CLEMENS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1921 $1 pas YEAR r ,fifty-six bushels of Red Rock Business Farmer Raises Record Wheat Crop Threshes Five Hundred Bushels of Red Rock from a Little Over Nine Acres HAT IS believed to be the record crop of wheat produced in Michigan this year is reported by Harry Seddon & Son, Business Farmer readers, of Mayville, Sanilac county From nine and one- fourth acres Seddon thrashed 503 bushels of Red Rock wheat, and has the affidavits of the thresherman and nine reputable farmers to prove it. _ Can anyone beat it? Mr. J F. Cox, professor of farm crops ' at M A. 0., believes this to be the record 1921 yield for the state. “Within the past three years several yields of over fifty bushels per acre have come to my knowledge. Mr. E. K. Warren of Ber- rien county, on a fifty acre field, secured fifty-five bushels of Red Rock; Leonardson and Sprei‘tzer of Allegan Oounty, nifty-two bushels. Mr. J. W. Vietengruber of Frank- enmuth secured over forty bushels on sev- eral occasions.” How it was Done The field from which this crop was har- vested, advises Mr. Seddon, was sown to barley in 1919, seeded to June clover and pastured the following summer. Later it was summer-fallowed and last fall sown to the pure Red Rock wheat at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. Mr. Seddon also sowed 130 pounds to the acre of 16 per cent acid phosphate which was purchased through the county farm bur— eau. “We usually go 011 the three-year ro- tation,” says Mr. Seddon, “clover, corn, oats and wheat.” The Seddon farm is located six miles south and west of the village Asked to express his opinion upon the matter Prof. Cox said: “The reported yields of your Mayville subscriber of 500 bushels of Red Rock wheat from nine acres, is the highest of the season for Michigan. In fact, the yield of practically per acreon a field scale, is the largest yield I have ever heard of for any season. “This year’s crop is below average and no yields com- of Mayville and is one of the oldest and best farms in the region. If other readers of the Bus- iness Farmer haVe succeeded in securing yields 0f wheat or other crops as good or nearly as good as that reported by Mr. Seddon, the Business Farmer should like to hear of it. Reports should include full details, such as soil prep- aration, rotation, fertilizer used, date of sewing, and if parable to this one have been reported.

Making the Federal Farm Loan System of More Value to Farmers (Continued from last week) HE ACUTE financial condition in which the farmers have found them- selves during last year, since the price of agricultural commodities declined out of all proportion to the sales price of manu- factured and other commodities, has called for relief from many sources. In Federal legislation it has taken the form of in-_ creasing the rate of interest to 5 1—2 per cent on Federal Farm Loan bonds which also are tax-free. The Federal Farm Loan Board found it so difficult to float their last issue of $40,000,000 of bonds that it was necessary to raise the interest rate at least 1- 2 of 1 per cent However, this does not mean that the money derived from these bonds will be lent at a higher rate than heretofore, 6 per cent In order further to facilitate the func- tioning of the 'Federal Farm Loan System a revolving fund of $25,000,000 was creat- ed in the Treasury Department which will be used as working capital by the Federal Farm Loan Board and will enable it to float larger“; issues of bonds and to continue lending money While the bonds are being floated. Under the present law the Federal Farm' Loan System cannot place a mertgage of - more than $10, 000 on any farm. An ef— fort is being made, through a bill intro- duced- by Representative M O. McLaughlin Oi Nebraska’lo” increase this amount to By EDWY B. REID $25,000. The reason for this is that in the middle west particularly where farms are very valuable and the price is high, a small first mortgage is more of a deterrent than an assistance in the financing of the farm, for it necessitates the placing of a larger second mortgage,——frequently difficult to accomplish,-—at a higher rate of interest. At the beginning of the present session a whole flock of bills were introduced for the avowed purpose of assisting in the financing of agriculture Almost every scheme which could be devised by the in- genuity of the human mind was represent- ed in the methods of financing the farmers, advocated by congressmen or accomodate- ingly introduced by him for some con- stituent. When one or two of these bills advanced so far, or the sentiment became so keen that it was plain to everybody that some legislation would have to be enacted, the bankers were tipped off to the fact that if they did not Wish the government to function to the relief of the livestock pro- ducers of the west that the banking inter- ests would have to come to their rescue. As usual, interest rates in the far west were exceedingly high and yet currency continued to gravitate to the eastern banks. Conferences between bankers and govern- ,ment oflicials In; Washington were followed ”later by similar meetings among bankers in New York and Chicago, With the result that a $50, 000, 000 pool was formed, much of the capital being contributed from the east. Its function has been to purchase cattle paper from banks which were con- gested with this sort of credit and thus as- sist them to carry credit of the cattle men and possibly to extend further credit. To date a few million dollars have been lent from this pool The move on the part of the bankers successfully checked the pro- posed legislation and assisted in a small measure of relief to the “cow men” of the west The farming interests however, do not consider the present method of Ofinancing loans running from 6 months to‘) u years to be adequate and a move undoubtedly will be made by the Agricultural Blocs in the Senate and House directly after recess to erect a new form of machinery based some- what upon the plan of the Federal Farm Loan System which will give farmers a longer term credit than seems to be possible under the present method of banking where the money is taken from the commercial pool formed largely from short time . de- posits. The disruption of the ordinary channels of export trade due to the financial condi- tion of many European countries, their re- duced buying power, the diiferential in money exchange and the altered position of the United States in (Continued on page 10) Helping Farm Women also assures highes the farmer’s best buy. 155 H.

There is something about 9,» p the ocean, whether it be a storm, a sunset, or a distant ship, that turns one’s thoughts to God. A friend of mine, who was formerly American consul to Florence, Italy, has ex- pressed this feeling in the following beautiful description which he employs in one of his lectures and gave to me before I left for Europe: “I know of no place where one is more fully 3'3 awakened to a consciousness of his own insignifi- ‘ cance in the sight of God than in mid-ocean.

A day or two later another book lay in the same chair, entitled, “Co-operation”. I looked up the owner and found him to be one Howard Selby secretary of the Eastern States’ Farmers’ Exchange, a co-operative buying and selling agency, located at Springfield, Mass. He also is intending to visit European countries to inspect the co-operative methods employed. His organiZation is of recent orig? in. It is backed by certain powerful finan- ciers of the 'east, among them such men as r "> Wood of the American Woolen Mills 00., and Fisk of the Fisk Tire Co. The same men are back of the Eastern States’ Agricultural Ex- position at Springfield, which was recently . visited by Chairman Halladay and Secretary Dickinson of the Michigan State Fair for the purpose of inspecting the giant coliseum said to be the largest in the United States. I questioned Selby upon the sincerity of the motives of these men who were financing his organization. “How far will they go”, I asked, “in encouraging farmers to engage in co-operative manufacture and buying which will compete with their own interests?” I told him of the wool manufacturing project of the Michigan State Farm Bureau and asked him how Mr. Wood could reconcile him- self to such a project. Selby admitted the - possibility of a conflicg of interests, but said that in such case his rganization would lose the support of Wood rather than be influ- enced by Wood from engaging in an enter-f prise of benefit to the farmers. Selby recited instances of where the co-op— eratives activities of (Continued on page 12) “A“... .m- I._...._... r...

