U. S. Board Loans to Farmer Companies

War Finance Corporation Advances Money to Accredited Firms for Financing Export Sales

UPPOS‘E you had a million bushels of
wheat which you did not wish to sell

at the present time, but which you had
reason to believe you might be able to sell
later at a better price to a foreign buyer.
The chances are you would need the money
tied up in the Wheat, and the chances are
that (your local banker or any banker, for
that matter, would refuse to lend you the
money and take the wheat as collateral
In that case, no matter how badly. you
wanted to hold your wheat, you couldn‘t

. do it. You would have to sell no matter

how low or unprofitable the price, and if
the fellow who bought had all kinds of cash
and credit he would have no difliculty in
holding the wheat for the higher price and
reap the profits which should have been
yours. " . ,

That thing happens every year with
hundreds of thousands of farmers. They
don’t have a million bushels of wheat but
they may have a thousand bushels each.‘
They need their money when the wheat is
harvested, but since no banker will loan
them money on the wheat, they have to sell,
and the fellows who buy the grain make
the profit.

But federal laws have been enacted
which will enable both the million-bushel
holder and the thousand-bushel holder to
secure loans on certain of their crops and
to market them in an orderly fashion.

War Finance Corporation

Junta few days ago the Business Farm-
er received the following notice from the
War Finance Corporation:

“The War Finance Corporation announces
that negotiations for advances to finance agri—
cultural products for export sale are ap-
proaching completion, as follows:

“Oklahoma Cotton Growers‘ Associa-
tion, 200,000 bales of cotton; Tens Farm
Bureau Cotton Association, 300,000 bales
of cotton; California Prune and Apricot
Growers, Inc., £5,000,000 pounds of
prunes; Washington Wheat Grorwsrs’ As-
sociation, 8,000,000 bushels of wheat;
[Idaho Wheat Growers’ Association, 2,-
000,0.00 bushels of wheat; Oregon 00—0p-
erative Grain Growers'. 2,000,000 bush-
els of wheat; Montana Wheat Growers’
Association. 1,500,000 bushels of wheat.”

By way of explanation, the War Finance
Corporation Which came into being during
the war but which expired with all war
legslation, was given a new lease of life
by the Agricultural Relief Act which was
signed by the President on Wednesday of ,
last week. " ' The corporation is given the

‘z , , authority to provide for the administra-

‘, tion of the Actwhich makes available one

Danger in the Silo

EATH LURKS in the silo. During
silo filling time many farmers are
overcome by the deadly carbon"

monoxide gases which accumulate rap-
idly above the freshly ensiled corn, and
are dead before they can be rescued. We
have warned our readers before of this
menace. We warn them again. A few
days ago two Illinois farmers were suf-
focated and a third rescued just in the
nick of time when they entered a half-
fllled silo.

“Turn the machine blower on and
leave it for at least two minutes before
entering a partly filled silo,” is the ad-
,vice of the Department of Agriculture.
Perhaps you don’t want to go to such
bother but better a few moments spent
in taking precautions than sending
someone to an untimely grave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

above are but a few of the many received.
So that it is now possible for any wheat or
corn or bean growers’ marketing associa-

tion to pool their products, store them in,

a suitable warehouse and receive from the
War Finance Corporation a considerable
loan based upon the prevailing market value
of the products, providing, however, that
the products so held are intended for ex-
port.

Describing the advantages of the new
law Eugene Mayer, J r., anaging director
of the Corporatio says:

“The Agricultural Relief Act, is a measure
of great significance to our agricultural inter-
ests. It is a very constructive piece of legis-
lation, and, in my opinion, is thoroughly
workable from the administrative point of
view. It recognizes the new conditions ex-
isting in our international and domestic trade
and aims to meet these conditions by giving
the War Finance Corporation power to assist
in financing the carrying of agricultural com-
modities until they can be marketed in an
orderly way. The inability and unwillingness
of foreign merchants and manufacturers to
purchase the greater part of their equire-
ments for the year during the perio immedi-
ately following the harvesting of our crops,
as they are accustomed to do in normal times,
coupled with the failure of our own mer-
chants and manufacturers to carry normal
stocks, has brought about a situation which
makes it necemary for us to market our
staple agricultural products over a longer
period than usual.”

U. S. Bonded Warehouse Receipts

Proper financing of the actual producer
is the first step. toward laying a permanent
foundation for orderly marketing of agri-
cultural p cts. To open the way for
the farmer ' do this is the primary pur-
pose of the bonded warehouse. Although
the ‘U. 8. Warehouse Act was passed in

1916. few tumors ire familiar with its

provisions and few warehouses have taken
advmtega 0: the .etceptional opportuni-
tim in credit which it ofiers. Under this

 

of “agricultural products,” which include
grain, b cotton, wool and tobacco, may
become a fiited States bonded warehouse
which may “sue the owner of such pro-
".l...:t: a were ouse receipt of unquestion-
able worth that is acceptable to bankers
generally as security for loans, regardless
of the location of the warehouse. No esti-
mate can be made of the profit lost to
farmers of the country annually through
their being forced for one reason or an-
other, usmally the lack of ready and sufii-
cient money, to dispose of their crops at a
season when the supply is greater than the
demand. It is known, though, that the
amount would be considerable.

The bonded warehouse adords the pro-
ducer a safe place for storing his product.
It gives him a receipt that allows him to
borrow within a reasonable margin of the
actual value of his products. He is thus
relieved of the necessity of selling them on
glutted markets as far as the need for mon-
ey is concerned. The necessity of market-
ing within one or two months, or even a
few weeks, what is to be consumed in 12
months is avoided.

That the receipts issued by the ware-
houses are of high value as collateral for
loans is evidenced by the fact that many
banks express a decided preference for
them over the ordinary warehouse receipt.
They have the approval of the regional
Federal Reserve Banks of Richmond, At—
lanta, Kansas City, St. Louis and Dallas,
which are taking an active part in influ-
encing warehousemen to become licensed
and bonded.

According to officials of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, applications from
grain warehousemen are coming in stead-
ily, and indications point to a heavy de-
mand from the large grain elevator com-
panies of theirNorthwest in the near future.
Recently an application was received from
one corporation controlling a line of 63 e1-
evators in Washington and Idaho. Every
one of these is to be placed under the Act.
Another application was received from a
warehouseman operating 14 line elevators
and negotiations are now under way with
another corporation to license about 150 of
its elevators. In addition, there were re-
cently reported 19 licensed wool warehous-
es capable of handling about one—sixth of
the entire wool clip of the United States;
and applications from several other large
wool houses are pending.

It is possible, under this act, for any

’ co-operative elevator or ware-
house in Michigan to virtually finance it-
self and its members by making use of the
facilities oflered by this act. The time is
especially opportune, too, for such a move
as it should enable farmers to hold a por-
tion of their crops for the higher prices

which nearly , Everyone believes, will come '

before another harvest.

toward Better Service

Accuracy

From the simplest test of memory to the most elaborate
Specifications, whenever an order is to be given it is the
custom of the vast majority of people to put it in writing.

This constant writing of orders is for the purpose of
insuring accuracy. People are afraid to trust the ability
‘of the one receiving the order to get it correctly, unless

      
 
 
  
 
   
  
   
  
  
  
   
  
  
   
 
   
   
        
   

What a tribute to excepfional skill and training, then. i
is the record of the Bell telephone system. Last year more

conversations were held over

Each of these billions of conversations required the
'giving of an order to a telephone employee. Not one of

these orders could be put in writing.

Some of them were given in loud voices, some spoken in

some rapidly shot out. Yet

so remarkable a standard of accuracy exists in the service of

the Bell System that more than ninety-nine per cent. of all
orders were correctly received and exeérted.

No other business is subjected to such a test as this. The

record of the average of service of the Bell System for the

the telephone has returned to

its pro-war standard of practice.

GOOD SEED IN DEMAND
ATE AUGUST rains were of im-

mense value to the greatest

late seeding: of auntie and
sweet clover the state has ever
known. according to J. W. Nichol-
son. manager of the state farm bur-
eau sud department. Explaining
the great acreage sown to the fore-
going crops in August and despite
the fact' that fall seeding of alfalfa
has never been recommended, Mr.
'Nicholson said that many farmers
who had good clover seeding burned
up during the recent drought took
another chance. It is his opinion
that the recent liberal rains will
give the late seedings a good start
before cold weather sets in.

Michigan has a bumper crop of

timothy this year and there is heavy
demand for the seed. according to
the farm bureau seed department
There is little high quality alsitte to
be had and the demand for good
seed exceeds the supply at this time.
Men who have good seed to sell are
having no difficulty in disposing of
it. Michigan farmers are bearing
down heavy on good farming prac-
tice by stressing certified rye and
wheat this fall, according to the
farm bureau, which reports a heavy
demand for the first class type of
seed.

