millions, and the. big workings at Nitro,
West Virginia, at similar terrific losses,
while several nitrate plants in Ohio, Vir-
gina and other states were sold for junk, it
is easy to see how close was the escape of
the Muscle Shoals plant from a similar fate
and how fortunate are the farmers in se-
curing a purchaser and operator who will

light of a
of

tilizer profits and retain a monopoly would
be gone. Their tactics were to run down the
plant as much as possible ,and then when
the farmers had been worn out, to slip in
and pick it up for little or nothing.

It is plain therefore that these opposing
interests will make every effort to keep Mr.
Ford from securing control of the plant if
it can possibly be done. A good start has
been made but strong support on the part
of the farmers will be necessary to overcome
the opposition sure to center on this pro-
posal of Mr. Ford’s.

 

 

Mr. Ford’s Proposal for Muscle Shoals Development

-' ‘,~. 1. That the government complete
’ I: both the Wilson dam and dam No. 3,
just above the Wilson dam, at an esti-

mated cost: of $28,000,000. This in-

cludes the installation of locks, turbines,
power houses and all power equipment.

2. The Ford Company will then lease
this entire power outfit for a period of
100 years and pay the government an-
nually a sum equal to six per cent of the
$28,000,000 and in addition a sum each
year sufficient to extinguish within the
100 years the entire cost of the dams, es-
timated to be in the neighborhood of
$40,000,000. Mr. Ford also makes cer-
tain proposals to arrange foil the main-
tenance, and upkeep of the structures
during the period of the lease.

' 3. The Ford Company offers to pur-
chase all the nitrate plants, equipment,
lands, quarries and other property in
connection with the plants for a sum set
at $5,000,000.

4. To convert and operate the large
nitrate plant (No. 2) for the production
of fertilizers of various kinds, and to
keep it in readiness to produce nitrates
for explosives for the government in case
of war.

5. In order to insure that fertilizers
will be produced at lowest possible costs
and. sold to farmers at low profits, Mr.
Ford binds himself to limit the profits
to not more than 8 er cent and to create
manutacturo of nut-ates In America. a boa rd made up 1:)1' representatives of
the large farm organizations, and other interested bodies, to meet with
representatives of the plant, have access to all books and records, and
determine Whether or not this maximum is being observed. ‘ ,

By proper engineering developments the power made available
at the dams would eventually far exceed that needed for fertilizer pro-
duction and Mr. Ford is to have this for his own manufacturing uses.
A large use of this addition power is necessary in order to keep down
~ the cost of the power wed in fertilizer production.

or both, just as soon as the .
water power is available from “

mediately removed to the
site of the second dam. It
will not be necessary, how-

ever. to await the completion
of the second dam before op.
eration of the plant could be
started. A total of 600,000
horse-power would be created
by the hundred foot head of
water falling over Wilson
dam, but owing to the ir-
regular flow of the river
only one hundred thousand
would be available continu-
ously. A 90,000 horse-power
steam plant is available, how-
ever, to supplement the wa-.
ter power when needed, but
the use of this adds to the
cost of the product. One ' .
hundred thousand horse-pow- ‘
er is all that is needed for
the one nitrate plant.

With the two dams and
other engineering develop-
ments, in time it will prob-

WOOL SHEEP .

OARSE wool sheep are being

culled out by many sheepmen

of the state, largely because oi

the economic influence of the state

farm bureau wool pool, says Don

Williams, sheep extension specialist

for the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege, who is cooperating with the

farmbureau by handling sheep in-

struction work at the various pool-
ing centers.

_ COtsWolds, Lincoln and Leicesters
are being eliminated because they
produce such a low grade of wool,
says Mr. Williams. Their fleece
.goes largely into the manufacture of
carpets and similar products. Pack-
ers frequently dock the large lambs
of the coarse wool sheep for being
over weight and their owners are
turning to the medium and ‘fine

sheep are being retained in many
cases sheepmen are using the type
of ram to better the general quality
of their wool, according to Mr. Wil-
liams.

Grading crews of the State Farm
Bureau wool pool will invade the
upper peninsula July 25, according
to the farm bureau. It is possible
the pooling operations may be prac—
' tically at end in the southern pen-
insula by mideugust.

The farm bureau wool department
ls nearly through with the 1920
- pool. About 250,000 pounds remain
to be sold. It will be cleaned out at
an early date, according to the de-
partment. Practically no wool of
the 3,500,000 pooled could be sold
until February, 1921,, because of the
‘ mills shutting down. Since then,
wool has been sold at the rate of
more than a carload a. day for near-
ly six months. The magnitude of
. the pool and the bookkeeping task
of closing it up-lt almost beyond
comprehension says the wool de-
partment. A. E. Illenden, chairman
of the state farm bureau wool com-
mittee and a member of the state
farm bureau executive committee
is. assiSting the department to close
out the' 1920 pool at the earliest. pos-
- sible moment, says the farm bureau.

With the 1921 pool moving

~’toward the third million, wool de-

partment headquarters at Lansing
. is a busy place. Due to the de-
velopment of a special system oi!
wool pool bookkeeping last spring,
the 1921 wool pool a in closing out
shape every day, according to the
department.