Clemens.» Mich. Cutting Production THE SOUTH has tried limiting produc- tion and has found it pays. Back in 1910 the cotton growers produced eleven and a half million bales which on Dec. 1st was worth fourteen cents per pound, or 820 million dollars. The next year they produced over fifteen million bales worth On Dec. 1st less than nine cents a pound or 688 million dol- lars. ‘The same thing happened in successive years and the growers finally awoke to the £361; that the more they produced the less the total crop was worth. So they tried a cam- paign of education to induce planters to cut their acreage. All went lovely until planting tune When everyone went ahead and planted Just a little more than the year before on the theory that with everyone else cutting his acreage the crop Would be short and prices high. When the harvest came it was found that the crop* was larger than any of the five precocdingycars. The result was the cheapest cotton in five years, and virtual bankruptcy for many planters. But in the fall of 1920 a new campaign for cutting the acreage was undertaken. It had the united backing of the planters, the busi- ness men, the banks, and the press of the en- tire south. Wall Street scoffed and said that the south was infringing upon moral law by attempting to organize against over-produc~ tion. But the south went serenely On with its campaign. The acreage was cut. Then the boll weevil got in its work, and the estimate is for a crop of only a little over seven million bales which will be the smallest in twenty-five years. Result: Sixty days ago cotton was quoted eta little over 11 cents a pound. Since then it has advanced to over 19 cents a pound and going strong. Which means that out of the destitution which faced the south after the crash in prices last year will arise a new prosperity. Prosperity for the south means prosperity for the north, for the southern states are still the biggest customers of the agricultural and industrial north. - Incidentally, the experience of the south contains a lesson for the farmers of the north. 1 time will follow in the wake of a rehabili- tated Europe when many foreign markets will be closed to our doors. A surplus of a few hundred million bushels of foodstuffs will be a drug upon our domestic markets. It is well for us to be forewarned and consider . hr early season .what steps we are to take to avoid this troublesome surplus. _ The Next State Fair - VEN BEFORE the 1921 state fair had closed its doors, the Board of Managers were looking forward to the next fair ~ and ‘ p... .. W37 5“ row tions thecxhibits_were the finest and most complete over staged in the' state. The at- tendance was not as large as last year owing to the farm'ers' poorer financial condition and counter attractions on Labor day. Neverthe- less, it was up to expectations. The plans for the current year ’s fair were virtually all made before the present Board of Managers assumed office. The plans for next year will all be subject to the review and revision of the Board. While it is not likely that any important changes will be made in the fair policy because the policy in the past has proven very satisfactory, there are bound to be some minor changes efiected which will make for a better exposition and, it is hoped, an increased attendance. 0 For one thing the price of admission will probably be reduced. Considerable criticism was directed at the admission charged this year, many overlooking the fact that no other place in Michigan offers so much good enter— tainment at so low a price. But it is felt that a lower price will attract more people, and the Board is quite strongly in favor of a return to the former 50 cent admission. The agricultural members of the Board are also strogly desirous of a policy which will attract more farmers to the State Fair. It is recognized that one of the difficulties to be solved in this connection is that of housing outrof-town people after they come. But it is behaved that this difficulty can be overcome, and that the State Fair can be made so at- tractive to the farm folks that they can be in- duced 'to come from all parts of the state to attend. Certain it is that as this year’s fair was better than last’s next year’s fair will be bet- ter still. And there seems to be no good reason why, with the new Board working har- moniously with the best fair manager in the country, the State Fair should not attain to a position of excellency unsurpassed by any other institution of its kind in America, Pinchot and muscle Shoals GIFFORD PINCHloT has lengthy criticism . of Henry Ford’s Muscle Shoals offer. He objects to it on the grounds that it does not nearly compensate the government for What has already been ex- panded, that it requires of the government further additional expenditures on which Mr. Ford offers to pay only a nominal interest rate, that the value of the property for the production of fertilizer 'is secondary to its value for the production of water power, which it is charged, is the real plum Mr. Ford is after. Furthermore, “I should" be glad to see Mr Ford make money, and plenty of money, out of taking over the property of the people as he proposes to do, but not such perpetual and gigantic profits as his offer would assure". To Mr. Pinchot’s letter the Business Farm- er has replied as follows: ' “It does not make one whit of difference to us whether Mr. Ford .or John D. Rockefeller or Gifford Pinchot takes over the government prop- erty at Muscle Shoals so long as it is put to a useful purpose. We do not really know enough about the details of the proposition to take issue with your statements, so will have to assume that you have investigated the situation and know what you are talking about. “But why do you assume that Mr. Ford’s of- .fer will insure him ‘perpctual and gigantic prof- .its’? If there are such enormous profits in the development of this property why has not the government received more lucrative offers from other sources”? To which question Mr. Pinchot has made no reply.

Arbuclde protests his innocegcgof the crime and despite the damaging evidence against him, a charitable world will , hold him inno- cent until his guilt has been passed upon by a jury of his peers. But innocent or guilty of the crime of destroying life, he has al- ready been convicted of destroying the faith and respect of the ,men, women and children ' to whom his familiar face was a welcome as a friend. One could not sit through an Ar- bucklc performance without feeling that here was is man who was by nature clean, whole- some, sweet-tempered—a men of even habits and generous impulses,——-a man at peace with. the world. But the smiling mask has been stripped away and the real Arbuckle stands revealed, a man of vicious nature and low habits, to whom little is sacred except that which caters to his desires. Day by day we learn again that all men, both grcat and small, are possessed of human frailties which at unsuspected moments be- come the masters of their better selves and drag them from their pedestals of public es— teem into the mire of repugnance. We build idols today only to see them laid in the dust tomorrow. There is nothing enduring; noth- ing perfect this side of eternity. So has it been decreed by the immutable laws of the universe. But after all it is a sad thing to destroy ono’s faith in any member of the human family. The Disarmament Committee 1TH ONE exception, Pres. Harding has shown wise judgment in picking the committee to represent the United States at the coming disarmament conference. The exception is Sen. Lodge, whose record the past four years shows him to haVe a one- track mind, incapable of listening to the counsel of others, no matter how reasonable and wise. As one of the “bitter-enders” in the previous Congress. he made no attempt to conceal his willingness to sacrifice the good of his country for the sake of partisan ad- vantage. Morc recently he has shown his incapacity to grasp the needs of agriculture by his persistent opposition to almost every measure presented on the floor of the Senate for the farmers’ relief. If Sen. Lodge" has his way at the coming conference it will take no cognizance of the rights of other nations, and if he doesn’t have his way it is likely to end in a, row. How About Your Seed Oats?! CARCELY a week goes by that the State Farm BBureau does not admonish the farmers to husband their seed oats. This warning should not go unheedcd. The crop this year, as all farmers know, was the poor- est both in yield and quality that we have seen for many years. In some sections the crop was a total failure, and in others of such inferior quality that farmers will hesitate to use their own oats for seed. Consequently, there is bound to be a spirited demand for seed oats when spring approaches. "Why wait until the bulk of the seed oats have gone into the hands bf .. speculators and a fancy price put upon them before, makingarrange— ments for your supply? Every farmer in- tending to plant oats next spring should lose no time in arranging for his seed require- ments. ~ ' There are so many unemployed because, for one reason, employers can not aflord to pay the price that ldlers can afford to accept for their services—Nashville Banner.

