The follow- j-ing communication, dated August , 17th, throws some light on the crop Leituation in France. It was receiv- ' téd in reply to an inquiry sent by the BUSINESS FARMER to the American .~ ‘lC-onsulate at Paris: “As far as wheat is concerned, . this being nearly all winter sown, ; [little if any damage has been done, [and the French government states that the crop will be excellent both 5 in regard to quality and quantity. 1 The same remark applies to rye and ‘epelt which are also sown in the fall. Oats are reported as very ' poor both in the head and the straw. '_While barley will only give a medi- um crop. Both of these are sown in the spring and the drought prevent- ed their proper development. Po— ‘V'tgatoes are also poor, and the hay Crop was very much under the normal. In respect to the latter, the iFrench usually expect to gather a ,second crop in September, but the drought ‘lII/lllOSt parts of the coun- ._ try, will render this an impossibil- ; ‘ :lty. The forage crop as a whole has .' Buffered badly, and the situation is :.sufficiently serious to induce the 7 -government to prohibit the exporta- ,( Jtion Of oil-cake in which a consid— erable business used to be carried on." Ernest L. Ives, American Consul in charge. BEET HARVEST TO START SOON ARVESTING of Michigan beets is about, to start. The acre- age in Michigan is somewhat ' under last year’s acreage, and the total crop will probably fall short of 1920. A writer in Facts About Sugar puts the total U. S. beet pi’o— duction at slightly over the 1920 yield, but others declare that it will be less. A good many Michigan beet fields are badly affected by a blight which has turned the leaves brown and checked the growth of the root. The yield per acre, it is declared will be below last year’s. Foreign beet sugar prospects are not good, the drought in central Europe having hindered the growth of the plants. The extent of the damage will not be known, however until harvesting is completed and slicing well begun. From present indications there is little likelihood that farmers will receive more than the guaranteed price of $6 per ton. FARM BUREAU SEEKS PRICE COMPARISON OMPARISON of prices that the farmer paid for his necessities and what he got for his crops and farm products during the years of 1913 to 1921 are sought by the American Farm Bureau Federation in a price survey questionnaire which the State Farm Bureau sent out to every county farm bureau in the state September 28. Comparative tinformation obtained will be pre- sented before the Joint Congression— al Commission of Agricultural In- quiry which is now investigating the condition of the farmers’ business and what is responsible for it being in its present state. The questionnaire seeks from 10- cal authorities the price paid and re— ceived 'for representative commodi- ties on March 1 and November 1 of each year as a key to general condi- tions in Michigan throughout those years and to show Where the farm- er was standing at that time_ The county farm bureaus are asked to ascertain the price paid by the farm- er for food, clothing, household fur- nishing, production equipment feeds, seeds, fertilizer and spray ma- terial, fuel and lighting. On the other hand the questionnaire would have correct information on the price received by the farmer for various farm crops and products throughout the same period, for the purpose of comparison and presentation before the Commission at Washington. Every county farm bureau in the nation is working on the price sur- vey questionnaire in response to a request from the Agricultural Com- mission to the American Farm Bur- eau Federation for assistance of that nature. The into consideration considered representative, questionnaire _takes articles that are and it takes in the country as a Whole and all farmers.

BEAN SKIPPER GIVES BEAN ADVICE ' HE BUSINESS FARMER can do a lot to steady the bean business ‘ during the coming year. We think it is about time the farmers and dealers work more cLosely to- gether. There is nothing to war- rant lower‘ prices on this season‘s crop of beans if they are handled judiciously. The suggestion I make is that your paper advise the farm- ers not to put their beans on the market at once but to sell them a few at a time. This would make much better markets, better de— mand, and 1a better average price to to the farmers for the year. We have no more than enough beans to go round this year in this country, but we cannot expect to market six months‘ supply in two months’ time. Furthermore beans are going to pick more this year than for some time. This should help steady the market. With co- operation on the part of your paper, the farmers and the dealers we should be able to right matters.— New York State Bean Shippers’ As- sociation, per F. G. Ferrin, Sec’y.

Roquefort cheese comes from Av- eyon, a department or county in southern France. It is made prin- cipally of sheep’s milk, and ripened in caves. The steady demand in this country for the green—mold va- rieties of cheese, especially Roque- fort, has led specialists in the Dairy Division of the United States De- partment of Agriculture to experi— ment with the commercial manufact- ure of a domestic Roquefort cheese. As it would be impossible to obtain a sufficient supply of suitable sheep’s milk, cows’ milk has been used. The chief effect is to give the cheese a slightly yellower color. The tem- perature, humidity and peculiar ventilation of the Roquefort caves which are favorable to mold growth and proper ripening of the cheese, have been approximated at Grove City, Pat, in special curing rooms. Considerable cows’ milk Roquefort cheese of good quality has been pro- duced and marketed, from this ex- perimental plant. ”The Nights” Milk Producers’ Ass’n plans to am .— ufacture Roquefort. cheese. in its, , new plant at- Adrian. ,u “Arr A—AHWxx.. Trent-v4 out: Volume IX Number 6 772/9 Wofizgan BUSINESS FARM ER l October 8 1921 Michigan Crops Made Big Gains in September Beans, Potatoes, Corn and Sugar Beets all Show Material Improvement Over Previous Month HE IDEAL weather of September was worth several million dollars to the ~farmers of Michigan. It improved potato prospects by at least fifteen per cent, insured full maturity to the state’s second largest corn crop, filled out the bean pods, increased both the size and migar content of the sugar beet, and gave fall-som1 wheat and rye an ex- cellent start towards winter. Such is the encouraging substance of re- ports received from the Business Farmers’ corps of crop reporters throughout the state. The improved condition is not confined to any particular section, but seems to apply to every county, in varying degrees. Only one county, and that in the southern tier, reports late yields as below expectations. Most of the re- ports breathe the same good news and opti— misrn reflected in the following report from our Arenac county correspondent: “Beans going to market fast. mated at 340,000 acres. Sept. lst it was esti- mated the yield would be 65 bus. per acre or about 22 million busier the state. It appears that the average yield will be higher than this Digging is in progress in most counties and while some yields as low as 50 bushels to the acre are reported, there are others which run as high as 150 bushels. If the other com- mercial potato states benefitted as largely as Michigan from the September weather, the U. S. crop will probably be. somewhat higher than the Sept. 1st estimate of 323 million bushels. Late beans have just about all been pulled and threshing is in progress throughout the bean growing districts. Yields reported run from eight to twenty~five bushels to the acre. As With potatoes, the early planted beans were poor, but, the late planted crop is turn- ing out somewhat better than average. Some beans are being marketed direct from the ma- is being chine, but a considerable quantity behaved held for higher prices, which it is will materialize before another crop. The corn crop is by far the finest ever pro- duced in Michigan and will be second in size only to last year’s. In every county in the state the crop has fully ripened and husking has begun. The condition of. sugar beets is fair to good, but considerably spotted. In Shia- wassce and adjoining counties some complaint has been heard of :1 leaf blight which has caused some damage. In general, however, while the acreage is less the yield per acre will be about up to last year’s. Some pulling is in progress but in some Sections the crop will be left in the ground as long as the mild weather stays with us in hopes that it may be “sweetened up” a bit more. Most beneficial results of fine weather con- ditions in September are seen in the large amount of plowing which was done and the rapid growth of Threshing nearly over. Yields 300 7 a ' I.

