.
treated as an individual. Not all
hogs like all feedsvequally well. For
that reason one will make
.rapid ga‘lfis‘ on one kind of a. ration,
while another'will do better on a.
somewhat different ration. Here is
where experience and common sense
count for a good deal. The success—
ful feeder and showman watches his
hogs constantly. _, He notes their ap-
petite from day to day, studies their
.likes and dislikes with prieference to
feed and general care and‘tries his
best to give them what they want
and keep them comfortable.

It is self-evident that one must
have a good hog to begin with or
there will be no chance of a. s.uc-‘
cessful outcome: Just what consti-

that is not easily described. In a
general way it may be said that
type is very important.
greater stress upon type nowadays
than they did a few years ago. Be-
sides, what was considered a good
type five or six years ago is not so
considered today. Judges are now
looking for the upstanding type of
hog, .one with plenty of daylight un—

to-feet and pasterns. They must be
strong. The least weakness in that
respect counts heavily against a
show animal. The back must be
well arched and the sides straight
and smooth. ,

There is little danger in these
days, when a hog is picked out in
the rough to'be fitted for the show
ring, of picking one that is too long
in the legs because, as mentioned be~

fore, upetandingness is now consid-
ered a very important and desirable
characteristic. This, of course, does
not mean that all we need is long
legs in a hog. He must have a good
body, too. Length of body is being
given more attention than it was in
former years. In fact, the lard type
of hog that wins the ribbons today
resembles the bacon type more than
it does the lard type of, a few years
ago. Therevis good reason for this.
Lard is no longer so/lmportant a
food product as it has been in the
past because lard substitutes in 'the
shape of vegetable oilsare now be-
ing used in exceedingly large quan-
tities. The keen demand for lard
is diminishing. A hog'that produc—
es 3. very large percentage of fat will
not bring as good a price on the
market as the one that shows a larg-
er percentage of lean meat. There
is no ddubt but the present tendency
and demand for an animal resemb-
, ling the bacon type of hog will con-
tinue to grow. and this is being re-
flected in the show ring.

Having selected the hog to befit-
ted, itpis wellto realize that even
,the most eXpért showman can’t al-
ways pick the one that will feed out
to advantage. IFor that reason it is;
a good plan if one wants to show
four hogs to begin fitting twice as
,many. Some “of them develop to bet-v
-ter advantage than others.

The nature of the feed is import-
ant. The nation should not be fat-

.that will induce, growth as well. For
mature .hog‘s corn. oats and tank-
age make a good combination. It
may be fed in proportions of 50
v. pounds corn,'35 pounds ground oats,
and 15 pounds tankage, or if the
feeder likes to use some oil meal,

‘pi‘gsushould have: slightly more pro:

but hand feeding is not' essential, ‘ai-.
though it is perhaps more» generally
used than the self—feeder! method.

Quite a. number Of showman, how-
ever, are using the self-feeder now-
adays and preterit to hand feeding
because it givesthe pigs or mature
hogs an opportunity to get what
they like, and it has been shown.
time“ and again, where hogs have

more been fed for‘ the market, that they

are better ‘ludges of what they need
than aret-he most expert feeders. In\
case a self—feeder 'is used for pigs
such feeds as ground oats,, shOrts,‘
tankage and oil meal should be put
in separate compartments of a self-
feeder so that the hogs may choose
their own feed. Where olderhogs
are to be fitted and it is desirable
to give them'some corn it isvbetter
to mix ground oats and ground corn
together. Otherwise they are apt
to eat more com than they should
have fbr best results. ‘
Good" pasture should always
provided. Alfalfa is the best hog
The common
clovers come next in order so far asz
desirability of- feed is concerned.

7 .

