BY THE EDITOR.

At the time of which I speak, about July
7th, most of the grain in these Sections was
ripe and ready for cutting. ‘ 'The reader
should realize that northern France lies be-
tween latitudes 49 and 50 which is nearly
600 miles north of the latitude of Adrian,

‘Michigan, and over 200 miles north of the

latitude of ,Sault Ste. Marie. ’ With this
fact in mind, the reader can better apprec—
iate what efiect the drought has had in
France and England in prematurely ripen-
ing the crops. V

On an automoble trip I took with 8.

North Wales which perhaps felt the drought
the least of any other part of England, I
passed several small river beds absolutely
devoid of water, and one large river in
particular which at normal tide was per-

but which at this time had dwindled to a
mere rivulet, in which children paddled.

Drouth Still Continues

A Paris cable dated July 16th shows that
there has been no relief from the dry weath-

always fighting and kept on fighting, no matter how the battle went. That
is the secret of every great victory that ever was won—to keep 0n fighting.

- ' 'GEORGE WASHINGTON is another great example of the important
paid? the sticking faculty plays in the victorious life. Washington kept on
fighting, losing and winning battles, but never becoming _disheartened, for
his final triumph was as certain as that day follows night. He knew that
he was'fighting for justice and thatno just fight is ever lost.

JOHN BROWN, the negro’s friend, did not win in his natural life-
time, but he did win by infusing his patriotic ardor into posterity, into the
men who went with his spirit singing, “John Brown’s body lies moldering
in the grave.” -

voyage of disco‘very, no peril or disaster could turn him from his purpose.
lot even when his mutinous crew refused to go any further and threatened
to put him in chains did he flinch or waver. When he quelled the mutiny
and was trying to recharge the sailors withhis own courage, hope and en-
thusiasm, one asked, “But, admiral, what shall we do when 'our hope is
gone?” “Sail on, sail on, and on!” was the dauntless reply.

But it is not always the prize won or the glory of victory which pays
one for carrying on under the most discouraging circumstances until the
goal is reached. It is the consciousness of the great moral victory over one’s
weaker, lower self; the joy of finding one’s divine unoonquerable self; the
sense of power that comes from always fighting and sticking to one’s aim
in the face of all discouragements, when the prospect of success seems very
dim and the shadow of failure constantly looms up before one. This is the
great prize, the everlasting glory of every true victory.—Mich:igan Trades-

“Rivers are drying up
and reservoirs in many plac-

like other plants, are yel-
low and shriveled instead
of presenting their usual
healthy growth of green

appearance of fields it is
not too strong a statement
to say that all crops will be
failures. Such a disaster

Milk Producers’
drafted a resolution to Congress
asking for, the abolition «at intmtato

Weeks Spams Ford’s Oiier

‘ ECRETARY OF WAR Weeks has knocked

Henry Ford might be permitted to buy the
Muscle Shoals nitrate plant and go ahead in

Weeks declares that the Ford offer does not

whose taxes went to the support of the great
project during the war. ,

If that is Secretary Weeks’ strongest ar-
gument against disposing of these facilities
to Mr- Ford it is a mighty lame one. Ever
since the war closed the government has been
virtually giving away valuable properties
created by the exigencies of war. Camps
have been dismantled and the material sal-
vaged’at enormOus losses to the government.

- Engines of destruction have in turn been de—
, stroyed or rendered useless without a dol-
,lar’s compensation to the taxpayer.

In its
haste to cut loose frOm activities in which it
engaged during the war, the government has
sacrificed hundreds of millions of the tax-
payers’ dollars. So 'it is hard to understand

’A’ST‘ FALL a noted economist returned

' months in making“ a careful and thorough
. study of conditions over there, and in a speech

sied a large export demand for American
VWhea't during the winter and spring months

other authority in a talk delivered in the late

pictured a world scarcity and an increasing

, - pointed out that the 1920 production was
only 75'per cent as large as the crop of 1919.
His inference was that wheat would continue
at a good price. Both of these men were
thorough and sincere, but their advice was
poor because they could not foresee world
conditions of credit and exchange. Even the
Board of Trade in their prices on futures
,failed‘to predict the course of events in
September and October.

There are 105,000,000 bread eaters in the
country each of whom consume between five
and six bushels of wheat every year, or a
total of approximately 600,000,000 bushels.

on everything else. All in all, there would
seem to be little reason for growing either
more or less wheat than in normal years. The
important thing in growing the 1922 wheat
.cropis to produce it at the least possible
cost.
‘ A recent study made by the United States
Department of Agriculture on 284 winter
wheat farms in Missouri, Kansas and Nebras—

ka shows the following items in the cost of'

producing wheat:
Labor (man and horse) 34.4 per cent; .use

slightly, if at all, and these items constitute
less than‘a third of the total acre cost.

The significant fact in this table is
that labor and use of land make up nearly
two-thirds of the acre cost. , , Any increased
efficiency in the use of labor or land will
react tremendously in reducing costs per
bushel, which is the real unit of production.
Lands should produce 100 per cent. If an,
acre having a producing power of 30 bushels
is producing only 20 bushels, not only is the
land only 66 per cent efficient, but labor is

being wasted on a twenty-bushel crop which

labor could have been expended in. 30 bushels.
Such a condition is identical with that of a
manufacturer with a plant running at tWo-
thirds capacity. His production costs are
higher because he has the same overhead, the
same taxes and investment. Just as. a manu-
facturer measures his cost per unit instead of
per square foot of factory Space, the farmer
should think in terms of‘cost per bushel in-
stead of cost per,acre. ‘ Cost per bushel in-
volves the factor of yield, which corresponds
to “capacity” in the factory.
Getting a Greater Yield

'An increasein yield can often be obtained
by only a small increase in the ‘acre cost.
For instance, it may cost only a fe'iilr cents
per acre to treat the seed for smut, and yet
the" yield may be increased several bushels
per acre.
wheat at an extra cost of perhaps one dollar

an acre may produce an increase worth five '

dollars an acre.