European Drought Stimulates Demand for American Dairy Products NE Oli‘ the effects of the European drought was to destroy pastures and reduce the milk supply in the finest dairying districts of France and England. As a con- sequence Europe is again a large purchaser of American dairy products. Exports of condensed milk which had dropped from 25 million pounds in August of last year to 10 million in May of the current year, arose again to over 30 million pounds the past August. The thing that contributed most to the stagnation in the dairy business was the accumulation of manufactured dairy products as a result of the stoppage of export business. Now that Eu- rope has used her surplus supplies and drought has cut short her current supplies, we may well expect a steady revival in export busi- ness and a consequent stimulation in domestic trade and prices. Other interesting export news 18 given in a. report by E. G. Montgomery, chief foodstuffs division of the Department of Commerce, in the Commerce Reports for September. Chief among these items is that pertaining to the movement of wheat, about which Mr. Mont- gomery says: “The total wheat exports from the United States. including flour as wheat, exceeded 66,000,000 bush- els in August. 1921, as compared with 32,000,000 bushels exported in August of last year. The high- est previous record for one month was made in / 1920 when 43,000,000 bushels were exported in ()ctobe1. A total of 9(5,ooo.ooo bushels experted since July 1 is nearly o11e~l121lf the estimated ex- DOI‘tIlble surplus available from the new crop.

It is probable that the ability of the United States to finance the business is a large factor in this trade. “The exports of corn, including corn meal as corn, which established a record export of over 15,000,000 bushels in July reached almost l4.000,000 in August, compared with 1,292.015 bushels in August, 1920. The average pro—war shipments for August were usually between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 bushels. Exports of Meat, Milk, and Dried Fruits “Meat and meat products exports still continue in relatively large Volume, the total exports for August b-ing about three times the experts for August, 1 20, and are about twice the pre—war exports. Lard, bacon, hams, and shoulders make up the bulk of theSe exports. “Dried fruits are moving well in the export market as compared with last year, while canned fruits show practically no change. “The export value of agricultural products for the first time this year equals or exceeds the export value for the corresponding month last year. While the total volume of exports has been larger. the value from January to May was little more than half the total value for the same period of 1920. However, the increased volume of exports which began in May this year has resulted in a total ex- port trade in agricultural products actually ex— ceeding in value the exports for August, 1920, though the average price is‘only about half as much.” | 4 (84) THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS 'FARMER " October 8,. 1921 Republicans Denounce Fordney Tariff Bill Declare American Valuation Plan if Adopted Will Destroy Foreign Trade EADING Republican merchants and news- papers are up in arms against certain sections of the Fordney tariff bill, claiming that its adoption in its present form. will ab- solutely prohibit the importation of foreign- made goods and destroy our foreign markets for our surplus crops. An appeal has been sent out to the farm press by the Chicago As- sociation of Commerce urging it to (go—operate to bring about the defeat of the bill. Among the outstanding Republican papers which have voiced their opposition to the Fordney bill are the Chicago Tribune and the New York Journal of Commerce. ’The principal objection to the bill is based 0n the “American Valuation Plan” which provides for the levying of duties based “up— on the wholesale selling price at which domes- tic merchandise is sold in the principal mar— kets of the l’nited States,” instead of upon the foreign purchase price as has always been the case in the past. For instance. as pointed out the Chicago Tribune: “Under the present system, say. an item in laces is imported costing $1 in the country of origin. There is. say, a duty of 60 per cent and transportation costs of 20 per cent. The im- ported article goes on sale at the same price. giving 4‘5 cents for handling and profits. Thus things are equalized. They remain on a com— petitive basis; this has a salutary effect on pr1ces. “Under the Fordney bill’s proposal, however. it would work out, like this. The customs ot‘f'i- cials would put the American valuation of $2.25 on the imported article. A duty of 42 per cent would be figured on this amounting to 94 1—2 cents. Transportation charges of 20 cents would run the cost of the imported article at the time of unloading up to $214 1-2. “The margin for handling and profits is so small that it is prophesied the importer would stop importing; foreign competition would van- ish; up prices would shoot. Also by shovmg up his prices. the American manufacturer would be able to increase automatically the amount of duty, because the rate is figured on American value. He could advance his article from $2.25 to $2.50. This would make the customs on the imported article $1.05 instead of 04 1—2 cents. Held. Blow at: Farmers "l‘hose who are opposing this kind of taritt- by a writer in making while i-eatlirming their faith in a, pro- tectivoitaritl'. allege that: the .ltlordney bill would shut off foreign imports and leave the American consumer at the mercy of the American manut'acturer. They argue that adoption of the bill would at once increase the. cost of living to a large extent. But the direst. effects, they declare, will fall upon the American farmer, for “America is primarily an agricultural nation. Our farmers and our crops lie at the. basis 'of our prosperity.

Of farm crops and raw materials, we have a great surplus.-—our only markets for this surplus are abroad. “When foreign markets are shut to us, we have an over—supply and lax demand. We face that condition today. * * "'t An outlet; fer our surplus crops will go far toward reviving business in America. Enable Europe and the rest. of the world to buy from us, and the great farm market now stagnant, will reawaken. “hen the farmer buys, our wheels of industry “'llll'l' and business is good. “But other nations cannot buy except with merchandise. They have no gold. * * * Only by our buying the products of. foreign nations can we give them buying power to absorb our sur- plus products. When we import, then we. can export; when we export we convert the crops of the farmer into cash; when the farmer has cash, he buys; when the farmer buys we have pros- perity.” America Wants Fair Tariff The source of the opposition to the Fordney bill is of singular weight and importance be- cause it comes from men of Mr. Fordney’s own political party and Who are committed to a “protective” tariff. “The American peo- ple” say these men, “want and expect a fair protective tariff to be passed by Congress, en- abling all industries to pay a fair wage com- mensurate with our standards of living. But. there is as great danger in a tariff too high as too low. *‘* * it A just tariff is not only the life of trade but a protection for all the peo- ple. An excessive tariff which will obstruct our foreign trade and hinder prosperity, 110w- ever, will keep factories closed and people out of work”. _ The American farmer is asked to oppose the Fordney bill upon the grounds above stated. The matter is one of extreme importance to all farmers and they should lose no time in get- ting in communication with their senators and congressman. Farmers Borrow Through U. S. Finance Corporation HE WAR Finance Corporation has an— . nounced further details regarding the loan of $15,000,000 which the Corporation has agreed to make to cooperative, associations of grain dealers in Minnesota and South and North Dakota. The association is the Equity Cooperative Exchange, a cooperative corporation with gross assets of approximately $4,000,000, which markets, on a cooperative produced by its members. The loan will be secured by registered ter- basis, grain minal warehouse receipts representing the grain to be marketed, and will be in an amount up to 60 per cent of the value of the gain. The Exchange will agree to maintain this margin until the lien is repaid. The funds advanced by the \Var Finance Corporation to the Exchange will be used by it in making corresponding advances to its members. After the grain is marketed by the ltlxchange, the, proceeds will be devoted, first towards repayment of the War Finance (diorporation's loan, the balance being, pro- rated among the farmer—members of the Ex- tnange in proportion to the amount of grain supplied by them. The money will be advanced from time to time as the grain treaehes terminal ware- houses and all advances will mature not. later than ninety days from the date of the ad "ance and will be discounted at the rate of Six and one half per cent per annum.

