“ lieve him. This caution is given because cer-
:th speculative interests who
grain prices go lower are trying to lead farm-
m to believe that the export business de-
‘év‘ehoped during the war has been shattered It
(is true that there is a slight decline in the
,3quant1ty exported this year of certain food
products as compared with those of last year,
but these are more than offset by the huge in-
crease an the exports of Wheat and corn. ‘
It IS true that exports of manufactured milk
during the month at June, for instance, were
22 million pounds less than in June of 1920,
but at the same time they were 15 million
pounds more than the exports. of May, 1921
It is also true that twice as much wheat was
_ exported in June of the current year as in
" June, 1920.

It is true that meat exports for June of
I921-Were only 155 million pounds as compar~ 7

ed with 173 million pounds for the same month
last year But it is also true that nearly four-
, toen times as much corn was exported last
June as in the same month a year ago.

; [that total exports for June 1921, exceeded
those for June, 1920. Figured in terms of

vice Association of Minneapolis, which states:

“Wheat is still high in price as compared with
other cereals, but there does not seem to be
much chance that Wheat will move back to its
normal relationship as long as a large exporting
country like Russia is on the importing side of
the column. India also will import instead of
export this year. There is some reason for
thinking that com and rye prices will gain on
wheat. A record» exporting business in corn is
now being done principally to Germany for hu-
man food. It is also logical to believe that Rus-
sianflrelief’ will be carried on largely with corn."

Factors Afiecting Future Prices

‘In discussing the. future outlook for prices
on, grain certain important factors should be
taken into consideration. The only import-
ant bearish’factor which needs to be consid—
ered is the financial depression which seems to
extend from pole to pole. All other factors
are very, very bullish. ‘

lst. Consider Europe’s needs. Two of
the most important exporting countries, In-

to feed their teeming millions.

dia and Russia, must this year import food.
Already

American food is being rushed to the'famine
stricken areas of Russia and. a great deal.
more is demanded. These purchases will be
paid for by American and European relief
organizations. As a final authoritivc word
upon the elfects of the European drought the
following official statement from the Bureau’

of Crop Estimates is published:

“England, Scotland and Ireland have now en~
dured some 80 days of extreme heat which have
Injured crops and entirely destroyed the grass.

“The lack of grass is seriously interfering with.
the dairy and cattle industries. Present indica:
tions are that there will be very little feed for
fat cattle during the coming winter.

“The drought conditions which apply to Eng-
land seem to apply also to the Continent. It ap-
pears that the drought in Russia has added to
the gravity of the situation as Russia will not
only have no wheat to export but will be an im~
porter during the coming year if money can be
found to finance importations The condition
of the southeastern countries is also reported,--
though not officially; Ito be rather poor.

“From the foregoing it is fair to surmise that
there will be a good market here and on the
Continent for American produce during the com,—
lng winter. The present indications are that
England will provide a specially good market
for beef and mutton during the coming Winter.
Unless there is a radical change in climatic con-
dltlon farmers will be forced, in fact they are
now being forced, to place their cattle on the mar-
ket before they are ready. A cattle shortage
may, therefore, possibly develop in England in
the near future." .

2nd. Consider the new tariff bill. The
schedules on farm products seek to make up .
the difference between the cost of production
abroad and in this country. They don’t quite
do it in many cases, but they help in boost-
ing the price of foreign products laid down
on our shores and enhance the price to the
American farmer that much.

3rd. Consider the billion dol-
lar export fund which is soon to

 

 

be authorized by congress. The
purpose of this fund is to pro-
vide capital to those who wish to
engage in the exportationof farm
products. This additional credit
should greatly stimulate the (ex-1
port business as it will enable
American exporters to do business
with European firms on almost
any kind of terms. ,.

4th- Consider the decrease in
stored stocks. On Aug. 1st the
total amount of food commodities,
in cold storage was 1,659 million.»

ago. The aggravataing surplus
of milk products which accumu- ’
lated shmtly after the war is be- 5
ing gradually cleaned up which "
should make for a better demand
for cure anufactures.

5th. Conmder the small pota-
.to crop in prospect, not only in
this country but Europe as well.
Pickle of Chicago, looks upon this
as a. very bullish influence .bea
cause it will materially reduce?
the supply of starchy foods. Last
year the potato crop was so 1111'
that it acted as a bearish influ—g
once upon the grain crops. This
year potatoes are likely to be so
scarce and high that people,~ " -~
be forced to eat more ~

‘ or to the Business Farmer, “that the.
stones which farm papers are publishing
about the damage to crops in the United
States and Europe are unnecessarily exact
and gloomy. ”

newspaper ’s duty to say they are poor.
So it is probably true that the stories
which have been published about the damage

visits disaster upon men to prepare them
nor greater fortunes.
Drought and storm, frost and blight, are
not always the evil things they are pictured.
Often they are blessings in disguise. .

Are Bumper Crops a Forerunner of
Prosperity?

. The financial interests of this country keep
‘ flieir eyes very closely upon the condition of
growing crops. If the acreage is large, the
condition good, and promise given of bumper
crops, they invariably hail the situation as a
forerunner of prosperity. Never having tak-
en the time to analyze the situation closely
they erroneously assume that bumper crops
mean bumper profits I and poor crops no
profits at all. Now that sometimes is the
ease but not often. The rule is that bumper
crops mean low prices, and losses to farmers,
while poor crops mean high prices and profits

' to farmers
There are exceptions to this rule porticu-
larly With respect to crops which are in de-
mand fer ”export If the export demand does
not fluctuate too greatly from year to year,
.fllen our rule as stated above applies. Sur-
plusages of grain mean a financial loss to the
farmer and the country, while a supply some-
what short of or equal to the demand means

high prices and prosperity for everybody.

The rule we have stated is admirably proven
in and year out in the case of potatoes,
firwh hich there is little export demand, and
which must be consumed Within less than a
”after they are produced. If only 350,-
000,000 bushels of potatoes are needed to
teed the people .of the United States, it
stands to reason that a crop of 400 million
bushels is 50 million too much. And exper-
ience has demontsrated time and again that
the 25 or 50 or 100 million bushels of pota
toes in excess of the requirements of the
country absolutely. ruins the market for the

balance. ...

en from official statistics of the Department
of Agriculture. Beginning with the year

What About ,Other Crops?

As stated before the samie rule applies to
other crops but in a somewhat lesSer degree.
Calculations on returns from grain crops the
past six years must take into consideration
the eifect of the war and the export demand
which were really the controlling price fac-
tors. But discounting these efiects we find
our rule working in nearly every case.

much from year to year as the production of

Farmers 0911080 Shlftlng of Tax Burden

F THE American farmer can prevent it
Congress will not shift the burdens of tax-
ation from the rich to the poor. Representa-
tives of the American Farm, Bureau Federa-
tion have announced emphatically that their
organization will vigorouSly oppose such pro-
visions in the pending tax bill which aim to
do this. In presenting their clainis to' Presi-
dent Harding, Whose tentative approval has
been given to the bill as it now stands, the
farmer representatives made" some pointed
references to Mr. Harding’s statement in his
first message to congress that “the country
does not expect and will not approve a shift-
ing of burdens”.
It is claimed that the administration’s tax-
ation program abandons the theory of taxing
a man according to his ability to pay, by pro-

posing to repeal the excess profits tax, lower- ‘

ing of surtaxes and other means. In short,
says the farm bureau, ,“the bill relieves the

most prosperous of the bulk of- their films
and adds to the burden of the less properous 3
It abandons the theory of progressive taxation ‘
VWhich is acknowledged to be correct for a flat-
"tax that will produce less revenue” .