Harvest season rush on the farm
has caused the farm bureau to let
* down temporarily in its wool. cam-
paign. Where farmers have time
for a grading day, graders are on
hand. Several of the teams are
operating on a day to day basis at
present. Resumption of £1111 speed
operations is expected by August 1.
Grading dates for the week of July
25 are: Monday—Rogers City, Cros—
. well, Kalamazoo CO. Tuesday—On-
away, North Branch, Kalamazoo CO.
Wednesday — Cheboygan, Lapeer.
Thursdawaaylord, Imlay City.

ARE THE farmers of Michigan lucky? On
- an average their crops are better than in
any of the neighboring states according to
Washington reports. Crops in Indiana have
5 sufiered heavily from hot weather. ~ Nearly all
: of the Other states are badly in need of rain
! as crops are drying up. Cultivated crops are
making good growth in Michigan and damage
; to Wheat is not as serious as was first believ-
! ed. Threshing returns from Tuscola county
3 show wheat yielding nearly 40 bushels to the
. acre.

- Reports gathered from all over the United
1 States by the field statisticians of the Bureau
f of Markets and Crop Estimates of the United
. States Department of Agriculture show that
y' the corn crop is generally making good growth
‘ and the cendition is reported to be favorable.
‘ .7 However, rain is needed in many sections and
‘ serious damage will result if the drought con-
' tinues‘much longer. Local showers have
, greatly benefited the crop in many districts
and fields» are generally clean and we‘ll culti-
vated. The crop is tasseling throughout the
central and northern states.

The harvesting of Winter wheat is nearing
completion in the central statesand making
good progress in the northern tier of states.
Threshing is in full progress and varying
yields are reported, ranging from poor to
good. Small, poorly filled heads 1 and much
shriveled grain are reported from many sec-
tions. From some states there are more fav-
orable reports, for instance, in Nebraska the
threshing returns continue to show higher
yields than were expected, and in western and
northwestern Oklahoma some good yields are
reported ' - ’

The spring wheat crop' shows considerable
deterioration due to heat drought and rust.
The crop is doing fairly well in Washington
although more moisture is needed. ,

US. Department of Agriculture Warns Consumers that They must Curb Appetite for Veal '” Y

H IGHER BEEF prices by next spring is
. i the deduction to be drawn from a study
ofdata on beef production collected by the
Department of Agriculture.
Three factors are seen by government mar—
" kct experts as evidence of an approaching beef
shortage. These arei Eirst, a marked decline
in the number of native cattle on the western
rangesfi second, the 30 per cent ad valorem im-
port dutyon beef cattle carried in the emer—
gency tariff; and, third, the mildness of the
winter and the early spring of 1920-21. _ \
.. That there should begin to crop up at this
time evidences of a deficient supply of beef

that from 1914 to 1918 the United States was

Farm Bureau, Wants 2-Cent

Tariff on Beans

ECLARING that the proposed permanent
tariff of 1 1-4 cents per pound on beans,
as suggested under the terms of the perma-
nent‘ tariff, now before Congress, is not sufi‘ic-
ient to protect American farmers against J ap-
anese competition, the State Farm Bureau ex-
ecutive committee at its meeting of July 12,
addressed a letter to Joseph W. Fordney, of
Michigan, chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, and to the other Michigan
members of the House and Senate, asking them
to work for the retention of the present emerg-
ency tariif of two cents per pound. The two
cent rate, invthe opinion of the farm bureau,
is equitable and affords ample protection for
American bean growers. '
Lower labor costs and a lower standard of
living in Japan would enable Japanese ex—
porters to break theAmerican farmer’s mar-
ket, said the farm bureau, which addressed its
letter to the Congressmen in behalf of 100,000
Michigan farmers, many of whom are heavily
interested in beans. '

yearly crop. This year’s shortage can not be
made. up by increased production the follow-
ing season, as from two to four years must
elapse between the birth of a calf and its ap-
pearance on the censumers’ dinner tables. Ab-
normal depletion of the beef supply of a coun-
try, consequently, means more than temporary
incenvenience of a single season’s stringency,
as might be the case with a, failure of the wheat
crop.
. Will Curtail Imports ’

Fortunately the emergency tariif permits
widelatitude in the importation of cattle for
breeding purposes, not limiting the privilege
of duty free imports to pure-bredh registered
stock, as was the real intention of framers of
the act. It will, however, during the term of
its operation very seriously curtail imports of
beef cattle for immediate consumption and
will contribute largely to the impending short-
‘age in the spring of 1922.

In 1920 imports from Canada, America’s

-.principal foreign source of supply, amounted

to about 300,000 head. These cattle were al-
most entirely “feeders;” that is, lean range

The blackberry and raspberry crops are excel-
lent in some localities, but are being dried up
in others. Plums, prunes and apricots have
been damaged by sunburn in California and
considerable loss is also reported from the high
winds, especially to pears. Early cherries are
being picked in Wisconsin. -"‘

All classes of livestock are generally in g00d
condition although suffering somewhat from
poor pastures in the drouth sections. Some
stall—feeding is being reported to in W'iscon-
sin. Some sporadic cases of hog cholera are re-
ported in Georgia. .

Hay and pasture lands are suffering from
drouth, except in districts where local show-
ers have fallen. Conditions are especially un-
favorable to spring seeded clover. Ranges and
hay crops in the far western states aresatis—

The condition of the main crops in the lead-
ing states are reported as follows:

Corn

Illinois: Growth forced rapidly by hot weather,

tasselmg in north. Moisture generally needed.