A Visit to Dalmeny Estate During my stay in Edinburgh I was given quarters at the, home of a Congregational min- ister who kept a sort of boarding house for a number of students in attendance at a local theological college. One fine evening the reverend gentleman and his wife took me as their guests on a. bus tour which took in. some of the outlying districts around the city. The roads in Scotland, as indeed all parts of Great Britain, are from good to excellent though exceedingly narrow. It is of the world, and Harry Lauder, the Scotch singer, quite frankly dis cussed the failure of the Itlited States to come into the League of Nations. None of the speakers rep- resenting Great Ri'tain made any attempt to conceal, their eagerness half-mixed with anxiety, for a closer bond of friendship between the United States and Britain. plain that they were never construct- ed for automobile traffic. Automo— biles are few and far between. One reason is the high price of imported cars. a lt‘ord which sells in this country for $450 being priced at over $1,000 in Scotland. Another reason is the high cost, of gasoline. \thn I was in Scotland gasoline was selling for about St) cents a gal- lon and cylinder oil at $2.50. Fur— thermore, the British government Scottish Agriculture It was my intention while in Edinburgh to visit some of the nearby rural districts and learn something of Scottish methods of agriculture. This I was not permitted to do, however, to any ex- tent owing to the limited time at my disposal. Moreover, I learned that there were no typi- cal farms within driving distance of the city, most, of the immediate outlying lands being devoted to golf links or large country estates, or the soil being too poor to raise crops prof- itably. The only “farm” which I visited was really not a farm at all, but a country estate comprising several thousand acres, belonging to the Earl of Rosebery. Of my visit to this place I shall speak later. From an organization standpoint Scottish agriculture is way behind the times. One of the reasons for this is the comparatively small number of people engaged in farming.

The soil of the lowlands in the southern and southeastern counties is quite fertile, such crops as wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, mangcls and some fruit being raised in great abundance. The co-opc‘ative movement in Scotland so far as it affects farmers is of comparative re— cent origin, but I was told by the Secretary of the Scottish Agricultural Organization Society that the farmers are taking a great interest in co-opcrative enterprise and that new associations are being organized all over Scotland.

At least this is what has happened on 3,200 farms in the United States where purebred sires are used. The results obtained in the “Better Sires— Bettcr Stock” driVe of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, cooperating with the States, show that the cattleman who pur- chases a purebred bull finally acquires on an average 7 purebred cows besides the grade cows which he keeps in his herd. In the case of swine and sheep, for every purebred male used there are about 8 purebred females, while in the case of poultry the proportion is 1 to 13. For horses the ‘atio is not so large, larger animals, including cattle, horses. swine, sheep and goats, a. total of 150,832 animals have been enrolled by 3,243 owners. Of this number 8,021 consist of purebred males and 30,213 are pedigreed females, while the bal— ance consist of grade crossbred, and scrub fe— males. A total of 238,122 chickens. turkeys, geese. ducks, and guinea fowls haVe also been enrolled. Of this number 12,346 are purebred males. 150149 are purebred females, and the remainder are poultry of grade, crossbred, and scrub or n'iongrcl parentage, A Nevada stockman reports. “My steers (from purebred sires) weigh 100 pounds more at 2 years of age than similar scrub animalas will “If I had $3.000 to start a herd declares a North ("arolina dairyv least 50 per cent of I claim to have the weigh at three.” of good cattle," “I would expend at the bull. man. this amount for best bull in this state and believe that large sums of money devoted to the purchase of superior herd—headers is money well invested.” “Use big. rigorous sires and feed well." another breeder urges. “Ascrub can not, be expected to produce growihy and typy progeny.” A Pennsylvania, dairyman who is a member of a co»operativc bull association states in a letter to the department. “I have been a member of the Grove (‘ity Holstein—Friesian Bull Associa— tion for 3 years and believe that membership in such an organization is one of the best invest— ments a small breeder can make. I do not be- lieve I would ever have started raising pure-bred stock had I not joined this association. I now own 3 purebred females and sold one bull calf for enough to almost pay for all my interest, in the club.“ “l’se purebred stock. at least pure- bred sires.” is the comment of a stockinan who adds. “lusep less stock, give them better care, and make twice as much money." Developments in the lwttcr—sires movement provide figures of relative number being 1 to 2, yet the principle of securing purebred dams to go with purebred sires still holds true. At, this time more than 3,250 live stock owners are co—operating with the State Agricultural Col- lege and with the United States Department of Agriculture in a country-wide campaign to improve the quality of domestic live stock by the use of good purebred sires. The trend toward better live stock is shown in a very striking way of purebred males and of all f9- males kept for breeding pur- poses. Thc ratio between the number of sires and dams has ,_ been worked out to cover the 400,- 000 head of live stock listed With the United States Department of Agriculture in the proportions as follows: Cattle, 1 bull to 17 5-10 cows; horses. 1 stallion to 17 2—10 mares; swine, ] boar to 11 1—10 sows; sheep. 1 ram to 32 2—10 ewes; lbuck to 23 9—10 does; goats. by the total figures .I'de‘e- (:hampion Junior Livestock Judges.

Noozak was a thoughtful old mother of a bear who had reared fifteen or eighteen families in her time and she traveled very little this first day in order that Neewa’s tender feet might toughen up a bit. They scarcely left the fen. except to go into a nearby clump of trees where Noozak used her claws to shred a spruce that they might get at the juice and slimy substance just under the bark. Neewa liked this dessert after their feast of roots and bulbs. and tried to claw open a tree on his own account.