Another striking difference is seen in com
paring the oat crops and returns for the Years
1906 and 1907. The 1906 crop of cats was
_0ver a billion bushels yet it was not worth
within 28 million dollars of what the 1989?
crop 0f only 800 million bushels was Worth"
And the enormous crop of 1915 amounting to-
over a billion and_ a half bushels brought the.
farmer a hundred million dollars less than
the smaller crop of 1916 of 1, 251 million
bushels.

Innumerable other cases could be cited

Farmers themselves know that years of largo
production are years of 10w prices, and that
years when kind dame nature keeps the

play of fruits, grain and vegetables,
to say nothing of the more elabor-
ate displays by state organizations.
In other departments we are assur—

perior to those of former years.
Entertainment Features

Last year’s aerial events proved
of such interest to state fair visitors
that they will again form an import—
ant part of the program this year.
The fair management has closed con-
tracts with several of the most spec-
tacular flyers in the world who Will
thrill and entertain the crowd every
day of the fair. Balloon ascensions
with triple parachute jumps will be
another feature While the display of
fireworks will be magnificent and
quite beyond description. In addi-
tion there will be horse races, auto
races, auto polo, vaudeville, circus stunts, and

other attractions quite too numerous to men-

tion.
Getting Ready for the Crowd

The fair management is planning for an-
other record crowd this year, and because of
the improvement in the roads which makes it
possible for out-of~town folks to drive in- to
the fair in the morning and back home at
night, a large increase is expected in the at-
tendanceof farmers and their families. It
will be possible, this year for farmers living
fifty to seventy-five miles away from the fair
grounds to make the round trip in one day
and give the folks a merry time at Michigan’s
biggest educational exposition. This has been
a discouraging summer, but things are look~
ing better. Farm folks as well as everyone
else may well relieve the strain a little bit by,
knocking off work for a day or two and tak-
ing in the State Fair.

David Friday Accepts PresidenCy of the Michigan Agricultural College

Economic Expert Leaves University of Michigan to Guide Destinies of Farmers ’School

S SUGGESTED some time ago in. these

columns the Boa1d of Agriculture has
appointed David Friday, professor of Econ-
omics at the U. of M., as President of the
Michigan Agricultuial College to succeed
Frank S. Kedzie, resigned. The Board’s
choice meets with the hearty approval of all
concerned, the feeling being general that Mr.
C Friday will make an able and successful pres-
i ident. He will take office January 1st.
" Prof. Friday’s qualifications for his new
position date back to the day of his birth
which fate kindly decreed should be in a
~Miehigan farm home. This farm home was
!near Coloma, where the boy enjoyed the usual
vicissitudes of rural life, attended the village
‘school for sixteen years and the preparatory
school at Benton Harbor for two years.

“At the end of that time”, confides Prof.
Friday, “we found ourselves in the depression
of 18941 and I left school to run my mother’s
farm. It was during these years that I per-
formed the to me memorable feat of selling
corn at nineteen cents a bushel hauling it five
nfiles to deliver it. I continued at the noble
vocation of agriculture until I was twenty-
five years of age, teaching school during the

Winter months to eke out the family income.’

.31 During these more or less hard years Mr. _

7 Friday completed his entrance requirements
1 " for the University and entered that institu-
dim: 1,11 1905 with one year ’s advance standing
" examination. “Incidentally,” he says,

The following year he was engaged by the

Thousands of the more progressive among them decided to do so this year. and they are reaping a handsome

. Many others have not yet made this decision.
rlhey are the type who. must know definitely the profit they can expect before making any investment.

We want to say a word to you farmers of this type. We can’t tell you exactly in dol-
lars and cents your profit from an investment in limestone, as soil conditions. crop

You can, however, find cut for yourself very definitely what profits you can expect
from a limestone investment if you go to the small amout of trouble necessary to get
the results of scores of limestone tests. which have been made by YOUR Agricultural
College, by YOUR County Agents and by other reliable investigators and users in your
locality

You know that prices this year have been so close to production costs that profits have

been small. With labor, seed, and overhead costs fixed, the only way for you to in-
crease your proilts next year is to increase your yield. -

‘Youcanpntitdownasadefinitefactthataverylargepercentage of Michigan landissour and needs limestone.

Abo that. moat without exception, every farmer who has made his first trial investment in Solvay Pulverized
Minutone is eontinning to buy and apply it until all his land is covered. This proves that it pays.

You will find em: hundreds of tarmers are raising clover and alfalfa today on limed land where before they
couldn’t get a catch at all.

You will find that 50% increase in yield is the average result secured by applying Solvay Limestone to wheat
lands. Theaveuage increaseinalfalfa, clover, beans, etc.,isashigh,andusuallyhigher.

‘niese are FACE which you can’t overlook.

We don’t ask you to accept our word for it. We merely ask you as a progressive farmer to find out about limestone

mpare it with tests which have been made under similar conditions, then
figure the percentage of profit which you will get from a limestone investment, and decide for yourself.

. Int u help yet: do this. Askus to send our book on limestone, which gives you the facts—scores of tests and def-

As'to how this will effect the ship—

points out that last year the Michi-
' gun State Farm Bureau shipped
more than 900 cars of wheat and
rye to Baltimore for export. If the
same number of cars are shipped
during the coming season, the rate
reduction of 7 1-2 cents .will mean
the saving of about $30 on every
' cut of wheat and $24 on every car
of rye, or a total of $25,000 an the

evator Exchange. If 500 cars. are

tion of 4 1-2 cents is made effective
it will mean a saving of $8, 000 to

GLEAKERS ADD ELEVATORS
.T A time when business lies dor-

Ass’,n the Gleaner Clearing
House Ass’n are reaching out, build-
,‘ing and taking on more elevators
f constantly.
On July 2nd there was opened for
3 business at- Ber-rien Springs, Ber—
lrlen county, Michigan, 3 new ele-
f vator 36 x 36 with a warehouse in
connection 36 x '48. Equipped elec-
trically, the plant at this point has
a capacity of 100,000 bushels.
Situated as it is in one of the
"best known fruit sections in the
state the management at this point
expects to handle a large propor-
tion of the fruit crop of the locality
consisting of grapes, peaches, ap-
ples and berries. In addition tothe
fruit business this locality is one of
the best wheat producing territor-
ies in that section of the country so
the outlook for the future of this
new plant is bright. Starting out
late as it was this year, already
{eight carloads of the new crop of

wheat have been loaded.