Indiana: Unless a general rain occurs within a
few days much of the crop will be seriously dam-
aged.

lowa: Crop growing“ rapidly; outlook promis—
ing. Considerable corn tasseled and shooting
the ear.

Michigan: Growth unusually rapid and crop,
well advanced. Outlook more promising than'
any other crop.

Texas: Cultivation well advanced.

Wisconsin: Condition continues excellent but
soil too dry in some localities. Early planted
corn is in tassel. Corn root lice have appeared
in the southwestern counties.

“linter Wheat
Illinois: Threshing progressing rapidly and
yields generally lower than expectations. Some
reports of small, poorly filled heads and shrivel-
ed grain. (Continued on page 11)

         
        
      
        
   
   
    
 
 
    
  
   
    
  
  
 
 
 
  
   
  
  
  
    
  
  
   
      
   
    
   
   
      
       
    
    
   
  

gency act will cut off almost 75 per cent of

 

summer of 1922.
Natural Feed a Factor

Another factor that may produce higher
prices is the abundance of natural feed that
grew on the ranges last winter and this spring
as a result of the Unusuallly mild season. Cattle
coming in from the .west this summer and fall,
the expertssay, will be so fat and well condi-i
tioncd that most oftlum Will be bought by the
packing companies and thus enter directly
into consumption. The result will be, it is
claimed that “feeder” cattle will be scarce
and the corn belt farmer who ordinarily would
fatten several beeves for the Winter and spring
market will sell his grain instead of feeding it

'i‘LAsT‘ FALL the fruit growers of Doni-_
phan county, Kansas, found themselves

.with a fair crop of apples on their hands and :

no place to market them at a profit. The crop
' was not large but market men had speculated
in storage apples the year before and had lost
meney so they were backward about making
purchases for fear of losing still more. Un-
settled financial conditions also helped to ’dc~
pressthe market and make dealers careful.
,But these‘growers were not to be discouraged ,
and the took the matter up with their farm
bureau of which they were members. The
ocunty agent of Doniphan county and the
agent froma nearby county set the farm
bureau machinery in action to market the
fruit in the ‘two counties at a profit to the
growers. As other sections of the state and
adjoining states had suffered a heavy loss of
their fruits the agents thought other bureaus
might be glad to help the Doniphan county
growers dispose of the apples by taking or-
iders' from their members and an investigation
proved them only too glad to do this.

The orchardmen had previously marketed
small fruits cooperatively and they looked up-‘
on the new project with favor and confidence.
About the time the growers had made their
decision the annual state orchard tour ar-
rived in‘ Doniphan county and it was thought
that this would be a good opportunity to get
the ideas of growers from other parts of the
state. The plan was discussed during the
tour and it was decided that they ask the as-
sistance of the state farm bureau and state
agricultural college. Both of these promised
their hearty cooperation when approached
upon the subject and the growers prepared
themselves for business, .

First they decided to determine the quantity
of apples they would haverto sell. In order
to get this information each member of the as-
sociation was required to sign a contract in
which they bound themselves to sell all of

they established grades that must be con-

the fruit. Following this, prices were set for
the different varieties and grades. They were
then ready for business and sent out reports

ceived from Kansas, New Mexico, Minnesota,
Illinois, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Texas,
Missouri, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Iowa.

“Our survey indicated that we had at
least 100,000 barrels to sell,” said the county

Better Sires Specialto Tour Twenty-Five Counties ingMiChigan

Train Leaves M. A. C. on August 1 for Twenty Day Trip to Interest Farmers in Improved Dairying V.

DAIRY demonstration train, to be
known as the Better Sires Special, will
tour some twenty odd counties in Michigan
during the month of August in the interests
of improved dairying in the state. The
train, which is being handled cooperatively
by several agricultural bodies, will start from
the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing
.. on Monday, August 1, and swing up through
the eastern half of the “state, over the lines of
the Michigan Central Railroad. The return
will bring the train down the West Shore,

- over the G. R. and I. route. -
“ Cooperative groups putting on the train
‘ include the Michigan Agricultural College,
the Michigan Holstein-Friesian: Association,
the North-East Michigan Development Bu-
reau, the New York Central and Pennsylvan-
ia Railroads; and local county farm bureaus.
Exhibit and demonstration features are to
be combined in the make—up of the special.
One car will display exhibits bearing on
dairying in general and its allied industries.
Dairy feeds and feeding rations, methods of
handling and cooling milk on the farm, soil

Just about that time my son-in-law

Henry Ford’s Latest Scheme
N THE front cover of this issue will be
found thecomplcte story frOm our special
Washington Correspondent of Henry Ford’s
offer to buy the gigantic nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals, Alamaba, from the war depart-

} ment of the United States government.

Here is a great plant built during the war
and intended for the production of nitrates
used in the production of gun powder, which
was never completed or put into operation be-
cause with the signing of the armistice, cer-

‘1 tain senators and representatives, saw in it

'1' the possibility of making it a glaring example
‘ of political war-time waste and shouted from
. the house tops during the recent presidential
- campaign of its impracticalness.