If paradichlorobenzene does What is claimed for it, it will not only somewhat lessen the amount of la- bor required to keep the peach bor— er down, but it Wil also greatly re- duce the danger of carrying disease infection from one tree to another. during this tedious operation. The substance in question appears as crystals, something like ordinary granulated sugar, but with an odor that is quite disagreeable and rather unpleasant. It has the property of vaporizing directly from the crystals at ordinary temperatures and the vapor which is given off freely at about 80 degrees Fah. is_five times heavier than air. When some of the material is buried in a shallow trench its vapors penetrate and per- meate the soil round about for some distance. This vapor is, fortunate— ly, poisonous to insects and in ordi— ary doses it does not injure peach trees that. have reached the age of six years. Sometimes younger trees may be successfully treated but not with the same assurance as in the case of older trees, because the younger trees do not seem to stand the treatment well. The tree is prepared for the appli— cation of this material by the re.- moval of the grass and breaking the crust of the soil. No deep stirring should be attempted. This cleared space need not extend more than six inches in each direction about the tree. If borers are working above th; soil level it will be necessary tr heap the soil up over their tunnels as only the ones beneath the ring of chemical will be affected. Then sprinkle an ounce of the crystals in a narrow ring around the tree at a distance of half an inch or an inch from the trunk. A few shovelfuls of soil should then be spread over the crystals and patted down with the, shovel. In order for the gas to penetrate freely and to accomplish its purpose the soil should be dry and porous. Furthermore the cry» stuls will not vaporize at all well un- til] the temperature becomes at least 64) degrees Fab. or above. The limo of application seems to be somewhat a matter of opinion as yet. The New Jersey Station rec— ommends that the application be made the last week in August or at any rate before September 10. Ap- plications made in June and July are very successful in killing the summer brood but it is possible for borers to gain entrance in the soil after the gas has dissipated. It is furthermore, not recommended, as yet to apply more than one treat— ment during a. season because of the possibility of causing too great a strain on the vigor of the tree. and October 8, 1.921 ‘ in the case of very young stock, the material should be pulled away from the tree a few weeks after the ap- plication is made in order to~avoid injury. In conclusion it appears to the writer that the use of this material is still something of an experiment although pretty fairly uniform re- sults have been obtained in most cases when used against the pea-ch borer. When carefully applied it seems to be pretty fairly safe and effective. However, we will be more sure of the results after a year or two of further experience with the materia1.———R. H. Pettit. Entomologist of Experiment Station, M. A. C. AGRICULTURAL GYPSUM AND THE POTATO T IS well known that the potato uses a very considerable amount of sulphur and that gypsum sup- plies this material. It has been es— timated that potatoes consume about twice as much sulphur as phos- phorus. Gypsum and other sulphur sourc- es are found to be very valuable in connection with potatoes. Pro- fessor Jacob Lipman, director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, states that he is getting very large increases in the yields of potatoes from the use of sulphur on them. He is applying the sulphur in the hill and finds that it pre- vents scab. lncidentally the {sul- phur is giving these increased yields because it, supplies the needed food to the plant. The horticulturist at the Oregon Experiment Station said he noticed the same effect upon the potato. Larger potatoes and bet- ter tubers resulted from the use of sulphur. Now, of course, gypsum supplies sulphur in another form, in fact, in an immediately available form. Dr. Lipman states that he gets similar excellent results from the use of sulphur materials on tomatoes. This plant belongs to the same family as the potato. Tobacco, also a mem- ber of the same family, has been shown to be greatly benefitted by sulphur materials. It is possible that this whole family, all members of the nightshade family, are high sulphur users and would be bene— fitted by gypsum. In many potato regions it is cus— tomary to roll the cut potatoes in gypsum before planting. They say out potatoes thus treated can be kept for days without great injury. When they are planted in the soil. of course, the gypsum would be handy for absorption by the roots and will benefit the potato by sup- plying sulphur.—Dr. William Crock— er. Have A11 Object.

October lSih, will be :in important one in many rcspccls. ‘ Lust yczu‘ at His time the producers were still muting war—limo prices; the Dctroit (‘ommission was functioning us well :is it cvcr functioncd; condcnsurics were still running and paying fair priccs for milk. Farmers wci-c gcncrully satisfied that they were faring us wcll us could be cxpccicd. and their officers were content to let thcm believe so. Since thcn everything has changed. The Commission rcfuscd long since to be dictated to by the distributors and quit; the condon- sarics are closed or running part time; prices are way down below cost of production; and dissatisfaction abounds on all sides. (lommon sciiSo tells us that no state organ- ization of farmers could have maintained prices at their lcvcl of a year ago. The causcs which brought about thcir dccllnc wcrc intcrmiiionzil in thcir scope and ii’itcrnationul in ihcir cffccis. But the blow might have been cushioncd. it is noicworihy ilizit in localities whcrc farincrs wcrc cngugcd in the actual sclling of their dairy products priCe dcclincs wore not. so drastic as clscwhcrc. A plaus~ ible explanation for this lies in the fact that many distributing compunics having a mon- opoly of thcir ficld took advantage of tho world—wide dcflzition to unduly depress the pricc to the farmers, who, fziccd with tho couipctition of othcr farmcrs outside thcir nrcu. wcro powcrloss to rcsist. Moreover. the profits of manufacturing and selling have helped mutcrinlly to reimburse farmers cn- gngcd in those activities for their losses sus- taincd in the production cud. As it was in Michigan however, the sud— den drop in prices found the producers’ as— sociations wholly unpreparcd with not a sin- gle plant in existence to take care of surplus, with not a single dollar invcstcd in rccciving stations, with not a single weapon of dcfcnsc against those who controllcd the farmcrs’ markets. The Business Farmer takes no pleasure in criticizing the policies of those who have guidcd the Michigan Milk Producers’ Ass’n. It rccognizes that it is something of an achiev- mcnt to create an organization of 19,000 mem- bers. It is also an achievement to build a bridge, but what a monumental waste of time and labor if it is never to be used! The rcasorx why the Michigan Milk Pro- ducers’ Ass’n has accomplished so little of permanent value for its membership is be- cause its leaders lack the vision and courage necessary to blazing new trails. They prefer the beaten track even if it does lead right back to the spot where it begins. They are able enough men. They could if they would THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER make the Michigan Milk Producers’ Ass’n the most successful dairy marketing organizatiou in the United States. And they would and they will if the 19,000 members stand right up in meeting and tell them to do so. We said that everything had changed since a year ago. But we must Qualify that state- ment. The policies of the producers’ associa- tion haven’t changed, and the tactics of the distributing concerns haven’t changed. The Association is still at the old army game of marking time and the distributors are still taking the same old toll out of producer and consumer. The. next meeting of the produc- crs might wcll mark an epoch in the history of the association if thc mcmbcrs would only insist on the adoption of some new policies which will put ihcm in control of Tho Detroit situation and take into considcraiion the wel- fare of the farmcrs outside of the Dctroit area at the same timc. The opportunity comes October 18th. How many producers will be prcpm'cd to seize it?