' One of’the most profitable ‘lways of in-'

creasing the yield is by the use of fertilizer.
Many ’of the best farmers in Michigan would
not thinkl of seeding wheat without fertilizer,
because they know that fertilizer pays hand-
some profits.- The various experiment sta-
tions have secured increases of f 60 to 150
bushels of wheat fora ton of fertilizer, and an
extra yield of clover the following year of
from two' to five tons. The plover hay will
nearly always pay for the fertilizer making
the extra Wheat a clear profit.

the grain tnnde journals has kept up a steady
fire of r1diculc and abuse ever since.

One of the favorite objects of attack are
the provisions of the constitution and by— laws
1. of the grain growers which make the growers
wholly responsible for the risks and the ex-
pense involved in doing business. And a few
unthinking farmers may be misled by the ab—
surd intimation of the grain trade journals
that the officers of the organization should
bear the risk and the expense.

As an example of the silly thrusts directed
at this new farmers’ marketing organization,
let us refer to a. recent iskue of the Rosen-
baum Review: The editor copies verbatim
from the minutes of the joint meeting of the
Information Committee and Organization
Committee regarding organization work, in
which this statement is made, “the plan be-
ing as much as possible to have farmers for-
nish transportation for organizers and to go
with them” The editor of the Renew re-
marks, “No opportunity should be avoided
to make the farmers pay the bills”.

Certainly, the farmers pay the bills. Who
would pay them if they didn’t? Since time
immemomal the farmers have been pay1~ng
the bills and the profits of those engaged in
the grain trade. Why should they object to
,, paying the bills of their own hired men? There
is no philanthropy about the far’mers new
marketing organization. It. is business,

because they want to give someone a job.

Stick! /

ILL EVERY reader of the Business
Farmer please turn back to page one

and read the little sermon published there

under the heading, “Stick”? Then tuck it
carefully away in your mind and think about
it while you are doing the chores. If you are
down—hearted and discouraged, you will find
a world of comfort in the thoughts which it
portrays.

It is a perfectly natural trait of human
nature for every man and women to feel that
his ‘or‘ her lot is the hardest to bear. Every-
one of us would be glad to change places with
someone e159 if we could. We sometimes for-
get that no life was ever ,, made happier or
easier by ah‘irk‘ing the tasks. burdens and
duties which confronted it. The joy of living
is found in doing. The harder the task the
greater the satisfaction when it is done. No
man can really know the exquisite joy of
achievement util he has come face to face with
hardship and failure, and mastered them by
the sweat of his own brow.

There are millions of people on this old
world today who are stnding upon the abyss
of failure. Certainty has given away to un-
certainty, confidence to doubt, prosperity to
want, and hope to despair. A crisis has

come for the first time in the lives of people ,

of every tuition. he greatest questiOn of the
day is how they are going to meet that crisis.
The whole ocursc of future events hangs in
the balance awaiting their decisions. It will
be a blow to prOgrcss and civilization if in
ther moment of trial these millions quit their
farms. their facto‘ries and their professions
to follow what may appear to be an easier
way. What we most need at the present
moment to bring order out of chaos, and 111—
(lustry out of inaction, is for every last man
of us to forget that our OWn lot is the hardest,
take a new grip on our jobs, and stick!

The County Nurse

IIE RURAL folk are not taking kindly
to the county nurse idea. They not
only fail to see how~the results can justlfy

the expensebut look upon the work of the ,

nurse as an‘unwarantcd interference in_m'a.t-_
tors which they consider peculiarly personal
and private.

There has always been a difference of cpl-.11-
ion as to how far the state should go in in-
specting the health of its citizens and aiding
them by expert advice and even financial as-
sistance to rid themselves of of mmd
and body. The policy Was f fully brought
into question in the congress during the dis-
cussion of the maternity-aid bill, when Sen.
Reed of-Missem'i, argued long and eloquently
that the question was an altogether too deli-
cote and personal one for government med-
dhnv. - ,

But there is a broader way of looking at
this. Were each individual sufficient unto
himself and lived absolutely aloof from other
people then he might with reason say that it
was nobody’s business but his own how he
lived. ; But since nearly every individual
comes in contact with every other individual
at certam intervals it is very much to the
interest of every individual to see that every

other individual is clean and free from dis-

me. As a. matter of public safety the state
has sought to regulate the health of its cit-

The President’s Opportunity.
LTHOUGH the United States has refused
to haVe anything to do with the League
of Nations, our president proposes to take the
lead in carrying out one of the principal ob-
jects montidned in the league, namely, the
limitation of all-moments." The difference be-
tween the Leagne plan and the Harding plan ‘
is this: The League provides for participation '
of ALL nations in a. disarmament progrm'
confine his
conference to the representatives of the “ ig
Three”, the United States, Grgat Britain and
Japan.
We rejoice that President Harding has fin-
ally submitted to the urgings of the American

.peOplc and i83ucd a call for this Conference.

At the Same time We feel that a tragic mis-
take, will be made if the representatives of all
nations are not invited to attend. It, is said
that President Wilson failed because he did
not take his people into his confidence. As
surely as the sun sets the disarmament eon.
forence will fail of its purpose unless all the
nations of the world are taken into the con-
ference and mode to feel that their counsel
and cooperation are needed to make .the plm
sanccm' WkatinthunderesthercasoRf
that great nations must go on flouting their
superiority over little nations and -
them out in the. cold when questions of great ,
mter-national import are to be decided!