Now, our own well—known and apparently
practical and successful business man and

, manufacturer, Mr. Henry Ford, comes for-
. ward with an offer which fairly jolted these
‘self-satisficd politicians
. horses.
' offered to take this “white—elephant” off from

off their hobby-
For none other than Mr. Ford, has

Uncle Sam’s hands, with a payment of some

, $5,000,000 down and the balance of $80,000,-

000 over a period of one hundred years.
Mr. Ford, it is said, proposes to operate this

, nitrate plant as it was originally planned and

intended, but instead of its product going into
the destructive channels of war, to divert it

‘ into the productive channel of agricultural

‘ fertilizer.

The surplus power created by the
great Wilson dam to operate his own and per-
haps other manufacturing plants which would
be built nearby.

Today the farmers of this country are al—
most entirely dependent on foreign sources
for their ever-increasing demand for nitrates.

'It is easy to imagine where the opposition to

the completion of this nitrate plant in Amor-
ica has come from. There are powerful and
immensely’wcslthy syndicates which are in
absolute control of. the importation of this ma-
terial no“ and they will doubtless fight any
attempt to complete this n1trate plant to a
fimsh.

Mr. Ford’s proposition thus brings right
out in tho limclic‘ht. a matter which the farm
organization heads at "Washington have bat-
tied to 'cvcn not considcrcd. Now the Whole
American public are waiting for the answer
from Mr. Hording’ s cabinet. M12. Ford has

Tim» Days.Work; Twenty Days Pay "
OU- KNOW of course, that the legislature
of the state ,of Michigan was called back
to Lansing the early part of this month by
Governor Groesbeck to go through the formal-
ity of changing the Soldiers’ Bonus Enabling

Bill, so that the bonds issued, would be salei‘

able.
The legislators tore themselves away from

their several tasks, hurried to Lansing and

out of the two days they were in actual session.

they spent, at least a few hours, at their weary
desks in. the house and senate.

It was warm in Lansing, we will admit
that! It was trying to be recalled to the cap-
itol, even for so pressing a matter as reward—
ing the boys who went to France; So the
legislature voted its members or the members
voted themselves TWENTY DAYS PAYFOR
THE TWO DAY’S THEY WERE IN LANS-
ING AMOUNTING TO $100 EACH! In ad-
dition, of course, to their traveling expenses.

If you don’t believe it and we would not ex-
pect you to at first reading, look into the rec-

_ ords of the special session and sec for yourself.

Remember, kind friends it was warm in Lans-
ingl

Now comes this (July 18th) morning ’3 dis-
patches with the reassuring news that the sec-
retary of the senate has not presented to the
state treasurer any claim for the payroll, cov-
cring this special bonus It is hinted in many
quarters that the weather has cooled off in
Lansing and that several legislators who told
their wives in glee about their $100 grab, have
been taken to the woodshcd by their more
sane spouses and warned never to do it again.

As we understdnd it, no member of either
house or senate has had the “nerve” to demand
of the state treasurer the $100 which he vot-

ed to himself for the two days he was away 1

from- home. In our opinion the first one who
does ought to have an equestrian statue of
himself astride a longearcd jackass, set on the
capitol lawn at Lansing.

Future historians however in explaining

’ this piece of patriotic legislation should not
warm in Lans- ,

fail to mention that‘ ‘it was

Railway President Cuts Rates, But—
E HATE to talk so much about what
Henry, our near-neighbor at Dearborn
'is doing, but if he will insist on doing the

things which we all like to hear about, well, '

then We must add to his fame, because—

The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railway, of
which Henry Ford is President and owner,
filed with the railway commissioners of Ohio
a. voluntary reduction in freight rates to the
public of twenty per cent, effective August
20th. This is believed to be the first railway
in America to announce a voluntary reduc-
tion in *rates. ‘

If 'you will recall that no man
by this railway [is paid less than $6 per day,
you will find some further food for reflection,
especially if you have had the temerity to

even question the statements recently put out
such ,

by the poor railroads which follow
Wholly unprofitable routes of travel as ' be-
tween New York Detroit and Chicago. Please
remember that the D. T. & 1.1151,, has been a

it runs for nearly four hundred miles from -

the world will be especially wrought up over

~the announcement just made by the new chair—

of

man, Mr. Lasker, that there was a loss '
$380,000,000 last year instead of $99,000,000
as previously reported. ,

Not that this is not a great amount of
money when considered from an individual
standpoint, but because it is really a very
small amount when measured by the re-
sources of that country and 111 the light of the
greater benefit whichds to. some from this step
towards transportation independence. , ‘

5 No one expects, until the government puts

the Shipping Board on a solid business basis,

that the ships will ever make money. The

plan is not a money¢making scheme and the _. ‘

profits are to be found in the lowered cost
of delivering the American farmers’, as well
as the American manufacturers’
the foreign-market in competition with other
countries, who have for years, operated a
merchant marine under subsidy.