In order that the elevator may
serve the farmers needs in that lo~
cality throughout the year the man-
agement is arranging to carry a
complete line of elevator supplies
such as sugar, feed; in fact any—
thing and everything the farmer
may need. ‘

Five coal sheds are being erected
at this point with a capacity of 15
cars of coal. When entirely com-
pleted the plant at this point will
represent an investment of $20,000
in buildings. One hundred and
twenty-six local farmers are stock-
holders in the elevator. .

In addition to the lumber yards
which the Gleaner Clearing House
Association own and operate at
Saranac, Mchig‘an, Which yards
dinning a $20,000 stock of lumber
”and building supplies, doing a bus-
iness of over $50,000 last year af-
ter the late opening, the stockhold—
ers have asked the Clearing House
to back them in building an elevat-
or with the result that on August
15th their new elevator 40 x 40 with
h capacity of 150,000 bushels was
ready for business.

This plant has 225 farmer stock-
holders and situated as it in a
rich farming country, it represents
fin investment in land, buildings,
and equipment, etc., of $18,000. 'It

senate recently, pointed out how
Senator, Townsend had delayed the
passage of highway legislation for
the purpose of passing the bill that
bears Townsend’s name. He claim-

ed that the Townsend bill is unpop— "

ular “everywhere” "and dubbed it as
“a piece of Federal-Control legisla-
tion which does not embedy a co-
operative scheme between the fed—
eral government and the various
states and municipalities to the 'ex-
tent of the existing law, but it pro-
poses control by the federal govern-
ment of roads across, thru, and in
states for national purposes. “That
feature of the measure," continued
Senator Pittman, “has aroused tre-
mendous opposition in some states
and in some localities and upon the
part of certain Senators and Rep-
resentatives who are opposed to the
growth of that. character of legisla-
tion.”

It is understood that the Dowel]
bill, favored by the American Farm
Bureau Federation because it will
provide more farm-to-market roads,
and the Townsend federal highway
bill will be combined by the Senate
committee and reported soon. Sen-
ator Townsend is expected to try to
retain at least his scheme for a fed-
eral highway. commission Which will
take the administration of the work
away from the Bureau of Roads in
the Department of Agriculture.

HANG ON TO YOUR PEDIGREED
SEED

ARMERS will do well to take a
tip from the seed companies
that are now buying up old oats

of good weight and color for seed
purposes next year, says the state
farm bureau. Unfavorable weather
this year has produced a crop that
is light and the grain itself is light
weight stuff. Seed companies are
proceeding along the lines that old
seed that is in good condition will
be good stuff to have on hand next
spring. Farmers can profit ’by
hanging onto any good last year’s
oats, particularly pedigreed stock,
says the farm bureau.

South Dakota farm bureau mem-
bers are seeking national legislar
tion which will protect purchasers
of alfalfa seed from the inferior for-
eign seeds which are being mixed
with hardy western varieties and
sold as all hardy seed. Last year
America imported 18,268,000 lbs.
of alfalfa seed during the 11 months
ending May 31, 1921, more than
half the estimated alfalfa seed pro-
duction for the entire country_ in a
year. Most of the imported seed is
southern grown and almost sure to
winter kill. Mixed with hardy Am-
erican grown seed it is a menace to

good farming practice. ,.
The Michigan state farm bureau

has about 85 acres of garden wax
beans and sweet corn growing in
various parts of the state, with the
idea of being able to supply farm-
ers next spring with wax beans and
sweet corn that is true to’name and
the best of its kind. The depart-
ment has about 45 acres sown to
three varieties ‘of wax beans and
about 20 acres each of Golden Ban-
tam and Evergreen sweet corn.

ers have gone a step farther in

DAIRYMEN ESCAPE HEAVY FED-
‘ ERAL TAXES

UTTER MADE from neutralized
cream will not be taxed ten
cents a pound, as Drapesed dur-

ing the last days of the retiring ad-
ministration, and fought for months
by the dairy interests of the nation.
The treasury ruling proposing the

tax is now dead, according to ad-
vices from Washington.

The death of the proposed' tax
averts a certain cut in the price

paid to the farmer for butterfat says
Michigan dairymen, who are rejoic-
ing. Such a tax, they declare, would
have penalized the farmer heavily,
as much of the 30, 000, 000 pounds
of butter produced annually in the
state is made from neutralized
cream. It is pointed out too that
butter substitute interests —- could
have capitalized the tax for their
own benefit by declaring butter
made from neutralized cream to be

an adulterated product and taxed

as such.

Another burden which Michigan
dairymen escaped in common with
dairymen of the nation, was a twc
cent stamp tax on all checks, reject-
ed recently by the House Waye and
Means committee as a means of
raising additional funds. Ninety-six
per cent of the Michigan creameries
replying to a questionnaire on such
a tax opposed it, declaring that the
large number of small checks they
write would make such a tax bear
heavily on them. . It was estimated
that such a tax would cost Michigan
creameries $3, 333, 000 annually on
butter transactions alone.

 

TRACTORS IN FALL' PLOWING
ATI-IER observers over the
country report that the month
of June was one of the warm-
est on record. The entire year in—
eluding the winter’months, has been
one of unusually high temperature
with the prospect that the tendency
for excessive heat will continue.

This looks rather ominous for
those who have a great deal of fall
plowing to do and who have only
horses with which to do it. No mat—
ter how enthusiastic a supporter of
the horse he may be, every farmer
will admit that summer fallowing
and fall plowing are horse-killing
jobs. He knows probably from his
own experience and that of his
neighbors that these Jobs often.
mean heavy horse fatalities. .

The sturdiness of the tractbr, its
absolute indifference to temperature
its-resistance to What would be
abuse, by overloading in a case of
horses, and its willingness to work
twenty—four hours a day if neces-
sary, make the tractor the ideal
power for fall plowing—Power

FRESH mm DI CUBES .

N Holland milk is now put up and

sold in solid form, being made

into cubes which are readily
dissolved in tea, coffee or "other
fluids The milk, after removal of
the cream, is reduced by heat to
dryness, then' powdered and mixed
with the cream, the material being
pressed into blocks. These milk , .
cubes have the advantage, of pre- _
serving their freshness for a long.
time. They are recommended ‘ for
use in regions where milk is not
easily to be had, and travelers may
find it convenient to carry a supply
of them.