S. Grain Grow- ers, Inc. that “If this is the same undertak- ing to which we are asked to con- tribute $10, let’s all quit.” Mr. Baruch is connected with the U. S. Grain Growers—not in an of- ficial'capacity and not on a salary basis—but pursuant to request of our executive committee he accept- ed the post of financial advisor to the Farmers Finance Corporation, the financing subsidiary of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc. The executive committee made this request of Mr. Baruch because of his outstanding ability in the fin- ancial field and because they were convinced of his sincere interest in iarmers’ financial problems and un- selfish desire to e of service in working out those problems. There are two kinds of Jewish people—— there are Jews and there are ‘Jewish philanthropists who wish to be of service and give themselves un— stintedly with no selfish motive in- volved. Mr. Baruch falls in the latter classification. He has made millions because of his almost in» fallible analysis of financial situa- tions. Mr. Baruch has expressed himself in this way, “I have all the money that I need—I intend to devote the rest of my life to doing the things that I have always wanted to do." He started out by assisting the cot- ton growers of his own states, the Carolinas and I understand that he loaned them' something over 8. mil- lion dollars to assist them in get— ting their warehouse venture started. For your further information I am enclosing a copy of a news let- ter issued some time ago which gives further information with reference to Barney Baruch. I hold no brief for Mr. Baruch but I am thoroughly convinced that his motives are sin- cere and that there is a desire to he of real service to farmers in financ— ing their problems on a business-like basis. Even if the opposite should prove to be true, it would have no bearing on the Farmers Finance Corporation, inasmuch as Mr. Ba- ruch has no official connection and therefore no vote in deciding what policy shall be pursued. In the meantime, he is giving his time and personal expenses to give such as— sistance and advice as is requested of him and steadily insists that it is work that he' wants to do and re- ' fuses remuneration. . man with a big experience offers his services to the farmers and stands four—square to all the winds that blow, should we accept those ser- vices or should we insult him by re— peating questionable statements con— cerning his business career, that have been made by his enemies and never been proved. Mr. Baruch’s own statement is that if he were guilty of accusations that have been made against him, he should be shot; if not guilty his accusers should be hushed. When he insisted upon a congressional in- vestigation of himself, the latter was accomplished—Leo. C. Moser, ‘Director Department of Informa- tion. U. 8. Grain Growers, Inc.

Q . :..»_, _____: Your subscriber indicates When a big I I‘ having mall—pox or dying with the small-pox. Some people will you that you will have small-pox in a mild form but if you die with it. will you have a mild death? The county nurse has been thrust upon us. The people haven’t had a chance to say if they wanted her or not and she is an insult to every mother in this state. They call the children “kids” and our uplifters think the mothers dont’t know any more than a goat; don’t know enough nowadays (according to the uplift- ers) when their children are ailing to send for their family physician who has a. license to practice in this state and to prescribe the treatment his patient should receive. He is not a bunco—steerer for all the hos- pitals and specialists in the state of Michigan. All a county nurse can do is send the child to some hos- pital whether you want it to go or not. If the child dies on the operat- ing table it will be a legal death the same as if it had been executed for a crime as she has the backing of our uplifters. Will some one please rise up and tell us why people lived so many years in ye olden times, years be— fore they even knew that the blood in their bodies circulated through their veins? Abraham was one hundred and twenty~eight years old when he was about to offer up his son Isaac as an offering of faith to his God but God in his infinite wis- dom provided a county nurse in the shape of a ram to save the lad from a horrible death. That is about the picture that Mrs. J. C. of. Emmet county draWs around the county nurse. She must surely be a martyr but the martyr stuff doesn’t appeal to the most of them. Now about being well born. Was Methuselah well born that he should live nearly one thousand years and not even have the help of a trained nurse to guide him in the path of health and-steer him clear of the crazy house. Oh you uplifters, you haven’t got anything on those old patriarchs yet for we only live a 190 years now at best. Bosh, we need a county nurse about as bad as a. gosling needs a nursing bottle. It is simply a duplication of work with our local doctors and that is the course of our government affairs with salaries going up when every— thing else is coming down. Regard- ing the children of the cities being so much healthier than country children, the movement of the city people belie the statement for they flock out into the country in the summer time and stake their tent on the bank of some lake containing water that has never been polluted by city sewage and they do it to get fresh air to breathe and pure water to drink—0. A. Lintz, Lapeer Coun- ty, Michigan. Perhaps, friend Lintz, we wouldn't need the county nurse, the doctor or the hospital if people of the present day lived as simply as our ancient ancestor, Methuselah. But please remember that conditions of living were altogether dif- ferent in Methuselah’s time than what they are now. When Methusela‘h was a boy he didn’t tramp a mile or two thrn the snow to school a couple hundred days out of the year or sit hunched up over a. modern type of school desk or feel the shivers run up his back when thg fire in the stove went out. He didn't cripple his feet by wearing tight shoes or ru his teeth by eating sweet-meats. So far as biblical information goes ade— noids, diseased tonsils, catarrh and corns were unknown. And when he grew to be a. man Methuselah didn’t cook his stomach in alcohol or drug his brain withiobaoco, or work like a slave or worry about the high cost of living or marry a woman deformed by tight cor- sets. He took life easily, raised a. large family of healthy children. and grew to a ripe Old age, as he should have done and as anyone can do nowadays if he wants to go into the mountains, shed all his cares and subsist upon what nature has to ofler. There was no more reason why they should have had a county nurse 3 Hethuselah’s time than that they have had railway tracks for an that was not to be discovered menial thousand years later. . to hold today an absolute essen- ‘lo considered as damphoolishness hmmmdmwmitbetothe end at taunt—mum ‘ - tell , mlllmllllllllllllgll‘llgw _, - 0-... it? nudgwafigfij YOUR ~ Idle Acres Yield Profitable Crops 751$le a a ' .1. a - int-ta” "no...” w Make These Idle Acres , Work for YOU!