And then, those of us who watched the

anything that happens, either to .the ships

which are guided by these patriots or by the
statements of loss which they prepare to in- .

fluenCe public opinion.
Mr Lasker, we hope, is made of the stuff
that will fight out this destructive element

in the shipping board. He is a business man .

who has made an enviable record in a busy

"lifetime and if he has, as we hope, the success

of the United States merchant marine as his '

single goal, he will only smile at the ineifio
icncy which piled up a Idss last year of nearly
four hundred millions of dollars, and go in to
reduce it before the next public statement

Shortage of' Beechming ,

on a recent survey are seemingly sound and
are published in full on page 3 of this issue.
The importance of this announcement ought
to strike home to every real business farmer,
for it is the man who looks further than his
neighbors fence who profits in the long run.
Michigan has never been far famed as a
“feeding” state, but there are undoubtedly
sections of this state where it could be carried
on in a large way and practically every farm-

a few extra steers and thus carry on this
profitable farm operation in, at least, a small

system of drainage laws. There is
nothing to hinder any county with
a large drainage district from wak-
~ing up some fine morning and dis-
covering that they too have been
tieeced to the same amount or more.
We certainly have too. many office
holders 'in both county and _‘tOWH'
ships. You say, “11? commission gov-
ernment is a good thing we want it.
if it is no better the. we have now,
We don’t want it.” w I claim that
the chief good in changing any form
of government, township, county,
state or national comes from the
fact that change is possible. Our
national constitution is constantly in
process of amendment, our state
constitution is recast at least during
every generation.

I think the people of the counties
and townships should have a chance
to pry loose their political harnacles.
aThecitizens or townships and coun-
ties can certainly be trusted to try
out any form of government they
like whether “commission” or some
other form. I am not saying that
« the people of Kalkaska or Ingham
or You Boron want any change but
they ought to have to assume the
responsibility of voting upon the
subject once in a while.

Someone has said that “Constant
vigilance is the price of liberty,’.’
which is the same as saying that any
form of government depreciates with
age and has to be repaired or
amended and sometimes built en-
tirely new. The new house general-
ly has some improvements on the
old one .and I believe the people of
the .townships and counties can
build a better form of town and
county government than we have
now. If we are given the liberty to
vote ,on these proposed changes I
have no fear but that conditions will
be battered. _

Let’s have achange at least and
let’s be intelligent enough about it
so that there will be no jumping
from the “drying pan into the fire.”

The main point being that we are.

certainly in the “drying pan” now
[let’s get out. Let’s have a change
of some sort and trust to the interl~
ligemce of the voters to make con-
ditions better. -—John C. Stafford,
- Van Buren County, Mich.

We get accused mm in awhile of be-
ing radical, but we -oau'mot remember
ever, having sponsored a change, "just
to have one", There is somewhere un-
doubtedly a sane, practical» plan for an
improvement in the present method of
county, administration. We are looking
for it and when we find it we will pre-

“IT NEVER PAYS TO DO WRONG"

WAS MUCH interested in the
lIarticle in this department en-
* titled, “It never Pays to Do
Wrong,” by 3. T. Daniels. The zeal
of the author in having three thous- ,
and little pink motto cards printed
bearing the plain, true words, “It
Pays Always to Do Right and It
Never Pays to D0 Wrong,” isicerr
tainly commendable, but I question
its truth or that it will do any last-
ing good. To a thinking person- the
query at once arises, are they- plain,
true words? I claim not, for what
one person calls right another per-
son calls wrong, and paradoxical as
it may seem, both are right. It all
depends upon the viewpoint.

To impress the question of right
and wrong upon children in this
manner is erroneous, because no
one knows for sure What is right or
what is wrong.'

some one else. What I was taught.
to be “truth and right” when I was
a boy, I have since became a man‘
discarded as being false. Why? Be-
cause I‘lcarned- as Lgrew older that
the “truth” and "right” was based
on error, and that my father and my
teachers were mistaken in their be-
liefs, which were not true at all.
Every one has had experiences of!
this kind

Let me tell \ou something. True
education comes tram within out
and not 1mm without in. I venture
to say' that Mr. Daniels will take ex-
ception tot-his statement, and de-
nounce it as erroneous. So there
you are. Who shall decide? Why
the individual himself and not
some one else. If Mr._, Daniels had
taken the words of the Great Teach—
er, f‘Do unto others as ye would
that others should do unto you,” in-
stead of the ones he did use, then
he would have set an example worthy
of greater praise and emulation,
because this precept faithfully liv-
ed up to by old and young, would in
a few years wipe Off all the laws on
our statute books.

Training children in the way they
should go, according to some one
else’s idea, as the wrong transla-
tion in the Bible admonis‘hes us to
do, is "decidedly wrong. The orig—
inal text does not so teach. It should
read: “Train up a youth in the di-
rection of his own duty, even when
he becometh old he will not depart
from it. " Fihd out what the child s'
inclination is, and then train him
accordingly, even if it is contrary to
what you would like to have him
’be, Then we will not have so many

‘ in this way? and #1111111 it delicious.

The following vegetables may be
prepared by this method Beet tops,
chard, cabbage, string beans, green
‘ peas and corn. The beans should be
cut in 2 in. pieces, the cabbage shred-
ed and the peas shelled. Husk the
ears of corn and remove the silk.
Gook in boiling water for 10 minutes
to set the milk. Cut the corn from
'the cob with a sharp knife.