The President has an _ opportunity before
him which is second only in impmtance to the
world to that which confronted President Wil-
son. It has been the hope of all generations
that armaments might be hunted so that no
nation could rise up over—night and destroy
another. Think who; it means to this nation
and its president to stand in the position of
being able to clothe this age old dream with
reality. It is a responsibility which should
not be held lightly; it is an opportunity preg- '
nant with far-reaching possibilities. Let us,

advertisement appearing in the July 13
iSSLle 0f the Journal of Commerce, over
the signature of the Bureau of Raw Ma-
terials For American Vegetable Oils

and Fats Industries. This is a typical
j foes trade argument «Contradicting it-
self in the different paragraphs. ‘

Paragraph 10 states that American
labor is to be forced to pay artificially
high prices for many necessilties of
literal? which foreign raw materials are
a. necessary part. '

Paragraph» 11 says that gmups of
agriculturists are being encouraged in

. ‘the false hope that they will realize
more than the world level of values for
their products. ,

Paragraph 12 says that the United
States produces a surplus of our prin-
cipal farm grown products, and that it
is axiomatic that no tariff on such ma-

- terials can induce the buyers Of Europe

. to purchaSe this surplus and pay a
penny more than the world level of
values of these products.
4 The signers orirms advertisement are
evidently buyers of foreign vegetable
oils. entering not only into the manu-
facturé of soaps, but also into the man-
ufacture of olcomargarine and food
products that compete with the dairy
products of this country. ,If the stato—
ments in paragraph 12 are corr ct and
the United States producers 0‘ those
farm products must sell their commod—
ities on the basis of foreign values then
why are theSe men so perturbed, why
should they need to import foreign
commodities When they can buy the do-
mestic products at the world level
.prices? .

It. as stated "mparagraph 12, the
United States producers must accept
the world level of values for their sur-
plus products which; of course, means
that they must accept that same price
for their ant-ire production because
there is no way that the domestic con-
sumers can be made to‘rpay more money
for: what they buy than the foreigners
pay for what they buy, then how ‘ can
this term? force the American laborer
to pay artificially high prices? ,

.These people are trying- to carry
mter ombo‘m shoulders; they try to
permwde ,m'kmltursl interests to be-
‘liwe that the tariff will be of. no benefit
for them, and at the same time they try
to make the consumer belim that the
term is going to rubs the costs of the
goods may buy. Both vmtmm, eels-
not be true.- '

‘A protectiVe tariff undoubtedly» can-
not be protective unless it raises the
price or the value of the home product“
The American farmer is too wise not to
know that a duty of 60 a pound on but-
ter will protect him tothat extent from
foreign importations. ' He also knows
that a duty will, not prevent a. decline
in prices if he produces more butter
‘than‘t’he American public will consume.
However, the protection exists as long
as the domestic consumption keeps pace
with the domestic production. On‘the
other hand, even though the domestic
‘productiim may only '06 sufficient for
the domestic consumption the price
would still go down if on top or the do-
mastic production were added a. lot of
foreign goods. andmy theory of the
value of’a protective tariff is that it

, prohibits the dumping on our markets
of a comparatively smelt amount of fer-
eign products, which are just able to
tip the beam and make toe-supply out,

weigh the demand, and thereby: force.

the. domestic producers‘to sell at ruin-
ously' low prices. .

We do not want to pauvperize the ag-
riculturasl industry. The laborers in our
cities need a well paid and contengcd
blass of farmers in order to provide
them with a. market for the goods made
in- the cities by city workmen. It is

COUNTY NURSES 7
WOULD like to say a word in
answer to the question asked a
few weeks ago, “Are Soldiers Ne-

glected?” I am beginning to hear
that they are and if Major Guy M.
Wilson of Flint made that state-
ment, I have no reason to doubt
it ton he is a man in every sense of
the word, but it is hard to believe
the Red Cross will overlook our own

dear boys and spend the money buy-
ing yarn and knitting socks and oth—
er garments to send to other coun—
tries while our own flesh and blood
are suffering. I believe charity
should begin at home always.
Another very foolish way they are
spending money is paying county
nurses. I understand each «one
gets a thousand dollars a year, also
a new car to ride around in and their
gas furnished. It might be a good
thing to have a nurse but the par—
ents should pay the bill. There isn’t
a family in our district but what is
able to pay their own doctor bills
and some have said .when they want—
ed the public to pay their bills they
would draw on the fund we each
pay in our taxes every year. I
don’t think our taxes would be so
great if some of these white-collar-
ed, lead pencil fellows would roll up
their sleeves and sweat a few hon—
est drops. The one great trouble
with the world today is so many
people, both men’ and women, are
trying to live without work so the
ones who will work have a double
load. Some are trying every scheme
to get out of work. I think we
should have, a chance to vote wheth-
er we want the county nurse or not.

Our school teacher invited the W0-
men of the district to visit _ the
school a certain afternoon andwhen
we arrived we met the nurse who
gave a talk and to finish up she
said. the Red Cross had paid the
nurses last year and this but next
year we would be obliged to pay it.
Now we haven’t any children to
send to‘school yet we help educate
other people’s children and it be-
gins to look as if we would be oblig-
ed to help pay their doctbr bills
also help feed them, for while they
are having their hot lunch clubs
they are like some neighbors they
borrow all the time. One day it’s a
'quart of milk, next day onions and
rice and one day it was vanilla to
make ice cream for their one cold
dish';'you know children can study
so much better if they have some-
thing cold at noon so they wanted to

» moonshiners,

make some ice cream. Of .course
people who are in comfortable cir-
cumstances perhaps would’nt mind
this much but to those who are
working hard. and saving, trying to
get shame, all these things count.

I would like to hear the opinion
other people have of the nurses. I
think it is unnecessary to keep them.
Some of the dentists have absolutely
refused to strip children of their
toeth.’ The nurse has taken child-
ren who were sound and they have
been sent back without anything be-
ing done to them. Now I would like
to hear the opinion of others on this
subject. I don’t want to be a kick—
er but these unnecessary things and
luxuries must be stopped or things
will never be any batten—M. C.,
Genesee County, Mich.