1m: MOST MODERN AND OOMPi'E‘IE RUBBER FACTORY s AMERICA—THE WILDMAN RUBBER 00.
‘ ' " 1 (Now Under Constriic on) ~

THE RpBBER INDUSTRY

was responsible for the phenomenal growth of In, Ohio, from 69,067 inhabitants in 1910 to 208,435 in 1920, an increase of 202%.
. a The total business of all the Akron rubber companies in 1920 totaled the enormous sum of $544,729,000.
It is claimed that Akron factories produced last year 70 per cent of all the tires made in the United States.
Last year Michigan produced at Beast 70 per cent of all the automobiles made in the United States.
' If all the manufacturersof rubber tires for motor cars in the United States were to operate up to the limit of their facilities twenty-four
U . hours per, day, the" aggregate production per year would be in the vicinity of 37,000,000 tires.
' f Not one fire company that We know of could possibly operate full facilities twenty—four hours a day, therefore the aggregate production,
under the most favorable circumstances, would not and could not be above 25,000,000 tires per year.
' There are now, according to United States statistics, approximately 10,000,000 motor cars in daily use in the United States. At a conseb
‘ntive estimate each of these cars will consume at least two new' tires annually, a total of 20,000,000 tires.
'The annual and normal production of motor cars in the United States is now about 3,000,000. Each of these cars requires five tires or a
total annually of 15,000,000 tires. ‘- ,
‘ This means a demand of 35,000,000 tires annually, not taking into consideration the constant increase in the volume of cars in use and in
annual production of motorcars.
Therefore it is certain that the making of rubber tires is and will continue to be,a profitable industry.

' j ‘ Why Shouldn’t Michigan Supply the Tires? The Wfldman Rubber Company is No Experiment

If the school meeting was held at ’

by the chairman was legal andr‘pror.

or. If the meeting desired tellers,
some one should move for the ap-

’be relieved from duty; but if the

meeting fails to have them appoint-
ed the chair must receive and count.

a trespass "for the contractor to put

without his consent and he is liable
for any damage done or costs made

STARTING ROSE BUSHES
Is there any way to start rose bushes
(mecially Ramblers) and other shrubs
bery? If so, how, and what time of the
yuan—«Mrs. F. L. M.. Amadore, Mich

I' would say that layering is the
most convenient method on the
home grounds where but a few
plants are desired. To propagate
new ramblers or other vines by this
method a long shoot of the previous
year’s growth is buried under the
soil at a leaf joint with the tip of
the shoot protruding above the soil.
This shoot will then root durihg the
growing season and may be separ-
ated from the parent plant at the
end of the summer. Shrubbery may
often be propagated in a similar
way athough it is usually easier to
simply divide the clumps into two
or more parts—C. P. Halligan, De—
partment of. Horticulture, M. A. C.

OFFICE
Is it lawful for a man who is not a
citizen and got his first papers out in

First papers do not qualify a
man to hold office of Justice of the
Peace. He must be a citizen—Lo.

DISPOSING OF REAUl‘OR

On May 20th we had our herd of cab-
tle tested by a state veterinarian for
tuberculosis and found one of our herd
was afflicted. He promised to come
back in three weeks and take the cow
and dispose of her for us but has not yet
returned. -'To whom could we write
about this maitter and what can be‘
done about it? The cow is a registered
Shorthorn.—-—E. W., Boyne City, Mich.

It is my belief that you misunder~
stood the veterinarian who conduct»-
ed the test. When a_ test chart is
received at this office, showing “that
a reactor has been found as the
result of the test, the herd owner is
sent a form letter containing in-
structions relative to the handling
and disposition of reacting animals.

instance, we shall be glad to rectify

it, if you will furnish us the date of.

the test and full information.é~B.

Under favorable conditions of
soil fertility, lime content and the
use of winter hardy seed, August
seedings of red clover are some-
times successful, usually- however
they are not to b°.. recommended.
Alsike is more frequently success-
ful than» red. August and Septem—
her: are favorable months for seed-
ing timothy. If you are anxious to
try a fall seeding, would suggest a
mixture of timothy, alsike and red
prepared

mixture of one bushel of rye and
twenty pounds of hairy vetch seed,
saw about the middle of August
and cut for hay when the rye is in

HIS Fricticlm Need
The average farmer, owning a car, classes himself with
the careful driver. He knows he is cautious and alert.
But, like a certain well known Michigan farmer, he also

knows the other fellow has—to be reckoned with and that he
is constantly subjected to liability for injury to persons.

$1,500 Damages '

The farmer referred to had driven cars for years with-
out mishap, until the other day. He was touring, with
his family, through the East, and they were leaving one
town to get to a larger one for the night. It had been
raining all day and the pavements were slippery and trav-
eling generally bad... But, comfortable in their Sedan,
they journeyed on as usual. All went well until they
reached an outskirt street corner. A street car stop ed
at this particular corner, discharging a passenger. ghe

' farmer slammed on the emergency but to no avail, the wet

pavement lproving his Waterloo. The passenger was
thrown and badly injured about the head and limbs. Suit
was later filed and the farmer compelled to pay $1,500
damages. Fortunately, however, his U. S. FIVE POINT

POLICY saved him.

You Never Know Your Luck

Like this farmer, you never know your luck. Perhaps
you too have already fortified yourself and car against the
unexpected. In the event that you haven’t—don’t wait.
Driving is too risky these days. You can POSITIVELY
and ECONOMICALLY protect your car against:

’Pres. Howard on_Runal Credits
ARMERS object to the McFadden
r111 .11 credit bill”, is what Pres. How-
ard of the A. F. B. F., has been telling con-
gress and the press. Believing that the bfarm—
ers do not know enough about this bill to re-
alize what it contains, let alone having an
opinion as to its merits the Business Farmer
asked Mr. Howard upon what grounds he
based such a positive statement. Mr. How-
ard replied that this decision had been arrived

(6

1' at after a careful examination of the bill by

the executive committee of the Farm Bureau.
The purpose of the McFadden bill is to
provide a system of rural credits which will
take into consideration the integrity of the
borrower in making loans. It 18 not designed
to help the large and prosperous farmer
Whose wants are amply cared for by the
existing banking machinery but to offer a
source of money to the small struggling farmer
whose security may not be of the best but who
is nevertheless strictly honest and will take
care of his obl1gations if given enough time.
The bill authorizes congress to designate some
existing life insurance company to provide
the funds and the machinery to put the bill
into effect.
I, That none of our existing banking and
rural credit systems are designed to take care

of the needs of the small type of farmer is an ,

established fact, and every year thousands of
them quit in despair simply for the want of a
little money to tide them over an unprofitable
season. A committee of farm paper editors,
including the editor of the Business Farmer,
made a study of this bill over a year ago and
unanimously agreed that it filled a long felt
want. While objections were raised to minor
features of the bill it was not felt that these
would ofier an insurmountable obstacle to its
adoption.

But now along comes Pres. Howard, saying,
“Farmers object to the McFadden bill. The
Farm Bureau Federation has given careful
consideration to the question of insuring farm
credit, and the principle was endorsed, but
.. not the McFadden bill.” It will be such a com-
. ' fort to the farmers to know that the Farm
VBurcau has “endorsed the principle” of bet-
. ter farm credits even if that’ s as for as it
- ever gets.

The Railway Agé attempts a defense of the

[railway rates and incidentally throws some,
light on how the consumer ’13 dollar is divided
up between the father, the railways and the -

commission merchant. It says:

“Recently much propaganda has been spread
among the producers of vegetables in Texas,
Florida, and other southern states, and also in
California, regarding the present freight rates.
It is time that a few cold-facts regarding these
matters should be told.

producer for cabbage in Texas was $7.00 per ton.