Baiting [Without Fermentation

In this method the vegetables are
packed with enough salt to prevent
fermentation or the growth of yeasts
or molds. The following directions
should be followed in- salting vege-
tables: 4

Wash the vegetables, drain off the
water, and then weigh them. For
each 100 pounds of vegetables weigh
out'25 pounds of salt. For smaller
quantities use the sameproportion
of salt (one-fourth of the weight of
the vegetables). Spread :1 layer of
the vegetables about 1 inch deep on
the bottom of a clean keg, tub or
crock and sprinkle heavily with
some of the salt. Try to distribute
the salt evenly among the different
layers packed so that the quantity
weighed out will be just enough to
pack the vegetables. Continue add-
ing layers of vegetables and salt un—
til the container is nearly full and
then cover with the clean cloth,
board and weight, as in the case of
fermentation with dry salting. The
keg or other container should then
be set aside in a cool place. If the
salt and pressure of the weight have
not extracted sufficient brine to cov-
er the vegetables, after 24 hours,
prepare a strong brine by dissolving
,1 pound of salt in 2 quarts of wa-
fter and pour enough of this over
the vegetables to come up to the
round wooden cover. There will be
a small amount of bubbling at the
start, as in the case. of the ferment-
ed vegetables, but this will not con-
tinue for long. Just as soon as the
bubbling has stopped, the surface of
'the liquid should be protected by
one of the methods following. No
scum should be allowed to form on
the surface of the brine to prevent

Paraffin may be used over and

If the paraffin becomes dirty it may
be meltedand strained through sev-
eral thicknesses of cheesecloth.

tion to liquid oils is the difficulty
of getting at the vegetables without

school and will be a junior next year. I
like to go to school and a. good educa-

the best education they can for one will
never regret it: Don’t you agree with

able to do as those. boys and girls do.
I regret to say that there is nothing of
that sort around‘here, for I think it is
educational as well as entertaining.
What are you boys and girls going to do

are you going to do? I should very.
much like tto go to Niagara Falls this

would you like to have me tell you about

I should be very glad to do
so. Have any'of you ever been to the

Clyde Stewart and R. W. Peters
said that high freight rates were
holding back the farmer’s business.
Stewart declared. it cost as much to

for it. Peters declared that the

railroads and coal mines should not
be forced to pay war time prices for
men.

Herbert Vincent, general farmer,
said that last fall he could hardly
close his granary doors on a. bump-

lars on his crop investment because
of high labor costs and a low mar—
ket for farm products. He favored

littering the proximity of this loca-
tion to the big iron, coke and lime-
stone supplies of Alabama and Ten-
5nessee, and the river navigation
” that will be made available by the
proper handling of the waters of the
Tennessee, there is reason to believe
-that this may all eventually mean
further material reductions
cost of these machines. The farm—
' or would therefore benefit from this
source as well as through cheaper
' fertilizers.

Located‘ as it is, within thirty-five
miles of the largest phosphate mines
in the United States, and in view of
the recent experiments which show
it to be entirely feasible to make
phosphate fertilizers at greatly re-
duced costs by electric methods,
there is strong probability
should Mr. Ford’s proposal be ac-
cepted by the government, we will
before manyyears be getting our
phosphate fertilizers from Muscle
Shoal or similar water power de-
velop ents. It is understood that
, Mr. Ford would expect to devote
. considerable effort and expense to
' . ‘ the perfecting of improved process-
' " es. In fact nitrate plant number
~ , one might well be made an experi-
“ mental plant. This plant was de-/
° 9 . signed to make nitrate by a modi-
fied German (Haber) process but
has never proved an economical. pro-
ducer. The possibilities of develop-
- ,' . ‘ ment along these lines are limitless,
" and knowing Mr. Ford’s love for the
new and the original, and also his
oft-expressed desire to help agricul-
~ ' ‘ ture, it is not too much to predict
that under Mr Ford’ s control rapid
and revolutionary changes in
. fertilizing methods and materials
, would follow.

‘ In order to make contain that all
benefits derived from the cheap
power, the salvaging of government
pronerty, and the advance of science
shall go direct to the farmer. Mr.

~ Ford’s proposal arranges for an in-

dependent board consisting of rep—

, resentatiVes of the American Farm

5 Bureau Federation, the Farmers’

Union, and"the Grangepto meet with

a lesser number of representatives

’of the Ford company and determine

by examination of the books that

the maximum profit of 8 per. cent set

in the proposal, is not exceeded.

Under this arrangement it will be

seen that it is decidedly to the farm-

_ ers advantage for the plant and the

I}, ' equipment to be turned over to Mr.

Ford at as low a price as possible.

”Interest on the investment and the

cost of power are the two biggest

factors in the making of nitrates.

None but a very large company hav—

' . ing use for large amounts of power

-« ' ' could handle this proposition, since

‘» 3 L _ ‘ it is only by the full utilization

5"? I . ' the water power that the cost per
. unit used can be kept down.

. The final determination as to the

' ' acceptance or rejection of this offer

lies with congress. Authorization

must be given the War Department

and the money must be appropriat-

_.. .ed, to complete the dams. The re-

commendation of Mr. Weeks, Sec-~

retary of”War, may have"something

to do with the case, but not a great

deal. So thoroughly did this matter

become mixed up in politics last

winter that it is now practically an

,administration matter and the ac-

tions of the leaders in congress will

be taken only after careful party

caucus. The desire of the leaders

is, still, to protect certain corpora...

tions which would like to. keep oth-

ers, and especially Mr. 'Ford, out of

the fertilizer and water power field.

_, But so tight has the pressure he-

come that it is difficult to see how
they can still carry out this plan in
the face of the honest desire of the.

Pointed undesitim-ete the, amount of

"paint needed for a given job.