 

WOOL POOL

A placed in the Michigan State

Farm Bureau wool pool at the
request of wool growers in the vi-
cinity of South Bend. Ind.. where
there is a mill making farm bureau

rics. Accordingly, a grader went to
South Bend this week‘flnd handled
the wool. , Pooling continues in
Michigan, both direct to state head-
quarters in Lansing and locally in
some sections where there is enough
late pooled wool coming into to
warrant the farm bureau sendin a.
grader to the local pooling cente
Graders were at Coleman and M1 ~
land this week. Farm Bureau Wool
pool men are now locating suiting,

points in Genesee,“Allegan and Ion-
ia counties. Last week seven local

in Gratiot county. It is planned to
have several hundred such distrib-
uting points for the farmers‘ man-
ufactured wool.

NINETY MILLION POUNDS OF
COOPERATIVE BUTLER

HE MINNESOTA Dairy and Food
TCommissioner has just released

figures for 1920 which show that
the co-operative creamedes of Min-
nesota make more butter and bet-
ter butter and get better prices for
it than do the private profit cream-
erios The «so—operators prbdueed
91,716,231 pounds of butter last
year, or nearly 70 per cent of the
total output of the state for which
they received over $53,000,000. The
superior quality of this butter is at-
tested by the fact that it contained
more butterfat and less water than
profit made butter, and brought on
an average seven-tenths of a cent
more per pound.

The oo-operative creamerdes of
Minhesota are owned by 84,757 co-
operators, who possess three-quart
ers of a million cows.

OOUN’HES WILL EXHIBIT

IGHTEEN counties have lined up
E for the county farm crops ex-

hibits which are to be a feat-
uro of the crops show at the state
fair in Detroit, September 2-11., ac-
cording ‘ to Clark L. Brody, secre-
tary of the State Farm bureau, who
is the member of the State Fair
board in charge of the agricultural
building and its exhibits. Count!
agents are assisting counties to
make up their exhibits and county
farm bureaus are the unit through
which the counties are working up
their exhibits in many cases. Prizes
totalling $2,000 will be distributed
in the county exhibits.

Educational exhibits have been
sought by Mr. Brody. It is his idea
to make the county exhibits a new
idea at the state fair—truly rep-
resentative of agricultural progress.
The county exhibits will share the
agricul 'ral building with the Mich-
igan ' cultural College exhibit
and th regular individual exhibits.
Countie which will make county
exhibits are: Bay, Clare, Ogemaw,
Aleona, Gladwin, Oscoda, Wayne,
Alpena, Menominee, Crawford, Tus-
cola. Oakland, Ingham, Pnesque
Isle, Montmorency, Otsego and Ros-
common.

TBE FUTURE OF OATS

RMERS WHO can afford to

hang onto their cats will do well

to do so, in the opinion of the
Michigan Elevator Exchange, which
says that oats are now at a ridicu
lously low figure, lower than at any
time since 1906. The Exchange be-
lieves that prospects are good for a
much better price on oats a little
later on. Today western states are
rushing their oats to market at
ruinous prices. Notwithstanding
that fact the eastern demand for
cats continues better than it has been
for any time in the past two years,
according to the Exchange. It is
upon this sustained demand that
the Exchange sees the promise of a
brighter future for oats.

Milling demand for wheat “con-
tinues good. but rye shows no in-
clination to recover, says the Ele-
vator Exchange.

' HE FIRST of a series of meetings which
will be held in the vicinity of Detroit to
interest “the produce growers in the establish-

. ment of community markets in the metropolis
'4‘ was held Monday night at Franklin, Oakland
l county, when several score of farmers gave
1 their approval to the prOposition and sub-

scribed f0r stock in a marketing corporation.

The meeting was called through the instru-
mentality of the agricultural division of the
Detroit Board of Commerce, of which C. A.
Bingham, former secretary of the Michigan
i . State Farm Bureau, is director. One of the
objects which led to the creation of this divi-
sion was to encourage improved methods of
marketing farm products in the vicinity of
Detroit to the end that the city might always
be assured of a steady supply of fresh and
stable .food.

 

 

~_,._. A,‘. A ”A

, John Russell, president of the Detroit
M3 Board of Commerce, was present and explain-
, 3‘ ed to the producers the interest which he and
l the Board had in the proposition before them.

He told the farmers that the marketing prob-
lem was one of vital interest to the consumer
as well as the producer.

"The city has far outgrown the marketing
facilities which were established years ago,”
said Mr. Russell. “The eastern market has
fulfilled its purpose, but having been built
when the city had a population of only a few
,s thousand, it has become quite inadequate to
A meet the present demands. The western mar-
l ket has contributed very little to the situation

of our food problem. It was built without
1 .any special foresight. The establishment of
l community markets in our city should not
. only insure a higher and more stable price to
the producers and a lower price to the con-
sumer, but more important still so far as we

} i ;. American Farm Bureau Federation Opposes High Protective Tariff ?

HE AMERICAN Farm Bureau in a
recent statement before the Senate Fin-
ance Committee favored the levying of pro-
tective duties imported vegetable oils com-
» " peting with e American dairy, lard and do-
.- ‘ mestic vegetable oil industries.
The Federation is not in favor of a very
high level of duties on commodities generally.
‘ Because of the fact that there is an export-
, able surplus of the principal farm crops, it
, is impossible for the farmer to reap the ben-
efits of a protective tariflz‘ in the same degree
' that these benefits are conferred up0n manu-
' facturers. The result is that under a high
tariff policy the farmer sells his produce at
or near the world competitive market price,
and he must buy a large part of what he con-
'~ sumes in a protected market; that is, in a
market which is considerably above the world
competitive price. There are important ex-
ceptions to this general principle, but. never-
theless the general principle remains.
In general a relatively low tariff will give
. ' [the farmer as much actual production as a
' ‘I' very high tariff, where large amounts of the
goods in question are exported. As an illus—
tration, very few - wheat growers would re-
ceive any greater benefit from a _70 cents a
‘ bushel duty on wheat than from 85 cents a
bushel duty. This situation is very different
from that of the maxim of the finer
gradesof textile goods, in these case a duty
cf 200 per cent unthil m cost will

Farmers Sign Up With U. S.

spending a lot of money to discredit

al growers. Work is being carried on at
the present time in Illinois, Indiana, Okla.-

are concerned, would insure a better and a
more dependable supply of food.”

E. J. VerDuyn of Novi, who acted as chair-
man of the meeting, expressed his approval of
community markets, and Harry Rackman of
F armington, secretary of the meeting empha-
sized the fact that prices under the
present system were very unstable and that
the farmer acting independently was quite at
the mercy of the vendors’ organization which
virtually dictated the prices. At present the
farmer who “takes produce to Detroit must
spend the better part of a day to sell it at an
advantage when he ought to be at home pro-
ducing more stuff. “Under the present sys-
tem,” said Mr. Rackman, “the farmer who
sells produce in Detroit must be an expert
salesman as well as an expert farmer.”

Other speakers were Mr. W. G. Braden,
founder and manager of the Pontiac Commun-
ity Market, who explained the workings of his

benefit. much from high rates of duty on his
products, whereas it is the rule that in the
case of goods which are being imported in
large quantities the domestic manufacturer
will benefit almost or quite to the full extent
of the high protective duty.

A duty of vegetable oils would constitute
an exception to the general principle for
farm products. The oils in question are co—
coanut oil, soy bean oil, cottonseed oil and
peanut oil. These oils are highly competitive
among themselves and became they are pro-
duced so much more cheaply than butter and
lard they are being substituted for these lat-
ter products in ever-increasing quantities and
compelling these producers to accept a price
dictated in the unprotected world market. In
1920 the exports of these commodities were as
follows:

Lard, pounds ................... 587,224,549
Butter, pounds 27,155,834

During the same year the vegetable oils were
imported as follows:

Cocoanut oil, pounds ............ 269,226,966
‘Cocoanut meat, pounds .......... 218,521,916
Soy bean 011, pounds ..,, ......... 195,773;594
Cottonseed 011, pounds ........... 24,164,821
Peanut oil, pounds .............. 165,482,722

‘One pound of cocoanut meat produces
proximately one-half pound of cocoanu‘t oil.

A duty on these oils sufficiently high to
prevent their entrance into the country in
considerable amount without any doubt
would have the efiect of making it unneces-
sary to export such large quantities of lard
anghgutter, says the farm bureau. ‘

it requires twenty-four hours or more for a

farmer to truck a load of produce to that city

and dispose of it at a decent price. He wel- ~
comed the day, he said, when community mar» 31"»:
kets in the city would receive the products of
Lapeer county farms and attend to the selling
of them. \

C. A. Bingham explained the details of the
proposed marketing corporation. It would .
have a capital of $50,000. The plan would be ‘91
to establish a central market out Woodward '
avenue somewhere in the vicinity of the junc-
tion of Detroit and Highland Park. This
would save all farmers coming into Detroit
from the north from going through the crowd-
ed thoroughfares of the down-town 6section.
Branch markets would then be established in
.various portions of the city. He said that as ,
soon as $5,000 was raised the company would
be incorporated, and upon his invitation sev- "
eral hundred dollars were subscribed before
the meeting adjourned. The sentiment of the
farmers present was strongly in favor of the
project, and the Promoters expressed their be-
lief that they would meet with little difficulty
in disposing of a majority of the stock to the
producers.