No doubt there is a good deal of
tomrmyrot about some of the new—fang—
led notions which are being foisted on
people. and which add materially to the
cost of living. I think no one will ob-
ject however to doing any ing within
reason to ake school life a little more
pleasant and healthful for the children.
True, neither we nor our fathers had
hot lunches and ice cream in school,
but that wasn’t our fault. If we had
it to do ever again we would have them
if we could. By all means let’s have a,
discussion on the county nurse—Editor.

BUGS, BIRDS AND BANKER-S
SEE WHERE a man from Ros-
common County said he is a new
land farmer and hard times and

the banker is picking them at the
12 to 15 per cent rate for interest.

. He is lucky if he gets off that easy.

We here are nearly all new land
farmers too, and have to fight crows,
blackbirds, potato bugs and bankers
from $12 to 30 per cent. A small
loan is quite expensive that runs
on the 25 or more per cent rate and
they know you have to have it and
are not able to get it any other
place so they soak you all they can.
They violate the law but What is a
poor, pine stump farmer going to
do about it? c 1‘

Should a man'make a little moon-
shine for himself to have a. hard
drink after chasing crows, black-
birds and bugging potatoes along
comes one of those state food and
drug men and takes a sample of it
and you too, but he forgets about the
banker who charges high interest.
I am not writing this in favor of
or any one, far from
it, only which one is the worst of the
two'I should like to know. They
both are not a very desirable citizen
to my way of thinking. We have
our hands full to pay taxes, raising
sugar beets at $6 per ton, 25 cents
for oats, potatoes (you are lucky if
you can sell them) veal calves (they
hate to see them, you have to eat
them yourself or give to the dogs),
cream and milk is just as had. A
farmer gets it coming and going.

I should like to see the state rural
credit system in Michigan as they
have it in So. Dakota, as the farm
loan of St. Paul does no one any
harm nor good. You need help
when you goto the bank or else you-
would not go there, so if you want
money from the government you can

THE ANGLER’S LA‘V

LLOW ME to express my senti~
ments in your columns of
“What the Neighbors Say,” in
regards to some of the laws that
have been pass-ed by our legislature
this year. One in particular which
I call a fool law is the angler’s law
compelling a person to buy a license
to catch fish. Why do they show
such discrimination to the different
individuals and taxpayers. I sup-
posed we maintained a Utility Com—
mission to handle corporation and
stock companies to see there is no
discrimination practiced.

The law as I understand it, gives
all that own property living on and
adjoining the bank of any stream or
lake'the right to fish without such
license. Let’s stop and consider the
number of people the sporting ones,
I mean, who own property on the
banks of streams and our lakes and
have their cottages and club houses
and that live there more or less dur-
ing‘ the principal part of the sum—
mer season that is exempt under
such a law. And a poor farmer liv-
ing just outside of that limit has to
pay his dollar or not fish even if
he doesn’t go a fishing only once in
the whole year. I wonder who is
the most able to pay for their sport,
if sport it is, the poor farmer or the-
resorters. '

I can tell them one thing: It isn’t
the farmers that are depleting the '
fish in our lakes and streams. al- .
though they have had to pay taxes:
to build and keep up the fish hatch-
cries of the state. Then to depriva-
them of an afternoon or so off for
little recreation amd paying is. If-
cense for that privilege I say its' a-
fool law just like the thresher’s ll-
cense law, though that doesn’t cost
him his fee but it costs him a lot of
his time and inconvenience of which
he gets nothingfor. I think we
could pick men out of our‘ penal in-
stitutions that oculd show better
brains than some of the men we
send to make our laws. I know of
'a member in my territory that has
been making money from dollar
wheat and our 25 cent potatoes and
$1.50 beans and a lot of other stuff
the farmer has had to sacrifice as
much again to raise them working
his wife and family about 16 hours
a day. Oh, yes, I see them every
few days out on their pleasure trips,
riding in their limousines, but they
are not passing many dollars out to
the farmers, Not but what their
business is legitimate but I do say
they get a lot of pleasure along
with their business.

This is a government for the peo-
ple and by the people we are taught
but the comparison looks mighty
small sometimes. If some of our ‘

’ laws were put up to the people to

vote on it would save the state a
good many hundred of dollars in
the time they take up at Lansing
in trying to pass them. Much could 32'
be said along that line but I’ll-mot

weary you any longer. I had under ’
stood by what I had seen in our daily

that that law didn't pass and any

recently my attention was amass

to it in our local paper. '1 5mm

FROM MISSOURI

T OUR LAST meeting of our

A Farmers' Union local we talked

on the hard surfaced roads and
the immigration problems. The 'fin-
ish was so very unsatisfactbry that
I asked to have them rehashed at
our next.

They then made fun of me and re-
minded me that even our congress
doesn’t know what to do about im-
migration so how could we. I then
spunked up and told them that one

, speaker made three mistakes in in—

terpreting our road law, and they
agreed to warm the hash over at our
next. Now; either tell me soon, or
tell me who will tell me where I
can get statistics showing the per-
cent of insanity here and in the old
countries. I want to show them
where we are bound for. I know we
spend more on our insane than is
spent on our colleges. I have a
notion that our boasted civilization
is wrecking us. Is it not true that
two—thirds of our elderly people are
imbeciles and that their descendants

SINNER CAN NEVER BE AS PURE
AGAIN
WANTED to say just _a, few words
concerning the little poem print-
‘ ed in our department last week.
That little bit of verse has frOm
childhood touched and stirred my
very heart. I do most sincerely

 

 

Sunrise

HE DIM light to the sou'ward

T Is the beacon of the coast. _

But the White light to the lee-
ward

The mariner loves most.