Only to guess at it by noticing the pitiful endeavor of an old, discour- aged and forsaken fruit tree, in the dingy back yard of a city lot, trying to send out a “few leaves from its top-most branches, because they only are in view of the blue sky, or, perhaps, by espying a few blades of grass trying to reach the light thru cracks in a damp brick walk. How would you feel not to see and hear the soft, gentle rain falling from the heavens upon the trees, bushes and grass, and how they revel in the pure, life-giving water. Dear tillers of the soil, you have God’s best gifts, light, fresh air, and wholesome food. These are the essential things of living. You have the companionship of that wonder— rful health-giver, Mother Nature, and the 10y of possession, the posses- sion of land that is your very own, and all that grows thereon. Are not these worth striving for? By keeping close to the land Mother Earth will give you generously, of all she has. It is in the country that we appreciate most of the truth of the following lines from Robert Browning’s “Pippa Passes”: The year’s at the spring, And day’s at the mom; Morning's at seven; The hillside’s dew—pended; The lark's on the wing; The snall’s on the them; God’s in his heaven—- All's right with the world! It was my good fortune to spend a couple of days in the month of August, at the country place of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Blair, whose es- tate, one of nature’s beauty spots, comprises more than 600 acres in the beautiful hill country, near Or- ion, Michigan. ' The ride out there was teresting to one bred in the city. Going out by trolley as far as Orion, and the rest of the way by auto thru cross country roads, we arrived at the lodge, a very quaint, and pictur- esque building, designed by a De- troit architect, which looks as tho it might have been transplanted from some old Europeansuburb. We were just in time for lunch-eon, which was served on an outdoor porch, and consisted of an abund- ance of the fresh and wholesome food one likes. 'From the porch a wonder world opened before us. Three sides of it were surrounded by forest trees, oaks, maples, elms, and tall pines, a row of the latter on one side of the porch with their natural under- growth, all in nature’s keeping. Wide steps made of logs filled in between with earth, grass growu land, wind their way to the lowlands where the flower gardens are. Here a gor— geous profusion of all the old-fash- ioned flowers in the world greet the eye, beds and beds of them, laid out with cover paths between as soft to the feet as a Persian rug. Quanti- ties of these flowers are frequently sent to the hospitals within reach. Adjoining the gardens is a large water lily pond, with boat house and boat, where an hour can be hap- pily spent among the lillies. From the gardens, looking up and beyond on the hill the gardener’s house is in view with the green house and farther on the farm hous- es w-ith handsome cement barns near by for the horses and cattle. We were so fascinated with the flowers there was no time for the vegetable gardens. The owner plans in the near fu- ture, to build a fine cottage at a dis- tance from the lodge, and on the highest point‘ which overlooks Boulder Lake. The latter is com- pletely surrounded by forest trees, all of which belongs to the estate. There are a number of walks among the trees with attractive places to rest; And, oh, the quiet and the peace of it, with the sunshine and most in- “ . ‘i 3 ,x K the birds! A delightful place to read' and rest, and, perchance, to contemplate. A beautiful auto ride back to the city was a fitting climax to two beautiful days. Mr. and Mrs. Blair dispense a fine hospitality by inviting their friends out for a few days of real enjoyment. HOPE FOR EVERYONE ERE IS another comment on the “Bird With the Broken Wing."

Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay. Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay In such a jocund company. I gazed and gazed but little thought What wealth that show to me had brought. For often when on my couch I lie, In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye \Vhich is the bliss of solitude.

' ecause there was something about it depressing to my spirit. The words: The life that sin had strick— en never soared as high again, 'seem- ed full of despair. Just across on the next page is the beautiful song, “What a wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Word. He cleansed my heart from all its sin. And now he reigns and rules within.” All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. There is only one perfect One. And He has opened the way to all sin- ners. Though your sins be as scar- et or like crimson they shall be as white as wool. Numberless are the promises of God that through His blood we shall be made white as snow. I think that song should be stricken from the pages of our gos- pel hymns.

Now I expect some one to speak about hard times but there are few whc have it as hard as the pioneer.

Of course there are “gamblers 'of fate" who were will- ing to pay high . prices, that will lose out, and some who have had sickness and disaster, also those who wasted much they might have saved when wages Were high just as they have in times gone by. "The poor ye will always have with you." The farmer will survive if he sticks and has faith. His sons and daughters may be clothed simply, but what are clothes beside a clean heart mind and body.

Today is the second day of school here and asthere is a large school- house just across the street from our offices I can look out one of the windows near my desk and see the children, some of them playing and running about, others grouped to- gether apparently talking about their new studies and here and there I can see two or three together watching the others; they are new scholars and strangers at .. present shut within a few days they will have many friends. And their voices all blend together like the hum of bees. Now the bell is ring- ing and they are all running to the schoolhouse eager to show their teacher how well they/have learned their lessons in their’new books. The scene that has just passed be- fore my eyes makes me wish I was a child again and back at school. Many times when I was attending school I would get discouraged and want to stop going but I didn’t un- til I was forced to do so by poor health. I know many of you boys and girls feel the same way at times, you think you are behind in your grades or our lessons seem too hard but do not give up. You will be very sorry some day if you do. The liar-mers to tomorrow are going to be college graduates.——-UNCLE NED. OUR BOYS AND GIRLS Dear Uncle Ned—How are you getting along in Mt. Clemens?

In the ease of cotton, for instance, it has dammed up a great supply of that product in this county and the (inferential in exchange has caused the European spinners and buyers to desire to buy on a hand-to-mouth basis from stocks of cotton owned by American exporters but held at concentration points in various parts of the world. Strange as it may seem therefore, the export problem is becoming more and more one of domestic finance. Recogniz- ing this situation Congress recent- ly passed the McNary substitute to the Norris bill which will greatly extend the powers of the War Fin- ance Corporation. It may sell de- bentures to the extent of three times its capitalization of $500,000,000 and use this money for the exten- sive financing of banks and‘bank- ing institutions and co-operative or- ganization for the holding of do- mestic products prior toiexportation and advancing money on' them while they are being exported. It may also advance money upon proper collateral to alien individuals or concerns who would spend the mon- ey on the United States for supplies which they would export.