 

 

 

different rates of duty be applied to these i
oils, a higher rate for edible oils and a lower ‘
rate for oils “that are denatured and used for '
any purposes other than human food.’ ’ There
can be no objectiOn to this plan so long as the "
lower rate is high enough to be really pro- ‘
tective. Otherwise there would be a shifting ‘
of domestic vegetable oils, including the
Philippine cocoanut oil, to the edible uses and
the foreign oils would come in practically un—
limited quantities to supply the other indus-
trial purposes. The efiect of this would be to
nullify the duty and it would be of no prac-
tical value to the domestic producers of cot-
tonseed oil.

In the present bill cocoanut meat or copra
is on the free list. Unless a duty is placed on
copra the effect will be the same as far as the
lard and dairy interests are concerned as
placing cocoanut oil on the free list. The
duty perpound on copra should be one-half
the duty on cocoanut oil, the farm bureau
maintains.

If, therefore, the American producer of
dairy and lard products is to be given a do-
mestic market in which to sell these products,
in order to compensate him for having to buy
the manufactured goods which he consumes.
in a protected market, it will be necessary to},
place a duty on these imported vegetable oils
sufficiently high to exclude them. The pros "
posal to place,the duty at 10 cents a pound
for oils ma for food and 5 cents a pound-for
oils used for other industrial purposesshould
therefore new in mm at. the.

‘AVE YOU ever lain awake in the mid-

the darkness with its human freight? Have
you ever stood upon a station platform and
watched a train disappear in the distance

journey? If you have, you are in a position"
to know just about how I felt at one .minute

' past twelve the first day of last June when

the Royal Mail Steamer Caronia weighed
anchor at the foot of West Twenty-Third

. street, New York City and moved majestical-

ly away from her pier upon her trip across
the Atlantic ocean.

Even now I recall with a shudder the hor-
rible nausea of homesiekness which swept
overOme at that moment. And the band was

gown With unseeing eyes upon the throngs of

. people that stood below waving their farewell

greetings or gently weeping. I have a

1 mcollection of a moving camera man pointing

the nose of his machine straight at my nose,

; and I have had a faint curiosity to witness
, the picture he got for I am certain that my
, visage upon that occasion was such as to

make the angels weep could they have looked
upon it.

The entire first—class quarters of the Caron-
ia were reserved for Rotarians and their fam-
flim bound for the convention at Edinburgh.
‘At an adjoining dock lay the Cameronia, also
reserved for Rotarians. The mission upon

‘ ‘ which these hundreds of people were bent was

not one entirely of pleasure. The thing that
took them away from their shops, their of—
fices, their factories and their farms,—for
there were a number of farmers on board,—
was the desire to aid in the success of a great
international convention, the ultimate ob-
Ject of which was to bind the peoples of the
world in closer friendship and union. The
spirit of Rotary is the spirit of true co-oper-
ation. Not co—operation merely between the

people of one class but between the people of ‘

all classes.
The day before the departure all Rotari-

Traveling through twenty-six counties and

‘ farmers totaling about 14,000 by actual count.

The tour proved to be one of the most suc-

. cessful agricultural trains ever run in Mich-

igan, results exceeding the expectations of
the organizations planning the venture. The
Michigan Holstein-Friesian Association, the
Agricultural College, the New York Central
and Pennsylvania railroads, and other state
agricultural bodies co-operated in putting on
the train. .

The honor of turning in the “scrubbiest

Greatest Showing of Cattle
in History of State Fair

NFORMAT‘ION available at the close of

last week, concerning the number of cat-
tle that will probably be on exhibition at the
coming State Fair, would favor an estimate
of about 1,100 head; this is, probably, a gain
of more than 50 per cent over any exhibit of
live cattle ever held in the state. The entry
list reveals the names of seven beef breeds
and five dairy breeds.

The dairy division, alone, will include more
than 400 entries, Holsteins showing around
200, Guernseys and Jerseys about evenly rep—
resented with about 70 head each. Ayrshires
to the number'of 56 head Will be shown. The
Lenawee County Holstein Breeders’ Associa-
tion will be the largest exhibitor in this class,
showing 46 head. The names of. the other
Holstein exhibitors are as follows:

Detroit Creamery Co., John P. Hehl and Dr.
Erwin Myer of Detroit; John H. Winn, Roch-
ester, Mich.; Michigan School for the Deaf and
the State Hospital at Pontiac; John C. Buth,
Grand Rapids; J. M. Eager, HOWell, Mich.; C.
L. Hazlett & Son, Okemos, Mich.; George W.
Mott, Metamora, Mich.; C. E. Weisner, Adrian,
Mich., and the Pickering Farm, Belton, M0.

The largest exhibitor of Jerseys is the E.
W. Vasorey Farm of Detroit, with 25 head. The
other exhibitors in this (Continued on page 13)

subjects of some of the important talks giv— ,

en at each meeting.

Special help in placing bulls in communi-
ties by several city organizations of business
men along the route of the trip. Chambers
of Commerce at Gladwin, Lake City, and Os-
ceola County, the Big Rapids Exchange Club,
the Ravenna Improvement Association, and
business men of Conklin purchased bulls from
the train and then rafi'led them off in their
respective communities.

Special exhibits for women were carried in
a Woman’s Car on the train. Mrs. Louise M.
Campbell, state leader of Home Demonstra-
tion Work, addressed the women at all meet-
ings, while Miss Bessie Hoover, dairy spec-
ialist from the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, also helped in putting on exhibits and
meetings for housekeepers.

Throughout the trip, the idea was brought
out that Bull Associations are about the most
practicable means of securing good sires for
a community. In this connectiOn the college
men emphasized the fact that the resources of
the college are available to assist in placing
cattle of any breed. The recent train hap-

..pened to carry Holstein cattle, the train being

inaugurated: by the Holstein-Friesian Assoc-
iation, but the educational work carried on
applied to all breeds equally.

' One of the most interesting features of the
train prOVed to be the comparison between

brow says that. we should love all countries as
much as our own, he might as well say we should
love other men's wives as much as our own. And
it any man dares to tell me that he thinks as
much of my family as he does his own, well, I
don't want him to have very much to d3\with my
family. And so it is with'countries. ‘ It is no
disgrace to love one’s country, and the Almeria
can citizen who does not love his country better

than any other is not an American citizen at‘all. »

He is a half breed. Loving one’s country with
all one’s heart and soul gives one the capacity
for appreciating the love which other people have
for their countries, and teaches one to appreci-
ate the wérth of other countries.

“And I imagine that while you will tell the
British Rotarians that your own country is your
first love, that you have nothing but the hearti-
est good feeling and friendship for Great Britain
and the rest of our Allies. I am sure you wiIl
give Great Britain due credit for the part she
played in the great war, and I am sure you will
impress upon her citizens and the citizens of the
rest of the allied countries your earnest desire
to join with them in an international under-
standing which will make for universal friend-
ship, lovo and peace.”

It was a great moment in the lives of many
on board when the Caronia steamed down the
North River passed the statute of Liberty and
nosed her way through the “Narrows” out
into the blue Atlantic. It was almost exactly
a year before that I had stood at the very peak
of the statue and looked out over the busy bay,
little dreaming that a few months later I
would pass beneath the lofty torch on my
way to a foreign land. All eyes are turned
upon the giant figure and all hearts are thrill-
ed by the thoughts of the love for country and
the liberty which the statue typifies. If one
has never felt that urging of love and patriot-
ism which should fill every true American
with a feeling of personal relationship .be-
tween himself and his country, let him stand
on an ocean liner headed for foreign shores
and strain his eyes for a last glimpse of the
Statue of Liberty as it sldwly fades from the
vision in the enveloping veils of New York

The Mothers’ Pension Law does
not provide any amount for the
mother, as such, but provides that
such amount as the Judge of Pro-
bate shall determine shall be paid
the mother for each‘ child but the
amount to be paid the mother shall
not exceed three dollars for each
child. It is possible that the last
legislature may have changed the
amount allowed. The law does not
provide for terminating the pension
upon the marriage of the mother. I

ter the marriage of the mother, the
children were no longer dependent

The State Fair Is On
IGHT MILES north of the Detro" city

 

 

A.“

ball a wonderful exposition is being
staged. It is the seventysecond annual Mich-
igan State Fair. Here within the narrow con-
fines of a few hundred acres, are gathered the
products of Michigan’s farms and factories.
They are the best products which the ingenu-
ity of the twentieth century can produce.
They are the result of generations of applied
science, invention and industry. They reflect

ythecharacteroftheprogressivofarmers of

the state, the financial captains who have
built her great factories, and the men who
workwithintheirwalls. Younwdnotgoto
thefarcornersoftheearthtofindthemarv-
elsoftheunim-sc. For atthe Michigan
State Fair the “mountain has actually been
brought to Mohammet,” and there in a single
half day you may view the cholpest products
of soil and labor brought together at infinite
labor and expense from every section of the
dear old State.