And whether ’tis the dim light

Or the white light to the lee,

That great big hunk of daylight
Is the light of lights for me.
But what it is of all lights
That fills my soul with glee,
Is when that hunk of daylight
Climbs up out of the sea.

, ——Ben King.

 

 

do not revere them, but lie awake
nights scheming to escape caring
for them?

While in the old countries elder—
ly people grow old gracefully and
sit in the chimney corner peacefully
and contentedly while their children
respect them and see that they have
proper care.

One young mother seemed afraid
her children might marry some of
the foreign workman's children. The
only foreign settlement that I was
ever in was Jewish and if we would
sort this country over we couldn’t
find a dozen children who -would
compare favorably with those little
Jews with their olive skins, brown
eyes and ringlets and instead of us
worrying lest our children marry
them, it seems to me we might be
glad if they could. Those little
Jews looked so well kept and knew
enough to answer a civil question.
The rank and file of ours do not.

Some of the men told how hard it
is to get along with foreigners who
come here to work. There were
men in the audience who had had
just the opposite experience, but
they did not speak. Help or the op-
position will: smother moi—Mary E.
Osborn, Hopkins, Missouri.

Your.Farmers' Union Local must be
a very interesting organization to be-
long to and I Wish I could attend some

of your meetings and hear your de-
bates. .
Now about immigration, if it ’ could

be headed in the direction of our farm-
ing country we could swallow a whole
lot of it _and it would not disagree with
us or upset us for when people get on-
to the land, a "bit 1-of their own, they
will become pretty good citizens and

that makeS' it possible for them to be-

cities and add thousands to the thous—
ands already there, of the unemployed, -

they denationalize our cities and be-
come 1‘a restless. dangerous element, fit
hot—beds for sedition and anarchy.

I believe in America for Americans
only and that means all who ”want to
and will become good Americans“ ‘We

agree with the writer that the bird
with a broken pinion never soars as
high again, and I too believe it is
the same with the one that sins. He
or she can never be as .pure and in-
nocent again. The one that ,. has
never fallen into sin, remember, has
also beentempted and tried. And
to him who overcometh,‘ Go‘d giveth
a crown. Repentance is required of
the sinner and rejoicing over his re-
turn to the fold. But I can not be-
lieve that the one that has wilfully
sinned against God will‘receive‘ the
same power and glory in the world
to come as the one who has always
been the faithful soldier. Not'de-
nying but the repentant, one may
lead a good and virtuous life ever

after and do much good and he will

struggle not in vain. But the Jife
that sin had stricken never soared
as high again—Violet Fields, An-

CORRESPONDENT’S _ COLUMN I.
ISS N., Holton, Mich.-—11t seems to
me that the trouble ‘with “your
bread is in the baking. Try the

following method and. see if it makes
any difference. 1

Put your bread in alhot oven and
keep the oven hot until the bread colors
a light creamy brown, (not a dark
brown), then reduce. the heat until'com-
fortable to the hand and bake 40 min-
utes longer. Any 10a; except a very
small one .needs 60 minutes to be well
baked. Then as I like a crusty loaf,
I take it- out of the tin’ immediately and
let it steam off. Are you sure your
flour is perfectly dry? If this does not
help, discard your old recipe and try one
published in our recipe column. It is a
good plan to make a change occasion-

' ally. Be sure to let me know What suc-

cess you have

.Dear Uncle Ned:——-A few issues ago
you spoke of me writing as I was a.
good writer of interesting letters so I
am going. to fulfill your wish, but I
think there are a great many of our
cousinswho write, ever so much better
than I do. .I see that some like the
New York girl's idea and some do not.
As for me I must say it is very inter-
esting to hear of some trip,’ school pic-
nic, birthday party or a flowering trip in
the woods. But on the other hand I
enjoy very much reading of the pets
and their names, also the names and
ages of the brothers and sisters of the
writers; to come rfght down'to the real
truth I enjov every letter in our page
no matter what it is about. I was very
sad for a long time last spring Uncle
Ned, as my dear papa was very sick
and was .operated on for appendicitis.
He was in the hospital nine weeks.
stayed with my auntie in Midland dur-
Papa is better now but
can not do any work yd. I had such
a lot of letters, Easter cards, valentines
and birthday presents when I got home.
I answered all I could but I do not be-
lieve I can write to 'so many. this sum-

remember them for their letters provid—
ed m‘uch comfort for me. I want to tell
you now about the surprise birthday
party my auntie had for me while I
was with her. She told me we would
go up town that afternoon so I got all
ready and we were about to start when
four little girlscame. Pretty soon four
more came, then four more and then I
tumbled: it was a surprise party. We
played all sorts of games and had lots
of music Then came the time we all
enjoyed—dinner. We had place cards

dinner we drew numbers, the one get-

made me a lovely birthday cake with

much, That was my first surprise
party and it is one I will never forget.

It was ordered that eight of the
directors should be elected by mem-
ber elevators and that one should
be appointed by the state farm bur-
can, all to serve-.for two years, ex-
cept four to be elected in 1921 for
one year each.

Directors were elected at
meeting. They .organized by re-
electing James Nicol of South Hav-

evator Exohange Carl Martin of
Goldwater was re- -elected secretary
and W. E. Phillips of Decatur was
elected vice-president. Directors

board may impose on the committee.

It was ordered that the executive

similar resolution, charging that the
amendment is an attempt to put
cooperative marketing organizations
out of business by Withholding from
them legitimate market information.