The cost of transporting it to Chicago was $26.30 1

per ton. This includes not only the freight rate,
but also the cost of icing the refrigerator car and
the federal tax on freight charges. The total

amount that the producer received for produc-‘

ing it, and that the railroad received for hauling
it about 1,300 miles, was 1.67 cents a pound, or
$33.30 a ton. On the same date cabbage retail-
ed in Chicago for ~7 cents a pound, or $140.00
a ton, or $106. 70 per ton more than the total
amount that the producer received for produc-
ing it, and that the railroad received for bring—
ing it to Chicago. .

“0n the same date the producer in Texas was
paid $5.00 a ton for spinach. The cost of trans-
portation to Chicago was $30.36 per ton, making
a total of $35.36 per ton, or 1.77 cents a pound,
that the producer and the railroad together re-
ceived. At the same time the retail price of
spinach in Chicago was 15 cents a pound, or
$300.00 per ton, or $264.64 per ton more than
both the producer and the railroad received.

“It has long been known that the commission
merchants dealing in fruits and vegetables have
been among the most remorseless profiteers in
this country. A Congressional investigation of
the railroad situatidn is soon ,-to be held. In
view of. the fact that these commission people
are showing such earnest interest in the subject
of freight rates, we suggest to the Congression-
al Committee the propriety and expediency of as-
certaining not only the 'efiect of the present
freight rates upon the movement of perishable
commodities, but also the effect upon the wel-
fare of both the producer and the consumer of
the exorbitant toll taken from them by the com-
mission merchant and the retail dealer, especial-
ly the former.”

Thus, you see while the railroads only

charge from four to seven times as much for.

hauhng food products to market as the farm-
cr receives for growing them, the wicked
commission merchant gets twenty to sixty
times as much. Who can blame the railroads
for complaining?

, A Farm Bureau Fails _
HE ALPENA County Farm Bpreau has

“gone to the wall.” Assets, sixteen.
thousand dollars; liabilities, twenty—six thous~
and. “A case of poor management,” was the
coroner’s verdict.

This failure will be hailed by Some as seem-
ing to prove their contention that “farmers
don’t know enough to market their 0Wn pro-
ducts.” If the thought gives them any pleas-
ure let ’em chuckle. But so far as proving
anything except that the last year has been a
hard one for even a good manager to buckle
up against, and that poOr management no mat-
ter how cheap never, never pays, the failure
has no significance whatever.

The present calendar year is a year of fail-
ures. Thousands of commercial firms have
gone into bankruptcy since the beginning of
the year, leaving unpaid debts of millions of
dollars Among them were scores, at least, of
commission merchants and grain dealers, and
so far as we know, —-.one lone farm bureziui

, - , necemary in earlier years to take the packers --
“On April 16 the average price paid to the,

found it necessary to regulate the industry in .
the producers’ interest. The Houg'en bill .
which has passed congress and only awaits tip“,

gives the Secretary of Agriculture certain, ‘
broad powers over the packers,

in the Stockyards. Briefly the law prohibits if '1
the following practices and authorizes the__ . 2??

Secretary of Agriculture to prosecute viola-
tions: '

“(9.) engaging in or using unfair or deceptive
practices or devices in interstate or foreign com-
merce; (b) giving undue or unreasonable pref-e

erence or advantages in such commerce; (c) buy-

specified in the schedule. Rebates and refunds
are prohibited, exciept that in the case of co-oper-~

It should not be thought that this bill”
meets with "the approval of all. The A. F.
B F. looks upon its adoption in a rather phil—
osophical light and Pres. Howard states that :-
1t is acceptable at this time, though not all the
Farm Bureau asks 'for. Mr. Howard pleads“
for harmony between producer and packer.
“Let by- -gones be by- genes”, he says, “The ,
act makes possible a new era of good- will be-
tween producer, packer and consumer.” ‘ ' '

But the National Board of Farm organiza-
tions and others do not view the bill in any
such light Indeed, all of the farm organiza-
tions represented at Washington, with the ex-
ception of 0116, joined with representatives of
the women’s and labor organizations. in o’
mighty protest against the adoption of the
amended bill, but without avail. In a. state—

‘ M. C.,fof, Genesee county said in
a recent issue that they believed

, charity? should begin at home. My

publishers, of newspapers and mag--

friend; that is” Why we have the

county-nurses to properly "care for
the sickT-and collect clothing for the

l'desti‘tute in our own county. There

are-"many children in our public
schools who are dullards because of
some defect; perha'ps‘the teacher
has spoken to the parents and they
are either indifferent, hr feel they
can not bear‘the” expense of medical
or surgical attention. These unfor-
tunates are often a menace to
themselves and to society because
help was not forthcoming before
the results handicapped their whole

' lives.

‘ Frbm a financial standpoint,‘ to
support the county nurses is econ-
omy. This may sound strange to
those not acquainted with the situ-
ation. Suppose the father or moth-
er of a large family has ‘a long
siege of sickness. If it is the wife,
the husband will be required to eith-

~ er leaVe his work to care for her, or

1 through

‘as it applies to

trust her to the, care of busy neigh-
bors, who mean‘well, but often err
ignorance. If it happens
to be the husband who is ii], there
is the fact that the means of sup-
port is cut off for the entire family.
besides the expense of sickness. It
is'true that neighbors used to go in
and 'care for the sick, never think~
ing of skilled help. But all condi-
tions of living are Changed since old
Dobbin carried Doc around. It will
never be known how many people
died in those days because of ne-
glect or ignorance. Attention from
a trained unrse often does more
than the attending physician can do.
We will suppose this family can not
afford to pay $7 per day for a
nurse from the hospital, even if life
itself was sacrificed. In this coun-
ty at least, there are thousands of
such homes.

Which is the better way, to hire
a trained nurse from the hospital
at township expense, or pay a very
small per cent to support a county
nurse who gives her entire time car-

" ing" for the needy, b‘y 'taiationfiaaso,

is it not economy to start children

out into the world with their teeth,

eyes, throats and general condition
in health? They will be better able
to support themselves and "their
families as they grow to maturity.

Many of us are suffering today from

poisons thrown into the sYstem from
decayed teeth, decayed tonsils or
adenoids, which should have-been
attended to in childhood; but there

were no free clinics in our day.

It may seem to some that the
nurse has a glorious time as she
rides over all kinds of roads, get-
ting into mud holes in the early
spring, and simply waiting until a
helping hand or a stout pair of
horses happen along to get her start—
ed on her way again. Then hurry-
ing from house to house in village
or country, wherever the physicians
of the district where she is employ—
ed may direct, or where her servic—

‘es are required, in hovel or mansion,

there she may be found. I have
seen the nurse in our district so
worn from travel, she could scarce—
ly wait for a few hours rest.