 

England and the United States

PUT THAT man down as an enemy of hu-
manity who breathes a word to weaken

l the traditional ties of friendship between the

United States and Great Britain. He is no
better than the Kaiser and a fitting punish~
ment would be to exile him to the opposite
end of the saw which the deposed German war-
lord is plying so assiduously in Holland to
kcephismindofi‘theheinouscrimeshehas
committed.

, A war between the two greatest English
speaking nations of the world would be a far
greater calamity to civilizatiomthan the great
war through which We have so recently
passed. That anyone should even THINK of
the possibility, let alone suggesting the prob-
ability of such a war fills one with apprehen-
sion. And. yet, there are those who seriously
argue that war between these two nations is
bound to come. Even such a statemt ‘could

newspaper told of the “antipathy and indig-

'A Senator Speaks

N THE old Roman days a. Senator was just
I about the “whole cheese.” When he
spoke the foundations of the buildings quiv-
ercd and the people trembled. We find it
hard to believe that senators are divinely en-
(lowed with special wisdom. But in Roman
days Senators were as grave and dignified
and weighed their words with as much solem-
nity as the proudest school director who ever
mounted a platform to charge future gener-
ations with their responsibilities of life. They
acted as if they knew everything that was
worth knowing even if they didn‘t. But now-
adays a Senator seems to have no hesitancy in
revealing to his constituency 'What a paucity
of intellect he has. In recent years we have
had several spectacles of our law-makers de-
scending from their lofty positions to engage
in abusive controversies unworthy of high
school boys. Take Senator Reed of Missouri,
for instance This gentleman astounded the
country with his powers of vituperation when
during the peace conference he heaped such
abuse upon Pres. Wilson that it brought about
the condemnation of many of the President’s
worst enemies. In the debates that took place
upon the floor of the Senate over anti-liquor
legislation, the" Senator’s tongue wahbled at
both ends and the things he called everybody
who were in favor of such legislation would
have done credit to a drunken street rowdy
but hardly to a United States Senator. Only
a couple weeks ago the Senator attacked Rep.
Volstead, author of the Volstead enforcement
act, in words that brought a blush of shame to
the checks of every listener. Indeed, so
harsh and insulting were his remarks that
the Senate, in order to maintain its dignity,
passed a resolution with only three dissent-
ing votes to expunge the remarks of Sen. Reed
from, the record, an actiOn without precedent
in the history of the Senate. We envy not
our sister state the possession of Sen. Reed.
She is welcome to him. But for the sake of
the rest of the country who must witness his
shameful tantrums, she ought to recall him
long enough to instruct him in parliamentary
manners with an old-fashioned barrel stave.

The Man for the Job

UR OLD friend, Milo Campbell, has

been endorsed for appointment to the
federal trade commission by the executive
committee of the American Farm Bureau fed-
eration. This is ' a fine tribute to
the character and ability of Mr. Campbell.
The Business Farmer knows of few men in
the eniire United States Who have fought
more consistently and aggressively to secure
a. square deal for agriculture than be. It
would be a fitting reward for his services to
agriculture and a distinct advantage to the
nation to name him on that commission. ' It
is the dual hope Jof Mr. Campbell’s admirers
in his own native state that congress may see

tural bent on the common. and that that

Woodrufl On Taxation

sPlZ'LAKING of Senators reminds us of the
good work which Congressman Woodrufi!
of the tenth district is doing at the present
session of Congress. Woodrufi‘ was one of
the .few congressmen who came out flat-footed
against the pending tax bill which, in its. or-
iginal form, not only repealed the excess prof-
118 tax but made it retroactive to January lst,
last. It may be assumed that Congressman
Woodrufl was partially responsible for the
amendment of the bill to make the repeal ef-
fective the first of ”the coming January. Wood-
rufl is opposed to the repeal of the excess
profits tax and so stated on the floor of the
House when he charged that the repeal of
high profits taxes would transfer the burden
of paying the greater proportion of the war
debts upon the shoulders of peOple in moder-
ate circumstances. Furthermore,

“I: is ridiculous to argue that the excess prof-
its tax is responsible for high prices and business
depression. Under this law profits up to 8 per
cent are exempt. Eight per cent profit was con-
sldered a reasonable income on investment be-
fore the war. Why shouldn’t it be now? Even
where the profits aro'such that the tax has to
be paid they may go up as high as 29 per cent
before more than 20 per cent or the profits is
taken by the government, or $1 out of every $5.
Surely this is not an exorbitant price to pay for

the privilege or doing business in a country where
such profits are possible."

HE FARMERS of the’wiheat belt
L of the United States have been

exhausting their soils raiding
wheat to ship to Liverpool, London
and other foreign countries in order
to supply the starving millions of
other countries. , ,

Our wheat is sold" to the local el-
evator for about $1 per bushel. The
local elevator men ship this wheat
to Minneapolis, Chicago, Teledo,
New York and other large elevator
centers 'with about five cents per
bushel charges or profits added.

These larger elevator companies
add to the price of the wheat, larg-
er freight rate profits and express
charges, including interest on in-
vestment, etc, and then turn this
great volume of the farmers wheat
into the hands of the grain gamblers
or so—called Board of Trade. This
great volume of wheat is usually
kept in the hands of and under the
control of these grain gamblers for
six or eight months until they can
pound down the price of this grain
to the farmers and get the larger
per centoi it into these terminal e1-
evators. Then these grain gamblers
commence bulling the price of wheat.

These grain gamblers, after sell-
ing through the Board of Trade,
about one hundred bushels of this,
the farmers” wheat, for every bush-
el they originally bought and fleec-
ing the people out of millions of
dollars through their wicked and
diabolical way of operating their
whdat gambling business, are about
ready to offer some of this wheat for
sale on the Liverpool market.

After this grain goes onto the
Liverpool market, it is again man-
ipulated or handled by another lot
of grain gamblers and speculators
and by the time the millers and bak-
ers get their profits added and the
railroads and transportation com-
panies add about fifty cents per
bushel for freight, the ultimate con-
sumer across the pond has to pay
about four times as much for a
loaf of bread as he should have to
pay and the farmers who produced
the wheat are swindled out of over
one-half its value.

Now, Brother Farmers, how much
longer are we going to go on pro-
ducing wheat in the United States
for less than half of the actual cost
of production and allow it to be

' handled by a lot of gamblers and

speculators who are robbing and de-
frauding us out of one-half of the
value of our wheat. The only rem-
edy in sight is through co—operation
and the Farm Burean.—-—-J. A. P.,
Hillsdale County, Michigan.

Whether or not the situation is exact»

1y as you have described it does not
greatly matter. The fact is that the
prices of the world’s grain crops are
dictated to a certain extent by men who
have no dinect interest in agriculture.
This ought not to be and will not be
when the farmers are in control of the

, marketing machinery—Editor.

 

MR. PICKELL AND THE GRAIN .
EXCHANGES

ROM TIME to time you have

written me your opinions relative

‘ to prohibition. In a personal
way I want to call your attention to
the editorial appearing in your pub-
lication which I am enclosing here-
with. (The Grain Exchanges.)

It just goes to show you how
dangerous it is for one who is ig-
norant of the facts to discuss bus-
iness propositions.

The Grain Exchange bill as orig-
inally introduced into Congress
~would have put the grain exchanges
out of business, and the grain ex-
changes admitted it would.

The Capper—Tincher bill, however
was amended so that all reasonably
minded men favored it, including
this writer, and I have laid in the
columns at the Round-Up. it was
even a better bill than could he
logically expected under as ou-
cumstances. -
There is nothing in {II

which to

 

gotten more than they expected, but
you have conveyed in your editorial
an entirely different opinion. I see
absolutely no difference between
printing such a statement as you
have and getting violently drunk,
either morally, spiritually or com-
mercially.

Second—You do not know that
the exchanges are spending “for-
tunes” to stem the Grain Growers.
There has been a lot of talk about
a quarter of a million fund, but I
actually know the sum is less than
$25,000. That is the sort of in-
temperance I hate, and I am sur-
prised that you are departing from
the truth .when the facts are avail-
able—J. Ralph Pickell, Editor and
Publisher, the Round—Up, Chicago.