The Interstate Commerce Commission has suspended the tariff until De- cember 23, 1921,‘ says the farm bureau traffic department. It was to have gone into effect August 25. In the meantime a hearing will be held. The farm bureau traffic com- missioner will attend that meeting to protect Michigan interests. f 011 October 12 the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation will begin a drive for 150,000 members. Every county in Ohio has a Farm Bureau organized on a $10 membership basis. The Ohio Farm Bureau Fed- eration has a total of nearly 100,000 members. Secretary J. W. Coverdale, Di- rector of the Organization Depart- ment of the American Farm Bureau Federation reports that only 3 states—Pennsyl‘lvania, Mississippi and South Carolina—do not have State Farm Bureau Federations. The federation of the County Farm Bureaus in Mississippi will be ef- fective about November 1. President Warren G. Harding has been requested by the American Farm Bureau Federation to provide proper representation for American farmers in the disarmament confer- ence of the nations to be held in Washington beginning November 11. Farm Bureau leaders believe that ' it is essential that the farmer view- point be given due consideration by . the‘ conference. CHANGES IN RETAIL PRICES OF ' FOOD HE U. S. Department of Labor, through the Bureau of Labor ‘ Statistics has completed the com- pilations showing changes in the re- tail cost of food in August, in 15 principal cities of the United States. During the month from July 15 to August 14, 1921, there was an increase in all of these cities: In Rochester there was an increase of 8 per cent; in Buffalo, 7 per cent; in Baltimore and New York, 6 per cent; in Milwaukee, Newark and Norfolk, 5 per cent; in Charleston, S. ‘0, Louisville, Manchester and Portland, Me., 4 per cent; in Hous- ton, 3 per cent in Butte and Dayan, 2 per cent; and “in Minneapolis, 1 perrcent. .- ‘ For the yearkperiod August 1;, 1920, to August 15, 1921,1111“ was a decrease of 30 per ‘ccnt in mm; 28 per cent in Louisville; to per cent in Baltimore, Charleston. 8. 0., "3156“ to the great powers at nub" York. 0170 makes the export problem of knitter. and We sent for it. name 01 one so I went to his lady.

Prices were not obtain- ed from Butte, Houston, Norfolk, Portland, Me., or Rochester in 1914, hence no comparison for the 8-year period can be given for these cities. U. S. G. G.

Grain growers generally are becoming ae- quainted with the aims and purposes of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, and the farmer solicitors are feeling more sure of their ground.

Michigan county farm bureaus last July held community headings on local conditions and iii- ed the returns with the American farm, Bureau Federation for pres- utation before the Commission of- Agricultural Inquiry. Farm Bur» nu members throughout the na- tions participated in the community hearings. Mr. Anderson’s statement is de- clared to be an unbiased judicial statement, made after months of hard work and intensive study and is said to coincide very closely with points developed by the county farm an community hearings. Mr. Anderson's summary of the causes which brought about the slump in uriculture are as, follows: ~ “The causes which brought about the“ recent agricultural crisis, the principal phenomena of which was the almost perpendicular drop of farm prices, can be reduced to four (actors. These factors, in the order in which I believe they affected the situation are as follows: "let. The falling oi! of exports, particularly in beef and beef pro- ducts, pork and pork products, and on. “2nd. The very marked decline in domestic consumption, in which tho so-called buyers’ strike was a hot-or as was also the general in- dustrial depression. "3rd. The inorease in freight rates. "4th. The pressure of limita- tions of credit and discount rates." Mr. Anderson then comments at length on the cause for the decreas- d airports and the decreased con- sumption at home. He points out the disastrous eflect oi' the credit situation and particularly emphasiz- Bydne‘y Anderson es the fact that agriculture could not protect itself" by a curtailment of production as did organized in- dustry. _ Y He continues, “the general situa- tion of the farmers can be best ex- pressed in terms of the purchasing power of his dollar. During the first six months of this year as com- pared with 1913, the purchasing power of the farmers’ dollar stood at 69 per cent and was slightly higher than this for the entire year of 1980.” The relief of the recent situation, Mr. Anderson believes, lies in the improvement of the export situa- tion, the return of the industrial sit- uation to normal and the extension of liberal credit to agriculture. Mr.‘ Anderson declared his belief that the farmers’ situation has reached a turning and is improving. 11,000 HEAD OF LIVE STOCK EX- EIBITED AT STATE FAIR (Continued from. page 3) _ Herefords and the Shorthorns were evenly balanced. The most import- ant and impressive exhibit, in the beef cattle division of the fair, was made by C. H. Prescott a Sons who came down from Tawas City with a herd of more than 80 cattle which included three carloads of the fin- est Shorthorn yearling steers that were ever seen in the Detroit man ket. The Lessiters from Clarkston. Carr Bros. & Clark from Bad Axe and the Bidwell Stock Farm from Tecumseh also represented Michigan in the Shorthorn division. In the Angus division the Wildwood Farm of Orion, Mich., captured the lion’s share of the prizes, second in im- portance being the Woodcote Herd of Ionia. Martin of Croswell, Perry of Davison and the M. A. C. made very creditable exhibits in the "doddie" classes. In the Hereford division of the show two Michigan breeders, F. H. Saunders,- Eaton Rapids and Calhoun Bros., Bronson. competed for prizes. In next week’s issue a complete summary of the prizes awarded will be given, to- gether with comment on exhibits.

The Boston Board of Trade, for instance, served notice upon a certain great bank that if its president did not re- sign from the committee which was studying and aiding the co-operative movement, all its members would withdraw their accounts. Accord- ingly the president sent in his resig- nation. A manufacturer of auto- mobile tires took the letter when it was read before the Committee and upon his next visit to Boston called upon the bank president and inquir- ed the reason for his resignation. Upon being told, he said: “Very well, you may take your choice be- tween losing the accounts of the Board of Trade or the accounts of my own and affiliated companies.” The President chose,.—-he remained on the committee. 0 O O The day before we landed at Liverpool a vote was taken in the dining saloon on whether we would travel from Liverpool to Edinburg first-class at a cost of about §25 or second-class at a cost of about $6. Having read that no one travels first-class in England except no- bility, darn fools and American miI‘-' lionaires, and not wishing to be classed with such, I was perfectly willing to travel third-class, ' but was quite certain that the majority would vote for first-class accommo- dations, as there were a number of well-'to—do people on, board the boat. It was quite evident that the ship’s committee had decided we should travel first-class, and when the chairman of the committee so announced, cries of “no,” “no,” went up from all parts of the din- ing room. The chairman said, “we will take a vote and all travel the way the majority decides. The Oh- jection to travelling third-class is that the London newspapers might get hold of it, and—” He got no further. The crowd simply howled and all insisted on talking at once. One speaker announced that any person who insisted on first—class was a “darn poor Ameri- can,” and the crowd yelled its ap- proval. The chairman saw that it was all up and when he asked for a rising vote, the diners rose as one in favor of third—class accommoda- tions. and so we alh went to Edin- burgh like true Americans and not like the such who shuns everything except the best that money can buy. There was very little difference, so far as I could see, between first and third-class accommodations, and it was only after we had been in Scot- land a few days that we learned what a tragic blunder it would have been for us to have traveled first- class. I cite this instance merely to show the democratic and representative type of American citizen who com- prised the delegation which, went "to Edinburgh. S t O O Thirty-six hours before we land- ed at Liverpool we began to sight land. First, the low lying shore of South Wales poked its nose through the haze, and a little later the higher levels which mounted eventually into graceful bills at the feet of which nestled neat little towns, came into view. Then to the north we got a glimpse of the Iiish coast, barren and uninviting at that par- ticular point and showing no sign of vegetation which gives the country its name of “emerald isle." We were just too late to catch the high evening tide into Liverpool and were obliged to anchor seventy-five miles off the harbor-over night to await the morning tide, which increases the depth of the water at Liverpool thirty feet above the level at low tide, and enables the largest ships to negotiate the harbor channel in safety. But at about three o’clock the next morning the Carpal: was under motion again and at metly- ten minutes to seven as my photo. 1 Liver ' e V ' our ocean journey was at an end. traveling (Our next article will take as th the «atom house, put so on the tram, whirl us 250 miles not-Uh ward and land as in Edinburgh.)