Another resolution to Michigan
congressmen asked for a high ‘tarifl

ers from Oriental competition. It
was referred to the board of direct-

Irma: ooernBA‘rIVE BANK

 

 

Large advertisements of the Co- >

operative Bank, 559 West Madison
Street, Chicago, 111., have been ap-
pearing in farm journals. These
[\feature in dispiay lines an offer to
etch Liberty Bonds at par and so-
ileit subscriptions and deposits by
mail. \

The copy is radical in tone, de-
nounc-ing “capitalistic” banks with
’eonsiderable violence and accusing
theme)? robbing depositors and .of
deliberately forcing the deprecia—
tion in Liberty bonds in order to
reap an illegitimate profit thereby.
Other accusations against legitimate
banks and bankingere made Which
_ are calculated to destroy confidence
in their integrity among those who
are only too ready to be influencad
1' by such outbursts. These state—

ments are not only radical in tone,

but obviously false

The Cooperative Bank‘ appears to
be some sort of. Common Law Trust
,as the copy speaks of its “trustees”
a. number whose records are ob-
Scure but who are described as
"among the best men in the coun-
try? The “bank” is ~wholly irre-
sponsible. ‘ ‘

Preliminary investigation
cates that the use of ,‘th-e term
“bank” in the title :of.this company
is a violation of the Illinois Law.
The address given is liaise as there
is no such establishment at that
pla-ce. Pictures in the copy show-
ing imposing banking rooms are
takes as the "bank” has no actual
existence. The matter has,
course, been referred to the author—
ities for aetion

We are intorrned by the Nation—
al VigilanceCommittee, that this
’ ‘..‘bank” is an activity of a certain
. Reverend, Crane, whose reputation
is not of the best and that his
“bank" is in bankruptcy. Mail ad—
dressed to the address given in the
advertisements is being delivered a;
his residence and charges will be
filed against him for receiving de-

‘gposits after being declared banky

Wh e the United States has sut-
feral very little from- drought _ in'
comparison to France and England,
nevertheless the crops are begin-
ning to show effects of dry weather,
and the reports to the Department
of Agriculture are none too en-
couraging. The results of the gen-
eral crop Summary for the week
ending July 16th is given on a fol-

_ lowing page.

The results or the drought in this
country is reflected in .shriveled
wheat, premature ripening of oats,
low conditionof potatoes, and dried
up pastures. With the promise of
yields far below the average from

-an acreage five to ten per cent less

than last years, the total produc-
tion of all crops with the possible
exception of wheat is going to fall
considerably below last year’s pro-
duchon.

The government’s summary for
July 1st bears out this statement.
Less barley, rye, beans, sugar beets
and spring wheat was planted this
year than last. A million more
acres was planted to cats but the
total yield will be less than the 1920
yield by 200 million bushels. There,
was a slight increase in the acreage
of corn, but the total yieldwill .be
less by one hundred Imillion by
els. A-million more acres were
planted to fall wheat in 1920 than
in 1919, but the estimated produc—
tion for the current year is less by
4 million bushels than last year’s.
The principal fruits alo show a
great falling off thisyear, \the com-
mercial apple crop being estimated
at. 17 million barrels. as against 36
million barrels in 1920.

Potatoes Suffer Heavily

The potato producer who will
have any spuds to sell this fall, may
take some comfort in the thought
that there will be no over—produc-
tion this year Although the 1921
acreage was slightly largerdhan the
192.0 one, the drought. heat and
blight have raised havoc with the
crop in nearly every state so that
the July lst condition indicates a
total production not to exceed 377
million bushels as against 420 mil-
lions last year It is our prediction
that this estimate can be cut ma-
teria‘lly‘ and still be liberal. , In

.some parts of nearly every ”import-

ant potato growing state, potatoes
are a complete failure,rand no sec-
tion reports a condition which gives
promise of bumper crops

The bean growers may also re;
joice Beans generally are in fair
condition, but the acreage was so
reduced this year that a yield of less
than 9 million bushels is‘ estimated
compared with an average of bet-
ter than 12 million bushels for the
past five years.

fARufi-gnuai Pnoenussm’? ,
_, HEN WE see Some of the. things
that . are bein’; done by our
wonderful man and women——
the great .thingsthat have . been
accomplished in the'last 50 years
an' the changes that are constantly
being made, we pat ourselves on the

back. an’ speak‘right out in a loud"

voice an’ «proclaim that we are V a
great and wonderful nation—a na-

tion that can’t be beat.this side of

the, next world an’ mebbe beyond
An’ we are a wonderful
nation in many ways an' sometimes
we have just reason to be proud that
this is our country—an' we are
proud—an’ then again’ we ain’t——
’cause something happens to make
us think we’re progressin’ backwards
an' in some ways I’m think‘in’ We
ar‘e—*—quit,e rapidly too.

Take fer instance the thing that
happened July 2nd down at Jersey
City—the great prize fight you
know, when one trained brute bully
knocked the livin’_ daylights put of
another trained brute bully 2111’

~ where more’n 90 thousand people,

many of ’em women, looked on an'
applauded, paid enormous prices fer

Téhe privilege of see-in’ two men go

Mo 3. roped arena an’ knock the
stuffin’ out of each other to see who
could stand the most punishment
an’ who could hit the hardest blows.
In that disgraceful performance
nothin’ that will ever better human-
ity was accomplished. The life of
no man nor woman was made better
nor easier, no orphan boy or girl
was given a home nor means for an

education on account of it; the.

mortgage was lifted on no woman’s
home because of that brutal fight;
no unfortunate girl or woman was.
shown a better way to live, no un—
employed man or woman was given
a. job, no church or religious organ-
ization was helped, taxes were. not
lowered, the high cost of livin’ was
not changed—God was not honor-
ed nor man benefited an’ yet near-
ly a million an’ a half of dollars was
spent by people tosee a thing that
lasted. jest about eleven minutes.