Mr. Pickell is the publisher of a lit-
tle paper which circulates largely among
men engaged in the grain trade. He is

'1 , PINION” " ‘ 4 _
‘ .1 ELATI'VE to the' song poem on-
, J titled “The Bird With a Brok-
.‘ en Pinion" printed in your pa-
per recently, and in the article of
__'Ang. 20th, requesting others to
comment upon it, permit me to say
I take your paper Weekly, and scan
its pages. New I will say that you
'are correct in your acceptance and
belief of the apostle’s teaching
where he speaks of there being a
natural body, and also there being
a spiritual body. Paul plainly teach-
es us that each individual shall live
again in the hereafter in a separate
and conscious existence. Jesus
Christ stands squarely with Paul in
this belief and plainly teaches the
same truth in Luke 16, verses «19 to
81. This is Christ's own parable of
the hereafter and it is descriptive of
a reality. It is high time for a lot
of people today to learn once and
forever that all the parables taught
by Christ are descriptive of some-
thing very real. If this is not so,
then there is no sense in parables,
and no need whatsoever of them.

' Next, I will confess that the song
about the bird with the broken pin-
ion, has deceived a mighty lot of
people. It has made them believe
there is no more in grace than in
nature. And they have gone to wor-
shiping nature as their God, in-
stead of the true God who made
nature, and controls it by his power.
I contend there is a vast difference
between the two. None of us are
real Christians by nature. By that,
we are all sinners. The Bible and
human experience mightily prove
this, but by grace we can all be
made new creatures in Christ

“I am what I am," Paul said, "by
the grace of God." The only ma-
terial the Almighty can put his
hand up to make saints of, are sin—
ners, and it matters now how bad
they are, or have ever been. In so
speaking about grace, Paul was
speaking of the wonderful change
grace had made in and through him.
Many are making the sad mistake
of magnifying sin, and the power of
Satan so much, that unbelief has
filled their hearts and they have
uribly belittled God's grace and
power, and the virtue of the aton-
ing blood of Christ. Without the
shedding of blood there is no remis-
sion of sin. This is new testament
teaching throughout. Too many
have made the mistake of basing
their hopes of eternal life on what
they do.

No one can be justified by human
works. I am a firm believer in the
blood atonement of the Son of
God and preach it constantly. If
Christ shed not his blood to atone
for the sins and shortcoming of
mankind, what, I seriously ask.
what did he spill it for? Again, I
most positively disagree with the
lady who signs her name at the
bottom of the article in which she
affirms that water baptism was in-
stituted as a sacrament to wash
away our sins. I take exception to
this kind of theory. This is untrue
and a false interpretation of the
word of God. It cannot stand the
investigation of many other Scrip-
tures. There is a place for water
baptism in the plan of God, but it is
a scout: Iiace and not first, and so
important as many make it out to
be. Paul and Peter and John :11-
ways kept it in a second place and
spoke of it as a sign or figure of
the Holy Spirit, and his work of
grace. Many places in Scripture,
water is so used as a type or symbol
of the spirit as seen in John, 3rd
chapter, where Christ had the con—
versation with Nicodemous, when
he told him except a man be born
again of water and the Spirit, he
couldn‘t see the kingdom of heav-
en. In another verse he didn’t even
mention the water at all, but just be-
ing born again of the Spirit.

Also in the fourth chapter of John,
,Christ, in his conversation with the
woman of Samaria, asked her for a
drink. He then grasped held of his
opportunity to talk about her soul,
and it being saved, He turned his
mind from the literal water she
~ came out to draw, and He theamdo

N0 SET RULE FOR TAKING
DRUDGERY OUT OF FARM WORK

UST A WORD of appreciation for
“our page," and it is with great
interest that I am watching for

answers to "Taking Drudgery from
Farm Work,” but it is my opinion
that the rule that suits one home
will not fit another, and I know
many who have everything so con-
venient (with money to buy more)
and no family, do more complaining
than those who have to do twice the
work and make the best of what they

 

have, so I think it is all in one’s '

own point of view. If your work is
drudging, just change your viewh
point and it won’t cost a cent. if
you want to be miserable, just feel
sorry for yourself. I so often wish
that people would stop saying to
me, “My! You must have your hands
full with your little ones.” Haven’t
you often heard it, or perhaps said
it yourself? But a cheerful word

“our page” very much. and I am coming
to you for help, as you seem to be a
very friendly and neighborly person, al-
though I have no help to offer in ex;-
change this time. First, I would like to
see printed as soon as possible a recipe
for Chicken, a la King. such as we get
in first class restaurantsealso a recipe
to make‘good dill pickles in a crock. All
the recipes I can find calls for a barrel
to be headed up. I have heard there is
a way to make dill pickles and pack in
crock as gathered—a few each day-—
also, I wonder if any of the readers have
copies of the Woman's World' from Jan-
uary, 1920 to end of story “'Til the
Clock Stops.” I would like to. borrow
them or exchange book for them. If
you will ask for this. please ask them
to send a post card first as I want only
one set. Also, I would like to know how
to make cider vinegar quickly from hard
cider. Also recipes for using sour cream

At a convention of National Hair-
dressers this summer it was decided
that car muffs must go. Ears will
be swathed with hair no longer but
will come boldly out in pairs and
hair will be dressed high on the

Popular Goat Style for Mother’s Girl
This little coat is so simple and
easy to cut that father’s or big sis»
ter's old one may be used to make
a coat for “the littlest girl.” A
cloth or narrow belt of leather may
be worn with it. In that case put
stays at the under arm seams. Make
the stays of heavy crochet silk. Take
a stitch the proper length for the
width of the belt and then button-
hole the stitch very closely. This is
.. the newest thing

in stays.

My Lady In Her Fall Suit

When you come right down to
the perfect truth, nothing in the
world looks so well on the street as
a suit. In the Eastern cities wo-
men do not appear on the down
town streets without neck and arms
being well covered, that is, the bet-
ter class of women do not, and it is
the better class of women to whom
I am writing. We are more free
here in the middle west and in the
rural districts but your editor does
not like to see a very low neck and
very short sleeves for the public
gaze in any place. Such dressing
in moderation is very appropriate
for the home and for social gather-
tings among one’s friends. Just
notice the skirt of this suit. It is
particularly pretty and a model be

becoming to almost any figure.

one on taking drudgery from work. I
have four children, oldest nine years
thus far We have very few conveniences
on our farm as we have just been on it
two years. I have had a question to
ask of you for some time. It is this!
Can you find a can Opener that will suc-
cessfully open glass top fruit jars with-
out rulning the rubber—I can not open
them only with a pointed paper cutter
and that makes a hole in the rubber.
The rubbers could be used two or three
times over if I could get the glass tog
off without pressing on tho rubber.
know one can open the jars by immers-
ing them in hot water but one does not
always have hot water ready nor the
time to leave it in the water. I shall
be very pleased to send you the price if
you could purchase such an opener as
need, if you will write me. I put "all my
fruit in glass top jars. *Just one more
question: Do you know whether the
Wonder Wickless oil stoves are pro
satisfactory. Do they last very long.
Are they any more expensive to use
than the Perfection Oil Stove. Perhaps
some of the ladies can answer this and
I will very much appreciate lL—Mra. H.
M W., Fennvllle, Michigan.

 

I have wanted just such an opener for
a long time. Next time I am in the city
I will go to a large hardware supply
store and inquire and purchase two, if
there are any to‘be found. One for you.
Let me hear from some user of the
Wonder Wickless stove.

 

I have received a great many helpful
ideas from the woman’s page of the M.
B. F. There is one thing I would like to
ask you, that is, do you have a catalog
of patterns, if so, will you tell me the
price and I will send you the money for
one. Patterns at the stores are so very
high and We farmers are having to look
at the pennies and dimes these days. ,I
will send you two recipes which you may
publish if you like. My husband thinks
I am giving him lemon pie when I make
after this recipe: 2-3 cup sugar, yolk of
one egg. 2 tablespoons flour. 1 tablespoon
vinegar. 2 teaspoons lemon extract. 1
1-2 cups water, fill a baked crust and
put beaten white on top. Cookies—«1 cup
sugar, 1 cup molasses, 2 eggs, salt, nut-
meg and ginger. 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1
tablespoon soda dissolved in water. Mix
the night before baking; are cod and
keep for a long time—«Mrs. S. R.

EAR CHILDREN: Here I am,
back at my desk again, and.
while I had a fine time during
my vacation, I am glad towreturn to
my work, where I receive letters
every day from manytsf my nieces
and nephews throughout Michigan.
While I was away from the office I
missed your letters but when I came
back you should have seen the pile
of them on my‘desk waiting for me.