Harrison, Michigan. — We are not in position to take the individual consignor’s wool and have it made into yarn or fabrics. That is like the old custom of tak- ing toll—it is a thing of the post. We are always willing to take farmers wool and allow it to go into the pool and we will sail to them, direct, the yarn, fabrics or other materials, at wholesale prin- _ es. As a matter of fact, we have Fleischer’s yarns to dispose of not this particular purpose. Those who are acquainted with the yarn trade . know there is none better "then Fleischer's. The same rule appliu to our method of blankets and otha fabrics. We would not have you think can this was an exception made, but it does not apply at assembling sta- tions, simply from the standpoint of bookkeeping. We prefer to mat: the advance, as it simplifies our bookkeeping. > Where wool is sent here direct we can handle the situation very nice- ly by issuing a check covering this first payment and you can turn this check over to our fabrics depart- ment in payment of whatever feb- . rics desired, if you desire to pub chase—A.

STUCCOING an old building, re- gardleSs ‘of whether the plaster is applied over old siding or the siding is first to be removed, it is necessary to prepare the sur- fiace by nailing furring strips so that a ground can be built to receive and hold the stucco. Over these strips wood or metal lath is ap- plied for the ground work. Best practice no longer favors the use of wood lath. There are now on the market a number of types of so-called metal lath .or fabric which in reality are not lath but thin steel plates so deformed that many openings, are formed in them, thus providing entrance for stucco, enabling it to clinch with the surface as applied. Wood lath, of course, may be used, but as a rule dissatisfaction, due to cracking of stucco surface, may generally be traced to the fact that wood instead of_ metal lath formed the ground work. As a rule two or more coats of stucco are applied, the first being roughened when it has partly hard- ened by scratching with some saw- toothed tool so as to provide a bet- ter bond for the next coat. To a wood structure the first or scratch coat should be applied about one- half inch thick and pressed partly through the openings in the lath. the surface is then moderately smoothed off and afterward rough- ened by scratching as above men- tioned. At least five hours or more should elapse before the second coat is applied. As a rule two coats are used for plain surface but if a more plastic effect is desired three coats are necessary. ' Portland cement stucco may also be colored. Coloring matter should be thoroughly mixed with dry sand until a uniform color results, be- fore cement is added. While all colors will fade in time, blacks are generally classified as safe, the car- bon blacks being preferable to lamp- black. Ultra—marine blue possesses the virtue' of facing evenly when it does finally lose its emery—but it cannot be classed with the more nearly permanent colors such as black, brown or ochre. Green is unsatisfactory and there is no green cement color on the market that will not fade when exposed to the light and weather. Red oxide or iron produce a dull, brick red, while a brighter red may be obtained by using the higher priced mineral tur— key red. The better grades of ochres, either American or French. may be used to produce buff and yellow. One of the desirable features of stucco is that practice combined with ingenuity of the individual worker, permits the securing of quite a. number of very desirable surface finishes. Of course, a smooth finish is readily obtained by proper troweling, although troweling with a steel trowel is not recom- mended as the tendency is to over— trowel, thus bringing too much fine sand and cement to the surface, which ultimately results in the form- ation of many hair-like cracks. A wood float finish is smooth enough. Next to this, a pleasing finish can be secured by covering the wood float or trowel with a piece of old burlap or carpet and working with a circu‘L lar or irregular motion. The slap—dash finish is another final coat, and is secured by throw- ing the last application of stucco paste or mortar against the surface. To secure desired effects this re- quires s-ome practice. Another fin- ish is known as the pebbledash and consists of throwing clean washed pebbles of uniform size into the last plaster coat while it is still soft, in fact immediately after it has‘been applied. 'r The pebbles should be thoroughly wet when thrown against the surface and will be‘ more likely to adhere firmly if they are mixed with thin, creamy-like solution of cement and water immediately be- fore being thrown against the wall surface- 01d buildings usually give more 2 {intisfaetory results under the stuc- setti i the ” Is like}. to have ended, the timbers in the framework are well seasoned and with careful work there is nothing likely to cause cracking of the finished surface. To incure maximum success, which means watertightness of the stucco and permanence, it is neces- sary to protect the freshly plaster- ed surface from too rapid drying out. This may be done by hanging wet burlap or canvas a few inches away from the wall and keeping this cov- erin‘g wet by frequent sprinklings for two or three days. Such treat- ment is particularly necessary on the sides of a building exposed to the sun and likewise when exposed to strong drying winds. Stucco is more expensive than paint but less expensive than ren- ovating an old building with new weather boarding and the regular painting that will be necessary year after year to keep it in good condi- tion. Stucco requires no mainten- ance and is more nearly“ penmanent than the structure on which placed when this is of frame. USE OF PICRIO ACID AS AN AG- RICULTURAL EXPLOSIVE (Continued from page 4) Picric acid is not affected by the ordinary temperatures which will' be encountered in agricultural blast- ing. In the tests made c‘o—opera- tively by the agencies mentioned above cartridges of picric acid were placed in a freezing mixture of ice and salt. The cartridges were left in this mixture for about six hours, at the end of which time a thermom— eter in the mixture registered six degrees Fahr. These cartridges were then immediately fired, and were apparently as completely de- tonated with a No. 8 detonator as was the case at normal temperature. The sensitiveness of picric acid decreases with increased moisture content, so that care should be tak- en to store the picric acid in a dry place,- However, the cartridges of picric acid as prepared for distri- bution can be left in moist earth for several hours, without loss of sensi- tiveness or strength. It can be stor— ed for long periods in dry places without deterioration. Picric acid should be detonated with what is known as a “No. 8” detonator or cap. Dynamites and farm powders are usually fired by “No. 6" caps, but because of its in- sensitiveness the stronger No. 8 caps should be used with picric acid. There are two kinds of caps, one fir- ed by a safety fuse and the other by an electric current. The No. 8 size of both kinds are of the same strength and either may be used with picric acid. The caps are placed in the picric acid cartridges and fired in the same way as in the case of dynamite. Both types of caps are loaded with a charge of a highly sensitive and violent explos- ive. The caps must be handled carefully and should not be stored or carried with picric acid or any other high explosive. For stump and rock blasting pic- ric acid can be used in exactly the same way as dynamite is used. The charges should be placed in the same manner, and the same number of cartridges should be used in the charge as in the case of dynamite. As has been said, a No. 8 instead of a No. 6 cap should be used with picric acid. For blasting ditches, the electric method of firing must be used be- cause the picric acid is so insensi- tive that it will not propagate. This explosive will be distributed among farmers of Michigan at the cost of putting up in cartridge form or 7c per pound, plus the freight charges from Sparta, Wisconsin to car's destination. The explosive is put up in 100 pound cases which will contain approximately 270 Sticks. One hundred pounds is the minimum amount that may be or- dered and 500 pounds is the max- imum allotment to one farmer. County Agents are getting upship- menbs to be ordered through the M. A. C.