If a great many pebple who have
no children to educate, had a
chance to vote for the county nurse,
and in fact for a lot of things, I am
afraid the kiddies and grown—ups
too, would not fare very well some—
times. I believe sincerly in econ-
omy in the home and in national of—
fairs. It is my earnest conviction
that the county nurses are not un-
necessary expenses. Let us be will-
ing to help the other fellow with his
load. Is not the ,memory of what
our soldiers did for France a pleas-
ant one? Shall we not “carry on”
what they so generously died for, or
as disabled and crippled, keep ever
before us as long as life shall last,
thekreason why they fought in the
last great war? “Service for oth-
ers” should be our battle cry ’as it
was theirs—C. L. S., Kent County,
Michigan.

The evidence multiplies that the coun-
ty nurse is a good investment. Really,
I (lid not know that the county nurse
had so many friends in Michigan, but
I am glad she has—Editor;

THE BUSINESS ENGINE

USINESS.men extol the law of
supply and demand, but they
want the law suspended so far
their particular,
business. The farmer is howling
for lower priced labor, but wants a
fixed minimum price for his wheat
and com; the railroads are working
for lower prices for rails, and yet
want to keep the cost of transporta—
tion fixed; the labor leaders are
clamoring for a reduction in the
cost of living and at the same time
are fighting all wage reductions.
As a result, business is like the
donkey, midway between the hay-
stack and the bag of cats, who was
so undecided as to which to eat that

he‘ stood still and starved to death.

Take the railroads, for instance.
Perhaps they would be better off
with lower rates; perhaps they would
be better off with higher rates. But
surely, if I owned all the railroads
ef'thecount‘ry, I Would not continue

I to play the part of the donkey while

.mOre than four hundred thousand

freight cars were idle.‘ I would
either raise or lower rates—or do
bathe-to 'see— if something could be
done to induce prosperity to ,re—
turn. ‘ ‘This—mbnsiness _ of arguing

about ratesrle a trial" is . a

it with gasoline. Now we are about
ready to start up again. But when
the car stopped we were in high
gear and we have not yet shifted.
In starting the car again, it is ad-
visable to attempt to start on high
gear, or is it better to put the our
first into low gear? Surely, the
sensible way is to start low, move
to second, and then into high. At-
tempting to start on high will in-
evitably stall the engine.

Yet we are trying to start busi-
ness on “high,” just where it stop—
ped. The railroads want to get bus—
iness back at the old high rates, or
have no business at all; labor pre-
fers to be idle for months rather
than have wages out; while retail-
ers are holding up prices “until bus-
iness revives.” The result is that
all business is. at a standstill.

Unless something radical is done
it will be two or three years before
we again have prosperity. With
railroad rates up, wages up, and ev—
erything else up, it is impossible to

.start automobile prosperity without

stalling the engine. If, however,
the, railroads would reduce rates,
wage Workers would reduce wages,
and retailers reduce prices until the
four hundred thousand idle cars
were filled and moving, them we
could get started. Then the rail-

.jroads could gradually put back their

rates, the wage workers put back

’.their_ wages, and so on along «the

architecture as even the
‘ ight have been proud of. The in-
terior is no less imposing, with large
'ooms lined with books and well
fitted with chairs and tables for
reading, which were
.,.cry well filled on the afternoon I
eves there. One room is given up
‘ books of fiction; another-to music,
one to technical works, one to art
, and the drama and so on.
r The building is admitted to be
the finest public library in the Unit-
, ed States not even excepting the
_. Boston library which has held first
place. It was completed only thru
"the generosity of Mr'. Carnegie, as
.- long before the building was finish-
, ed the public funds had given out.
A few striking sayings are found
upon the walls of the distributing
room on the second floor.
Cass Gilbert, the architect, which
runs thus, “Books are the most en-
during monument of man’s achieve-
ments, through them civilization
, becomes cumulative."
One by Mr. Strohm, chief librari-
_ an: “To promote self- development
by ample facilities for wide reading
in an atmosphere of freedom and
morality." And the one which I
liked best of all by Thomas Carlyle,
“Read not to contradict and con-
fute, nor to believe and take for
granted, but to weigh and consider.”
If it is true that every fine piece
of architecture expresses some idea,
then I would say that this building
is expressive of peace and quiet dig-
nity and stands as a refuge and a
haven for, the mind confused and
harrassed by life’s perplexities say-
ing, “Here is knowledge and knowl-
edge is power." .

“SPOTLIGHT” OFFICIAL ORGAN
OF MISSOURI L. W. V.

HE MISSOURI League of Women

Voters is to resume publication

of “The Spotlight," a bulletin

which during the legislative session
last spring, not only gave League
'news, but was used to unite the we-
manhood of the state in a definite
legislative campaign. The meas-
ures comprising the program of the
Missouri Woman's Legislative Com—
mittee: were fully explained in the
Spotlight, and each week a resume
of the Legislature's work and the
status of ’the bills in which women
were particularly interested was
printed.

The Spotlight is to be published
fortnightly by the Missouri League
of Women Voters as its official or-
gan, and will print national, state,
and city League news.
find in it the news items you need
to keep yourself informed, the in-
spiration to keep your energies fir-

is to be national in scope, yet will
carry the neighborly sort of news
we need to keep in touch with what
is happening in our own midst.”

The Spotlight is one of many
printed "official organs" which the
growing needs of the state Leagues
have made necessary.

AN ANGLO-AMERICAN SONG

T IS QUITE a remarkable fact in
these days, when we are all hop-
ing for 'a still closer». friendship

between the United States and
Britain, that the na ional anthem
of the States “My untry, ’Tis of
Thee,” is sung to the same tune as
“God Save Our Gracious King.”

But, although this is a fact, it
has not the significance of the ori-
gin 0’: that song which reaches the
heart of every English-speaking
man and woman, ,1 "Home, Sweet
Home."

The miraculous thing is that it

The Prize
By Sarah R. Bolton

PRIZE WAS oflred for noblest deed,
No matter the station or race or creed,

One came who was stately and rich and great:
“I have given my miIHOns to church and state,”
And one, who had written with brilliant pen,
And thoughts are mighty to uplift men.
Another was lovely and sweet and fair
With her laughing eyes and her golden hair.
“I brighten my home and my circle wide."
And beauty and grace are the nation’s pride.

NE CAME who wastagged, whose feet were bare
A girl of the slums, with a timid air.

“But every night when I go to bed,
A part of my crust I put outside
For a hungry dog or cat that cried,

The prize is won by the outcast child,

with three groups of interested wo-
men. After finding that the price
quoted on commercial dress forms
was $2. 75, it was agreed to discon-
tinue their use and substitute the
gummed paper form, at a cost of $1
to each maker. Eight forms were
finished at Grand Mound, 14 women
were enrolled at the Spurgeon Creek
community fair, and the same plan
was presented at the
fair, with an enrollment of 12.