Judges lay Rape is another excellent feed and

just as good as clover. When hogs
have all the green feed they. want
they will do better than in the dry
lot. '

Exercise should be provided. If it
can’t be obtained in any other way
the hogs should be driven for at
This will
keep them in good healthfcondl-
tion and help make them easy to
handle when they are presented be-
fore the iudgeh The feeding of
mineral matter should not be ne-
glected, although this is not quite so
essential when tankago forms part
of the ration as when it does not. A
good' mineral mixture consists of
three-fourths by weight of ground
limestone and one—fourth of bone
meal. 'If ground limestonois not
available, lime that has been fully
air slaked gwill answer the same
purpose. Salt should. of course, al-
ways be kept before the hogs so that
they may partake as freely as the
choose.~—-Iowa Homestead. ' ,

 

TO INCREASE FLOW _OF- WATER ‘

IN WELLS

On the farm of John Starks near
Warsaw, New York, was a. well
drilled in rock to .a, depth of 185
feet. It was cased with 6 inch iron
piping. ‘ w v. .

The flow of water was not con-
stant and was not sufficient for the
farm needs. Gonnty Agricultural.._.
Agent —T. W. Venn was appealed to-
to suggest a remedy. He recom-
mended a well blast.

When drilling the well, the driller
had, found _a “Spring strata” at a
depth of 150 feet so it was decided
to place the charge of dynamite at
that point in ‘thehope that the shot
would open up the veins in the vi—
cinity and sufficiently augment the
water supply. i .

Eight cartridges (foui pounds) of
dynamite were tied together into a
compact bundle of a shape that
would go inside the well casing. A
12 pound weight was‘ attached to
the underside of the bundle to pull
it dewn into place. A cord 150 feet
long was used to lower" it to‘the de-
sired point. ,The upper end of the
'cord was tied to a stick about a .

tening, but rather‘it should _be one « foot long laid at right angles in the

top of the casing, homing it in place.
The well was full of water 'up to
within twelve inches ’of‘the top.
The charge was set off by means
of a blasting cap and length of fuss
attached to one, of the carti‘idges.”

The fuse had to» be lighted before,”
50 poundgvcorn, 30 pounds cats, 10 the charge was lowered. into plan”;

TRADE AND" MARKET REVIEW
HE PASSING ofhnother week of

, the summer period has brought

,' developments: which seem to in-

; - dicate that the country is surely, it
~ slowly, approaching industrial and
-' general business normacy. The.
crepe hanger and his faithlul lieu-
tenant, the calamity howler, are still
abroad in the land' but is is an en-
couraging fact that, inspite of the
“gloom” dispensed by this band of

vival comes steadily on.

During the past week, the writer
has interviewed real estate dealers
and other business men of Detroit
and without a single exception, they
have reported a marked impr0vc-
ment in the general business out-
look. Since the last report, Brad-
street’s commodity list index num-
ber shows an advanc‘.; this is the
first advance shown by the index in
13 months.
are active, featured, in many of the
leading cities of the country, by ad-
vertised sales of seasonal goods at
reduced prices. The wholesale
trade is dull and quiet, cxcept in
certain food lines that exporters to
foreign countries are bidding for.
The tremendous foreign demand for
our wheat and hog products, well
known for many months by the spec-
ulators who control our markets, is
beginning to filter through to the
public at large and a wave of in-
vestment buying is developin".
VVheat harvest is well forward and,
While the yields in some localities is
disappointing, on the whole, thresh-v
ing returns .are better than was ex-
pected at the beginning of the cur-
rent month. Dry weather and in-’
sect posts have ruined spring crops
..,~ in some districts and the farmer’s

outlook, in these localities, is far
from encouraging.
The New York stock market has

3 shown a stubborn firmness, in con-
nection with certain staple stock is-
sues, of late and traders are begin-
ning to make an cfl'ort to reduce
their short. lines. Railway stocks
have shown considerable firmness,
probably, because of the general be-
lief that a brighter day is dawning
for the railroad business. The an-
nouncement... made last Friday by‘
the Association of Railway Execu-
tives that United States railway
earnings for May exceeded those in
April by nearly eight million dol-
lars, has in it a note of encourage-
ment to those of our people who are
hoping for 'an early reduction of
freight rates. To the men, who have
been anxiously scanning“ the busi-
ness horizon for signs of a coming
trade rcvival, the increase in rail-
road earnings will come as a con-
firmation of recent rumors that the
public is abandoning the buyers’
strike that has been in vogue so
long.