The ihcory is correct only whcn our surplus crops can all be sold abroad. During the war it sccmcd as if we could not producc cnough to satisfy the 'insatinblc dcmnnds of Europe, and a large surplus was movcd as l“21(llly us a small one. But during normal iimcs. as cx— pcricnce has provcn. :1 small surplus ovcr the total of both domestic and forcign rcquirc- incnts, raiscs havoc with the murkct and in the majority of cuscs returns to thc furnicr lcss moncy than a. smaller crop. Thc Tiilcmi'y Digcst rcccntly rcprinicd an article from the llusincss Enrmcr upon this subjcct, and in his introduction to the article, ihc cditor of that, cxccllcnt publication crron— cously stated that “predictions of bumpcr crops are being huilcd as a forcrunncr of prosperity”, clc. The, statcmcnt was incor- rect in that no bumper crops, aside from corn, have bccu harvcslcd or are in prospect this year. All crops are below last year’s, and with the single exception of corn, all are be- low the 191549 average. Those who are de- pendent upon the farmer, and that means all of us, should rejoice that production has been _ adjusted to the lowered demands, thereby in- suring a sale for all our crops and a fair price to the producers. The history of bump. er crop years should be enough to convince us that as a general rule bumper crops do not pay. It is not more coincidence that the largest crops in each ten—year period have pre- ceded by one or two years nearly every finan- cial disturbance in this country. October 8, 1921 With Their Backs to the Wall HE GRAIN trade is on the defensive and fighting for its very life. .Six months ago it scoffed at the idea of a farmers’ national grain marketing organization. To day that organization is a reality and the grain dealers realize that they are up against the real thing. Indicative of the alarm in the grain dcalers’ ranks, is the following state- ment published in a recent issue of the West ern Grain Dealers" Journal: “Without doubt the biggest problem before the grain dealers of the country is the co-oper- ative movement being fathered by the U. S. Irain Growers, Inc. The Grain Dealers National Association was the author and booster of the plan to spread propaganda showing the faults and imprac-ticability of the grain growers plan. Further consideration will be given to the Grain Growers scheme at the annual meeting and it is of utmost importance to the organized grain trade that propaganda be continued to discredit the farmers movement.***** Every grain man who has the interests of. the industry at heart should give his support to the annual convention so that its resolutions and its recommendations will he backed by the largest gathering of. grain men ever held." No one knows bcttcr than the farch and 1hc mcn thcy have hired to put across this marketing plan the obsioclcs that will have to bc ovcrcomo bcforc the plan will be able to justify itself. In fact. there arc some doubt- crsg—among the, farmcrs. But no longcr among tho groin mcn. Thcy scc in the U. S. (lru‘n irowcrs' lnc., the possibilities of a supcrior mcthod of murkctiug grziin. ~And that is prcciscly the reason thcy are fighting. Quality in Farm Products 6‘ ARMERS don‘t dcscrvc any sympa— thy”, said a farmer to too the other day. “if they would pay some attention to the quality of their stuff they wouldn’t have any trouble getting a good price for it”. \Ve don’t; altogether agree with this senti- ment, but coming from a mcmbcr of the pro- fession it deserves some thought and comment. The only way that a farmer may secure :1 premium price for a quality article is eithcr by following it to the door of the consumer, which most of thcm haven’t the timc to do, or clsc pooling with other quality producers and selling under a quality brand. But it is folly for a. farmer to use extra care and cxpcnsc to produce a high quality article if that article is to go through the regular channels of trade and lose its idcnt‘t; among other goods of in- fcrior quality. Every l'Till man takes a (‘t‘l'< min pride in doing something a little bcttcr than his neighbor, but if his painstaking cf- forts are not recognized and rcturn him no compensatory rewards, he soon loscs intcrcst. \Vhen quality products can go dircct from tho farm to the consumcr without impairment it will pay the formcr to produce thcin- ’nit the present methods of mmkcting most farm products discouragcs quality production, if indccd, it docs not actually put a prcmium upon mcdiocrity. Let the furmcrs of Michi- gzin dcvisc a plan for putting their produce di- rcctly into the hands of the consumer, and quality will comc into its own. New Credit for the Farmers llE STATEMENT recently made in a number of "farm pupcrs that the farmers cannot bcncfit dircclly from. the \Var ll‘inuncc Corrmration’s l’iillion-dollur loaning rcsourccs, is only partly truc. They cannot go as indi- viduals to the Corporation and borrow mon- cy. They can go to their bankcr, and if their security is good, borrow money which he in turn may secure from the Corporation. But more important still, every member of a co- operative marketing association, who can give crops for collateral, may have access to the funds of the Corporation. Already some millions of dollars have been advanced to western co-operative associations which in turn have apportioned the money out to their members. Farmers in this state have not suf- fered so greatly from lack of credit as their western brothers, but those whoore having difficulty borrowing enough to tide thcm over until they sell their crops, can through their (co—operative associations, secure relief from the "War Finance Corporation. dfidtddAi—nA. USDQHL-M-h 9 H. 5 Baghdad- n: 9325qu Octobér 8’,“ 1921 THE MIhHIG'AN BUSINESS FARMER Wht teh TAXES AND EFFICIENCY AM A constant reader of the M. i B. F., and find it always inter— esting and instructive. I am par~ t'icularly interested at the present time in the discussion of the coun- ty nurse proposition. We had the proposition up in our county. It has been turned down so far but of course we will event- ually have a county nurse because the dear people do love to be hum- bugged. I consider it an attempt to add to the already large number of parasites living off the people. Everybody agrees that taxes are ex— orbitantly high but, few seem to an— alyze the situation and point out Where reduction could be made. I believe there are, many reduc- tions that could be made without detriment to the public service. For instance, why should a county pay $2,500 to an agricultural society or a like amount to a county agricu» tural agent with any more reason than it, would subsidize a carpenter's union or a. bricklayer‘s union? \Vhy should me have a county agricultural agent to help the Farm Bureau in its work any more than we should help the lrange or the Gleaners or F. 0. id. or any other organization that might apply. lie cause we benefi by an action is it less culpable? One way to expend public money is to send public servants to one or more. conventions during the year We send our fire chiefs to a fire- men’s convention: our street com- missioner to a convention of com— missioners; our superintendent of schools to a convention of superin» rtendents and our commissioner of schools applied for money to attend a national educatinal convention. We are a. long way from the max- im of Thomas Jefferson that govern- ment is the best that governs the least. , Thousands of dollars were squan- dered on roads during 1920 by pay- ing war time wages to laborers who wouldn’t work when every dollar would have gone twice as far this year. The spectacle of two county commissioners combining to prevent the third commissioner from doing work the people elected him to per form and the faculty of an agricul» tural college engaging in a factiona‘ fight. instead of working to advance the interests of the state and college are two illustrations of the way public business is done to excitt comment. Every new office we create adds a booster for the present way of car- rying on the public business, while if we legislated a few officers out of existence we, would get more ef- ficiency from the rest. Instead of adding to their satur— nalia of waste and extravagance. why not devise some way to get more efficienCy from the outfit we already thave. K. S. W., (Tliarlevoix County.