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW USINESS is still stumbling a lit- tle, but is on the sure road to ’ recovery. From north and south and east and west comes re- ports of increased employment, and visions of bread-lines the coming ‘ winter are rapidly vanishing. Si- multaneously, however, comes an .eflort on the part of the unemploy- ed to focus public attention upon their condition in hopes that steps will be taken to put them to work. In Boston Common last week men mounted a block as did Garrison over fifty years ago, and pleaded to be allowed to work for their board and clothes. While undoubtedly this demonstration was a little far- fetched and intended to be sensa- tional, it has had the effect of awakening public conscience, and both the government and many lead- ing employers are seriously consid- ering how the many idle hands may be put to work. The demand for steel and iron products is on the gain, and more hands are constantly being added to the steel mill forces. The certain- ty that congress will give the rail- ways financial relief immediately upon reconvening has revived con- fidence in the railway situation and in the industries which supply the roads with their raw material. Simultaneously, or perhaps as a contributing factor, general improve- ment is noted in the markets for ag- ricultural products. The gain in cotton prices insures an improve- ment in the southerner’s purchasing power which is reflected in a strong- er demand for grains and manufact- ured products of the north. The prospect of an early functioning of the finance corporation presages a continued improvement in foreign demand, although the recent decline in the German mark has caused some uneasiness over financial situation. The mark is now down to loss than a cent, the lowest it has ever been quoted. Stocks and bonds responded to the general confidence displayed a week ago, but are again showing some wealmess as we go to press. Fund- ing of the railway debt is expected to do more than anything else to stimulate the demand for and the price of rail securities which would in turn have a salutary effect upon other leading stocks and bonds. It would appear that a general improvement is in order all along the line, and that this improvement will be maintained with perhaps some set-backs throughout the win- ter. If so, we may reasonably look forward to a spring of renewed pros- perity and a confidence which will take us over the hill of doubt into the valley of security. WHEAT WHEAT PRICES PER BIL.

The principal causes for this spurt in the market include the government's September forecast which was three million bushels be- ‘ low the August estimate, drought in ‘Argentina and a sustained export demand. The Argentina situation as been a surprise to the bears who have looked upon the crop to supply some of the foreign wants.

It contains last min ute Information up to within one-half hour of ( eral weeks ago acts as if it was go- ing to stay a spell, in which case an- other bullish factor will be added to an already bullish situation. The opening of the current week finds wheat somewhat easier with prices lower all along the line. A number of bearish influences have been at work which added to a per— fectly natural reaction from a too rapidlv advancing tendency brought about'the decline. Bears are making much over the decline of the Ger- man mark pointing to it as an evi- dence of European financial situa- tion, although such facts as are ob- tainable seem to show that the mark’s decline was due to pure spec- ulation by German bankers and nothing else. While it is true that export orders have shown a slight falling off, it is hardly to be expected that the export movement can con— tinue week in and week out at the rate it has been going the last few weeks. As we have stated repeatedly in these columns we expect the wheat market for the balance of the year at least to be an up and down af- fair because of the strong specu- lative forces at work on both sides, the unsettled financial condition and the heavy movement. But we still maintain that all this wheat will be needed before another crop at con— siderably higher prices than are now being offered. The position of the market as we go to press is not strong and further declines may be in order, after which the market should firm up and advance, not quite so rapidly perhaps~~but more surely. CORN Corn prices paid little attention to the several advances in the wheat market last week up to Fri- day when at Detroit there was an advance of 1 cent which only hold until the following day when prices dropped that amount. Commission houses were good sellers but there were plenty of buyers and this held the market from declining from the level at which the week opened and there was a quiet tone to the trad- CORN PRICES PER BU., SEPT. 18. 1821 Grade lDatrolt lChloagol N.

The government crop estimate of September 1 placed the amount of the 1921 crop at. 3,186,— 000 bushels or 56,000 bushels more than the yield last year which makes it the second largest crop on record. This fact alone gives the market a decidedly bearish outlook but when you stop to consider that this year’s yield of Wheat is not sufficient, ac- cording to authorities, to cover our needs until a. new harvest and corn is going to be needed to fill the gap it does not look so bearish. And another thing that works on the bullish side of the market is the fact that the greater part of this bumper yield will find its way to market on four legs. Corn will also be needed for feed in the place of oats‘that crop being small and of poor quality. The Chicago market opened, high— er the first day of the current week but before the close of the day there was a sag in prices. At Detroit the market acted about the same and at the close of the day prices were at Saturday’s level. We ’cannot see a drop of any consequence in corn prices because there are too many bullish elements at work in the mar- ket for any present bearish influ- ences to cause a sudden drop. OATS True to our prediction the gov- ernment estimate for September Foster'- Wonthcr Chart for OCT. 1921 W h m ctr-13M III. hh' 00”. 1 WASHINGTON, D. C., Septembei 17, 1921.——The coldest cold wave and the greatest killing frosts of Sep- tember are expected near Michigan in Canada not far from September 18. Frosts were predicted for near Sept. 4 in that section but not so severe as for near Sept. 17. My prediction for Sept. 4 and that no great frosts would occur in August for middle Canada this year were important successes for the forecasts. Very high temperatures. much like those of last Week in August, are expected for last week in September: Less rain is expected last half of Sep- tember than came during first half. October will bring the beginning of a. great change in the location of evaporation and that will break the great drouth of 1921. Dry weather sometimes is cauSed by a lack of se— vere storms. but real drouth that takes the moisture out of the soil is caused by“evapora.tion and this evap- oration ls caused by a special plane- tary magnetization of a large spot on the earth. If that magnetism strikes a large body of water the latter is» .M THE WEATHER FOR NEXT WEEK. { As Forecasted by W- T- Foster for The Michigan Business Farmer evaporated by the severe storms and the moisture carried to the moving lows where it is precipitated in rain or snow. October temperatures are expected to average below normal, rain about the average of the past four months, located similar to that of the past five months. Most severe stems dur— ing first and last week; coldest near , middle of month. Most severe storms and most rain during weeks center- ing on Oct. 3 and 24. No drouth fol- lowing October, but precipitation will be less than usual. The old evapora- tion forces will die slowly because there will be no new evaporation field established near this continent. The atmosphere will contain less than the usual amount of moisture but the moisture will disappear slowly. The winter storms will be less severe than otherwise they would be on account of a. lack of moisture in the atmosphere. The greatest evaporation will be in the Atlantic, south of the equator. The drouth in Oceanica. on land will begin in April and the moisture of the atmosphere of that section will be excessive but drouth conditions will not permit that moisture to precipi- tate rain. Ask aboy who has carried a magnetized pocket knife; he knows the magnetism slowly disappears.