Avn’ the men an’ women. who
spent money so freely—most of ’em
at least, would holler the longest an’
lo'udest about income taxes or ,if
they were asked for a little money
for charity or to help their fellow'
men. _

An’ what is the excuse for such
a performance as that anyway?
Those men were, not—or not sup-
posed to be enemies—they ‘wese

friends—supposed to be men crest: .

ed in the image of Him who made
the universe "an’ all that’s in it. How
faraway from bein’ a true likeness
of_the Maker, I leave to you, dear
readers, but I’d say they wuz a
poor imitation, wouldn’t you?

lhck in the stone age, when I wuz
younger’n I am now an’ mebbe you
wuz too, fightim’wuz natural—it
wuz common an’ lawful, ’cauee men,
cave men tnen you Know, had to

fight for their lives—for the lives'

of their families an’ fer their
homes. All the law they knew was

" the law of force—cave bears an’

other cave men were their natural
enemies an’ had'to be conquered——
with them fightin’ was lawful an’
legitimate—there wuz no other way
out.

'But today things are different—
there is no such excuse as that——if
men have a jungrievance ag’ in each
other an’ try to fight it out, they are
n‘abbed by half a dozen policemen
an’ carted off to the celaboose an’
fed on bread 1111' water an’ fined
twenty or thirty dollars an’ mebbe
sent to jail for life. But two men
put in an arena, with thousands.
who havp paid good money to see,
can knock ebch other senseless a.
dozen times—Gan batter each others

features out of all resemblsnce to
' - anything human an’ the

thousands will applaud

I sunN CIflNOI-I BUGS IN LATE"

FALL
Getting rid of grass, weeds, and“

undergrowth about the farm during

.tli9. tall and early winter is one of
the best protective measures the
farmer can use against crop—dam-
aging insects the following year,
says Mr._A. C. Burrill of the Ento-
melogy Department of the University
of Missouri. Weeds, matted grass,
dead vegetation “ and brambles
along fences, roadsides, margins of
fields, banks of little streams or
ditches, especially in irrigated ter-
rltories, are the natural hibernating
and often breeding places of. many
destructive insects. This vegetation
’gives grasshoppers, chinch bugs and
other insects most favorable condi-
-tions’ far reappearance the follow-
ing. spring and summer. Grasshop-
pers lay millions of eggs along the
banks of canals, streams and ditch-
es. ChinchI bugs hibernate in
bunches] of broom sedge, and many
other, destructive pests could not en-
dure the winter were it not for

I these- natural nurseries.

The entomologist therefore rec-9
ommend to farmers that they fall
pI‘on sod lands intended for other
than grass crops another year, and
clear up roadsides, fence margins
and. all waste lands, ditch banks and

, ‘ similar places by burning over, past-

uring’ or in caSe of ,ditch (and river)

'~‘banks,,by‘ plowing or disking in the

tall wherever sheep can not be used
to. like. advantage in destroying
Weeds and their bug homes. This

- will tear up the roots and expose the
eggs of grasshoppers to the exces— -

siv'e moisture and cold of winter and
will also burn up those .insects
which hibernate in the I' ground
Burning vegetation where possible
will destroy many insects.

But if the farmers don’t watch out
they are going to rob themselvesot
this prosperity and pass it on to
those engaged in the grain trade.
Why do farmers go to such extremes
in marketing their crops? Last year
at this ‘time'when the price of Wheat
was nearly double what it is now
the western farmers resolved to hold
their wheat, and grain farmers ev-
erywhere followed suit. The hold-

ing movement would have been a'

success, for not once since has .the
supply of grain greatly exceeded the
demand, but the western farmers
got cold feet within a few months
and let loose of their grain, caus-
ing prices to decline. This year the
situation seems to be exactly re-
versed. In spite of the most posi-
tive evidence of the failure of grain
crops in nearly every country, and
of the huge import needs of Ger—
many, Austria and even Ru'ss'ia,
farmers are rushing their grain to!
the market as fast as they can get
it there. Should there be no let-up
in the movement, we need not be
surprised to see dollar wheat inside
of sixty days. It is to be hoped that
the farmers will come to their sens—
es and market only enough wheat

_ now to meet their immediate finan-

cial needs, holding the balance un-
til the market has become more
stabilized.

Corn is not in good demand, al-
though/ there is very little of the

grain offered for sale. The promise

of another bumper crop of corn is a. -

bearish factor which is likely to keep
prices down until more adverse
weather conditions or until the ar-
rival of the harvest. There is noth-

"ing about the corn deal which prom-x
ises any radical change in present

prices. ’The crop 'will be large, it

” size of stalk and leaf is any indica-

tion, and if theVWeather is such as
to fully ripen the grain. The short

New oats are quoted on the De-
troit market as we go to press at 38
cents‘ per bushel. This is the low-
est oats have reached in over five
years. ‘
mand at around 44 cents for the
best grade. -In order to market in-

telligently the farmer who has oats

to. sell should carefully consider the
condition of the grain in this and

. other countries, and the falling off

of domestic production by more than
200 million bushels. On the other
hand he should bear in mind that
most of the grain is of a very poor
quality not likely to be ingreat de-
mand by Europeans if a better grade
can be purchased elsewhere. '

them, but I am not able to answer
all questions; sometimes I d not
know; sometimes it would requ 9 too
much work. I am very busy but. I
desire to be accomodating.

I gave remarkably correct fore-
casts. a year in advance, of the pres-
ent great drouth in Great Britain and
the northwestern part of; Central
.Europe. Six months ago ,I foretold
another great droath that will be of
great importance to man in all civil-
ized countries. Australia. the East :-
Indies, including the Philippines, the 3
south of China and India ‘will be af-

flicted with a, general drouth, begin— 5‘

ning with October, 1-922, and contin-
uing four or five months. Australia
will suffer most. Greatest damages
to crops will be in southeastern and
northwestern Australia. The time of
that great drouth- covers all of their

will include their wheat crop, which
is a very Important matter to Amer-
ica and Canada. In about two-thirds
of the winter grain sections ogthis
continent winter mm crops Will be
good next year. Fatima of crops
next year in Australia and a shortage
in India, southern China, the Philips
pines and New Zmland, means a big
demand for our 1922 winter-.graln.