If you keep on talking like that. you‘ll get somebody mad at you, and the otticealioldcrs will organize a union or something. No doubt about it, though, friend. There ARE too many holding office, and too few earning their salaries. lint let's not abolish the county nurs): lleiiltli comes first, no matter what it costs. The county agent, hired at public expense. should be, and so far :is I know, is thi- agent of all the fari‘ni-rs of a county re— gardless of their affiliations. There is ‘no reason why the County agent should .;be more active in the interests of the ' Farm Bureau than of any other farm or— ; ganization, unless the Farm Bureau pays for his labor. Some day the taxpayer lWill be relieved of the expense of. the county agent, and it will be borne en- tiely by those who accept his Services.— Editor. I CAVEMEN AND BRUTES l HE RUSSIAN government did not cause the drought, but it con- ersses that it misunderstood con— Distress has come in human history to many nations, including the Roman Empire, from the same cause. When American farmers read city dailies, they find an ignorance as profound as the ig— norance of the Russian or the. it')— man government c u 'l l‘ loin i i l . ditions on farms. l l l l l l The ignorance is not without a touch of prejudice or spite. Tht prejudice vanishes when food short— age threatens, as in war time. The ignorance will persist and will oblige farmers to take political and economic responsibilities that they would rather leave to others. An editorial in the Chicago Daily Tribune of August 30 is not ex- treme; it is merely an example. The editorial states that “\Vitliout tlu city population the farmer would be plowing with a stick. He would not have the chilled steel plow. the reaper, and the threslier. to say nothing of the tractor. the anionic» bile, the telephone, the trolley. the railroad, the gramoplione. books store clothes. the movie. the news, paper, or any of those anieliorations of the mere animal existence which he enjoys in civilized countries.’ The editorial adds that the city man includes the inventor. “lie labors in the sweat of brain and sinew to produce those useful and life on— ricliing devices which the farmer covets, which mitigate liis toil, and 'aise him above the level of the caveman and brute.” The credit for complex llly'l’il- tions is commonly not ewsv to de- termine. Probably the editor or the Tribune does not have in mind any particular city map as the in» ventor of the automobile. My au- tomobile suggests a name that has someplace, in the automobiles his- tory. and Henry Ford is not a pro- duct. of the city. The telephone and the grainophone remind me 0; Thomas A. Edison. who is not. a city product. A paper with relations tc capital derived from McCormick reapers should know that the inven— tion of the reaper is credited to two farmers. father and son. (‘i‘ty men were not needed to raise Cyrus Mc- Cormick above the caveman and the brute or to keep a modern farmer from plowing with a stick. The city man is not the only inventor. The newspaper and the movie are not great parts of a fill‘lllf~‘l"s life but. sometimes he reads a book. If it is by a recent American author. it can not be by anybody of better standing than Mark Twain or \\'il~ liani Dean llowells. These were not products of the city. They are enough to suggest that the city can not claim all of literary history from Homer down. ‘ George \Vasliington and Abra- ham Lincoln were from farms. Dan- iel Webster and llenry (‘lay were from farms. General Grant and General Lee were from farms. The sculptors psalmist greatest of cmitemporary was a shepherd, like the David. The fill'lllel’ has a rightful share in civilization above more an inial existence. He will keep it. In older civilizations. nobility and ness in which they can engage is farming. Primarily they are farm» ers. Kings have pride in their live stock. in their crops, as George \Vasliington had in his. Fact, is against, the Tribune's editorial.

The following article \‘as clipped from the Review of Reviews for Sep- tember: Schools of ("itizcnship “It. is interesting to note that the national movement for uniting wo- men’s organizations and colleges to teach citizenship, of which Yale now becomes a sponsor, has been inaugu» rated not. in the West. where wo— men have long been voters, but in the East, where they are compara- tive newcomers in politics. “In July, 1919, more than a year before the ratification of the feder— al woman suffrage amendment gave the ballot to the women of New Hampshire, the New Hampshire State (‘ollege and representatives of the leading women‘s organizations of every kind in the state united in opening a week's citizenship school at Durham. The college dormitor» ies were opened to the visitors and from all over the state there pour— ed into the little town farmers’ Wives and city women. industrial workers and professional women suffragis‘ts and anti—suffragists, all animated with the common desire to make themselves into the best kind of citizens. “So novel was the venture that correspondents were sent to the school for metropolitan newspapers to write up the amusing episode of grown women going back to school. One of the best known humorous writers of New England was sent with a cartoonist by one of the Bos— ton newspapers. and after a morn ing in the classroom he telephoned his editor that he could not write a funny story. It would be making mockery of reverence. And the professor of one of the large men's colleges..who arrived in smiling mood to make a speech, offered the facil— ities of his entire department for the next school the women should undertake. So those who came. tc ridicule remained to praise. And the movement for citizenship train- ing by colleges and women’s organ— izations together receiWJd a {tre— mendous impulse. “Since that time the National League of Women Voters has made a vigorous campaign for citizenshir training through universities, «col— leges, normal, high and primary schools. “\Vhat the fresh vigor and enthu- siasm of the women voters may ac— complish in combination with men voters who realize the importance of such work must result in profit for the nation, the state, the com» munity, as well as the individual citizen.” STRICTLY DECORATIVE URING the month of October D take a couple of afternoons and gather weeds for painting. They make lovely and cheerful bouquets for winter months when we cannot gather fresh flowers from our gar— dens. Choose the milkweed pods, they are attractive as any weed _ that grows when all dressed up in hol- iday attire. Stalks of mullen, gold- en rod seed pods and even the dried flowers themselves. Dill is pretty and bearded wheat is lovely. In some wet spot you may find the lotus flowers and seed pods. These bring a very high price in the cities, a $1.50 for a single flower well dec— orated. There is the teazle, looking like a large burr, these are lovely dipped in dark red Or green and registrations \ TTII E3 DI] CEII It} ALII 1313 S III E S S l?.A.I{ld'EIIl fig b 315-3. ._ ‘ .;.../ .0 not so much money as thought. in the vay.” he Farm Hom 1‘ ’1‘“ ‘ , ' "mm A Department for the Women .-.é:~i~7'i§l.

The cat—tail is also used but is so stiff that it does not attract me as much as almost any other weed. You will find the wild aster and many other weeds different in your locality than in mine. Seed pods are usually best as they take paint well and are more effective than dried flowers. If you can procure them buy show card colors and mix with water in old tin cans for paint,— ing and dipping. Have small brush- es of different sizes. Some weeds can be brushed others dipped in the cans. Get rich, deep colors, dark rich reds. strong blues and violet. greens and brown and plenty of yel- low. Paint the weeds one day and leave over night to dry. Later touch up flowers and stems with different colors of bronze.

Aids to Good Dressing for Comfort, Appearance and Economy N THE next issue I hope to pub— lish some designs that lend them— selves particularly well to re- modeling and making over, then." that can be used for making light weight suits into comfortable and stylish winter dresses. It is said among importers that. Paris proposes but the American wo- man disposes. In other words she has the last word. The very short skirt coming not far below the knee is gone. Somt women, in fact many, even among the smartly dressed, did not take up the extreme and can now stand pat as far as skirt lengths go. The long sleeve is better estab- lished than the long skirt. For in the most part sleeves are very short or very long. although the loose three—quarter length sleeve is use by many dressmakers, the bell sleeve with wide flare is very popular. liodices are very plain. the neck may be cut on the bateau or boat line or a. very narrow V. The tendency is to trim the skirt rather than the waist. As a rule waist lines are still wide and fairly low. lapes which were so much worn all summer will be good this autumn and the one in last week’s issue is good in every detail. Coat lines are very straight and long with a long shoulder line—a drooping line. You will find 3724 on this week’s page will make the use of two ma- terials easy and still be a very pret— ty and smart dress when complet- ed. 3734 is particularly up-to—date and will be in good style as long as the material holds out as the lines are the very latest.

IV. who was sent- enced. among a hundred oth- ers, for seditious activities during the war and who still has five years to serve in Leavenworth prison. He is there today because he was loyal. to Bill Haywood. The poem ex— presses much fine feeling and true beauty and the intense longing for living. growing things is pitiful. How sad that a man with such fine pos- sibilities should be where he is. We hope that, at the end of his sentence he will be alive and well and able to fill his soul with Nature’s own beauty and loveliness. I am hereby reminded of two stanzas. for many years stored away in the back of my brain of whose authorship I am not sure: Only on Nature's law (‘an some men weep.