Nevertheless the present estimate is 436 million bushels below last year’s, which indicates a shortage of the crop and suggests materially higherprices. That the trade and the purchaser of oats is beginning to appreciate what prices are in store on this crop is shown by recent ad- vances, the Detroit market quoting 42 1-2 cents for best oats as against 37 cents three weeks ago. We have said that we expect to see oats go to fifty cents before the turn of the year. We still believe it. And by ,the way, farmer friends, better not wait any longer to lay in your cats. RYE There was considerable strength in the rye market last week caused by increasing buying and prices re- sponded by advances almost daily. Chicago quotes rye at 1.09 3-4 and the market firmer. At Detroit the same tone prevails and No. 2 is worth $1.06 or 2c above last week. BABLEX The barley market is steady at both Detroit and Chicago and trad— ing is fairly good.

Seems to have quite recov- ered from its long spree and stands- firm and strong upon its feet once more. There have been no import- ant price changes in this market the last few days. Last week opened with prices at $4.65 on the Detroit market, which quickly advanced to $4.75 where they have since re- mained. The market is in good con- dition, however, supplies being light and demand uniformly good. Beans are rapidly coming back into public favor. The big canning companies are once more advertising “pork and beans," and not for several years have grocers shown the inter- est they are today. , We expect the next change in this market to be upward providing it takes place be- fore the harvesting of the new crop. If it does not then temporarily low- er prices may be expected. By judi- cious marketing of the new crop farmers can keep the‘ bean market in its present healthy condition and prevent a. return to the low prices prevailing some months back. POTATOES Contrary to our expectations the government’s forecast for September shows a. slight increase in potatoes over the August lst estimate. Au- gust. rains benefitted many potatoes, but some were too far gone to' be helped. We still believe that the forecast of 323 million bushels is above the mark, but digging time will tell the tale.

We do not expect to see higher pric- es for another sixty days at least. Within a few weeks late potatoes will be on the market and upward price trends are very rare during the opening of the late potato sea- son deal.. We cannot see how deal- ers or co-operatives can, in view of prevailing prices, offer more than from 75 cents to $1.25 per bushel depending upon distance from mar- ket for the first of the new crop. or course, no farmer will think of sell- ing more than he absolutely has to at these prices, and barring an un- foreseen movement from field to market, prices should begin to show improvement upon the first sign of winter.

Prices are from $1.25 to $2.75 per crate and from 50 to 90c per bushel. 1-—.-————- LIVE STOCK MARKETS Live stock markets, the country over, seem to be in a pivotal posi- tion, comparatively light daily ar- rivals in all markets of live animals. suitable for slaughter, tends to hold selling values fairly steady, while the abundance of forage and grain, in immediate'prospect, is .an argu- ment which those who believe in lower prices are not overlooking believe, however, that the supply of good killing stock, still in farmer’s hands is not large; the season has been ahead of time, throughout the year. so far, and growers have kept their stock marketed much “closer up” than has usually been the case. There are many men, well versed in market lore, who expect to see the tax—paying period show a reversal in form this year; they do not look for the headlong slump in values which usually characterizes the mar- kets of early December, simply be- cause prices are already far below the actual cost of production. The cattle run in Chicago, last week, was smaller by 3, 000 head than that of the week before but it was 11,000 under the record for the corresponding week, last year. The demand was far from active and all prices showed a decline from the price range of the week before Prime yearling steers came nearest to holding their own and light steers, of more mature age, ranged next in demand. The warm and un- seasonable weather made heavy steers extremely dull and hard to sell and prices for this kind scored a sharp decline during the week. Butchers cattle and canners were lower. Stockers and feeders were dull and about steady; a more act- ,ive trade is expected in this divi— sion, toward the close of the cur— rent month. The sheep and lamb trade scored» a sharp upturn, last week, as a di- rect result of a material falling off in arrivals; the holiday on Monday, ~ probably, had much to do with the decline of 22,000 head from the showing of the week before. In all divisions of the trade, packer buy- ers had sharp competition from feeders and prices were bid up from 75 cents to $1 per cwt. for anything that looked like a good feeding prospect. Killers, from. interior points, took a fair share of the of- ferings and packers had to be satis- fied with feeder quality in order to meet their pressing needs for kill» ing stock. More than “50,000 feed ing lambs went out into the coun— try from Chicago last week, being a gain of 12,000 head over the show— ing of the week before. The wool market shows improvement and the entire sheep-growing industry seems to be heading into better times. The live hog market took a head- er, last week, the week’s average, showing a decline of 35 cents, in cost, from the showing of the week before. The spread betWeen handy butchers hogs and packing weights was larger than usual, last week. simply because the supply of heavy hogs‘ was excessive. Barring same week in 1915, last week’s price average was lower than that of any corresponding week since 1.911 Chi- mgo’e receipts, last week, were 10, 000 smaller than those of the oak more ‘ of 0‘ and lag. markets only equaled 4515.000 ' huge. The recent “spell" of warm weather has kept down the demand for fresh pork but the call for cured meat products is still very impera- tive. With the early advent of cool- or weather an» improved demand for fresh pork and sausage is looked for and somewhat higher prices for live hogs. ,1 WOOL NOTES The wool market at Eastern points has shown a decrease in the volume of business since the last is- sue of Wool Notes on August 25.