I suppose you would like to know
where and how I spent my vacation.
Well, I am going to tell you. I took
an auto trip to the scenes of my
childhood in the central part of
Michigan, where I was born and
lived until I was 20 years of age.
While there I visited the farm Where
I spent the greater part of those 20
years—It is owned by strangers now
and many changes have taken place
since I» last saw it. I passed by the
schoolhouse where I went to school
'when a small boy and I went swim-
ming in the old swimming hole. I
cut a fishing pole in the woods and
tried to catch some fish in one of my
old favorite fishing nooks along the
river bank but I guess I am out of
practice or else I didn’t use the
right kind of bait because I didn't
catch any. Altogether I had a wond-
erful time doing all these things,
visiting old friends and going on
picnics but after a couple of weeks
we began to get homesick so we re-
turned to Mt. Clemens and were
very glad when we drove up in front
of our home. Anyone never ap-
preciates What a fine place their
home is or what wonderful times
they have there until they go away
to visit and get homesick. Isn’t that
true?—UNCLE NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned——As I have nothing
more to do for a while I though I would
drop you a line to let you know I am
feeling line. How are you? I think
the New York girl is right about the
letters of the boys and girls, so I arr
going to try and please her. My sister
was 9 years old Sunday, June 5th. We
had a. little party for her at Sunday
school. Mama made a cake and the
teacher had nine candles to put on the
cake. We have started a contest in
Sunday school and the girls have 500
or more points. I don’t know how many
the boys have. We have been having
(rite bad luck this year. My sister just
got out of the hospital. and was so she
could run around again and our house
burned, then that could not be enough
our house we are living in now has been
on fire and if it had not of been for the
school boys who were out for recess We
would never have saved it. We are very
thankful that it was saved. Say Unclr
Ned why not print your picture in onae
corner of our page so that we can take a
good look at you. I am sending a'story
that I wrote. Oh, say, won't someone
write to me? I got letters from three
of the children but lost the addresses of
them in our first fire—Marjorie Clark,
Ravenna, Michigan.

A Mammoth Strawberry

Once upon a time there was a man
who raised very fine strawberries. One
year his strawberries were very big, and
long was very, very big. so big that it
covered the whole patch and the roac’
which went past the patch. Now there
was a tribe of very small people who
were traveling from the north and hap—
pened to come on this road. When they
came to this big strawberry they wond—
ered what it was. Some of the bravest
men went up to it, and punched it. with
their fists, they said "It is very soft,
maybe we can dig through it." Somr
of the women thought that they might
find a gold mine there. So the men
started to dig a path, and the women
followed. When they had dug a little
Ways it began to smell quite good, as if
it were good to eat. And one of the
men said “I have heard of some big red
things called strawberries and it was
said that they were good to eat and I
think this is a strawberry. “It smells
awful good anyhow," said a. little boy
“I wish I had a spoon:” So his mother
gave him one so he could taste it. "My
but thatVdoes taste good, I could eat a
peck of it.” he said. Then the others
got spoons and tasted of it and they all
liked it and they ate and ate until i‘
was all cleaned out on the inside and
the boy who thought it would taste good
wentytO take one more bite and his
spoori went right through it and he said
“Oh. Oh, my spoon has some clear thru
this thing." and it was clear to the outp
side. and the .men then dug a hole large

Dear Uncle Ned—I wrote to you once
before and described myself so I'll tell
you about a. picnic I was to. It was a
farm bureau picnic but there were a. lot
of people from town. We started around
eight o’clock and I tell you we hac’
quite a. lot of trouble with our car. But
we got there at last and then I went
in swimming with one of my chums and
stayed there until dinner time, then we
had our dinner. There was a. ball game
between Newberry and Lakefield. We
had a dance after that and there was
some people giving away lemonade and
candy and ice cream. I went swimming
again and stayed in about two hours.
There was a man that made a speech
and I’ll tell you a joke I heard there:
Two boys going along the road and one
of them stuttered. They were going to
shoot a crow, so the boy that stuttered
missed it and after they got a little
further the other moving his gun al‘
over shot and got it. The boy that
stuttered stid "You oughta got it, you
sh—sh-shot at the whole tree." Well, I
will say goodbye and hope some of the
boys and girls will write to me.—Win-
ifred Roberts, Box 46, Newberry, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned———We are little girls.
ten years old, we are twins and will be
in the 6th grade when school begins. Our
father takes the M. B. F. and we like
it very much especially the Children’s
Hour, and the D00 Dads. They are
funny little men and sometimes very mis-
chevious. We live just outside of _ the
city limits in a big white house; the
roof of the house is green. It was just
built last year. For pets we have a
brown pony, his name is Bob. and a
canary bird named Nellie. We hope
Uncle Ned will have a very pleasant va-
cation for he sure is a nice man. WV;
Were to Spring Lake on our vacation
and had a very nice time. We forgot
to tell you our names. They are Betty
and June Bright. have an older
sister; her name is Ann.““._She is away
to school and we miss her very much. I
hope all of the other children are as anx-
ious for school to begin as we are.—
B. and J. Bright, Grand Rapids, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—I think the D00 Dads
are funny little fellows. I am going to
tell you about our picnic that we had
the 24th of July. We had church in
the morning and in the afternoon the
picnic. We played games and we also
fished. I fished and won an umbrella
and a bottle of perfume. The school
children sang and the band played.—
Pauline Weber, Freeland, Michigan.

Dear Uncle Ned—I am a girl 12 years
old and in the 7th grade. Today is my
birthday. A girl friend of mine is at
our place. We went after some black-
berries yesterday. We got about 50
quarts. My girl friend, my sister and 3
went across the road on my uncle’s farm
and picked 2 quarts of blackberries and
2 of ’gooseberriesr—Theresa Lamb, Lake

Dear Uncle Ned—I am a girl 11 years
old and would like to join this merry
circle for little folks. We live on a
farm of 148 acres. I have a little Kew-
pie doll. I am in the 8th grade next
fall. Uncle Ned don’t you think it
Would be nice to put in your letter what
you can make in crochet work. I can
make lingerie clasps for keeping the

like to know how. I will close with best
wishes to Uncle Ned and the M. B. F.—

, Dear Uncle Ned—I now live on a farm
but we have rented it so we are going
to move to Big Rapids and I am going
to take college preparatory at the Ferris
Institute. I have one sister and one
brother who will teach school at Lever-
ing., She will teach rimary grades and
ray brother will teach ninth and tenth
grades. Wish some of the boys and
girls would write to me. My sister
wrote to a young man at Lapeer and I
wrote to a lady at Custer, both of them
had written to the Children’s Hour.—

Japan’s enormous exportation of
beans and peas to this country 5

six months of the current year’tho
exports of these products decllnd

better feeling in Michigan beans.

 

The value of the wool imported
by the United States from London
was two and a half times greater
during the first six months of 1921
than the same period last year.

During the seven months ending
July 31st, 1921, the exports ct
wheat, corn, and barley showed 1
large increase over the quantity ex-
ported during the same period «last
year.

 

In twelve years the membership
of the co—operative societies of
Czecho—Slovakia has increased from
14,000 to 574,020. Total busineu

lion crowns, and net profits from
172,568 crowns to 13,510,581

2,000 ROTARIANS ON MISSION
OF COOPERATION
(Continued from page 4)
Another hour and the land of lib-
ert beckons us no more. Seventy-
fiv‘ miles of salt and fresh water
are between us and New York and

we turn our eyes oceanward.

Nearly every trade or profession
and all but three states of the
Union and one province of Canada
were represented upon board the
Caronia. My stateroom companions
consisted of a lumber merchant from
Atlantic City and the secretary of
a mercantile warehouse concern in
the city of Toronto. Both were
splendid chaps whose companion—
ship contributed much to the pleas—
ure of the voyage.

‘ O O C

It is not likely that a detailed ao-
account of life on board an ocean
steamer would be of interest to M.
B. F. reader's. 0n the particular
occasion of. which I write portions
of every day were reserved for bus-
iness and social sessions in which
nearly all the men and many times
the women participated. At these
sessions stress was laid upon Ro-
tary principles of friendship, follow-
ship, morality, charity, generosity,
and above all service. Oftentimes
speakers emphasised the belief that

no man had a right to saga in
business of any kind for sole
purpose of making a profit. If he

could not really serve a community
better than it was being served be-
fore he should not enter into busi-
ness. Which was rather a startling

for a group of business men to in-
flict upon themselves. .

PAYING WATER TAX

Can a village that is bonded for water
and lights make one pay a water tax
when you are not furnished? The near-
est hydrant is more than 40 rods from
my house. Have no fire protection.—
A Reader of M. B. F., Cass Gonna.

I am of the opinion that the city
could make all taxable property pay
whatever tax is levied for construc-
tion and general maintenance but
not the water rate where no water
is furnished—Legal Editor.

There are other sprays which will

I believe kerosene emulsion would

make and very destructive to rubber
hose, pump valves and clothing and
there would be very little, if any-
thing saved by substituting this
emulsion for the nicotine.

Whale oil soap would do it if
used at the rate of one pound to five
or six gallon of water but it is not
so effective as the nicotine and in
any considerable amount costs more.
Therefore the nicotine is the favor-

fectiveness and because of its cheap-
ness. To repeat: Success depends

more on the thoroughness of the
application than on anything else.