I know theeauses of these great
drouths and have not missed them
for years and I haVe’complete faith
in these forecasts, and advices. -I miss
the local temperature forecast some- ,
times, but I do not miss the great

unis. The farmers of this cmfl- ‘

it will be another sixty days at least

worry about the condition of the

market at this time.

 

. RYE

The rye market is inactive.
cent declines. have discouraged the
farmers fro mselliug. They can af-
ford to hold. Germany and Aus-
tria will buy."more rye this season
than in the last four. The total U.
S. crop is estimated at 20 to 50 mil-
lion bushels short of the 1920 crop.
gftgglit market quotes No. 2 rye at

per ewt.

 

‘ POTATOES , ~
The 1921 potato crop ’will fall

short of the previous crop by b ,-V

tween 5'6 and 75 million bushe .
This may not mean $2 potatoes. but
it certainly will not mean 50 cent
potatoes. New potatoes are selling
now at $5.25 to $5.50 per barrel.

.' for the week and the same was true
451 smokers and feeders. Last week’s
. j_j‘receip-ts of cattle, in
_‘ market, varied very little from the

the Chicago
showing of the week before but the
Qualityrdid not average as good;
Very few loads at earn-fed steers
came to hand in Chicago, last week

and buyers were forced to take the

next best thing. Chicago got a lib-
eral trade offering of yearlings, last
week, mostly of the medium kind.
and the trade took them at strong
prices and without haggling. The
top for yearlings, in Chicago, last
week, was $9. 75 and for mature
cattle}. $9. 25 per cwt.

Eastern order buyers are the main
support of the market just new,
fact that very naturally follows
marked improvement in the demand
fer carcass: beef in all eastern cit-
lee. Bells were dull and 50' to 75

~cents lower for the mk,in Chi-

cago and other markets rewind
similar conditions. ' Ghimm‘s av-
erage price for good cattle, last
week, was $8.20, being 10 cents
above the week before. The gem
eral opinion is that all grades of
handy butchers cattle, that have had
grain enough to make them dress
fairly well, will sell higher as the
cool weather of fall approaches and
the consumptive demand for fresh

' meat broadens.

Very little fluctuation was noted
in the sheep and lamb trade, at
Chicago, last week; receipts, while
they were fully liberal for the sea-
son, were nearly 7,000“ head below
the run of the week before when
83,500 came to hand. Recent ar-'
rivals of handy killing sheep and
year-ling wethers have been far be-
low the current needs of the trade
and pnees have been gradually
hardening. Handy native ewes sold
in Chicago last week for $5.25 per
cwt. An active demand for breed-
ing ewes-is reported. at price rang-
ing’ from $5 to “.25, dimending

upon the em guilty at the of-

feringu. .

Last week‘s lamb trade did not
hold up on well as did the market
for mature sheep and the close
showed a loss in price for the Week
of'25 cents per cwt. in the native
division. Western lambs were in
heavy supply all the week, coming‘
mostly from Idaho. Toward the
close of the week, a few Montan-as
came’ to han The top fer native
lamibs in Chicago was $10. 50 in

fl small lots to butchers; the packers’

price was $9. 75. The top for Ida-
hos was $10. 90 with the bulk of the
to
3.10.30. Cull lamps, in the western
division, sold for $7. 50 per cwt: De-
mand for feeding lambs was active
in Chlcago, last week, with prices

The Value of Limestone
in Dollars and Cents

   

 

 

EZW RACTICALLY every progressive farmer todayrealizes the need for limestone. They have read
’ i the Agricultural Department reports—they have heard of the convincing experiments carried

' 5 on by the Agricultural College—they have listened to lectures by institute men and by their
county agentS—all agreeing that limestone is necessary, particularly to Michigan farmers, and

that it will prove the most profitable investment they can make.

 
 

   

    

 

Of course, it is impossible to promise exactly what profit any one farmer will get out of an in-
vestment in limestone. Soil conditions, crops, and methods of handling difier so radically.

In the above lesson, we have, however, attempted to” show in terms of dollars and cents the re-
turn which the average farmer can reasonably expect from an investment in limestone.

Fifty per cent increase in the yield of Winter wheat is not at all unusual following a limestone
application And similar increases are continually being proven in the case of other crops included in
the crop rotation. '

We don't show this lesson as a promise of what you can expect to get. Your profit on a limestone in-

vestment may be more or it may be less. But we do promise you that, with very few exceptions, every Mich-
igan farmer will find that the actual cash profit on the money which he invests in limestone will make its appli-

cation well worth while. -

 

We show this lesson in an attempt to convince every farmer in Michigan that this is a subject of real im-
portance to him—that he cannot aflord to go on another season without knowing the facts regarding lime-

stone and its uses: Tho ‘ .
~- , . zs Book FREE
We want to induce every" Michigan farmer who has not already done so to write for a copy of our free ' " .7

book, “Agricultural Limestone." Over 50,000 copies have already been distributed. And we. have the word ‘ The b00k Will be promptly sent,

mers and county agents as to its real value. postpaid upon return of thlfl'
°1 hundreds of tar cougdn. Or just drop us a post-
car - .

 

Decide now that yOu will go into this’queation of limestone thoroughly—that you will. apply it tor your—
tall planting. Your labor cost, your seed cost and your overhead are fixed. For a comparatively small addi-
tional investment you can vastly increase your returns on this labor and expense. . . Please send copy of AGRI-

, ‘ ' CULTURAL LIMESTONE to . . .