HOME-MAKING HELPS By \Vanda Barton LD TABLECLOTHS may be cut' up for breakfast and luncheon napkins. the worn parts of the cloth being sent to the emergency piece bag. ~Instead of hemining the napkins in the usual way. button— hole the hems with old blue, mercer- ized cotton floss. If the strength of the linen warrants it. then finish the edge with tiny crocheted scal- lops of the floss. A square or circle cut from another cloth, may serve as a centerpiece, finished in the same way. This makes a set which will give considerable wear. Napkins which are a little irreg- ular in shape can be used for boiled corn, biscuit or fritter service. For making a long table runner, cut the full length strip of border from one side of the cloth. Finish the edges as suggested with the floss, then outline the large flowers on the end. This treatment is of fective for it brings up the flowers into an ornamental design, which takes away all idea of a makeshift affair. Cross runners for plate. ser— vice may be made from the rest of the border left on the three other sides. This way of using the cross pieces (lees away with extra doilies. The ends of large damask towels which have worn centers, may be made over into children’s bibs. The bears are feather—stitched. and the border is made of a simple outline pattern. For new materials the Italian drawn—work is the fashion of the moment. It is done on rather coarse and unbleachedtlinen. Tirato, it is called and strongly resembles the Fayal work done in the Azores and the Porto Rican drawn—work. The designs used are cross-stitch, t’ilet (St-FA hat—4......» OQSK'SfiL‘SmCDOQ .

After the hems are put into the pieces the threads are drawn from the warp and woof at regular in- tervals, and the cut threads are bound or wrapped to hold until they are taken up in the pattern. One may buy the patterns, and direc- tions come with them just how to work them out in the linen. Lovely linen panels for parasols are worked out in butterfly and floral patterns, and the panels are joined by an openwork stitch. The frame underneath is painted white or the ribs are ribbon wrapped so that they do not show through the openwork stitches. Table sets, after the threads are drawn, have the pattern woven in color, which makes the pieces very effective. This is a period of color and the table things are not im- mune from its influence. Where an allover cloth is done, the centerpiece is designed right in the middle of the cloth, and the border falls, but eight or ten inches below the edge of the table. Gingham -breakfast sets are new and the large, half-inch plaids are used for their making, out the de- sired size. The edges are finished with rickrack braid. A border is formed by working a cross—stitch in the squares, blue or pink on White. and white on the colors. A thin. cotton flannel strip runs under the gingham to protect the table.——De~ troit Journal. HOMELESS CHILDREN HE MICHIGAN Children’s Aid Society. with headquarters and Receiving Home at St. Joseph. is caring for more than four hundred children. Some of them are to be placed ou‘ permanently in adoption homes. Others have living parents who hope to regain their children and re—estahlish their own family life which is for the present brok— en up. These the Aid Society is as- sisting by giving temporary care to their children. The two boys in the picture above are brothers who are in need of a foster home where in time they may be adopted. They are fine in every way and deserve a high grade home. Some good family in Michigan would be made much happier by the addi- tion of such a pair of boys. There are also a brother and sister waiting to go into a home where both will be welcome. Then there is a family of five brothers and a sister, all attractive. Perhaps three of ‘these can go into one home and three into another. In addition to such little groups as these there are many boys and girls from six to twelve years of age. Some can go for adoption while others can be taken for a period of a few weeks or months while the natural parents are incapacitated. It ought.to be possible for any good family in comfortable circum— stances to make room for at least one child. The home would have to be high grade in order to meet the requirements of the Aid Society, for they are exceedingly careful of the interests of these children. But why should not every well-to-do farmer who reads this paper be- cOme interested in helping these un- fortunate children? Money is scarce. Many, very many parents are out of work ‘and a great number of boys and girls are brought to the Michigan Children’s Aid Society for care. There are other ways of helping.

There was very little of the land cleared at that time and there were woods on all sides of us. My father had a lot of long—nosed. razor-back hogs that lived mostly in the woods upon acorns, hickOry nuts and beach nuts. One of the old hogs got into the habit of kill— ing and eating our chickens and father had to keep her shut up in the pen so she could 'not get to the chickens. One moring father and I took the gun and went to the woods after the cows. On our way back we saw a long-cared owl and my father shot at it. in; it but he hit it breaking its Wing and it fell to the ground. He took the owl by the wing and dragged it to the hog pen and threw it to the pig for her breakfast. The pig made a Image to catch the owl as it was thrown to her but. the owl seized her by the nose with both claws. When the old pig found she could not make the owl release its hold she began to run around the pen and squeal. When the owl finally did let go the pig 'nearly tore the pen down getting away from it Father let the pig out of the pen next morning and she never offered to kill any chickens from that time on.——Ju1ian A.

Crops Show Improvement Little Frost; Good Rains; Fine Weather; Late Crops Yielding Well- HE LATE potato harvest is in full swing in most sections of Michigan, and the yield is much better than anticipated. Early po- tatoes, were, however, a virtual failure. Prices paid to farmers range from $1.10 per cwt. in Me— costa county, to $3 and $4 per cwt. in the more southerly counties where most of the crop up to the present time has gone directly to merchants or consumers. Early last week farmers were being paid from $3.25 to $4 per cwt. for beans. Since then the price has dropped 25 to 50 eta. per cwt. Corn prices range from 50 to 60 cents per bushel; wheat from $1 to $1.15; oats, 27 to 42 cts., depending upon locality and whether new or old; hay, $10 to $20 per ton; rye. 70 to 90 cents per bushel; eggs, 30 to 40 cents per dozen. General- ly speaking the lowest prices record- ed are in the northerly sections of the state and the highest in the southern portions. Proximity to market is a larger factor than ever before in making the price to the farmer owing to the high freight rates. WeJhtcnnW—Wheat is in and silo-fill— ing done.

She coughs some every few days and coughs a lot when you hurry her. She eats Well and Seems hearty. But is real thin and doesn’t. flesh up any. Would like to know if this would be tuberculosis. If I had the State Veterinarian examine her what would it cost me or would the state stand some expense?——Mrs. M. D., Blan— ey. Michigan. Get the State Veterinarian to test if possible; should he refuse, then have your 10— cal veterinarian; the state will at least furnish the tuberculin to make the test and be sure you have a veterinarian approved by the state then, should she prove to be tuber— cular the state will pay the apprais- al on her which should be fifty dol» lars. CON TAG‘IOUS ABORTION I have a. dairy of 6- head of cows and last fall one of them lost her calf at about sevon months. So far as I know she has never received any injuries which would cause her to do so. month or so later another cow did thl same thing at about the same. time. tha‘ is, at seven months. I then had two COWs whivh came in all right but arrain had two do the sann (‘an you suggest wh'l‘ and give, advice as to contagious abortion? Michigan, this last Spring I as those last fall. be the cause the remedy? ls it ‘——R(‘thll'l', llchll, You undoubtedly have contagious abortion in your herd and I would advise you to take the matter 111 with the State Veterinarian at Lans- ing, Michigan. You should get, some help along the line of treatment and the whole matter will be kept con- fidential so the condition of your herd will not be publicly exposed. SIIEEI’ HAVE STORIAITII \VORl‘IS I have lost several Slltwl) recently. A swelling comes under the jaw and they drink lots of water. Their eyes at times looks as though they Were going blind. Nearly all die that get in this condition. What ails them?—H. A. St. Midland, Michigan. From the meagre description giv- en I should judge that your sheep are affected with stomach worms and would advise that you take one of the sheep or lambs that appear to be in the last. ’stages of the disease and either perform an autopsy or have a veterinarian do so to make sure of the cause of the trouble. The stomach worm is found in the fourth stomach from 1—2 to 3—4 of. an inch in length and has the appearance of a red and white thread twisted to- gether, when it is full of blood. The presence of Worms in a flock is indicated by the lambs becoming dull and listless, the wool dry and .harsh, the skin which should be a bright pink, becomes pale. and the eyelids when turned back show the membranes to be clear instead of a network of blood vessels. In the last stages, a dropsical swelling ap— pears under the jaws. When worms are present, the lambs should br drenched with some vermifuge and changed to fresh pasture. Copper sulphate. commonly known as blue vitrol, is an excellent remedy, bu‘ one that must be used with extreme care owing to its poisonous nature. Sheep to be treated should be kept off feed for eighteen hours before treating. Just before treating. diS» solve one ounce of copper sulphate in tWo quarts; of water and admin— ister doses as follows: For a three months old lamb, 24‘. of an ounce of the solution: for a six months old lamb, 1 1—3 ounces; for a yearling two ounces and for a mature sheep 3 ounces. Any of the solution left over should be destroyed, as it is not safe to use unless fresh. A so— lution can best be obtained by sus- pending the ounce of copper sul- phate in a cloth and lowering it into the water only far enough to sub- merge the copper sulphate.—-—-Geo. A.