ESSENKAY PROMISES TO SETTLE

URING THE past several months

the Collection Box has received

a number of claims against the
Essenkay Products 00., makers of
automobile tires, Chicago.
cases cited the Essenkay Products
Company had failed to make good
its guarantee of refunding money on
tires which were returned to them
as unsatisfactory. The claims ag-
gregated upwards of $200. A good
deal of correspondence has passed
between us and the Essenkay peo-

ple in our efforts to securean im- ‘

mediate settlement of these claims,
but without result. The firm main-
tains that it has the very best of
intentions of adjusting the claims,
but asserts that it has met with ser-
ious financial reverses as a result
of the business depression which
made it necessary for them to re-
organize. They declare that the
claims will be paid in full just as
soon as possible or, they hope, in
about ninety days. The following
letter from the sales manager of the
company explains the position in
which the firm is alleged to be at
the present time:

"It would be an immense relief to us

if we were able to make the long delayed .-

settlement wlth Mr. (3.. which you have

Letters also received from the
president and secretary repeat
what the sales manager has said.
Feeling that under the circumstanc-
es nothing would be gained by prese-
ing the claims at this time. the Col-
lection Box advised the firm that it
would defer taking any action. for
the time being but would be duty

junior yearling bull classes but Ros-
enberger carried off senim- and
grand championship honors with his
two-year—old heifer, Cloverleaf Darl-
111;.
h——-—-‘

The number of Hereford entries
will be much larger than ever be-
fore in the history of the fair. The
names of the'following breeders are
included in the Hereford entry list:
Smith Bros., Ligonier, Ind.; F. H.
Sanders, Eaton Rapids, Mich.; Har-
old Detwiler, Gladwin, Mich.; Cal-
houn Bros., Bronson, Mich.; Michi-
gan Agricultural College, Lansing.
Mich.; James V. Hill, Randall, 0.;
James Engle & Son, Sheridan, Mo.;

,J. L. Priddy & Son, Warren, Ind.;
‘H. E. Schmidt 174,

Son, Columbus,
0.; and the Pickering Farm, Belton,

. Missouri.

When the returns are all in, it is
probable that the Shorthorns will
lead all other beef breeds in the
number of entries for the 1921 fair

 

'but the margin between them and

the Herefords will be very small.
Carpenter & Ross, Mansfield, Ohio,

will show the greatest number of ,,

cattle in the Shorthorn division.
their entries numbering 42. The
Shorthorn list also includes the
names of John Lessiter's Sons,
Clarkston, Mich.; S. H. Pangborn
and Carr Bros., Bad Axe, Mich.; M.
Wagner, Frem»ont,‘0hio; M. & J.
Schaffer, Erie, ,Pa.; Buckland Hall

berger & Son, Tiffin, Ohio and C. T.
Prescott, Tawas City, Mich.

 

Several new names will appear on
this years Angus entry list. Besides
the Wildwood and Woodcote herds
the breeders following will com-
pete for the honors in this de-
partment: Eldred A. Clark, St.
Mich.; Dr. G. R. Martin.
Croswell, Mich.; Thomas Barnett &

the time is not far distant when a
new pavilion forthe sheep and hogs
can be erected.

One of the old original cattle
barns has been remodeled and di-
vided into pens to house and hold
the carload exhibits, of fat steers
during the fair. W. H. Pew, the
judge of beef cattle, will be assist-
ed in making his selections of win-
ners, in the fat stock division, by
two experienced butchers.

 

Appearances, at present writing,
‘seem to indicate the probable neces-
sity of using every inch of space
available on the grounds to prop-
erly house the cattle exhibit: when
it is remembered that the new cat-
tle barn accommodates 464 full-
grown cattle, the increase in the
number of show animals, this year
over last, becomes apparent.

The Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege will put on a cow testing dem-
onstration; the college will also
show a herd of cattle in which near-
ly all of the leading beef and dairy
breeds will be represented. The M.
A. C. will be represented in the
poultry department and will fur-
nish an educational exhibit of bees:
samples of foul breed and other dis—
eases, that bees are heir to, will be
on exhibition in this department.

 

One of the most interesting ex-
hibits at the coming State Fair will
be the canning demonstration.
There are 62 garden clubs in De-
troit composed of boys' and girls’,
operating under the auspices of the
Recreation Club; these clubs have
been organized into a federation
with a full quota of administration
officials and a board of managers.
The federation described above, will
send a team of three to compete for
the prizes offered by the fair in
connection with the canning con-
test; one of the members of this
team, a boy of thirteen, has put up
210 cans of vegetables, so far this
year, all of which he grew in his
own garden. The name and address
of this ambitious young gardener,
is Elvis Alford, 67 Goldsmith avenue,
Detroit; the team will undertake to

 

DETROIT BOARD OF COMMERCE
AIDS BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUBS

URING the Michigan State Fair,

the agricultural division of the

Detroit Board of Commerce
will announce a series of prizes of-
fered by business men of Detroit,
who also are farm operators, for
the best products of boys' and girls’
displayed at the fair next year.
These prizes will be supplementary
to those offered by the fair manage-
ment and are intended as a special
incentive for development of pro—
duction club work, particularly in
nearby counties.

In its efforts to promote higher
standards of farm production in the
counties around Detroit the agri-
cultural division of the Detroit
Board of Commerce has brought ‘to—
gether a group of business men in
the city and leaders in rural boys
and girls club work.

Among the Detroit business men
who are interested ‘w development
of club work are John F. O’,Hara
Sidney Ferries, John Endicott, John

H. Webber. Their interest in en-
couragement of club work in Mich-
igan and particularly in the adja-
cent area is based in the words 0

Fair Commission, "simply: on othe

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
HE. BUSINESS and general
trade outlook is steadily improv-
ing along many lines; indeed, so

great has been the activity in the
general demand for certain staple
commodities as to command atten-
tion from a class among us who have
"done very little of late except to talk
about impending calamities and pre-
lidict dire financial distress for the
coming winter. Production is in-
creasing, in all textile lines, in fact,
. cases have been reported during the
‘. past week where manufacturers of
‘ certain popular brands of cloth have
, been unable to secure the expert
I help that they needed to run their
I machinery up to the capacity limit.
. The entire cloth and clothing mar-
ketissaidtobeonafirm basiswith
: a better outlook than on any pre-
; ceding date, this year. Wool and
' hides are in active demand at grad-
; ually hardening prices and there
. are many indications that values, in
, all commodity lines, have touched
f bottom and that any future change
will be toward higher price levels.
Past experience, in connection
with a real industrial revival in this
1 country, has taught us that steel and
iron are the commodities that, by
‘ their movements up or down, fore-
' shadow future industrial prosperity
or adversity. For many weeks pro-
fessional pit traders on the New
York Stock Exchange have been
soiling steel common short in the
effort to break the market but with
little success. A recent sudden rise
of $2 per ton in pig iron shows
- which way the wind is blowing in
this division of the trade.
Traveling salesmen, the country
j over, report a rapid increase in the
average size of the orders they are
taking, an unmistakable proof that
, retail dealers are beginning to an-
ticipate future needs. A general re-
. laxation is noticeable in the credit
situation throughout the country
and many plans for future business
activities are being made. Among
the farmers, ready cash is, of course.
not plentiful but the‘sale of certain
cash crops has loosened up the rural
credit situation, to a marked de-
gree, in nearly all parts of the state.
The market for farm products is
fairly active and the present out-
look decidedly favorable.

( Developments in the wheat mar-
ket the last few days has strength-
’ ened our belief in higher prices. Last
‘ week we were considerably disturb-
: ed over the decline in prices, and
yet it was only natural. We said we
could not see any immediate im-
provement of any consequence, al-
,though neither could. we see how
,prices could go much lower. Since
wthen No. 2 red wheat has gained
nearly 10 cents per bushel at Chi-
cago and five cents at Detroit, and
there is a better tone to the market
than has been in evidence for some
time. The export demand is tak-
ing an astonishingly large amounI
of wheat just now, and licking up
the major part of the astonishingly
“large receipts. It looks to us as if
the wheat price for the next ‘thirty
or sixty days will fluctuate very
largely in sympathy with the daily
export sales. But when the crest
of’thwheat movement is over, no
power on the face of the earth, ex-
‘ cept world bankruptcy can keep the
’ ‘ prices of wheat down to their pres-
ent level. The reader should not
,‘ fail to observe the adoption of the
Agricultural Emergency Relief [Act
which is going to enable furthers
‘ and elevator companies to borrow
meney on stored grain. This one
factor, we believe, will exert a large

that we are bullish on wheat. That

to see occasional price declines. We
do. But it does mean that we ex-

In spite of the facts that reports
she wwe will have a bumper crop of
corn this fall and the market at
present is dull, Detroit corn prices
advanced 2 cents last week. The
Chicago market was fairly active.
Receipts at that point amounted to
3,176 cars for the week, against 298
a year ago. Most of the sales were
made to shippers who took 2,000,-
000 bushels out of Chicago last
week.’ At the opening of the cur-
rent week the Detroit market ruled
qoiet and dull but the price staged
an advance of 1-2 cent. The market
at Chicago was steady with trade
moderate and receipts large.