”A few simple rules given, below
may be of service ‘to you and possi-

bly. save you some money on paint: .

To find the square feet in flat or
nearly flat‘r’oofs, multiply the length,
by\ the width.’ ‘ '1 . , .

If the roof is irregular in shape,-
as many are, the square feet are

the comb (A to B) by distancebe-
tween the eaves and comb,.‘(D to B.)
Then measure from A to C and mul-
tiply by the distance from E to C,
then divide ’the result by 2.

Add the results of, the two'calcu-u

lation .

If here are gables .in the roof‘

multiply the length of the rafters by
one half the distance from the cor-

nice to.the peak; then multiply this -

result by the number of gables; that
is if the gables are all the samesize.
If different each must be calculated

‘ separately. . :

1To get' the square feet in the ex-

~terior walls, multiply the length all

around the house by the height of
the wall. If there are any gables
add the area of each and then add
one-fifth of the entire result for
trimmings. '

For example:5 Measurements are

.wanted for a house which is '30 ft.

wide by 50 feet long by 20ft high
to cornice. It has two gables 10 ft.
high and 30 feet wide. Answer: 2

ends 30 ft. wide equal 60 ft; 2’ sides

MAXWELL-JAMES BANKRUPT'

On Jan. 5th I sent an order to Max-
well James Inc.‘, of New York for $5.67
but made .9. .mistake in footing up and
sent check for $4.28. Heard from them
a few days later saying I did not send
enough money- I then sent them an-
other check of $1.39 for balance of ac-
count but did not receivefihe goods. I

have, written them three or four times ,

but they ignore my letters and I have
been unable to get any reply whatever
from them. The checks have been re-
turned to my local banK showmg that
they received their money.
service departmnet of your paper where
you have collected several such accounts
so thought I would send thisone to you
for collection.——,F.» . . . ' .

Upon writing Maxwell-James, Inc.,
we received a letter. from Harold A:
Content, receiver, informing us that
the order referred to could not be
filled because i petition in bank»
ruptcy was filed against this concern
March 17, 1921. Heaven knows how

much money for unfilled orders the‘

Maxwell-James gathered in between
Jan. 5th and March 17th. A bit of
irony is lent to the affair by the fact
that on the company’s .letter head
which'the receiver. used to notify us
of the bankruptCy appears a pretty
little fac-simile of an engraved bond
with ribbon andseal and the confi-
dence inspiring Words “Your gold
bond . guaranteeing absolute satis-
faction—or your money promptly re-
funded, Maxwell, Trees.” . . .

Feeders insist upon .a Wider margin
than usual, between the feeder and

seem to. be leading the procession

_. matter of cheerful optimism con-
coining the future of the dairy cow.
The present outlook indicates that
the Guernsey representation at the

' ever sent forward by the breed.

’A decline of about $40 per head
‘in the value of fat bullocks in the
VLondon and Liverpool markets is
taking the life out of the export de-
,mand for cattle which it was hoped
would increase in volume as the sea-
son advanced; an increase of $10
per head, freight rates and ocean
passage; is another discouraging in-
fluence which exporters must con-
tend with from this time on. If the
carriers, both at home and abroad,
continue to demand as their share
all or the profits the undertaking
yields, the business or cattle raising
' can hardly be continued advantages

TRADE ANE MARCKET REVIEW
ENERAL trade and business

  

my little change of late and
no change is looked for until more
definite conclusions, relative to the
damage which the crops of the coun-
try have sustained as a result of the
freak summer which is rapidly
drawing to an end. All kinds of
grain are sntfcring from an excess-
ive heat and lack of moisture and
. present indications favor greatly re-
. ' duced yields; while the conditions
’ referred to have a direct bearing
upon the prosperity of the farmer
indirectly, they effect every depart-
ment of human endeavor. There
are certain products of the farmer’s
(soil that have completely changed
front in the. last six weeks; they
have gone. from dullness and appar-
ently overstocked markets to ,a
marked scarcity and a pressing de-
mand. The entire live stock liSt is
headed toward higher prices, the
cause being the prospect of a great
fallino' otl‘ in supplies during: the
next five years; extremely low pric-
es and bad markets have combined
to make many growers completely
discouraged and they have sent for-
ward their flocks and herds until it
is now apparent. that a scarcity im-
pends that may eventually trans-
form and modify the entire breeding
program.

Natural basic products such as
wool hides, cotton. iron, steel and
copper are dull with very little hope
of a. revival this side of the Winter
season. .Tbc textile industry is pros-
pering‘ and the demand for automo-
biles is the wonder of the hour. The
labor situation, while still decided-
ly bad in many localities; in Detroit
and the district. immediately sur-
rounding, conditions are improving.
steadily. in spite of the hot weather
and mfilions of calamity bowlers
who have no other interest in the
matter in hand except the opportun-
ity to purchase table supplies at very
low prices. Detroit and its environs
are giving: employment. to nearly
114,000 men and an-angements are
being made that will result in the
employment. of many more.

Very little improvement in busi-
ness conditions on the other side of
the water has been noted of late and
no change for the better is looked
for before next year. The ram‘d in-
crease in the export demand for our
products would be decidedly encour-
aging were. it not for the fact that
this demand is evidently anticipat-
ing a. decrease in supplies. .Foreian
exchange is dull and working lower
as a. natural result of the tremendous
trade balance in our favor.