In Pierce County, Wash. the home
demonstration agent reports 68 pa-
per dress forms made. A commer-
cial device was purchased for moist-
ening the paper, the cost of which
the women propose to meet by pay-

ing 10 cents extra for the first 4.0 ‘

forms. One woman said the fun of
making a form is worth the $_1

costs. The women have been do- ,
ing this work themselves after see- . _

not speak Enxlish {very well,

bathe was so aniline to please, and

acted so sorry when so: could not
j make out what I was saying to him.
- In order to- reach his home we had
to take a. ferry boat and go acréss’
a. bay. That evening the water was

as 'smooth and clear as crystal and
just covered with " little sail-boats..-

Norway is a land of sailors, and
nearly everyone, it seems, owns a
canoe, a gasoline launch or a sail-
boat. In the long summer evenings
and on Sunday most Of the people
go “sailing." It must be lots of
fun, don’t you think? And you Can
imagine that ‘the- hundreds or sail
v'boats skimming along the water
,‘make a very pretty sight.

After reaching the other side of
'the bay we walked a short distance
to my friend's home which was
. perched on top of a little hill and
ji‘alm‘ost hidden by vines and trees
and, what do you think?—the most
beautiful, roses I have ever seen.
Red roses, white roses, pink roses,
roses of every hue and color and
oh, so fragrant! And running
among the rose bushes were straw—
berry vines with berries on them
. almost as big as your fist.

When we reached the house three
little boys came out to meet us. The
oldest could say a.few words in
English because they teach it in
the school, but the others spoke only
in Norwegian. They were all po-
lite. and shook hands with me just
like grown—ups. They were dressed
something like American boys. One
of them had onla sweater that had
: as many colors in it as the rainbow.
You know in the olden times the

people or Norway'dressed in very

funny clothes of bright l'nolorsH but

now most of them dress like Ameri- " .

cans except in the country places far
away from the cities where some of
the native dresses may still be seen.

After dinner the boys showed me
all through the garden, and I took
their pictures standing among the
roses. When I ‘show you the picture
of the little girl from Brazil I will
also show the picture of the little
Norwegian boys. Next week I will
‘tlell you about the little boy from In-
is.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS-

Dear Uncle Ned—I thought I would
write to you about my trip to California.
'My aunt was going to’ California and

day after Christmas. When we readied
Chicago we changed trains. It was
11:30 when we'left Chicago. In a. day
or two We were in the mountains. There
Were a. great many tunnels to go through
and when we come out of mile long tun—
nel we saw a great lake. It was called
Lost Lake because it was on top of a
great mountain. The trees grew around
it.‘ There were canoes on it and some
of the pines bending over were reflected.
in the lake. It was very beautiful. As
we went around the lake there was a
shadow and I asked my aunt what it
was. She said it was a. platform or roof
so when the rocks came loose they would
not damage the tracks. But I told her
that the roof was useless if any of the
boulders tell on it. When we were go-
ing around a bend we saw a bridge. It
was over a small river but was up more
than two thousand feet. This isn't all
of the trip but will write more about it
later as it is a. long story of our trip.

prime beef produced and consumed

in the state, will be on hand, Tuesn
day, September 6"to see this splen- ;
did display of Michigan made cattle ‘
judged and sold. '

Lenawee county will send fnear-
ly- six carioads of show stock to
the State Fair this year; the Boys
and Girls club will show .e. load 0f
Hereford yearlings in the rat class-
6 and a load of Holstein yearlings
in the dairy division. These "kid-
d1es"cut a wide swath at .the Buf-
falo Fat Stock Show last year and
the competition, at Detroit, this
year, will'have to be mighty strong
to keep them out of the'money.

A record exhibit of breeding cat‘-
t'le is assured for this year’s fair,
the Holsteins leading in numbers in
the” dairy division and the Short-
horns in the beef department. Pres-
ent indications uvor asmailer line-
up 011811361) than usual. The hog
show bids fair to be about the same
size as last year, “with the Durocs
somewhat in the lead on the entry
list.

Wildwood Farms, Orion, Mich.,
will be represented at the fair with
an Angus and Guernsey herd; the
get of Edgar of Dalm‘eny is begin-
ning to dominate the Wildwood
Angus herd and they are certainly
a handsome lot of youngsters. There
is grave danger that the “color
line" will be drawn at the fair this
year and if [Sidney Smith, the
Scripps manager, has his way about
it, the black beauties will carry
away the honors of the show in the
beef department.

Jay Lessiter will be in full charge
The
annals of live stock breeding, in
Michigan, reveal the names of very
few men who have been as faithful
to their calling as the Lessiter
Brothers, Frank and Jay. They are
good sportsmen, modest when they
win and mighty game losers; their
splendid .Shorthorn herd has be-
come a fixture at the State Fair and
is familiarly known throughout the
state.

——-—-l-—.
The indomitable Minty, with his
Woodcote herd of ‘blackcoats will
be out after a share of the blue rib-
bons, again this year; the show in
the Angusring promises to be a
battle royal from start to finish. A
judge must have a profound knowl-
edge of beef type to properly class-
ify the splendid young things that
show up in the beef-bred classes at
Detail. ‘

The Prescotts are coming down
from Tawas City this year with s
wonderful showing of the “reds, the
whites and the mans.” With a com-
plete exhibit in the Shot-thorn
breeding classes, three earloads of
fat yearling steers find a carioad of
scrubs for contrast, this firm will

 

 

. furnish an educational exhibit that

is worth going a long way to see.

would attend to the

with Mr. Stanley in his illness, but

Mr. Stanley that the claims would.
be put into the hands of the postpt-

fice authorities, much as we re-

gretted to take such action, if he

did not fill the orders or return the

there was only one thing left to do.
to the
postoffice authorities on the grounds

that Mr. Stanley had used the mails‘

still pending in their hands. Since.

this action was taken, however, Mr

Stanley has returned some of the

money, as evidenced by 'the'followé' ‘

"Thanks for taking up our M I:

my money by return mail Again-1' ,

Ijhisve the Opportunity to vial
countries and discbver the answers
. to those questions by perconal in-
vestigation. When I was elected
delegate to the International Rotary
conv‘ention it was decided that the

1b-opportunlty thus afforded to- secure

7 for the benefit of M. B. F readers
European
co-opera'tion should be taken ,
vantage of despite the unbertaiuty
of the times. -

And so 1 went. During my’ trav-
els I visted such towns and rural
sections as my limited time would
permit in the countries of Scotland,

v

and England. During ‘my seven
weeks’ absence I travelled a total
of nearly ten thousand miles. Three
of these Weeks were spent upon the
water; a fourth in Edinburgh, and
the other three in traveling by rail
or automobile to the principal points
of interest where I might secure the
best information for M. B. F. read-
ers. Everywhere I went I met with
uniform courtesy and hospitality,
which was particularly marked in
Norway and Denmark.

As stated before I saw no rain
from the time I left Michigan un-
til I was on my way home again.
A hundred miles or so off the Grand
Banks of Newfoundland we passed
through a rain storm and three
nights later, we docked at Quebec
during a terrific thunderstorm. All
but perhaps 'a week of my entire
trip it was quite too cold far com-
fort without an overcoat or other
heavy wrap. This is nearly always
true on 'the ocean whether there are
storms or not as the passage of the
boat through the water at a high
rate of speed sets' up air currents
which find their way into ‘ every
nook and crevice of the boat if
doors and port holes arei left open
But during all of my stay in Scot-
land and Norway and most or my
stay in Denmark and Germany, I
found it necessary to wear an over-
coat out of doors. , Remember,
please, that this was during a time
when the United States were swelt-
ering in heat. In England the peo-
ple were complaining a good deal

ature was rarely above 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. As for myself I found
the English climate at that particu»
lar time quite to my liking
comfort.