Hal- laday of Lansing will alsobe mem- bers of the delegation Which will do its level best to secure next year’s, dairy show for Detroit. It goes without saying that all of the gen- tlemen mentioned will be looking out for tips that will add to the interest of next year’s Michigan State Fair. The secretary—manager and the business committee of the State Fair are working out the details of a plan that will add 200 head to the stab— ling capacity of the big cattle barn at the fair grounds; this will make room for 664 head of cattle in this splendid building. ing the structural changes will be very small when the greatly increas- ed capacity of the rearranged build- ing is taken into consideration. One of the most worthy exhibits, in the Angus division of the recent State Fair, was made by Frank Perry, Davison, Mich. Mr. Perry is not in a position to devote so much time to the fitting of his herd as is given by some of the exhibitors who patronize the big show circuit but the high average quality of his herd is attested by the good showing it made in competition with the strong. est entry list ever shown in the state. The three—ye'ar—old bull Black Rosegay, which stood in third place at Detroit with only Scripps and Carpenter & Ross above him, is one of the best Angus bulls the writer has ever seen; he was senior and grand champion aged bull at Bay City and Davison. The Perry herd also won third on two—year-old bull and junior bull calf and fourth on senior yearling heifer. It' was, indeed. a very great honor to be “in— side the money” in the cattle show at the 1921 Michigan State Fair. At Bay City the Perry herd was again in competition with a part of the Scripps herd. Black Rosegay win- ning the grand championship over Editor of Wildwood and taking first on exhibitor’s herd. Mr. Perry also won first on bull under six months, heifer under six months and on calf , herd; he also won second on aged cow.

MAPLE SAP VINEGAR A year {:0 last spring we made a barrel of maple sap vinegar, boiled down sap until we thought it about the right sweetness and it has been out of doors ever since. It; is same as vinegar but stringy and rather light colored, Can any one tell me what to do to make good vinegar out of it as, it is worthless as it is? J. G., Manton, Michigan. Peach Hill Orion King, No. 152489. heads the fine herd of Duroc Jersey swine owned by Inwood Bros., of Peach Hill Farms, Romeo, Mich. This boar is one of the finest of the breed in liliehigan and won 3rd prize in the 2 years or over ' class at the 1921 State Fair against stiff competition from this and other states.

NEW YORK FUR SALES OME 400 buyers from Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Milwaukee and other leading domestic mar— kets as well as from Montreal, Tor— onto, Canada also several from Eur- ope attended the New York Fur Auction Sales which were held in New York City from September 19 to 24. The interest throughout the sales was good "and prices on nearly every article was higher than gener- ally expected. Quantities of the various articles offered and sold were: Bear 851; beaver 6,160; civet cat 45,700; coon 36,900; ermine (white weasel) 120,000; fisher 320: fox, cross 537; fox, grey 11.000; fox, red 21.200; fox, silver 169; fox, white 2.980; house cat 20,000; lynx 1,048; mar— ten 8,480; mink 20.600; mole 816,— 000; .muskrat 395,000; oppossum 261,000; otter 1,135; skunk 143,- 500; wild cat 15,000; wolf 35,000. Results compared with the prev- ious or April sale were: Bear 25 per cent higher; beaver 10 per cent higher; civet cat no change; 1‘an coon, northern 20 per cent higher: raccoon, southwestern 35 per cent higher; ermine 20 per cent higher; fisher 20 per cent higher; fox, cross 20 per cent higher; fox, grey 15 per cent higher; fox, red no change; fox, silver fresh clear skins 30 per cent higher; fox, white 20 per cent higher; house cat no change; lynx 15 per cent higher; marten 10 per cent higher; mink 20 per cent high- er; mole no change; muskrat, brown 30 per cent higher: muskrat. south— ern 50 per cent higher; muskrat. black 10 per cent higher; possum 10 per cent lower; otter, northern 20 per cent higher; otter. southern 40 per cent higher; skunk. eastern 30 per cent higher; skunk, northern 25 per cent higher: skunk, south- western 30 per cent higher; wild cat, northern 10 per cent higher: wild cat, southern 10 per cent high- er; wolf, northern 30 per cent high- er; wolf, southern 25 per cent high« er. Other Louis where sales will take place in St. about same quantity will be offered. During the summer some small sales were held at VVin- nipeg, Canada and a few weeks ago a sale of fair size was held at. Mon- treal, Canada where best spring muskrat from Michigan, Wisconsin and similar sections ranged from $1.75 to a little better,than $2.00. Reccoon sold as high as $5.50. Michigan best black skunk $5.50; mink ranged from $7.00 to about $20.00. Trappers and small dealers must remember that these prices are gross from which selling charges must be deducted and vary from say 5 to about 10 per cent. Thus a skunk selling for $5.50 would mean only about $5.00 to the ship- per. Again remember that. the prices mentioned are top and that most pelts sold for much less. AS the trapping season will soon be here again many are wondering what values will be. This is a ques- tion rather hard to say in advance but indications now point to very satisfactory prices at least when compared with most other farm pro- ducts. Results of the sales as given would tend to show a good demand for with the exception Of opossum no article showed a decline and with the exception Of red fox and civet eat all advanced in comparison with April when the New York Fur Auc- ltion Sales Corporation held their previous sale. The general impression is that the supply of raw furs is rather short and that manufacturers are buying for immediate needs. If business conditions, in general, were good there is no question as to raw fur prices—they would be high—but under present conditions no one looks for “boom” figures but at the same time probably higher than present business" conditions would indicate. 1 I 1 l l BUSINESS FARMERS’ EXCHANGE 5c ’1'} “'3'RI)v PFR- ISTUE—I—S. insertions for 10¢ per Word.- Form for sale ads. not accepted for less than 3 times. wen 5 “ons Is_tm mnnmum acceptul for any ml. 1.11 tho-1 department.