Business on the New York Stock
Exchanirc is drll and quiet with 1110-
tors and rails taking the lead; the

whichthe automobile factories have
enjoyed since prices were shaded.
has increased the. investment call for
the former stock issues and many
favorable developments of recent

(Note: The above summarized Information we: received AFTER the balance a? the unr-

ous enough to change the bullish
tone of the market. Black rust“is
said to be ruining the grain in many
sections. Data on daily export bus-
iness remains asillusive as ever but
grain is going out of this country
and in no small quantities. Europe
must come to us for some of her
supply as the European crop is
small and it is believed there will bé
a great shortage there. Canadian
Wheat has been damaged quite bad-
ly by rust according to experts from
the United States who have visited
that country which will cut down
their exportable supply and increase
the demand for our grain. Trading
in Wheat is increasing but receipts
continue so large that there is plenty
of grain to supply demands. Many
farmers are hauling their grain to
market direct from the threshing
machine; in fact, so many are doing
this that the farmer who holds his
wheat will profit by it before anoth-
er harvest from all indications.
The opening of the present week
saw wheat receipts so large at Chi-
cago that prices made sharp de-
clines but before the day was over
a rally was staged and prices gain-
ed back some of the loss. Chicago
received 1,250 cars of Wheat. the
largest number received in a. long
time. News of rust damage in Can-
ada continue to come in but it is
reported that the crop-is 10 days
early and can be harvested before
any serious loss appears. Foreig-m
ers continue to take winter Wheat as
fast as it is placed on the market, ac-
cording to reliable information.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., July 23,
1921.——-During early part of the week
centering on July 24 a. great high
temperature wave will cover Alaska
and all the northern Rockies. It
will be the first or front disturbance
of the last storm of July and will
cross Michigan not far from July .20,
as it moves 'southeazstward, reaching
the Atlantic coast two or three days
later. That storm will street the
whole continent and its forces will be
a littl less than i_n the storms just
proceeding it Not much change in

will end the July rain locations.

August will be an unusually quiet
weather mouth; extremes of heat are

.1 not expected to be so great as in June

and July but the general average
temperature of the month is expected
be as much above normal as were
I'the tempemures of June and July.
«Not any great change in rainfall is
expected for August. but the small
changes are expected to result in a.
'better distribution of moisture on
this continent I can see no relief
,for the dry conditions of northwest-
. mm but there are indications
of relief for the dry spots on this
continent during August For mid-

Discouraging reports of the grow-

Most of the trade is bullish and mar-
ket students say the present. re-
serve on farms is not as large as we
have been inclined to believe. Good
sales for shipment were reported at,
Chicago, the greater portion con-
sisting of heavyweight old oats as
there was a_particular demand for
this kind. Gets were unchanged in
price or‘ market tone on Monday of
the current week at both Chicago
and Detroit. The supply was light
and news bullish.

As to advice for sowing winter“

favorable but as there are large ex—
ceptions the advice cannot be given
in a general forecast ,~The general
prospects for winter grain for 1922
look good, both in market values and
amount of production. but conditions .
in some large sections must be dealt
with more in detail;

Agriculture is now at its lowest as
a business but for the near future
it is the surest of successes. Never
has there been a t e when agricul-
ture’s immediatefi ure looked so
bad as now. and never was there a.
time when prospects just a little
ahead promised so muchin America.

its people are discouraged. it Is next

debts Their agriculture is in decay
and whatever of its debts it can pay
will come to this country in gold
leaving 11 basis for sound financial
conditions in Europe. Millions of the
best classes of Europe are coming
to this country and agriculture will

America’s Fourth City Appreciates this
Quality Brand of Meat-Products

We believe that the business farmers of Michigan are interested in and have a right to be kept informed of the
progress of this independent packing company, which was organized over a year ago and now has a small section of its
great plant in actual, pfofitable operation. . . , ~ _, - ~

 

 

 

We are anxious, too, that you should know of the progress we are making not only in“ the building operations
which speak for themselves, but in the report of the business which is actually being donein Detroit and nearby markets.
‘ So far, selling the Detroit Star Brand meat products has been the easiest part of our undertaking. Detroit deal-

ers have been quick to see the superior quality of our goods and have not hesitated to recommend them to their cus—
tomers, who after a trial have come back enthusiastically for more. . y . , , c ,_ - - ‘

This means that when we begin actual slaughtering in the great plantmow. nearing completion, the brand will be
well established, the trade actually waiting for our increased volume and the market firmly established. ‘ -

We are already produ cing in our sausage and smoke d meat departments a quality of product Which' 18 new to the
Detroit markets- Heretofore the greater percentage of this class of meats has all come from Chicago or other distant '
points. Think of our advantage in being able to..deliver with motor trucks, (of which we already have in daily opera-
tion a fleet of ten) directly from the packing house to the dealer! . . , , ,

We feel certain that the business farmers of Michigan will mark this satisfactory p regress of our company with
as much interest and satisfaction as we do ourselves, whether or not they have availed themselves of the opportunity of ‘
owning a share in the company. . . ..

BE SURE TO PLAN TO VISIT OUR PLANT WHEN YOU COME TO DETROIT FOR THE MICHIGAN
STATE FAIR, September 2nd to September 11th. . V 1--.... V. , V __