The announcement that. the rail-
roads of the country are to receive
from the United States government
advances, during the next six
months, that will total more than
$500,000,000, is a guarantee of
00111ng prosperity in connection with
all manufacturing lines that produce
structural material for cars, tracks
and roadbcds; incidentally, the ex-
penditure of more than a hall-bile
lion for railway betterments will
mean much to the great American
army of laborers which specializes
in the manufacture of equipments.

Saturday which shows farm reserv—

_ es amount to 56,000,000 bushels, as

against 47,000,663 busnels a year
ago, caused the Detroit market to
drop 3 cents and at Chicago the

.market went sharply lower at the

opening but before the day closed
prices had worked back to within 1
cent of Friday's .‘close. According to
news of the crop prices should not
be going down. Canada is the only
country that reports a large crop
but they have not begun their har-
vest yet and when they do the crop
may turn out the same as much of
the wheat in the United States. The
standing grain in this country prom;-
ised Well but threshing returns Show

the wheat is shrunken and of in-
ferior quality owing to "the dry
weather. Dry weather complaints

continue to come from Europe;
France reports serious damage and
almost every other section of the
continent has felt the effects of no
rains. Indications are that there
will be a serious shortage of wheat
in the world and the majority of the
countries willhave to look to Am—
erica for their supply. Granting
that Canada does- have a large crop
there will still be "a heavy demand
in the United “States for wheat for
export. Farmers in general are
hauling their\wheat to‘market as
soon as it is threshed.

duty of the agricultural colleges of the
country to gi've more and more atten-
tion to study and instruction in the
field- of agricultural economics. The
'mlssion of our agricultixral colleges is
not, to promote agriculture at the ex-
pense‘of industry or commerce, nor to
give the tanner the sort of an educa-

of unfair advantage over other classes,
but rather through more scientific
methods of production and less wasteful
methods of distribution, enable him to

tion to get food to the consumer with
the least waste is just as binding as
the obligation to produce that food in
the first place. The farmer needs all

ion‘and' improve his distribution. * e
i 70hr period of: exploitation is practic-
i'aliy at an end. If our production is to
’be maintained, agriculture must be put
on. a thoroughly sound business bas1s.
'In times past those of our farmers who,
have gotten ahead financially have suc-
ceeded largely through the increased'
value of their land caused' by the grow-
ing population. ’The farmers of the fu-
ture can not hope to profit largely in
this way. From now on farming must
be conducted as other business, carry-
ing its own expense accoungfrom year
to year and yielding enough in the way
of a profit to justify the enterprise. This
means that We must not only increase
our production but must learn better
' methods of distribution, find less bur—
densome schemes of finance, and, in ad-
dition, learn how to take some of the
, speculative risks out of farming. —In
one sense the farmer is the greatest
speculator in the world, inthat his bus-
iness is subject to risks against which
he has not yet learned how. to insure.
He is at the mercy of the weather. He

can not control prouction as. can the
manufacturer. He has nothing to say
about‘ the price, an, indeed, does not

know until six months or a year after
the work is done what his wages, as
represented by the price he gets for his
crops“, will be. e has no certain way
of forecasting the probable demand.
He lacks the information ‘which, would
enable him to adjust his production of
different crops to the needs of the con-
sumer. Hence the higher financial re—
wards of farming have been paid not
for conscientious productive effort but
for shrewd speculative ingenuity, _a de-
cidedly bad system of economy.

therefore, of the ‘greatest importance

The Only Tapered Asphalt
Shingles «

Winthrops are the only asphalt shingles that
are scientifically correct in shape—~tapered.
Without the Taper they are not Winthrops.

The Taper

allows the shingles to lie flat on the roof. Thin
at the top and thick at the butt, they snuggle
close to the roof allowing no space for moisture
to gather nor wind to catch them and lift

them. _
The Big Butt

holds them down to the roof from the moment
they arelaid. The processed underside quickly
seals them there, creating practically a paved
surface, assuring you a permanent seal against

The Price

is $12.00 per square ' (100 square feet.) A
Winthrop roof saves you the cost of heavy
building construction throughout, which slate
or tile necessitates. They never break nor
crack, thus saving what you would ordinarily
pay for frequent replacements and repairs,
and the first cost—$12.00 per square—is lower
than slate, tile or any other satisfactory roof-