It is a prevailing opinion in this.
country among people who
never visited Europe that the peo-
ple over there are radicaly differ-
ent in their appearance, beliefs,
habits, aspirations, etc. But it is
not so. Language, ‘as, some great
philosopher has said, and as I have
discovered by experience, ., is the
only great barrier between nations.
In most'of the countries I visited
the people look, dress and act much
like Americans. Certain classes of
the people enjOy virtually the same
comforts and conveniences as, we
do. Thevareconfronted by much
the same problems, domestic, .fin.
ancial, social, political. They‘ have
the same hopes; they meet with the
same failures. So far as I could
see they have the same love for
their childrenrtheir business ethics
are quite as high as ours; and in'
molly cases they shave-Ra far more
settled and h‘armoniouSdhome life
than ’the‘hverage American. . .
V ‘ My time in each country was so
short, unfertun‘ately, that I did not
.have an oppOrtunity to secure an
exhaustive knowledge of the meth-
ods of farming empldyed, but I
pjud'ged that in many of those coun-
tries agriculture was quite as ad-

" asked

or you, or ever will, of course there--

are some minor details to be looked
after in: connection with bein a
full-fledged millionaire of the vamp
infested serif—you’ve got to lose all
your selL respect—self respect an’
vamps don‘t mix no more than 011
an Water 0r politics an" religion.
Lpse your. self respect, discard your
children an' self respectin’
friends, keep well boozed up most of
the time, spend money freely on
your affinity, disgrace yourself an'
your home—do all the damnable
things you can think of an’ at the
end of five years, if you aint been
shot an' have sense enough left to
think, stop an’ ask yourself if bein’
a millionaire of the 1921 type pays?
Just ask yourself if a million dol-

late or a hundred __m11li'on dollars or

any other sum, counted in millions,
can buy .one day of real- happiness?
Money does not mean happiness an’
a million dollars to the majority of
men, is a million dollars too much.
I am not sayin’ that all million-
alres are bad—I know quite a few
who ,are good citizens—law abidin',

. s'elf'respectin' an’ desirable men to

have in any community, but I am
sayin’that more often money, or
wealth, in large amounts, is a curse
tothe owner, to his family an’ to the
country at large. An’ this is more
especially true where wealth has
come“ suddenly or'a fortune been ac—

,cum'ulated in a short time.

To prove this just scan the daily
papers, read of the divorce cases
brought by men an’ women of the
read the charges
put forth in the majority of cases
down an' ask
yourselfif you really want to be a
millionaire an’ take a_chance on
what goes with a million dollars.

At the present time there is small
chance of farmers ever . becomin’

‘ millionaires an’ while I would like

to- see them makin’ more money
than they are makin' now—makin’
money ’stead of workin’ at a loss,
still an' all, I am not sure but they

would be less happy if things should '

change an’ money should come to
them so freely they would be tempt—
ed to cut"too v'vide a Swath an’ go
out after vamps an’ such themselves.

A happy home an’ a contented
spirit is more to be sought than
great wealth. an'.m011'ey enough to

bring the comforts of life is all we

can useexcept as we save a little
ag’in the time when age shall tell us

*tot’ake' thingsreasy for the rest of

our days. An' so I ask in all sin-
cerity—who wants to be a million-
aire? Cordially yours—UNCLE

in the face of such heavy receipts
It appears as though the farmers,
having been caught once, have made
up their minds not to get caught
again but in marketing their wheat
now in such huge quantities they
are but springing the trap which
will enmesh them in still lower
prices“. The world situation has not
changed since our last report:
Threshing returns Continue to show
large quantities of shrunken grain
and the drought in Europe has vir-
tually ruined the crops of many
countries. Germany and Russia
which have never before been buy-
ers of American wheat are in the
market along with our big custom-
ers, the United Kingdom 'and
France, Basing our opinion on the
present outlook, we can see no hope
for an early advance of any conse-
quence in wheat, although we can-
not possibly see how prices can sink
much lower in the face of positive
information that every bushel of
our crop will be needed.

Having been a firm believer in
eventually higher bean prices we
would like to hail the recent
strength .in this market- as 3011118
and permanent but we are frankly
afraid to do so. Beans are up to
$4. 75 per cwt. on the Detroit mar-
ket, an advance of ten cents over
last week. This market would look
more encouraging if other primary
markets would follow suit, but they
don't. ’ The Chicago market has re-
corded Some advances the past 1'3"

the Detroit market.

two markets are exactly on a par.
New York paces ordinarily are 1m.

market but today the spread is only7‘

Detroit market were in the hands
of the manipulators and might do
almost anything the next few weeks.-

Eggs are holding their own, the
market having been firm and steady
for a number of weeks. Egg ex-
ports are holding up well in compar-

portation has increased tremendous-
ly, the imports for the first six'
months of this year exceeding those
for the same period last year by
185 per cent. Judging from stor-
age reports most of these imported
eggs are going into warehouses to
supply the winter trade, as storage
supplies are nearly three quarter
of a million cases larger than last
year at‘ this time. This fact does
not augur well for. fanCy egg prices

grade oats sold on the Chicago

other charges were paid. Contrast
that with the news of the Chicago

FROM THE M. B. F.’S MAINE
CORRESPONDENT

Conditions throughout the season
have been as unfavorable for potato
crop as I ever saw. The early plant-
ed potatoes are very poor, and those
who are digging now report about
75 (165 pound bbls.) per acre and
that is a very poor crop for early
digging. Ordinarily the yield is
over 100 bbls. Those who planted
the middle or ‘May and later are
rather more promising. However
they won’t yield over 90 bbls. when
they are mature, taking the county
as a whole. The dry weather that
extended to about 10 days ago,- is
the probable cause of conditions
that exist. Now that it has started
to rain we have had plenty and no
doubt there will be plenty late blight
appear and cut the yield.

Farmers through the county are
confident the price will be good. The
buyers are paying $3 to $3.50 per
bbl., at leading points now, and
many are digging. However, the
yield is small, about 40 to 70 bbls.
per acre. There is reported that
very little disease is showing up this
season. '

The Michigan Business Farmer is
keeping the farmer informed and I
enjoy reading the splendid articles.

Grange, Aroostook County, Maine.

HIPPERS who are making every
efiort to get their freight ship-
ments under way as rapidly as

possible are pursuing a wise policy.
according to the Michigan State
Farm Bureau traffic department.
That‘office declares that there is in-
creasing evidence that there will be
an insufficient number of freight
cars to meet the heavy demands for
grain shipment out of the north-
west. It is also deemed certain
that with the return ‘0! normal con-
ditions in other lines the carriers
are going to find it extremely dim»-
cult to meet all demands promptly.