RYE
There is very little doing in the
Detroit rye market and the price
remains at $1 per bushel. Farmers
should not get anxious over this
fact because Russia, Germany and
other rye—consuming countries of

Europe are very much in need of
the American supply and, if neces-
sary we believe they will pay a much
higher price than the present one.

We rejoice to announce that the
cat market is taking exactly the
course which we have been predict-
ing it would. While the gains have
not been of great importance, the
tone of the market for the past two
Weeks has been consistently strong,
and new cats are quoted on the De-
troit market‘at three or four cents
per bushel above the record low
point established some weeks ago.
Oats are quite likely to move up in
sympathy with corn and wheat, but
it is less likely to sympathize with
them in downward movements. The
simple facts are that the ,crop will
be far below requirements which
can only mean considerably higher
prices than now prevail. Our opin-
ion has not changed since our last
issue. We expect to see jobbin-g
prices on oats close to the 50 cent
mark by or before the first of the
year. And again, let us warn the
farmer who must buy cats, that
there is no time like the present to
make his purchases. Prices might ”
go a cent or two lower, which we
doubt, but neither we nor the farm-
er will recognize the low when it is
reached, and he would be wiser to

WASHINGTON, D. 0., September,
8, 1921.—Near Sept. 5 a cool wave
will be in northern part of Michigan
and it is expected to bring frosts to
northwestern sections east of Rockies'
crest. Severe storms are expected on
that part of the continent not far
from Sept. 3. Thl will be the begin-
ning of a two weeks period of stormy
weather that will reach most parts of
the continent and the rains of the

’first half of September will put the
soil in good condition for the sowing
and growing of winter grain. Near
Sept. 7 anhigh temperature wave will
cover the northern Rockies and the
valleys east and west 0 fthem. Near—
ly all storms move southeastward
from that section and they with the
storm and cool wave cross the con-
tinent from there in about four days.
Another warm wave will cover those
sections near Sept. 10 and the move-
ment eastward of all the storm feat-
ureswill be similar to those preced-
ing. For a week following this last
warm wave a great and rapid down-
ward movement of temperature is
expected, resulting in unusually cold
weather and killing frosts further
south than usual. The week center-
ing,on Sept. 19 will be unusually cold
and a large amount of rain, well dis-
tributed, is expected during the ten
days beginning Sept. 14.

THE WEATHER FOR NEXT WEEK
As Forecastcd by W. T. Foster for The Michigan Business Farmer

ning during our fall of 1922. All
countries will be affected by the dis-
aster that ls sure to come to that
great continent of the southern hem—
jSphere. As an average for all Aus-
tralia less than half crops will be
made and a famine equally disastrous
as the present Russian famlne will
result. Don’t forget that ‘I gave
warning of that great European
drouth. The Australian cropseas-m
is just now beginning and I urge the
Australians to hold all the grain they
produce this year and sell their live
stock so as to save the grain they
produce. I have successfully located
the drouths for the past three years
and I have no doubts about the Aus-
tralian drouth of 1922. Of course
that great drouth will affect the val-
ues of all the crops of all other coun-
tries,

Speculators are now depressing the
value of cotton and grain in order to
buy at low prices. Farmers should
never sell their production in the 'fall
season. They should prepare perma-*
nent places to store their grain and
cotton for winter sales. Dealers
should buy grain and cotton during
the fall and not sell till during the
Winter.

I am receiving many letters from
those who have had a bad cropseason
asking about good locations. My re-
ply is that no permanentchange of
crops will occur on this continent antl
that the crops for the next twenty-
five years~ will average as good as
they did for the past quarter of a
century. If you move you wt be li-
able to hit the bad crops of the ew
country. Every family should

Last week we were doubtful 'of
the ability of the Detroit bean mar-
ket to maintain the advances it

Doirolt

 

had made the previous week. Our
fears were well founded. The mar-
ket began to slip the last of the

week and prices have‘now dropped
from $4.75 to _‘$4.50. But despite
the decline inwathis particular mar-
ket the condition the country over is
much healthier than it was a week
ago. We stated in the Aug. 27th is-
sue that the Detroit market “would
look more encouraging if other pri-
mary markets followed suit, but
they don’t.” Since that was w1‘dt-.
ten they have. While prices were
slipping in Detroit they were mak—
ing substantial gains‘ at other
points, Chicago quoting $5.35 per
cwt., and New York, $5.70, which
have been the highest prices at these
markets for many a month. In
view of the response which these
markets have made we are now jus-
tified in looking for a. steady and
upward tone in this market from

POTATOES

Heavy receipts are weakening the
potato market all over the country.
The early part Of last week the New
York market was steady owing to
large demand from the lake region
and Canada but by the close of the
week demand had fallen off and
prices declined. Both the Detroit.
and Chicago markets received more
potatoes than they could find sale
for and prices went down. It is
felt that this weakness is only tem-
porary owing to the poor quality of
goods coming to market which vers-
ifies statements that the present crop
is poor and good potatoes will be
scarce. Our crop correspondents re-
port recent rains have helped the
crop in this state and if frosts hold
off we will have about half a. crop.
The Detroit market is easy at the
present time and there is not much
trading going on. The Detroit job—

Prices are holding steady, de-
mand is good and receipts are large
on most of the country’s large hay
markets. Most of present receipts
consist of new hay as farmers ap-
pear to be reluctant sellers of their
old hay believing they shall receive

higher prices before next spring. "As

you all know we are bullish“ on the
future of Michigan hay because of
tho high freight rates which elim-
inates the western grower as a come

, petitor on the .eastern markets. Th'o'

editor of a largo and well-known“
grain tradoiournal appears to have
the same opinion. “The west 13,,

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

The live cattle trade seems to be
gradually, recovering its equilibrium
after the glut and stagnation that
has been gripping the trade for the
last ten days” In Chicago the aver-
age quality of the offerings was so
poor. last week. that it was hard to
estimatk what highly finished ani-
mals would sell for if they were of-
feted. - Eastern dressed beef mar-
kets have been dull and draggy all
the week. and order buyers, at Chi-
cago hivs looked at" nothing but the

 

‘ age quality improves.

 

mighty poor sellers so far and no
improvement is possible until aver-
St-ockers and
feeders are dull and slow, partly ow-
ing. to the extremely poor quality of
the offerings. The outlook for high-
ly finished dry-fed cattle is ,good at
this writ-lug but dullness will be the
rule for some time to come in con-
nection with all grades of grass-fed
cattle.

Chicago and the west are getting
big runs of sheep and lambs of late
and values are lower and rather
weak at the decline. Last week’s
Chicago arrivals were almost 40,-
000 above the showing of the week
before, a fact, that makes it seem
remarkable that the market held so
well. Wyoming and Washington
sheep are beginning to show up in
Chicago and buyers are taking them
at satisfactory prices. The demand
for feeding sheep and lambs is de-
cidedly active but very few are‘com-
ing in this department of the trade.
The call for breeding ewes is strong
and active but arrivals are small in
volume. _ '

The hog market is gradually
working higher under a strong ship-

ping demand in Chicago and western,
still

markets; while receipts are
moderate they are larger than was
expected for this season of the
year. The speculative provision sit-
uation is gaining strength every
day, influenced by decreasing sup-
plies of cured meats and lard. Ex-
port trade continues strong and
active and current domestic demand
is stronger and more active than at
any preceding date this year.

WOOL NOTES

MARKED improvement is noted

in the wool market at Eastern

points. The principal demand
is at present for the finer grades.

vance of 5c per pound on fine
scoured wools was recorded in the
latest sales.

year ending June 30, 1921, show a

tity, and of 63.4 per cent in value
as compared with those of a year
ago, according to figures compiled
by the United States Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.

year ending June 30, 1921, amount—
ed to 318,235,874 pounds, valued at

of Forester, last Friday, August 26.
Hon. Louis C. Cramton, our con-
gressman, James Nicol. president of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau,
Miss Elba Morse, county nurse,

were the principal speakers. Mr.
Cramton discussed at length the
great need of economical appro-

priations. The farmers were great-
ly interested in what Mr. Nicol had
to say of the great developments of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau,
both from the financial and business
standpoint. The information as
given out by Miss Elba .Morse about
the great need for the betterment
of child welfare in this county at-
tracted much attention.

Much interest was created among
the members of the different farm
bureau locals as to who would ob-
tain the prizes as oirered to the 10-
cals having the largest attendance.
Thiebronght out about 650 auto-

/mobiles from different parts of the

county, with Croswell in the lead
represented by about 100 automo-
biles. The [awarding of the second
prize has been left to a committee
for decision for Minden City, Deck-
erville, Carsonville, Sandusky and

ance. , '
